Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

A bit scary.

The puppet stopped beside Xia Chuan, with both hands raised. In its hands was a wooden plate with a diameter of no more than fifteen centimeters. On the wooden plate, there was a cylindrical teacup, emitting faint hot steam.

"This is......"

Kogoro Mori raised his eyebrows and realized at a glance that it was a mechanical puppet. However, it would be too troublesome to use it to pour tea. There were six of them here, and they would have to wait forever to drink tea.

"This was given to our hotel by a guest who stayed there in the early years. Isn't it cute?"

The owner of the B&B, Kitamura Genbei, and his wife Kitamura Kayo both appeared at the door and explained with a smile, "This guest is very skilled in mechanical engineering. This doll has been used for more than ten years and it's still not broken."

"It's really great."

Xia Chuan nodded, brought the tea to the table, picked up the doll and studied it for a few seconds.

This is a very classic old-fashioned doll, made entirely of wood, with a hole on the back, which should be the clockwork hole.

Through the gap under the puppet's feet, you can see a lot of gears and other things.

When Xia Chuan found out that it used a clockwork instead of a force-driven device like the wooden ox and the flowing horse, he lost interest in it.

Dr. Agasa can develop seven or eight of these things a day, and they can be remotely controlled.

As for the fact that dolls don’t need electricity... haha, Dr. Agasa’s invention can even use solar energy, which is dozens of times better than mechanical dolls.

Technology has changed life.

However, this kind of mechanical doll placed in this ancient hot spring homestay has a unique charm and can be regarded as a finishing touch.

"Honestly, I was shocked. I just watched a TV show about a snow woman, and suddenly there appeared a miniature puppet that could move..."

"Sister Xiaolan, there is no such thing as a snow girl in this world. Monsters and ghosts are all fake. This is not scientifically based."

Conan rolled his eyes. He had explained the same legend no less than a hundred times, but Xiaolan just never learned her lesson.

Even though he was a high school student who received science education and had few rivals in karate throughout Tokyo, he was still afraid of this kind of thing.

As a boy, Conan couldn't understand it at all.

Kitamura Kayo on the other side shook her head and said, "You are wrong. Our Mikamachi has been famous for the frequent appearance of snow women in the area for a long time."

As she spoke, she suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes suddenly widened, and her face became gloomy. "Tonight, the Snow Girl might appear. If you are scared, you should keep your eyes open when you sleep."

"Hehehe..."

Cold sweat appeared on Xiaolan's forehead again, and her heart, which had just been calmed by Conan, began to waver again.

Although she received formal education in a scientific worldview, Xiaolan still couldn't get the folk stories out of her mind.

After all, it is a monster legend that has been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. It must be true to the present day.

Just look at Kidd and you will know, how can there be a magician who can fly in the sky and quickly change his face to disguise himself as someone else? That must be magic.

Seeing Kidd wearing a white battle robe every day, this may very well be the legendary white magic.

Without waiting for Xiaolan to ask for more information about the Snow Girl.

Xiachuan and Yueer suddenly looked at the Japanese-style door behind the Kitamura couple at the same time.

Conan noticed this and turned his head.

Strange, no one is here?

There was no one outside the Japanese-style door, no one was there.

Because they were just talking about the legend of the Snow Woman, and the two of them came over suddenly, Conan thought a lot in an instant, but he did not believe in the existence of the Snow Woman, and just thought it was a small animal like a mouse or cockroach passing by.

Just as Conan was consolidating his scientific worldview, a female voice suddenly came from the door.

"Is anyone there? Is the boss here?"

The Kitamura couple in the living room heard the sound, looked at each other, and realized that the last group of guests had arrived.

"I'll be there soon!" Kitamura Genbei turned around and answered, nodded apologetically to a few people, put the tea on the table, turned around and walked out of the room to greet the new guests.

It seems that the deceased has appeared.

Xia Chuan heaved a sigh of relief, as he was glad that the one who died wasn't the hotel owner, as this wouldn't affect his hot spring bathing.

