Chapter 40 [Luckily Not Discovered]
Maori Detective Agency.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Little devil, go open the door!" Mouri Kogoro was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. When he heard the knock on the door, he immediately poked Conan, who was reading a comic book next to him, with his foot.
hateful!
Conan glanced at Mouri Kogoro angrily, then sighed helplessly and silently ran to open the door.
Once the door is opened.
Conan's detective disease kicked in subconsciously.
The first thing that caught his eye was a man dressed in black, which made Conan's fragile and sensitive nerves tense instantly.
"His legs are subconsciously performing micro-movements. Is this a cat-foot stance? Have you practiced karate? And the level is not low. I have only seen Xiaolan with this kind of instinct."
"There are calluses between the thumb and index finger, like marks left by holding a gun for a long time."
"The breath is so close that it's almost inaudible. Has he been a ninja? Engaged in assassination? Is such a profession really possible in modern times?"
"The uppers of the shoes are very clean. There is no dirt road near the other party's residence, so he did not come from near Mihua Park in the west."
It should be... the police.
Probably the person Uncle Mori mentioned who came to him to learn judo.
Conan looked at Rock with very serious eyes. To be honest, he was not quite sure about the other person's profession.
As for the difference in the other person's smell, hairstyle, clothing or dominant hand, Conan was completely unable to distinguish enough special information from it.
But what is even more difficult for Conan to understand is the other party——
A feeling that gives people.
Conan's intuition as a detective told him that if the person in front of him chose the profession of detective, he would be the type who would be constantly exposed to cases, just like himself.
Conan sighed, not thinking so much, but turned to Moori Kogoro and shouted:
"Uncle, a guest is coming."
…
Roque put part of the bonus he received on the office table with sincerity.
"Hello, Maori-senpai, I was introduced by Brother Megure to learn judo from you."
After Roque came to the office, he didn't say anything nonsense. Instead, he put a sum of money on the table and then introduced his purpose.
Mouri Kogoro suddenly beamed:
"Xiaolan, hurry up! Give this little... gentleman some good tea!"
Mao Lilan had nothing to do with this money-minded father, so she had no choice but to go to the kitchen to make tea for the guests.
Conan saw that Rock knew so much about Kogoro Mori's character. He had obviously done his homework in advance, so he asked curiously:
"Ah, big brother, why do you want to learn judo from Uncle Maori?"
"You stinky brat! Let the adults speak, and the children should stop interrupting!" Mouri Kogoro immediately punched Conan on the head.
Damn it, it hurts! Conan covered his head with tears in his eyes.
"Of course it's because Maori-senpai is very good at judo." Rock explained to Conan with a smile.
Conan suddenly looked at Rock in disbelief.
Hello! You actually said that uncle is very strong in judo? You have been cheated!
Rock was also a little surprised. He thought that after three months, at least Mouri Kogoro would show off his skills at the class reunion and impress Conan.
Haven't you experienced this case yet?
This case did not occur in Mihua, so there is no record in the file.
But think about it, Conan's timeline has always been very messy, so it's not surprising.
"Conan, dad was very good at judo back then!" Mao Lilan also walked out of the kitchen with tea at this time.
Rock continued to add: "Senior Maori is not only good at judo, but he is also one of the best in the police force in marksmanship."
Hum~!
"As expected of the junior whom I am very optimistic about! You really have a good sense! Hahahahaha!"
Mouri Kogoro immediately crossed his arms on his chest, snorted like a cow, and stuck out his tongue in laughter, looking very proud.
Conan was still a little unconvinced, so he began to persuade Rock from the side: "Ah, oh, oh! Uncle, are you talking about Officer Memu? Could it be that, brother, are you a policeman?"
"I've said it all! Children, stop interrupting!"
"boom!"
Another iron fist!
"But speaking of it, Megure really didn't mention your situation to me in detail." Mouri Kogoro suddenly scratched his head. Although he is usually a confused detective and does like money, but now he has to teach others his skills. Naturally, he You need to know who the other person is.
"Are you searching lesson one now?"
"Yes. After I graduated from Tokyo University, I became a member of the vocational team. I am currently working in the Search Section 1, Department 3, and I am a supplement in the police department."
Dongda? !
Police supplement? !
Conan and Mouri Kogoro immediately raised their heads and looked at Rock, with some surprise on their expressions.
"You are really amazing!" Mouri Kogoro was slightly stunned. He had also been a policeman in the past, so he naturally knew the gold content of this resume.
Mouri Kogoro then asked: "Won't your parents stop you from pursuing a job as a police officer? There should be many choices for you to go to Tokyo University, right?"
"I am an orphan, and I managed to get into the University of Tokyo with scholarships and social welfare."
Rock continued with a calm expression: "I do have many choices, but I will only choose the job of a police officer."
"Because protecting this country (salary) has been my dream."
"You! You! You are so amazing!"
Mouri Kogoro patted his chest with great excitement and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pass on everything I know to you!!"
Mouri Ran was also very moved. Her empathy was a little scary. She was just imagining the difficulties of orphans studying and pursuing their dreams.
Only Conan was still suspicious. He always felt that Rock had been coaxing Uncle Maori to say good things since he entered the room.
The few of them talked about the time of Miss Okino Yoko's TV show.
Rocker was also about to leave the office. Xiaolan was about to see him off, but Rock was dragged out of the room by Conan first.
"Sister Xiaolan, let me see my big brother off!"
Conan didn't dare to let Xiaolan and Rock be alone.
Rocker looked even more outrageous than his superstar mother.
As the jealous king of East Asia, he naturally had to hold his ground.
"Hey, is Rock so popular with children?" Xiaolan sighed a little. Conan had only known Rock for such a short time, but he could play so well with him.
...
"Big brother, we're here."
Conan pointed to the intersection ahead: "Go east and you'll find the new police dormitory in Mika."
"Oh?" Rock whispered: "How did you know I live in the police dormitory in the east?"
There are also old police apartments in the west...
Conan paused for a moment, thinking of the reasoning when they first met, and then immediately laughed: "Because big brother is a policeman, right? Policemen should live in police dormitories, that's what I think."
However, Rock did not question him on this point, but changed the subject and said:
"Not long ago, Kudo Shinichi disappeared from the police's sight."
Conan's pupils suddenly dilated.
Rock leaned over and touched Conan's head, then suddenly took off his glasses.
"I actually had this feeling the first time I saw you. You and Kudo Shinichi's childhood file photo are exactly the same."
How is that possible?
I just disappeared not long ago!
How could someone go out of their way to check my file?
Conan lowered his head, his body trembled slightly, and his fingers clenched unconsciously.
Didn't he come to the Mori family to learn judo? Was it a diversion?
Orphan? Could he be a spy arranged by the Black Organization in the police?
Rock was pleased to see Conan's big reaction: "So, you look so similar! You must be a relative of Kudo!"
"Ah? Ah...hahaha! Big brother, you are really a famous detective! I am actually a distant cousin of Brother Shinichi!" Conan was relieved and scratched his head with a smile.
"Then I'll go first. Children, please be careful when you go back."
"Yeah, okay, big brother."
Watching Rock walking away, Conan finally felt relieved.
He turned around and walked towards home, breathing a sigh of relief, muttering softly: "I was scared to death, but fortunately I wasn't discovered."
"Yes, fortunately I wasn't discovered."
Rock's breath was close to Conan's ear.
It was a familiar, almost inaudible breath, like the breath of someone doing an assassination.
Conan stared blankly at the face so close behind him.
He also noticed the black clothes that Rock had never taken off!
