Chapter 114: The Business Routine of a Detective Agency
Kamen Rider's battle in the city has become a new urban legend, is this good or bad......?"
"What's so bad? Anyway, no one saw it when we transformed, or are you not used to this kind of life that is regarded as a hot topic of public opinion?"
At Narumi Detective Agency, Conan is looking through the nearest newspaper.
Previously, when they turned into Kamen Riders and fought with the [Lava] and [Tyrannosaurus] dopings, they did not deliberately avoid the crowd, but became famous for saving many people during the battle.
In this regard, Gray Yuan seems to have uncharacteristically not chosen to hide behind his back, or say something like "my word pass", probably because there is no sake brewery in this world.
"Well, not really...... By the way, how did those two memories get into their hands last time, did you find out?"
"There are not enough keywords, there are hundreds of bookshelves that have been searched, and there is not enough time to check them one by one, so for the time being, I can only know that a man in a suit sold it to them."
"I really didn't expect this thing to be able to be sold, I thought that like the APTX4869 in the organization, they would never be handed over to others if they could be used for their own use......
Gray Yuan Wai shook his head and said.
After defeating the lava and tyrannosaurus dopings, Conan and Gray Plains finally had time to exchange information, and then Conan got good news and bad news.
The good news is that there really is a "library of the earth" that stores the knowledge of the entire earth, and as long as the keywords are enough, any information can theoretically be retrieved.
The bad news is that this thing is tied to Gray Plains, and Conan can beg this eldest lady if he wants to.
"I'm now able to connect to the Earth Library at any time, but it doesn't seem to be 100% complete, at least I didn't find the data when I searched for "other worlds".
"In addition, as to why I, that is, the original "Philip", can use the Earth Library and cannot be consulted, unlike other "too much information" situations, I can't find out why at all, it seems that this part of the information has been locked or deleted."
After Ashbara's consciousness is connected to the Earth Library, she enters a space full of books and shelves, like a real library, except that the space is boundless and impossible to see.
When she wants to search for something, she has to say the "keyword", and the Earth Library will put the information that matches the keyword, that is, the "book" and the bookshelf, next to it, and exclude irrelevant content.
However, just like the various Internet search engines nowadays, a keyword can often correspond to all kinds of messy things, advertisements, typos, not to mention all kinds of famous things that sell fakes.
It's like if you go to the Internet to search for "what to do if you have a headache", if you use a search engine that is not very good, then you may start to get cancer after searching and make an appointment for a crematorium.
Therefore, although Gray Yuan Wai has tried to search for words such as [Gaia Memory], "Seller", and "Maker", there are too many results, and no valid content has been found for the time being.
"Hmm...... With more guys who have bought Gaia's memories appear, we should be able to investigate more information as well, right?"
Conan sighed, it looked like they were going to be ready for a long battle in this world.
"Well, I don't think it's a big deal, but isn't it a matter of a moment when we go back? It's like living for a while longer."
"You're fine, just stay in the office. I'm still going to have to deal with that girl named Yashuzi...... I didn't expect her to really plan to be the director of Narumi Detective Agency."
Conan was lying on his back in the swivel chair, looking weak.
After the last doping was resolved, Narumi found Conan and Ashbara, and was quickly captured by Ashbara's charm and became her little fan girl.
However, Conan seemed to be born with her, and he couldn't get used to it, and even Yashuzi directly took out the certificate, saying that she is now the director and Conan is her member
work, you have to follow her orders to work for her.
In this regard, Gray Hara, who has always maintained a happy mentality about what happened to Conan, naturally has no objection, and the Narumi Detective Office has settled this matter with a two-to-one advantage.
Anyway, when he transforms, his consciousness will be uploaded to Kamen Rider's body after using the memory, and the main body can stay in the secret base without any danger.
It's just that this guy is suffering Conan.
"Hahaha, your elder is back, look at the new commission I received!!"
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Yashuzi held a stack of materials in his hand, walked in proudly, and threw the materials into Conan's arms.
"Now, Conan Edogawa, an employee, is starting to investigate!"
"Spare me......
……………………
"Bang !!"
"Ahh My memory, my money......"
As an explosion sounded, a metallic memory was shattered, and the man in the suit and leather shoes with an obscene face struggled to the ground, still not giving up, trying to reach for the memory.
"Alright, your [money] memory has been destroyed, and you are waiting to be punished by the law."
Kamen Rider, who transforms into the form of [Blazing Metal] and holds a burning stick, points at the man with the long stick in his hand and says.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, Conan The commission they received was all related to memory in the end, for example, today, it was obviously investigating the reason why a girl was immersed in gambling, but I didn't expect to find a doping.
This man's memory is [money], although it is not very strong in strength, but he has a special ability, which can turn all other people's things, property, body, and even soul into special [coins] and store them for his own use through gambling.
These coins increase the power of the Doped and consume its activity.
At the same time, he will also use exquisite gambling skills to induce those who are new to gambling, and give a small favor at the beginning to let them win a little money.
When these gamblers fall deeper and deeper and cannot extricate themselves, they are tempted to sacrifice their souls and bodies as a gamble to harvest them.
It has to be said that this [money] doping did not use Gaia's memory to commit some violent crimes, so it was very secretive, and this crime has been going on for months, if it weren't for a chance commission to let Conan and Gray Yuan Wai come into contact with this matter, I'm afraid he would continue to get away with it.
It's just that in the process of defeating him, there is a slight trouble.
If he directly defeated him with brute force, then these people who were taken away by him would not be able to be redeemed, so Conan and Gray Yuan had to take a gamble with him at the cost of their own souls.
