Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 38 [Hirota Masami]

"A mere gardener wants to trap me in a room? You won't let me reason? You're fucking stupid!"

Conan jogged along on the cheerful wind and quickly rushed out of the second floor to the first floor, towards the crime scene.

Although Sonoko delayed him for a long time, Conan was very confident that with his reasoning ability he could uncover the mystery of the incident and find the real culprit before anyone else.

But the closer Conan ran and got to the scene, the more he felt that something seemed wrong.

How come all these detectives on duty are so relaxed? Shouldn't they normally have sullen faces, filled with resentment and bitterness?

And what's going on with the atmosphere? Why is it suddenly so relaxed?
Conan walked all the way to the crime scene and found that the body had been taken away by the police officers from the forensic department.

Not only that
"Sister Xiaolan, what's going on?" Conan asked Xiaolan, pointing at Nakamichi Kazushi who was handcuffed and being escorted out not far away.

No, he hadn't even started reasoning yet, so why was he already in handcuffs? Who found the murderer?!
Conan immediately looked at Tachibana Shizuka—and Hattori Heiji beside him. Since this guy was as famous as himself, he must be quite good at reasoning, right?
"Conan, you're here. It's a pity you didn't see your father's reasoning just now." Xiaolan rubbed Conan's big head and said regretfully.

"Wait, Sister Xiaolan, whose reasoning are you talking about?!" Conan looked at Xiaolan in shock.

"Dad, I figured out the real culprit in this incident, and I haven't even used the 'Sleeping Kogoro' mode yet~"

Xiaolan's words rang in Conan's ears like a temple bell. Was the murderer this time deduced by his uncle?
Isn't that a false accusation?!

Even Tachibana Shizuka's reasoning is more reliable than Mouri Kogoro's.

Conan hurried to Maori Kogoro and said, "Uncle, uncle, how did you know that the murderer was Uncle Nakamichi?"

"Go away, little brat, go away. I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now."

Kogoro Mouri waved his hand unhappily to drive Conan away. Although the murderer was successfully found, Kogoro Mouri would rather believe that his reasoning was wrong.

The person involved was unwilling to cooperate with Conan's questions, so Conan had to run back to Xiaolan and ask her how Maori and Kogoro reasoned.

Fortunately, Xiaolan is still the kind Xiaolan. She immediately thought about it and repeated Mouri Kogoro's reasoning to Conan.

The more Conan listened, the wider his mouth opened - is this the kind of reasoning that that confused detective could come up with?

Could it be that Dr. Agasa's anesthetic injection also has the effect of improving intelligence?
He just felt that during the time he was trapped in the garden, the whole world seemed to have undergone some kind of update, but had forgotten about him.

What is this new version of Kogoro Mori?
At this moment, Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri with eyes full of surprise and suspicion.

Everyone in the room was busy with their own things, but there was only one person who was idle. That was Hattori Heiji.

The observation of Kogoro Mouri has come to an end. Based on the results of this observation, Hattori Heiji is willing to admit that this uncle is quite something.

But this time, there was no room for him to play a role, so Hattori Heiji now felt a little bored.

Coincidentally, Conan entered Hattori Heiji's sight at this time - this kid was really too lively, just like a civet jumping up and down in a melon field.

And what's that look in that kid's eyes? It's like he doesn't recognize Maori Kogoro. A normal person's eyes shouldn't be like that.
Hattori Heiji shifted his gaze to Xiaolan's face and saw the admiring look Xiaolan gave her father.

Yes, that's how a normal person's eyes should look.

Shouldn't we celebrate or admire our elders' brilliant deductions? And what's with Conan's look of disbelief? He doesn't believe Kogoro Mouri could come up with such a deduction?
Conan's abnormal behavior planted a seed of doubt in Hattori Heiji's heart, but the seed did not sprout. Hattori Heiji, who had witnessed Kogoro Mori's glorious moments, did not think that this uncle was a fake.

Tachibana Shizuka just watched Hattori Heiji staring at Conan from a distance and smiled silently.

As expected of Hattori from Kansai, his perception is quite sharp. Of course, this is also related to Conan's poor acting skills.

Tachibana Seiji wondered how this guy, with such poor acting skills, had been able to conceal his identity for so many years?
How outrageous, folks.

However, thanks to Maori Kogoro's brilliant reasoning, the incident ended smoothly. Because the murderer was Maori Kogoro's classmate, the others did not want to continue this class reunion.

After all, during a class reunion, a classmate was killed and another classmate was arrested as the murderer. Who knows what will happen next.

So early the next morning, the group hurried back to Tokyo.

Although Teitan High School was either on vacation or taking a break when Tachibana Shizuka was following anime in his previous life, in reality, Tachibana Shizuka still needs to go to school.

Of course, Tachibana Shizuka is not opposed to going to school.

In class, Tachibana Shizuka can review the knowledge awarded to him by the system in his mind. Whether it is the basics of bomb disposal or the basics of pistol defensive shooting, they are all new knowledge that is always new.

As for the afternoon after school, it is the time for Tachibana Seiji to train with Xiaolan.

At the beginning of the karate club, many members secretly mocked Tachibana Shizuka for overestimating his abilities.

Could the average person keep up with Xiaolan's training? Just as they were secretly betting on how long it would take for Tachibana Shizuka to give up, they were stunned to discover that not only had he persevered, but his physical strength had also undergone a dramatic change.

No, brother. You can stick to this. Have you ever quit drugs before?
As her physical strength gradually reached the standard, at the request of Shizuka Tachibana, Xiaolan began to teach Shizuka Tachibana some basic karate.

You have to know that Xiaolan's karate is a powerful skill that can tear down doors, walls, and telephone poles with bare hands.

Even if she doesn't have a job in the future, Xiaolan will have no problem finding a job doing demolition work at a construction site with her karate skills.

Pure natural, zero emission, and pollution-free.

Although the system may reward combat knowledge in the future, it is better to practice self-defense skills as early as possible. You can't wait for the system's rewards for everything, right?

In addition to training, Shizuka Tachibana would occasionally stroll around the major banks in Beika Town as a pastime.

He was not after the bank's reward, but had other intentions.

Like now.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" The lady behind the counter smiled brightly at Tachibana Shizuka.

"I want to open an account." Tachibana Shizuka gave the lady a "kind" smile, but his eyes involuntarily fell on the nameplate on the counter with the lady's name on it.
