Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 132 126. Conan: Oh no, my reputation is going to be ruined again?
If Suzuki Sonoko is the general contractor of the "Dark Star" project, then Hayashi Ryoma is the subcontractor under Suzuki Sonoko.

As for Dashang Zhushan, he was just a laborer who made a living by following Lin Longma.

In any case, when Suzuki Sonoko didn't say anything, there was nothing wrong with Okami Zhushan paying attention to Lin Ryoma's expression.

After all, even for a famous detective, it is sometimes difficult to meet a boss like Hayashi Ryoma who is generous and happy to pay.

Haven’t you seen that Kogoro Mouri is almost the one who has solved the most cases recently among all the famous detectives?

But do you see any obvious improvement in Kogoro Mori's quality of life and financial situation after resolving so many incidents?
Stop joking. The client is either dead or in jail. Who should Kogoro Mouri ask for the money?

It's great to be able to receive a deposit.

It is true that detectives make their living by their own skills, but it is not without gimmicks.

Otherwise, there are so many detectives in Tokyo, and many of them are slightly famous. Why would the clients come to you to solve their problems?
Do you really think that Da Shang Zhu Shan is satisfied with his reputation as a gourmet detective? It really sounds unimpressive!

Doesn’t Okami Shuzen want his title to be “Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era” or “Savior of the Japanese Police”?

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.

So Okami Zhushan was also very curious about Kudo Shinichi, the young and inexperienced man.

Kudo Shinichi came late today, and Okami Zhushan did not see his reasoning ability.

This kid just seemed to be here for formality today.

Now that he heard Lin Ryoma mention Kudo Shinichi, Okami Zhushan naturally didn't mind coming over to be a supporting actor.

Otherwise, why do they say that the best detectives have to be the old ones? Da Shang Zhu Shan has maxed out the skill of reading people's expressions.

Following Da Shang Zhu Shan's words, Lin Longma said comfortably: "What would be your first reaction if you were attacked by a sniper?"

"Then he must find a shelter to hide." Kogoro Mouri responded as a matter of course.

If you encounter a sniper, instead of hiding quickly, are you going to stand in an open space and become a sitting duck?
Not to mention that snipers all have their own targets, are there not enough mentally ill lunatics in the huge Beika Town and Haido Town?

Hayashi Ryoma agreed with Maori Kogoro's statement: "Normal people would indeed be like this, but Kudo-san is obviously not a normal person.

I just heard from the police officer of Investigation Section 2 that as soon as Officer Chaki was attacked by a sniper, Kudo-san found a place to hide his body, confirmed the direction of the sniper, and rushed out.

What do you think is going on with Kudo-san?"

"Um"

"Well"

"Forehead"

Lin Longma's question silenced several people. Only Mao Lilan hurriedly explained to Kudo Shinichi:
"Uncle Lin, Shinichi is sometimes impulsive at the scene. He will actively chase after the murderer or criminal if he encounters one."

"But this is not a question of being impulsive or not, Ms. Maori." Lin Longma spread his hands and asked in confusion:

"This is simply reckless behavior. The sniper on the opposite side has a sniper rifle. How do you know that he doesn't have a pistol or other hot weapons?"

"Not even Sherlock Holmes would dare to rush forward with bare hands." Having courage and being stubborn are two completely different things. At least this time, "Kudo Shinichi" acted more like a stubborn person who was carried away by passion.

"So, Shinichi..." Mouri Ran started to worry again. It was only a short time since she last worried about Kudo Shinichi. After a brief meeting, "Kudo Shinichi" gave Mouri Ran another big job.

This kind of reckless behavior is not surprising in other people, but Kudo Shinichi is a famous detective.

The most important thing for a detective is rationality and logic. This irrational behavior should never happen to a detective, not to mention that Kudo Shinichi is a very famous detective.

Almost everyone was analyzing the reasons why Kudo Shinichi did this, but only Okami Zhushan suddenly relaxed his frown.

The reason was simple, because Okami Zhushan suddenly thought of the overwhelming negative news about Kudo Shinichi that he had seen in the newspaper not long ago.

As a famous detective, Dashang Zhushan would not easily believe those inflammatory reports in the news.

He believes more in solid evidence.

But if you want to make some inferences, you don't need solid evidence. Anyway, it's just an idea, just take it as an inspiration.

Da Shang Zhu Shan's eyes flickered as he whispered, "Perhaps the sniper's target was not the Chamu Administrator?"

"Ok?"

"President Lin is right. If you really want to snipe the Chamu Administrator, there will be countless opportunities throughout the day that are much better than what you just did.

Since we have waited for a whole day, there is no need to take the risk at this time. But since the sniper has taken action, there must be a reason why he must take action! "

Dashang Zhushan looked around as he spoke, and then his voice became softer and softer, but to some people present, Dashang Zhushan's voice sounded like a loud drum or a heavy hammer.

"Unless the target he wanted to snipe was a person who rarely showed up normally, or a target that there was no opportunity to snipe him normally, but unexpectedly showed up today!"

Who is this talking about? Who is this talking about?
Okami Zhushan didn't mention Kudo Shinichi at all, but every sentence was about him!
What was the last time Kudo Shinichi was widely reported? Was he a high school detective who was inactive and afraid of death? Was he a late hero or a coward in hiding? Was he an executioner who watched hundreds of people die?
It’s Kudo Shinichi who has fallen from grace!

Kudo Shinichi, who did not stand up even when being "blacklisted by the entire network", is completely consistent with what Okami Zhushan said, that he rarely shows up in public.

His sudden appearance at Beihu City Hotel today also fits what Da Shang Zhu Shan said about his unexpected appearance.

At that time, it was Kudo Shinichi and Nakamori Ginzo who sent the manager Chamu away. If Kudo Shinichi had a keen sixth sense, he could have subconsciously avoided it or used Chamu as a human shield to gain a glimmer of hope for himself.

And the hasty pursuit after being sniped may not be a real pursuit. It may actually be a hasty escape.

Under the obscure unraveling of the truth by Dashang Zhushan, the "truth" seems to be slowly revealed to everyone!

Could it be that Officer Chamu from the Second Investigation Section was simply taking the blame for someone else?

Could it be that the sniper's target was really Kudo Shinichi?

Kudo Shinichi hasn't appeared in public for such a long time. Has he really gotten into such a difficult trouble?

This is a perfect detective logic reasoning, all the clues match up, the only thing missing is evidence.

Even Conan thinks that there is nothing wrong with Okami Zhushan's reasoning. If he were not Kudo Shinichi, he would probably think so too!
But he is Kudo Shinichi! That guy is just a fake! It was clearly the bad luck that Xibei brought, why should he help take the blame!
[Oh no, my reputation is going to be ruined again! ]
