Chapter 37 Kogoro's Lucky Star
"Haha, today really is the best day!"

Leaning in the back seat of the taxi, Kogoro Mouri's face was full of pride.

He was in a good mood after completing a big deal.

"It's all thanks to my keen detective sense! Otherwise, how could I have solved the case so quickly!" He couldn't help laughing.

Conan, who was sitting in the middle, raised his head, glanced at him, and secretly cast a disapproving look at Uncle Maori.

Tsk, I basically did all the reasoning!

Really, he couldn't even notice the most obvious clues. If I hadn't secretly guided him...

The taxi was driving in the night, with only the lonely street lights outside the window.

Looking at the dim lights, Conan couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Today is really unlucky.

First, he was given a strange drug and became smaller, and he couldn't even get into the house.

I was just beaten half to death by the kidnapper in the warehouse——

Recalling that moment, Conan's eyes darkened slightly.

After the body becomes smaller, it can't do anything at all.

No matter in terms of speed or strength, he was no match for the adult kidnapper, and the skills he learned in Hawaii were of no use at all.

Speaking of kidnappers, Conan remembered the watch he had just seen.

The only thing he would never mistake was this thing and the appearance of the two men in black who had knocked him out.

Who are those people wearing strange watches?

As a high school detective, he has seen too many strange things.

But he had never seen the design of that watch before.

What kind of watch needs six hands?
Conan clearly remembered that there were no scales or numbers on the dial of that watch.

What is certain is that it is definitely not used for timing.

Conan couldn't quite figure out what the watch was used for.

The six pointers of different shapes that were spinning madly seemed to have some magic power.

Deep in Conan's mind, his thoughts, which had gradually calmed down, were like a calm sea.

But those sharp, pointed needles melted, twisted—

It transformed into six strange tentacles that stirred the dark sea water, creating whirlpools in his thoughts.

swirl.

A never-ending whirlpool that swallows up countless sea waters.

"What the hell is that..."

Conan muttered silently, his eyes becoming more and more fierce.

That watch is by no means a simple fashionable luxury item!
He vaguely felt that he was in a cage.

It seemed as if the taxi he got into was not heading to Xiaolan's home but to the mouth of some indescribable creature.

Even the smile on the driver's face that he saw in the rearview mirror suddenly seemed a little weird.

It was like a puppet with a smile carved on its face with a carving knife.
Conan's eyes involuntarily followed the driver's stiff, tired smile, which was due to the night shift, and looked down -

A very ordinary cheap watch.

The silver color on the surface has slightly peeled off and it looks very old.

There are two pointers, one large and one small, and the scale on the dial is clear.

It seems that I am overthinking it.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, how could those guys be hiding in this car?
But then again, why did those guys save me?

As Conan reasoned and thought in his mind, he felt more and more doubts in his heart.

Maybe the watches they wear are like the criminals who knocked themselves out first, and the black clothes on their bodies are some kind of symbolic things.

I'd better ask Dr. Agasa to help me check it out later.

I made up my mind secretly.

"In short, no matter who they are or what they are planning, I will definitely get to the bottom of it all!"

……

"Dad!" Xiaolan's words brought Conan's complicated thoughts back to reality.

Taking advantage of the fact that Kogoro seemed in a good mood because of the successful case, she tried to get her father to agree to adopt Conan.

"It's about this child," she said, pulling Kogoro's arm coquettishly. "Dr. Agasa said he wants us to temporarily foster the child. Is that okay?"

"Absolutely no problem!"

Kogoro Mori waved his hand and agreed to it very generously.

This even surprised Xiaolan and Conan.

I didn't expect that this usually drunk uncle would be so easy to talk to one day...

However, before Conan could complain in his heart, he was slapped hard on the head by Kogoro——

This careless uncle seemed to have completely forgotten that he had just been beaten by the kidnappers.

"This kid is like my lucky god!"

Kogoro laughed out loud, he felt that his luck might really be changing.

I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it, I, the famous detective Maori.

The first case I took on after being out of work for more than half a year was the kidnapping of a wealthy man!
Thinking of the check that would be delivered tomorrow, Kogoro let out a chuckle.

I have money to bet on horses again!

Kogoro slightly restrained his somewhat lewd smile, coughed twice, and tried to give a normal reason.

"Since this guy came, work has become much easier. I even feel like the case has been handled much more smoothly!"

At this moment, he looked at Conan, and his mind was already thinking of countless future cases and reports flying towards him like snowflakes.

"Detective Mori! I'd like to ask what you think of being called the savior of the Japanese police?"

"Detective Maori! Now that Kudo Shinichi has admitted defeat in your deduction, do you think you deserve the title of the greatest detective?"

"The Yomiuri Daily ranked you as..."

……

"Hehehe, hehehe"

It seemed as if Conan and Kogoro were looking at a glowing mountain of gold.

His mind was now flooded with his own happy and beautiful future.

Kogoro laughed foolishly and said:

"Don't even mention temporarily fostering him with me. Even if he becomes my son, that's fine!"

"father!"

Although Xiaolan was very happy, she easily convinced her father.

But she still remembered what Dr. Agasa said, that Conan's parents were still in the hospital because of some accident!
She was a little worried that her father's irrelevant words would remind the child of his parents, so she punched Kogoro directly and stared at him fiercely.

“Ugh—it hurts!”

"I can't even beat my own daughter..."

As Xiaolan's expression became more and more unfriendly, Kogoro's muttering became quieter and quieter.

He immediately patted Conan's shoulder, which was about to fall apart, and quickly changed the subject and began to impart to Conan the detective experience he had just summarized.

"Conan! Learn from your uncle Maori. Let me tell you! I just did it based on..."

Kogoro kept chattering until the taxi slowly stopped downstairs of the Mori Detective Agency.

By the time Conan got off the car, his eyes had turned into circles.

All the worries and heaviness just now disappeared.

Kogoro's experience and arguments made Conan's brain fall into illogical and complicated reasoning and analysis.

"Forget it, I'm really tired today, I'd better go to bed early." Conan sighed.

He felt that he needed to rest for a while. He didn't expect Uncle Maori to come up with such a terrible reasoning process -

"Absolutely!" Conan tried to use a more euphemistic word.

It's simply out of the blue!

For the alliance.

"Today", the last day of this "cycle" has finally ended.
