Chapter 40 [Fortunately, I wasn't discovered]
MΔori Detective Agency.
"Knock knock!"
"Little ghost, go open the door!" Kogoro Mori was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and when he heard a knock on the door, he immediately poked Conan with his foot, who was reading a comic book next to him.
Damn it!
Conan glanced at Mori Kogoro angrily, then sighed helplessly and silently ran to open the door.
As soon as the door is opened.
Conan's detective illness subconsciously attacked.
The first thing that caught the eye was that he was dressed in black, which made Conan's fragile and sensitive nerves tense instantly.
"His legs are subconsciously doing micro-movements, this is cat-foot standing? Ever practiced karate? And the level is not low, I have only seen Xiaolan have this instinct."
"There is a callus between the thumb and index finger, like a mark left by holding a gun for a long time."
"Breath is so close that it's barely audible, he's been a ninja? Engaged in assassination? Is there really such a profession in modern times?"
"The upper is very clean, and there is no dirt road near the other party's residence, so I didn't come from the vicinity of Rice Flower Park in the west."
Should be...... Police.
It could be the person mentioned by Uncle Maori who came to him to learn judo.
Conan looked at Roque very solemnly, and to be honest, he wasn't really sure about the other party's profession.
As for the differences in the smell, hairstyle, clothing, or handicraft of the other party, Conan couldn't distinguish enough special information from this.
But what made Conan even more incomprehensible was the other party-
It gives a feeling.
Conan's instincts as a detective tell him that if the person in front of him chooses the profession of detective, it will definitely be constantly exposed to the type of case, just like himself.
Conan sighed, didn't think about it so much, but turned his head to Maori Kogoro and shouted:
"Uncle, there's a guest coming."
β¦β¦
Roque put a portion of the prize money he received on the desk of the office with full sincerity.
"Hello Maori senior, I was introduced by Brother Twilight to learn judo from you."
When Roque came to the office, he didn't say any nonsense, but put a sum of money on the table before introducing his intentions.
Maori Kogoro suddenly smiled:
"Xiaolan, quick! Give this little ...... Good tea, sir! β
Mao Lilan also had nothing to do with this money-eyed father, so he had no choice but to go to the kitchen to make tea for the guests.
Conan saw that Roque actually knew Mori Kogoro so well, obviously doing his homework in advance, so he asked curiously:
"Ahh
"You stinky little devil! Adults talk, children interject less! Mori Kogoro immediately punched Conan on the head.
Damn, it hurts! Conan clutched tears on top of his head.
"Of course, it's because the Maori seniors are very good at judo." Roque explained to Conan with a smile.
Conan looked at Roque in disbelief.
Feed! You actually say that Uncle Judo is very strong? You've been cheated!
Roque was also a little surprised, he thought that after three months, at least Mori Kogoro should show off his skills in the class reunion to impress Conan.
Haven't you experienced this case yet?
This case also did not occur in the rice flower, so there is no record in the file.
But when you think about it, Conan's timeline has always been very chaotic, and it's not surprising.
"Conan, Dad's judo was very good back then!" Mao Lilan also took tea at this time and walked out of the kitchen.
Roque continued: "The Maori seniors are not only good at judo, but also have the best marksmanship in the police force back then. β
Hum~!
"It's worthy of being a promising junior! Sure enough, there is a vision! Ahahahaha! β
Mori Kogoro suddenly crossed his hands in front of his chest, his nose was snorting like a cow, and his tongue was sticking out with a smile, looking very proud.
Conan was still a little unconvinced, so he began to persuade Roque from the side: "Ahh Uncle, are you talking about Officer Twilight? Could it be that big brother are you a police officer? β
"It's all said! Less interjection for the little ones! β
"Bang!"
Another blow to the Iron Fist!
"Speaking of which, Twilight really didn't tell me anything about your situation in detail." Maori Kogoro scratched his head suddenly, although he is usually a confused detective, and he does like money, but now that he has to teach people, he naturally wants to know who the other party is.
"Are you searching for a lesson right now?"
"Yes. After graduating from the University of Tokyo, I became a member of the Occupational Group, and I am currently working in the Search Section 1 and the 3rd Department of Searching, and I am a police supplement. β
East?!
Police Department Supplement?!
Conan and Mori Kogoro suddenly looked up at Roque with some surprise in their expressions.
"You're amazing!" Maori Kogoro was slightly stunned, he had also been a policeman in the past, so he naturally knew the gold content of this resume.
Kogoro Mori then asked, "Won't your parents stop you from working as a police officer?" There should be a lot of options to go to the University of the East of Tokyo, right? β
"I was an orphan and was admitted to the University of Tokyo on the basis of scholarships and social welfare."
Roque continued with a flat expression: "I do have many choices, but I will only choose the job of a police officer. β
"Because protecting the country (salary) is what I've always dreamed of."
"You! You guy! It's amazing! β
Mori Kogoro patted his chest excitedly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pass on everything I will to you!" β
Mao Lilan was also very moved, her strong empathy ability was a little scary, and it was not easy for her to make up for orphans to study and pursue their dreams by herself.
Only Conan was still suspicious, and he always felt that Roque had been coaxing Uncle Maori to say nice things since he entered the room.
The few people talked until Miss Yoko Okino's TV show.
Roque was about to leave the office, and Xiaolan was about to see him off, but Roque was dragged out of the room by Conan first.
"Sister Xiaolan, just let me send my big brother!"
Conan didn't dare to let Ran and Roque be alone.
Roque looks outrageous than his big star mother.
As the king of East Asian vinegar, it is natural to stick to the front.
"Eh, is Roark so popular with kids?" Xiaolan sighed a little, Conan has only known Roque for such a short time, and he can play so well with each other.
β¦β¦
"Big brother, that's it."
Conan pointed to the intersection in front of him, "From the east side is Mihua's new police quarters." β
"Oh?" Roque said softly, "How did you know I lived in the police quarters on the east side?" β
To the west there is also the old police apartments......
Conan was stunned for a moment, thinking of the reasoning when he first met, and then immediately started haha: "Because the big brother is a policeman, isn't he?" The police are going to live in the police quarters, that's what I thought. β
However, Roque did not ask the other party on this point, but changed the topic and said:
"Not long ago, Shinichi Kudo disappeared from the police's sight."
Conan's pupils dilated.
Roque leaned down and touched Conan's head, then suddenly removed his glasses.
"I actually felt this way the first time I saw you, and you and Kudo Shinichi really have exactly the same profile photo when he was an hour."
How can it be?
It didn't take long for me to disappear!
How could anyone go out of their way to check my file?
Conan lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, his fingers clenched unconsciously.
Didn't he come to the Maori family to learn judo? Is it a sound to hit the west?
Orphan? Could it be a spy arranged by the Black Coats to be in the police?
Roque saw Conan's reaction so big, and he was suddenly a little happy: "So, it looks so similar!" You must be a relative of Kudo! β
"Huh? Ahhhh......h Hahaha! Big brother, you're such a detective! I'm actually a distant cousin of Shinichi's brother! Conan breathed a sigh of relief and scratched his head with a smile.
"Then I'll go first, and the children should pay attention to safety when they go back."
"Uh-huh, okay, big brother."
Watching Roque drift away, the big stone in Conan's heart finally fell.
He turned around and walked towards home, breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered in a low voice, "I'm scared to death, but fortunately I wasn't discovered." β
"yes, it's good that it wasn't discovered."
Roque's breath pressed against Conan's ear.
It was familiar, so quiet that it was almost inaudible breathing, like the breath of an assassination job.
Conan stared blankly at the face that was close behind him.
He also noticed the black clothes that Roque had never taken off!
