On the way home from school, Conan rubbed his chin and muttered
According to the agreement, after we each went home to prepare, we would meet again at the street corner later to go to the writer's home for an interview.
"It is said that he is a writer for a famous women's magazine. Maybe Xiao Ai knows about it, right?" I turned to look at Xiao Ai.
"Sa, I don't know. I read more European and American magazines." Xiao Ai responded calmly.
"Will you treat us to eel rice?" Yuantai still did not give up his favorite.
"This is impossible Genta-kun, are you going to show off eating eel rice in front of the national audience?" Mitsuhiko looked at Genta with a serious face: "That way you will embarrass our detective team! "
"Eh? Will there be people from the TV station and cameras?" Stars flashed in Ayumi's big eyes.
"Is it possible? After all, we are the 'boy detective team resurrected in the 21st century'!" Mitsuhiko said proudly, puffing up his chest.
"Huh? Where is Zhen Yuren?" Conan turned around and looked around, and found that one person was missing, so he couldn't help but ask.
"As for Mayu, she was picked up right after school. She seems to be under strict supervision at home recently." After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly found that I could no longer retrieve the name in my mind. "Shinji" looks like a man.
Well, forget it, it¡¯s not my grandfather anyway
"Ah? She won't be here for the interview later, either?"
"it's a pity."
Mitsuhiko and Ayumi looked at each other after hearing this, and both let out a disappointed sigh.
"Then let's meet here as promised in half an hour! No one is allowed to be late! Got it!" When everyone reached the intersection, Yuantai said to everyone seriously
? emphasized.
¡°Yuan Taijun is the one, don¡¯t accidentally get the time wrong!¡± Mitsuhiko retorted with curled lips.
"Then let's go first. Conan, classmate Minghui, and Xiao Ai, see you later."
Seeing Ayumi wave to us and disperse with Genta and Mitsuhiko, I couldn't help but sigh and look at the sunset in the distance.
The boy detective team resurrected in the 21st century?
"What's wrong?" Conan looked at me strangely.
"I guess you are remembering that game not long ago?" Xiao Ai is always the person who understands me best.
"Well, I was thinking, it would be great if Hiroki was still alive." I shook my head with some regret.
If that person was still around, the world might become a little more interesting
"All of this is his own choice No," Conan sighed when he mentioned Hiroki, and then corrected his statement: "It is the only option left to him in this world."
Hiroki¡¯s game is called ¡°Cocoon¡±, so why isn¡¯t this world a game called ¡°Cocoon¡±?
Whether it¡¯s Conan, me, or Xiao Ai, who among you doesn¡¯t have the same dream as Hiroki, hoping to have a ¡°Noah¡¯s Ark¡± to carry you and your loved ones to escape this absurd world?
It¡¯s a pity that there are no such convenient things in this world.
"Two grown men are standing here, feeling sad about spring and autumn. Aren't you ashamed?" There was a hint of winter frost in Xiao Ai's contemptuous eyes, which wiped away the little melancholy that Conan and I had just felt. net.
"Instead of being immersed in the past, you might as well think about it, after the interview is over, what should you do if that person really writes the report? If that person is really famous. "
Xiao Ai deliberately emphasized the word "very famous", which made Conan and I look at each other. I thought about it, gave Xiao Ai a thumbs up, and smiled confidently: "No problem!"
"What do you want to do?!" Conan looked at me alertly.
"As long as all the newspaper's website data is hacked later, it's no problem! Technically speaking, there is no difficulty." I showed Conan a harmless smile.
"What a big problem! That's illegal!" Conan objected loudly.
"Then kill the editor-in-chief of the newspaper?"
"That's a crime!"
"Then we have to kill the main writer."
¡°I¡¯m going to call the police!¡±
"You are really difficult to deal with" Looking at Conan's serious eyes, I knew that this guy was really not joking about calling the police.
? ?Well, I'll admit it, I wasn't entirely kidding either.
