Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 13: The Burning Megure

"?"

Conan slowly typed a question mark. Who was he learning from? From Maori? What could he possibly learn from Maori?

Learn his judo that is invincible internally but invincible externally?

Want to learn the gross profit elimination method from his anime, which is to eliminate the wrong answer first?

Or learn his rare ability of never-missing shooting?

Although the last one is indeed worth learning, who is he? He is a man with a golden finger... Boy! His shooting skills are just so-so!

Of course, although he kept slandering in his heart, he couldn't say this openly:

"I understand. I will definitely work hard to learn everything from my uncle!"

"Uh, that's not necessary!"

Now, it's Megure's turn to be embarrassed! Conan may not know what Maori looks like, but he doesn't know it!

Although Maori was a very good policeman when he was in the Metropolitan Police Department, he has fallen into depravity since he left the Metropolitan Police Department, established his own law firm, and separated from Lawyer Hime!

He smokes, drinks, and plays sled games—he's got it all! He's also into porn and gambling! If Conan were to learn from Maori, this kid he's so fond of might just end up like Maori, a social outcast!

As for Maori's ability to solve cases, others might not understand, but he, who also frequently interacts with Kudo, certainly understands it! His biggest problem is that he lacks the ability to connect all the clues! Without Kudo's guidance, how could he possibly solve the case on his own?

Suddenly, Megure thought of something and turned to look at Xiaolan beside him:

"By the way, Xiaolan, since you are here, does that mean that Kudo-kun..."

Xiaolan shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"Officer Megure, Shinichi and I are just ordinary friends! We don't stay together 24 hours a day! Besides, Shinichi said he encountered some troubles and it might take some time for him to come back!"

"Tsk, is that so? That's going to be difficult!"

Hearing this, Inspector Megure smacked his lips and said unhappily, "If Kudo-kun were here, he wouldn't have to think! But now... Mori can't be relied upon, so it seems he'll have to do it himself!"

I hope this case isn't too complicated, and it would be best if there weren't all those messy alibis or cumbersome and complicated bureaucratic methods!

"Oh, Officer Megure! Besides Uncle Mori, there's another excellent detective who's here too!"

Seeing Megure's expression of wanting to give up, Conan suddenly spoke.

"Huh? There are other detectives out there? What's their name? Useful... ahem, I mean, what are their abilities? Can they help us solve the case?"

Megure, who almost said what was in his heart, coughed a few times and asked excitedly.

Detectives are great! Detectives are brilliant! With a detective around, he can continue to rack up merits for free! It feels so good to not have to use your brain!

"You mean to say whether this tool is useful or not!"

Conan rolled his eyes in disdain. Why did Inspector Megure, who seemed quite reliable in the original work, become such a freeloader?

All I can say is that under the pressure of Kudo, Inspector Megure, who was forced to solve the case himself and had burned a lot of brain cells, also learned to give up!

Although he is still an upright police officer who pursues justice, he would never use his brain cells if he had an external brain to help him! After all, he wears a hat only to cover the scars on his head, not to cover his baldness!

"That detective, his name seems to be something like Hattori, isn't it, Xiaolan-nee?"

Conan pretended not to remember and spoke to Xiaolan.

"Yes, I remember his name was Hattori Heiji!"

"Hmm? Hattori? Is that detective from Osaka?!"

Upon hearing this, Megure, who had originally breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly became alert again and asked Conan and Xiaolan.

"It seems so! I remember my uncle said his father was the Chief of Police in Osaka!"

"Everyone, full speed ahead! Start the search immediately! We must find all the clues! No traces left behind!"

"Yes!"

So, under the leadership of the inexplicably ignited Megure, a group of policemen rushed towards Yoko's room. Ran, who was watching from the side, was a little confused:

"Eh? Officer Megure wasn't in a hurry just now? Why are you so anxious now?"

"Maybe it's because Hattori Heiji is a detective in Osaka!"

Conan shrugged. They had a high school student from out of town, and the son of a local police chief, come to his district to solve a case, and solve it before them. How could the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department still maintain its reputation?

"Is that so?"

Xiaolan heard this and nodded thoughtfully:

"But Conan knows so much! Just like Kudo when he was little, he pretends to be an adult. I bet he's very popular in school! Just like Shinichi back then~"

Although Xiaolan just mentioned it casually, Conan broke out in a cold sweat instantly!

What the hell! He's only just crossed over! Even the anime's completely untalented Kudo was only exposed after hiding his true identity from Ran for a long time. How could I be exposed so soon? Doesn't this mean that my acting skills are even worse than Kudo's? Don't do that!

"Ha, haha, I've only been in school for a short time, so I don't really know much about this kind of thing!"

Conan laughed dryly and said, before Xiaolan could react, he hurriedly said:

"Sister Xiaolan, let's hurry over! This might be our only chance to see our idol's house!"

"But there are dead bodies there..."

Xiaolan frowned, not knowing whether she should agree to Conan. She didn't care. Although she had Kudo's protection, she had seen all kinds of strange corpses countless times!

As long as she sees a corpse without being mentally prepared, she won't react excessively, but Conan and Genta are not like that! In Xiaolan's opinion, how can such a potentially bloody scene be seen by a child?

Therefore, she decided to stop Conan and the others from going there! Although it was a pity that she couldn't see the boudoir of the popular idol, for the sake of Conan and the others' physical and mental health, it was a pity!

It's just a pity that Xiaolan, who forgot how wild the personalities of Yuantai and other naughty kids were, didn't stop the three little ones. Just when she decided to stop them, Yuantai passed her and rushed to the back:

"Oh! Miss Yoko's house! I'm going to my idol's house!"

Although Mitsuhiko and Ayumi looked unhappy, they saw that Genta had already run over, so they didn't want to stay here, so they looked at each other and ran to the back:

"Genta! Wait for us!"

"you......"

Seeing the three little ones running over without saying a word, Xiaolan felt her temples throbbing! It would be better to let these naughty kids experience the "love education" from their parents!
