Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 36 34. The kind Chennault used
Conan has been living in the office for a while now. From being uneasy at the beginning to being accustomed to it now, he feels more and more that what Dr. Agasa said at the beginning was right.

Even the people in that organization probably didn't think that the person they were going to kill would turn into a child.

Over time, Conan no longer had any special vigilance against the Black Organization. At the Mantiantang Game Company's press conference, he was even more eager to try out Tequila, a member of the organization.

But Tequila was unlucky and was blown to pieces.

People's fear threshold towards certain groups of people will continue to decrease. For example, when you were in school, you would feel scared when you saw your teacher, but when you grow up and see those people again, you will not immediately recall whether you have done your homework.

The same goes for the Black Organization and Conan.

After Gin hit Conan with a club, he thought Conan was dead and did not do anything to him. Even if there was any follow-up action, Conan, who did not live in Kudo's house, would not know about it.

When Conan saw Tequila again, he found that the old man died in a very elegant manner, which greatly relaxed his mind.

Until this moment, Conan suddenly heard from Kogoro Mouri that someone was looking for him and was willing to spend a lot of money to find him.

The back of his head ached, and he seemed to be back to that night in Dorobiga Paradise. He was knocked unconscious by a club and then force-fed drugs, and the shadow of death gradually enveloped him.

"No!" Conan shouted subconsciously, causing Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri to look at him sideways.

"What are you talking about, kid? What's wrong with that? I've already received the deposit, are you going to destroy my reputation as the famous detective Maori Kogoro?"

Maori Kogoro was very upset. Conan was just a freeloader for the Maori family. Conan was living in the Maori family and not only did he not get any money for support, but he also always made them angry.

What normal child would rush faster than a police dog when faced with a murder?

In other words, both the Mori father and daughter are kind-hearted, otherwise if it were someone else, they would have to send Conan back to Professor Agasa the next day.

The firm finally got a big deal, but Conan just couldn't do anything when he asked? Does this guy really think he's a piece of cake?
Kogoro Mouri's unfriendly expression also made Conan realize that he was a bit too abrupt, but he was really afraid that Lin Ryoma's commission was related to the Black Organization, or even that Lin Ryoma was a member of the Black Organization!
Thinking of this, Conan hurriedly found an excuse: "Uncle, isn't 300 million yen too much to ask Shinichi brother?
Could it be that President Lin has any bad intentions?"

"Yes, Dad." Conan's reminder also made Mao Lilan react. There must be something wrong. Who would spend 300 million yen just to find a high school student?
Maori Kogoro snorted when he saw this: "After all, he is Yukiko's son, how could I not pay attention to this. Speaking of which, President Lin also received a commission from others to find Kudo Shinichi.

He is probably acting as an intermediary or broker this time. If I can find that guy Kudo Shinichi, he will also make money."

Maori Kogoro's words made Conan relax a little, but only a little. Although Hayashi Ryoma was fine, it didn't mean that it was fine to find someone to beat Hayashi Ryoma.

The crisis still exists, and Mao Lilan also thought of this.

"What about the man who asked President Hayashi for help? Could he have any ill will towards Shinichi?"

"How is that possible? President Lin told me that this commission was given by Professor Moritani of Moritani Architectural Design Office. How could he have a grudge against that brat?"

"Moritani Architectural Design Office? Professor Moritani, who is that?" Ran Mouri asked the question that was in Conan's mind. They didn't know much about this professor, or they had never heard of him at all.

Some authoritative figures are very famous in the industry, but not many people know them outside the industry.

Moriya Teiji is such a person. Maori Kogoro was excited when he heard this: "You haven't heard of Professor Moriya? He is the famous architect!
Professor Moritani designed the city hall building in Beika Town. Don’t you even know this?”

After listening to Kogoro Mouri's words, Ran Mouri's eyes were filled with admiration, while Conan's face was full of suspicion.

He always felt that Kogoro Mori had kept these words in his heart for a long time. Could it be that President Lin had said them to him and then he turned around and used them?
"Do you think a highly respected person like Professor Moritani would specifically target a high school student?"

"It seems like that." Mouri Ran nodded ignorantly. She thought about it and couldn't think of any case in Kudo Shinichi's past that involved Moritani Teiji.

The same was true for Conan standing by. This was the first time he had heard of Professor Moritani.

"But why did Professor Moritani spend a lot of money to find Brother Shinichi?" Mouri Ran's doubts were dispelled, but Conan still wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"I guess he's probably a fan of that brat." Kogoro Mouri looked unhappy. Although he is also a famous detective now, Kudo Shinichi became famous much earlier than him.

In terms of the number of fans, Maori Kogoro cannot catch up with Kudo Shinichi who became famous earlier. After all, it is better to become famous early.

When Conan heard this, he felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with Kogoro Mouri's analysis. This was probably the only reason that could explain it at the moment.

But if Moriya Teiji wanted to find me, couldn't he just send him an invitation? Why go through so much trouble?

Thinking of this, Conan suddenly patted his big head. It has been such a long time since he went home. Even if Moritani Teiji sent him an invitation letter, he would not receive it!

"By the way, Xiaolan, what has that brat been busy with lately? I don't think I've heard from him in a while."

Kogoro Mori found it a little strange. In the past, Kudo Shinichi was in the newspaper every now and then, and even if he didn't want to read it, he was always forced to receive such information.

But Kudo Shinichi has been much more well-behaved recently. Not only has he not been in the newspapers, but it seems that his daughter hasn't gone out with him for a while?
Maori Kogoro was afraid that this little bastard was planning something bad.
"Shinichi, I'm afraid he can't respond to Professor Moritani's invitation." Mao Lilan said regretfully: "He seems to be busy with a very difficult commission recently. Because the client requested confidentiality, he hasn't been home for a while."

Conan contacted Ran Mouri using the identity of Kudo Shinichi, and only used the excuse that the client was very difficult and the client requested confidentiality to evade Ran Mouri's current situation. This was just the answer that Ran Mouri used to answer Kogoro Mouri's question.

"Really? A high school student actually makes detective his main job." Kogoro Mouri was somewhat dissatisfied with this. This dissatisfaction was not directed at Kudo Shinichi's achievements as a detective, but was due to the position of Mouri Ran's father.

As a former criminal police officer and current famous detective, he knows all too well the risks of the detective industry. The risks of criminal police officers are backed up by the Metropolitan Police Department, but detectives have to take all the risks themselves.

Kudo Shinichi is so radical at such a young age, and his daughter's heart is tied to this brat. In this situation, no matter who is the girl's parent, I guess they will not be happy.

"Dad, we can't contact Shinichi, so what about President Lin's request?"

"Don't worry, Xiaolan. It's President Lin and his team's job to find out whether or not to contact that brat. I just need to tell them everything I've found out."

Kogoro Mouri had guessed that this situation would happen, and he had asked clearly what part he would be responsible for while drinking yesterday, so he was even more calm now.
