Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Chapter 209: Maori Kogoro's Mental State

Michihiko Suwa probably never imagined until his death that his ruthlessness would lead him to the guillotine, and the busy tone of the phone he left for Takashi Matsuo was equivalent to the sound of his own death.

Time has returned to the present again. Kogoro Mouri and his group came to the recording site of the Nichimi TV program, chatting with each other in a lively and cheerful atmosphere.

After arriving at the scene, Kogoro Mouri began to look around, trying to find out which villain had the sign of imminent death written on his face.

"Brother Fujiwara, I've been observing for a long time, but I can't figure out who will be the one Conank kills today. How do you usually figure it out?"

Kogoro Mouri really observed everyone at the scene very carefully, and it didn't look like any staff member or audience member who came to participate in the recording of the program looked unlucky.

"Under normal circumstances, we don't need to dig for them. As long as they stay by Conan's side, those lucky ones and potential suspects will actively approach Conan.

We don’t have to go out of our way to find out; they will come to us and give us some context and corresponding hints.”

Fujiwara Hiroshi was not stingy at all and shared his experience with Maori Kogoro. In fact, it is very easy to observe these situations.

Of course, this is true in most cases, but the incident that is about to happen today is not the usual scenario where the victim does all kinds of bad things, offends people everywhere, and then is killed, and the suspect has to choose one of three options.

Today's question is a proof question, a cleverly designed method involving a single victim and a single suspect, which allows Conan to solve the proof question.

Moreover, the person who is about to become the victim is not at the recording site of the program. As the producer of the program, he is currently observing the atmosphere and effect of today's program recording behind the screen.

Therefore, even if Kogoro Mouri searched the entire scene, it was impossible for him to find the potential victim because the person was not in his sight at all.

"Is it so magical? Why haven't I noticed it?" Maori Kogoro blinked his eyes, obviously feeling that what Fujiwara Hiroshi said was too fantastic and didn't sound true at all.

"Of course, Brother Maori, if you think about it carefully, it's a particularly magical thing that those people were killed one after another by Conan.

So why should we be surprised by the situation I described? If you think something is impossible, it just means you haven't seen enough, not that it doesn't exist."

Fujiwara Hiroshi also began to explain science to Kogoro Mori in a serious manner.

The core of the conclusions that Fujiwara Hiroshi told Maori Kogoro is that when you have so many things that you can't understand, think about it as Conan, and everything should make sense.

"Really? So, Brother Fujiwara, have you figured out who the victim and suspect are at today's scene? Do you have any conclusions?"

Kogoro Mouri felt that he really couldn't think of anything anymore and could only rely on Fujiwara Hiroshi. He didn't want to think anymore and wanted to just copy the answer directly from Fujiwara Hiroshi.

"Brother Maori, I haven't found the potential victim so far today, so it's possible that the victim is not even on the current show."

Fujiwara Hiroshi remained calm and did not get crazy or impatient just because he did not find the victim.

"Brother Fujiwara, why do I feel like what you said is just a random guess? It doesn't seem to have any factual basis at all."

When Kogoro Mouri heard Fujiwara Hiroshi say that the potential victims were not at the recording site of the program, wasn't that a complete guess?

Fujiwara Hiroshi had said it all before, but now Kogoro Mori was even wondering what was wrong with him. How could he believe Conan's story about a dead person?

He was still running around the recording site of the show looking for potential victims. Fortunately, no one else knew about it, otherwise it would be very embarrassing.

Otherwise, if the news got out that Kogoro Mouri was looking for potential victims at the program recording site, he would really be too embarrassed to face anyone.

After all, if this kind of thing is really predicted accurately, people will avoid you like the plague and think you are a bad omen.

If you can't predict something like this, but you still look for it in a serious and solemn manner, the behavior itself is a joke no matter how you look at it.

Kogoro Mouri, who has always been slow in the brain, finally figured it out at this time. He could not continue searching, otherwise if other people knew about it, it would become a laughing stock.

Kogoro Mouri looked around and seemed to have no one noticed his behavior, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

That is to say, although Fujiwara Hiroshi always makes accurate judgments, this kind of thing is still hard to believe even if you have seen it with your own eyes.

Even though Xiaolan has seen it so many times with Fujiwara Hiroshi, she still doesn't believe it in her heart, so she goes all in in the name of her father, the famous detective Kogoro, who is sleeping.

Kogoro Mouri also experienced it himself yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, he was all-in by his own daughter, and he lost in the end. Now that he has come to his senses, he can't believe it at all.

Even though it seems that Xiaolan believes Fujiwara Hiroshi today, she still doesn't. She is so stubborn because she is dissatisfied with Conan's behavior yesterday, so she deliberately cooperates with him.

Just when Kogoro Mouri was secretly thanking his luck that no one noticed him looking at others, someone called him from behind.

"Um, is this Mr. Maori Kogoro?"

It turned out that Kogoro Mouri, who was like a frightened bird, almost fell to the ground when he heard the sudden sound coming from behind him.

After a comical stumble, Kogoro Mouri steadied himself, turned around, coughed lightly, and answered in a calm manner.

"Yes, I am Maori Kogoro!"

"That's great, Mr. Maori. I just waited for you to come and thought you forgot about recording today's program!"

After receiving the affirmative answer from Mouri Kogoro, the staff member danced excitedly and stepped forward to hold Mouri Kogoro's hand, leaving Mouri Kogoro confused.

"Mr. Maori, let's hurry up. The live broadcast of the program is about to begin. I'm going to take you to the dressing room to do some simple makeup and styling. We're running out of time!"

After saying that, without waiting for Mouri Kogoro's reaction, he directly pulled Mouri Kogoro up and ran towards the dressing room.

"Uh... Dad was taken away directly?" Only after Kogoro Mouri disappeared from everyone's sight did Xiaolan realize this.

