Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 62: Kido Detective Agency [Seeking follow-up reading and monthly ticket]

"That's right, A'mo."

Dr. Agasa returned to the living room with a document.

"I've asked a friend to take care of everything... When do you plan to open your office?"

"It should be tomorrow. There won't be any ceremony. Just prepare a small banquet and treat everyone to a meal."

Gao Mo took the document and said.

"Doctor, please don't go out for the next two days."

"I seldom go out..."

Dr. Agasa muttered and looked at Haibara Ai who lowered her head and remained silent.

He actually likes children very much and has fantasized about having a well-behaved daughter.

The shrunken Haibara Ai seemed a little afraid of him.

"Is the child alright?" Dr. Agasa asked with concern. "Shinichi is also trying to find a way to investigate those guys. There will definitely be a chance for him to recover in the future."

"It's okay, she's just shy of strangers." Gao Mo didn't elaborate for the time being.

Until returning to the Kudo family, Haibara Ai didn't say another word, and went back to her room with a hint of sadness on her face.

The name "Haibara Ai" was originally supposed to be "Haibara Ai", but the girl herself changed "Ai" to "Ai".

Now it is even more directly used... This huge sorrow seems to be even stronger, like a raging wave coming and then turning into silent silence.

Gao Mo stood at the door and wanted to knock, but his fingers suddenly stopped in mid-air.

I originally wanted to test it out, how did it turn out like this?
"Xiao Ai, call me if you have any problems." Gao Mo scratched his hair.

Little Mustache was right, he was far behind in terms of emotions.

Even though you may not understand, it is better to let the other person be quiet at this time.

There's still a lot to do today, including the custom-made office sign, newly purchased furniture and office equipment...

Return to the lobby.

Before Gao Mo could think too much, Xiaolan and Yuanzi, who happened to be on vacation, suddenly visited him.

The two high school girls were dressed up beautifully and looked very youthful and cute.

Of course, Conan still stayed with Xiaolan.

"Mr. Kido," Xiaolan said, pulling the nervous Sonoko and smiling, "Dad told me that your office will open tomorrow, so I was thinking if I could come over and help out, like cleaning or something... New houses tend to accumulate dust easily."

Yuanzi grabbed Xiaolan's sleeve and hid behind her. When she met Gao Mo's gaze, she nodded quickly: "That reasoning geek has never really cleaned the house!"

"hehe."

Conan was standing beside him, half smiling and twitching the corners of his mouth.

If he had known it was going to be a big cleaning, he wouldn't have come along.

Not only might there be no chance to ask "Myano Shiho" for information about the organization and the drug, but she might also be dragged into the work.

He is the landlord after all...

"Don't be so polite," Gao Mo said as he led a few people into the house. "Just call me Brother Chenghu from now on. I'm not much older than you."

Conan: Eight or nine years older.

"Sit down for a while, I'll get you some water."

"No, we're not guests."

Xiaolan grabbed Conan who wanted to sneak away with Gao Mo.

"When Shinichi was here before, I helped clean it... Let's start with the study. You can leave the second floor for another day."

Yuanzi looked at her best friend who was looking for a mop and bucket with a slightly bitter expression.

She didn't dress up so hard just to get covered in dust.

I've never done this kind of work since I was a kid...

Gao Mo felt uncomfortable being stared at by Conan: "I will find a professional housekeeper to take care of the cleaning. How can I trouble you?"

"No trouble, no trouble," Xiaolan turned to Sonoko and Conan with a smile, "right?"

"right……"

"Ding Dong!" The doorbell rang again outside. It was the people delivering food, furniture and equipment who had all arrived.

"I'm going to go out for a bit," Gao Mo said as he quickly changed his shoes. "If you really want to help, clean the study. I'm worried about leaving it to the housekeeping staff."

"it is good."

Xiaolan quietly nudged the gardener with her elbow as she watched Gao Mo leave eagerly.

"Everything has a beginning, Sonoko. Pick up the momentum and let Mr. Kido see a different side of you."

"That's right," Sonoko said, rolling up her sleeves as if swearing an oath to go to war, with an expression of fearlessness. "Let's get started. Dust and dirt and all, here comes Miss Sonoko!"

"It's not that exaggerated, Sonoko," Xiaolan smiled awkwardly, "I'm just cleaning..."

Several people carried a bucket of water, a rag and a mop and entered the inner study.

"Let's dust the bookshelves onto the floor first, starting from the second floor. Conan, pass me the rag..."

Ai Haibara opened the door a crack, listened to Xiaolan's instructions in the study, tidied herself up, and appeared at the door of the study with her lower lip lightly bitten.

"Is it the child from before?" Xiaolan noticed Huiyuan Ai first. "She looks much better today. So cute."

Huiyuan Ai turned her head away awkwardly: "I, I'll help."

"Who is this child?" Yuanzi's heart skipped a beat. "Could it be..."

"It seems to be the child of Shiroto-san's friend," Xiaolan explained, "and he got caught in the rain the day before yesterday and caught a cold and a fever."

Later, Conan looked solemn and did not let his guard down because of Haibara Ai's cute appearance.

No matter how you look at it, the people who come from that kind of organization are not simple characters.

"What's your name?" Xiaolan bent down and came closer and asked gently.

"Habara, Haibara Ai."

……

forecourt.

Gao Mo directed the workers to move the equipment into the house.

There's nothing special about it, just the usual equipment in a detective agency.

A landline phone, filing cabinet, tool box, and a work computer are all available for the commission.

Then there is the arrangement of the corridor that leads directly from the hall to the study.

Several desks were placed in the lobby in advance - although no staff had been recruited yet, they were prepared in case they were needed.

In addition, there are clothing props for disguise, which he needs to find time to purchase himself.

Currently, there are only conventional props used by detectives, which are universal and popular. The advantage is that they are not easy to attract attention.

Detectives generally don't set themselves apart from others in their investigations.

Only a small number of rookies like to wrap themselves up tightly, for fear that they will not be suspicious - excerpted from "The Detective Notes of Kogoro Mouri".

"Just put it here."

After all the ingredients were moved into the big refrigerator, the customized sign was also delivered.

Kido Detective Agency.

Combined with the style of Kudo's residence, it has a Western feel.

It is covered with red cloth and installed on the side of the doorbell at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for the grand opening tomorrow.

As for the flyers... Gao Mo didn't release them for the time being.

As mentioned before, he was not planning to get involved in extramarital affair investigations, and he was not interested in trivial cases before recruiting staff.

At present, the main approach is to cooperate with the police, relying on the "Kindaichi" vest to do some consulting business, and then connect with corporate business when the reputation is raised.

Only this guy with a mustache, after becoming a famous detective, still receives commissions to find cats and dogs and investigate extramarital affairs.

"Beep!"

Just as I was talking about the mustache, a phone call came in as soon as possible.

"Kirouto-kun, remember to come with me to a party when you're done. Many members of the association and other private investigators will be there."
