Chapter 898 The value of high school detectives
"Hahahaha... Oh my god, Akechi Goro's fans..."
Conan, who had his back to the others, glared at the laughing Hattori Heiji from the corner of his eye, and squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "Okay, don't laugh at you... If you were to eavesdrop, you wouldn't do it. I know how embarrassing it is to say..."
He, a guy who has been called a leaker several times and then interpreted Kudo's hundred homophones, has no right to laugh at himself!
At least you can think of a suitable excuse at that time. You are already a bit smart, okay?
"I understand the truth, but, 'Akechi Goro's fans'..." Hattori Heiji wiped the tears from laughter from the corner of his eyes and repeated what the director said when Conan was sent back, "'No matter how much you like it, you can't disturb it. Adults work! '"
"Hattori you...!"
Before Conan took a deep breath and took action, Hattori Heiji finally controlled his wanton laughter, straightened his expression, and became slightly serious.
"It's clear now. Reina Mizuno and Goro Akechi are not familiar with each other, but they definitely have something to do with the organization."
"It's not just them. I didn't have time to listen, and I don't know if they talked about more in-depth topics. If they discussed things related to the organization behind closed doors..."
Conan did not go on to describe this slightly crazy conjecture, but it was likely to come true.
If, he means what if Toru Amuro, the nominal guardian of Karasawa, was designed by the organization from the beginning, or was infiltrated by the organization on the way...
Hattori Heiji exchanged glances with him, and at the same time saw solemnity and determination in the other person's eyes.
Leaving aside the original reason for participating in this variety show, this trip might actually be quite meaningful.
Before the two of them finished muttering, the dressing room door was pushed open again.
This time, there were accompanying staff following the people who entered. Six or seven people squeezed in, attracting the attention of the detectives who were relaxing in a corner of the room.
"...Who is this?" Hattori Heiji looked at the mixed-race face that walked in the door and squinted his eyes, "It looks familiar. Have I seen him before?"
While looking at the people entering the door, Hattori Heiji had some realizations in his heart.
No wonder Toru Amuro suggested that he and Goro Akechi be bundled together to discuss salary. The TV station could actually accept such an outrageous request. I'm sorry, he and Goro Akechi have the highest national recognition in the entire group...
Conan immediately recognized the person who entered the door, and his eyes twitched.
If he understood correctly, this person is one of the main culprits of this variety show.
If it weren't for the fact that he inexplicably ran back to Japan to go to school, which caused him and Goro Akechi to collide with each other's characters, would there have been conflicts and arguments about who was better? It would have been for no reason. A TV station of the size of Japan Sales would not have made a special trip Such an outrageous variety show project.
The white horse detective in a suit was not particularly skillful in adjusting the cuffs of his straight shirt. Just as he was about to introduce himself, he was interrupted by the staff behind him.
"Okay, dear guests, after a long wait, we will put on your makeup right away and go to the studio to shoot the beginning of a self-introduction. In order to ensure the effect, the shooting may be repeated multiple times, and the process will be confirmed by the PD and everyone."
More staff members came forward and pressed Hattori Heiji firmly on the makeup chair before he could protest.
Hattori Heiji's skin is very dark, but no matter how dark your skin is, you still need to wear makeup when you're going to be on camera.
In order to achieve better shooting results, whether in the studio or on location, a large number of fill lights must be prepared, especially inside the studio. Sometimes the spotlights on the stage will raise the temperature of the studio to a scorching level, no matter what Under such lighting, the skin color is destined to appear flat and lack details, with no texture or complexion.
Therefore, no matter how much Hattori Heiji, who was not used to it, protested, the makeup artist's big brush still hit his face.
"Okay Mr. Hattori, don't move around. If you move around again, the powder will get into your eyes."
“Why do you still wear eye shadow?!”
"It is not a decorative eyeshadow, it mainly adds details to the eyes. Don't hide, kid..."
Conan, who was standing on the edge, watched with a playful smile as Hattori Heiji was being tortured. The next second, he himself was grabbed by the hood by the staff standing behind him.
"I almost forgot, Detective Hattori also brought a child with him. Anyone who needs to appear on camera must be dealt with, so hurry up."
"Wha, no, I don't need it, no--"
An hour later, Hattori Heiji and Conan, who had been cleaned up again and felt that the glitter on their faces must be shining, stood in front of the studio door looking at each other, silent and speechless.
