Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

Kogoro Mori originally planned to invite Natsukawa to go with him.

This guy Natsukawa is his lucky star, and Kogoro Mori likes him quite a bit.

Especially during the Black Star incident.

If Natsukawa hadn't told reporters that Conan was able to find the Black Star thanks to his uncle, the famous detective, he wouldn't have been able to appear in the newspaper.

Therefore, Kogoro Mouri believes that Natsukawa is very likely his lucky cat like Conan.

Moreover, he had a feeling that the client this time might be a young woman or a lady...hihihihi——

It is very necessary to bring Xia Chuan along, as he is definitely a very good supporting actor and often brags about himself.

Plus, he already has a girlfriend, so he’s simply the best wingman.

"You mean, Mr. Maori invited us to solve a case together?" Joel asked curiously.

"Uh-huh."

"..." Xia Chuan hesitated for two seconds. Although he hadn't figured out what the case was, it was definitely not a good thing.

However, Anya's hopeful look still defeated him.

Well, I'm just sitting around at home doing nothing, so it might be nice to join in the fun.

Anya has a lot of schoolwork recently, so just treat it as an after-school entertainment.

But this time, Joel must keep an eye on Anya and not let her run around!

This elementary school student is not much better than Conan. He will run around if he is not watched closely.

Now he finally understood the feelings of Kogoro Mouri and Ran.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The Mercedes-Benz and GTR drove out of Beika Town one after another.

By the way, Uncle Maori’s car is quite durable and it hasn’t exploded yet.

Natsukawa was very emotional, perhaps because the plot had just begun and most of the cases were in urban Tokyo.

It’s not certain after that. As Kogoro Mori’s reputation becomes well-known in Neon, he will receive more and more cases from outside Tokyo, and the scrapping rate of cars will increase significantly.

By the way, Xia Chuan was in doubt.

The Ryoumoto Group may not even have the chance to be acquired by the brewery before it is bankrupt due to the maintenance costs of Kogoro Mori's Mercedes.

After all, the plot has lasted for more than a thousand episodes, and Kogoro Mouri has damaged at least eighty cars, if not a hundred.

Based on the maintenance cost of this Mercedes-Benz, it is not impossible that all the profits of the Ryomoto Group this year can be used to make up for it.

Ryoumoto Natsue made a bold statement that if there was any problem with the car, the Ryoumoto Group would bear the full responsibility.

......

The narrow paths, rugged roads and bird songs add a touch of color to the boring driving experience.

This time the destination is a forest area in the suburbs of Tokyo.

Xia Chuan felt relieved when he learned that the client this time was a mystery novel writer.

The creators of Neon are all weird, or Aoyama is a weirdo, these weird villas are everywhere in the Conan world.

He remembered that there was another weirdo who always cosplayed as a vampire at home, slept in a coffin every night, and didn't even know that his wife had run away with someone.

After a bumpy ride for quite some time, before noon, the group finally arrived at the old villa where the client lived.

Before setting off, Xia Chuan already knew the ins and outs of this commission.

This villa is the inheritance of the client, Nakamura So, from his grandfather.

She had only been there for a few days, and it was said that she couldn't even find the kitchen after living there for a few days.

It's strange that such a person can be a mystery novelist. With his memory, he will probably forget everything he wrote before, let alone fill in the gaps.

In addition, the name Nakamura So is something I have never heard of, so it can be imagined that he is a failed novelist.

After staying there for a few days, he seemed to have discovered some problems and realized that the villa he was staying in might be under surveillance.

As a mystery novelist, he did not choose to call the police, but instead invited the rising star Kogoro Mori to come and help.

While finding the reason, he also wanted to get writing inspiration from Kogoro Mori through this contact.

Xiachuan felt that the other party might be disappointed with this, after all, he knew very well what kind of person Maori Kogoro was. If he used him as a prototype or inspiration for his writing, then Nakamura So would probably only become more and more unsuccessful.

“What a beautiful forest.”

Joel smoothed his hair and couldn't help sighing as he looked at the trees in the forest and the chirping of insects and birds.

I face a group of rookie apprentices every day at the Metropolitan Police Department. Now I finally have the opportunity to come out and breathe some fresh air.

Xiaolan closed the car door indignantly and looked at her father angrily.

There is no need to guess, Kogoro Mori expressed his strong desire for the client from the very beginning, and his desire was for a female.

Therefore, I was dreaming about dating each other all the way. Xiaolan must be angry about this.

Because she thought too much, the car even swayed from side to side. Xiaolan had great self-control for not vomiting, so how could she possibly look at him in a good mood?

Conan, who was sitting in the back seat, didn't have such good luck. After getting off the car, he immediately ran to a tree and started retching.

If I hadn't eaten a light meal in the morning, I would have probably vomited out all the food by now.

The back seat was shaking particularly badly, especially since Conan hadn't had time to fasten his seat belt. He was like a bouncing ball, rolling back and forth.

"Are you OK?"

Anya walked over to Conan and pinched her nose to smell.

Could it be that Uncle Maori discovered that Conan was the one who gave him the anesthetic injection, otherwise it wouldn't be like this...

"It's okay, ugh—"

He retched at the door for nearly five minutes and only recovered after drinking a bottle of mineral water.

