Chapter 56: Yoko Okino's Invitation

In the basement, Conan confronts a knife-wielding woman. Not long ago, he found the woman in the house, secretly followed the other party to the basement, and accidentally found a bearded man locked inside. Because Ayumi accidentally made a movement and was noticed by the woman, Conan had to stand up.

Conan reasoned and revealed that the woman's identity was the mistress of the house, that is, the wife of the deceased back then, and the man in the cage was her son.

The man killed his father back then, and the woman didn't want to see her son in prison, so she hid the truth of the matter and kept him locked up here.

For five years, the man had been condemned by his conscience and decided to face the reality and turn himself in, but the woman did not allow him to do so, wanting to wait until the statute of limitations expired before releasing him. The reason why the neighbors heard terrible noises in the middle of the night was because the woman came to deliver food in the middle of the night every day, and the man's cry of pain was heard.

was exposed to the truth by Conan, the woman was furious, pressed Conan to the wall, raised the knife in her hand high, and was about to stab it, when a coin suddenly flew in the shadows, just shooting down the knife!

"This lady, I advise you not to make mistakes again and again!" Narumi Kiyotaka slowly walked out of the shadows, and Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw someone coming.

"Who are you?" The woman said nervously.

"For the time being, this kid is the guardian and also a detective." Narumi Qinglong said lightly: "You have kept your son here, what is the difference between this and being in prison?" ”

"Shut up!" The woman said angrily that as a mother, she didn't want to treat her son like this, but she felt that it was all for her son's good, and she couldn't let the murder affect his future.

Narumi Kiyotaka continued: "You want to wait for the retroactive statute of limitations to expire? Five years? Decade? Or fifteen years? If he had been allowed to turn himself in, kill by mistake, and find a better lawyer, he would have been almost released from prison in five years, and he would still be able to be a new person.

What if you keep running away like this, even if you wait until the retroactive statute of limitations expires? Looking at his appearance, does he still look like a person? Even if he can escape the law, he cannot escape the condemnation of his conscience. ”

"Mom, he's right, I really can't stand it, I dream of my father's tragic death every night, I want to turn myself in, I want to atone for my sins!" The man in the cage said with a pained expression.

Thinking of her son's suffering day and night, the woman finally couldn't help crying.

Narumi Kiyotaka gave the two of them a day, and if they didn't turn themselves in, he would call the police directly. Fortunately, the two of them got lost and turned themselves in early the next morning. An unsolved case that had reached an impasse finally came to light after five years.

On the other hand, the three little ones also had to go home and turn themselves in, vowing never to do this kind of thing again, of course, they all understand!

Time flies again, and on this day, a beautiful woman who has not been seen for a long time came to visit the office.

"I heard that Miss Yoko recently took on another TV series, so she should be about to start filming, why did she suddenly have time to come?" Brewing a cup of tea for the other party, Narumi Kiyotaka smiled.

The person who came was the popular idol Yoko Okino, and as Narumi Kiyotaka became more and more famous, the scandal between the two was mentioned from time to time. Although they didn't really have a relationship, they became real friends.

Yoko Okino pursed her lips and smiled: "I can't hide it, I took the liberty to come to disturb today just for this TV series." ”

Yoko Okino took out the script prepared in advance and handed it to Narumi Kiyotaka, "This is a reasoning drama adapted from a novel, the author of the novel has long since passed away, due to the different background times, many places need to be adapted, especially the reasoning part, the director wants to ask a professional to be a consultant, I recommended Mr. Narumi on my own initiative, and I ask Mr. Narumi to forgive me." ”

Narumi Kiyotaka looked at it, it was actually a novel adapted from Edogawa Ranbu, to be honest, although I had heard the other party's name for a long time, I hadn't actually read any of the other party's novels at all.

Yoko Okino is also a good intention, Narumi Kiyotaka is inconvenient to refuse, "I want to read the script first, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow, how about it?" ”

Yoko Okino nodded, "No problem." ”

After sending Yoko Okino away, Narumi Kiyotaka began to carefully read the script, and with writing skills as a foundation, Narumi Kiyotaka soon discovered that there were many problems with the script.

First of all, the background of the story has shifted from the 30s to the 90s, and all aspects have changed dramatically, but the script has only been slightly modified, and the characters' habits are incompatible with the contemporary era, which is indescribably inconsistent. Secondly, the case in the 90s used the criminal investigation methods of the 30s, which is even more Kexue than Kexue!

Narumi Kiyotaka changed the script again and again, and when Conan came back, he asked him to help read it by the way. From a detective's point of view, Narumi Kiyotaka's changes make sense. But from the perspective of fans, Conan is a little difficult to accept, and many places have simply been changed beyond recognition.

"If you really change it like this, you will definitely be sprayed to death!" Conan said mercilessly.

Narumi Kiyotaka also realized this, and the next day, when the script was returned to Yoko Okino, Narumi Kiyotaka said, "I'm sorry, I didn't change it very well, so you better find someone else." ”

Hearing Narumi Kiyotaka refuse, Yoko Okino was a little surprised. Looking at Narumi Qinglong's face again, there were faint dark circles on his face, and it was obvious that he had spent a lot of effort. Feeling that she was doing something bad with good intentions, Yoko Okino felt a little reluctant in her heart, "It's me who should say I'm sorry, let Mr. Narumi bother." ”

On the way back, Yoko Okino took a closer look at the script changed by Narumi Kiyotaka, and the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became, it was completely different from the original script, and the other party simply rewrote the entire script.

"Yoko, it's here!"

Hearing the agent's reminder, Yoko Okino reacted at this time, and she accidentally became fascinated. The original novel is very rigorous, and maybe mystery lovers like it, but for an ordinary person like her, it is too brain-burning and difficult to understand. In contrast, Narumi Kiyotaka changed it very plainly and easily, almost like a light novel.

"What's wrong with that? Obviously very good change! Yoko Okino muttered.

Yoko Okino came to the director, and originally wanted to tell the other party directly about Narumi Kiyotaka's refusal, but when she saw such a good script, she couldn't bear to give up. After hesitating again and again, Yoko Okino decided to make her own decisions again, and first showed the script changed by Narumi Kiyotaka to the director.

Taketoshi Gondo is a well-known director who has been in the industry for decades and has rich experience, and you can see at a glance whether the script is good or bad. For someone to change, to be honest, he didn't pay attention at all. The reason why he agreed to Yoko Okino to invite the other party to be a consultant was, to put it bluntly, because of the other party's fame.

Taketoshi Gondo originally just wanted to take a casual look, but after reading the first page, the whole person was completely stunned, is this still the original script?

"Director Kwonto, what do you think?" Yoko Okino said expectantly.

"I think it's better for this show to change its name." Taketoshi Gondo said with a strange face.
