The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

“Sorry, sorry, I’m really sorry just now…”

“Really, how could someone bend over to pick up trash and get hit by someone else’s dog, and then lose balance and almost fall out of the road…” Suzuki Sonoko readjusted her headband and hugged her arms to complain, “Should I say you’re really unlucky, or should I say your body is too uncoordinated…”

“Ah, well…” The boy with a pair of big round-framed glasses on his face smiled bitterly, “Anyway, thank you, if I hadn’t hit you, I might have really fallen out of the road. That situation just now was dangerous.”

When he rushed over, the pedestrian traffic light was still red, and that’s why several people stopped by the roadside to wait. It’s hard to fall out of the pedestrian traffic without getting into a car accident at this time.

"I'm the type of person who, if I accidentally drop a piece of bread, will 100% turn the buttered side down. However, I'm also physically..." He raised his head and looked carefully at the faces of Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran, and suddenly his expression changed, "Hey, you look familiar, have we met somewhere before?"

Conan, who was also dizzy, glanced at him.

This way of chatting up is not a question of whether it is old-fashioned or not, who would talk like this...

"Oh, yes, I have indeed seen you!" Hondou Eisuke nodded suddenly, "You are the daughter of Detective Mao Li Kogoro, right? Although I haven't seen you formally interviewed or anything, I often see you in reports..."

"Huh? Can you recognize her?" Mao Li Ran pointed at herself in surprise.

As Mao Li Kogoro's fame rose, people who knew Mao Li Ran knew her family background, but it was rare for someone to recognize her face alone when her father was not around.

"Of course, you are so beautiful, it is very impressive." Hondou Eisuke laughed, "Besides, Detective Maori Kogoro is the detective I admire the most. I have read a lot of his reports."

Speaking of this, he seemed to react and looked at the three people standing together: "So, you are also in the second grade B group?"

"You are..." Tang Ze, who knew his purpose very well, raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly.

Hondou Eisuke smiled with his eyes bent.

When he smiled like this, Conan narrowed his eyes.

It was because of his excessive attention to Maori Ran and because of his current face.

When Hondou Eisuke's eyes curved because of the smile, the childishness on his face would dissipate a lot as his round and bright eyes narrowed, and the genetic characteristics that were very similar to Mizunashi Rena were exposed.

"Hello, my name is Hondou Eisuke, I just transferred to Teitan today. From now on, I will be your classmate!"

————

"Well, so, this guy actually chose our class for Xiaolan."

Seeing Hondou Eisuke being led in by the class teacher, standing awkwardly behind the podium to introduce himself like Tangze who just transferred in, Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly leaned back and said this to Tangze.

"Yeah, I saw him asking questions to Ran all the way." Tangze nodded without comment.

"Well, I have to say, the means are quite clever." Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin and muttered softly, "I admire the other person's father, and the other person's father is a celebrity, which is indeed a very convincing excuse..."

"Sonoko, you don't think..." Tangze curled his lips as he remembered something interesting.

The real purpose of Hondou Eisuke coming to Beika Town must not be such a superficial reason, mainly because Tangze remembered how this guy stripped Conan's vest.

The sentence "I like Mao Li Ran" directly broke Conan's defense, which was a flat attack that used all the skills and ultimates of the opponent.

"What else?" Suzuki Sonoko stared at Hondou Eisuke on the stage with a scrutinizing look, "Just because you want to get some good luck? Is there really anyone who would make such a hasty decision? And although Uncle Mao Li is a bit outrageous, he is indeed a capable detective. This is not based on luck, right?"

"Well-" Tang Ze dragged out the tone and did not respond to her words immediately.

How to say it, although the reason is indeed made up nonsense, if you look closely, it is indeed a bit weird to say that a detective can become famous because of good luck, but Hondou Eisuke's words are really right.

If you want to get some luck, especially if you want to get some luck like Mao Li Kogoro, fame and fortune will fall from the sky, you really found the right person to find Mao Li Ran.

