Chapter 4: The mysterious Kogoro Maori
"Excuse me, how long will it take to get to the Rice Flower Town Mori Office?"
In the taxi, a shy teenager with capable short hair leaned forward slightly and asked the middle-aged uncle driving in front.
Glancing at the young man through the rearview mirror, the driver's uncle smiled:
"Cornamachi Mori Office, Mori Kogoro Detective House at 5-chome 39 Rice Flower Town, right?"
"Yes, it's the sleeping detective, Mr. Kogoro Mori."
The young man nodded a little excitedly.
His hands clenched nervously, sometimes loosened, sometimes clenched, showing the excitement in his heart.
"The Maori detective is the pride of our rice flower town, and since he became famous, there have been several times more customers in this generation····· Are you going to commission it too? ”
The young man scratched his head embarrassedly:
"That's right, I have some special commissions to give him."
"That's right······"
The driver's uncle was very discerning and did not ask about the specific content of the commission.
Generally speaking, it is not a good thing to entrust a detective.
Private investigators are generally privately commissioned to investigate extramarital affairs, search for people, find lost property, trade secrets, and so on for their employers.
They often wander in the gray areas on the edge of the law.
In fact, many times, it is not as glamorous as it seems to outsiders.
From an objective point of view, the relationship between the police and the detective is not particularly good········· Because many times, in order to complete the commission, detectives often use tracking, voyeurism, lockpicking and other means to collect evidence, and these are often crazy temptations on the edge of breaking the law········· It's no joke to get caught red-handed!
Mori Kogoro used to be a veteran criminal police officer and had a lot of connections in the Tokyo Police Headquarters, which is the real reason why he was able to participate in various murders and run a detective agency leisurely - it is unlikely that other unknown detectives will be as easy to fool as he is.
The exception is the well-known great detectives, who can often be hired as police consultants to solve some difficult cases.
After all, with the development of the times, the means of committing crimes are becoming more and more varied, and the police need to seek external assistance, such as forensic doctors and other professionals, in order to improve the rate of solving crimes.
In fact, small detective agencies that are not well-known survive by investigating extramarital affairs, second wives, affairs, divorce evidence, third-party investigations, employee investigations, commercial anti-counterfeiting, etc.
Detectives who can really often participate in criminal cases and make a big show are often the exception among the exceptions.
Detectives are also human beings, and they are also afraid of retribution, and they are not willing to accept any commission········ Even if they really accept the commission of the police and solve a big case, most of them will not leave their names, unless they are sure that there will be no follow-up retaliation·········
Everyone wants fame, the problem is, you have to survive first.
When the detective doesn't know when to keep a low profile, what commission can't be accepted, is the way to die.
Mori Kogoro is well versed in this, and in addition to being forced to passively get involved in criminal cases under the aura of death, he generally accepts commissions for extramarital affairs investigations and investigations of lost property.
In fact, the main business scope of detectives is extramarital affair investigation and evidence collection.
The taxi arrived at the Maori Detective Agency in no time.
The office is located in 39 5-chome, Yone-cho, Yone-shi, Tokyo, and is a private detective agency run by Kogoro Mori.
It has been in business for ten years, and it is also one of the places with the most appearances in anime.
Eye-catching signboard, erected on it.
The first floor is the Polo Coffee Shop, and the second floor is the office.
The café is not run by Kogoro Mori.
Kogoro Mori frequented the restaurant and had a good relationship with the owner, and the Mori family often dined there.
There is a waitress in the shop, named Azusa Enomoto, 23 years old, who is enthusiastic about her work.
In addition, the Japanese public security police planted an undercover agent in the black-clothed organization Toru Amuro (real name: Zero Valley; Codename: Bourbon) also works here.
This is undoubtedly one of the most important places in the world.
When I went up to the second floor and entered the office, the first thing I heard was the voice of Kogoro Mori.
"Excuse me, excuse me·······"
Mori Kogoro was drinking beer while watching TV, and when he saw the guests coming, he shouted:
"Lan, Lan, the guest is here, quickly pour tea for the guest!"
Lin Zhengyang sat down on the sofa by himself and greeted politely and solemnly:
"Hello, Mr. Maori!"
