Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 174 The End of the Year
"Cough cough!"

On the other end of the phone, the old man named Camu coughed twice, and said in a teasing tone, "Why, the little girl's wings are stiff? Forgot who brought you out of the slum?"

"Okay, of course I remember."

The girl said impatiently, "However, why did you call me so suddenly? I heard that you are still hanging around there. Haven't you already completed your mission?"

"Ha ha."

Camus chuckled in a hoarse tone, and then said, "For this, it's thanks to you. Otherwise, Asami Taro, I really couldn't find him."

"That's fine, since the task has been completed, why do you want to stay there?"

the girl asked puzzled.

"This person was able to hide under the organization's search for a full 16 years. I don't believe that such a guy has not left any behind."

Camus suddenly said excitedly.

"However, death is like a lamp going out, so what if there are more backups?"

The girl said with some annoyance.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about this."

Camus suddenly said seriously, "I called you today, just to tell you that it is a very good choice to stay in the United States as you, after all, the domestic situation is still too complicated..."

"Okay, okay, Camus."

A little tired, the girl said, "I understand what you said, but after all, I am not a child anymore."

Hearing this, the old man on the other end of the phone suddenly paused for a while, and then said with some emotion:

"Well, that's right. After all, you did a very good job last time. That fire wiped out everything on the scene. It seems that your growth has exceeded my expectations."

After speaking, the pair conveniently hung up the phone.

Regarding this, the girl threw the phone back on the table impatiently, and then slowly walked back to the bedroom.However, the girl did not continue to tidy up her clothes. Instead, she went to the desk beside the bed and sat down, thoughtfully opened the drawer of the desk, and took out a photo frame.

I saw that there was a photo in the photo frame.

The content of the photo is very strange, it was taken with a camera, a photo frame placed on the table.

And in the photo frame of this photo, there is also a photo. The background of the content is a building with the words "Experimental Building" written in English.In front of the building, there are two teenagers and girls standing side by side.

One of them was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with short brown hair.

The other was a boy of fifteen or sixteen with a stylish brown hairstyle.

The blond girl looked at the photo in this photo, then smiled lightly, stretched out her finger, stroked the face of the girl with short brown hair in the photo, smiled lightly, and muttered to herself:

"Unfortunately, the last time we met, you probably didn't know what happened. This time I go back, I really want to take a good look, what kind of expression will you show when you learn the truth——Sherry!"

But immediately, the blond girl remembered the last words Camus said on the phone just now, and couldn't help showing a smirk—it seems that what happened after I left!

This is really, interesting!

Thinking of this, the blond girl got up, put the photo frame into the suitcase, and then continued to organize the clothes.

……

"Logic: S"

"Knowledge: S"

"Observation: S"

"Phase [-] Comprehensive Evaluation: S"

"The promotion challenge is over, and the comprehensive evaluation of each stage of statistics and settlement will start"

"Comprehensive evaluation at each stage: B, S, S"

"Settlement Completed"

"Comprehensive evaluation of promotion challenge: A"

"Pass the grades, advance successfully, reward 200, award promotion reward"

Looking at the settlement screen, Gao Yuan couldn't help being a little happy. Although the score of "Phase [-]" was a bit low, fortunately, the scores in the latter part were enough.But I have to say that luck is a little bit better this time.

Thinking this way, a new text appeared.

"Detective Rating: Certified Detective"

"Having been certified as an official detective, your intuition has improved significantly, and you can better complete tracking and anti-tracking."

"Bounty: 1210"

"Advanced reward (not claimed)"

Seeing this, Gao Yuan didn't think too much about it, and decided to receive it immediately, and then a new text appeared:

"Advanced Reward: One-time Item"

"Name: God of Death"

"Special effects: You can choose one of the following two effects to use: ①Use it on yourself, and you will encounter a high probability of death in the next 24 hours. ②Use it on the dying person, in the next 24 hours (Note: This effect has side effects. Even if the dying person can be revived, there is a high probability that they will never be able to wake up.) After using any of these effects, this item will disappear.”

"How to use: Press the target's heart with your right hand, and then sincerely pray for the death to come."

Looking at the text description of this "one-time item", Gao Yuan couldn't help but hesitated for a moment, and then felt a little helpless—to be honest, if the text in brackets was not included in the second effect, it would be an extremely difficult task. A powerful prop, what a pity.

As for the first effect, it seems to have a similar effect when I stay by Kudo Shinichi's side!

"Yes, Mr. Wise."

Seeing that Gao Yuan who received the check was in a daze, Ooka Hongye couldn't help but reminded Gao Yuan, bringing Gao Yuan's attention back to reality.

"What's the matter, Miss Hongye?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help asking.

"The identity of the murderer has been found out."

Ooka Hongye said, "The other party seems to have misunderstood my family... Sorry, Mr. Sensible, I don't know how to explain it to you for a while."

"Well, no need."

Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "Since the police have already investigated this situation, it will be a matter of time before the murderer confesses, and I don't need to participate anymore."

"That's it."

Ooka Hongye said, "Then Mr. Wise, do you have any plans for the future?"

"If nothing else, I'm ready to go home."

Gao Yuan said truthfully, "After all, the New Year is coming soon."

In this regard, Hongye Ooka didn't say anything more. After sending Gaoyuan to the station of the Kyoto Shinkansen, the two said goodbye.

And Gao Yuan, because he got a huge amount of wealth this time, immediately rushed back to Tokyo, ready to make some renovations to his residence—especially the study room with the entrance to the basement.

After all, in the entire villa, apart from my own bedroom, there is only a bookcase in that room, which seems too abrupt. Anyone who is curious about it, the basement will be discovered soon.

So, for several days in a row, Gao Yuan was furnishing the study, bought a lot of high-end bookshelves to decorate the room, and bought a full set of mystery novels by Yusaku Kudo and Hiruhe Sunaga. Put it on the bookshelf, and then bought a lot of world-renowned reasoning works, as well as some miscellaneous books, and finally decorated this room to a degree similar to the study of the Kudo Shin family——

Now, unless you know it in advance, no one would think that there is an entrance to the basement hidden here!

However, after finishing all this, it was already the early morning of the last day of the year!After working so hard for so long, Gao Yuan looked at his completed masterpiece and fell asleep satisfied.

However, in the early morning of that day, before dawn and Gao Yuan was still sleeping, a woman with long black hair stood outside the iron gate of Gao Yuan's house, and carefully put a leaflet into the door outside the mailbox.
