Chapter 959 The Phantom Thieves Are Still Too Comprehensive
This is indeed a very attractive suggestion. Most children's attention is easily diverted. With such a lively theme park in front of them, it is normal for their minds to be completely attracted by the laughter and noise of the amusement park.
The three people almost nodded in agreement. After seeing the amusement park behind them, they barely suppressed their restless hearts.
"Well, but, we are also invited as 'detectives'!" Yoshida Ayumi hesitated for a moment, and at least pulled her eyes back from the balloon at the door, "Isn't it not good not to meet the person who commissioned the case..."
"He mainly invited me." Maori Kogoro, who rarely showed patience with children, persuaded a few words, "And I am a hired private detective. He paid me for the commission, and the money was not shared with you. It is not appropriate to ask you to go with me for consultation."
While speaking, he deliberately glanced at Conan and found that the kid rarely showed any objection, so he turned back and added a sentence.
"Okay, when you guys come out after playing, if it's appropriate, I'll tell you the content of the commission. If I really need your help, it won't be too late then."
He was very serious, which was rare. He persuaded seriously. For a while, several elementary school students looked at each other and really couldn't find any reason to refute.
It was indeed a commission issued to detectives, but it was also an adult's job.
What's more, he also promised to share information with them later, as if there was no need to meet a strange uncle...
The three of them muttered a few words, and finally nodded when they saw that Haibara Ai and Conan did not raise any objections.
"Then it's a deal, if the commission is very interesting..." Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko said with some worry.
"...or if it is very difficult, and you can't solve it, you must tell us!" Kojima Motota interrupted him before he finished speaking.
His eyebrows jumped, and Maori Kogoro looked at the direction of the hotel again, barely suppressing his anger: "Okay, okay... Let's go quickly, don't make trouble..."
It doesn't matter at work. Most clients are not on guard against children, and they just think that Maori Kogoro has the habit of working with his family.
But for rich people who have nothing to do and live in an amusement park, it's hard to say where they are on guard.
After persuading the three most jumpy ones, except for Conan who was thinking about something with a stern face, the others had no doubts.
Just when they had discussed and were ready to act separately, a man in a suit and leather shoes came out of the hotel lobby. He saw the few people who got out of the car and were lingering in front of the door, and hurriedly came out to greet them.
"Sorry, is this Detective Maori Kogoro? I've been waiting for you for a long time." The man saluted, stood up, and showed a face that fits the stereotype very well. He said in a gentle tone, "I am the secretary of your client this time, my last name is Takada. And these few people..." After greeting Maori Kogoro first, he looked at Maori Ran who was about to turn around and leave with the children, and said very politely: "You are Maori's daughter, right? And you, the "Junior Detective Team". I have heard of you for a long time. The client is ready to meet..." "No, Mr. Takada." Feeling Conan gently pulling the corner of her skirt, Maori Ran immediately smiled, "I don't understand the work of detectives, so I can't help. Thank you for inviting us here out of respect and courtesy. Because the meeting place is in Fantasy Park, you want to take care of your family, right? Thank you very much, but we won't bother you with such an important commission..." Since most of them are excuses, it is difficult to be sincere, so she didn't say it smoothly. She was still not used to lying, although people always need to tell a few lies. At this time, even social etiquette would make her feel burdened.
But looking at the secretary's expression, she still gritted her teeth and insisted on saying these excuses.
After all, they were still a group of elementary school students. They could not help much in such a high-value business commission. If she insisted on asking them to go to the appointment, her purpose would sound too obvious.
She had to protect these children and be more sensitive at this time, not too careless.
"Uh, but..." Secretary Takada was surprised to hear a rejection, "Everyone is here... The meeting place was chosen for this reason..."
"Ah, I accidentally found the address here is the Fantasy Park when I was searching the map navigation." Mao Lilan spent a few seconds to make up a fair excuse, "I just thought it would be nice to play along the way, so I brought the children."
