Chapter 24: Call the police

There is a saying in life: it is difficult to find the police.

But what are the police like in Tokyo? Having trouble finding Shinichi Kudo!

Shinichi Kudo, who was called "the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era" and "the savior of the Japanese police" by the media, is much more reliable than the incompetent Metropolitan Police Department in the hearts of ordinary people.

Naoto Hara has also been influenced by this point of view, and almost forgot that there is such a thing as calling the police, but in fact, the Metropolitan Police Department is not so incompetent.

It's morning, and Conan solved the puzzle of the treasure map almost at night, and it was when he saw the lit neon sign that he had the inspiration to solve the puzzle successfully.

What if you strike first?

Thinking that Conan worked hard to find the place where the treasure was hidden, but was cut off by the robber brother who followed, the gold coin that he thought could be used as a killer weapon disappeared again, and when several elementary school students were trembling with fear, the police officer representing justice fell from the sky and rescued several innocent children from the hands of the vicious robbers, which is really a good show.

Naoto Hara waited for Mori Kogoro to stop talking and drink water, and asked, "Uncle, you should be familiar with the people from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department." ”

Mori Kogoro said proudly, "Of course, I know Officer Twilight very well with the first section of the search, and if I hadn't left the police force, I would at least be a police department now." ”

Naoto Hara looked admired, which inevitably made Mori Kogoro talk about his police career with high spirits, although it sounds a bit exaggerated, but it is obvious that Mori Kogoro still has some ability.

Maori Kogoro suddenly thought of something, and looked at Naoto Hara seriously, "By the way, you asked me if I have any acquaintances in the Metropolitan Police Department, did you commit a crime?" No, you seem to have been in the hospital not long after you came to Tokyo, and then you were admitted to my house, so you shouldn't have time to make trouble, right? ”

Naoto Hara said with a smile: "Uncle, what do you want? I'm a good law-abiding citizen. ”

Maori Kogoro scratched his head, looking embarrassed, but opened his mouth to say sarcastically, "That's right, you kid is basically under my nose, what bad things can you do." Besides, with your small body, I'm afraid you can't even beat a little girl. ”

Naoto Hara couldn't help but roll his eyes: Uncle, do you have any misunderstanding about little girls? Not all little girls are called Maorilan.

Mori Kogoro still backed down under the attack of Naoto Hara's eyes, and he said with a sneer: "Do you have anything to do with the Metropolitan Police Department?" ”

"Why don't we change places, it's not very convenient for people to come and go here."

"Then let's go to an izakaya, I'm very familiar with the uncle in this area."

"It's okay, uncle, you can lead the way."

Naoto Hara looked up at the sky, it was still very early, he could have lunch, and he couldn't bear to let the officers of the Metropolitan Police Department squat there too early.

Maori Kogoro is really familiar with this area, and he is familiar with Naoto Hara to a takaya, and after greeting the proprietress who still has the charm, he introduced the characteristics of this izakaya to Naoto Hara.

After a while, the proprietress brought the food and drinks she ordered, and she smiled and said, "Mr. Mori hasn't been here for a long time, why don't you try our Junmai Ginjo?" ”

The degree of shochu is not low, and if it is mixed with sake, Naoto Hara is very worried that he will not only not be able to borrow the tiger skin of Mori Kogoro in the future, but will have to help him back, and his small body will not be able to bear it.

"Uncle, didn't you order soju before?"

"What does it matter, right, lady boss?"

"That's right, that's right, we still ask old diners like Mr. Maori to comment on the new wine."

Watching Maori Kogoro and the proprietress sing and harmonizing, Naoto Hara couldn't help but mourn for his wallet, but since he had agreed to the treat, he naturally wouldn't regret it.

Naoto Hara saw that Maori Kogoro had already picked up the shochu and was about to drink, so he hurriedly said, "Wait, uncle, do you remember what I just said to you at Tokyo Tower?" ”

Maori Lan can't stop Maori Kogoro from drinking, let alone Naoto Hara.

Mori Kogoro poured tons of wine down his throat and said vaguely, "Remember, didn't I tell you that I knew Officer Twilight from the search lesson?" ”

Naoto Hara lowered his voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Uncle, can you help me make a phone call to Officer Twilight, I have important clues to provide about the gold coins that were robbed." ”

At first, Mori Kogoro didn't react, and said casually: "What gold coin?" Why is it so mysterious. ”

Then, Maori Kogoro, who was not yet drunk, suddenly came to his senses, sneakily glanced around, and also lowered his voice, "Is it the incident that was put on the news in the morning?" No wonder you're coming to Tokyo Tower today, but are the gold coins hidden near Tokyo Tower? It really fulfills the saying, the most dangerous place is the safest place. ”

Naoto Hara nodded, shook his head again, and said: "I have the clue to the gold coins, but not here in Tokyo Tower, I really just want to see Tokyo Tower here, in fact, the time is not so urgent, and those gold coins will not run away with long legs." Uncle, if the clues I provide are valid, I should have an informant fee or something. ”

Mori Kogoro affirmed, "Then there must be, if your clues are useful, I will ask Officer Twilight to apply for a little more informant fee." ”

After a while, Officer Twilight, who was on a police mission nearby, came to the izakaya with Takagi panting, and happened to see Mori Kogoro and Naoto Hara eating and drinking.

Officer Twilight said, "Brother Maori, you called earlier to say that you were interested in the clues of the bandit gang?" ”

Mori Kogoro was already a little drunk, he glanced at Officer Twilight, and said casually, "Oh, it's Officer Twilight and Officer Takagi, I remember making such a call before." ”

Naoto Hara took the opportunity to look at Officer Twilight and Officer Takagi, to be honest, Officer Twilight's size and hat were much more recognizable than Takagi's face on passers-by.

Officer Twilight hurriedly said: "Brother Maori, for the sake of this case, we have been busy searching a lesson recently, if you have any clues, just tell me." ”

Maori Kogoro laughed, and while pouring wine, he pointed to Naoto Hara and said, "Clues, I don't have it, he does!" ”

Of course, Officer Twilight had already seen Naoto Hara, and he only thought that Naoto Hara was a client of Kogoro Mori, and this kind of thing had happened before, and after completing the commission, some generous clients would treat him to a meal. But now it seems that this kid, who seems to be just a high school student, is deliberately trying to take advantage of the clues of the bandit gang?

Naoto Hara hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Officer Twilight, Officer Takagi, hello, I'm Naoto Hara, who is temporarily staying at Uncle Maori's house!" ”