Conan stared at Xiachuan and Yueer thoughtfully for a few seconds.

He clearly didn't hear any sound just now, but Xia Chuan and Yue Er turned their heads to look outside the door. What amazing hearing!

And Aniya beside Xiachuan had a frozen expression.

The dead appear?

Anya didn't know why her father could always predict death in advance, but she didn't think too much about it. Just like Bond could predict the future, perhaps her father had been transformed by some mad scientist.

Furthermore, after living together for such a long time, she completely believed that her father was sincere to her and would not harm her.

However, there is one thing that is rather strange...it seems that whenever the father predicts someone's death, Conan is present.

"Weird guy."

Anya glanced at Conan obscurely, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She silently took out her camera and fiddled with it for a few times.

Haibara Ai assigned a lot of homework, and she was a little troubled before, but now when she saw Conan, her emotions suddenly surged.

With the dirty info in my hands, I should be able to threaten Conan to do my homework for me, right?

No, it’s about letting the other person guide you.

Haibara Ai is so smart. If Conan wrote the answer directly, the sharp-eyed Haibara would definitely find out that there was something wrong with her handwriting. It would be better if Conan told her the answer and let her write it down herself.

What a clever little boy I am!

Anya silently praised herself and then moved her butt closer to Conan.

Conan shuddered suddenly, turned his head and looked around for the source of the uneasiness, and finally his eyes stopped on Anya next to him.

Glancing at the camera in the other person's hand, he sighed and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. There's no need to take out this thing."

Anya chuckled, revealing her signature half-moon eyes, and the corners of her mouth were almost stretched to her ears, making Xiaolan, who had just relaxed, stand on end again.

Crack girl?

Ignoring Xiaolan's strange ideas, Aniya leaned close to Conan's ear and whispered: "Graybara assigned me a homework. Tonight, you help me with my homework."

"How about I just write it for you? It will be much faster this way."

Conan knew how fast Anya did her homework. It would take her a long time to finish just a little bit, and he didn't want to waste his precious time.

He has been under a lot of mental pressure recently. Sister Xiaolan finally won a coupon for a hot spring hotel experience, and he wanted to enjoy the fun of the hot springs more. He also planned to find a good mystery TV series to relax before going to bed.

Anya's threat somewhat disrupted his plans.

As he was thinking, he suddenly discovered a strange place.

"Isn't that Huihara guy here?"

They have become a family of four, but Haibara Ai didn't come. Could it be that she and Natsukawa's family are not getting along well?

"She went to Dr. Agasa's house."

"Dr. Agasa?"

So that's how it is. Conan nodded with relief. Haibara is a pretty good person. She started researching as soon as she got the research data.

Yesterday they just took a quick look at the feasibility of the research data. Today, Haibara Ai should be checking the completeness of the documents and planning the next research direction.

Conan's face was full of anticipation, believing that in the near future he would be able to become a famous high school detective again.

However, before that, we have to deal with the mess left by the other party - Anya.

"Don't worry, I will tutor you well tonight."

Anya rolled her eyes. "Who needs your guidance? Just tell me the answer. We are focusing on quantity today, not quality."

Outside, Kitamura Genbei bowed 90 degrees and greeted the two beauties in front of him: "You two should be Ms. Kinoshita Akiko and Ms. Asanuma Yoko, right?"

"Yes, I called to make an appointment a few days ago."

"It's really hard work. The road is rugged and it's snowing. It must not be easy to get here. The room has been cleaned up in advance."

The boss nodded with a smile.

Business is good today. There are eight customers in total from three waves, which is the best business in recent times.

Under normal circumstances, there are at most two groups coming here. When there are fewer people, there is almost no one here, not even a single person.

Kitamura Kayo slightly turned sideways and was about to lead the two people into the house when a noise suddenly came from the direction of the living room.

A brush sound.

Kogoro Mouri appeared at the entrance with shining eyes, like a wolfhound that smelled blood.

