Chapter 1018 It’s Hard to Stay Still
"Don't you want to reveal the other party's information for the time being? I respect your decision, but you'd better make sure that this secret will not threaten others... This is a very dangerous ability, Detective. If the other party is really a person with special characteristics, once it gets out of control, it may bring a bad ending at any time. If you find any signs of danger, tell me as soon as possible. You know, we just need to..."
Looking at the words "Akechi Goro" typed on the phone screen, Conan's thoughts were pulled away from his memories.
"...a name." He muttered to himself, hesitated for a moment, and carefully put it in the draft box.
It might be a bit naive to think so, but he still wanted to try it himself first.
Confirm the other party's position, try to find out the truth about his ability, and then consider whether to introduce him to Joker.
Once he gave this name, he was essentially recommending Goro Akechi to the Phantom Thieves, which would be dangerous for both of them.
I'll ask the doctor to help me write a program to set up this email as an emergency contact.
If you encounter any risks, send it to Joker as quickly as possible...
Thinking of this, Conan felt heavy-hearted and pushed open the door of the office with a serious expression.
——Then I saw Kogoro Mouri, who was standing with his hands on his hips and laughing.
"Is this another commission?" Conan's serious mood suddenly collapsed, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Or is it something else, an advertisement or something like that?"
By the way, after the last incident with Ito Suehiko, Mouri Kogoro really took the advertisement.
That's the sleeping pill that helps you sleep...
Although I always felt something was wrong, the price offered by the other party was really high.
So after the incident with Ito Suehiko ended, Goro Akechi got the endorsement and promotion of Fantasy Park, Kogoro Mori received a high-priced advertisement, and the other detectives also earned considerable income and fame. Everyone has a bright future.
With this calculation, Ito Suehiko seems to be a pretty good person.
"It's a news interview." Mao Lilan, who was choosing formal clothes for her father, raised her head and answered, "He is also a very famous mystery writer. You should know Conan. His name is Morokuchi Masuki."
"Oh, Mr. Morokuchi Masuki..." Conan suddenly thought of him and nodded in understanding, "He has indeed become very famous in the past two years. He is a mystery writer who pays great attention to technique, logic and details."
In other words, it is an orthodox school that is not so neo-orthodox.
The orthodox school is a genre of detective fiction that focuses on logical puzzle solving, fair layout of clues, and realistic techniques. The core tricks are often very scientifically designed.
However, due to the brilliant resumes of their predecessors, it has become increasingly difficult for later mystery writers to create purely orthodox works. It is a bit like the predecessors in certain disciplines have already researched to the point where there is no way forward for the time being, so later researchers can only write papers using exhaustive methods.
As a result, the new orthodox style came into being, which emphasizes the innovativeness of the techniques, the importance of the core tricks in the work, does not emphasize the practical feasibility of the techniques, and often does not care so much about whether the motive itself is reasonable.
Because designing a ridiculously complicated method to kill someone is a bit sick in itself, and there are many cases in this type of works where a building is specially built to kill someone. It is unrealistic to expect people to have reasonable motives.
Because of this, mystery writers like Morokuchi Yoshitaka, who are still pursuing authentic writing in the new era, have gradually become more famous.
"How did you come up with the idea of talking to Uncle Maori?" Conan recalled for a while, puzzled, "Is there a plan to release a new work, so you need some news?"
Mao Lilan put down her tie, thought for a while, and nodded slowly.
"It seems so. He wants to promote his new series. As for the reason for the conversation, the other party on the phone said something like, 'Mr. Moroguchi is very interested in the methods of murder in real life, and wants to discuss and understand the various cases that Detective Mori is involved in'..."
"I just think that Uncle Maori has been very popular recently, and I want to take advantage of his popularity to get publicity." Conan said.
"That's possible. But it's not a bad thing, right? Isn't he a very good author?"
"It's hard to say..." Conan looked away and said subtly.
According to what he learned about the ecology of mystery writers from his father, authors who pay great attention to details are usually the kind of people who are almost obsessive-compulsive in real life.
In other words, he is difficult to talk to and hard to get along with.
He writes beautiful books, but his personality is full of flaws. He is not suitable for close friendship with others, but there is no contradiction, and sometimes there may even be a causal relationship.
Talking to such a person would probably not be a good experience even though Kogoro Mori has a good social status now.
