Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

One day in early spring, next to the Nihombashi Police Station in Tokyo, around nine o'clock in the evening.

A patrolling police officer was standing by the side of the passing traffic, helping passers-by to guide the way. Suddenly, a man in a suit staggered to the bridge, staggering as if he was drunk.

Because I only saw the back view, I am not sure about the age, but the hairstyle should be middle-aged.

Medium build, well-dressed, a dark brown suit looks high-end, probably a drunk boss...

The patrol watched the man go all the way to the unicorn statue in the middle of the Nihonbashi trail.

It was two unicorn bronze statues with back-to-back wings used to decorate the lamp post, and the man leaned on the pedestal in a very uncomfortable look.

Shaking his head helplessly, the patrolman walked up to the bridge and asked, "Are you all right? Are you drunk?"

The man held on to the stone bridge with difficulty breathing, his blood-stained hands were trembling, and he was struggling to lift a red-stained white paper crane.

The paper crane was blown away with the evening wind, and the man seemed to have lost all his strength. A reassuring smile appeared on his face in pain, and he suddenly closed his eyes and fell on his back, with a dagger stuck in his abdomen, blood on his white shirt Dyed a dazzling red.

"Hello!" The inspector was taken aback, quickened his pace and rushed to the front, tremblingly looking at the man's abdomen.

"Emergency call! This is Yasuda, an injury has occurred... In front of the Nihonbashi Kirin Statue, please call for an ambulance to come to the scene for support!"

...

Kido Detective Agency, Maid Cafe.

Gao Cheng was sitting comfortably by the window, drinking hot coffee while reading newspapers,

"I'm Kido Kosei, a detective, and I usually work hard to accept commissions, but I always fail to make money for various reasons..."

"Recently, I have to take up the case of investigating an affair again, and the economic situation has finally improved a bit."

"I'm seen like this, but I'm actually the owner of a luxurious mansion, yes, the original Twilight Annex Karasuma Renye Mansion, now renamed the Kido Mansion, although it looks like a haunted house on the outside, there are historical bloodstains inside , many people died...but the whole annex is actually painted with gold..."

"What? Certainly not a villa made of gold,

Regardless of whether there is so much gold, gold itself is not easy to build such a magnificent villa... But overall, the actual value of the Kido Mansion is still worth hundreds of billions of yen..."

"This is me, a famous detective with a huge amount of hidden wealth, so a little hard life is nothing..."

Gao Cheng turned a page of the newspaper and looked at the Nihonbashi Murder Incident that took up half of the page. The incident that happened only yesterday was published in the newspaper early in the morning. Obviously, the police have not released specific information...

It's a world full of incidents.

"Yes, this is the world of Conan. Although I usually do boring jobs, I often encounter bloody murders. I can't remember how many cases I have participated in the investigation so far..."

"The motive is nothing more than revenge, fame and fortune, or emotional factors. In a sick world, I don't know how much impact the murder will have..."

"My ambition is to become the world's number one detective, although I have been active in Japan... Sometimes I am tired of right and wrong in the detective industry, especially revenge murder, who is right and who is wrong, what is justice and what It's evil... who can tell?"

"There are still many people who thought they were revenge and found out that they were misunderstandings, such as Suzumori Somi from the ski club, and those who were lost in violence, such as the guard who committed crimes continuously because his son was hit by a car, even the innocent Sonoko almost implicated..."

"At least modern times are a society of laws. If everyone ignores the laws, God knows what kind of chaos the world will be in..."

"It's like banning guns. While you can shoot others with a gun, it also means that countless people can aim their guns at themselves. It's even more unlucky to encounter some lunatic who shoots in the street..."

Gao Cheng leaned back on the seat, sniffed the smell of coffee enjoyably, and secretly poured all four cubes of creamer into it.

Cool!

"As long as I have a drink like this every time, I have no troubles..."

"Crack!" A small hand suddenly reached out in front of Gao Cheng, and took the coffee away under Gao Cheng's staring gaze.

"Kiroto," Huiyuan put the coffee aside with a stern face, and asked with his back propped up, "I said, where did you get so much creamer?!"

"This..." Gao Cheng laughed dryly in cold sweat, "Xiao Ai, don't you want to settle accounts?"

"It's sorted out."

Huiyuan pressed a stack of documents in front of Gao Cheng.

"Taxes and living expenses are fine, but you have to decide other expenses..."

"Other expenses?" Gao Cheng was stunned, "Is there anything else?"

"The car rental company sent a compensation letter, including the maintenance cost of the car, a total of 300,000 yuan..."

"Why so many?!"

Gao Cheng stared at the bill.

Well, Xiao Ai did bump into a lot while driving along the Panshan Highway to the gas station, even the car door was gone...

Considering that Uncle Maori's car was directly bombed, it's acceptable.

"Is there anything else besides this?"

"Tottori Prefecture said that you need to pay for the reconstruction of that wooden bridge..."

"What else?" Gao Cheng was a little shorter.

"Such a big villa, why don't you leave it alone? Regardless of the housekeeper and maid, maintenance is always needed?" Huiyuan said with a blank look, "If you don't want to go to check often, you also need to install a phone... To be honest, I really don’t know why you bought that villa, except for the cheap price, it’s useless, it’s far and remote, and that place…”

"Is there any question?" Gao Cheng was a little shorter again.

"It's nothing." Huiyuan paused, looked away, and said, "In short, it's better to sell that villa, so that it won't be so hard."

"Xiao Ai," Gao Cheng became serious, put down the bill, stood up and looked at the crowd outside the window, "I can't sell it for the time being, at least until the century treasure can be exposed..."

"Century Treasure?" Huiyuan asked in confusion.

"That annex is worth hundreds of billions. Although it can't be opened yet, one day I will expose it to the sun and become a real twilight annex."

Gao Cheng squeezed his fist, and smiled at the confused Huiyuan: "When the time comes, the Kido Mansion might become a world-renowned building."

Huiyuan looked at Gao Cheng silently for a while, turned his head away and said, "You can do whatever you want... But, should you think of a way to deal with these expenses?"

"Money," Gao Cheng looked at a stack of bills, and said distressedly, "pay off the debt first, the rest can only be delayed for a while, let's talk about it when I have money."

This is the trouble of being an adult at home...

"Dididi!"

Gao Cheng's hands in his arms suddenly vibrated.

"Hello... yesterday's case? Is it over now? Okay... I see."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Cheng turned to Hui Yuan helplessly: "Something happened again, I'll go out for a while... By the way, are you going to a pottery class this afternoon?"

"Ok."

"Then I'll accompany you there this afternoon..."

"No need," Huiyuan shook his head and picked up the bill and said, "I'm not a child, so I can just go by myself, and go to work quickly."

Gao Cheng sweated slightly on his forehead.

At least the body is a child...

"Then contact me if there is any problem."