"But, the request I received was..."
"No, no, five first-grade children, that would be too much trouble for you, what if it disturbs the client's connection, how inappropriate?"
The more Secretary Takada asked them to bring elementary school students, the more Mao Lilan felt that the other party had ulterior motives, and the more she refused to give in.
Conan, who was restless and held down the three fools of Teitan together with Haibara Ai, looked at it and secretly gave a thumbs up.
Being easy to talk to but stubborn, sometimes it doesn't seem very pleasing, but at this moment, people will sincerely admire this gentle but firm principled expression.
Before the client's thoughts are clear, he will not let the children take risks.
"If you insist..." Looking at his watch, Takada was obviously a little anxious because of the time. In the end, he could only nod in compromise, and then asked the staff behind him to get a box from the hotel, "It's okay if you don't want to attend the meeting, please." Accept this. This is the client’s wish. I hope you won’t refuse.”
He took the box, opened it and took out a watch-like device from the middle. Mao Lilan, who was observing it carefully, stopped immediately after hearing the last words and turned around to close the lid: "We are just playing with dad. , so troublesome..."
So what if it's just a small watch?
She had no idea before, and now she still doesn't know how outrageous functions a watch can have. What if this is a locator used by some people with special hobbies to locate their prey?
Not to mention that she had just observed it carefully for a long time and only saw the buckle installed on the watch. The design was somewhat technological, but no matter how she looked at it, she could not find any buttons or seams that could be easily removed... It was even more suspicious.
"This is the VIP ticket for Fantasy Park, Miss Maori." Secretary Takada, sensing Mao Lilan's difficulty, didn't dare to let her speak again, and doubled the speed of his speech, "Look at the ticket machine over there. The one currently used in Fantasy Park These are more convenient smart bracelets that can easily locate tourists and provide timely help if an unexpected situation occurs. "
Mao Lilan turned her head and observed the crowd coming in and out for a while. She saw that everyone had similar things in their hands, but most of them were smaller than the one in her hand, so her expression relaxed slightly: "That's it, I don't have any." Have you ever seen this kind of design..."
Secretary Takada wiped his sweat, kept a smile, and wisely stopped answering.
He stopped talking, and he had no intention of moving to lead the way. He obviously hoped that a few people would wear their tickets now.
Mao Lilan started racking her brains again to think of the reasons. Conan suddenly jumped up, grabbed the thing in her hand, and pulled it roughly for a while, deliberately making an annoying, child-like sound. Adding to the fuss: "I don't want to wear it, this thing is so ugly! Sister Xiaolan, I like my own watch!"
Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, lowered her head to meet Conan's gaze, blinked twice, perhaps understanding Conan's eyes, and quickly re-entered the state of Sister Xiaolan who disciplined the naughty child, and stretched out her hand to hold Conan.
"Conan! Don't make trouble, this is a gift from someone, you will break it!"
"I don't want to wear it! I don't want to wear this!"
"Hey, Conan, don't throw it around. If it's really bad, you'll have to pay for it!"
Just like every time Conan deliberately caused trouble, the two people started running around the children, and the scene suddenly became chaotic because of the naughty children.
Secretary Takada wiped his sweat again, and suddenly felt a little lucky that Mao Lilan firmly refused to take the children to the hotel.
Maybe this lady is not difficult to talk to, but she really knows the lethality of naughty children and is worried about screwing up the commission...
Forget it, the boss just asked them to wear tickets anyway, and if they don't see it, they can see it.
The two chased him for two or three times. Mao Lilan reached out to fish it out and finally grabbed Conan's collar and pulled him in front of him.
She pulled the watch back and met Conan's eyes again.
Behind the large lenses, Conan's expression no longer looked like a naughty child laughing, but looked straight at her with an unwavering determination.
Takada has not left yet, and has been watching them fight, the hint is obvious enough.
He just wants the children to wear watches.
