Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 131 The Rich Doctor

Gao Mo felt that he had overestimated his learning ability and underestimated Kuroba Kaito's "The Magic Guide".

I enjoyed watching it the first time, but when I seriously studied it the second time, it felt like I'd been hit over the head, and I couldn't laugh anymore.

Only after truly studying did I realize that I was still a poor student.

Magic is not a subject that requires rote memorization.

Although he leveled up his magic to level 2 in one night, he encountered a bottleneck when trying to advance to level 3.

A single talent in both hands doesn't seem enough to easily reach level 3... What's even more terrifying is that many of Kid's magic tricks seem to have elements of Detective Conan, the kind that are simply impossible to achieve in reality.

Despite his talent for magic, he could only perform some minor tricks.

The progress in disguise and makeup is far behind.

Should I choose a makeup artist-related account or a magician-related account for my next account...?

"Beep!"

study.

A phone call interrupted Gao Mo's thoughts.

Forget it, I'll just choose whichever profession is easiest to get into.

Let's figure out a way to input the notes first.

If you can't unlock a career, thinking about it is useless.

“I know everything, Kido-kun,” Hattori Heiji’s excited voice rang out as the phone connected. “That kid Kid is dressed as a woman again. Kindaichi should teach him a lesson, right?”

"Uh……"

Gao Mo's face stiffened slightly.

He forgot that the situation was so critical that he didn't have the energy to deal with Kidd.

"That happened a few days ago, how come you're only finding out now?"

"Don't even mention it. My mom's been forcing me to prepare for the exams, and she still remembers calling me 'old lady' a few times," Hattori Heiji sighed. "I'll go to Tokyo after the exams. Osaka is so boring. Your place is much more interesting; you always seem to come across some exciting cases."

Is this guy really the police chief's son?

Gao Mo's lips twitched slightly.

Nobody wants a murder to happen...

Huh? It seems like all detectives are like this?
Conan himself, as well as Sherlock Holmes whom Conan admires, are the type who feel uncomfortable if there are no cases.

He himself has a great need for cases, and they are all murder cases involving dead people.

"Dong dong!"

Ai knocked lightly on the door, opened it a crack, and reminded her, "There's a Miss Nishitani outside looking for you. She said she's been being followed lately."

"track?"

Gao Mo ended the call and followed Xiao Ai into the living room.

A petite young woman sat quietly on the sofa, wearing a pink knitted sweater. Her long, slightly messy red hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She clasped her hands tightly, looking uneasy.

"Hello," the woman hurriedly stood up, "I've heard that this place can solve many troublesome problems."

"I'm not a detective, and all the detectives at the agency just happen to be out."

Gao Mo had only glanced at the woman briefly; she was a girl from a modest family, so it wasn't surprising that she was being followed by a pervert.

"Isn't it more appropriate to call the police if someone is following you? We probably can't help you with that."

"Feel sorry……"

The woman's face grew even more bitter. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then lowered her head, picked up her handbag, and hurriedly left, leaving Gao Mo and the other woman staring at each other in bewilderment.

"Such a beautiful woman, aren't you going to help her?" Xiao Ai watched the woman's back disappear.

How can I help someone who's a stalker?

Gao Mo was somewhat curious about the woman's reaction.

He actually wanted to ask about Furuya Rei, but the woman left after saying only a few words.

"Forget it, we're not a Yorozuya (a business that does everything), and besides, we're going to see the cherry blossoms with the professor today."

The woman's affair was just a minor incident. Gao Mo was about to return to his study to study the projected books again when Dr. Agasa from next door couldn't wait to come over and urge him on, and he also drove out in a brand new yellow Volkswagen Beetle.

"How is it? Not bad, right?" The professor stroked his beard and touched his beloved car. "I spent ages choosing it!" "Not bad..."

Gao Mo was not in a position to comment on the PhD's taste.

Is this car suitable for driving uphill?

“Of course it’s suitable,” the doctor chuckled. “I’d like to take some photos at the top of the mountain later, as a memorable celebration for the new car… You two better hurry up.”

Gao Mo asked in confusion, "Where exactly are we going to see the cherry blossoms?"

"It's not too far, just a remote mountain nearby... It'll be more enjoyable to see the cherry blossoms if there are fewer people."

Professor Agasa held up one finger.

"The cherry blossoms blooming on the sparsely populated mountains are the real beauty, and you will definitely not be disappointed... Oh, by the way, we may stay at the foot of the mountain for 2 nights, so remember to bring a change of clothes."

"It sounds like it's really far away..."

"Hehe, I'll take care of the expenses, don't be shy with me."

It seems the PhD student really did make a fortune.

Gao Mo glanced at Xiao Ai, who had already packed her luggage—this woman didn't seem to care much on the surface, but she was very decisive in her actions.

Are we the only ones?

"I originally wanted to invite Mr. Mori and his family, but it seems they were taken to some village for an event yesterday," Professor Agasa said with regret.

His relationship with Shinichi and Conan is that of close friends despite their age difference; Conan even frequently visits his home now.

But when something happens, Conan is always nowhere to be found.

“Village…activities…”

Gao Mo carried his luggage onto the bus.

Needless to say, they've most likely gotten involved in some kind of incident again.

The family next door is like Schrödinger's cat; they always have a lot of cases when he's not looking, but become unusually relaxed when he's watching them.

Many of the cases he's involved in now seem like he's just picking up scraps.

Fortunately, once his career achievements are on track, he is not lacking in stars for the time being.

What's really giving him a headache now is the time and energy he needs.

The number of books projected onto my notes keeps increasing, and I simply don't have time to master them all.

I've already accumulated three 5-star books, and "Kaito Kuroba's Magic Guide" is another tough nut to crack. I wonder how much effort it will take.

So far, the only professional books I've read and absorbed are "Shinichi Kudo's Guide to Deduction" and the earlier "Taeko Mamegaki's Makeup Guide".

……

noon.

Dr. Agasa drove to the foot of the mountain, had a simple meal, and then drove up the mountain.

The mountains are indeed sparsely populated, and there are hardly any tourists. From the viewing platform, only cherry blossoms are quietly in bloom, and the cherry blossom petals fall like rain in the mountain breeze.

"gorgeous."

Ai Haibara stood quietly in the cherry blossom rain, holding her black cat, enjoying the rare tranquility of nature.

"It's been a long time since I've properly appreciated natural scenery. Every day I wake up feeling the terror of this world..."

"Meow." The black cat licked Ai, then looked at Gao Mo, who was catching cherry blossom petals with his fingers.

"Come here and take a commemorative photo."

The professor struggled to park his car in the cherry blossom grove, set up the automatic camera, and quickly called out to Gao Mo.

"Seriously, such a beautiful view is rare, Amo, what are you doing? Hurry up!"

Against the backdrop of a cherry blossom tree that two people could hug, Dr. Ali happily made a peace sign, and also managed to include Gao Mo and Xiao Ai in the photo.

"It seems like the world is about to change."

Gao Mo looked up at the mountains and sky, and heard the sound of notebook pages turning again.

The mountain breeze became much more humid, and the clear sky seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow.

What's around here?