"What, Boss? You just said Kinoshita Akiko. Did I hear you right?"

Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up, and he put his hands together in front of his chest, like a star-chasing little girl, and quickly locked his eyes on Akiko Kinoshita at the entrance.

Without waiting for the boss to explain, Maori Kogoro rushed over and said, "It's really you! We were just watching you in the Snow Woman's Love, and we didn't expect to see you in person the next moment. We are so excited!"

Kogoro Mori's excitement was not only shown on his face, but also in his body movements.

As if dancing could increase the persuasiveness of his words.

Xia Chuan, who came out to watch the fun, shook his head and had a premonition that the deceased was most likely this Kinoshita Akiko.

After all, anyone who could catch Kogoro Mori's attention was either the murderer or the dead.

Since Akiko Kinoshita is a star, the person next to her who looks like an assistant must be the murderer.

As for the reason, he had already guessed it without thinking. It was either a murder of passion, jealousy, or the female star just liked to bully the little assistant.

"Dad, please control your expression. You are a famous detective..."

Xiaolan secretly said behind her father's back that her father was really out of control.

Even if you meet a celebrity, it shouldn't be like this.

She used to think that her father only liked the female star Okino Yoko, but she didn't expect that after watching Snow Onna Koi, another person named Kinoshita Akiko would appear.

Fortunately, she is a TV actress, not someone like Yoko Okino who holds concerts every now and then.

The family has finally saved a lot of money, and she doesn't want her father to go to someone's concert every day.

"Cough cough cough."

Kogoro Mouri also realized his own gaffe and quickly adjusted his expression and stopped smiling.

However, when he thought of her acting skills, he couldn't help but praise her: "Ms. Kinoshita Akiko's acting skills are so superb, especially the jump into the pool, I would like to call it a classic.

I just finished watching Snow Woman's Love in the living room. It was so good. It is definitely a high-quality work that combines poignant love with traditional folk stories. "

Akiko Kinoshita smiled slightly. She was also very happy that her work was recognized by others, especially since that person was the famous detective Kogoro Mouri.

"It's OK. I took many takes to pass it. And the diving action was not done by me. It was done by Yoko."

Kinoshita Akiko pulled her companion to her side and said with a smile: "This is my special double. Some very dangerous actions are completed by Yoko for me. She is definitely an indispensable part of my acting career."

Most of the TV dramas that Akiko Kinoshita starred in were period dramas, and many of the dangerous actions were performed by Yoko Asanuma. She was responsible for acting, and the other party, who had less acting talent, was responsible for being a stand-in, which was a win-win situation.

"Yoko has been my good friend since college. We entered the entertainment industry together and have worked together until now."

As she spoke, Akiko Kinoshita smiled and put her arm around her best sister's shoulders, but she didn't notice the murderous intent hidden in the other's eyes.

"Is that so!" Kogoro Mouri looked at Yoko Asanuma with scrutiny and found that she looked somewhat similar to Akiko Kinoshita, and their figures were exactly the same.

It seems that it is true that the actress named Akiko Kinoshita is about to die.

Natsukawa crossed his arms and looked at Kinoshita Akiko's face strangely. The other party didn't look like someone who would bully a stand-in. After all, she had been praising Asanuma Yoko just now.

Never mind. It has nothing to do with me anyway.

This case could not bring him any benefits, and he had no intention of getting involved. He took a quick look and didn't pay much attention to it. He still had to put the suitcase in the room.

By the time he put his things away and walked out of the room, the deceased and the murderer had also settled down.

Kogoro Mouri returned to his original state, sitting in the living room sipping beer and eating snacks, as if this was his life pursuit.

But it's almost the same.

Kogoro Mori can indeed be considered a winner in life.

When he was young, he was the best graduate of the police academy. After graduation, he became a criminal police and married a mature lady like Eri Kisaki.

After more than ten years, my daughter has grown up now. The key is that she can both housework and cook, and she even won the lottery!
