Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 29: Mamegaki Taeko's Makeup Guide

The next morning.

Gao Mo, who had been reading "Makeup Guide" with the light on all night, was awakened by the sound of traffic.

I stood up and looked out the window, and saw that the crew was packing up and loading their things into the truck.

Ready to leave.

That's right, the main actor Shingo Nachi was taken away by the police, and the accompanying photographer was hit and killed by a car... Even if you wanted to take pictures when something like this happened, you couldn't.

And because of Nachi Shingo's scandal, the entire TV series will be affected.

Fortunately, he finished filming yesterday and received his salary, so he didn't have to suffer as much as Xiao Huzi.

"Kirouto-chan!"

Kogoro Mouri went out yawning and met Gao Mo in the corridor.

"You didn't sleep well last night, did you? You don't look very energetic."

"Ah."

Gao Mo felt sore all over.

It should be said that he didn't dare to sleep at all last night, and only took a nap in the morning.

The case itself is nothing, what is scary is the unpredictable god of death behind it.

That thing seemed to be able to sense him... No, it should be said that it could sense the existence of the system.

If you're not careful, it can bypass the system and affect him.

Gao Mo did not leave the hotel immediately. He habitually used his eagle vision to observe his surroundings. He followed the mustache man only after he saw no danger.

After one night, the aura of death seemed to have completely disappeared.

My shoulders felt much lighter as if a heavy burden had been lifted off of them.

"It was published in the newspaper so quickly." The man with a mustache took a newspaper from the front desk.

The front page was a photo of Shingo Nachi being taken away by the police. The specific details were vague speculations, but the fact that Shingo Nachi had an affair with a married actress was fully uncovered.

"The popular young actor is secretly meeting with Ritsuko Akiyama!"

"Nachi Shingo's secret path to fame..."

Gao Mo also picked up a newspaper and looked through it.

I have to admire these reporters from the Conan world. Fortunately, he ran fast yesterday, otherwise he would definitely be photographed.

I don’t know what news will come out by then.

"The photographer's death is suspected to be a punishment from heaven, and he was harvested by the god of death!"

"Is it an accident or fate?"

Turning the page, the blackmail story of photographer Anxi was also reported.

Mamegaki Taeko was not mentioned.

All the limelight was taken away by the unlucky Nachi Shingo.

The other is the TV drama location crew...

Gao Mo keenly noticed the reporters flocking outside the hotel - the news that Yoko Okino was filming had also spread.

It looks like the location crew won't be able to leave for a while.

"Ms. Yoko is really smart," the mustache man sighed repeatedly, "Luckily she left with her agent overnight, otherwise this place would be bustling."

Turning around, Gao Mo was still immersed in the Anxi report. The man with the mustache sneered, "These guys are really good at talking nonsense. They made up a death god out of an accident. Where in the world is there a death god? If you ask me..."

"Cough cough!"

Gao Mo interrupted the man with the mustache.

Although it's not a big deal, it's a sensitive moment for him now, so it's better to keep a low profile.

"I'm going to sleep for a while... Boss, please prepare some breakfast for me." Gao Mo shouted to the boss's wife who was cleaning.

"Aren't you going back?" The man with a mustache stared blankly at Gao Mo as he picked up the newspaper and went upstairs.

"No, I'll stay for two more days before leaving."

"father!"

At this time, Xiaolan came back from outside with Conan.

Conan, who had been busy all night, looked at Gao Mo with resentment on his face.

He had already tried to talk to Douyuan Taeko, but in the end he didn't get any useful information.

All we know is that Gao Mo appeared in time to stop Douyuan Taeko's murderous impulse. The 1000 yen was indeed given by Gao Mo suddenly, but it doesn't mean anything at all.

If Gao Mo really wanted to kill Anxi, he didn't have to do anything. He just had to watch Douyuan Taeko kill people.

You can't assume that Gao Mo can control the crows and make Anxi slip accurately... Even so, the timing of Nachi's appearance in the car may not be so easy to control.

Each condition is a low-probability event, let alone combining them all together.

It is simply beyond human control.

Unless Gao Mo is the god of death - how is that possible?
"Xiao Lan, pack up and get ready to leave." The man with a mustache didn't understand Gao Mo's plan, but he didn't ask much.

The 30 consulting fees that were within reach were lost because of a trivial matter.

He is very sad.

Judging from the crew’s behavior, I don’t know whether they will pay or not.

"Let's go, Conan." Xiaolan pulled Conan upstairs to clean the room.

I didn't bring much with me, as I wasn't planning on staying overnight. I only brought a water bottle, some snacks, and a signature board.