"I don't object to you two playing tricks, but if you don't go back and change your clothes, you won't be able to come back to gather in a while. By then, Mr. Xiaodao may blame you again. Go, go." Xiao Ai said with a look of disgust. He generally waved his hands at me and Conan and chased me and Conan back, as if he was swatting bugs off his clothes.
"Oh, yes, then we are going back too," I glanced at my watch and grabbed Conan's collar: "Then we will go back first. You don't have to worry about the report. Anyway, the topic of the interview is 'Detective Team' 'Instead of this guy, as long as he doesn't commit suicide and jump out, no one will notice this guy through such a small article."
"What do you mean by 'this guy'! After all, I am also your brother, can you respect me?"
"That's just a pretend 'setting', right? I really can't stand you"
"Don't pull my collar! If it's wrinkled, Xiaolan will nag me!"
"I know, I know."
¡¡
After going back and putting down our schoolbags, Conan and I simply changed into casual clothes and walked out of the office together. On the way, I chatted with Conan and thought about the company.
It only took ten minutes to walk from the intersection on the office road where we agreed to meet. The campaign vehicle promoting the election passed me and Conan four times, and the loudspeaker kept shouting "Please support xx". It's annoying to me and makes me very upset.
The originally unclear train of thought was disrupted by the loudspeaker and became even more chaotic.
Why on earth is that Sento Junji coming to trouble us? For election?
"If that's the case, if he is engaging in such a lame blackmail game now, isn't he taking the initiative to give his opponent a handle?"
Are you really short of money? No, no, no, as long as you are not a fool, you will basically understand that this kind of "robbery" method will never make money.
??Could it be said that that Sentou Junji is actually a fool?
¡°Hey, hey!¡±
"Hmmah?" My thoughts were forcibly pulled back by the shaking hands in front of my eyes. I turned my head and looked at Conan questioningly.
"Since just now, I see that you have been absent-minded. What are you thinking about?"
"Hey, Conan, do you still remember the case of throwing a mobile phone in Poaro?" There was a fly calling "election" flying back and forth in my ear all the time. I couldn't help but think of the previous work in the affairs I asked Conan about a case that happened in the cafe downstairs - Poaro.
"Of course I remember, isn't it the phone with the secret password for election bribery? What's wrong?" Conan looked at me puzzled.
"You saida person knows that something cannot be done, but still knowingly does it. Why?" I asked, murmuring to myself.
"That Sento Junji comes from a political family. If he is just a pure actor and doesn't know what the taboos are about running for office, I won't believe it to death.
The Japanese people have always been very sensitive to scandals involving politicians, including vote bribery, coercion, violence, and even personal indiscretions. As long as they are involved in a little bit during the election campaign, it will definitely cause huge fluctuations in the vote. Even if it is a completely innocent candidate, being involved in it will definitely cause huge fluctuations in the vote. Trying to clear up the grievances after such a thing happened is totally worth the loss.
From this point of view, even if Sentou Junji fired his bodyguards and cleared the relationship afterwards, once this kind of thing is exposed, he will never be able to get it back, and no matter how much money he has, it will be useless.
If that¡¯s the case, then why?
Human beings are instinctively self-interested animals. This Sentou Shunji obviously violated this point, and his actions were completely unreasonable.
"You know you can't do it but you still do it? There is only one reason that can explain that kind of thing." Conan tilted his head and thought for a while, then looked at me¡ª¡ª
"That is, when the benefits outweigh the risks."
"The profit outweighs the risk? What if there is no profit?" I thought about it carefully, but I still couldn't figure out Sentou Junji's motives. I always felt that a key link was missing in the reasoning.
¡°In that case, there is only one situation, that is, you just haven¡¯t found the ¡®benefits¡¯ this person is pursuing, but it¡¯s not that there is none.¡± Conan said decisively.
It makes sense.
After listening to Conan¡¯s words, I couldn¡¯t help but nodded.
It seems that Conan, like me, does not believe that there are people in this world who take risks without any purpose. That Sentou Junji must have some reason that I don't know, which makes him worthy of taking such a risk. It seems that we need to be more careful in collecting intelligence about this Sentou Junji.??.
