05. Guess
Although Emiya had discovered that this world was actually a world of detectives and strange thieves, he didn't have much of an idea, feeling that these things didn't have much to do with him.
Whether it was Lupin III, the Strange Thief Gentleman, or the Cat's Eye Sisters, the Guard had no intention of recruiting them.
Lupin the Third only worked for himself, the three cat-eye sisters stole everything from their father's collection, and the strange thief gentleman was haunted, God knows where this guy was.
And compared to the strange thief Kidd, Wei Gong felt that this strange thief gentleman was more in line with the character of the strange thief.
After all, when people appear in front of Kanedaichi, most of them use other people's faces.
And Kidd the Strange Thief ......
Of course, this probably has something to do with the fact that Kidd is also a protagonist, after all, if the protagonist keeps using other people's faces, there is no sense of substitution.
Just as Emiya was fascinated by the investigation, a small child pushed open the door and walked in.
"Doctor, Doctor, are you home?"
When Emiya heard this voice, he couldn't help but look up, and at a glance he saw a familiar person.
Edogawa Conan.
Of course, Edogawa Conan also saw Emiya sitting on the sofa with a computer, and couldn't help but be startled, "You, why did you guys appear here?" ”
Dr. Asa stood up and asked with a look of surprise, "Ahh ”
"Doctor, why is he at your house?"
"Because he's my boss now, of course." Dr. Asa said as a matter of course.
Conan couldn't help but be stunned, "Boss, doctor, he's a thief." ”
"Thief?" Emiya looked at Conan with a smile, "It seems that you have solved the idol case and found the truth." ”
Conan nodded and said, "That's right, as you said, that guy did commit suicide, but that doesn't explain why you showed up there, the only answer is that you are a thief who specializes in sneaking into Yoko Okino's house to steal." ”
"That's what you think of me." Emiya said with a chuckle.
Dr. Asa thought it was very funny, and hurriedly said, "Conan, what are you talking about, how can my boss be a thief, he is not short of money at all." ”
Conan couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yes, I'm not a thief."
"And who are you?" Conan asked.
Wei Gong asked rhetorically: "Aren't you a great detective, then you can guess who I am, and if you guess correctly, I can give you a reward." ”
Conan's gaze shrank violently.
"Do you know who I am?" He couldn't help but look at Dr. Asasa, after all, Dr. Asasa knew his true identity.
Dr. Asasa quickly shook his head, "It's not me, it's not me. ”
"It's not Dr. Asasa indeed, as for how I know your identity, you can guess." Emiya put down the laptop in his hand and looked at Conan for a long time.
Conan stared at the emiya and said slowly, "You give me a strange feeling. ”
"What's weird."
"You know me."
"Yes, I do know you."
Conan shook his head and said, "No, I mean to say, you know me after the shrunk, and the moment you saw me, you once showed an expression of sudden realization, and then recognized Uncle Kogoro and Ran. ”
"And then." Emiya asked.
"It's like you see a familiar character and then recognize other characters." Conan said.
Wei Gong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, did he observe quite carefully.
Conan continued: "Later, when you see Yoko Okino again, you suddenly realize that you explain the causes and consequences of the victim's suicide, giving people the feeling as if you have seen it before. ”
"But whether it's Yoko Okino or that agent, they don't know you guy."
"So you give me a strange feeling, like a reader who reads a book and suddenly enters a book."
Wei Gong couldn't help but applaud, "It's worthy of being a detective, you guessed it accurately, I didn't expect me to leak so many flaws." ”
However, Conan didn't have a little excited expression to reveal the truth, he only felt a toothache, this thought had already hovered in his mind, and he always wanted to deny it, but now looking at Emiya's expression, it seems that ......
"So, I'm really just a character in a book?" Conan decides to face the facts, though nothing frustrates him more than that.
"Comics, to be exact." Emiya said,
"It doesn't matter."
"The name of the comic is Detective Conan."
"So, I'm still a protagonist." Conan felt that he should be happy, but why couldn't he be happy at all.
Dr. Asa said, "What about me? ”
"A very important supporting role, a tool man who provides Conan with various tools to solve crimes." Emiya said.
"Well, I see, it's very much in line with my status as a genius inventor."
"Doctor, isn't that a nice thing to do?" Conan couldn't help but complain.
