Conan: I've been linked to the tech tree system.

......

“Welcome to visit next time~”

After seeing the guests off, Amuro Tooru tidied up the dishes they had used and then pulled down the roller shutter at the entrance of the shop.

He walked into a small alley in front of the door, and after wandering around for a while, he soon saw his white Mazda RX-7 parked there.

Once he was in his car, he took out his cell phone, which he used to contact the Black Organization.

He opened the top email, which contained a report about Toru Tono.

Although the police worked hard to suppress the attention given to the wedding case that occurred that morning because it was related to Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the superintendent of the First Investigative Division, the media did not report on it extensively.

But there are always journalists who are "unafraid of the powerful and wealthy".

This is why, even though Amuro Tooru wasn't at the scene, he was able to glean bits and pieces of information about the case through his intelligence network, which he had cultivated over many years.

"A technology detective, huh..." Amuro Tooru nodded. He also felt that the detective industry had stagnated somewhat, and making some changes would be a good thing.

Moreover, judging from the content of this report, it seems that Toru Tono and Kiyonaga Matsumoto had some exchanges at the end.

Amuro Tooru quickly realized that the two were mostly talking about the inventions that Tohno Tooru had brought out during his investigations.

Amuro Tooru called his subordinate in the public security system, Kazami Yuya, and asked him to investigate the matter and, while he was at it, also investigate Tohno Tooru.

Kazami Yuya was very efficient. Within minutes, he sent the details of the morning's case, along with Tohru Tono's file, to his superior via email.

Amuro Tooru said "I understand" and hung up the phone.

He opened the newly received email, and what greeted his eyes was a close-up photo of Tohru Tono, whom he had just seen.

"Toru Tono, male, 20 years old, from Kyoto"

When she was 6 years old, her parents died unexpectedly, and she moved to live with relatives.

He demonstrated exceptional learning abilities while in school, but was forced to drop out of high school due to his inability to afford tuition.

After reaching adulthood, he worked for Shengtai Insurance and became the top salesperson in the first week.

He later resigned for unknown reasons and moved to Tokyo.

Amuro Tooru was surprised that Tohno Tooru's resume was so brief.

Despite demonstrating exceptional insight and logical reasoning skills in the case, he didn't even graduate from high school?

There were also inventions that piqued Matsumoto Kiyonaga's interest...

This is not something that can be achieved simply by saying "has an extremely strong learning ability".

...A genius? Interesting.

Amuro Tooru, being a patriotic young man, felt that since you were a genius, you should be used for the country's benefit.

He sent the information about Toru Tono directly to his superior as important intelligence, asking them to pay close attention to this person and recruit him as a police officer if the opportunity arose.

After thinking for a while, he picked up his phone and sent an email, instructing his intelligence network to remove the online report about Toru Tohno.

This kind of talent must not be discovered by the Black Organization.

......

Tohno Toru was naturally unaware that he had already attracted Amuro Toru's attention.

He returned home intending to rest immediately, but after sitting on the sofa for a moment and pondering, he reluctantly went into the underground laboratory.

Because he has been constantly selling his inventions on the black market recently, with the help of money, his basement, which was originally empty, has finally started to look like a laboratory.

Doing experiments here really gives you a bit of an inventor's feeling.

Everything is moving in the right direction.

but......

He sighed and stared at the pile of inventions on the table, looking troubled.

These are all things he created using his skills, and theoretically they are high-tech products that should fetch a good price.

But the problem is that most of them are completely useless!

Toru Tono pulls a pair of shoes from his pile of inventions: [Automatic Untying Shoelaces: Sneakers made with a special process. Using gravity sensors and AI algorithms, they accurately untie within 5 minutes of being tightened, ensuring users bend over more than 15 times a day.]

What's the use of this thing?

Tohno Toru was both amused and exasperated when he first created this thing.

Originally, I was planning to design a pair of shoes to wear, modeled after the soccer shoes that Professor Agasa made for Conan, but somehow this skill ended up with this unexpected thing.

Tohru Tono initially thought it was just a mistake and a coincidence that resulted in such a defective product.

Subsequent events proved that even with careful design of the invention's internal structure and meticulous determination of its working principles, the probability of such defective products was not low.

Schrödinger's Package: A package made with a special process. It contains a built-in quantum mechanics simulator and displays three states simultaneously when unopened: "Delivered/Not Shipped/Signed by Aliens."

