Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 21 Rice Flower Man and Rice Flower Soul
Rice flower town.

High-rise apartment, room 1604, three bedrooms, one living room with balcony.

Gao Mo slept until the next morning. When he opened the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window, he saw the rising sun.

another beautiful day.

It's good to be alive.

Bathed in the warm morning light, Gao Mo overlooked the traffic on the ground and felt the vitality of the city.

"boom--!"

Suddenly there was a loud bang in the distance, as if an explosion had occurred somewhere, and even the balcony glass was shaken violently.

Gao Mo stared blankly at the explosion and billowing smoke at the end of his vision.

That direction...

Damn, who blew up the supermarket?

The more he looked at it, the more it looked like the supermarket where he had previously rushed to stock up on goods. Gao Mo instantly lost the mood to appreciate the city.

Everything in this world is good, except for some flaws.

He looked away, lay back on his favorite sofa, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

News of the explosion soon appeared at the top of the screen, with a special scrolling display reminding residents not to go out casually.

It's quite timely.

Fortunately, he is not a policeman, otherwise he would be exhausted to death.

"Robbery, kidnapping, murder...crime incidents are increasing."

Gao Mo watched TV for a while, and it was all news about events, as if he was possessed.

I suddenly thought of this serial murder case again.

In the original work, it seems that only Ichiro Uzumoto was arrested, and not so many people in the Uzumoto family died.

This whole family is in dire straits.

"Speaking of this..."

Gao Mo picked up the Old Tool Man magazine from the coffee table.

As the light in the field of vision dimmed, the sound of pages turning could be heard, and the words "Death Note" were distorted and projected on the magazine.

It's still so weird, as if it's entangled with the breath of death.

The luminous text automatically reorganizes and displays system information——

[Book Badge, First-Level Bronze.]

[Super Ability: Eagle Vision]

[Professional Talent: Quickly Entering the Scene]

[Storage Pool: 7 Stars]

[Occupation: Actor lv1, Detective lv1, Housekeeper lv0, Supermarket Cashier lv0]

Book: "Former Metropolitan Police Officer's Handgun Shooting Guide," 4 stars

……

In addition to the butler, the detective profession was unexpectedly included in the system.

The added bonus of the case?
It seems that because of the extraordinary ability "Eagle Vision", the detective profession starts at level 1. As for whether the "Detective Notes" of the mustache man is effective... it is difficult to judge.

In addition to the career collection, the most important gain was the "Shooting Guide" that was suspected to be from the mustache guy - he was the only former criminal policeman on the ship at the time.

Gao Mo rubbed his eyes.

He was so sleepy when he came back yesterday that he didn't even have time to read the messages.

Moreover, the accidental deaths of Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend and Ryuo Usamoto had a great impact on him.

Everyone, including Conan, thought it was just an accident, which sometimes made him doubt himself and wonder if there was something wrong with his mind.

But all this also told him—

The Grim Reaper really exists, and there may be more than one.

He came back to life from the dead, not knowing whether it was good luck or bad luck that he was caught in a death spiral.

"Beep beep!"

Just as Gao Mo was about to read the "Shooting Guide", the cell phone beside him vibrated.

It was another call from Little Mustache.

"Good morning, Kido-kun," the man with the mustache yawned loudly. "I just got back from the police station. The case of the Tsumoto family has been resolved. There's something you won't believe."

"What?" Gao Mo put down the carrier magazine temporarily.

"Aren't you curious about how Usumoto Akiie was killed?" the man with the mustache said proudly, "At first, Usumoto Shoji refused to tell us, but it was my great detective, Maori Kogoro, who stepped in and successfully found the flaw!
"This guy turned out to be Qiu Jiang's extramarital affair. He was the one who deliberately lured Qiu Jiang to the deck to kill him with a borrowed knife! Haha, did you not expect this at all?" Gao Mo's mind was a little confused.

He knew that the Yamoto family was very abstract.

Ichiro fell in love with his uncle's daughter Xia Jiang, and Mariko and her husband are also cousins.

As a result, now the thick-browed and big-eyed Shoji Tsurumoto is with his brother's daughter Akie...

It is also particularly explosive in a wealthy consortium.

I couldn't tell at all.

"Let's not talk about this," Gao Mo shook his head, "It's better not to tell Miss Xia Jiang about this."

"Of course I wouldn't say anything casually."

The man with a mustache coughed and suddenly stammered on the phone.

"Um, Kido, do you think we have a pretty good relationship?"

"What's wrong?" Gao Mo subconsciously glanced at the projection of "Shooting Guide".

The relationship is indeed pretty good. I have drawn two books, one 3-star and one 4-star.

And the latter is somewhat useful.

"It's not a big deal," the mustache-faced man chuckled. "Yoko will be filming a TV show nearby next week. Could you take me with you to see the world? Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. I just want to see Miss Yoko filming."

Gao Mo then remembered that he still had another performance opportunity.

After discovering that the system's role-playing had nothing to do with acting, he almost forgot about it.

"I'll ask for you when the time comes." Gao Mo replied.

"You're quite nice, Kido!" the mustache-faced boy said happily, "Would you like to have a few drinks together tonight?"

"No, I don't like drinking. If you're really grateful, I'll teach you judo."

"It's not that I don't want to teach you, I'm just a half-baked person myself, and your physical foundation is not good enough. What's the point of just learning techniques? You..."

"beep!"

Gao Mo hung up the phone speechlessly.

When there is something, call Kido, and when there is nothing, he becomes Kido boy.

It's not done yet.

For a moment, I lost interest in reading the projected book.

Even if you get 4 stars, it is still not enough to upgrade your profession.

Gao Mo got up and turned off the TV, then opened the refrigerator out of habit, only to find that there was no Coke left, only a pile of beer.

I can only go to the convenience store downstairs.

I just went out to look for a reliable gym nearby.

He is too weak.

In the next period of time, I will first take care of my body and get rid of the sub-health condition.

The body is the capital of everything.

After reaching the basic requirements, I will ask Xiao Huzi to see if I can include a combat profession outside of the case.

He didn't expect too much for the time being, as long as he could protect himself.

"Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to directly strengthen the body?"

Gao Mo sighed and looked at the text projection on the coffee table.

I feel like the star rating in the storage pool has more uses than just upgrading professions.

Unfortunately, there has been no prompt.

I don’t know if it’s because the quantity is too small.

……

Gao Mo went to the convenience store downstairs to buy a bottle of ice cola, and asked the clerk for information about nearby gyms.

The other one only knew the company gym - which was obviously not available now.

Moreover, his previous company placed too much emphasis on weight loss, which was not suitable for him now.

He would prefer to have more muscle.

"Muscles?" The convenience store clerk glanced at Gao Mo in surprise. "Yes, there's a good gym over at 5-chome that should be able to meet your needs. The sign is 'Rice Flower Man, Rice Flower Soul'. You'll see when you get there."

"Thank you."
