Chapter 920 The Possessed God
"How short-sighted are you..." Suzuki Sonoko sighed helplessly, "That's Conan, this is Mouri Kogoro."
"Oh, sorry, I'm rude," Yingyou took his glasses and put them on. , finally looked in the right direction, "Detective Mori! Hello, my name is Eiyu Hondo. It's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me - ah!"
He bowed, this time knocking against the bookshelf behind him. , knocking the box off the top and hitting him squarely on the head.
The scattered items in the box fell to the floor. Not long after he stood up, Hondo Yingyou immediately covered his head and squatted down again.
"...I mean, why do you keep calling him 'that kid' or 'that kid'?" The corner of Mouri Kogoro's mouth twitched, making me think he was some kind of cute little girl.
Seeing him like this, after thinking for a long time, I couldn't seem to find a better name.
"It's just a little slow, and the other thing is that I'm not very responsive..." Mao Lilan recalled the collision with Hondo Yingyou in the morning and shook her head.
Now she understood a little bit what this person meant by wanting to borrow some luck.
Thinking about it seriously, apart from being a little familiar, Hondo Eyou didn’t show anything inappropriate, but from the first meeting with him in the morning, almost every move this guy made was very... It is easy to trigger a series of situations.
"As I said, I'm not slow, I'm just very unlucky." Eiyu Hondo retorted, "I'm the kind of person who takes photos with everyone, and what I capture is always the moment when I can't open my eyes. Ah, it's just like that It’s like being despised by the gods.”
Suzuki Sonoko looked at him and shrugged.
How can I put it this way, if this experience was a girl, it seems that this experience could be used to make a TV series or something, but if it happened to a boy, it would be difficult for the TV series to be a hit.
“That’s why I want to come and see you so much!” After saying this, Yingyou, the main hall, raised his head again as if he suddenly became inspired.
"Huh? Why?" Moori Kogoro, who didn't understand the causal relationship, looked over in confusion.
"I would like to ask you to share some good luck with me!" I, Yingyou, said with a serious face, "Don't you often solve all kinds of shocking mysteries while sleeping? This kind of luck cannot be better!"
Moori Kogoro’s eyes twitched.
This is no different from pointing at his nose and saying that he became a famous detective by picking up leaks.
As if he didn't understand the air at all, the smile on Hong Yingyou's face did not change at all: "At that time, there must be a god possessing you, right?"
The possessed god who was observing him couldn't control it, his expression stiffened, and he quickly held on to his glasses to cover it up.
It sounds very nonsensical, and even somewhat weak when it comes to Mouri Kogoro, but these words actually hit the essence of Moori Kogoro.
"Hey, Hondo-kun, my father is indeed called the 'Sleeping Mouri Kogoro', but that is just a gesture of his reasoning, as if he has fallen into a deep sleep, lowering his head and thinking. , I don’t mean that he really fell asleep..." Mao Lilan was not very confident, but she still retorted as loudly as possible.
The aura from the "gods" on his father is indeed not Kogoro Mori's own ability, but it is the most important disguise for Conan now.
For the sake of everyone, this secret should not be discussed publicly.
“But,” Eiyu Hondo turned to look at her and nodded his chin in confusion, “I have read all the interviews with Detective Maori. Did I say, I am his fan. Detective Maori is always there. Later in the interview, he said that he 'can't remember', 'ask the police for specific details of the case' and so on..."
"That's just a humble comment." Mao Lilan raised a finger to stop him from continuing, "Besides, there are many things that cannot be said to reporters. How can it be possible to directly disclose the specific facts of a criminal case that has not been officially closed? "Publish it? That won't do anything good."
When he told this lie, Mao Lilan's face became calm again.
Although this has not happened in the past, she has actually rehearsed the doubts about her father and Conan's identity many times in her mind.
No matter what, when he was the sleeping Mouri Kogoro, his father did not know anything about the real case. He was just pretending to be a case with a stubbornness that could not lose face.
A detective who has a vague memory of the tricks and puzzles he has carefully solved and even the specific facts of the case must be easily suspected.
