But the problem is, no one does this...
So, after discussing with Xiaolan, Miki and others, Sonoko quickly made a decision.
You must find ways to strike up a conversation with her, otherwise, by the time she really builds a barrier with everyone, it will be too late.
Fortunately, the result was good. She was neither a chuunibyou nor really bad at speaking.
It seems that he is just in a bad mood.
Thinking of this, Yuanzi added:
"If it's because of love, there are plenty of good men, don't worry about it at all. Look at Xiaolan, her boyfriend was killed by that brat Conan..."
"Garden!"
Just the word "boyfriend" made Xiaolan a little angry and embarrassed, let alone the words that followed.
"Shinichi isn't dead! He's still alive. Didn't we see him at the crime scene last week?"
"Who knows if it was someone else pretending to be him? Besides, he looked obviously abnormal at the time. It was obvious that he was harmed by Conan."
"That... that was just a coincidence. There's absolutely no basis for the idea of a plague god..."
Thinking of how Shinichi was weak and disappeared inexplicably that day, Mao Li Ran felt more and more guilty and could only lower her head and remain silent.
Sera Masumi sighed helplessly. She roughly knew what everyone was thinking, but she really didn't feel like it.
Two months have passed, all clues have been lost, and I don’t know if my mother is still alive?
"Um... do you know any great detectives in Tokyo? Not just any detective, but one with incredibly strong connections and abilities."
"detective?"
Sonoko and the others looked at Maori Ran at the same time.
"Well...my father isn't particularly impressive, so he probably wouldn't meet Sera-san's requirements."
Thinking of her father's previous confused appearance, Mao Lilan lost all confidence.
Even though he has become famous in the past few months, to be honest, it is only because Conan has a special physique and is more likely to encounter cases.
Ah… This thought is so rude, why am I starting to think about Conan like this…
"I remember your name is Mao Lilan?" Sera Masumi hesitated for a moment, and quickly recalled the names of those famous detectives, "Sleeping Kogoro?"
"Yes, Dad has indeed had such a reputation spread over the past few months."
Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, but still did not refuse:
"If Sera-san has something he wants help from a detective, I can certainly mention it, but I can't guarantee success."
"Having more people help find clues will always improve efficiency. Thank you for your help, Maori-san."
"You are welcome!"
Ran Maori smiled, quickly took out her cell phone and called Kogoro Maori.
"Dad, are you...busy now?"
Just as I was about to ask him where he was, I suddenly heard a lot of quarreling coming from the other side and quickly changed my question.
"I'm handling a case at 11 Beika-cho. What do you want from me?"
"Actually, my classmate wants to find a detective for help with something. I was wondering if you're available?"
"No problem, anytime after I'm done here."
"That's great, thanks Dad. By the way, is Conan there too?"
"How did you know?"
"... "
Sure enough, he is there.
Mao Lilan sighed helplessly. She had never thought about this before, but because of Bai Mu's words, she was forced to face up to Conan's existence.
If you think about it carefully, Conan was present in every case.
Moreover, to be honest, the decline in public security in Tokyo in the past few months only started after Conan appeared.
Before that, Tokyo's public security was quite good, with only one or two homicides occurring throughout the year.
"Dad, send us your location. We have nothing to do anyway, so we'll go look for you."
"That's fine, anyway, this place is not far from your school..."
"Thank you dad."
After the call ended, Mao Lilan looked at Sera Masumi with a hint of helplessness:
"Sera-san, do you want to go and see the scene? And by the way, check out my father's strength."
"Oh...? My pleasure."
Sera Masumi's eyes lit up. Being called a famous detective must not be a false reputation. She hoped that he really had the ability to live up to the reputation.
However, my wallet is not very thick, I wonder if I can afford to hire a famous detective?
If that doesn't work, ask my second brother for some money. He seems to have quite a bit of savings.
Chapter 96 Akai Mary: I’m sorry, I can’t go back
"I've said this many times, this is my first time here and I'm not familiar with this family at all."
Looking at the serious-faced Kogoro Mouri in front of her and the policeman watching him fiercely behind her, Mary Akai felt helpless.
I was so unlucky today. I went to deliver money to the target chosen by the group as usual, but I didn’t expect to encounter a murder case and become a suspect.
This family was also unlucky. Because they lost their job in middle age, the house they bought with a loan was auctioned off by the bank, and the elderly person in the family became seriously ill. It seemed hopeless.
But isn’t this the case of being selected by the group to become the target of assistance?