As for the result...... These two guys already had a tacit understanding, but now they have a Kamen Rider transformation belt that can make people feel the same way, and after wearing it, they cheat directly and defeat this guy.
As the saying goes, as long as you are not caught, it is not a crime...... Ahem, it's not this sentence, it should be a white lie is not a deception, in order to save more people's souls, it's just a cheat, not ashamed.
After successfully rescuing those whose souls were taken away, Conan and Gray Plains directly transformed, using the form of a burning stick against this thick-skinned guy, directly blowing up its memory.
"But before I do that, I have a question for you, who sold you this memory? Do you know the name of that man?"
"Name? I do not know...... All I remember is that it was a man in a suit, and he seemed to be ......."
The man's mind was a little confused at this time, and he barely remembered something under the threat of Conan and Gray Plains' burning sticks, but this information was of little use, and Conan and the others already knew it.
"Cut, I don't know. I said, don't you confirm each other's identities before you buy something?"
Gray Yuan Wai angrily poked the guy in the head with a burning stick.
"This, this, that's the black market after all, and everyone doesn't ask where they come from......
"Then you won't play tricks, won't you? It's stupid."
Gray Yuan mourned a tone of hatred that iron could not be made of steel, and the corners of Conan's mouth twitched when he heard the other half of his body.
What is this? Criminals interact with each other? Or is it a master of crime who teaches on the spot?
"By the way, I remember, that guy seems to have a pendant on his body!"
The man who originally held the [money] memory suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted out.
"What pendant?"
"Fengdu-kun, it's the pendant of Fengdu-kun!"
Fengdu Jun, the mascot of the city of Fengdu, looks like a small puppet with the head of a windmill on the outside, but it is quite cute, and it is sold as a local souvenir of Fengdu, but there are not too many locals who will bring this thing on their bodies.
This is actually very normal, the local residents of a city generally have two extremes, one is to treasure everywhere, and there are souvenirs from all over the world at home, and outsiders can ask for two thousand years. The other is the type of person who lives in the local area, but has never been to any scenic spots, and does not know much about history and culture.
Conan's predecessor, Zuo Shotaro, probably belongs to the former in another sense, and he loves Fengdu very much in the setting, but Conan himself doesn't know anything.
And Philip is the latter in another sense, although he doesn't know about the wind capital, but he can get information through the Earth Library, and the two are neutralized.
"Wind Prince's pendant? So, could that guy be a native of Fengdu?"
"I've searched the Earth Library with keywords, but I still get a lot of results, do you want me to look at them one by one, or do you want to keep looking for clues?"
After returning to the detective office, Gray Yuan immediately connected to the Earth Library, using [Fengdujun] as a keyword, and screened the information obtained again.
This time, the amount of information has decreased significantly compared to before, from hundreds of bookshelves to dozens, but the books on it are still piled up, and it is basically impossible to read them in a short time.
Although she was able to connect to the Earth Library, she couldn't stay in this state for long, in her own words, "very tired, more tiring than staying up late to study the antidote to APTX4869".
"Hmm...... Anyway, you can look at as many as you can, and if there are new clues, I'll investigate."
"Well, a new Gucci bag, it's going to be this big."
Conan hesitated for a moment, and as soon as he made such an answer, Gray Plains immediately got off the donkey, and made a rather "reasonable" request.
"We can't stay in this world for long, what are you doing with your bags......
"Allah, but in a sense, we won't survive long in the world in our lifetimes, so are we going to give up consuming some of the goods we fancy to our eyes?"
Gray Yuan Wai chuckled, seemingly satisfied with Conan's embarrassed expression.
"Besides, didn't the director pay you a salary? Today's commission should be rewarded, right?"
"Don't mention it, isn't that girl in the client's house addicted to gambling, and ended up with a bunch of debts and almost sold her house."
"Yashuzi, a good man, saw that although his family was so pitiful, he still smashed the pot and sold iron, and took out a bunch of coins from the piggy bank to pay the commission fee, and he didn't ask for it directly, and he gave it all away with a wave of his hand."
Conan pulled out his empty trouser pocket and shrugged at Graybara.
"Where do you think she ran away, of course she went out to find a commission. I don't understand her director, it's obviously a detective agency, where can she take the initiative to go out to find a commission......
"Really? I didn't expect our elder to have such a side...... However, it doesn't seem to be a problem to take the initiative to find a commission."
Gray Yuan seemed a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the director who was startled, who looked noisy and noisy, and looked like a middle school student, could do this kind of thing.
Yashuzi's image changed slightly in Gray Yuan's heart.
"Huh? No problem? Detective commissions are not like scouts, just ask on the street.
」
"Do you still need to ask questions like 'Is it possible for you to investigate your wife's affair?' and "Do you need to investigate the secrets of the other company?"
Conan didn't notice this, but was puzzled by what Gray Hara said, "It's okay to take the initiative to find a commission."
"Allah, isn't a certain detective often going anywhere, where the case will happen, take over the commission on the spot and send out on the spot to close the case on the spot, and the speed of solving the case makes the police ashamed."
"Let me think about it, Rice Flower Town Hall, Sea Hotel, Yokosuka Castle, Dorobiga Amusement Park, ......"
Gray Yuan lamented his hands on his chest, squinted at Conan, and began to count his sins ().
"Huh...... I wrote the case record and went to ......."
The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, and he sneered twice, looking for an excuse to leave, not planning to continue listening to Gray Yuan's cynicism here.
Anyway, he finally fooled the bag thing, and this guy will have to find a way to mock it back one day.
"By the way, that quirky bag, let's save it for the next time."
"Poof!"
A certain detective, after all, did not get rid of the debt of a bag, and fell down.
