Chapter 23 The incident of the young detective team fighting monsters (Part 1)
The time goes back half an hour before Ji Xing was attacked.
Maori Detective Agency.
Mao Lilan answered the ringing phone.
“Hello, this is the Maori Detective Agency, looking for my dad? Please wait a moment.”
“Dad! Dad! I have a commission!”
Mosori Kogoro, who was watching Okino Yoko on TV, reluctantly looked away and answered the phone: "Moses Moses, this is Maori."
“Hello, Mr. Detective Mori, have you sobered up? This is Kuroki Kumashi who called at noon.” The person on the other side of the phone said.
Eh... Maori Kogoro glanced at Mao Lilan guiltily, covered the phone and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, what do you want to entrust?"
“That’s it. We are a board game company, and we would like to cooperate with you to develop a new board game. You...”
"It's you! I remembered!" Mouri Kogoro's voice suddenly became louder, "Didn't I warn you? If you call the door again, the police will arrest you. What kind of tabletop game company... Hey, it sounds familiar. ?”
Not far away, Conan, who was doing his homework, immediately looked up, and Mao Lilan was surprised: "Tabletop Games Co., Ltd.? That's not Senior Ji Xing..."
"Mr. Detective Maori, please don't hang up the phone, we are not liars..." Kuroki Kumaoshi on the other side of the phone quickly explained.
Mouri Kogoro was stunned: "The president of your club is that brat Ji Xingqixin?"
“…Mr. Detective Maori, please show some respect to our president!”
“Dad!” Mao Lilan also complained.
"Ah...Yes, yes, I'm sorry." Mouri Kogoro apologized unwillingly, and said: "You mean Ji Xingqi Xin's little... What game did the little president ask me to cooperate with? I am a detective, detective, and What do you have to work with?"
After all, even if we can cooperate, I will not cooperate with that hateful brat!
"That's it, Mr. Detective Maori, we need you to provide the details of the cases you have solved to use as the background of the board game. We are very sincere. Depending on the complexity of the case, we will pay you 50 for each case. The remuneration ranges from 10,000 yen to 1 million yen. If you are interested, I will visit you tomorrow to discuss the details."
Haha, what a mess.
Mouri Kogoro sneered in his heart, with a bright smile on his face: "Yes, yes, I am interested, then I will be waiting for your visit at the office tomorrow!"
After a few more polite words, Mouri Kogoro hung up the phone and his face suddenly fell.
“Damn it! You brat, you are so rich!”
“Dad!” Mao Lilan was helpless.
Conan rolled his eyes and hid the light in his eyes behind his glasses.
Ji Xing Qixin...is she back?
Since the last time he discovered Ji Xing's problem, Conan has wanted to contact Ji Xing several times to confirm whether Ji Xing's identity is what he guessed.
But this person seems to have disappeared recently, and I don’t know where he went.
Let the club run away, which makes the suspicion even greater.
Now... I have to find a chance to confirm it!
Conan did not expect at this time that the opportunity he wanted would be delivered to him a few days later.
…
Five days later, Monday.
Conan walked into the first-grade Class B classroom boredly with his bag on his back, and found that today's classroom was extremely lively and chaotic.
"Conan! You are finally here!" The cute little girl Yoshida Ayumi was still the first one to notice Conan's arrival. She jumped over and said, "Another transfer student is coming to our class today!"
“Really?” Conan was surprised.
“Hmm, there have been a lot of transfer students recently, but I don’t know if this time it will be a boy like you, Conan, or a girl like Haibara-san.” Ayumi Yoshida looked expectant.
“She must be a cute girl like Haibara-san.” Mitsuhiko came over and said while secretly glancing at the cute brown-haired girl.
“The boy is not bad.” Yuantai came over and said, “Our young detective team may have a useful younger brother like Conan.”
Haha... Conan rolled his eyes, walked back to his seat, and whispered to Haihara Ai at the same table: "When I heard about the transfer students, the first thing that came to my mind was that there was another person in the same situation as the two of us. Guy?"
Hui Yuan Ai pursed her lips and smiled: "Did I scare you out of your shadow last time? Great Detective."
“Hehe...hehe...”
Conan laughed dryly, recalling the scene where the genius scientist from the black organization beside him coldly read out the drug APTX4869 that made him smaller, and also said that Dr. A Li was killed by her.
That time it almost scared him to death.
This woman with a bad taste.