Although the man in front of him was completely a decadent uncle, he didn't dare to be careless at all.
Although he didn't watch all of Conan's more than 900 episodes, he also knew that this seemingly ordinary uncle was not simple at all.
Not to mention that he was a senior criminal policeman ten years ago, a black belt in judo, very accurate marksmanship, and rich experience in handling cases, even he himself is also very mysterious.
Why?
According to the work, the tranquilizer gun developed by Dr. Asa for Conan can even bring down elephants, and what he wants is to take effect quickly, and whoever shoots will fall.
Because Conan has long used Kogoro as a vocal puppet, Kogoro is shot most frequently in his works.
According to statistics, Kogoro has been shot more than 150 times, and it will obviously continue to increase, since the story of "Conan" is actually less than a year after the timeline according to the setting, the dose of anesthetic ingested by Kogoro in this year is a bit exaggerated.
We all know that the effect of a fixed dose of medicine on people is gradually diminished when used for a certain period of time, and this is effective for everyone in the real world.
But for Mori Kogoro, it doesn't seem to be so applicable, he has to be shot with an anesthetic needle almost every day, but no matter how it changes over time, he almost always reacts the same, and after being shot by an anesthetic needle, he immediately sits down.
On a few occasions, Mori Kogoro still said a few words after being injected with anesthetic injections, but the ending was still the same - a deep sleep. Normally, after Kogoro Maori was hit by Conan's anesthetic needle, the time from being shot to falling asleep would be longer, and the time of coma would be shortened. This creates a very unreasonable place, and only one situation can make sense, and that is that Mori Kogoro is sometimes pretending to be dizzy.
There is a clear time in episode 308 when Conan speaks in a Maori voice before Maori is dizzy········· Afterwards, Maori Kogoro didn't suspect it at all, and he really couldn't explain the former senior criminal policeman, unless he was really pretending to be dizzy!
In the episode of the conspiracy on the MV-9 level, Mori discovers the real culprit before Conan. He usually doesn't care, and when he sees a murderer who looks similar to his wife, he shows his true colors.
In the theatrical version of "Countdown to Heaven", the garden and the junior detective group were trying out a machine that could be predicted to look like in 10 years, and Conan naturally flashed, but Maori forced him to try, and it can be seen that Maori is very likely to know Conan's true identity.
Maori has always had a bad attitude towards Conan, but it seems that Conan never offended him, most likely because he knew that Conan was the high school student Shinichi Kudo who made Ran sad.
Kogoro dating the murder Mori simply pretended to sleep himself, and Conan was the only one with him before, apparently aware of what Conan was doing·········
As long as there are only two people, Conan and Kogoro, Kogoro's attitude towards Conan changes greatly, like a partner who solves a case together. And every time Conan came to Kogoro very seriously and told him what he had discovered, Kogoro would believe it.
In many episodes, the uncle will say something after being injected, such as: "Ah! I'm going to get started! Or, "Ahh The sleeping Kogoro has appeared! And "You're so ruthless!" Let me take a sip first! Or "Again, why so suddenly!" Anyway, say hello first! ”···········
The anesthetized Mori Kogoro always seems to be consciously looking for a wall or a chair·········
With so many small details, it can be proved that Maori Kogoro has long discovered Conan's true identity - don't forget, Kudo Shinichi is a childhood sweetheart with Xiaolan, Maori Kogoro watched him grow up, he fully knows what Kudo Shinichi looked like when he was a child, not to mention that there are many photos as evidence, even an ordinary person should have suspected it a long time ago!
It is very likely that Mori Kogoro had already passed the qi with Dr. Asasa, and the anesthetic needles in the later stage were actually ineffective.
This is the best and most perfect explanation that can explain why Mori Kogoro did not develop resistance to anesthetic needles.
If this explanation is true, then what exactly did Kogoro Mori do all this for?
Simply not revealing Conan's true identity will not do the situation any good, after all, the Maori family has been living in the whirlpool for a long time (there is Amuro Toru working downstairs····· And he is lurking undercover in the organization).
This makes him seem a little mysterious.