[Anti-hair loss keycaps: Keycaps made with a special process. Each key has hand-woven artificial hair strands embedded on the back, which move in the wind when typing, pretending to type while also taking care of your scalp. Custom hair color is available.]

......

Whenever something like this appears, Toru Tono feels like he could just quit.

It's too bullying!!

Tohru Tohno felt that this might be related to his low skill level.

After all, the [Basic Modification] skill sounds very basic, so some limitations are to be expected.

But the problem is that he always felt that these unexpected inventions were deliberately made by someone with ill intentions.

Toru Tono reasonably suspects that it is the system's perverse sense of humor.

Chapter 14 Someone is plotting to assassinate me?

Maori Detective Agency.

"The murderer Tang Tian, ​​who was caught, escaped from prison last night..." Xiao Lan read the newspaper she had just retrieved from downstairs, her worry growing stronger.

"What should I do?"

"What?" Kogoro Mouri was busy reading the latest horse racing newspaper and didn't hear Ran's words clearly.

"Wouldn't it be terrible if Dad faced retaliation?"

"Revenge?" Conan, sitting opposite Ran, was also curious.

While it's not exactly news that a detective would be retaliated against by a murderer, this uncle is a third-rate detective who has done good deeds all his life, so why would anyone retaliate against him?

"Yes, didn't that Yuda threaten to take revenge on you, Dad, when he was arrested?"

Kogoro Mouri thought his daughter was making a mountain out of a molehill, so he put his hands behind his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, Ran, don't worry."

"Why do you look so nonchalant?" Ran got angry at Kogoro Mouri's carefree attitude. "It's you who's being punished, Dad!"

Conan chuckled awkwardly a few times.

It was he who used Kogoro Mouri's voice to deduce the truth and sent Yuta to prison.

If anyone's going to get revenge, it should probably be him.

"They finally escaped, they wouldn't risk being caught and staying to take revenge on me." Kogoro picked up his pen and pondered the horse race.

"That's true..." Xiaolan was still a little worried.

"Alright, I'm off to solve the case!" Kogoro Mouri decided on the horse race numbers for today's race, stood up, and laughed heartily.

"I want to go with you too!" Ran stood up. "How about Conan comes along too?"

"Huh?" *2

......

In the racetrack, Kogoro Mori shouted at the top of his lungs, hoping to gain the favor of the god of horse racing.

Xiao Lan, the unpaid bodyguard, stood aside with a stern face, observing everything around her and diligently protecting her elderly father.

Conan watched the horse race for a while, but didn't know what was so interesting about it; he just thought the place was noisy.

I'd better go buy them some iced cola.

On his way back with the Coke, he noticed a suspicious figure in the audience holding binoculars, seemingly looking at something.

Conan looked in the direction he was looking and spotted Kogoro Mouri's back.

! !

"Could it be that he is that Tang Tian?"

Conan turned around instantly, only to find that the person had vanished.

......

"It's all your fault! Lady Luck ran away." The typical Japanese middle-aged man, Kogoro Mouri, walked out the door dejectedly, trying to shift the blame for choosing the wrong horse race winner onto Conan.

"Don't try to shift the blame onto others, hey!" Conan was still pondering the suspicious figure when he heard this and glanced at Uncle Mori, mentally complaining.

"Huh, what's this?" Xiao Lan was on guard when she suddenly spotted a familiar figure on a bench by the overpass.

"Tono-san?" Ran was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar face and waved in that direction.

Conan watched Toru Tohno walk over and wondered why he seemed to be everywhere lately.

......

Tohru Tono was diligently conducting research in his basement laboratory that morning.

During his lunch break, while looking at the newly received orders, he suddenly remembered something.

Just last night, he had just informed the people in the black market that he was officially launching his private customization service when he received a special commission. The client asked him to make a special kind of silk thread as a weapon, and had also prepaid a considerable fee, saying that the sooner he received the item, the better.

Tohru Tohru didn't think too much about it and quickly made a reinforced aluminum-copper alloy wire. He even thoughtfully added an electric enchantment to it and then sent it out.

But the more he thought about it that night, the more uneasy he felt. He had a feeling that he had seen something like using silk threads as weapons somewhere before.

He racked his brains for a long time before finally remembering that there was an assassin in Detective Conan who used silk threads as weapons, and he almost killed Uncle Mori.

Tohru Tohno, on his deathbed, suddenly sat up and took a taxi to the racetrack he remembered.

If Xiaolan's father were to die because of me, that would be a real sin.
