Chapter 41 [Insufficient Ability of the Parties]

In the distance, the evening sun spills down on the streets.

The sun brushed through Conan's body, but it didn't warm him in the slightest.

Conan stood in the shadows of Roque's tall frame, and felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He looked at Roque in a daze, and his eyes were filled with a black suit that only kept appearing in that nightmare.

In Conan's eyes, the black clothes seemed to burst out of Roque's body, enveloping him firmly, and plunging him into infinite darkness.

And in this moment when his brain went blank, Conan remembered Xiaolan, and glasses......

Well? Spectacles?

Roque put his glasses back on Conan's face, "I'm sorry, I took off your glasses just now and forgot to give them back to you." ”

"That's pretty careless, isn't it?"

"Edogawa Conan?" Roque's words gently drilled into Conan's ears.

Conan's eyes were still dumbfounded, and he just nodded numbly.

Roque smiled lightly and waved his hand to Conan a second goodbye.

Only this time, he was really gone.

Conan, on the other hand, remained standing still, his eyes fixed on the direction Roque had left.

……

A few months later, Dr. Asasa came home.

"Dr. Asasa, have you found out the details of that Roque?" Conan poked his head out on the couch.

"Shinichi, I've said it several times." Dr. Asasa wiped the sweat from his forehead, continued to lower his head and improved the watch-type tranquilizer gun in his hand, and then responded: "Roque's file is an ordinary orphan, and then he worked hard to get into the University of Tokyo, and after that, he passed the exam and became a police officer. ”

"That's all there is to it. Shinichi, I don't think he's like a member of the Black Order you said, did you guess wrong this time? ”

Conan said embarrassedly, "Actually...... Actually, I don't think he's a member of the Black Order, but ......"

But that Roque has been too close to Xiaolan in the past few months!

His job as a police officer didn't seem to exist, he didn't have to work at all, and he ran to the Maori office every day like no one else.

Every time he came, he deliberately brought souvenirs to please Uncle Maori, and occasionally took over from Xiaolan to help the Maori family cook.

Bah! Disgusting!

Forget it, the key is that every time he practices judo, he will find Xiaolan to try his moves.

There are too many physical contact moves in judo, and Conan sees it in his eyes and hurts in his heart.

When Conan first met Roque, he thought that the other party's goal was him.

But now it seems even more terrifying.

The other party's target is actually Xiaolan!

You might as well come for me!

And Roque's evil guy will go to Didan High School every day to pick up Xiaolan from school, and after school, he will take Xiaolan to practice martial arts.

What a scheming attempt!

Conan didn't know about it at first, he still went to elementary school every day! If it weren't for the previous time when the bandage freak mentioned it, Conan might not have known that there was such a thing.

And every time these two people fight, they walk out quietly and panting.

Conan can't stand it!

This guy has to be gotten away! Get it away!

"What a hate!" Conan grabbed his hair wildly.

He has been the best boy in his age since he was a child, and he has never worried that someone can rob him of Xiaolan.

But the appearance of this Roque made Conan suddenly full of crisis.

And Conan knows very well that because of his father Kogoro Maori, Maori Lan actually appreciates the profession of police more than detectives.

Roque is a cop!

The two of them share the same martial arts hobby......

"What the hell am I going to do to get him out of Xiaolan?" Conan lay dejected on the couch, looking at his immature palms.

If only I were Shinichi now.

This is actually the root source of all jealousy, he is a child now, and he has no way to protect the person he likes.

Conan believes that his feelings for Xiaolan since he was a child are sincere with each other.

But what if he couldn't find the antidote?

You can't wait until he grows up to eighteen......

Conan slowly closed his eyes, and he now deeply realized the meaning of the phrase "all human suffering is essentially anger at one's own incompetence".

"So Shinichi you're worried about this." Dr. Asasa stopped what he was doing, "Isn't that easy?" Roque wants to learn judo, why don't you introduce him to another martial arts master? ”

That's right!

A bolt of lightning flashed through Conan's mind.

Conan jerked off the couch.

He's really confused.

Conan always felt that Roque's target was likely to be himself or Ran.

But in fact, he has been ignoring it, maybe Roque doesn't care about them at all, and he may have come to the Maori family simply to learn judo.

Playing with Xiaolan may just be because Xiaolan is very good at fighting.

Roque may have noticed that something was wrong with him as a child when they first met, but the other party didn't care at all, and he didn't make a fuss about it after that.

After thinking about this, Conan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Conan frowned again.

Some time ago, he and Xiaolan participated in Uncle Maori's class reunion together, and then they clearly knew that Uncle Maori did have real skills.

And the ability is not small, and it can even be said that people with the level of Uncle Maori are rare.

Seemingly...... This time, I had to ask my father for help.

His father, the famous mystery novelist Yusaku Kudo, has a lot of connections in all walks of life.

To put it bluntly, whether he wants to learn to fly an airplane or a tank, with Kudo's network, he can build a Hawaii technical school in minutes.

It's not hard to find a few world-famous martial arts masters.

The key is how to introduce the martial arts master to Roque in the name of Kudo Shinichi very reasonably.

Conan was a little worried, he jumped off the sofa, began to pace back and forth in the living room, thinking about countermeasures, when he passed by the coffee table, he suddenly noticed a newspaper on the coffee table, glanced at it, and then his footsteps instantly froze.

On the front page of that newspaper, the headline was written in large black bold lettering:

"The Legend of Rice Flower! The billion-yen robbery case was quickly solved! A genius criminal investigator was born! 》

"The mastermind of this robbery was Masami Hirota, who had been lurking at the Bank of Mitsubishi for half a year, and shortly after the robbery, a police officer who was on a shift happened to pass by and quickly solved the billion-yen robbery."

Perhaps because the arrogance of the detectives has been suppressed for too long, this time the police senior management also spared no effort to publicize the investigation process of this case, which highlights the role of the police in this case.

Conan didn't care what that worked on.

He just stared blankly at the tall, handsome policeman who was published in the newspaper.

"Original...... This guy has a job. ”