They all know the truth. It is impossible to be photogenic without makeup. Bright lights will smooth out all the differences and details on the face. No matter how good-looking the person is, they will all look the same pale and flat when photographed. But in actual experience, it is really quite Uncomfortable.
"So, does Akechi have to experience this kind of process every day?" Heiji Hattori raised his hand and wiped his cheeks that smelled of makeup and powder, with a strange look on his face, "I suddenly admire him a little bit..."
"Thank you for the compliment. I don't hate your emotion. Work is work. It's impossible if everything goes as you wish."
Hattori Heiji turned around with a stiff expression, and it turned out to be Goro Akechi, who had arrived late, carrying his unshakable suitcase and looking at him with a half-smile.
He has not forgotten that an hour ago, this person was suspected of having come into contact with other people in the organization and was sitting in the dressing room next door, plotting something.
"Okay, control your expression and don't look like you've seen a ghost." Karasawa straightened out his Akechi Goro suit and stood tall in front of the studio door. "I'm going to ask for your advice next time. The famous Western star Detective.”
————
"The boy's name is Nanatsuki Koshizu. He is in the third year of high school this year. He is from Fukuoka and is participating in this program as a representative of high school detectives from the south." Nanatsuki Koshizu, who once again put on his sunglasses, looked confidently at the camera. He smiled and said, "Because Xiaosheng is still a newbie and not very famous. He has only solved about 100 incidents. Please be merciful."
Sitting across the table, Karasawa slowly put down the teacup in his hand, barely able to keep the expression on his face.
Listen, listen to yourself, is what you are saying human?
You are a novice and have already solved 100 incidents. We will treat you as an incident physique and solve 100 incidents one at a time. It will take more than three months to solve the problem efficiently without leaving the problem overnight.
Do you know how many cases a district police station handles in a year...
However, other than him, people in the Kexue world seemed to be very accustomed to this exaggerated number. Not only were they not surprised at all, Junya Tokatsu even nodded naturally and continued following the format of her speech. "Junya Tokizu, although I was actually born in Tokyo, I grew up in Hokkaido. It is probably for this reason that I was invited here as the representative of the north. As for incidents, I have handled about 300 cases, among which The number of people arrested and prosecuted is at least 250. Of course, this number is not the accuracy of my judgment. It is true that many people resisted before being arrested and finally escaped or committed suicide..."
< br>
He said it with a calm face, but he was obviously very proud of his achievements, and his body language was exaggerated to a whole level.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be stung by the word "suicide", and the corners of his eyes twitched.
She was concerned about the current situation, so she quickly controlled her expression, and pretended to bring the tea to her mouth.
This guy who is so arrogant, showing off his excellent results in criminal cases, and so proudly describing his efforts to corner suspects as if they were medals, is actually a slightly famous high school detective. ……
When did the weight of life become so light and so light that it can be talked about as merit?
She now somewhat understands Akechi Goro's thinking circuit.
Although the legal age of adulthood is 20 years old, the maturity of a person's mind is sometimes not directly proportional to age.
If there is really a bastard who has joined the ranks of high school detectives, but is using this identity that makes people preconceived and easy to like to cover up mistakes and crimes, the victims will be hurt, and so will the innocent detectives.
We can’t let this kind of black sheep, with such a high social status, use chicken feathers as an arrow...
Koshizui Nanatsuki was ignited with a sense of mission by his few words, but Junya Tokatsu, who was unaware of it, just ended his introduction without saying anything.
According to the order of speaking, it was Hattori Heiji's turn.
"My name is Hattori Heiji. I am a somewhat famous detective in Kansai." Hattori Heiji was symbolically modest. "The incidents that have been solved so far, well, let me think about it..."
He made a gesture of cracking his fingers, as if he was really calculating, and waved his hand after a moment.
"Oops, there seem to be more than 1,000 pieces. I can't even count them all. Forget it."
"1,000 pieces? Really?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked over in surprise.
"Then you are really awesome..." Junya Tokatsu turned his head and looked at Hattori Heiji up and down, looking unconvinced. ”
Conan, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him unconvincingly.
Why does it feel like you are bragging? Hattori, wouldn’t he be counting all the many free commissions he kindly accepted, such as helping people find lost cats and dogs, and investigating minor problems...
