Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

"Conan, what do you want from me?"

As the environment became increasingly remote and the number of people around him dwindled, Maori's gaze towards Conan subtly changed. Could this little brat be trying to threaten him?

However, if he really threatened me with what just happened, I really wouldn't be able to refuse!

Thinking of this, Maori's thoughts gradually became vague.

"?"

Looking at Maori who seemed to be distracted, Conan slowly asked a question. No, what's going on, Uncle Maori? How could he be distracted while walking?

"Uncle Maori? Uncle Maori!"

Looking at the almost empty area around him, Conan called out to Maori, who was still unconsciously moving forward and almost walking in front of him.

"Conan, what do you want to talk to me about? Can we go back and talk?"

Mao Li came to his senses and looked at the dark surroundings with no one in sight. He was completely confused. No, what on earth was he going to discuss in such a place?

"I don't mind, but uncle, are you sure you want to go back and tell me about the Black Star?"

Conan looked at Maori suspiciously, not knowing what he was thinking, and his eyes looked a little strange.

No, what happened to Uncle Maori? Why does it feel like there's something wrong with him?

"Of course! Go back and tell him... Wait, what did you say? The Dark Star?!"

"Yes~"

As he spoke, Conan took out the Black Star from his arms:

"Uncle, look, this is the real Black Star."

"Is this really the real thing? Wait, where did you find this?!"

Maori subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the pearl, but at the last moment, he suddenly thought of something, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Conan also changed subtly:

"Could it be that you are Kaito Kidd?"

"..."

After hearing Maori's analysis, Conan's face was filled with a trace of speechlessness. My goodness, Uncle Maori's ability is still so strong. The value of eliminating a wrong answer is still increasing.

It's impossible no matter how I think about it! I'm a child, and Kaito Kidd is an adult, how could he possibly disguise himself as me?

Conan explained somewhat helplessly.

"That's unpredictable. What if you used some tools to fill yourself out and make yourself look like an adult? Like a robot."

Seeing Maori talking nonsense in a serious manner, Conan is really at a loss. No wonder Inspector Megure calls Maori Kogoro a black hole. This reasoning ability is really too powerful!

However, seeing the increasingly determined look on Maori's face, Conan hurriedly explained:

"Uncle Maori, you think too much! This dark star was found by Shinichi! He found the pearl, but he didn't notice that Kidd ran away!"

"Hmm? Why is the pearl that boy found in your hands? And what's the meaning of you giving it to me?"

After hearing Conan's words, Maori had a glimmer of understanding in his heart, but he still looked at Conan with some uncertainty. He didn't understand why Kudo made such a decision.

"Brother Shinichi means that you, Uncle Maori, should return the pearl to Mrs. Suzuki."

Seeing that Maori was pretending to be stupid, Conan shook his head and said bluntly.

"But why?"

After hearing Conan's words, Maori became even more confused:

"Could it be that Kudo is the thief crying thief? He is actually Kaito Kid, so he is using this method to make me return the pearl?"

I can only say that although Mao Li doesn't use his brain much under normal circumstances, he dares to guess! Moreover, his sixth sense is quite accurate in a sense?

After hearing Maori's speculation, Conan's face was a little embarrassed. No, why can you guess so accurately at this time! However, in order to keep Kaito secret, he still pretended to be calm and said:

"Uncle Maori, you think too much. Shinichi brother said that it is not convenient for him to appear in public now.

Furthermore, he claimed that he was able to find the Dark Star simply because of a bit of luck. If you search in that direction and don't get stuck, you'll definitely find the Dark Star faster.

Plus, since you are the elder, he should give you this opportunity. Therefore, Shinichi-nii asked me to pass this pearl to you.

"Are you sure that Kudo kid really said that?"

After hearing Conan's words, Maori showed a look of surprise on his face.

"of course."

"Hahaha! I knew that guy has good taste!"

After hearing Conan's words, Maori burst into laughter. While laughing, he took the pearl from Conan's hand:

"Don't worry, since Kudo can't show up in public, I'll be patient and take on this kind of work that requires showing up in public for him!"

Looking at Maori who was laughing so hard and his whole state changed, Conan began to doubt whether his decision was correct. Why did he always feel that asking Kaito to come forward was more reliable than asking this uncle for help?

Fortunately, Uncle Maori was still very reliable when it came to showing off. He returned to the hall with the Black Star wrapped in a handkerchief and handed the pearl to Suzuki Tomoko like a treasure:

"Mrs. Suzuki, I'm glad I accomplished my mission. Although that thief got away, I've brought the Black Star back to you."

Carefully taking the black pearl from Maori's hand, Suzuki Tomoko confirmed it before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Officer, it's OK. Detective Maori has recovered the Black Star."

Seeing that only Maori came back, Nakamori Ginzo immediately came up to him:

"Mouri, why are you the only one back? Where's Kudo Shinichi? Is he missing? Is he the Kaito Kid you were talking about?!"

That's right, even though it has been confirmed that 'Kudo Shinichi' has not disguised himself, Nakamori Ginzo still has not lifted his suspicion on him.

"Ah, officer, are you talking about me?"

Just as Officer Nakamori was questioning, Kaito walked in from the door. When he saw the pearl in Tomoko's hand, he pretended not to know anything and showed a surprised expression:

"Hmm? Looks like I'm a bit behind. I was just about to say that I hadn't found any suspicious individuals resembling Kidd, but I didn't expect that Uncle Maori had already found the Black Star!"

"Hahaha! Of course, after all, old ginger is still the wisest!"

Faced with Kaito's praise, Mao Li accepted it without a care. Kaito's eyes twitched. If it wasn't his cousin's request, he would definitely teach you a lesson!
