Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 72 He can’t be on guard against the Black Organization (Please read)
"Eh? Looking for a detective to investigate? It seems like there's nothing that needs a detective to investigate at the club lately."

The coach was a little unsure and asked the staff next to him for confirmation.

"It's really useless to the detective, and..." the staff member said here and looked at the child with a big head and a small body on the surveillance screen.

The meaning was clear: What was the connection between this kid and the detective?
"It's nothing, but I think I know where that strange feeling of mine comes from. Oh, and coach, please help me find out where this kid is now."

Tachibana Shizuka understood what was going on. He had found the source of the vague, uneasy feeling that had been lingering since after school.

Conan knew how abnormal his observation skills were, which meant that Conan definitely didn't dare to follow him like he would an ordinary criminal.

Perhaps it was half tracking, half deduction? Was it that she appeared within his "perception range" but didn't push too far, leaving Tachibana Shizu with a strange feeling along the way without being discovered?

Of course, Conan's successful tracking was also related to Shizuka Tachibana. When he was still far away from the club, there were many people on the bus, subway, and sidewalk.

Even if someone wanted to harm him, they would not choose to do so on the crowded street.

When they were almost at the shooting club, there were fewer people, but Conan did not appear near Tachibana Shizuka anymore. Even though Tachibana Shizuka had circled around a few times, he still could not trick him out.

As expected, he should have deduced that Tachibana Shizuka's destination was the shooting club, so he didn't do any other useless work.

"I found out that the kid is in the lounge right now." The coach responded quickly.

"Okay, thank you very much. Let's stop here for today's training." Tachibana Shizuka nodded, untied the holster from his waist and handed it to the coach, then walked towards the club's lounge.

In the lounge, Conan is trying to collect all the information related to Tachibana Shizuka with his powerful cuteness ability.

There happened to be a few members and coaches taking a break and chatting in the lounge. After triggering Conan's passive skill of answering every question, they began to talk about Tachibana Shizuka's "glorious record" in the shooting club.

"It's hard to believe that not long ago, Tachibana-san had never touched a gun."

"That's right, Ju-san has made rapid progress, but that doesn't mean he has no knowledge of firearms. I heard from Coach xx that Ju-san's theoretical knowledge is quite comprehensive.

It's strange, you say, how can he have such a wealth of theoretical knowledge when he's never even touched a shooting sport?

"Maybe it's because of his passion, right? Speaking of which, Ju-san is probably the one who's spent the most time practicing shooting in our club.

Don’t look at the fact that he’s only been here for a short time; others who have trained for two and a half years may not necessarily be stronger than him.”

“That’s talent.”

"Yes, it must be a talent!"

Everyone was talking about the "strange stories" of Tachibana Shizuka in the club, and Conan was trying hard to extract useful information.

Is Tachibana Shizuka the most diligent member of this club? Conan thought back to the sign-in book he had "tricked" from the staff, which showed that Tachibana Shizuka contacted him almost every other day.

Moreover, each training session lasts very long. According to the members and coaches here, the rest time between each training session of Tachibana Shizuka is much shorter than that of others.

Conan always felt that there was a sense of urgency in Tachibana Shizuka's behavior, as if someone was chasing him and posing a threat to him, forcing him to work so hard. Conan also thought of Tachibana Shizuka's training in the karate club of Teitan High School. He originally thought that Tachibana Shizuka joined the karate club just to get closer to Xiaolan.

But later he heard from Xiaolan that Tachibana Shizuka really spared no effort to exert his energy during training with Xiaolan's help.

Although Conan has met Tachibana Shizuka several times, a more specific Tachibana Shizuka is quietly being outlined in his mind.

But this outlined image made Conan very confused.

A high school student with a certain level of professional knowledge in bomb disposal has been constantly developing his physical strength for a while now. He's not only been diligently practicing combat skills, but has also invested heavily in shooting training.
It has a strong recovery ability and a high shooting talent.
Such a contradictory image made Conan scratch his head - if Shizuka Tachibana lived in a war-torn country, then Conan could fully understand Shizuka Tachibana's urgency.

But Beika Town is very safe. Although there are many murderers here, at least they have a motive for killing, even if the motive is so sloppy that it doesn't seem like something a normal person could come up with.

That is motivation too.

Tachibana Shizuka's behavior is like he's on guard against something. What is he on guard against? Could it be the Black Organization?
What nonsense! Conan has now reluctantly admitted that Tachibana Shizuka can be considered his love rival. As a detective, he must have a deep understanding of his love rival.

For example, the cause of death of Tachibana Shizuka's parents was just an ordinary accident, and there was absolutely no possibility of any conspiracy theory.

Although it may sound a bit harsh to say this, Tachibana Shizuka is really just unlucky.

As for Tachibana Shizuka's daily life trajectory, Conan dares to guarantee that all the people in Teitan High School combined do not have the same pattern as Tachibana Shizuka.

Tachibana Shizuka's life is really too regular now. He either trains with Xiaolan or trains in the club all day long.

The few times he was absent, he was basically with Xiaolan. It is impossible for Tachibana Shizuka to be connected with the Black Organization.

Conan's analysis of Tachibana Shizuka once again reached a deadlock.

Looking at the adults chatting animatedly in the lounge, Conan knew it was time for him to leave.

Conan had already learned from his coach the time when Tachibana Shizuka usually finished his training. He was a little thirsty and was about to go outside to buy some drinks.

By the way, if possible, he would also like to go and see Tachibana Shizuka's daily shooting training.

Just now, when Tachibana Shizuka was doing shooting training, he actually watched for a while from the side. Just that short moment made Conan realize that Tachibana Shizuka's shooting ability was indeed better than his.

But Conan didn't think he couldn't surpass Tachibana Shizuka. It was true that sharpshooters were made from bullets. It had been a long time since he last touched a gun in Hawaii.

Just as Conan opened the door of the lounge, a pair of thighs in black pants blocked his way.

"Little Conan, why are you here?" Tachibana Shizuka looked down at Conan condescendingly:

"No, what I should be asking is why did you follow me all the way from school to here?"
