At eight o'clock in the evening, Toru Amuro finally replied:
The organization's mission failed, I am investigating.
Conan Edogawa's mood instantly rose. The organization's mission failed, which meant that they didn't get the potion either. This was good news, but they were investigating? It seemed that Mr. Amuro and his team didn't get it either.
Thinking of the fifth personality that appeared during this period, could it be them?
The next day, Conan, with a little dark blue under his eyes, yawned and followed behind Mao Lilan. The next place they were going to was the tidal lake. It was said that the cherry blossoms there were now blooming beautifully. In addition, there were many monuments around the lake, which could be visited.
Dr. Agasa also came along. He and Mao Li Kogoro walked in front and chatted.
"There are actually homeless people here. It's so pitiful to be alone in this quiet and cold corner." Mao Lilan looked at the night watchman huddled in a ball not far away with sympathy in her eyes.
Conan followed the gaze and observed for a while before saying:
"Sister Ran, he might be doing well."
"Huh? Why do you say that?" Mao Li Ran was surprised, and Kitagawa Anshu raised her eyebrows:
[Dog-headed Detective (Cowboy): Conan thinks you are doing well. By the way, you can't really be a homeless person all the time, right?
American Homeless Man (Night Watchman): Of course, I usually only wander during the day, and I can be as happy as I want at night. My current wealth can be said to surpass most American citizens.
Dog-headed Detective (Cowboy): Is being a homeless person so profitable?
American Homeless Man (Night Watchman): What are you thinking? Most homeless people can't do what I do. Of course, I still rely on the help of my classmates to be where I am today. 】
Conan first pointed at the night watchman's shoes: "This pair of shoes looks tattered, but it is deliberately designed like this. It is sold at a very high price." Then he put his hand on his chin,
"Look at his exposed skin, it is white and clean, and his hair is fluffy and stylish. He doesn't look like a homeless person at all, but rather like a person with a quirky personality who comes out to do performance art."
"Ahaha, Brother Beichuan, am I right?" Conan added.
Beichuan Xingshu nodded: "That makes sense."
Conan's voice was not small, and the night watchman heard it. He said: "What personality quirk? Don't insult people's innocence out of thin air. I picked up these shoes from the trash can in the rich community. My skin is white because I love cleanliness, and my hair is like this naturally. How can I not be a homeless person!"
Conan was choked for a moment, and then said: "Then how do you explain the holes in your clothes? Their edges are very neat, obviously they were deliberately cut out."
The night watchman avoided the question: "What's your name?"
"Edogawa Conan, what's the problem?" Conan didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question.
"With such a fake name, you are not hiding your true identity, are you?" The night watchman looked like you don't want to fool me.
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Conan's forehead. Just as he was about to argue, Maori Kogoro and his group came over and said, "I say, why did you suddenly stop here? Don't waste time."
Dr. Agasa also smiled and said, "If you don't hurry up, you will have to queue up."
"Sorry, it took a while. Let's go first." Maori Ran spoke faster and seemed a little nervous.
After Conan said "No," he was pulled away by Maori Ran.
Kitagawa Apricot Tree looked at the backs of the two figures, one big and one small, thinking.
In March and April, the cherry blossoms in the tidal lake are in full bloom. They are unique against the backdrop of the Jefferson Memorial. Maori and his group took pictures near the Washington Monument and other places.
During this period, a woman attracted their attention.
She was wearing a light pink long skirt with a pattern of cherry blossom petals embroidered on the hem. The long sleeves were over the wrists and slightly loose. She was tied with a thin belt of the same color around her waist, which was decorated with a small golden cherry blossom-shaped tower buckle.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is her face. She has a very charming appearance, soft facial features, and a pair of narrow and charming eyes that are half-closed, which is very fascinating.
There are also several butterflies around her.
Maori Kogoro wanted to chat with her, but he stopped thinking after seeing her bodyguards nearby.
"She is really beautiful..." Maori Ran's face gradually turned red. She felt that the other party was hard to resist in terms of temperament, figure and appearance.
"Oh, it would be great if I could get to know this beautiful lady." Maori Kogoro's face was full of loneliness and regret.
Conan also thought she was very beautiful, but he was more concerned about butterflies. There were still few butterflies in the current climate, but there were several around her. Did she spray perfume that could attract butterflies?
[Dog-headed Detective (Cowboy): Red Butterfly? How did you...Also here?
Officer's daughter (Red Butterfly): I came here to relax. Being an officer's daughter is not good. My every move is watched. I can't find a chance to help you with the mission.
Dog-headed detective (Cowboy): It's okay. Don't think too much. Enjoy it while you have the bonus of your status.
Officer's daughter (Red Butterfly): I still prefer the days of eating spicy hot pot and drinking milk tea with my sisters [crying]. Many high-end ingredients in Japan are raw. I can't get used to it at all. Even when I travel to the United States, the food in those large restaurants is not to my taste.
Dog-headed detective (Cowboy): When I get home, I can eat whatever I want!
Officer's daughter (Red Butterfly): Good Ծ‸Ծ】
"Ah-there is a body! Someone is dead!" A man screamed, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably. He used his hands and feet to crawl back.