"So, I know you are nervous about the people around you, especially Haiyuan." I was still deep in thought, but Conan suddenly put his hands on my shoulders and looked at me seriously.
"Eh?"
"We have to protect the people around us, and we have to overthrow the organization, but this matter cannot be rushed. You must not act recklessly and risk doing illegal and criminal things just because of impulse!"
Conan¡¯s expression was more serious than ever.
Although I don¡¯t know how Conan¡¯s brain circuit jumped, he seemed to think that I was going to take risks and do something.
Cross-server chat? Well, it's quite interesting.
Looking at Conan¡¯s serious expression, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit of mischief.
"If the organization has not been knocked down, but you are caught by the police because of your impulse, you may even be injured or"
"Death?" I smiled slightly and said the word that Conan was hesitant to say.
Conan paused for a moment, but in the end he still couldn't utter the word. He just looked at me seriously: "Think about it, at that time, who could be by Haiyuan's side to protect her all the time?!"
"Isn't there still you?" I said jokingly.
"Don't be ridiculous! There are so many people around us, including doctors, Uncle Maori, Xiaolan, mom and dad, and even Sonoko. How can I take care of this alone!" Conan grabbed my collar and said, A rare trace of ferocity appeared on his face.
"That is to say, because you have to protect your lover first, you can't take care of Xiao Ai?" I looked at Conan with a slight sneer.
"I did not mean that!"
"Oh? Then what do you mean?" I lowered my head slightly and looked at Conan's hand with faint veins: "Yes, your power alone is very small, and the organization is terrible. You can't protect so many people, so there are so many problems coming¡¡"
"If one day, the organization suddenly blasts multiple points, targeting Xiaolan, Uncle Maori, Doctor and Xiaoai at the same time, and you only have time to save one person, then how do you choose?"
"This is not" The anger on Conan's face suddenly froze.
"You want to say this is impossible?" I looked at Conan with a half-smile: "I didn't expect that after dealing with the organization for so long, you are still so naive. Do you think your identity can be concealed for a lifetime? Or do you think the organization can't Ability to act as I say?¡±
"" Facing my questioning, Conan was speechless.
"Sa, let's choose. On the scale of life, there is Xiaolan on one side and other people on the other. Which one do you think is heavier?" I looked at Conan who was covered in cold sweat with a mocking look, admiring how he became more and more anxious. Pale face.
"Snapped!"
I didn¡¯t wait for Conan¡¯s answer, but unexpectedly got a punch from Conan.
"Asshole! Stop looking down on people! All human lives are equal! There is no way to use simple addition and subtraction to measure it! No matter who it is, I will try my best to save it! It has nothing to do with who this person is or what his name is. It doesn¡¯t matter! You don¡¯t need a reason to save others!¡±
He punched me hard. Conan gasped and stared at me fiercely.
This is really the first time I have seen Conan with such a fierce look. Maybe this time, my joke was a bit too much.
I took two steps back and looked up at Conan with a smile: "That means that if Xiaolan and I are in danger at the same time, and I am closer to you at that time, you will give priority to saving me?"
"Of course!" Conan blurted out without thinking.
"Although I am very grateful for your thoughtfulness, I will tell you now that I am talking about this, so as not to forget it in the future." I waved my hand to dust off my body and looked at Conan seriously: "If it's true If something like that happens, I hope you can save Xiaolan first, I am serious, I will only say this once, you must keep it in your heart."
"Ah, it's Minghui and Conan! Really, you guys are too slow! Hurry up!"
Ayumi's excited voice came from the other side of the road. When I looked up, I found that Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko had already dressed up and were waiting at the meeting place.
Ayumi is wearing a pink skirt with cute lace embroidered on the skirt. When she jumps up, the skirt floats like a pink cloud. The small bright red rose on the neckline is also particularly beautiful.