So after accepting the truth about her identity, she struggled for a long time, and finally, after several discussions with Tang Ze, she settled on this rhetoric.
“Hey, but I see that Mihua’s reporters don’t have any scruples when reporting cases...” He didn’t expect to get such an answer, and Bentang Yingyou was a little stunned.
“That’s because they are reporters.” Mao Lilan stood up again, “The duty of reporters is to follow the news. They can indeed pursue showing as many sensational details as possible regardless of the difficulty of handling criminal cases. Detectives can't do that."
"Xiaolan..." Mouri Kogoro looked at his daughter's back blankly.
"And my dad remembers everything he doesn't remember!" Mao Lilan cleared her throat and immediately added, "'It's just that mature men shouldn't talk about their achievements.' You don't Have you ever seen his interview? This is what he said.”
"That's true..." Hontang Yingyou seemed to be convinced by her, nodded slowly, and did not dwell on this issue anymore.
He did not continue to ask, but Conan observed the expression on his face with fear.
The reasons given by Xiaolan are very sufficient and can answer many people's questions, but for those who have noticed the abnormalities of Mouri Kogoro, this kind of argument is obviously ineffective.
Here comes a troublesome guy.
Why did he directly target Moori Kogoro? Did he discover some special problem or become suspicious of something?
"But no matter what, I long for the 'Sleeping Mouri Kogoro'. Please, please let me see it!" Hondo Eiyu quickly turned around and looked at Moori Kogoro, approaching with a shining expression. "Give your fans their wishes, Detective Mori!"
"Even if, you say so..." Kogoro Mori raised his eyebrows strangely and pulled out his chest. I flipped through the booklet and said, "The only commission I have now is to conduct an affair investigation and find the identity of the person following..."
As we all know, the sleeping Mouri Kogoro is the only one facing Difficult cases where the police are helpless, that is, a state that only appears in various murder cases with complicated plots. In ordinary circumstances, just putting on a show is definitely useless.
“It doesn’t matter, I have been reading your reports. According to the rules, almost every three days, you will encounter an unexpected case, receive a request for help from the police or accidentally bump into... Today I met If not, let’s do it tomorrow!”
“Are you really a fan? Please give me something good...”
"That..."
While the room was noisy, a strange male voice came from the open door behind them. "Is this the Maori Detective Agency?"
This is another standard line.
Everyone in the room turned their heads and looked over.
"I have a matter I want to entrust to you..."
————
"...Yes, yes, yes. I know, I really caused trouble for you. "
After hanging up the phone, Karasawa looked at the two slightly nervous girls standing in front of him, raised his hand and patted Koshimizu Nanatsuki's shoulder comfortingly.
"Okay, it's solved. We will rent an apartment in the 4th-chome in the name of the firm, and then hire Miss Miyagi Kaoru to officially become the receptionist of Amuro Firm..."
"That's great -" before he could finish speaking, Koshimizu Nanatsuki had already turned around and gave the girl behind her who was wearing a mask to hide her face a big hug, "I told you, it's no problem. Akechi and Shin Bosses, they are all powerful guys!"
After adjusting his tie, Tang Ze met the girl's gaze and smiled gently.
Tokizu Junya's problem has been solved. Koshimi Nanatsuki's friend has officially been freed from murder suspicion, and no longer needs to be forced to stay in Shikoku Island to wait for arraignment because of the case.
This is a good start, but as mentioned before, it has been difficult for her to continue living in her original environment.
She was arrested by the police in public because of Junya Tokijin, and was later temporarily released due to problems with the chain of evidence. However, she still had to face the questioning of the police station and the prosecutor. In the eyes of the people around her, she Whether she really committed a crime is actually not that important. What is important is that she was really arrested by the police many times.
"Maybe I didn't make any mistakes, but it was a problem." Once such an impression is created, it is almost impossible to get rid of it.