As long as you pass three easy tests and sign a decades-long contract, you can have a bright future again.
Unexpectedly, during the second assessment, they encountered a burglar and their entire family was killed.
"If you don't know them, why did you come to give them money? A huge sum like three million? This time, you must be giving them money again, right?"
Maori Kogoro suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at Akai Mari, and said in a half-threatening tone:
"So, you must be the murderer!"
"Give them money as an excuse to let their guard down and then take advantage of the situation..."
At this moment, Baimu suddenly walked out from behind Akai Mari and interrupted Maori Kogoro's reasoning:
"Mr. Maori, please don't say anything without basis. Miss Mary is an employee of our company. She is only here to help alleviate poverty."
"Where did you come from?"
Kogoro Mouri frowned slightly. How could the son of a wealthy family appear in such a place?
“What does poverty alleviation mean?”
"It's exactly what it says. Miss Mary, didn't you tell them what your job is?" Bai Mu turned to look at Akai Mary.
"Is this something that can be said?"
"Why can't we tell you? We haven't done anything bad."
"what…"
Mary Akai was speechless. Indeed, she had a preconceived notion.
I feel that nothing good will happen as long as I'm involved with the organization. Even though I'm doing my normal job, I always feel guilty that I'm doing something bad.
"Mr. Maori, I'm a poverty investigator for a company affiliated with the Fujimine Group. I'm responsible for investigating particularly poor families. Based on the results of the investigation, I give money to those families."
"Why have I never heard of this job? What are you trying to do?" Megure Jusan couldn't help but ask, "Doing charity?"
"Of course not, we will send money to needy families three times and conduct surveys while sending money to see how they use the money.
If the family works hard and uses the money reasonably, and the review is passed after three times, we will sign a corresponding funding agreement with the family.
Our group will take care of your work, medical treatment, and schooling.
But on the other hand, you will have to work for the group company for the rest of your life. You will be a member of the company in life and a ghost of the company in death."
Snapped…!
Bai Mu couldn't help but knocked her on the forehead and said unhappily:
"Don't add drama without permission. The last sentence is superfluous."
"Yes..." Akai Mary lowered her head silently.
At the same time, he unconsciously complained in his heart.
Is this the truth?
Use money to buy the other person's life.
"The way you do this..." Kogoro Mouri frowned, not knowing what to say.
It is really difficult to comment on this approach.
Using money to buy someone's life is undoubtedly trampling on human dignity, but it is not illegal because both parties are willing.
Moreover, some families are indeed in great difficulty and can easily end up in despair.
There are so many people committing suicide every year, how many of them do it because of money?
In the desperate period when you have nothing, if someone gives you money and arranges a job for you, you will probably wake up laughing in your dreams.
After all, for some families, freedom is the most luxurious word. If possible, they will definitely not hesitate to exchange freedom for money.
At this moment, Conan no longer looked for clues, but just stared at the white screen.
The sense of déjà vu of facing the old enemy and the big boss became stronger and stronger.
I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but he must be a better "Professor" than Moriarty.
"What is your goal? To conquer the world? Or to establish a dark empire?"
"Anyone who wants to conquer the world is mentally ill. As for me... I just want my family to be able to sleep peacefully and spend every day in peace."
"Being contented is the best way to be happy. The human heart is never satisfied. If you want to be forever at peace and free from worries, I'm afraid the only way is to lie in a coffin."
"Haha...that makes sense, but what if I insist?"
"Whatever you want to do, as long as it doesn't harm others, you are free. But if you break the law, I will bring you to justice."
"Really? Then come up to me first and tell me."
"That day will come."
Conan's intuition told him that the other party was hiding very deeply, and might even have been stained black for a long time.
But detectives need evidence.
Ultimately, it's all just Conan's intuition.
"Uncle, come with me."
"it is good."
Knowing that he might have a clue, Kogoro Mouri did not hesitate and hurriedly followed.
Ever since I confronted the little devil, I haven't been pricked by a needle again. All I have to do is tell him, which is much more convenient.
I used to get pricked often, and there was a large red area on my neck.
Megure Jusan stared blankly at the backs of the two people leaving, thinking:
Nowadays, children speak so coherently, could those be lines from a TV series?
Akai Mary's expression froze for a moment, then she suddenly reacted and subconsciously looked at the white screen.
He didn't look like the type to play with children, and the child didn't look like a child either.
"You...he, isn't he in the same situation as me?"
"Almost the same. The difference is, you're domesticated, and he's free-range."
"really……"