Seeing Ayumi¡¯s pink and tender hands constantly swinging towards me and Conan, my originally depressed mood instantly became cheerful.
"Oh! We are?Past! "I responded and was about to run over.
"Wait a minute!" Conan's sudden voice stopped me in my tracks.
"If you were faced with such a choice, what would you choose?"
Looking at Conan's probing eyes, I couldn't help but laugh: "Only children make choices. If it were me, I would strangle all the sprouts in their infancy from the beginning and never let them happen. Opportunity. When everyone is happy, that¡¯s the real happy end, isn¡¯t it?¡±
"Huh?" My answer obviously exceeded Conan's expectations, and Conan's tense expression became funny.
"What? That answer is too cunning! You are cheating!"
"Who asked you to punch me?"
Not long after waiting, Teacher Xiao Lin and Xiao Ai also arrived belatedly. Like Bumi and others, Teacher Xiao Lin, who never wore heavy makeup in school, dressed up quite carefully for the interview this time. Ichiban not only changed her glasses to invisible ones, but also put on a long one-piece dress that she never wears normally. The well-tailored clothes set off her exquisite body curves, and there was also a circle of furry decoration on the shoulders, which revealed A little bit cute.
But before commenting on this outfit, there is another question that made several of us dumbfounded.
That is, Teacher Kobayashi without glasses is at least 80% similar to Officer Sato!
¡ Couldn¡¯t they be long-lost biological sisters?
"Teacher, I remember you have hay fever, right?" Conan looked at Teacher Xiaolin's dress and said speechlessly.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Teacher Xiaolin looked at Conan with a question mark.
"Well, although it is almost early winter, your furry decoration will still be stained with a lot of dust and other things, which is very bad for your hay fever." I explained to Teacher Xiaolin.
¡°Also, pollen allergies are not suitable for wearing contact lenses. It is better to switch to ordinary glasses.¡± Xiao Ai added on the side.
"I know, I know." We remember that Teacher Xiaolin retorted speechlessly. He just muttered, took out his glasses from his bag and put them on, and puffed his cheeks rather childishly.
"It seems that the writer today is probably more handsome." I leaned into Xiao Ai's ear and pretended to whisper, but in fact everyone present could hear the sound.
"It seems so." Xiao Ai responded with a chuckle.
Yes! yes! yes!
Seeing Xiao Ai¡¯s crystal clear little ears twitching excitedly, I wished I could jump up and cheer loudly!
It has been a long time since I have been so close to Xiao Ai. Who can understand my loneliness without Xiao Ai.
¡°That¡¯s so long-winded!¡± Teacher Xiaolin scolded us with a slightly red face, and then led everyone towards the agreed-upon interview location¡ªthe writer¡¯s apartment.
And I took advantage of my free time to send a message to the housekeeper.
¡ª¡ªInvestigate Qiandu Shunsi¡¯s family financial situation and family social activities in the past three months.
After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at our destination.
A very ordinary two-story apartment with about a dozen rooms, each room seems to be about the size of six tatami mats.
It seems that although this writer claims to be a well-known women's magazine writer, he is actually not doing well, and his influence is probably not that great.
If we do interviews in the house, it seems impossible to take photos.
There are no photographers, no TV stations, no beautiful hosts, and of course, no eel rice.
Ayumi and the others were all dressed up in vain.
The few kiddies who realized this suddenly changed from being full of interest to being dejected.
But life is so strange sometimes. When you think it is the most boring, it will often give you an unexpected stimulus.
Our ¡°popular¡± contributor, Mr. Masato Sugimori, died in his apartment. The small room was filled with splatters of blood.
"There is no need to call an ambulance. The body is completely stiff. It seems that it has been more than half a day since death."
Teacher Xiao Lin, who was blocked by Xiao Ai, looked at Conan checking the body in the room with a confused look on his face. His feet went weak and he almost sat on the ground.
"Death lasts more thanhalf, half a day?" Teacher Xiaolin's outlook on life, which he has built up over many years as a teacher, is beginning to shake.