Koshizui Nanatsuki, who couldn't wait a day, decided on the affairs of the office, and immediately brought his friend who had escaped from death to Tokyo, but what he had to face immediately was The process has not been completely completed on her, and the criminal record has not been eliminated.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki is still a college student, so naturally she can go back to the dormitory to live, but her friend's situation means that she can't get the necessary certificates and can't rent a normal apartment.
Without a fixed residence, there is no fixed phone, and it is difficult to find a job, even part-time.
So, Koshizui Nanatsuki had no choice but to find his future colleague again and asked him to find a solution.
"It's just that I'm really causing trouble for you." After getting excited, Koshizui Nanatsuki turned around and thanked him very seriously, "Xiao Xun's salary can be directly deducted from my portion."
"What is this? Our office already needs someone to work. I'm very busy, and so is my boss. It's not like the Heavenly Gate is open." Tang Ze laughed, "It's just a small favor. This is the condition of our 'deal'. You join us and I will solve the problems."
Yue. Mizu Nanatsuki's expression softened a lot, but he still shook his head and bowed very seriously.
"Don't take other people's help for granted just because we will work together in the future." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said very solemnly.
"Well, and Mr. Amuro and I have come into contact with people in similar situations to hers. Just think that it is natural for us to sympathize with the innocent people who have been wrongly convicted." Karasawa glanced at the Polo coffee behind him He glanced at the museum and said, "As for Shijin, if you need legal assistance, you can call this number. Their foundation has assisted many victims in similar situations and is very experienced."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki took it, carefully wrote down the word "Suzuki" on the business card, and put it away properly.
"Okay, the contract that needs to be signed and the procedures that need to be completed are almost done." Looking at his watch, Tang Ze added, "The landlord will contact you soon. I have something else to do. ..."
As he said this, an excited shout came from the top of the stairs.
“Are you entrusted with solving the incident?! Great!”
The three people standing below looked up and could only see a man with a beard and curly hair being confused. He was dragged into the office.
"Okay, don't worry about us." Koshimizu Nanatsuki waved his hand, "You have been standing here for so long, why don't you go up?"
I came to Polo Cafe because of Amuro. Toru is here, whether he is signing an authorization contract or formally signing a firm, he still has to go through the process with the real boss.
But why she had to stand under the building and chat awkwardly, she didn’t know very well.
"The right time is sometimes more important than doing the right thing." After answering ambiguously, Tangze waved his hand and watched the two girls who finally struggled out of the quagmire leave together. Then he slowly packed his coat.
Looking at the dark place on the opposite street corner from the corner of his eye, and confirming that the "monitor" had clearly seen what he needed to see, Tang Ze slowly walked up the stairs and walked to the second floor. The Mori Detective Agency that I was already familiar with.
After his figure completely disappeared in the stairwell, Shui Wu Lianna, who was clinging to the wall, took a breath, then raised his head, passed through the windows close to the door of the office, and spoke with a kind of shock and fear. eyes, trying to find the figure he saw.
There was no mistaking it, that face, that expression...
Even if she hadn't seen him for many years, she couldn't forget a face that was similar to her own.
Why did Yingyou come here! And by chance, he appeared in front of Kumail!
What to do, how to prevent Kumail from noticing him...
No, on the contrary, maybe Kumail had discovered him a long time ago, so he stood on the street talking and laughing with the girl he had just met, just like a cat playing with a mouse. He was calm and composed, just because he was afraid that no one would find him. generally.
"This, you are careless, stupid boy..." Shui Wulian gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and secretly made up his mind.
After the recent investigation, the most definite conclusion she can draw is that no matter how seemingly crazy Kumail is, he still has a strong purpose inside.
He would not make such a threat for no reason. If he acted like this in front of her, it meant that "Mizuna Reina" or "Kiel" was worthy of his efforts to calculate and tease. There must be something up his sleeve.
I can't mess up my position. What I should do now is to stabilize my mentality and wait for this shrewd detective who has always been difficult to deal with to give me a clear request.
Be careful, no matter how careful you are, she must be even more careful...
With one mistake, all her past efforts will be in vain, and she cannot lose another relative...