"Ah, I see, you are Hattori Heiji." Hakuba Tan, who was sipping from a cup of black tea, nodded suddenly, "I do often hear my father talking about you. I heard that no matter what kind of thing he faces, he feels that A very keen detective..."
Tang Ze glanced at his profile and thought to himself.
High emotional intelligence and keen senses.
Low emotional intelligence and empty brain.
As expected of someone who has lived in the UK for so many years, he just knows how to talk.
"Your father? Why did your father know about him?" Unexpectedly, there were unexpected lines, and Tokijin Junya couldn't help but look sideways.
"Because they are both in the same situation. They are both children from police families." Tangze, who was sitting at the end, interjected, "The situations are very similar."
"Indeed. My father is the police chief. It's a coincidence that Hattori-kun, you have a father who is the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters." Hakuba Detective introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Hakuba Detective. Well, you must have heard of me recently. ”
He was not active in Japan in the past, so although he seemed to have solved many incidents in Europe, his reputation in China has never been obvious.
Until he returned to Japan, not only did he come back for a vacation, he even returned to school, and he didn't know what new goals he had.
The case that happened at the Blizzard Villa a few days ago did not cause any substantial casualties in the end. In the end, it was natural that the case was attributed to the white horse detective whose identity was most public. It earned him a lot of limelight, so These days, the news and news about him are indeed increasing day by day.
"So, what is the number of cases you have solved so far?" Junya Tokijin asked, who was very concerned about this issue.
"Well... I made some estimates when you were speaking. There are about 500 pieces." Baima tilted his head.
"That means it's only about half as good as mine?" Hattori Heiji choked a little when he was shocked by this sentence. He didn't know whether it was a yin and yang or a real emotion.
"Yes, it's just that this is only an incident that happened in Japan." Hakuba Tan shrugged, looking relaxed and content, "I have been studying and living in the UK for a long time, but I will go back to Japan during the holidays. I can't help it. My nanny always thinks too highly of my abilities and will give me a lot of requests without permission. However, isn’t this show limited to high school detectives in Japan? I’m not counting the number from overseas. Too fair.”
"Hmm, yes, I've heard of it. I'll know your name as soon as you tell me." Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded, "So why are you, a person who is basically active abroad, invited as a representative of the Eastern Region? Xiaosheng thought that even if it wasn’t Kudo Shinichi..."
Her eyes flicked to the face of the last person.
Tangze, who was calmly drinking tea, had no choice but to put down his cup and smiled skillfully at the camera that turned around.
"Are you complimenting me? Then thank you for your approval. My name is Goro Akechi, and you should have heard of my name more or less. As for the incident..." Tangze tilted his head, pretending to think. After a moment, he spit out a number, "I haven't been in Tokyo for a long time, so the total is 218."
The number, which was accurate to single digits, immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
Conan looked at his face blankly. The first thing that came to his mind was not the question of quantity. Instead, he recalled Mouri Kogoro's complaints about the commission fee. Then he substituted Mouri Kogoro's commission fee and made a rough estimate. Income wise.
...No wonder Toru Amuro wants to follow him as his manager.
Even if this firm only charges one penny in profit, it's already making a lot of money, right?
"I'm different from you guys. After all, I'm making a living from this, so I can't forget my progress. That's what work is." Tang Ze bent his eyes, completed his skillful pretense, and looked at the center of the round table again. The vase was placed to cover the radio equipment, and his eyes were quite clear.
Regardless of the off-site factors of Conan, the five people who are speaking at the table now, except for the identity of Akechi, are all detectives who do not accept money and mainly take time out to engage in hobbies in their spare time, but even if Hattori Heiji's numbers are Moisture, the real number is probably only There are three to four hundred, which adds up to more than 1,500 incidents. Add in Conan, Kudo Shinichi, who can become the savior of the Japanese police within a year, and it is certain that the total will exceed 2,000. Most of them are still... This is a criminal case involving human life.
The lineup on this table was almost a set of sample books on criminal investigation related majors. Tangze only felt cold and gloomy. It turned out that the focus of this group of people was not to ask questions about what is going on in this country and this society at all. Whether the public security can be saved, they are actually seriously comparing the number of cases...
So what else could he say besides smiling?
