Chapter 202: The Visitor
It's been two days since I returned to this world, and I've had my first weekend off from work.
Since there were no murder victims, Ogata spent his days in the office surfing the Internet, which also gave him time to get used to going back.
Life is calm and stable, and you can sum up the things of your daily life in three words. Driving to work, having dinner with Sato at noon, and going home at night to eat and rest, although it is simple, it is full of cuteness.
However, people are always very conflicted and seek excitement in a comfortable environment. In a world where excitement and tension can kill you at any time, you are full of yearning for a quiet and peaceful life.
To take the simplest example, when office workers are working hard, they crave vacations, and it is better not to have to go to work again. But once you take a vacation, you look forward to when the vacation will end and you can go back to work early.
And Ogata felt that his mentality was slowly tending to this contradiction.
It's the weekend, but something special is arranged.
I promised Ran to accompany her to the mall today, so Ogata got up early in the morning to run, and after buying breakfast, he ran to the bank's ATM and took out some cash and put it in his wallet.
Xiaolan's monthly expenses and living expenses are given to her by Maori Kogoro, because she has to buy ingredients and daily necessities, so it is estimated that it is difficult to buy two or three clothes with the money left for her to spend.
With a daughter like Yuanzi, Xiaolan never asked her to buy anything for herself. And Ogata didn't listen to Xiaolan complain about what the garden bought, but he didn't. She is a sensible girl, and she knows very well that her material needs are not high, and there is no reason to compare with the daughter of a consortium.
Despite this, Xiaolan is at the age of loving to dress up and be beautiful. But what Ogata saw that Ran wore the most was a high school student's school uniform.
In her closet, there are only a few pieces that have been turned over and turned over. Ogata wants to take advantage of today's shopping opportunity to buy a few clothes for Xiaolan, just as a cousin's love for his sister.
Back in his room, Ogata found a blue clover T-shirt to put on, and a pair of slim-fitting jeans on the bottom half. It's been a long time since he's dressed so casually, because he's a forensic doctor, and it's the Metropolitan Police Department that goes in and out.
In a world where there are a lot of uniforms or suits, wearing such a suit and walking around, it is estimated that in addition to being eye-catching and attention-grabbing, you will also receive the above punishments.
As for the shoes
He couldn't wear such casual clothes with leather shoes.
In order to go out for a run in the morning, he bought three pairs of Forrest Gump of different colors, and at this time, he turned out a pair of unworn ones from the shoe box at the bottom of the wardrobe.
Wearing such a dress, Ogata looked in the mirror and felt like a makeover.
Or if they are dressed young, the whole person's smile is a little more energetic and youthful, and it is closer to a student of their age like Xiaolan.
Just as he was changing his clothes, his keen sense of hearing told him that an outsider had come to the living room of the office. It should be a customer received by Uncle Kogoro.
Pushing open his door, Ogata stepped out.
In the living room, in addition to the drunken Mori Kogoro sitting in an office chair, in front of his desk, stood a tall, thin young man. And Xiaolan and Conan were right next to him, looking at him with strange expressions.
This is probably the outsider who Ogata heard the voice, and the customer who came to the door.
Observing a stranger leads to a lot of things from the details.
Ogata's eyes swept over the young man's expression and behavior, dismissing his previous speculation. He shouldn't have asked Uncle Maori to help with the investigation, or a customer asking for help.
Because his gaze was floating from beginning to end, he did not focus on Mori Kogoro to seek the latter's statement.
It's more about falling on Xiaolan, paying attention to her expression.
If a man admires a woman, most of them will choose to focus their eyes on the lower left and right for fear of misunderstanding or disgust, and there is a 65% probability that this situation will occur in the next meeting, especially for men and women who are dating.
But the young man's observation and even observation was more skillful to avoid embarrassing points, and when he laughed, his eyes would move to Xiaolan's face to distract the latter. During normal communication, his gaze would move to other places, and then at the point of reflection or pause, his gaze would refocus on what he was trying to capture in Xiaolan.
Ogata stood with interest on the side of the living room, unnoticed in the corner.
There are three possibilities for people who are able to observe and communicate in this way.
Good communicator. For example, actors, sales, will be in contact with all kinds of people for a long time, and their eyes will form their own style after continuous adjustment and exercise.