"It seems so, Sister Xiaolan, and it seems that uncle has no idea that he needs to put on makeup and design his hair before going on the show, and get in position in advance backstage.

The staff was extremely worried, but luckily they found him in time, otherwise the show would have started before the guests arrived and it would have become a performance accident."

Conan also complained in a sarcastic tone.

But Conan was thinking to himself, "I really don't know which idiot wanted to get Maori Kogoro to be on this show. He's not afraid of ruining his career!"

When Fujiwara Hiroshi saw Conan's expression of rolling his eyes, he knew that Conan was criticizing his father-in-law in his heart again.

"Yeah, but the planner of this program really has a good vision. Creating a detective interview program and finding the currently popular detective, the Sleeping Kogoro, is quite a unique vision!"

Fujiwara Hiroshi looked at Conan and directly pointed this out to him.

It’s okay for others to complain about Kogoro Mouri if the product is not what was advertised, but what qualifications do you, Conan, have to complain about and laugh at Kogoro Mouri?

It was Conan who was responsible for the current unreliable and confused detective who had to face this situation.

The others didn't know that it was Conan who solved the case through reasoning behind the scenes, so of course they attributed everything to Kogoro Mouri.

Only when you actually come into contact with him yourself will you find that the real Kogoro Mori is completely different from what is portrayed in the news.

This can be considered as consumer fraud, because people are essentially paying a high price to hire someone who is different from what is advertised.

The suspects were also paralyzed. They thought that the famous Maori Kogoro was only at this level? They didn't realize that there was someone else who was really watching their every move, and he was just a child.

He never remembers or has any impression of the cases he has handled, and his speech is also rough, which is completely inconsistent with the image of a rigorous detective.

Whenever someone discovered something was wrong, Xiaolan would help out and say that her father, Kogoro Mouri, deliberately behaved like this in order to paralyze the suspects.

The most amazing thing is that Kogoro Mouri himself believed this statement. From the initial confusion to the final acceptance, he really thought that he was helped by God to solve the case.

There's really nothing wrong with it. This is like divine intervention—the god of death is also a god, right? All I can say is, it's wonderful to live in my own dream.

Conan listened to what Fujiwara Hiroshi said, and he always felt that Fujiwara Hiroshi was saying something else, as if he was pointing at him! And in fact, Fujiwara Hiroshi was pointing at him.

A few minutes after Kogoro Mouri was taken away, the live recording of the program began, and the first person to appear was Takashi Matsuo.

"Hello everyone, this week we are once again presenting the All Japan Detective Agency segment. Serving you today is me, the program host - Takashi Matsuo."

As the cameras were in place, the first to make the opening remarks was still the show's top host, Takashi Matsuo.

At this time, Takashi Matsuo still maintained a professional smile and a kind-hearted look on his face, without any gloom at all.

If someone could have witnessed the expression on Takashi Matsuo's face when he was talking to Michihiko Suwa on the phone yesterday, there would be no way they could have mistaken the Takashi Matsuo in front of them as the same person as the previous Takashi Matsuo. The contrast was simply too great.

"And assistant host Nagai Ayako, serving everyone!"

Like Takashi Matsuo, Nagai Ayako also maintained a smiling expression. As a girl, Nagai Ayako extended an index finger with each hand and pointed to her cheek while speaking, which made her look even more interesting and playful.

"Our staff will reveal the answers to the difficult cases sent to us by people from all over the country."

Takashi Matsuo read out the content in an orderly manner according to the script at any time, and more than ten cameras were filming them.

As expected of a Nichimi TV program, the filming technology is extremely professional. Not only are there shots from various directions and angles, but there are also aerial perspectives from top to bottom with the assistance of elevators.

Unlike now in the 21s, when drones can be used for auxiliary shooting, as the end of the 20th century, being able to have such shooting conditions is absolutely top-notch, which also shows the strength of Nichiuri TV.

"Today our special guest is an expert in solving crimes. Let us welcome the famous detective, Mr. Maori Kogoro!"

Following the grand introduction by assistant host Ayako Nagai, the lighting technicians tacitly focused the lights on Kogoro Mouri.

It’s true, Kogoro Mouri was only pulled away by the little assistant for such a short few minutes, but he was already made into a very handsome look. It seems that the people at Nichiuri TV are really professional!

Kogoro Mouri struck a pose that he thought was very handsome, but Kogoro Mouri's handsomeness only lasted for three seconds, and his funny nature was immediately revealed.

"Hahaha, hello everyone!" Kogoro Mouri made the most classic move, touching the back of his head with his right hand, and then laughed out loud.

"Baga, what an idiot, he has brought shame upon himself in front of the whole nation..." Conan rolled his dead eyes, Kogoro Mouri's performance was really unbearable to watch.

Fortunately, Conan has become more honest after being beaten frequently. Otherwise, he would not be as outspoken as before. Otherwise, he would not complain in his heart like this. He would definitely say these words directly in front of Kogoro Mouri.

"Mr. Maori, among all the cases you have investigated in the past, which one was the most difficult?"

In addition to introducing the guest Kogoro Mori, the beautiful assistant host Ayako Nagai is also responsible for the Cue process and asking questions.

This was actually arranged by Michihiko Suwa. As the program progressed, the beauties were gradually given more shots. Although it was Takashi Matsuo's program, the shots were always focused on the assistant.

This is also because Michihiko Suwa has studied the latest ratings and has begun to make partial replacements, which is equivalent to warming up in advance.

"To be honest, every time I solve an incident, I get drowsy, so I don't remember anything. Sorry!"

Kogoro Mouri's mental state, sometimes serious and sometimes crazy, made Nagai Ayako confused and she didn't know how to respond to Kogoro Mouri.
