Seeing that Maori Kogoro was still sloppy, with his legs crossed like a salted fish, holding a photo album of Okino Yoko in his hand, he sighed helplessly: "Uncle, at least shave your stubble, in case there are customers coming."

"It's so late, there won't be any customers." Maori Kogoro didn't care and made a sound of admiration: "Ms. Yoko is so beautiful. I really want to see her true face with my own eyes. Ah...Ms. Yoko..."

Watanabe Toru: “…”

This uncle is beyond saving.

Half an hour later, Xiaolan also came back. Seeing her worried and listless appearance, Watanabe Toru knew that she was still thinking about Kudo Shinichi, and asked cutely: "Did Sister Xiaolan get revenge?"

Xiaolan shook her head, and there was even more melancholy between her brows: "Shinichi didn't come to school today. I just called the doctor, and the doctor said that Shinichi came back last night and told him that he had to go away for something important and would not be back for a while..."

Watanabe Toru shook his head secretly. Dr. Agasa was completely setting a trap for Kudo Shinichi. He gave no good reasons and insisted that he had already returned. This was just another stab in Xiaolan's already painful heart.

Being ignored, whether intentional or unintentional, is an irreversible injury to a sensitive girl.

062. Okino Yoko's Commission

Just as Toru Watanabe was thinking about how to comfort Xiaolan, the doorbell rang.

Xiaolan suppressed her emotions and went to open the door.

"Hello, who are you looking for? ...Huh? You, are you... Miss Okino Yoko?"

Maori Kogoro, who didn't care who the visitor was, suddenly raised his head, a look of disbelief flashed across his eyes, and then he jumped up from his chair and rushed to the door, shouting: "Ms. Yoko? Is it really Miss Yoko?"

As if confirmed, under Watanabe Toru's stunned gaze, Maori Kogoro quickly retreated and rushed into the bathroom. In less than half a minute, his originally sloppy appearance suddenly became respectable. He held a rose he had picked from somewhere in his mouth, leaned against the door gracefully, and said to Okino Yoko who was standing outside the door: "Ms. Yoko, how can I help you?"

Watanabe Toru: “…”

Xiaolan: "..."

……

On the coffee table in the room, two cups of steaming coffee filled the air with mellow aroma.

Maori Kogoro and Okino Yoko sat across from each other. Maori Kogoro was a bit agitated, hammering his hand on the coffee table and indignantly saying, "What? Miss Yoko is being spied on by someone unknown?"

Okino Yoko, who had her curly hair tied into a ponytail, was startled by Maori Kogoro's reaction. "Yes, yes. Every time I go home, the furniture is in a different position. Also, I often receive strange photos and even silent phone calls every day. It's really scary."

"Damn it, how dare you do this to Miss Yoko." Kogoro Mouri clenched his fists.

"So, we would like to ask you to secretly investigate who is behind this." said the man standing behind Yoko Okino.

Maori Kogoro finally noticed him, his doubtful eyes tinged with a hint of hostility: "Who are you?"

The man took out his business card and said, "I'm Ms. Yoko's agent. My name is Yamagishi Sakae."

Maori Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief: "I understand. I will investigate it confidentially."

As he spoke, he quickly took out a piece of paper and a pen from his desk and handed them to Yoko Okino: "Then please write your address and phone number here. Also..."

He then pulled out a photo of Yoko Okino from somewhere, as if by magic: "By the way, please sign your name here. Remember to write it to Mr. Kogoro."

Xiaolan: "..."

Watanabe Toru: “…”

After understanding Yoko Okino's request, Kogoro Mori suggested going to Yoko Okino's residence on the grounds that a detailed investigation was needed.

After getting Okino Yoko's consent, Xiaolan asked with anticipation: "Can you take us with you? We also want to see where the stars live, right, Xiaotuo?"

"Yeah." Watanabe Toru nodded: "And I also want to see how uncle solves the case."

Although the plot deviates slightly, it does not deviate from one's own cognition. Even if Xiaolan doesn't say it, Watanabe Toru will ask to go along. This is an opportunity to earn points.

Kogoro Mouri hesitated for a moment. Deep down, he didn't want to bring two burdens along, as that would only affect his performance.

However, when Watanabe Toru said that he wanted to see how he handled the case, he finally gave in. After all, he had paid tuition.

