Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing
Chapter 247: Haste makes waste
After dinner, Officer Nakamori once again came to Karasuma Manor in person and requested joint security.
Through the video, Hamura Shuichi saw Maori Kogoro, Amuro Toru and Conan following Officer Nakamori outside the manor gate, and pushed his glasses: "Officer Nakamori, actually Kid has already been here, there is no need for additional security."
"Already here once?" Amuro Toru pushed Officer Nakamori aside and moved closer to the camera. "How is Mr. Karasuma?"
Shuichi Hamura didn't know that the target of the warning letter was Karasuma Akimitsu. He just thought that the two of them just happened to meet in the bedroom on the top floor: "He is resting now. Karasuma Manor does not need any additional security assistance. Thank you for your kindness." This was a polite refusal.
Officer Nakamori pushed Amuro Toru away angrily and said to the camera: "You are just the housekeeper, right? For this kind of thing, please inform your head of the family first. There is no need for the police."
Hamura Hideichi frowned: "The master needs to rest and doesn't want you to disturb him."
"Need to rest? Is he not feeling well?" Conan jumped onto Officer Nakamori's back and asked in front of the camera.
Hamura Hideichi shook his head: "You don't need to worry about the family head's affairs, please go back."
Maori Kogoro stood behind him and scratched his ears with his fingers: "Well, you are so enthusiastic and they don't appreciate it. Why do you do this thankless work? I don't pay you any commission, and they don't need you even if you work hard."
Seeing that the video link at the door was disconnected, Officer Nakamori sighed, "There's nothing we can do. Recently, several big shots have been in trouble. One of them was a party cadre and committed suicide by leaving a suicide note. So when I saw you guys saying that Kidd's target might be Karasuma, I was worried and followed him to take a look."
Maori Kogoro turned around in surprise: "I didn't see the news."
"Because those who died were all important figures, and they were concentrated in such a large area, we are worried that it will cause social unrest." Officer Nakamori shook his head, "If something happens to Karasuma..."
"So your police force only sent you here? Doesn't this require notifying the First Investigation Division?" Kogoro Mouri asked in surprise.
"…But no one in the Karasuma family called the police, and Kid doesn't kill people."
"That's right, Kid doesn't kill anyone." Kogoro Mouri quickly calmed down and prepared to call Toru Amuro and Conan back.
But when he turned around, he found that both of them were gone: "Where are the kid and Amuro?!" Even though he had been told that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, Mouri Kogoro still maintained his previous habit and treated him as a little kid.
The phone rang and an email was received. Maori Kogoro was furious after reading it: "That brat is running around with others without permission again."
Toru Amuro and Conan hid aside and watched Officer Nakamori and Kogoro Mori leave before they walked back to the gate and rang the doorbell again.
Shuichi Hamura answered the video call, and as if he had known that the other two had already left, he asked directly: "Excuse me, Mr. Amuro, is there anything else?"
Amuro Toru lifted Conan up and shook him in front of the camera: "I brought Kidd's nemesis with me, let's go in and take a look. What do you mean Kidd has been here before?"
Shuichi Hamura hesitated, and Toru Amuro heard the sound of clothes rubbing against each other on the other end of the video. Shuichi Hamura lowered his voice and said something to the person, and the voice sounded again: "Okay, the head of the family agrees that you can come in, but your car cannot come in. Take the car we sent."
The gate opened automatically, and a stretched luxury car stopped at the door and picked up two people and drove inside. Passing through the woods and a large lawn that was too wide, Conan finally saw the main hall of a manor with an architectural style similar to that of the Dusk Villa.
The luxury car bypassed the huge fountain square in front of the main hall, passed through the English curved porch surrounded by flowers, and headed to the right fork. Under the light of the street lamps, various European statues and trellises on both sides of the road were submerged in various extremely colorful plants.
Although it's only January, the Phalaenopsis orchids and pansies are already in full bloom in every corner. Conan stared at them in amazement: "Ran will definitely like it when she sees it."
"This manor is obviously English in style..." Amuro Toru said softly, "The garden looks like it grew naturally, but the position of each plant is carefully designed to ensure that the colors are not monotonous and overlapping in every season. The shrubs and statues are also well combined... It's similar to the style of Dracula's villa."
The car stopped, the waiter opened the door, and led the two people onto a winding path. After walking more than 20 meters, the waiter stopped, told the two people to turn left and continue walking, then turned and left.
Even though the garden is brightly lit all the way at night, it still has a quiet and eerie feel.
Toru Amuro memorized the route as he walked.
Until I saw a white pavilion, inside which was Karasuma Akimitsu, wearing a dark blue men's kimono and a black long-haired cloak. He was standing in the pavilion, looking up at the moon in the sky in a daze.
Hearing someone coming, Karasuma Akimitsu turned around, looked at the two of them and smiled softly.
"Mr. Karasuma." Conan greeted him obediently.
Karasuma Akimitsu looked at Conan and nodded, but when he looked at Amuro Toru, he frowned: "Bourbon?"