"——I hope to get along well with everyone in the future!"

While the two of them were whispering, Hondou Eisuke on the stage had already finished his self-introduction with a smile on his face, and after the homeroom teacher said that he could choose any empty seat, he walked back almost without a pause and sat down next to Tang Ze.

Tang Ze turned his head and saw Hondou Eisuke's smiling face.

"I secretly heard what you were saying just now." Hondou Eisuke did not show any shyness like a stranger who transferred to school on the first day. He leaned over and answered in a low voice, "It sounds a bit strange, um, but you will know in the future."

Before the teacher's eyes shifted, he turned around and put his stationery on the table.

"Some people are indeed destined not to be so smooth from birth."

————

"Huh? A high school student who looks like Mizunashi Rena?" Maori Kogoro lowered the newspaper and sat up a little straighter when he heard Maori Ran say this, "Do you admire me very much?"

"Yes. He recognized me at a glance. It seems that he has indeed read a lot of your reports." Mao Lilan put the water glass in his hand, "He said he wanted to come to our place to have a look. I was thinking, Anyway, this is a detective agency. Regardless of whether he is my classmate or not, he is free to enter if he wants to, so I agreed. "

"The high school student who worships me instead of Akechi's kid, and he looks like Reina Mizuna..." Mouri Kogoro's waist suddenly straightened up, and it was obvious that he was not listening carefully to what she said next, "This is terrible It’s really rare.”

"I'm talking about dad." Mao Lilan glanced at him sideways, "You are also a celebrity now. It will not sound good if this word spreads."

Although it is indeed true.

The image of Kogoro Mouri is actually pretty good as a detective.

Maybe he may not be so handsome, but after all, he has good foundation. After all, why should a person with poor foundation give birth to a beautiful girl daughter? Because of genetic mutation, he has many years of training as a criminal police officer, and he is middle-aged. Although my body has declined due to laziness and unhealthy living habits, it is still in shape and deformed. I can still take Fei Yingli out for a candlelight dinner without being looked at strangely. In fact, it is in line with everyone's ideal of an ideal. A detective's imagination.

However, the image of Goro Akechi has been so popular recently.

The advantage of appearance, the glamorous background, the flawless business...

If given a choice, most people would still look forward to someone of a similar age. Among the underage group, Akechi Goro's popularity is already at its peak.

"Just telling the truth." Mouri Kogoro curled his lips, "You don't know what price the waiter downstairs, the one named Amuro, negotiated with that guy who was also a black man last time... Hey, I suddenly felt that there was someone The agent is also good. ”

For Mouri Kogoro, who makes a living as a private detective, he doesn't really care about such illusory things as fame. At most, he is a little bit sour when he sees that Goro Akechi can turn these resources into tangible commission fees.

The demand for detectives in Tokyo is still very high. Although he is considered a public figure, his income has increased a lot.

As for high school detectives, no matter how famous they are, Kudo Shinichi or Hattori Heiji, they cannot threaten consulting detectives like him. The two are not essentially the same route, so even if they are compared, he is not very special. .

But after learning from his daughter how Toru Amuro persuaded Hattori Heiji to cooperate with their agency's request to introduce new talents, participate in that variety show, and hear the clear price tag, he was really sad.

It's just a variety show, and there is no occasion for serious murders to occur.

Exposing a rookie's mistakes is a merit, but for 800,000 yen, this is too much merit...

"Hattori has worked hard as a detective for so long, and this is the only time he has earned money. Do you have to mind this?" Mao Lilan couldn't help laughing while listening to his ramble, "Your admirer will be here soon. , pay attention to your image, dad.”

She felt quite dumbfounded in her heart, but the smile on the corner of Mao Lilan's mouth was somewhat happy and peaceful.

In the past, Mouri Kogoro would rarely talk about such topics with his daughter, even when his income began to increase after he became famous.

