Chapter 309 Mrs. Suzuki, Let’s Start From the Ferris Wheel
In this world where detectives are extremely respected, everything that has something to do with detectives can basically be understood.
Even if the fake child Edogawa Conan shows prodigy-like talents and abilities, as long as he says "My name is Edogawa Conan, and I'm a detective", the opponent will inexplicably show a look of sudden enlightenment.
Then give up all resistance and enter the mode of recalling and apologizing.
The deterrent power of detectives is much stronger than that of police officers, agents, and even terrorists.
Take "Sleeping Kogoro" for example. After he became famous, he was invited by the police to become a case consultant many times, often appeared on TV shows, and was invited to various elite dinners.
Although he is addicted to smoking, drinks all day, likes to gamble on horses, play mahjong, and drink wine, he is still a positive character.
He is a righteous detective recognized by most people.
In other words, even if the detectives have some flaws, as long as they don't commit crimes, they are still "idols" respected by the world.
Just like the tolerance of Neon to great writers in the real world.
And here, the detective is also like this.
What's more, famous detectives are guys with very different personalities.
Kudo Shinichi, Hattori Heiji, Maori Kogoro.
Even the "White Fox Prince of the Heisei Era" who has recently emerged has certain shortcomings.
If there is a little "accident", these personality defects will become the fatal shortcomings of the famous detective.
A famous detective is someone who can see through the criminal's mind.
This also means that they are the criminals who are most likely to commit a perfect crime!
Maori Detective Agency, second floor office.
"Dad! Why did you drink so much again?!"
Xiaolan put her hands on her hips, very angry.
The room was filled with the smell of rotten wine and heavy smoke. Maori Kogoro collapsed on the sofa without any image and fell asleep.
His body was tilted in an awkward posture, one arm hanging weakly on the edge of the sofa, the other on his stomach, his hair was messy, as if it had been ravaged by a strong wind, and a few strands of hair were stubbornly curled up, as if protesting against the owner's neglect of them.
The neat shirt became wrinkled, and the collar buttons were unbuttoned, revealing a red neck, which was one of the marks left by alcohol on the body.
On the desk next to it, empty wine bottles were placed here and there, some of which were still dripping with residual wine, and the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.
Mao Lilan only stayed at her mother's house for a few days, but at this time, Mao Li Detective Agency was like an Inpart that had been open for a month.
As if sensing Xiaolan's anger, Mao Li Kogoro twitched his mouth, smacked it twice, and continued to sleep.
Xiaolan raised her hand and was about to raise her fist to let her drunken old father feel the love of the leaky little cotton jacket.
But she found that her feet were a little sticky, and the girl lowered her head.
It was a few pieces of paper stuck together because of the wine.
Xiaolan sighed and did not choose to let Kogoro feel the belated fatherly love and filial piety. She lowered her body and carefully picked up the wrinkled and wet old paper.
Although Maori Kogoro is drunk all day long, most of the information in the agency is useful.
It may be the agreement signed by the client, or it may be various information collected to complete the commission.
Although Kogoro now throws these things around like garbage, after sobering up, he still has to pick them up and put them away with a headache and heartache.
After all, no matter how bad a bastard is, he has to complete the task entrusted by the client.
Neon is a place that attaches great importance to credibility. Kogoro doesn't want his sign to go out as soon as it lights up.
After retiring from the police force for so many years, Maori Kogoro knows how difficult it is to be a detective.
A retired detective like him who is proficient in judo, gunmanship, driving and other skills has only been tepid in running a detective agency for so many years, and occasionally can receive some serious commissions.
Before Conan came, he could only barely keep the agency in a state of balance between income and expenditure.
The status of a famous detective is indeed lofty, but it is piled up by a bunch of ordinary detectives who are unknown and serve as background boards.
Maori Kogoro knew this very well.
After all, he was one of the unknown background boards.
But thinking is one thing, doing is another.
In Maori Kogoro's unclear memory, he only vaguely remembered that his daughter was going to stay at that woman's house for a few days.
According to the phone call the day before yesterday, Xiaolan would be back the day after tomorrow.
Then wait until tomorrow to clean up.