"Well, the money from his publishing house is not small." As if he heard Conan's subtext, Maori Kogoro waved his hand nonchalantly, "Even if we don't get along well, the worst that can happen is that we won't have much contact in the future. For adults to socialize, it's enough to just get along on the surface."
That's right...
When Conan wanted to say something else, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Conan's heart suddenly beat faster, and he quickly took out his cell phone to check the caller ID.
“…It’s Genta.” After answering the phone, Conan couldn’t help but sound a little speechless.
I don't know why, but I feel like I'm always startled for no apparent reason lately.
Who should be blamed for this? It seems that he should blame Goro Akechi, who ran up to him, caused trouble, and threw gloves.
"What's up? Eh? Playing baseball? But today I..."
Conan felt that his social energy for the day had been exhausted and was just about to find a reason to decline when he heard Genta on the other end of the phone shouting in an extremely excited voice.
"Kitagawa-san is coming too! If you don't come, don't blame us for not notifying you!"
----
"The result is finally out. I was saying that Conan just didn't want to play with us recently, but when he heard that someone else was coming, he suddenly got excited."
When Conan walked into the baseball field with his skateboard, he saw Kojima Genta complaining about him with an unhappy look on his face.
"I just, uh, because Uncle Maori is a little busy..." Conan laughed dryly twice and didn't feel like refutating.
He actually has quite a lot of holidays recently, but he really turns down invitations from the Junior Detective Team whenever he can.
The truth is that after Kogoro Mouri's schedule became busy, he dared not relax and seldom could find time to play with his friends.
Even last time they went to Fantasy Park, they all came out together, but in the end he left them to play in the park because of Ito Suehiko's case, and he went out to investigate...
"You can't blame Conan. He was indeed called by name several times by the client." Haibara Ai looked at Conan's expression and couldn't help but teasing.
It wasn't that she wanted to tease Conan, but when she went to the Phantom Thieves in the morning, she heard her sister talk about what happened when Conan went there today, and it was hard for her to hold back.
Conan actually went to ask Joker whether Goro Akechi was also a mask user like them.
Let’s not talk about the question of whether it is true or not. If she remembered correctly, Conan has already preliminarily determined that Goro Akechi is Kumail. Why is he still hesitant and unwilling to say the other person’s name?
Could it be that he was really fooled by Tang Ze and believed his nonsense that "Akechi Goro can be trusted"?
Then Tang Ze was even more of a heavyweight. One dared to ask, and the other really dared to take advantage of the situation. He immediately asked him who he was and if he was suitable, he would be absorbed into the group.
In fact, the main responsibility still lies with Tang Ze. Conan, who has almost come into contact with every identity of Tang Ze, is dizzy and confused by Tang Ze's adaptable and seamless disguise skills. It is not entirely Conan's fault.
But she understood the reason, and she couldn't hold it back.
After Haibara Ai said this, the looks that the Junior Detective League cast towards Conan became even more resentful.
"Yes, Conan is already a famous detective, so he doesn't need to care about what we think." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya sighed in a condescending manner, "We are far less successful than Conan, and we can't even call him out to play."
"Hey, this is called being a big shot, right?" Kojima Genta also sighed.
"…Because this client wants to entrust something with Kid, you can't blame me." Conan sighed as he watched a group of elementary school students gather together and their tone of voice change. He couldn't hold it in any longer and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, how did you find Kitagawa brother? Did he leave you his number?"
As he asked, he couldn't help but look at Kitagawa Yusuke who was sitting on a bench not far away.
Maybe because he came out to play baseball with the kids, Kitagawa Yusuke did not wear his kimonos for a rare time. Instead, he changed back into the shirt and jeans he was wearing when Conan first met him.
After seeing this man for a long time wearing a kimono and formal attire, appearing in various formal occasions, Conan was a little uncomfortable when he suddenly saw him dressed in such casual attire.
The shirt was a new one, no longer the old one that had been starched to the point of being a little stiff, but the jeans looked the same.
"Oh, last time I went to the police station to supplement the notes from the Fantasy Park, I happened to run into Kitagawa-nii who was helping the police officers from the Investigation Division to draw..." Yoshida Ayumi raised her hand, "I asked him if we could come out and play together, and he agreed."
Tang Ze, who was a little distance away from them but had sharp hearing, caught these words and also cast a resentful look at the children, especially Haibara Ai, who was covering her mouth and obviously trying to suppress her smile.
