Chapter 5: Dirty Deals

Conan was on the third floor, lying on the table, looking loveless.

accompanied a group of elementary school students to school, played detective games all day long, and encountered murders at two ends in three days, and was originally idle.

Occasionally, I don't know what to do.

At this time, he saw Xiaolan passing by with two cups of tea.

"It's so late, and there is still a commission?"

Looking at the window, the sky was already hazy, and the street lamps were lit up.

"It's evening, why don't you go down and see if there are any interesting commissions."

Thinking so, Conan moved his little short legs and went downstairs with a puff of smoke.

When he arrived, he saw a young man of eighteen or nineteen, sitting on a sofa, whispering something to Kogoro Maori.

From time to time, Kogoro Mori nodded his head intently, holding a notebook on which he jotted down something.

Instantly attracted Conan's curiosity.

"Rarely serious······ Uncle Maori even took out a notebook and a pen! ”

Pretending to be passing by, relying on his child's size, Conan ran over from the side and eavesdropped.

“······· That's it, it's all up to you! ”

Maori Kogoro grinned:

"Don't worry, rest assured, it's absolutely right to hand over this kind of little thing to me Maori Kogoro, I know a lot of friends from TV stations, and I often go on TV, so I will definitely be able to help you!"

It's a pity that Conan only heard one ending.

Then, disappointed, he ran over, pretending to look for the dropped pen from under the sofa, and stumbled upon a hardcover book placed by the man on the sofa, with the letters "DEATH NOTE" gilded on the cover on a black background.

"Death Note?"

He subconsciously read it out loud.

"Peng", a punch in the head.

Maori Kogoro grabbed him by the collar and yelled angrily at him:

"Little ghost, who allowed you to make trouble, don't you know if you don't want to move the guest's things casually?"

The spit stars splashed in Conan's face, who clutched the bag on his head in desperation.

Lin Zhengyang was surprised to find that a bulge the size of a date instantly appeared on Conan's head··········

It hurts······

It hurts just to look at it.

Conan was then thrown out···········

"Then, this matter is entrusted to you, the Maori detective, and this is your commission fee."

Turning around and taking out an envelope from his bag, Lin Zhengyang left with a half-bow.

In Japanese communication, bowing is a kind of etiquette, of course, there are also angles, half bowing is generally about the same, 90 degrees is generally more solemn.

After Lin Zhengyang left, Conan passed by unwillingly, but he didn't inquire about the specific content of the commission.

··········

Stepping on the night and enjoying the street scene, Lin Zhengyang's lips hooked a slight arc.

"What would you do? If you believe in materialism, you will definitely do your best to find out the truth about the incredible events in that city, right? ”

"When will you doubt me? I'm just an innocent fiction writer········"

"I'm waiting for you to find out who I am."

Even if it is discovered, it is not a big deal, after all, pretending to be a character in a novel can be regarded as a cosplay at best.

Kudo Shinichi's dad doesn't like to dress up as a character in his novels········

Even if it is discovered, it is nothing more than a self-hype, and this has been explained to Maori Kogoro in advance.

"commissioned Maori Kogoro, and when he was on the show, he deliberately proposed that he had seen the Grim Reaper in "Death Note" appear many times at the scene of the murder, which was purely a not very clever self-hype."

Everyone is doing this hype, and he is not the only one.

Even if Conan is in person, he can't say anything.

In the past two months, Lin Zhengyang has relied on his memory to buy heightened rubber shoes, cross-dressing props, dodging various road surveillance cameras visited in advance, and at various murder scenes, no less than 200 people have witnessed the image of death "wearing black robes".

"When I finally met Conan, he looked very different from an ordinary child, and if it was me, I should have doubted his identity a long time ago."

In the past two months, Lin Zhengyang has been running for a living.

After all, he is going to stay in this world for a long time, and although he has a lot of savings, it won't take a few years to sit on the mountain.

Instead of choosing the unprofitable profession of detective, he chose to become a novelist.

has submitted many articles, and "Death Note" was finally favored by a publishing house.

It is still being serialized········

Japan's crackdown on piracy is unimaginable to Chinese, so novelists often earn high royalties and high incomes.

At least, it's much more lucrative than the dwindling detective industry.

This time, in the name of commissioning, he actually just came to contact the protagonist, and at the same time, he was also throwing stones to ask for directions.

"Entrusting Kogoro Mori with investigating the emerging urban legend of the Grim Reaper, who is rumored to always take his soul away at the scene of a murder, must have caught the attention of Shinichi Kudo, a well-known high school detective, right?"

In many sightings, he was generally dressed differently.

Sometimes, he would take out a notebook with a black cover and write and draw, with "Death Note" written on the cover.

Sometimes, he would watch the murder scene in silence from the shadows, watching coldly, as if he were recording death.

No matter what kind of costume he was wearing, he was dressed in a black robe, cloak, mysterious and eerie, wandering through the night, hurrying to and fro, always waiting near the scene of death, as if waiting for the soul of the deceased···········

He even deliberately had several reporters take pictures of himself and then disappear without a trace before being treated as a suspicious suspect············

Coupled with some so-called "revelations" and "supernatural videos" on the Internet, it has successfully created a little popularity.

"Death Note", which was serialized in magazines, also became a little famous, and the image of the Grim Reaper in it coincided with those videos on the Internet.

In terms of time, there is "Death Note" first, and then there is urban legend············ It can be seen as a deliberate cosplay by fans.

"Prepare the ritual before being found by Conan······· Until then, maybe make a wave of big news! ”

As far as urban legends are concerned, they can't support a heroic spirit, at most they are phantoms.

The rumors of Jack the Ripper in England are a combination of the background of the times, countless children who were aborted and could not be born, plus a series of novels, and many years of influence.

Judging from the knowledge he obtained, the more well-known he was, the more stable and powerful the shaping spirit base would be.

The best, like the strange thief Kidd, is represented by decades of deep accumulated deeds, which can be regarded as nine out of ten.

Unfortunately, the conditions did not allow it······ With his current conditions, it is already the limit to do this.
