Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 141 The New Immortal in a New Identity

Cheap apartments.

Miho Nishitani leaned against the front door, her mind still filled with the image of Gao Mo leaving.

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt much calmer.

That feeling of fear and unease is gone.

Even when I got home and locked several doors, I still didn't feel safe.

Today, however, was unusually peaceful.

It was as if that predatory gaze from the shadows had vanished.

"It's that detective..."

Miho Nishitani's tired face showed a rare moment of relaxation.

She hadn't felt kindness in this city for a long time.

Despite the 20 yuan commission fee, Gao Mo genuinely wanted to help her.

And for some reason, Gao Mo always seemed like someone who had been through similar experiences – as if he had gone through something similar in the past.

"call!"

Miho Nishitani changed into slippers, looked at the label on the refrigerator door, and perked up again.

I wanted to remember Gao Mo's face clearly, but I found that no matter how I tried to recall it, it was very blurry.

I could recognize him in person, but when I really think about it, I only have a vague impression.

strangeness.

Looking out the window, Gao Mo could no longer be found.

I just happened to see the stalker being led into a police car by a seemingly energetic young man.

Seemingly sensing something, the young police officer walked towards the apartment.

"Hello, I'm Takagi from the First Investigation Division. I'll take that guy to the police station."

Feeling refreshed, Takagi approached Miho Nishitani.

He had long been fed up with the tedious work of the life safety class these past few days, and he never expected to get credit for nothing today. Now he should be able to transfer back.

"We will conduct a detailed investigation into the matter of the unauthorized filming. We may need your assistance later. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything."

"Taking photos secretly?" Miho Nishitani didn't react.

"It seems like they've been secretly filming me for about a year now. Don't worry, I'll definitely give you an explanation..."

Inside a Volkswagen Beetle in the alley.

Gao Mo could still sense the long-haired youth's malice. Unlike his quiet demeanor while sitting in the police car, his face was full of ferocity when Gao Mu wasn't paying attention.

They were even thinking about revenge later.

However, it seems there's no chance now.

I foresaw that this guy's death would occur in the next few days.

If he were to intervene now using the notes, he could even kill this guy instantly...

"Go back, Doctor."

Gao Mo withdrew his gaze.

There is no need to continue intervening.

And after most of the day, I was starving.

"Ah Mo," the professor said, turning the car around, "you really don't plan to let Ai go to school?"

"She absolutely refuses to go."

Gao Mo could actually understand.

He wouldn't want to study in the Conan world either.

In addition, Ai Haibara also intentionally avoids Conan and the three little ones.

"I'll help Ai get a leave of absence from school. Having a student status will at least prevent suspicion," Professor Agasa compromised.

"also."

Gao Mo had no objection.

The doctor has always had a lot of influence in this world, with friends everywhere. He's usually cheerful and unreliable, but he always comes in handy when it matters.

Although the country’s identity system is terrible and there are many unregistered people, without a basic identity, it is quite difficult to do many things.

Unlike Conan... Aside from not being able to travel abroad normally, he's hardly ever encountered any identity-related problems in the country. He deals with the police every day and has visited the Metropolitan Police Department countless times. He can now openly make movies under a pseudonym thanks to Dr. Agasa.

Huh?
Vest...

Gao Mo's face froze.

He forgot that there was a program recording for "Domoto Ichi" at 8 pm.

"Doctor, let's not go back. Take me to get my toolbox first. I need to get to Nichiri TV station before 8 o'clock!"

"What are you going to the TV station for?" The professor was taken aback. "To be the main character again?"

"faster!"

Gao Mo took out his silent spare phone and, sure enough, there were several missed calls.

The voice switched to Domoto's as he replied, "I'll be right there... Sorry, sorry, there was a little problem."

"Buzz!"

After hanging up, another call came in.

This time, it was the guy with the mustache next door calling "Kindaichi".

"Where did you go? The organizers invited me and you to participate in the show, so give them an answer if you're not coming or not!"

“I can’t go,” Gao Mo said, noticing there was someone else with the man with the mustache. He quickly switched to Kindaichi’s voice. “I won’t be available for a long time. We’ll talk again later.”

Just then, the main machine also made a loud noise, and Miho Nishitani sent a text message.

"Thank you, Detective. Once I've mastered Western-style pastry, I'll definitely come to you for a taste!"

Different characters have different life storylines, and it's really not easy to maintain a balance, especially when they all happen at the same time.

“Ah Mo.”

Dr. Agasa has a wide range of expressions.

"You created so many identities just to play around like this?"

“I can’t help it, I don’t want to repeat the same life as before,” Gao Mo replied to the others. “I have to give myself a place to live.”

……

After disguising himself at the temporary base, Gao Mo arrived at the Nichiuri TV station just in time.

The man with the mustache arrived early with Ran and Conan—this uncle was always particularly enthusiastic whenever it involved Yoko Okino.

As a special guest, when I heard that Yoko Okino would be participating, I readily agreed without even asking about the appearance fee.

"I'm late!"

After calming his breathing, Gao Mo found Yoko Okino, who was being showered with attention by the man with the mustache.

Unlike "Kindaichi," the man with the mustache didn't recognize his new identity, "Domoto Hajime," except for Conan, who glanced at him.

This kid observes everything closely, no matter where he goes, as if every place is a crime scene and everyone is a suspect.

Especially after being deceived by him and Kidd several times, he became suspicious and paranoid, which did put a lot of pressure on him.

You can't let your guard down for a second when Conan is around.

Whether Conan knows about the "Domoto Hajime" disguise or not is irrelevant, but it is still a test for him.

Only by fooling Conan can his disguise skills be considered competent.

"Hajime!"

Yoko Okino's eyes lit up; she hadn't seen Gao Mo for a long time since their last meeting on set.

She was overjoyed that her senior, Gao Mo, had become a friend and was returning to the entertainment industry, but she was also worried that Gao Mo's decision was just a passing fancy—now it seems that Gao Mo is really preparing to establish himself in the entertainment industry as "Domoto Ichi".

"Who is this guy?" the man with the mustache asked unhappily. "Why does he seem to be on such good terms with Miss Yoko?"

"Uncle, don't you know?" Conan reminded him like an encyclopedia, "He was the one who solved the case of the famous actor in the period drama last time, and he almost played the role of Detective Samonji."

“I know,” Xiaolan said, her curiosity piqued. “He is Domoto Ichi, known as the modern-day Zuo Wenzhi, who starred in the movie ‘City Detective’ right after his debut.”

"The name alone is boring," the mustachioed man scoffed. "I have no interest in watching this kind of movie. How can a movie detective compare to my famous detective..."

“But Ms. Yoko is also in it,” Xiaolan said strangely. “The show Dad participated in today is related to ‘City Detective,’ and Ms. Yoko is the female lead.”

"Oh, of course it's different with Yoko!"

The man with the mustache changed his expression quickly, like a trick, which made Ran and Conan look at him with disdain.

That old man never fixes things.
