Conan: Another Famous Detective

Near the Mori Detective Agency, in a certain alley.

Mouri Kogoro put down his phone and let out a breath.

Talking to the other party is not an easy task.

Simply speaking, at least in this incident, the ability and attitude shown by the other party were quite satisfactory. At least Mouri Kogoro didn't mind having such an additional group of partners.

Mouri Kogoro took back his cell phone, turned and walked towards the entrance of the alley.

He planned to go around the neighborhood first. He had previously left the office on the pretext of handling a commission and avoided Xiaolan. Although he had finished the phone call now, it would seem a bit strange to go back so soon.

"Hmm... Why don't you go to the nearby Pachinko or mahjong parlor? Play a few rounds of mahjong. It should be almost time..."

Thinking about it in his mind, Mouri Kogoro had already arrived at the entrance of the alley.

Suddenly, his steps suddenly stopped.

His gaze shifted slightly to the left.

A small figure wearing glasses came into view.

Conan leaned his back against the wall and looked at Mouri Kogoro with a faint look.

Mouri Kogoro's heart was shocked, and a look of half surprise and half anger quickly appeared on his face. He glared at Conan and said, "Why are you here, kid?"

Conan pushed up his glasses and said in a childish voice: "I just thought my uncle was a little strange, so I came to have a look."

"Strange? What's so strange? You little brat, stop caring about adults' affairs and go back and do your homework!" Mouri Kogoro said in an educational tone.

"Of course that's why uncle came out!" Conan said with a smile: "When uncle came out just now, didn't he receive a phone call? You seemed to be calling him Mr. Shibata, right?"

"If I remember correctly, yesterday morning, Mr. Shibata did come to the door and asked my uncle to investigate his wife's cheating. However, my uncle did not go to investigate immediately afterwards."

"Because according to the client, his wife's suspicious behavior will be tomorrow, so my uncle's plan yesterday was to come out and start the investigation today."

"But uncle, when you were at the office, you said that the commission went very smoothly. You have already discovered the suspicion by following the wife. Isn't it strange?"

Mouri Kogoro snorted: "What do you know, you little brat? When the client calls me, even if I haven't completed the task, I have to look like I have gained something, so that the client can rest assured that I can continue to complete this task." Delegate.”

"Really? Then this client is really impatient!" Conan chuckled: "Yesterday Mr. Shibata said that his wife would visit her [best friend]'s house every once in a while and stay overnight there, usually in the evening. I went out and didn’t go home until noon the next day.”

"And today also happens to be the day when the lady goes to [my best friend]'s house. Isn't this exactly what Mr. Shibata and uncle said?"

"In the end, Mr. Shibata called just after noon. He should know that uncle hasn't started the investigation at this time, right? Why did he call to ask about your entrustment?"

"Moreover, Mr. Shibata said that he is an employee of a small company, and it is during working hours. Why would he choose this time to call his uncle to ask about a commission that involves his privacy?"

"Uncle, your excuse for leaving was very perfunctory! Even Sister Xiaolan realized something was wrong at once. She was afraid that you would go undercover in some bandit group like last time, so she asked me to follow Come and take a look.”

Mouri Kogoro's eyebrows twitched and he stared at Conan with a somewhat unkind look: "Then you followed me here and eavesdropped on my phone calls, right?"

Taniki

Conan shrugged: "There's nothing I can do about it. If I listen openly, I won't be able to know what my uncle wants to do when he lies?"

Mouri Kogoro narrowed his eyes: "So, do you know now?"

Conan nodded solemnly: "Uncle, you must have come here specifically to make this call, right? I saw that uncle's pace when he left the alley just now was obviously much more relaxed than when he went in. He probably didn't receive any dangerous errands again."

"Besides, my uncle seemed to be planning to walk outside the Fifth Chome just now, right? Do you want to find a place to kill some time before returning to the office?"

Mouri Kogoro's expression froze slightly, and then he snorted: "You brat are still as annoying as ever!"

Conan's smile suddenly became a little helpless, and he raised his hand and touched his head: "I know this very well. Uncle, you have hit me on the head enough, right?"

Mouri Kogoro glared: "Isn't that why you're such a careless kid running around?"

"Yes, yes!" Conan didn't argue, as if what you said was right.

Mouri Kogoro waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead and do whatever you need to do. I'm going to work next. You go back and tell Xiaolan so that she doesn't have to worry!"

Conan nodded: "Of course I will go back and tell Sister Xiaolan."

After a pause, he raised his head slightly and looked directly into Mouri Kogoro's eyes, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes: "But uncle, when you were on the phone just now, you seemed to have mentioned [gin] and [vodka]. A word, right?”

Mouri Kogoro waved his hand: "What gin and vodka? You must have heard wrong!"

Conan said "ha": "Uncle should know, right? If you don't understand at all, how can you be so decisive in denying it?"

Mouri Kogoro's expression froze again.

"This kid is really sharp..." Muttering in his heart, Mouri Kogoro put his hands on his hips and stared at Conan: "Where did you, the kid, learn these messy things?"

"I told you! I didn't mention gin and vodka at all just now! You little brat heard it wrong!"

"Really?" Conan smiled and suddenly stepped into the alley.

After walking a certain distance, he picked up a piece of chewing gum wrapped in a ball from the ground beside the wall.

Mouri Kogoro's eyebrows jumped, as if he realized something.

Conan broke open the candy ball in front of Mouri Kogoro and showed the bug wrapped in the candy ball.

"This is a micro-eavesdropping device invented by Dr. A Li. The effect is quite good. With the distance between the gum ball and uncle where you just talked on the phone, it is not difficult to hear something. In addition..."

He took out his mobile phone from his arms: "What the eavesdropper heard has also been recorded simultaneously on the mobile phone. After that, I will go to Sister Mengyu to help me deal with it. I should be able to hear my uncle's voice clearly."

Following Conan's words and actions, Mouri Kogoro's expression changed again and again, and finally his whole face seemed to be covered with a layer of haze.

He took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became as sharp as an eagle, no longer as casual and casual as usual.

"What...what do you want to do?" he asked in a cold voice.
