Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 168 Two Commissions: Martial Arts Software Helps the Poor
Of course, it is impossible for Hotoshi to subcontract the winery business to Toru Amuro, who is obviously problematic.

The new commission mentioned by Yingsheng is:

"The karate competition is about to begin, and I suddenly had an idea. Can we develop some kind of software that can analyze the contestants' attack habits, strength, angles, etc. through videos, and then let the computer calculate the best response strategy?"

Amuro Toru was silent for a while: "With Miss Lan's strength, you don't need this."

"Martial arts have no limits. Even if she wins the championship this time, it only means that she is stronger than other high school girls in Kanto. Listen, this is too restrictive. Have you heard of Kyogoku Makoto? The newspapers call him the strongest, and he also practices karate."

"...I see. It means finding the right software developer, right?"

Amuro Toru closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. He felt dizzy from searching for clues in the hospital courtyard, and his headache became even greater after hearing Yingsheng's needs.

Forget it, he is a rich young man anyway, so whatever happens.

"Upfront cost, 500,000, is that okay?"

"No problem. Is it still the same card? But there should be a commission report this time. It should be more professional."

"Got it. Once I gather the information of the software developers, I will send you a copy for you to choose from. The same goes for each node later."

"Please, hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up with the game."

"...I've already told you that Miss Lan is fine."

"Yeah, I heard from Xiaolan that Mr. Amuro is much better than her. Your judgment must be right. I'm just curious, why don't you do a job like a fighting coach? That would be easier than being a detective, right?"

"I like to meet different people and things, and the job of detective is good for this."

Oh, so is part-time work at a milk tea shop also included?
Yingsheng seemed to be deep in thought. It felt like he was an intelligence agent, mixing with all kinds of people.

Or a black market broker?

"I see. It's really great to be able to do what you like." Yingsheng smiled. "I have another question. How much did Lawyer Hime spend on Mr. Maori this time? Did she come to the hospital? Did she say anything?"

"I don't know the exact amount, but judging by the shocked look on Officer Megure's face, it should be a permanent solution. Lawyer Hime didn't come to the hospital, but asked Officer Megure to tell Mr. Mori to take care of himself."

"Oh, then can we ask Mr. Amuro to investigate Attorney Hime's financial situation?"

"Of course you can, but why does Mr. Shuiyue care about this?"

"Data is more convincing. I want Xiaolan to see more directly what it means to help the poor with love."

"...Okay, no extra charge this time."

After hanging up the phone, Amuro Toru began to feel more and more strange about Mizuki Hotaru. His style of doing things...

It's too casual.

Shaking his head helplessly, Toru Amuro continued searching, but even after he had walked through every corner of the courtyard, he still did not find what he guessed. Finally, he walked to the top of the three steps, took a quick glance at the courtyard, and turned to go upstairs.

When he arrived at Ward 413, it was : in the morning. Kudo Shinichi, who went to bed late and got up late, was yawning, holding a heart-shaped knot made of hair in his hand, with a puzzled look in his eyes, and was about to turn around to look at the girl next to him.

When he saw Toru Amuro coming in, Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up immediately: "Mr. Amuro, did you find it?"

"No."

Amuro Toru shook his head, pulled a chair over and sat down next to the bed:

"You think Mr. Maori's hallucinations are actually human factors. Perhaps it is caused by negative visual afterimages and special light-transmitting films. That's why we didn't see them. But in the end, we didn't find the special vector images or films."

Kudo Shinichi's eyes flickered: "Where's the card for the Kabukicho club?"

"It's an ordinary membership card, standard style. The only difference is that the person on the other end of the phone was told that as long as Kogoro Mori comes over, two muscular brothers will be arranged to give him a bath." Toru Amuro couldn't help laughing at the end. This is worthy of Mr. Mizuki's style.

In order to make things perfect for both parties, Toru Amuro quietly put the card back into Kogoro Mori's pocket and made an expression that every man could understand, which made Kogoro Mori burst into tears of gratitude and feel that the world was full of harmony and friendship.

"..."

Kudo Shinichi was speechless: "It seems that I am overthinking. But could that club be related to Shuiyue? If you squint your eyes, the dot pattern looks like a firefly."

"I didn't notice that. I squinted my eyes..." Amuro Toru's mind moved, "Could it be that something that Mr. Maori saw was polarized and can only be seen at a certain angle, and then... it doesn't seem to make sense."

Kudo Shinichi sighed: "It can't really be Uncle Maori's problem, LSD..."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that I took Mr. Maori to do another urine test this morning, and it was negative."

"Eh?!"

Kudo Shinichi was surprised: "Negative?"

"Yes, they repeated the test. Finally, Director Fukuda personally apologized to Mr. Maori and admitted that it was the hospital's mistake last night."

"..."

Considering the death of Yamada Okao last time, the accident rate in the hospital is quite high.

hiss--

Thinking about it this way, could it be that this is done by another mastermind?
His purpose is still unclear, but from Uncle Maori's perspective, it seems that he just wants to severely punish Uncle Maori, but does not want to actually kill or disable him.

So the previous LSD was just a bad joke played on Uncle Maori while misleading the police?

If that's true, coupled with the smiling face and crying face and so on, that guy really has a bad taste.

"But in this case, isn't it more likely that the illusion was artificially created?" Kudo Shinichi pondered, "Could it be that someone cleared the evidence before us?"

Amuro Toru shook his head: "Kudo-kun, if you think like this, there will be no end to it."

Reasoning, after all, must be supported by evidence.

"Feel sorry."

Kudo Shinichi certainly understands this principle, but he has no evidence, so he can only imagine...

"In that case, will Uncle Maori be forcibly sent to a mental hospital?" he asked.

"It shouldn't happen. Officer Megure is willing to vouch for him. Mitsuo Shirai's family will not pursue the matter. Ms. Aida is applying to become his special guardian... Well, it's just a common name, but it's actually an agreement signed with the Metropolitan Police Department." said Toru Amuro.

"Ms. Aida?"

Kudo Shinichi looked strange and instantly became suspicious: "Is there something wrong with her?"

Amuro Toru smiled: "She was hired by Mr. Shuiyue at a high salary."

"That Mizuki guy..."

Kudo Shinichi muttered to himself that the guy was not only being nice to Xiaolan, but also to the entire Mori family.

And he...

He tilted his head slightly...