The two first-year students, who are both adults and adults, don't care about the situation of the transfer students at all, but the other children are talking about the class with great interest.
The discussion came about when the head teacher, Mr. Xiaolin, brought the new classmate into the classroom.
The classroom fell into a brief silence.
Mitsuhiko sighed: "What, another Genta is here?"
“It seems like...” Other students echoed.
Yuantai shook his fist angrily: "Hey, you guys..."
She writes on the blackboard. “Jixing Haotai!”
Ji Xing? Many children were stunned, feeling familiar. Conan and Haihara Ai's expressions changed slightly... Is it that Ji Xing?
“That’s right, Ji Xing Kota’s brother is the talented high school student Ji Xing Qishin who founded the Board Game Co., Ltd. You often play the games he designed, and the teacher’s drawer is full.”
"Those are all mine, teacher..." Mitsuhiko muttered, and soon became excited. He is really the younger brother of Ji Xing Qixin's brother. Does he know many advanced gameplay and skills of the game?
There are also collection cards and special cards…
“Haotai-san, come sit here with me!”
The classmates who just disliked the arrival of Yuantai all became enthusiastic. The kid didn't have any utilitarianism, he just simply thought, 'His brother is great, so he will definitely be great too. I want to be friends with him! ’
Little Pangdun was used to this and was not too happy, so he found a seat and sat down at random.
After the first period of class, the children immediately gathered around Ji Xinghaotai at the end of class.
“Hey, Haotai-san, is your family very rich?”
“Yantai can eat four bowls of rice in one meal, can you do the same?”
"You must have collected all the "I am Detective" collection cards, right? Have you brought them over?"
After all, he is a child. Ji Xinghaotai quickly lost himself in the compliments of his new classmates. He raised his head proudly and said, "What is there to collect about that detective collection card? I can have as many as I want. It's boring. Let you take a look at this." …”
He took out a stack of cards from his bag and laid them out on the table. The surroundings were silent for a moment.
“This, is this...?”
“Kamen Rider...gold card?”
“Super rare...complete set?!”
"Wow!"
The children exploded, many of them were so envious that their eyes were red: "Haotai is so awesome!"
Yuantai, the leader of the Junior Detective Team, said anxiously: "Haotai, you have met the conditions to join our Junior Detective Team, join us!"
“…Youth Detective Team?” Haotai was stunned.
“It’s so awesome.”
“We have solved many cases!”
“Although it was not reported in the newspapers, many of the cases solved by the sleeping famous detective Mori Kogoro were thanks to our help!”
Yuantai and others blew one after another.
Conan watched from the outside.
“This younger brother of Ji Xingqixin seems to have no problem at all... That’s right. If Ji Xingqixin is from that organization, there is no way he can let his younger brother know about it and see the problem...”
But beyond his expectation, Ji Xinghaota, who said he was considering joining the Junior Detective Team, quietly found them before school.
“You...have really solved many, many cases and are you famous detectives?”
"Of course!" Genta pushed Conan out: "This is my number one brother, Conan. His reasoning is only half as good as mine, which is enough to solve most cases!"
Conan was speechless, while Huihara Ai snickered.
Haotai hesitated for a few seconds, then lowered his voice and said, "Will you accept my commission?"
Yuantai's eyes lit up. The Young Detective Group has not opened for a long time, and... this client should be very rich: "What commission?"
“Fight the monster!” Haotai gritted his teeth.
"…What?"
“Fight the monsters!” Ji Xinghaotai repeated.
"I'll tell you a secret. You must not tell it. My brother Ji Xingqixin seems to have been possessed by a man-eating monster two years ago. I collect Masked Superman cards just to use the power of Masked Superman. , defeat the monster!”
The children were stunned for a moment.
Such a big commission…
Is this also something we can do?
But...so excited!
“Could it be that...he is Gomera?!”
“Maybe it’s the Baltans!”
“No wonder it’s so powerful!”
“Leave it to us!” Yuantai patted his chest and agreed, without even asking about the reward.
Conan and Haihara Ai looked at each other speechlessly.
Do you really believe it? These brats.
But...'Children's senses are very keen, and if they get along day and night, they will really find that certain changes are reasonable. According to him, Ji Xingqixin's personality and behavior should have changed significantly two years ago. Adults would only regard it as growth, but innocent children would regard it as...
So, there is only one truth!
Ji Xingqixin joined that organization two years ago! ’
Behind Conan's lens, a light flashed!