Anyway, if I clean up now, it will be a mess after drinking in the evening, so it is better to save it and do a big cleaning when I wake up tomorrow.
Maori Kogoro thought that what he thought was right, and then he chose to continue his life of drunkenness and dream without hesitation.
But he didn't expect that his daughter Xiaolan might come back early.
Xiaolan put the blurred "yellow paper" on the cabinet beside her.
Let's use a hair dryer to dry it later.
Thinking so in his heart, his hands did not stop.
Maori Kogoro looked like he would have to sleep until the afternoon before he could wake up.
Even if she called out, she couldn't get her drunk father to come with her to clean up. The drunken middle-aged man would be the best help to Xiaolan if he didn't cause any more trouble.
So, she had to come by herself.
Xiaolan skillfully tore off the garbage bag from the drawer, sorted the wine cans and bottles, and did not forget to check whether there were any scattered documents on the table and the floor.
Maori Kogoro was sleeping soundly.
Xiaolan has become accustomed to such a father.
However, she did not notice that the yellowed papers stacked together had blurred handwriting on them, and words such as "divorce judgment" could be vaguely seen.
Alcoholic father, divorced mother, school-age brother, and broken self
"Eight o'clock, bar."
This text message flashed on the mobile phone screen.
Then, before Luke replied to receive it, the text message was automatically deleted and disappeared.
Luke curled his lips.
This kind of unquestionable approach is really in line with the style of the organization.
No, it should be said that it is in line with Gin's style.
Since Shirley disappeared, Tequila was accidentally killed in the bombing, Pisk's mission failed, and many other organizational personnel were missing, the work pressure of the Black Organization has been increasing.
Not to mention Gin, the hard worker of the organization, even Luke, a lazy character, had to be dragged to do more tasks.
Because of the excessive work pressure, Luke has recently planned to kill the boss and relieve the burden.
All countries arrange undercovers, organize stable research, and everyone is happy.
Why has this old man started to rebel in recent days?
Luke muttered in his heart and adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror.
He said hello to Eri Kisaki and left the hotel first.
Eri Kisaki lay on the bed and groaned, which was considered as an agreement.
I don’t know if he heard it clearly or not.
Luke has something to do today.
Mrs. Suzuki invited him to participate in the opening ceremony of an amusement park.
Well, the reward requires a private chat in person.
The Suzuki Group always likes to make some strange and weird treasures, huge airships, Suzuki Towers, amusement parks
Large scale, high cost, and amazing damage rate.
Basically, whenever the Suzuki Group excitedly showed them to the world, these wonders would be scrapped soon for various reasons.
Explosions, poisonous gas, deaths
Although they have been defeated repeatedly, the Suzuki Group has never given up its ambition to build wonders.
Just like the old man Suzuki who has been chasing the Kaito Kid for half his life.
He can't catch him every time, but he tries to catch him every time.
For him and the Suzuki Group's weird behavior, the people below think that they are rich and have nothing to do.
Anyway, it's not their own money that is lost, and the wonders built by the Suzuki Group have also solved many economic problems.
Preparations beforehand and maintenance afterwards.
It can make these small groups and companies below eat their fill.
It can also be regarded as a benefit to the local area.
Mrs. Suzuki originally didn't value these things very much, after all, they couldn't bring high profits.
But her husband seemed to have an amazing obsession with this.
She simply let it go and regarded it as his personal hobby.
But what Mrs. Suzuki didn't expect was that her husband's personal hobby actually played an unexpected role in some places.
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for Mrs. Suzuki to get in touch with Luke.
After all, one is the wife of a wealthy family, and the other is just a famous detective with a little fame, and their previous careers were not very open.
She is a traditional consortium wife, not like the group of women in the circle who play with each other.
Mrs. Suzuki still has to have some face.
Not to mention that this guy is the boyfriend that her daughter likes.
As a mother-in-law, she can't hang out with her son-in-law every day.
Even if it's just a regular meeting, it won't work!
So, after thinking hard, Mrs. Suzuki found a suitable reason.
When the Suzuki Consortium wants to hold a dinner party or a ceremony to reward guests for the opening of the company, just send an invitation to Luke.