"useless!"

Kogoro Mouri muttered something with dead eyes, put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the old villa in front of him.

The overall style of the villa is quite different, but it also has its highlights.

This is the symmetrical building that Teiji Moriya likes most, and it is a little different from the Suzuki family's villa.

There is a row of stairs at the entrance, and there is a porch going up the stairs, which is slightly different from the traditional neon villa.

The strange style of the wooden stair railing and the two lion head door handles on the main door seem out of place in this villa.

It has a patchwork style.

Even someone like Xia Chuan, who has done missions all over the world, couldn't tell what style this was.

Although he didn't see the style, Xia Chuan recognized the case that happened in this villa at the first time!

This is definitely a case that resonates with childhood trauma.

Although the shadows only appeared for less than ten seconds in total, they are still fresh in people's memory!

The most impressive thing is that there is a hole in the wooden door on the second floor of the villa. In the original plot, Conan looked inside through the hole and happened to see an eye looking out.

This scene would have been extremely shocking when he was a child, so he remembered it vividly.

That’s right, it was the robbery gang’s villa incident!

The eye in the hole on the second floor is the kidnapped client, Nakamura So.

His gaze lingered on the lion-head door handle and the hollow columns on the stair railing for a moment. He put his fingers into the hollow columns and tapped on them, and found a glass, confirming his guess.

"Uh......"

Xia Chuan's hand paused, then he withdrew his hand with a strange expression.

Looking at the small lens in my hand, I was a little stunned.

I rely on!

falling down.

Just as he was about to install it back, Conan came over and pushed Natsukawa aside.

Xia Chuan was in a daze when he was suddenly squeezed and the lens in his hand fell off. In the blink of an eye, he didn't know where it fell to.

"..."

He looked down at Conan and shook his head secretly, saying, "You did this yourself."

He didn't have the time to pick up the lens.

Conan obviously also found something strange and walked forward to look at the two handrail pillars.

"Conan, what's wrong?" Xiaolan was worried about Conan, so she kept paying attention to him. She noticed that Conan was staring at the pillar and asked curiously.

"Sister Xiaolan, don't you find it strange? Why is there a tiger statue on the left handrail column, but not on the right one? There are even two holes in the solid wood column."

Conan's curiosity was unquestionable. After confirming that she was not feeling unwell, Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief: "Maybe it's due to disrepair. Didn't I reiterate that belief when I came here just now?

This is the legacy left to Mr. Nakamura by his grandfather. It is normal for this to happen over time. Especially since this is a forest, it may have been damaged by some animal or something. "

After saying that, she glanced at her father.

Maori Kogoro curled his lips and muttered quietly, "How could it be a man? This Nakamura So must be a young and beautiful lady, maybe in her twenties, at most thirty.

Determining gender by name is so rude and not like me at all…”

The father and daughter quarreled about this matter for a few more sentences. Finally, Xia Chuan couldn't stand it anymore and walked up and knocked on the door.

The door opened immediately after the knock, as if the person inside had been standing behind the door waiting.

In fact it is.

Xia Chuan had noticed the footsteps a long time ago. The other party should have been standing behind the door waiting not long after they parked the car.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

asked the short, fat middle-aged man with a big belly behind the door.

“Ahahahaha, I am…”

0.0

The mood that Kogoro Mouri was ready to express himself immediately disappeared. He stared at the middle-aged man in front of him with wide eyes, and was speechless for a long time.

Where is Miss Nakamura So?

He looked behind the short and fat middle-aged man, expecting the real Miss Nakamura So to appear.

However, the result was not ideal, as there was no one behind the short and fat middle-aged man.

"Look, I said Nakamura Sou is a gentleman."

Xiaolan obviously couldn't stand her father's ugly behavior, and added: "But having dinner with Mr. Nakamura shouldn't be bad, don't you think, Dad?"

"hateful!"

Kogoro Maori had lost most of his interest. He shrugged his shoulders and nodded at the other party as a greeting.

"You're talking about Xiaocao, he's not a greasy middle-aged uncle like me."

The short and fat middle-aged man stroked his mustache and shouted inside with a smile.

Soon, a tall and thin man walked out. He looked to be in his thirties, not young, but much younger than the short and fat middle-aged man.

At least it met Kogoro Mori's expectation that the other party was in his early thirties.

Obviously, he is Nakamura So.

"Oh, you must be Mr. Kogoro Mori, right? Hearing about you is worse than meeting you in person. You are more energetic and handsome in person than in the photo in the newspaper!" Nakamura Sou began to praise Mori.

This just hit Maori Kogoro's sore spot, and he smiled slightly: "Ahahahaha, no, I'm really sorry, it seems that there are too many of us."

"It's okay. There are more people, and since you are Mr. Maori's friend, I think you can help."

Kogoro Mouri did not change his habit of getting cocky when praised. He shook hands with the short and fat middle-aged man with a smile on his face. When he was about to shake hands with Nakamura So, he found that the other's right hand was wrapped in bandages.

A few people chatted a little more about the topic of arms and introduced their names to each other.

The short and fat middle-aged man is named Nakamura Chang, and he is Nakamura So's cousin.

"That hand doesn't look like it's been broken and has a cast." Yoel and Xia Chuan were talking behind.