Even though many things at home are left to his daughter to take care of, the real financial power is still in his own hands. Mao Lilan has nothing to say about his squandering.

Now, she could hear her father and herself complaining about work, colleagues and life. There was a certain atmosphere that had been missing for too long, and she could not suppress the corners of her mouth.

Just as Mouri Kogoro was about to say something, there was a regular knocking sound on the office door, followed by the sound of the door handle turning.

Mouri Kogoro, who was casually slumped in the sofa chair, suddenly sat up straight, propped up his chin with one hand, and flipped through the briefing book in front of him with the other hand. His voice became deep and deep at the same time.

"Xiaolan, could you please make me a cup of coffee? The coffee you didn't make seems to be unable to wake up my 'sleeping' brain cells..."

"……ha?"

"What are you doing, rehearsing a play?"

The corners of Conan's and Suzuki Sonoko's mouths kept twitching at the same frequency as they opened the door.

It’s not a matter of lack of image, Mouri Kogoro simply has an expression of wanting to show off written all over his face.

"What, why is it you?" Hearing the familiar voice, Mouri Kogoro looked up and saw their faces, and relaxed suddenly.

"What happened just now? What's wrong, a reporter came to the office to interview you today?" Suzuki Sonoko raised her eyebrows strangely.

"Don't mention it, he probably thought he had thought of a particularly good pun line just now, and it was very stylish." Conan put down his schoolbag and glanced at Mouri Kogoro with an expression that said he had seen through you.

"My classmate said he wanted to go home, so he couldn't come to visit in school uniform. It would be too informal." Mao Lilan slammed the coffee into his hand, "The coffee you want, Dad."

"It took me a long time, but it turned out to be you." Mouri Kogoro curled his lips, "Where is that little beauty?"

"Little beauty? Oh, let me tell you." Suzuki Sonoko's expression immediately turned contemptuous, "No wonder, if you knew he was a high school boy, you wouldn't be so enthusiastic."

"A man?" Mouri Kogoro's expression was completely broken, "I told you earlier, you kept saying that he looks like that host... Really, I even asked Akechi for advice..."

Conan put the water glass to his mouth and choked.

… I was thinking, the sudden change of expression just now looked strangely familiar…

“Didn’t you say before…”

“What do you know? Only by understanding your opponent and making continuous progress can you have the possibility of winning in the competition…”

“That…”

When the office was bustling, a voice came from the open door behind them.

“This way, is it the Maori Detective Agency?”

Feeling a reflexive tingling in his head, Conan took a step without thinking and moved out from the door.

Sure enough, the next moment, a figure fell headfirst into the door of the office and fell to the ground in a prostrate posture.

Conan, who had predicted in advance, still did not escape the disaster. He was hit on the back of his head by the opponent’s flying round-frame glasses. He covered his head and screamed in pain.

“Yes, sorry, I seem to have tripped over something just now…”

Hondou Eisuke, who appeared again in the same posture, fumbled on the ground in panic, and soon turned to Conan’s direction.

He kept saying, "This is the famous detective, right? Nice to meet you, Detective Maori! It's such an honor to meet you!"

Conan, holding his glasses in his hand, looked at the smiling expression on his face, and the eyelids that seemed to be squeezed together due to myopia, so he couldn't see the front clearly, but he felt the hair on his back stand up slightly.

This guy who looks very similar to Rena Mizunoshi, when he smiled so hard that his eyes couldn't be seen, the subtle temperament he revealed was really too similar to Rena Mizunoshi that he saw outside Goro Akechi's dressing room that day.

Theoretically, the real detective is not Maori Kogoro.

The current Maori Kogoro is at best a qualified private detective. The voice behind the sleeping Maori Kogoro, that is, Conan himself, supports the title of the detective.

Looking at him facing him, it doesn't look like a face that he mistakenly recognized simply because he couldn't see clearly, and Conan's mouth corners straightened.

Is this guy really not able to see clearly, or is he taking this opportunity to test something?