I've read the same books as Ogata, and I've studied technical topics like micro-expressions. Once you understand it, you will form a concept in your mind about what you have to do in order to gain knowledge level.
As for the third
This kid has experience in criminal investigation.
He kept an eye on Ran, while Ogata looked at him, looking at what he was wearing without deliberately drawing attention to him, with a gaze that was also very good for observers.
Navy blue jacket with a black sweater underneath
Ogata's lips twitched slightly, and his gaze wandered.
It is well dressed and thick, and it obviously does not meet the indoor and outdoor temperatures in Tokyo.
At this time, the area where the weather turns cold should not be in Kanto.
His backpack is a very expensive mountaineering brand, and the economic conditions are naturally not bad.
And his standing posture, which will not be a police officer or a soldier, has been systematically trained.
These observations were only made for a few seconds, and before his sense of vigilance could be raised, Ogata had an initial impression of the young man.
"Shinichi Kudo, is it really not with you?"
The young man asked Xiaolan.
It's true that this kid speaks Japanese, and it's very standard, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear the subtle differences between regions.
His articulation will have a short transposition at the end, and Ogata, who has practiced the piano, and with a good sense of hearing, it is easy to distinguish the accent of this kid, which does not belong to the Kanto region, but is the usual way of speaking in the Kansai region.
"Oh?" What really cared Ogata was that as soon as the young man opened his mouth, he asked a very sensitive name.
Kudo Shinichi, I'm here, and only Ogata knows this.
Subconsciously looking at Conan, Ogata saw that Conan was also very puzzled, obviously not recognizing the man who came to the door.
"I've said it all, Shinichi isn't here." Xiaolan explained helplessly that she had made an appointment to go shopping with her cousin, but early in the morning, this inexplicable guy came to the door and said that Kudo Shinichi was hidden by her in the office.
The young man asked, "When was the last time you were in contact?" ”
Confidence, but also attitude, and the expression when speaking.
Ogata has no need to continue guessing, this kid should be a confident detective. Anyone who is this kind of person either reads too many novels, or is proud of his talents.
"Xinyi him" Xiaolan actually didn't want to answer, but he was really difficult to entangle, and he lost a lot of time.
These days, she really suffers from the wait and that feeling of being indescribable.
I go to school during the day and go home at night, in addition to the memory fragments with Shinichi, I will slowly emerge in my head, and more and more cousins will look like them.
Conan showed some complicated expressions, the last time he contacted Xiaolan was a week ago, he lied to her, saying that he was investigating a case and was too busy to get out. Looking back now, there is guilt and regret. The guilt is because I had to tell a lie to deceive the woman I love. I regret it because I cherish Kudo Shinichi's identity, and I have been with Xiaolan for so long, and I have never been in front of her, and I have never shown the emotions buried in my heart.
"Shinichi, not here."
A sudden voice said softly to this dark-skinned young man with his eyes staring at Xiaolan's confident face.
Well?
He looked over, and a man dressed younger than him, with an indifferent expression, walked over slowly.
"Cousin." Xiaolan was stunned when she saw Ogata appear, thinking that it was their conversation that caused the cousin who was changing clothes in the room.
She soon noticed, though.
Today's cousin is very different
"You look familiar." The young man's eyes under the brim of his hat did not blink, and he looked directly at Ogata on the other side.
Ogata was noncommittal and asked with a smile, "Shinichi Kudo owes you money?" ”
"Huh?" The young man was stunned.
He was still thinking about who this man really was, and where he had seen this face. At this time, when I heard Ogata's question, my thoughts were completely staggered, and I didn't connect to the right place.
And Conan rolled his eyes, he didn't believe that with his cousin's ability, he wouldn't be able to see that he didn't know this stinky boy who couldn't beat the eight poles.
Xiaolan was a little surprised, how could Shinichi owe money? Could it be that he avoided himself in order to avoid debts, how could this be his parents
The young man coughed, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Heiji Hattori, and I am a high school detective!" Actually, I was looking for him to visit Kudo Shinichi and see what kind of guy your high school detective in the Kanto region is as famous as me. ”
He was a detective, and Ran looked at the young man named 'Heiji Hattori' in surprise.
Conan was stunned, a little suddenly, after a long time, this stinky boy is also a detective, and he thought that he came to find him for some other purpose.
Maori Kogoro said drunkenly at this time: "What a high school detective, just a stinky little ghost." (To be continued...)
