Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 8: Being able to get away with it, all thanks to the advantage of age

"The real boss is here!"

Hearing the knock on the door, Conan's heart moved. Knowing the plot well, he had already guessed what would happen next!

A former diplomat's wife was deceived by her husband's murderer and married him. They lived together for many years. It was not until her own daughter fell in love with the murderer's son that she learned the truth. In order to seek revenge, she killed her current husband and tried to put the blame on his accomplices.

Although this series of relationships is very complicated, the method used in Conan's series of cases is surprisingly simple! Everything is a sleight of hand. Who would have thought that the deceased died in front of so many detectives?

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but look towards the door. He decided to stare at the poor murderer closely, hoping to stop her from committing the crime today.

After all, who was this person next to him? That was Chief Inspector Osaka's son! If he knew the truth about this matter and went back to tell his father, would the police in Tokyo still have any face?

As long as she is willing to speak out the truth, then Uncle Mori and Inspector Megure will definitely realize the seriousness of the matter! They will definitely arrest this diplomat who has done so many bad things in the shortest possible time!

And don't forget, the diplomat's father also regrets this matter. No matter what his reason is, as long as the police come to investigate, he will not shield or condone his son again!

However, just as Conan was looking forward to it, the person who came in from the door was not the old lady in his memory, but a young and beautiful girl.

When he saw this person, Maori Kogoro, who was originally sitting lazily in the chair, sat up straight and shouted:

"Ms. Yoko"

Then, before Conan could react, Uncle Maori disappeared from the spot. Within two minutes, he changed out of his shabby clothes and put on a brand new and decent suit. He stood at the door of the room with a rose that he had gotten from somewhere in his hand:

"My name is Maori Kogoro! I wonder what orders Miss Yoko has for you? Just ask, and I promise to complete your order with the utmost enthusiasm and seriousness. As for the commission fee, I only ask Miss Yoko to give me her autograph."

Seeing the sudden show-off Maori Kogoro, everyone present was stunned, especially Conan and Xiaolan who lived here:

"No, where did the rose in Uncle (Dad)'s hand come from? Why are there water droplets on it? There are no roses at home!"

And, you look so showy, how did you manage to change clothes, put on makeup, and finally get a rose in such a short time!

Of course, apart from this, Conan was even more speechless about another thing:

So, the order of the cases really didn't change, but because there were so many factors, did the NPC Hattori Heiji spawn early? Why did he spawn from the diplomat incident to Miss Yoko's incident?

Seeing Kogoro's performance, Yoko Okino forced a smile. She had begun to doubt whether it was a wrong choice for her to deliberately come to such a small firm.

Seeing Yoko's somewhat embarrassed expression, Yamagishi Ei, the agent who recommended her to this small agency, also looked a little unhappy. If Yoko was dissatisfied with this agency, he would definitely be the one who would be affected the most! He didn't want to be fired by Yoko!

In order to prevent Mao Li from leaving a worse impression on Yoko, he stood up directly:

"Well, excuse me, are you Mr. Maori Kogoro? We have a request and need your help!"

"Of course! As long as Miss Yoko needs me, I, Kogoro Mori, will definitely do my best to help!"

Uncle Maori, upon seeing this, bent his body ostentatiously, placed one hand on his chest, and pointed the other hand towards the house, making a gesture of invitation.

Looking at Maori Kogoro's actions, Conan choked and said with a strange expression:

"Uncle, this action should be that of a receptionist..."

Hattori Heiji also stood aside in a daze:

"probably?"

At this point, he wasn't sure if he'd learned the etiquette lessons correctly! Why would a host use such a gesture, typically reserved for greeters, towards a guest?

Xiaolan, who had heard what the two said, looked at her old father who was acting like a show-off and clenched her fists.

"dad!"

......

Finally, under Ran's suppression, Maori Kogoro returned to his original normal behavior. After seeing him finally return to normal, not to mention Conan and the others, even Okino Yoko secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, she explained all the recent situations in which she had been followed, monitored, had her house broken into, received secretly taken photos, and received silent phone calls.

After hearing Yoko's accusation, Maori Kogoro, who had finally calmed down, stood up again:

"Damn it! How dare someone treat the lovely Miss Yoko like this! No, I will never let her go! I'll take your commission! I will definitely help you find the real culprit behind this!"

Although Mao Li was still a little excited this time, considering that he was excited because of the commission, no one present poured cold water on him.

Although the current Kogoro does not have the reputation of "Sleeping Kogoro" in the later period of Conan, but with the help of Kudo, he is no longer the often confused and muddle-headed detective in the original work. So Hattori Heiji did not mock him, but just said:

"Take me along, please. I'm curious about your reasoning skills as Kudo's father-in-law!"

"Not my father-in-law!" X2

Kogoro and Ran protested in unison, though one's eyes were red, and the other's cheeks were flushed. Their faces revealed the reason for their protest.

Conan did not interfere too much in the conversation between the few people. He just needed to wait for them to finish talking and then follow them. Sure enough, after the protest, Xiaolan's voice came from beside him:

"I think I'd better not go. Conan's cold has gotten worse. I'd better stay and take care of him."

'See, that's right, I just have to follow...

Wait, wait! What did Xiaolan just say? She's not going? Stay and take care of me!

After hearing Xiaolan's words, Conan was stunned for a moment. After recalling the plot, he finally reacted:

'Originally, it seemed like in Yoko's case, it was because I followed her without permission that Xiaolan followed her?

And the diplomat incident was because Hattori told Xiaolan that as long as she went, Kudo would also go, and it was because I suggested going that we went together?

Now, Hattori has no idea that Kudo is nearby, and since I didn't say anything, Xiaolan won't go?! No, this is absolutely not possible! Although I don't want to get involved in reasoning, there are still some things that need to be confirmed! '

While he was thinking, he even heard Maori Kogoro say something like "this is fine". Hearing this, Conan quickly said:

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm fine, the cold isn't serious.

Besides, I’ve never seen my idol’s house, so I want to go see it. Is that okay? You should want to go too, right~”

As he asked, Conan stared at Xiaolan through his large glasses, his eyes blinking. At this point, he no longer considered that his body was actually that of a high school student named Kudo, and his soul was that of a person who had experienced two lives. He just wanted to use his age advantage to get away with it.

Don't mention it, this trick is quite useful. After being looked at by Conan like this, Xiaolan hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed reluctantly:

"Okay, I get it! But Conan, you have to remember, don't run around everywhere! If you cause any inconvenience to Miss Yoko, I will never forgive you!"

"it is good!"

Then, the four masters and apprentices set out on a journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures... cough, that's a bit of a misunderstanding. Then, the six of them set out on the road to Yoko's home.

Yamagishi Ei and Yoko: What are our opinions? Why is the team getting bigger and bigger? With so many people, how can we expect to be inconspicuous? Is that even possible???

Of course, as the protagonist, Conan decided something, and as the parties involved, Yamagishi Sakae and Yoko naturally had no way to refuse. After looking at each other, the two sighed and took so many people to Yoko's residence in the car.

As for the specific seating arrangements... Yamagishi Ei was driving, and Hattori Heiji sat in the front seat at Mori's insistence. However, under Ran's threat, Mori obediently sat in the back seat, while Ran sat in the middle, leaving the outer seat for Yoko.

As for Conan, he successfully squeezed onto Xiaolan's legs by relying on his age advantage.

In response, Conan said: This is really not my intention, really! (Slurp)
