My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 21 N Reasons Not to Buy a Car

"It's getting late. I'll leave the rest to Takagi and the others. You should go home and rest early." Megure Police Department said.

Qingmu Song heard this and said with a smile: "Then I would be disrespectful."

This is not a special look and special care from the police department. After all, as a Career team, the Metropolitan Police Department positions it as a leader, and its job is to guide and organize the work of ordinary police officers, and to finish the trivial matters after solving the case.

How could you let the leader do it?

Of course, leaders must also be familiar with this aspect. They do not need to do it themselves, but they must know how to do it.

After speaking, Aoki Song looked at the Maori family on the side and asked with a smile: "Uncle Maori, I drove here, do you need me to give you a lift?"

"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you." Mouri Kogoro rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Just in time, I haven't been to your shop for a drink for several days. Xiaolan, why don't we have oden tonight?"

"Okay!" Mao Lilan thought for a while and agreed. She was shocked when she saw the murder case. Although the case was solved now and it was proven that it was not caused by ghosts or something like that, she still felt bad.

If you're in a bad mood, don't want to work, and don't have the motivation to cook, then going to a restaurant to eat ready-made food is a good choice.

After saying hello to the Megure Police Department, Aokimatsu led Mouri Kogoro and his family towards the parking lot.

As they walked, Mouri Kogoro said with a smile: "I have heard that you bought a car a long time ago, but this is the first time I ride in your car."

"It is more convenient to have your own car when going to the police. By the way, uncle, I have always wanted to ask you. With your income, you are fully capable of buying a car. I remember you had a car before. Why now?

Don’t you want to buy a car? It’s much more convenient to travel on a daily basis.” Aoki Song asked, revealing the doubts he had had for two lifetimes.

Especially after the Mori family took Conan into foster care, the commissions came one after another. It was really not difficult to buy and finance a car with Mori Kogoro's income.

Drink less wine and save money on gas.

Mouri Kogoro smiled awkwardly when he heard this and said nothing.

However, when Mao Lilan heard this, she asked with some confusion: "Dad also had a car before?"

Aoki Song nodded, "Yes, I remember that Uncle Mouri was still a criminal at that time, but after you moved to Yoneka Town 5-chome, I never saw Uncle Mouri driving a car."

"Oh..." Mao Lilan also looked at Mao Li Kogoro doubtfully after hearing this, "Dad, why is this!"

Mouri Kogoro was dumbfounded by Mao Lilan and said angrily: "There's no reason, it's just that we don't use it much anymore, and our house doesn't have a parking space. The money to rent a parking space a month is enough for me to drink several boxes of beer."

I stopped using it, so I just take a taxi or rent a car if I have something to do occasionally, which is more convenient, saves trouble and saves money."

After Aoki Song and Conan heard this, they thought in their hearts "I'm afraid it's because I want to drink a few more boxes of beer, so I didn't buy a car."

"What's the reason!" Mao Lilan said speechlessly.

Seeing that none of the three people believed his reason, Mouri Kogoro laughed, and then said with a serious face: "Haha, actually I don't buy a car because I want to better complete the commissioned work. You know that in our detective business,

In fact, the vast majority of commissions are to investigate others, which is called 'follow-up investigation'.

The most critical factor when investigating others is to hide yourself and not be discovered by the other party. Suppose I buy a car, there will be a fixed license plate number, fixed model and color, etc. that can reveal my identity.

In this case, if I were to follow and investigate someone else, as a famous detective with a good reputation, the other party might pass my car and realize that I am nearby before I arrive. This is very important for my job.

Extremely disadvantageous.

In addition, those who work in my field are also vulnerable to retaliation from certain criminals or people whose interests have been harmed. If I have a fixed car, it will make it easier for the other party to retaliate.

When renting a car, the risk is greatly reduced. After all, the randomly selected car model and car number can minimize the chance of exposure while working, and it is not easy for someone with ulterior motives to take advantage of you for revenge."

After what Mouri Kogoro said, both Aokisong and Conan were impressed by him. He said it was so reasonable and well-founded.

Fortunately for Aoki Song, after all, he knew that once Kogoro Mouri encountered a case related to his relatives and friends, his mind would spin very fast, as if he was possessed by Sherlock Holmes, and sometimes even Conan couldn't compare.

After all, Conan has decades less social experience than Mouri Kogoro. Some knowledge can never be learned in books and must be experienced personally in society.

Therefore, in his previous life, many people thought that Mouri Kogoro was just pretending to be stupid. In fact, he knew everything, including the fact that Conan was Kudo Shinichi.

Therefore, Aoki Song was mentally prepared for the smart and wise side of Mouri Kogoro and accepted it well.

After all, he has been doing this job for ten years. It is normal for Kogoro Mouri to have this opinion.

When Kudo Shinichi had just become Conan and had not yet "relyed" on Conan to solve the case, Mouri Kogoro was able to receive a request. In the midst of the Neon Economic Depression, he was still able to raise 300 million yen in one hour.

The boss of Cash has an important entrustment related to the life and death of his daughter.

This is enough to show that Mouri Kogoro was not doing badly before Conan arrived. He just did not become a famous detective in Neon, but he was still very famous in the small circle.

But for Conan, it was a bit unexpected, and he couldn't help but glance at Kogoro Mouri [I really didn't expect Uncle Mouri to say such wise words].

"My knowledge is shallow. Thank you Uncle Maori for clarifying my doubts. I will treat you to a drink later." Aoki Song said with a learned expression on his face.

Seeing this, Mouri Kogoro laughed very proudly, "Hahaha~ Aoki boy, I want to have a good drink."

"Dad, you can only have one glass of wine!" Mao Lilan said in a very disgraceful voice from the side.

"How can one glass of wine be enough?" Mouri Kogoro retorted subconsciously.

Hearing this, Mao Lilan clenched his fists and said with threats in his eyes: "Why isn't one glass of wine not enough?"

"Uh..." Mouri Kogoro trembled when he saw this, and quickly said with a hint of begging for mercy: "That's enough, a glass of wine is enough." After saying that, he quickly walked forward a few steps, and then urged:

"Aoki boy, walk faster."

"Okay!" Qingmu Song obeyed and speeded up his steps.

Just like that, he and Ran Conan were far away from each other, and then he saw Kogoro Mouri taking advantage of this opportunity to approach Aoki Song and whisper: "Remember to ask your grandpa to give me the biggest one."

Wine glass."

Hearing this, Aoki Song almost couldn't help but laugh, but he still held it back tenaciously. Looking at Moori Kogoro's expectant eyes, he nodded and said, "I will."