They were suspicious of the client, but they couldn't directly ask the question. If they delayed it any longer, the other party would become suspicious.
Now, there is only one way to fool him.
This book was recently updated in ##六x-on:x-on:九x-on:x-on:书x-on:x-on:!! Updated!
Mao Lilan's eyes widened slightly after understanding what he meant, and her fingertips were stiff.
But after looking at each other for a few seconds, she still knelt down, like a careful sister who disciplined her children, took Conan's hand, and placed the watch on his blank wrist.
The moment she pressed the buckle, she felt her eyes heat up slightly.
"Okay, put it on properly and thank them, you know..."
After saying that, she also picked up a watch and pretended to put it on her wrist.
Looking at this scene, Secretary Takada finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his smile became sincere again.
"Detective Mori, please..."
Seeing the half-crouched high school girl really starting to hand out watches to children, more importantly, she and the Maori detective's children have already put them on, and his mission has been completed.
Moreover, they had no reason to refuse the amusement park tickets, which looked full of good intentions. Secretary Takada, who felt that the problem was basically solved, did not delay this time.
"Just give the car key to the car boy, and he will help you park it properly. Come on, go this way..."
Watching Maori Kogoro leave, and when the two people completely disappeared from the hotel lobby, the smile on Maori Lan's face collapsed.
She tugged on the watch on Conan's hand and looked at the LCD numbers that flashed and then lit up, and the dial briefly displayed the time, date and weather. She gritted her teeth and did not dare to take it off directly.
Just in case, just in case this thing is really troublesome...
Pursing her lips, she immediately pressed the buckle on her wrist firmly before Conan could object. She also fastened the watch firmly on her hand.
"Lan, you..." Conan grabbed her wrist, looking slightly anxious.
Regarding this watch, just looking at its structure that was not easy to disassemble with one hand, he already had many bad images in his mind.
What kind of toxin injection, what kind of pulse and heartbeat monitoring, what kind of locator, what kind of bomb...
A lot of messy things flew by, but in short, none of them were good.
Knowing that something was wrong, I still put this thing on my hand...
"No matter what this is, since you are going to take a risk, there is no reason for me to hide and watch." Mao Lilan shook his watch and whispered, "And if I wear it too, you are taking a risk. Sometimes, you have to be a little worried, right?"
"orchid……"
Haihara Ai also picked up a watch in the box, and saw that the two of them stood there looking at each other in silence. After waiting for a few seconds, there was still no response, and then she deliberately cleared her throat.
"Hmm! Is it time to enter the amusement park? In fact, the doctor has booked VIP tickets for us in advance. We don't need this. It's inappropriate for us to just take the client's things without accepting the request."
Of course this is not true, but the tickets were indeed booked in advance, and her sister helped to book them...
"The doctor made a 'special trip' to give us a gift. It's already pitiful that he can't come with us because of something. We can't refuse his wishes." Ai Huihara emphasized again for fear that the children would become rebellious.
"Oh, okay..." The three elementary school students who came over curiously and were about to take the watch heard this and immediately gave up their plans to buy tickets. They happily followed Haihara Ai and went to the door to collect the reserved tickets.
Like a child king, Haihara Ai led several people to the ticket check-in area. As he passed by, he said something in a very small voice.
"A touching scene, but you'll get moved later. Keep an eye out for news."
Conan, who was really still immersed in emotion, reluctantly recovered his mind and didn't understand what she was referring to for a while.
However, after a few minutes, Conan understood what she meant.
"Keep your hands straight, or put them on the seat over here." Kenji Hagihara quickly selected a pry bar and a screwdriver from the tool box. He also picked a pair of pliers that are convenient for cutting rubber, and saw that Conan didn't react and was friendly. He added, "You can put it on my knee if you want."
Conan finally understood what Haihara Ai meant: "..."
No, you, the Phantom Thieves, say you have made preparations. Isn't this too comprehensive? !