In this world of Neon, famous detectives are qualified to enter the upper class.
These presidents and chairmen are not really fools. In less than a year, I don't know how many colleagues have died.
Make friends with a famous detective, you never know when you can use him.
Because of his outstanding appearance, Luke received many meaningful "invitations" from wealthy ladies.
Of course, all these invitations were rejected by Mrs. Suzuki.
This is the man her daughter values, and he is also the future helmsman of the Suzuki Group.
With this excuse of being a righteous man, basically no one will come to make trouble.
Few people who can sneak into the upper-class banquet are fools, and everyone knows what is not for sale and what is a trial product.
They don't want to offend a behemoth like the Suzuki Group in person because of a man.
If there is anything, it's not too late to talk about it later.
The wealthy ladies are much more playful about this than their "husbands" who are out drinking and partying.
And Mrs. Suzuki can often use these things that she used to think were extremely tedious and useless to fill the emptiness in her heart and body.
"Knight, long time no see."
Mrs. Suzuki's beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light, and Luke smiled gently.
The two clinked their glasses and drank the bright red wine in one gulp.
Mrs. Suzuki bit her lip lightly.
She hadn't competed with her knight for a long time.
"Long time no see, madam, I didn't expect you to like the amusement park too."
Luke put the wine glass on the table.
Mrs. Suzuki covered her mouth and chuckled.
For children, amusement parks are the best paradise.
So, for a beautiful young woman like her, what is a place called an amusement park?
Unknowingly, the two figures disappeared into the reception.
The guests attending the banquet did not pay attention.
Mrs. Suzuki has not supported the development of these projects in the past. She came here just to support her husband and the Suzuki Foundation.
Being able to show up at the banquet means that Mrs. Suzuki respects them enough.
As for Luke, this gorgeous white fox son, in the eyes of the corrupt businessman whose heart is occupied by money, he is just a diamond in appearance.
Detectives are indeed important.
A handsome detective is more important.
But it is not as important as this drunken upper class society.
Everyone wants to go further, otherwise they would not be here. The profit-seeking ambition blinds the businessman's only chance to see the truth.
What's more, Luke, who is almost like a god, will not let a group of ignorant little characters disturb his "game".
"Madam, let's start with the Ferris wheel."
A villa in Mihua Town.
Miyano Akemi brought out the dishes from the kitchen with a smile.
The brown-haired loli sitting on the chair looked sad.
"Sister, I think that's enough."
Ever since she was rescued by Margaret, her sister has been taking care of her daily life in this villa.
And she also changed her name to Huihara Ai and became an ordinary primary school student in Didan Primary School.
Perhaps to make up for past regrets, Miyano Akemi's current care is a bit too "radical" for Haibara Ai.
She really, really couldn't eat like this anymore.
In the original timeline, Haibara Ai became Dr. A Li's housekeeper, strictly controlling Dr. A Li's daily diet and urging Dr. A Li to lose weight.
But now, under the care of Miyano Akemi, she has a faint tendency to develop horizontally towards Dr. Agasa.
"No, Shiho, children can't be picky eaters."
Miyano Akemi gently advised her like a wife taking care of her children.
At the same time, he pushed the meal towards Huihara Ai without any explanation.
Hui Yuan Ai's face showed a look of pain.
After so many days of companionship, my sister has determined how much she eats.
In other words, it is definitely possible to eat these things.
But if you want to maintain the most suitable weight in the eyes of girls, it is undoubtedly impossible.
"Shiho, only by eating well can you have a perfect figure."
As if aware of what Shiho was thinking, Miyano Akemi added another sentence.
Shiho looked thin because he was taken care of by an organization when he was a child and did not plan his diet properly.
This means that she is not very similar to her sister.
Presumably Luke also hopes that Shiho will have a more perfect figure.
Miyano Akemi's smile was as bright as a flower.
Hui Yuan Ai chose to admit defeat and ate the food with a grimace.
Originally, she loved to eat the food cooked by her sister.
But now, Hui Yuan Ai just wants to say one thing:
Luke save me! (End of chapter)