"You must not interfere with my work and you must not cause trouble to others, okay?" Kogoro Mouri said seriously.

"Okay." Watanabe Toru and Xiaolan responded.

……

Yoko Okino's apartment.

When Yoko Okino took out the key to open the door, Kogoro Mouri was still chattering, telling Xiaolan and Toru Watanabe not to touch anything after entering the house.

But when Yoko Okino suddenly screamed, Kogoro Mouri immediately left the two of them and walked towards Yoko Okino.

"What's wrong, Miss Yoko?" Seeing Okino Yoko looking at the house in horror, Kogoro Mouri looked inside curiously, and his face changed in an instant.

Inside the house, a fat man was lying on the floor with a dagger stuck in his back. Blood flowed down the blade from the body and finally formed a pool of blood on the ground.

"Don't come in yet." Maori Kogoro's face was extremely solemn: "Tell Xiaolan, Xiaolan, contact the police immediately."

"Okay, okay..." Xiaolan took out her cell phone in a panic.

Twenty minutes later, the police arrived.

When Inspector Megure saw Kogoro Mouri greeting him, he looked at him unfriendly.

"It's you, Maori brother."

Kogoro Mouri had no idea that he was being disliked. When facing Inspector Megure, he actually recalled his days as a policeman.

Inspector Megure's face darkened even further, and he said unhappily, "It's because of you that every time we solve a case, it's like walking through a maze, and we're getting further and further away from the truth..."

Kogoro Mouri scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

PS: Please give me flowers and collect them. I wish all the bosses good fortune. The current flowers are 9300. If it exceeds 10,000 before noon tomorrow, I will update more.

063. The case was solved? Did I solve it?

After inspecting the scene and analyzing the case, Inspector Megure came to a conclusion. He stroked his chin, his gaze fixed on Okino Yoko: "Killing someone in a closed room means the murderer is the owner of this room."

"Inspector Megure, don't jump to conclusions so quickly." Maori Kogoro defended his idol and made excuses for Okino Yoko for no reason: "Ms. Yoko is so cute and adorable, how could she be the criminal?"

What kind of perverse logic is this...

The corner of Inspector Megure's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at Maori Kogoro: "So, what do you think, Maori brother?"

Maori Kogoro scratched his face: "Well..."

"Could it be a spare key?" Toru Watanabe, who had always been very obedient and stayed by Xiaolan's side, suddenly spoke.

Spare key?

Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then looked at Okino Yoko: "Ms. Yoko, besides you, who else has the key to your house?"

"As for a spare key, Mr. Yamagishi does have one," said Yoko Okino.

Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Yamagishi Ei and said loudly: "I know, the murderer is you, Mr. Yamagishi. You must have been dumped by Miss Yoko, so you want to take revenge on her, right?"

Yamagishi was shocked to be suddenly accused of a crime. "Yes, I do have a key. But I lost it three days ago."

"You're lying." Kogoro Mouri refused to believe it.

"It's true." Yamagishi said helplessly, "It happened in the TV station's lounge. Besides, I never dated Ms. Yoko, so how could we break up?"

"This..." Kogoro Mouri was speechless.

Watanabe Toru shook his head secretly. His uncle's unusual way of thinking was no different from that of a person who had suffered from cerebral thrombosis for ten years, except that he lacked a doctor's diagnosis certificate.

It’s better to solve the case as soon as possible, earn points and go home.

Toru Watanabe had some impression of this case. The deceased was Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend. Because they failed to reconcile and due to some misunderstandings, he developed resentment towards Yoko Okino and attempted to take revenge on her by committing suicide.

However, before the truth is revealed, there is another important person who needs to appear, otherwise some situations cannot be explained.

Watanabe Toru casually lay on the ground, looking under the sofa, and said in a childish tone: "Huh? Why is there an earring here?"

earrings?

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri, who was worried about not being able to find any other clues, immediately walked over and, under the guidance of Toru Watanabe, took out the earrings from under the sofa.

"Ah... these are Miss Yuko's earrings." Yoko Okino, who came over to see what was going on, recognized the owner of the earrings.

"Ms. Yuko?"

"That's Ms. Ikezawa Yuko, who debuted at the same time as me."

"So, Ms. Yuko is holding a grudge against Ms. Yoko because the female lead in the drama that originally belonged to her was taken away from her." Yamagishi Ei added.