Dr. Asasa said, "Why? ”
"Because our every move is designed by others, even the case I solved." This is what makes Conan the most unhappy.
He's just a cartoonist's tool.
"Do you think you know that you are a protagonist and something that someone else has designed?" Dr. Asa asked.
Conan:......
Emiya said, "If you want, I can take you to the real world and let you meet the manga artist." ”
"Can you even do that?" Conan was stunned.
"Of course." Emiya nodded.
"Can I really go meet the cartoonist?" Conan seemed to be a little excited.
"That's right, it's my reward for you."
However, at the mention of the reward, Conan's originally excited expression suddenly disappeared, and he quickly calmed down, "Forget it." ”
"Why don't you want to?"
Conan said as a matter of course: "A child who claims to be the protagonist of the cartoonist's pen, and when he appears in front of the cartoonist, he will only be regarded as a fanatical fan by the other party, and no one will believe that I am the real Conan, rather than wasting this reward, it is better to make good use of this reward." ”
Wei Gong couldn't help but admire: "You are very calm." ”
"It's the most sensible choice."
"So, what reward do you want?" Emiya admits that he has a little curiosity.
"I'd like to swap this reward for a couple of questions, is that okay?" Conan asked tentatively.
"Yes." Emiya nodded.
"Then tell me why I became a child."
"Don't you know this, taking a drug called APTX4869, this drug can kill people invisibly, but occasionally will make the body of the person taking the drug return to childhood."
Wei Gong said with a smile: "Don't doubt it, you are this lucky one, to be honest, if this medicine is perfected, it can be used as a rejuvenation drug, it is simply the gospel of mankind." ”
Conan's face twitched a few times, and he admitted it, but he was still curious, "Who invented this medicine?" ”
"Shiho Miyano, a genius female scientist."
"Where is she now?"
"Don't worry, it won't be long before she appears in front of you." Emiya said.
Conan was shocked, "She found out who I am." ”
"That's right."
"She's from that organization too?"
"You're talking about the winery, that's right."
"What the hell is a distillery?" The corners of Conan's mouth twitched.
Emiya said: "Because the people in this organization use the name of the liquor as the code name, what gin, vodka, tequila, sherry, so we like to call this organization a distillery. ”
Conan said, "What is Shiho Miyano's code name? ”
"Shirley."
"What will she do to me?" That's what Conan values.
Emiya said: "You don't have to worry about this, Shiho Miyano doesn't have a good impression of the brewery, and he will soon defect, and after taking the drug, he will become a child as small as you and stay at the doctor's house." ”
"What, Doctor?" Conan was startled at first, and then reacted, "No wonder you're here, it turns out that you're eyeing this woman in addition to the doctor." ”
Wei Gong said as a matter of course: "A high-tech talent who can even invent rejuvenation and rejuvenation medicine is a matter of course for being targeted." ”
Conan:......
He felt that this sentence made sense, and he couldn't refute it at all.
"Is her presence really not harmful to me?" Conan was still a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, there is no enmity between you and Gray Yuanai, but there is a common enemy."
When Dr. Asa heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is Gray Plains?" ”
Emiya explained: "Gray Yuan Ai is Miyano Shiho, of course she can't use her original name after she gets smaller, so she uses the name Gray Yuan Ai. ”
"Gray Plains, what kind of broken name is this." Conan couldn't help but laugh, he now had an inexplicable hostility towards the woman who had invented drugs to make herself smaller.
"It's better than you, Conan Edogawa." Emiya rolled his eyes and said.
"Hey, hey, there's something wrong with that name, I've racked my brains to come up with it."
"It's obvious that you were forced into a corner, and then you saw Edogawa Ranbu's book, combined with the name of your favorite author of Sherlock Holmes, and you came up with a name by chance, and you even had the face to say that you racked your brains." Emiya couldn't help but complain.
Damn, did that guy even draw this scene? Conan only felt a little ashamed, and in order to cover this up, he coughed and quickly changed the subject, "Let's talk about Gray Plains, what kind of person she is." ”
"Relatively calm, everything is stable, with a keen mind, unpredictable thoughts, accustomed to hiding inner emotions, and slightly annoyed when someone sees through the fragility of a certain part of his heart."
Emiya said.
