Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 20 My Treasure Uncle?

Whether or not Tachibana Shizuka is good at reasoning remains to be discussed, but Conan is very sure that Tachibana Shizuka's observation skills are extraordinary.

At least when it comes to relationships between the sexes, Tachibana Shizuka's observation skills are better than mine.

Conan is not someone who cannot afford to lose. Only by facing failure can one bravely climb to the peak of success, right?
Although Conan is not someone who can't afford to lose, he does have someone he can't afford to lose to. After realizing that Tachibana Shizuka has a strong ability to observe, he felt a sense of restlessness in his heart.

As the saying goes, if you have observation skills, you have reasoning skills. If you have reasoning skills, you can investigate crime scenes. If you can investigate crime scenes, you can solve cases. If you can solve cases, you can become a famous detective.

If we say that Conan used to stand on a high place and look down at Shizuka Tachibana, then after Shizuka Tachibana's observation ability was exposed, the height at which Conan stood was lowered a little.

Has Conan never thought that Xiaolan, as his childhood sweetheart, cares about his reasoning, cares about being the "savior of the Japanese police", and cares about being the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era"?

Obviously not.

But the price of fame at a young age is that when facing competition that Conan cannot control, he will unconsciously ignore the true emotional foundation between him and Xiaolan, and blindly compare and contrast himself with Shizuka Tachibana.

Conan, who knows very little about Tachibana Shizuka, has already developed the curiosity that is unique to a detective. For Conan, once curiosity arises, he must conduct an investigation in a timely manner.

But before the investigation, Conan still found Xiaolan.

"Sister Xiaolan, are you and Tachibana going to have a study session tomorrow?" When there is nothing to worry about, Conan is still able to distinguish priorities.

If Xiaolan and Shizuka Tachibana have a study session tomorrow, Conan will go with them even if Xiaolan hates him.

Xiaolan, who had just taken a shower and was drying her hair, heard Conan's question and a hint of "as expected" flashed in her eyes. Then she smiled at Conan and said, "No, tomorrow your sister Sonoko and I are going shopping in the mall.

Conan, do you want to come with me?"

Go shopping with Xiaolan and Sonoko? Conan subconsciously shuddered when he heard about Xiaolan's activities on Sunday.

Conan was well aware of how competitive Xiaolan and Sonoko were when it came to shopping, so when he heard Xiaolan's invitation to him, he decisively refused.

"Forget it, Xiaolan-san. Ayumi and the others are coming to play with me tomorrow! I won't go with you!"

After Conan returned to his room, Xiaolan stopped wiping her hair and tilted her head to smile apologetically:
"Teacher Jing's method is really useful, but I'm sorry, Conan, I can't let you follow me tomorrow."
.
The next morning, after a peaceful night's sleep, Tachibana Seiji was finally awakened by Sonoko's "death-threatening series of calls".

Having seen many fancy smartphones in his previous life, Tachibana Shizuka has no interest at all when faced with the flip phones in the Conan world today.

So Tachibana Shizuka currently doesn't have a mobile phone.

Although he didn't have a cell phone, Tachibana Shizuka had a landline at home. When the landline rang for the third time, Tachibana Shizuka finally struggled to get out of the warm bed and walked to the entrance to answer Sonoko's call.

"Come on, both of you, please start your performance." With a bit of a bad mood after waking up, Tachibana Seiji went to the agreed coffee shop to meet up.

After ordering two sandwiches for himself for breakfast, Tachibana Seiji washed the sandwiches down with coffee while speaking vaguely to Sonoko and Ran.

"Um, well..." At this time, the "Queen of Reasoning" of Teitan High School had not yet experienced the baptism of an anesthetic needle.

Therefore, for today's investigation, nine out of ten gardens are clear - one is unclear.

Sonoko and Ran exchanged a glance, then gave Tachibana Shizuka a wry smile. It was true that Sonoko was a little overexcited about today's investigation, but the best thing about our Miss Suzuki is that she admits her mistakes! "Oh Shizuka, I'm just too excited! As an apology for waking you up this morning, I'll treat you to lunch today!"

I guarantee you will enjoy your meal and feel satisfied with it! "

Sonoko issued a will judgment on Tachibana Shizuka about the temptation of a big meal, and Tachibana Shizuka did not pass the judgment, and he immediately followed her advice.

He likes dealing with this kind of generous young lady!

Tachibana Shizuka ate two palm-sized sandwiches in just a few bites, and then drank the warm coffee in one gulp.

The crisp sound of the coffee cup bottom hitting the saucer seemed to turn on Tachibana Shizuka. He said to the two girls with a cheerful face, "You know about the investigation, and this is my first time too.

From your expression, Xiaolan, I know you didn't get in touch with Kudo yesterday, right?"

In line with the principle of doing the whole thing, Tachibana Shizuka specifically told Xiaolan while doing karaoke that if she could contact Kudo Shinichi, she could ask him to give them some advice on the investigation.

After all, the three of them are green hands in the field of investigation, so it is natural for them to seek advice from a professional.

"I'm sorry, Shizue, I still can't contact Shinichi." Xiaolan apologized to Shizue Tachibana dejectedly. It was no surprise that this guy was nowhere to be found when she needed Kudo Shinichi the most.

Even though Xiaolan had expected this, she still couldn't help feeling disappointed. This is human nature.

"No need to apologize, Ran. Kudo might have been caught up in some difficult situation, but luckily I've made some preparations."

Tachibana Shizuka looked at the clock on the wall of the coffee shop and said mysteriously to the two girls, "It's almost time. Let's welcome today's mysterious guest."

"Eh?"

Xiaolan and Sonoko turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the door of the coffee shop. Coincidentally, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open.

As the wind chimes rang at the door of the coffee shop, a man in a gray suit walked into the coffee shop.

"That's Officer Takagi?"

"Yes, since we are all rookies, I think we need some professional advice.

I originally wanted to ask Officer Sato to accompany us in the investigation, but Officer Sato had to work overtime today. She recommended Officer Takagi to me.

So I made an appointment with Officer Gao Mu to meet here. After all, we need to conduct an investigation, and having an officer with us will make our investigation more convenient."

"Officer Takagi, this way~" Tachibana Shizuka waved to Officer Takagi at the door.

What Tachibana Shizuka said was half true and half false. The truth was that he did contact Officer Sato, but he did so after knowing that Officer Sato had to work overtime.

The purpose was to let Officer Sato introduce Officer Takagi to them. After all, if we were to talk about who is the easiest to "fool" in the entire Metropolitan Police Department, it would definitely be our good old Officer Takagi.

Officer Takagi has been praised by Conan for using it, so if Conan can use it, then Tachibana Shizuka can use it too. As for how to repay Officer Takagi for sacrificing his rest time to spend with them,
Shizuka Tachibana has already made up his mind that he will give Officer Takagi some performance reports every now and then - rice krispie specialties. Shizuka Tachibana, this pseudo-rice krispie lover, has learned to utilize local characteristics to pursue sustainable development without any guidance.

You just have to see whether Officer Takagi is happy or not.