Maori Kogoro was just worried about not being able to clear Okino Yoko of suspicion, but now the evidence and motive were right in front of him. He didn't think too much and immediately said, "Inspector Megure, it seems the truth is out. The culprit is Miss Ikezawa Yuko."

Inspector Megure's expression also turned serious: "Then let Miss Yuko come here as one of the suspects."

Kogoro Mouri was full of confidence, thinking that he had the evidence and that after Yuko Ikezawa came over, she would confess based on his reasoning.

But the reality was completely the opposite. After Yuko Ikezawa arrived, she sneered at Kogoro Mori's questioning.

"How ridiculous! Just based on an earring, you can conclude that I'm the murderer. What kind of logic is that?"

"The apartment manager said he saw someone who looked like me? That's just a resemblance. It's foolish to judge based on that."

Yuko Ikezawa's sharp words left Kogoro Mori speechless.

Toru Watanabe shook his head and controlled Kogoro Mori's thoughts with his mind.

……

Upon hearing that the deceased, Fujie Akiyoshi, had committed suicide, everyone present was shocked.

However, after Kogoro Mori pointed out the irrefutable evidence and the police found the diary in Fujie Akiyoshi's home, they finally had to believe that this was the truth.

Watanabe Toru withdrew his thoughts, and Maori Kogoro's eyes became clear again.

Then he saw Inspector Megure enthusiastically put his hands on his shoulders, his eyes full of admiration: "Brother Maori, I have a new respect for you..."

Kogoro Mori looked confused.

Before he could speak, Okino Yoko also said: "Mr. Maori, your reasoning is really brilliant..."

Kogoro Maori scratched his head.

What had I done? The case was solved? It seemed like I had solved it myself? But why didn't I have any recollection of it?

However, under Okino Yoko's admiring gaze, Maori Kogoro reacted very quickly, looking up and laughing, saying, "It's just a small case, how can it be so difficult for me, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, hahaha..."

064, Conan Enrolls

For this murder, the system awarded Watanabe Toru 2000 points: a guaranteed 1000 points plus an extra 1000 points for each victim. This was significantly less than the points earned from completing temporary activities, but even the smallest bit of money was still meat, and the world was in no shortage of murder.

As long as you help Kogoro Mouri gain popularity, it is equivalent to planting a cash cow for yourself.

……

The next day, it was cloudy.

As soon as Toru Watanabe walked into the classroom, he saw Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko gathered together with serious expressions as if they were discussing something.

Seeing Watanabe Toru coming in, Ayumi waved to him: "Come quickly, Toru, we are deciding something very important."

"What's the matter?" Toru Watanabe put down his schoolbag and moved over curiously.

"Xiao Che, after discussion, we are going to set up a Junior Detective Team." Yuan Tai said seriously, "I will be the leader, accepting commissions and helping clients solve various difficult cases."

"Huh?" Watanabe Toru opened his mouth.

So, the "Suicide Detective Team" was formed just like that? And from what they said, I was accepted as a member?

Without giving herself a chance to refuse, Ayumi continued, "Then to celebrate the establishment of our Junior Detective Team, let's go ghost hunting together tonight."

Catch...catch ghosts? Watanabe Toru's mouth twitched slightly.

"Okay." Yuan Tai was very excited and punched the air: "I agree."

"But there are no ghosts in this world." Mitsuhiko was still somewhat rational: "Those are just made up in comics or TV."

Genta didn't like what he heard. He grabbed Mitsuhiko's collar and said loudly in dissatisfaction: "So you mean Ayumi is talking nonsense?"

"No, I just..."

"Then let's come together tonight to see if there are ghosts in this world."

"By the way, where are you going to catch ghosts?" Watanabe Toru finally found an opportunity to interrupt.

Ayumi said, "It's in the old house on 4th chome. I heard that the owner was hacked to death in the house five years ago, and his wife and children moved away. Since then, the evil spirit has been living there. I heard from the neighbors who live nearby that they sometimes hear terrible noises in the middle of the night. There was once a stray dog ​​that broke into the house, and the next day, only a pile of bones were found. And... and last night when I passed by, I saw a ghostly light floating by the window. It was so scary."

If you think it's scary, then don't go. Watanabe Toru complained in his heart, he is really a novice and loves to play.