"Ah!" Xiaolan realized belatedly, "I forgot to ask for an autograph!"

"Wouldn't a Shingo Nachi autograph be better?" Conan responded flatly. "I mean, Miss Yoko. Sonoko and the others said it only needs to be a celebrity..." Xiaolan was annoyed for a moment, then turned to stare at Gao Mo, who had taken breakfast from the proprietress.

"?"

Gao Mo took a bite of bread.

"Don't think about hitting on me. I'll ask Yoko for a few more autographs when I get a chance."

"Yes, Xiaolan-sister," Conan echoed, "It's better not to let others know about Kido-brother's affairs."

Especially that gossipy Sonoko - Conan added in his heart.

Now that Gao Mo knew his identity, regardless of how he knew it, the two of them were basically on the same side.

If Gao Mo attracts the attention of the Black Organization, he won't be able to escape unscathed.

Helping Gao Mo is helping himself.

"Cough." Gao Mo took a sip of hot milk.

Conan seemed to have misunderstood something.

He thought about it carefully that night and had some idea about the main mechanism of Death.

With death incidents and a system to help him hide himself, his normal life is not actually affected much, and he does not need to pretend to be dead and hide like Conan's "Kudo Shinichi".

The reason he was affected by the aftermath last night was mainly because of his intervention.

The real problem right now is that the Death Mark can trigger and even amplify malicious intent—

A little malice in life is harmless, just avoid it in time.

The reason why he didn't make a comeback was that he was worried that his malice would get out of control and he would not be able to hide from it.

Celebrities are too easily drawn to malice. Apart from anything else, he wouldn't be able to bear it if there were a few more pathological fans like Matsumoto Aya.

With the Death Mark there, he could fully imagine what the weird fans would do.

Even without fans, there are still colleagues...

Gao Mo thought about what happened to Yoko Okino again, and his desire to create a pseudonym became stronger.

With the pseudonym, other people can't find the real him even if they have ideas about him.

"Mr. Kido!"

Before Xiaolan took Conan downstairs, Mameko Douyuan and her fiancé Yuji Shimazaki happened to be coming upstairs and almost knelt down in front of Gao Mo on the spot.

"I heard everything Taeko said," Shimazaki clutched his fiancée's fingers tightly, holding the morning paper about Anzai in his other hand, "It was Anzai's fault in the first place... If it weren't for you, Taeko would have really been dragged down by Anzai!"

Even now, Shimazaki is still extremely scared.

He doesn't care about the past, he's just afraid that his fiancée will do something stupid now.

"Thank you, indeed!"

"I don't know how to thank you..."

"It's nothing. Don't tell anyone about this." Gao Mo was almost frightened by the young couple. "Just start a new life."

"Mr. Kido, would you like to attend my wedding with Taeko next month?" Shimazaki asked.

"It's hard to say. I may not have the time."

Gao Mo was not interested in attending the wedding.

Thinking of "Makeup Guide" and the art museum staff she was about to play, she quickly turned to Mamegaki Taeko.

"Ms. Taeko, can you give me a makeup kit?"

"Mr. Kido, are you interested in makeup?" Mamegaki Taeko was surprised for a moment, then nodded. "I'll give you my toolbox now. There's also a notebook that should be of some help. I'll go back and look for it..."

"Don't bother. I just need the tools."

Gao Mo already had a rough grasp of the "Makeup Guide".

Although it is also a 4-star career book, its difficulty is much lower than Moustache's "Shooting Guide".

It may be related to the fact that Mameko is just an ordinary makeup artist.

The follow-up is just a matter of time and experience, which is enough for him to use in disguise.

……

Teitan Hotel.

Fūya Rei sat by the window in a high-end restaurant, flipping through reports about Nachi Shingo with some interest. Seeing exaggerated headlines like "Death God", he couldn't help but laugh slightly.

The dining table was exquisitely decorated, with a set of tableware opposite. The reflection of the wine glass revealed a woman with big blond hair, whose face was hidden by a hat.

"That's rare, Bourbon. What are you so happy about?"

"Interesting news," Furuya Rei casually put down the newspaper. "But you, how did you find the time to come to Japan? Is it related to the organization's recent sudden recruitment?"

"I just stayed in one place for too long and always wanted to change places."

The blonde woman lit a cigarette.

"I heard you're trying to recruit a washed-up idol. Don't let him get dragged into this. There have been a lot of problems with candidates lately. If he's found to be a spy..."

Fūya Rei's expression turned cold for a moment.

Is someone investigating him?

"I think you misunderstood. What's so good about recruiting a washed-up idol... Instead of worrying about me, you should think about how to complete the task that gentleman assigned to you."
