Chapter 8: The First Case of Paddle Water
Uncle Maori also took a large number of photographs when he completed the tracking work as evidence that he had completed the tracking work.
It can be seen that it is rare to have a job at the door, and Uncle Maori is still more concerned about this job.
After all, the remuneration is 500,000 yuan, which is a lot of income for a Maori family who has not worked for a long time and is actually not well-off.
Uncle Maori followed him for three days, and Ran, Kaedehara, and Conan got together, intending to be responsible for sorting out one of the days and arranging them in chronological order. In fact, when the photos were washed out, they were in order, but Uncle Maori casually threw them into the bag, and now they are messy again.
Ran is in charge of Monday, Kaede is in charge of Tuesday, and Conan is in charge of Wednesday - which is today.
Uncle Maori was in charge of cooking on the sidelines.
"Uncle has also filmed too much." Conan said.
"Daddy has been very motivated lately!" Xiaolan smiled, "I haven't had a job for a long time... Speaking of which, it was only after Conan and Xiaokong came that business got better, you two are really lucky stars! ”
It's obviously all Conan's reason... I don't want anything to do with me. Kaedehara doesn't want to have the physique to attract cases like Conan Edogawa. But... Xiaolan probably just deliberately brought him in this way.
The time is printed on the corner of the photo. After tidying up a little, Kaedehara began to pay attention to the contents of the photo.
He vaguely remembered the case. The prisoner commissioned Uncle Maori to follow the target, and then disguised himself as the target to be followed by Uncle Maori, thus allowing the police to misunderstand the time of the target's death.
In this way, the prisoner used Uncle Maori to obtain an alibi.
In this case...
Kaedehara picked up two photos, one from Monday and one from Wednesday, and pushed them towards Conan.
But Conan didn't take it, but looked at it.
"You've noticed that, too." Conan smiled confidently, his eyes revealing the joy of discovering the incident.
"Conan?" Xiaolan, who heard Conan's confident speech, stopped working curiously.
"Sister Xiaolan~" Conan hurriedly switched his tone, "Look, these two photos are so strange~"
"Really?" Xiaolan leaned over and looked at the two photos that Conan pushed up, "Hmm... All dressed in the same clothes... What's the strange? ”
"This one," Conan nudged the one on the left, "the guy in the photo is left-handed, but in the other one, he's right-handed again!" ”
"Really!" Xiaolan was surprised, and then turned to look at the pile of photos around her, "These ones seem to be the same!" This one is left-handed, this one is right-handed, this one is left-handed..."
"But why is that?"
"Of course it's because..."Conan Edogawa lifted his glasses and said confidently, "These are two people!" ”
Bang!
"Pain, pain!" Conan, who was handsome for no more than three seconds, covered the bag on his head and jumped to his feet.
Uncle Maori withdrew his fist with an unhappy face, "What two people! Can I still tell who I'm following! ”
"But Dad, in the photo..."
"Ahem, Xiaolan," said Uncle Maori, "look at the photos in your left hand to see if they are all today." ”
"I'll see... This, this... That's true! It's all today! ”
Uncle Maori nodded with satisfaction, "I think, this guy must have been injured in his right hand last night, so he had to use his left hand today!" That's right, that's it, I'm so smart! Hahaha! ”
No, it's not! In the photo, the man is clearly left-handed... The target he was following disguised as Uncle Maori must have a secret to tell!
Conan faintly smelled the case. But... What will it be?
Looking at Kaedehara, who was discovered almost at the same time as himself, Conan found that Kaedehara was actually seriously sorting out the photos again.
This guy...
Sighing and touching the bag on his head, Conan dismissed the idea of continuing to play with Uncle Maori.
Although this matter seems suspicious, it is not yet the end of the matter, and by the time Uncle Maori goes on an errand, there should be some progress in this matter...
Conan, who doesn't have to go to school for the next few days because the school is on vacation for some reason, plans to follow Uncle Maori to meet the client and see what is going on in it.
Feng Yuan sorted out the part of the photos he was responsible for and handed them to "Sister Xiaolan", and received a compliment by the way.
If nothing else, his participation in the first case he encountered after crossing over will end here.
He's just trying to point out the suspicions in the photograph — and there's Conan there, and he's not needed — and he's a little surprised by Uncle Maori's reasoning that he's led people astray.
But that's fine.
At this time, the victim in the case should have been killed, and catching the murderer in advance will not change anything, but will make Uncle Maori unable to get paid for tracking smoothly... After all, the client is the murderer.
Now, Uncle Maori should be able to detect the anomaly on his own, and he doesn't need Conan to catch the murderer... Right?
Probably.
After Moriran and Conan were all sorted out, Kaedehara rejected the offer to stay at the office and prepared to return to Dr. Asasa's house.
Although the doctor is a veteran of ordering takeout, the takeout in the past few days has been ordered by Kaede, and he is a little worried that the doctor has forgotten to eat.
Seeing that it was getting late, Moriran planned to send Kaedehara back.
This made Kaedehara a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't refuse. Mao Lilan now looks at him like he is looking at a poor little child whose parents don't care about it... As for Conan, Maolilan thought that Conan was sent out for foster care for the first time.
Led by Mao Lilan and walking far away, Kaede Yuan felt that the resentful gaze that had been staring at his back disappeared.
"Sora... I can call you Sora, right? ”
"Hmm!" Kaedehara replied. If only I could call him Kaedehara or Sora... Sauce or something always reminds him of a certain sauce from God Elementary School... That's real sauce.
But he clearly didn't have a choice.
"Does Sora feel lonely at the doctor's house?"
"No, Sister Xiaolan, and Grandpa Lisa's inventions are super interesting!"
“… Yes! The Doctor doesn't look very good at taking care of people, but he's a good person," said Morilan, "but... If you want to come to live at my sister's house, you can do it at any time. ”
"Thank you, Sister Xiaolan."
Again, he rejected himself with words of thanks... Maolilan felt more and more distressed. Conan's kid is different, he's quite close to himself, "Ah yes, Sora, let me ask you!" ”
"Does Sora have a favorite girl?" Maoliran said, intending to replicate the previous conversation with Conan to see the effect, "Hmm... In other words, do you think there is a girl you know who is very special? ”