What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? I don’t want to laugh at you, okay?
Recently, Tang Ze has been mainly active in the identity of Goro Akechi. Unless it is necessary, he will not use this identity.
Being a KY is indeed fun, but walking on stilts has its own troubles.
So that day, the person Yoshida Ayumi ran into was actually Morobushi Kagemitsu who went to the Investigation Section 1 to look for Matsuda Jinpei.
Adachi Toru's identity is full of memes, but now he is indeed a consultant for the Metropolitan Police Department.
Jinpei Matsuda does not need to clock in at the police station, and the Investigation Section rarely contacts him on its own initiative because they have some dissatisfaction with Adachi Toru, so this identity actually has no responsibilities, and is mainly used as a functional vest to facilitate investigations.
The situation was similar that day. Jinpei Matsuda went to the Metropolitan Police Department to retrieve the required files, so he changed his identity to Toru Adachi.
Kenji Hagiwara had just awakened and was still in the excitement of the battle, so he went to the subway to do his daily work. The one who accompanied him to lend a hand was Morofushi Kagemitsu.
Since they went to the Metropolitan Police Department instead of the National Police Agency, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Morofushi Kagemitsu did not use the identity of Sanada Akihiko. Instead, he chose the more reasonable identity of Kitagawa Yusuke of the Entry and Exit Search Section. As a result, he ran into Yoshida Ayumi.
Although he understood in theory that Tang Ze should not mingle with all the elementary school students, when Yoshida Ayumi greeted him in a very familiar manner and then asked him if he wanted to come out and play, Morobushi Kagemitsu still hesitated.
Since he didn't use it much, he didn't know the real social situation of this identity, nor did he know how close these children were to this identity.
Out of caution, he agreed.
So it was also difficult for Tang Ze, who suddenly received a call and ran over to help his teammate, to remain calm.
It's nothing, he just met Conan too many times today.
In the morning, I met Conan in my original form, and then Conan directly attacked me at the base, and then I switched to Joker form to meet him again.
Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief after the meeting, a call came in and it was Kitagawa Yusuke who came again.
I hope Conan doesn't have any schedule tonight. He really doesn't want to go back and meet him using the identity of Goro Akechi. That would really be a nuisance to P5.
Conan looked at Kitagawa Yusuke, who was sitting on a chair and seemed not to intend to get up and join, and couldn't help but look at the other's hand again.
Of course, it can't be seen.
Kitagawa Yusuke was invited by the children to play baseball, and he is wearing a baseball glove.
Conan, feeling that he was a little too much, coughed and had no choice but to join the naughty kids' baseball game.
"By the way, Brother Kitagawa, isn't he going to come and play with us? Just sitting there and watching?" Conan couldn't help but ask after putting on his baseball gloves.
"He said that fighting with kids is not fair, so let us play first and call him when we need more people." Yoshida Ayumi spread her hands.
"...So, is calling him here just for decoration?"
"He's a painter, maybe he's not good at sports?" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya thought about it and found a reason for him.
"That's impossible. You've all seen him like that before." Conan made a gesture of drawing his sword and slashing.
Kitagawa Yusuke does have thin arms and legs, is tall and skinny, and looks like a melancholy painter, but Conan knows very well what the Phantom Thief of Hearts looks like.
The amount of exercise is huge, and there are also many puzzle-solving segments. Even if you give up thinking and leave the puzzle-solving to your teammates, you still have to fight.
This shows that the opponent's sharp and smooth sword flash under the Twin Towers was indeed a technical skill that was truly the result of hard work and practice.
"Oh, that's right..." Several members of the Junior Detective Team had already taken their positions, ready to serve the ball, but at this moment they were stunned and began to think collectively.
Yes, why do I have the impression that he is not good at sports? Is it because Kitagawa Yusuke is always hungry?
"So he's just too lazy to move." Huibara Ai said.
Tang Ze, who had a full view of the crickets in front of them, blinked, then slowly changed his sitting position.
Although it is a rare switch back to the classic skin that is more convenient for exercise, it does not mean that he has to exercise.
He was still wondering what was going to happen today.
It is common for the Junior Detective Team and Conan to work together, but playing baseball or something like that seems a bit far-fetched.
I always feel like these naughty kids can easily break other people's windows, and then accidentally break something serious...