"...Mr. Karasuma, I was impulsive in the parking lot. My name is Toru Amuro." Toru Amuro pointed at Conan and smiled, "I heard that Kid sent you a warning letter. This kid is called Kid's nemesis. I want to bring him here to protect you."
Conan said in a childish tone: "Mr. Karasuma, the crow's eyes point to Karasuma, the light under the Xuanyue points to the light, and what Kid wants is not the gem, but you."
"I know." Karasuma Akimitsu's voice was gentle and calm.
"You know?" Conan was surprised.
Karasuma Akimitsu took out the huge black diamond of Midnight Jackdaw from his sleeve and handed it to Conan: "Since you are Kidd's nemesis, please help me return this Midnight Jackdaw."
"Midnight Jackdaw?! The one that was stolen yesterday?" Conan was surprised again, "Did Kid really come here?"
"Yes, he just came to see me, and then gave me this diamond, and told me to remember to return the diamond after seeing it." Karasuma Akimitsu saw Conan took the diamond, and gathered his cloak with his hands, wrapping himself up, "I don't quite understand why he came to see me, but he said that we are destined to be together."
"Destined?"
"Yes, my birthday is April 4nd, and wasn't Kidd's original name Kaito 2?" Karasuma Akimitsu smiled and said, "This diamond is indeed precious, but it is not particularly special in my collection room. However, the name is really to my liking."
"…and Hikaru's birthday are the same day." Conan stared at Midnight Jackdaw and muttered to himself.
"Mr. Karasuma, have you grown up in this manor? It looks very big." Toru Amuro suddenly asked.
"No, I lived in Hokkaido when I was a kid." Karasuma Akimitsu shook his head and looked at the moon in the sky. The light from the pavilion shone on his face, and the shadows from his eyelashes covered the color of his pupils. "Midnight Jackdaw has been given to you. Kidd has also been here. I will ask someone to send you away."
Amuro Toru suddenly remembered with regret that Nagai Hikaru was inexplicably wary of his information. He was disgusted by his asking too many questions in the beginning, and the question he just asked was too direct.
"Mr. Karasuma." Conan looked up hurriedly and said in a sweet childish voice, "I'm sorry, this place is too big. I need to go to the bathroom. Where can I go to the bathroom?"
"I'll have someone take you there in a while. You wait here for a while. The person who just sent you here will come to pick you up soon." Karasuma Akimitsu turned around and was about to leave in another direction.
Conan moved closer unwillingly and raised his hand to grab the hand that Karasuma Akimitsu had just revealed when he turned around.
At the moment of contact, Karasuma Akimitsu suddenly shook Conan's hand away, and when he looked down, his eyes were full of undisguised disgust and disdain. That was a look Conan had never seen in Nagai Hikaru, or rather, he had never been looked at in that way by Nagai Hikaru.
Conan stood there in a daze.
Karasuma Akimitsu seemed to have just acted reflexively, and now he put on a gentle mask on his face again: "Excuse me, I am a little sensitive to the touch of strangers. Please wait here with Mr. Amuro for a while, and the person who comes to pick you up will take you to the toilet."
After saying that, he pulled his cloak down, quickened his pace and left.
Toru Amuro walked over to the dazed Conan, bent down and said, "It's okay, Xiaoguang may just have lost his memory, just like Xiaolan, he doesn't really hate you."
"...The fortune from the shrine, mine is number twenty-three." Conan clenched the black diamond tightly, "Even if there is temporary success, there will be a time when the fate ends... I never believe in fate..."
"Drawing lots is like that." Amuro Toru smiled, "My lot is still lucky in the 15th lot." Then he remembered the words on the lot: We all live at the foot of Inari Mountain, and we only pray for a prosperous and peaceful world. This lot indicates that if you lose enthusiasm for your work, something ominous will happen, so be careful not to go astray.
And the fate column says: Haste makes waste.
Recalling this, and remembering the question he had just asked in a hurry, Amuro Toru raised his hand and pressed his forehead: "How about we go to Fushimi Inari Taisha again?"
Conan twitched his lips: "What's the point?"
"It's been so long, maybe there will be a new destiny?" Amuro Toru touched Conan's head, "Don't be discouraged so quickly, even if you have no memories, human nature will not change so easily. Just like Himimiyuki now."
"...No, Miyuki likes Haibara very much now. She has the best relationship with Ayumi, followed by Genta and the others." Conan bumped his head against the Midnight Jackdaw Gemstone Plane, "Among the few people, I talk to her the least."
"..." Amuro Toru patted Conan's shoulder helplessly and began to think about his job. Oh, yes, a few days ago he was inexplicably promoted from Inspector to Superintendent. You have to know that according to the Japanese custom of seniority, even in the special examination team, you have to be around 35 years old, and in ordinary places, you have to be 55 years old.
But recently there have been several major changes in the top management, and the position of investigator was vacant in the public security top management. As the head of Team Zero, he took over the position directly and became a superintendent.
Thinking of this, Amuro Toru pressed his forehead with a headache and said, "I'll take you to give this diamond to Officer Nakamori later. Don't be too depressed."