"There is a body in the lake!"
A few brave people went forward to see, and there was really a body hanging in the lake, about three meters from the shore.
Conan ran over like a shark smelling blood, followed by Kitagawa Apricot Tree, and Mao Lilan called the police skillfully.
Before the police came, Conan decided to see if there were any clues on the shore.
There were many footprints on the shore, and it was difficult to determine how the deceased fell into the lake, and the specific location of the lake was uncertain. No suspicious traces were found around for the time being.
As soon as Mao Li Kogoro came over, he saw a badge at the feet of a traveler. He patted the man and asked: "Is this your badge?"
"Ah, it's not mine."
Mao Li Kogoro picked it up and saw that the center of the badge was prominently engraved with the unique logo of the Japanese officer family. The main body of the logo was an eagle with its wings spread out, holding a sharp samurai sword tightly in its claws. Around it, there was a circle of exquisite cherry blossom patterns, and the stamens of the cherry blossoms were inlaid with several small gems, adding a sense of luxury to the badge.
The back of the badge is flat and smooth, engraved with the bodyguard's exclusive number and the name of his family, with neat and clear handwriting.
"Sir, I think the badge in your hand should belong to my bodyguard." Hongdie came over and introduced: "My name is Fujiwara Chizuru, and my father is Fujiwara Masao."
Fujiwara Masao! Maori Kogoro had seen the deeds of this senior army officer on the military channel, but he didn't expect to meet his daughter today, who is so beautiful.
Maori Kogoro shook off some thoughts in his mind and took another look at the back of the badge. The word Fujiwara was quite eye-catching:
"It seems that this is indeed your bodyguard's."
"Excuse me, sister, is there any missing bodyguard of yours?" Conan asked in a coquettish tone, and Fujiwara Chizuru nodded:
"Yes, why do you ask this, little brother?"
"Because someone died in the lake, and another badge was found here, maybe it is the dead person."
"It's very likely, little detective." Fujiwara Chizuru touched Conan's head and thought: I am also a woman who touched the head of the god of death. It feels really good. Will he grow taller if I touch him more?
Because she was close, Conan smelled the fragrance of flowers on the other person at once: Is this why butterflies fly around her?
Maori Kogoro said after listening to the conversation between the two: "Ms. Fujiwara, don't worry, I, Detective Maori, will definitely help you find the missing bodyguard!" When he mentioned the word Detective Maori, he deliberately emphasized his voice.
Chizuru Fujiwara pretended to be surprised: "Are you the sleeping Kogoro, the Maori detective who has become famous in the past year?"
"Yes, it's me." Maori Kogoro rarely looked serious, and he even adjusted his tie with his hands. His face was also serious, but the next second he stuck out his tongue and laughed:
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I'm so well-known, haha, it's me, yes, I'm the famous detective Maori Kogoro."
Conan turned his head away from his worthless appearance, Kitagawa Anju covered his face with his hands, Dr. Agasa laughed helplessly, Maori Ran was speechless: Here we go again...
Chizuru Fujiwara's expression was quite There is not much change, and people can't see what she is thinking. She said: "I have always been curious about one thing, that is, how Detective Maori solved the case while sleeping. If there is a chance today, I hope to see it and see if it is what I think..."
"Okay, wait and see my performance!" Maori Kogoro didn't hear the last sentence, but Conan next to Fujiwara Chizuru heard it, and he subconsciously whispered:
"What is your sister thinking? Can you tell me?"
Fujiwara Chizuru raised the corner of her mouth: "I suspect someone is helping him solve the case behind the scenes."
No way, did she know something? Conan felt that her eyes looking at him were not right: "Is... is it?"
"Of course, today I will try to uncover the truth."
ConanNan: I will definitely not use my uncle to solve the case today! At the same time, I have to act like a normal child. What do normal children do when they encounter a case?
Recalling the real kids in the Junior Detective Team, they are all very bold, so I just need to be a little more stupid, ugh, naive.
When the police arrived at the scene, the first thing they did was to use a cordon to surround the area around the body to prevent unrelated people from entering and destroying the evidence at the scene.
Then the professionals salvaged the body, and criminal investigators and forensic teams also arrived one after another. They initially examined the appearance characteristics of the body at the scene.
At the same time, the investigators began to search and take pictures of the lakeside. To ensure that the search was thorough, the police also called in divers to search the bottom of the lake to see if they could find the murder weapon or other clues.
"Hello, I am a detective and have solved many cases. Can I participate in the investigation of this case?" Maori Kogoro approached the cordon and asked a police officer.
"Sorry, unrelated people please don't come near here." The police officer saw that he looked like an Asian and his expression was very disdainful.
Maori Kogoro's forehead was covered with a cross: "Please be respectful, or I will file a complaint against you for alleged discrimination!"
The police officer rolled his eyes. Complaint? He was not afraid. Less than 3% of American police officers were successfully punished after being complained. For someone like him, as long as he insisted that he did not discriminate, nothing would happen.
"You!" Maori Kogoro felt quite aggrieved, but he had no other way to "punish" the other party for the time being.
