Chapter 97: Can you give me some useful props?
Butterfly Shinobu wiped the desk not very skillfully, and after Conan completely disappeared into the doorway, he chuckled, "It's not good to cheat children." ”
"He's a ball kid, and he looks young, and he may be older than you when he counts his age."
Shiraishi walked past her to the sink, intending to fetch herself a glass of water.
Since he arrived at KTV, he has never touched a sip of water, mainly because he is worried about drinking fake drugs by mistake - everything that comes out of the system is a little unguardable, and Shiraishi still remembers the capsule in the amusement park that will pass through the bottle.
Sure enough, I still drink my own water freely...... Of course, before leaning over the cup to catch the water, Shiraishi carefully let the water flow for a while to prevent any strange medicinal powder from being stained on the mouth of the water pipe.
After drinking the water and putting down the cup, Bai Shi looked at the pile of strange-shaped finished medicines next to the counter, he didn't bother to distinguish them, anyway, after putting them in the backpack, the medicines would be automatically stacked and classified.
It may be that he has to go hungry and starve after running for the mission goal today, and his life is a bit hard, but this time the reward is not a shabby - Shiraishi is happy to mention 50,000 yen, and even opened a fragment of Terarahara Mari's memories.
The N-class fragments are pitted on the outside, like an unburned glass ball, and in the blurred section, the shadow of an ordinary-looking girl faintly emerges, but when you look closely, you can't see anything.
After playing for a while, Shiraishi put the fragment in his backpack and looked at the prop he had touched.
He originally thought that this time it would be something disguise-like, or a little more daring, he would give a one-time anti-death pill or something.
However, what was drawn out was:
[[Special] Affectionate Call]
【Type: Consumables】
[Use: When this item is enabled, affectionately evoke the target's name, and the target will rush to you at any cost, and the effect will be lifted after the user and the target hug affectionately]
[Note: As a good person who pays attention to morality, you should not be vexatious, when using, the target must be in your field of vision, and your shouts are heard]
“……”
Whoever loves this kind of thing wants it!
Strange props +1, fortunately, there are memory fragments to make up for the pain in his heart...... Shiraishi sighed haggardly and threw it into the corner of his backpack.
……
Tatsuya Kimura is a popular star in his own right, and what happened to him is too weird.
Therefore, although he has tried to keep it a secret for himself, the agent is not in the state, the company whose contract is about to expire has no intention of publicizing him, and there are people in the police station who are not strong-mouthed, all kinds of gossip about this matter quickly occupied the major entertainment newspapers, and even the unpopular magazines of the supernatural were published.
The paparazzi used many ways to dig up the news, and even Shiraishi, the "case cracker", was dug up.
Although because no one died, he could not be regarded as finding the real culprit, judging from the appearance of Mari Terahara when he walked out of the police station, many people believed that his speculation was correct.
Because of this incident, the case of Yoko Okino's family was also brought up in the past, and Shiraishi actually made a strange wave of fame...... It seems that not only detectives are powerful in this world, but the power of the paparazzi is not too much.
A few days later, after sending away the tabloid reporters with "I don't know", "I haven't heard", and "I don't quite understand what you mean", Shiraishi returned home with a boxed lunch and newspaper he bought from a convenience store, ready to live a stay-at-home life.
As for the mission, let the cat and the mask go out for a run.
The first is that I don't want to be asked by Tatsuya Kimura's fanatical fans about the current situation of my idol, and the second is that it has suddenly become winter these days, and it is so cold that if nothing happens, Shiraishi himself is happy to hibernate happily in a heated place.
Lying down on the couch, spreading out the magazines and snacks and reading them for a while, and after folding all the information with his name in a corner, Shiraishi looked at the one he had bought.
If you can't go to a video game city or travel on foot, then be a quiet otaku and enrich your spiritual world.
The hot-selling impurity recommended by the clerk is "Literary Era", and now it is serializing "Resurrection!" by the new name Rentaro! Detective Left Text" is said to be a sequel to the Left Text series from ten years ago.
Shiraishi has some interest in reasoning, and he always feels like he's heard of the name "Detective Left Script".
In addition, everyone else has a high regard for this book, which should be really good-looking, so in addition to "Literary Times", Shiraishi also bought an extra set of physical books of the old version of "Detective Left Text" and brought it home.
I don't know what kind of cases the detectives in the detective world will tell...... Shiraishi threw a potato chip into his mouth, clicked and chewed, and turned the book over the page.
……
"Don't worry too much, we've contacted the editorial office, and we get signed manuscripts on time every week. Moreover, since you haven't received any distress messages or blackmail calls, I think Ling Zun Lingtang just went out for a walk. ”
Looking at the depressed and emaciated girl opposite, the Dusk Police Department sighed: "Anyway, in this case, we can't search publicly, I'm sorry." ”
Shina Kahori nodded sadly, reluctantly thanked him, and walked out of the police station.
Her parents had been missing for two months, and before leaving, all they left was a note that read "Let's go out for a bit."
Father's Resurrection! Detective Left Text began serialization about two months ago, and as the Twilight Police Department said, new manuscripts would arrive in the editorial office on time every Saturday.
In the eyes of the new name Kaobaori, this is the only proof that his father is still alive, but it is precisely because of this that whether it is calling the police or looking for a private detective, after the other party finds that there are few clues, the reply given is much the same as the twilight police department just now.
But even so, it is impossible for her to give up looking for her parents.
Passing by a convenience store, Shinna Kahori inadvertently glances in, and through the clear window, she sees a newspaper shelf. The content of the top newspaper made her hesitate and stopped.
If a private investigator is worried that he will not be able to solve the case and his reputation will be affected, he will not accept such a commission...... What about the others who are good at solving crimes?
……
Shiraishi is alarmed by an explosion in the café.
He threw it away, hung up his mask, put on gloves, picked up the fire extinguisher, and walked out in horror to see that the pressure cooker he bought a few days ago had been scrapped, and a puddle of viscous dark green liquid was flowing from the bottom of the pot, which was daunting.
Of course, there was a strange smell in the store, and as the butterflies were busy wiping the liquid that had spilled around them, Shiraishi quickly ran to the door, pushed the door open, and took a deep breath...... Then he choked and coughed.
Just as he was raising his hand and flickering around his mouth and nose, a mid-to-high-end sedan drove from a distance and stopped in front of the curb in front of the coffee shop.
Shiraishi looked up and saw a bloated woman in a black trench coat and black gloves stepping out of the car.
She had short, permed black hair, a fat face with a standard double chin, and sharp glasses on the bridge of her nose — in short, she didn't look like a good person by the standards of this world.
