Conan: Another Famous Detective

A few days have passed since the new case was released from the hospital.

Everything has been normal these days, but Conan did like to bring a sweater.

When Xiaolan called him and told him that she [bought] a sweater for herself, he was a little confused at the time.

However, when he received the sweater and saw the obviously immature stitching on it, he immediately concluded that it was definitely impossible to buy.

Looking at the pattern on the sweater again, and recalling Xiaolan's strange behavior when she was newly discharged from the hospital, combined with the words of Mengyu, Conan immediately figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

After understanding everything, it would be a lie to say he was not moved. Now he wished he could immediately transform back into Kudo Shinichi and put on the sweater Xiaolan knitted for himself.

However, he himself knew that this was impossible.

Therefore, he could only give the sweater to Meng Yu and told Meng Yu to keep it well. At the same time, he also had to think about what kind of return gift would be better for Xiaolan.

Finally, at Mengyu's suggestion, Conan went to Ginza to pick out a red dress for Xiaolan.

Just today, Conan secretly placed the wrapped dress at the door of the office while no one was around.

Just as he was putting down his dress, footsteps suddenly came from inside the door.

Conan's expression changed and he quickly ran downstairs.

Click!

The door of the office was opened, revealing Xiaolan's figure.

She turned her eyes slightly, just in time to see Conan's back disappearing at the top of the stairs.

"What's wrong with Conan now...Eh? What is this?"

Xiaolan found that her feet seemed to have touched something. When she lowered her head and looked down, she saw the dress with a note on it.

Xiaolan's eyes widened slightly!

The notes on the note were all too familiar to her!

She quickly picked up the dress and looked at the note:

[Thank you for your sweater. It is very comfortable to wear. I heard from Conan that you particularly liked this dress when you went shopping last time. This is my return gift - Shinichi]

Xiaolan looked at the familiar handwriting on the note, and at the dress under the note that she particularly liked last time she went shopping. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and a blush crept up on her pretty face.

"This guy is really, this skirt is very expensive!" Xiaolan muttered.

However, there is no hint of complaint in the happy expression on her face?

Xiaolan hugged the dress tightly and was about to return to the office to try it on. When she glanced at it, she saw something else at her feet.

"Eh? This is...a mobile phone?"

There was a mobile phone lying on the ground!

Xiaolan looked at the phone, thought for a while, and smiled: "The dress must have been sent by Conan. He must have left this phone behind when he ran too fast, right? Give it back to him when he comes back later!"

Xiaolan said, frowning slightly: "Shinichi is serious, why should Conan give a dress? Can't he come over by himself? I haven't seen him since his last birthday..."

Xiaolan sighed softly and walked into the office with her dress and mobile phone.

Xiaolan casually put the phone on the desk in the office, hesitated for a while, and finally took out the phone firmly.

"No matter what, I still have to thank him properly..."

She murmured softly, skillfully scrolling to Shinichi's number and pressing the speed dial button.

A cell phone ringtone suddenly rang in the office...

…………

Hanomiya Detective Agency.

After collecting the 300,000 yuan commission fee given by the client just now, Yu Gongming was about to pick up a book to pass the time.

However, just as he opened the book, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

The door opened, and a man in his thirties, wearing a neat suit and a mustache walked in.

"Detective Hanomiya, long time no see." The man greeted Hanomiya Akira who was sitting behind his desk.

When Han Gongming saw the person coming, he immediately stood up and said with surprise: "Officer Zhongmori? Why are you here?"

The visitor was none other than Nakamori Ginzo, a member of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Investigation Section 2.

The two came to the guest sofa and sat down. Akira Hanomiya poured a cup of tea for Officer Zhongmori: "Are you here on a private commission or..."

"Oh! That's it..." Officer Nakamori said, taking out a document from his briefcase and handing it to Akira Hanomiya.

Yu Gongming took the document doubtfully and began to browse quickly.

Looking at the content above, Yu Gongming raised his eyebrows slightly.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Officer Nakamori: "The police want to hire me to protect the Suzuki Foundation's Egg of Memory that will be exhibited in Osaka?"

Officer Nakamori nodded: "Yes, Kaitou Kidd has sent a warning letter, targeting this Egg of Memory. At the request of the Suzuki Foundation, our police will jointly investigate with two famous detectives, Detective Hanomiya and Detective Mori. this case."

"Sure enough, it's the theatrical version..." Yu Gongming muttered in his heart, and asked with an unchanging expression on his face:

"Oh? You also invited Uncle Maori?"

"Yes! This was personally instructed by Inspector Chaki." Officer Zhongmori directly carried his boss out.

Seeing Officer Zhongmori's business-like appearance, Hanamiya Akira felt very clear.

From the police's point of view, they are actually unwilling to ask detectives to intervene in this matter. After all, if they ask detectives for help when encountering a major case, it will appear that the police are somewhat incompetent.

Normally, famous detectives such as Mouri Kogoro and Hanomiya Akira help solve cases. At least it happened to be the right time. The police did not actively invite them, so this can be a roundup to the outside world.

But once you take the initiative to invite, the nature is different.

However, Hanamiya Akira probably guessed some clues from what Officer Nakamori said.

I am afraid that the Suzuki Consortium is not confident in the police's ability, so they asked for the help of two famous detectives.

After all, it was the two detectives Akira Hanomiya and Conan who really played a role in the Dark Star incident last time.

And now that Officer Nakamori came to the door with this document, he was probably also under pressure from the Suzuki Consortium.

After sorting out the cause and effect, Yu Gongming glanced at the column about employment fees at the bottom of the document:

【Twenty million yuan】

Yu Gongming's glasses lit up, the price is not low!

However, he estimated that the money was also provided by the Suzuki Consortium, and the police were rarely so generous.

He pretended to hesitate for a while and nodded: "No problem, I am willing to help the police protect the Egg of Memory. If conditions permit, I will also help catch Kaitou Kidd!"

Upon seeing this, Officer Zhongmori nodded slightly and said, "Then Detective Hanomiya will confirm the document again. If there is no problem, just sign it."

Yu Gongming confirmed the document again. After seeing that there was no problem, he signed his name.

There were two copies of the document, one was kept by Akira Hanomiya, and the other was recovered by Officer Nakamori.

He took out another A4 piece of paper from his briefcase and handed it to Akira Hanomiya: "This is a copy of the notice letter. Detective Hanomiya can study it carefully. If you have any clues, please contact me as soon as possible."

Yu Gongming took the code and didn't rush to check it. He nodded slightly and said: "Okay."

Officer Nakamori stood up: "Our police will hold a press conference in two days. Detective Hanomiya must be present when the time comes."

"I will be there truthfully." Yu Gongming replied.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Nakamori Ginzo nodded to Hanomiya Akira and left the office.

"It seems that Officer Zhongmori is not very happy for our detectives to participate in the investigation..." Akira Hanomiya muttered in his heart, but he didn't take it seriously.

Anyway, he didn't have much interaction with the Zhongmori police officer, so it had no influence on him no matter how the other party viewed him.

When Kidd comes, he takes care of the entrustment and the money.

Yu Gongming put the document in the safe, and just as his butt touched the chair, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
