Conan: A new life begins with becoming a Kamen Rider

After a long wait, the driver was busy.

The taxi sped along in the dark night, and soon brought Conan and Xiaolan to the address left by the client.

After paying the fare and getting off the taxi, Conan and Xiaolan saw a luxurious courtyard. At the same time, more than a dozen men and women stood at the main entrance of the courtyard. The middle-aged man in the leading position was particularly conspicuous, which can be seen from the expensive suit and temperament on him.

Xiaolan asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Gu's home? I'm a detective from the Maori Detective Agency."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm the client on the phone, Gu Dashan. Detective Maori, you're finally here!" (The series didn't mention what Mr. Gu's name was, so I made up this name randomly. Please forgive me.)

Just as Conan had deduced, this client, Gu Dashan, had no idea about the Maori Detective Agency. He rushed up and held Xiaolan's hands tightly, and then shouted excitedly, "Please help me, Detective Maori! As long as my baby daughter can be found, the commission fee is not a problem!"

"Okay, I... I will do my best."

Xiaolan was a little overwhelmed by Gu Dashan's excited attitude. She was forced to run away, but then she thought that the person being kidnapped was Mr. Gu's own flesh and blood, so the other party's fierce attitude seemed quite reasonable.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Xiaolan recalled what Conan had told her in the car, and then said, "Please lead the way. I need to go to the crime scene for preliminary analysis."

"Okay, come this way."

Led by Gu Dashan, the group headed deep into the courtyard, and soon came to a back garden with rockery and ponds.

Gu Dashan introduced, "It's here. My precious daughter Jingzi was kidnapped here. Detective Maori, please take a look. As long as you can find clues, you can even tear this place down."

"Okay."

Xiaolan walked into the back garden and pretended to look around. In fact, she was attracting the attention of everyone in the Gu family so that Conan could find the real clues.

Under the gaze of more than ten Gu family masters and servants, there was really nothing to see. Xiaolan clenched her fist and coughed lightly, then put on a very professional look and asked: "Is there any witness at the time, or who was the first to arrive at the scene of the crime?"

"It was me. I was at the scene when the young lady was kidnapped."

An old man in a butler's uniform walked out of the team and then began to narrate: "My name is Aso, and I am the master's butler. At that time, I was watching the young lady playing with a ball here. Suddenly, a masked man jumped out and held the young lady hostage. The other party said that if the company was not closed for a month, the young lady's life would..."

Butler Aso did not continue to say the rest, but anyone who is not a fool can understand what is behind it.

Xiaolan, who was full of justice, was immediately filled with righteous indignation and said, "Damn it! Who would do such an excessive thing! He actually attacked an innocent little girl!"

Gu Dashan shook his head solemnly, "I don't know, but when we run a company and do business, it is easiest to have disputes with others. My company has had conflicts with many peer companies. Maybe one of them is holding a grudge."

"Excuse me, was the person kidnapped here?"

Just as Gu Dashan was guessing who the kidnapper would be, Conan walked to the corner of the back garden. Just as Conan was carefully looking at the surrounding environment, suddenly a fierce dog barking sounded in his ears!

"Woof!"

"Swoosh!"

I saw a hound that was a little bigger than Conan jumped out of the bushes and rushed directly towards Conan!

"Be careful!"

Xiaolan was frightened when she saw this scene. She immediately rushed up and wanted to kick the hound away, but the next scene was unexpected for everyone.

The moment the hound made eye contact with Conan, its ferocious temperament instantly became weak, and it even lay on the ground with its tail tucked between its legs, looking extremely scared.

"Stretch out your hand."

"Woo..."

The hound obediently placed its paw gently on Conan's hand.

"Turn over."

"Woo..."

The hound turned over and lay on the ground, revealing its belly, and even stuck out its tongue to try to please.

"Good dog."

Conan said softly

He stroked the hound's belly to praise it.

Gu Dashan was surprised when he saw this: "Little brother, you are amazing. My Big Mac never gets close to outsiders, but you can tame it."

Conan smiled innocently and said, "Maybe I am more popular with big dogs. By the way, uncle, is this big dog usually here?"

Gu Dashan blurted out without thinking: "That's right, this back garden is where the Big Mac usually lives, just right for it to guard the house."

"So that's it~"

Conan still had a childlike innocent smile on his face, but his lenses had begun to reflect light secretly.

Xiaolan, who was standing next to him, saw this and pretended to be calm and squatted beside Conan and whispered, "Shinichi, did you find anything?"

"Well, this kidnapping case is actually like this..."

Conan leaned over to Xiaolan's ear and whispered his discovery, and Xiaolan listened attentively, afraid to miss a word.

After remembering all of Conan's reasoning, Xiaolan stood up and faced the group of people from the Gu family, or more precisely, Butler Aso in the crowd.

Xiaolan: "Butler Aso, according to your description, the place where we are standing now is the crime scene of the kidnapping case, right?"

Butler Aso nodded gently: "That's right, the young lady was kidnapped by that mysterious man here."

After getting this answer, Xiaolan's heart instantly settled down, and then she looked at the other servants and asked: "In this case, I would like to ask everyone else present, at the time of the incident, in addition to Butler Aso's call, did anyone hear any other sounds."

"No."

"I only heard Butler Aso's voice, and nothing else."

"I happened to be nearby, but when I rushed over, Butler Aso was the only one left here."

The servants of the Gu family looked at each other, and finally gave a fairly consistent answer without any prior agreement, that only Butler Aso's voice was heard at the time of the incident.

Seeing that the foreplay was almost done, Xiaolan gave a [heavy punch] according to Conan's previous instructions!

"If that's the case, don't you all think it's too strange? Conan was almost attacked by the Big Mac when he was just standing here. If the kidnapper came from outside, why didn't the Big Mac take any action? Not even the most basic barking."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Gu family felt their heads buzzing! As the first discoverer, Butler Aso had a cold sweat on his forehead, and his feet moved back involuntarily.

"Butler, where are you going?"

"Hmm!"

Butler Aso turned his head and found that Conan had come behind him at some point, and his eyes were filled with maturity and sharpness that didn't match his age!

"The breed of the Big Mac is an Alsatian wolfhound. This kind of hound is extremely loyal and obedient, and will not retreat even when facing an opponent stronger than itself. If there was really a kidnapper at that time, the Big Mac would never remain indifferent."

Although Conan's voice was still crisp and tender at this moment, it was full of oppression, which made the butler Aso, an old man over 60 years old, tremble in his legs.

Conan continued at this time: "That's right, there are too many things in this kidnapping case that people can't understand, but if all the unreasonable factors are eliminated, there is only one truth!"

Conan pointed at the butler Aso fiercely and made the final judgment like a judge!

"This kidnapping case is completely fictitious. From the beginning to now, it's just you who is performing a one-man show!"

"Plop!"

As Conan's last word fell, the mental defense of the butler Aso finally collapsed completely, and the whole person knelt directly on the ground.

The truth is self-evident.
