Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 331 Hidden Assassin - Investigation in Progress
Conan spoke in a "sweet" voice, but did not arouse any suspicion from the other party, and successfully got to the other party's current position.

Judging from the music over there, it seems to be in some concert hall or something.

Matsuda Jinpei, who was driving, had a slightly different opinion: "Did you make up what you just said? Or..."

"How is that possible? I did hear someone talk about him, but at that time I didn't know he was Minister Odagiri's son."

Conan smiled a little sheepishly and scratched his head.

"Who? Is it related to this case?" Matsuda Jinpei suddenly asked.

"... This, shouldn't matter, right?" Conan thought about it carefully, "Because that person was a rock star that Sonoko was chasing after, named Kimura Tatsuya. At that time, he mentioned that 'Toshiya's talent is still very good', so I think they should know each other."

This happened not long after he became a small child, and several months have passed since then.

Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows. "Just now, Minister Odagiri also mentioned that his son is addicted to rock music... You think quickly."

Conan scratched his head: "Well, it's okay..."

Matsuda Jinpei held the steering wheel with one hand and took out a lollipop. "Want some?"

Conan paused and said with a sidelong glance, "No need, Officer Matsuda, I haven't eaten the one you gave me this afternoon..."

"I just want to remind you that the shelf life of that lollipop is almost over, so you should eat it as soon as possible." Jinpei Matsuda tore open the package with one hand and stuffed the lollipop into his mouth.

Conan: "..."

Giving him an expired lollipop? What's the intention?

Seeing Jinpei Matsuda holding a candy in his mouth, Conan remembered something, "By the way, Officer Matsuda, I remember you used to smoke. When did you start liking lollipops?"

Matsuda Jinpei looked forward, his expression unchanged, "I was afraid of lighting a bomb when I lit a cigarette, so I quit."

Conan: "..."

Is this bullshit?

But why couldn't he find a reason to refute it...

"Have you thought about what to say to people when you meet them later?"

Jinpei Matsuda found that he couldn't give Conan another chance to ask questions, otherwise, any question he asked would be a fatal one.

"…Well, let's just play it by ear, okay?"

Conan laughed twice.

He just told Odagiri Toshiya on the phone that he got the other party's phone number from Kimura Tatsuya, and said that he likes rock music very much.

When the other party heard that he was introduced by Kimura Tatsuya, he didn't care that he was a child and happily gave up his position...

From this, we can judge that Odagiri Toshi should have a certain degree of respect for Kimura Tatsuya, but if he knew that they were here to investigate the case, it would be hard to say.

After all, judging from what Minister Odagiri said, he seemed to have many conflicts with his son, and Odagiri Toshi also didn't like the police.

"Let's act according to circumstances..."

……

The two soon arrived at their destination.

As expected, this place is an underground music hall, and there are many people coming in and out of the entrance.

Conan jumped out of the car first.

However, when he reached the door, he noticed that Jinpei Matsuda had not followed him.

Looking back, Conan's eyes twitched twice.

Because at some point Jinpei Matsuda had taken off his black suit jacket and was only wearing a white shirt with all the buttons above his chest undone.

He put his sunglasses on his forehead, held his suit in his left hand and threw it behind his back, and put his right hand in his pocket.

This look...

Be as cool as you can be.

And he was holding a lollipop in his mouth, which made him look even more carefree. "......Officer Matsuda, you are really dedicated to your job." Conan curled his lips, "But, you are more like a gangster if you risk your life like this..."

Not a rock fan.

"Then what can be done?"

Matsuda Jinpei shrugged nonchalantly, "As long as I don't look like a policeman, that's fine."

He was also worried that what if Odagiri Toshi knew they were police officers and said nothing... that would be even more troublesome.

Conan followed Jinpei Matsuda in silence.

In fact, he wanted to say that even if Officer Matsuda was dressed normally, he didn't look like a policeman...

It seems that among all the serious male police officers he has ever met, Jinpei Matsuda is the only one who never wears his tie properly and never buttons his jacket.

When we walked into the basement music hall, the noise suddenly became deafening.

Looking at the scene which was not crowded but full of people cheering, the two of them fell into deep thought:
Here comes the problem-

How should they find Odagiri Toshiya in such a huge crowd?

"Didn't you just ask him where he was waiting for us?" Matsuda Jinpei asked a soul-searching question.

"No, just say it's in this concert hall." Conan took out his cell phone and decided to make another call.

But at this moment, a bartender walked out from the empty bar next to him and said, "Um, sir, and the little boy...Excuse me, are you Mr. Minye's guests?"

"Oh, yes...we are here to find him." Jinpei Matsuda raised his eyebrows.

"In that case, Mr. Toshiya is inside in room d02. He has been waiting for you for quite a while."

The bartender had a warm smile on his face.

Conan immediately thanked him cutely: "Thank you, uncle!"

What a nice person! Someone gave me a pillow just when I was sleepy.
The two men immediately walked to a relatively empty corridor, found room d02, knocked on the door twice and pushed it open.

The private room was very quiet, not at all affected by the noise outside, and the facilities were very similar to those of a karaoke hall.

Sitting on the sofa in the private room was a young man with purple hair and a face that looked like Minister Odagiri—Odagiri Toshiya.

Conan looked at the standing purple hair, then looked at Matsuda Jinpei's curly hair, and after comparing them, he found that the latter still looked...

More like a gangster.

"Oh! You are the ones that Tatsuya-san introduced here, right?"

Odagiri Toshi, who was dressed very fashionably, also seemed very excited.

"Hi~ Brother Toshiya, I was the one who called just now." Conan raised his little hand, "It's Brother Matsuda next to me. He likes rock music very much, so he wants to learn about rock bands... I originally wanted to go find Brother Tatsuya, but Brother Tatsuya said that Brother Toshiya could help, so he recommended us here!"

There was no loophole in what he said.

It’s just that Jinpei Matsuda’s fist is a little hard - this guy really knows how to pass the buck!

“Oh, really? I’m so sorry…” The arrogant Odagiri Toshio actually looked embarrassed, “Actually, I’m a fan of Tatsuya, and I’ve been coached by him a few times before. I didn’t expect that he still remembers me…”

Conan rolled his eyes, "Then Toshiya-san must be very good at singing rock music, right? Because Tatsuya-san said that Toshiya-san is very talented~"

He, Ke, always speaks the truth.

Now, Odagiri Toshi felt even more embarrassed.

He even asked someone to bring two bags of popcorn and drinks for the two of them.

"By the way, I wonder what type of rock music does Mr. Matsuda like?" Odakiri Toshi also felt that he should fulfill his responsibility of "teaching".

Jinpei Matsuda paused while chewing his lollipop.

That’s a great question…

So the question is - who can tell him what types of rock music there are?
