Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 48 Kindaichi and Kogoro [Please read and vote for me_(□`」 ∠)_]

"Boom!"

Maru family residence.

There is a carp pond in the middle of the retro courtyard. Bamboo tubes periodically collect water and knock on the pebbles, producing bursts of clear sounds.

Surrounded by pine needles and stone lanterns, the dynamic and static scenery forms a natural Zen garden landscape.

However, Gao Mo did not have the elegant taste to appreciate the beautiful scenery, he just thought that this family was indeed rich.

Although the place is not in the city center, it is Tokyo after all, where every inch of land is valuable, and ordinary people cannot afford to build such a house.

He just walked around and it was like a small park.

In addition to the backyard, there are also many cherry trees planted in the front yard, and even the exterior of the mansion has been renovated.

The bluestone paved road leads directly to the front hall, which gives it a particularly grand feel as soon as you arrive.

"Wow!"

Looking at the carp swimming in the pond, Gao Mo leaned close to the water surface to check his makeup.

He has now dressed up as an old man in his 40s, imitating Kudo Yusaku by wearing black-framed glasses and a brown medium-length wig.

In order to prevent defects such as unnatural expressions and sweating, only minor adjustments were made to the face, and the transformation mainly focused on the eyebrows and beard.

You can vaguely see the shadow of "Kiroto Takamo", but it's harmless.

In terms of sound, Dr. Agasa's voice changer was used for the first time, and a small scarf was used to cover it.

Overall, he's more of a writer than a detective.

"Snap!" The carp suddenly turned over and jumped up, flapping its tail, splashing water all over Gao Mo, and then quickly disappeared into the crack at the bottom of the pool.

"..."

"There's absolutely no mistake," the man with the mustache said with certainty in the reception room, "Madam is indeed having an affair..."

"What? She dates him three times a week?! Could it be today too... That bitch Inako! She's been gone this early in the morning. She must be seeing some random guy again... Who is he?"

"Well...I need to check it out again."

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang outside the mansion.

The bearded and bald head of the family opened the door and walked out of the reception room. He did not react when he saw Gao Mo. From the beginning they met, he only regarded Gao Mo as Maori Kogoro's assistant.

"Excuse me, Mr. Maori. I'll go open the door first. I've sent all the servants out... I'll be back soon after taking the guest to his private room."

"Easy to say."

The man with a small mustache watched the other party leave from the corridor, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a long sigh, and his face was full of relief.

Fooled over.

"Cheng...Kindaichi," the man with the mustache turned to Gao Mo and smiled, "If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to get the final payment of 50 soon. I think you should come to me. I just happen to be short of an assistant. If we work together as a golden duo, we will definitely be able to dominate the country!"

"Ha ha……"

Gao Mo responded with a smile.

"What are you laughing at?" The man with the mustache was confused. "I'm serious. Don't people say we're Sherlock Holmes and Watson?"

"I'll think about it again."

Gao Mo didn't know how to explain to Xiao Huzi.

How could these two half-baked guys possibly dominate the country?

With Conan included, it was possible - he had learned from Kudo Yusaku that there were actually quite a few famous detectives hidden in this world, but they were just more low-key and didn't advertise in newspapers like the one with the mustache.

Conan's random "Sleeping Detective" to some extent accelerated the fame of the mustache.

In fact, many people in the industry still don't take mustaches seriously.

……

The time is 3:00 p.m. sharp.

The mustachioed master of the household left the reception room and led his visitor from the front room to a separate room on the other side of the mansion.

Gao Mo heard a faint voice and before he could investigate further, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

A few dark clouds appeared in the originally clear sky, and the sound of flowing water and knocking bamboo tubes in the courtyard slowed down, as if disturbed by some force.

The naughty carp in the pond floated to the surface at some point, its belly turned sideways.

The courtyard, which was originally full of Zen, became inexplicably gloomy.

coming……

Gao Mo turned his head, as if he could see through the mansion and see the blood-red mist rising from the other side.

This was the first time he was involved in a case by pursuing the scent of death.

Feel death, witness death.

"call!"

Just as the thought of approaching dawned in his heart, the terrifying sense of death once again weighed on him, and at the same time, a faint force tried to pull him in. An invisible blood-colored aura searched like a tentacle.

Gao Mo looked straight ahead and clenched his fingers.

The crime scene allowed him to escape the death list, but it was also the most dangerous place.

And the more I came into contact with it, the more I seemed to see - before, I had only vaguely felt the existence of that thing, and it had not been so concrete at all.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

The man with a small mustache walked out of the reception room in confusion, and following Gao Mo's line of sight, he saw only an empty courtyard and corridor.

"Why do you look like you saw a ghost?"

"fine."

Gao Mo calmly withdrew his gaze.

He was always the only one who could see it.

"Don't be so surprised. I've recently felt that being rich isn't a big deal. It's already impressive that you have a luxury apartment. At least you're richer than me. Someone like me needs to be calm in order to..."

The mustache man's face suddenly turned into fear.

I originally wanted to show off my taste and appreciate the Zen atmosphere of the garden, but when I accidentally saw the pond, my eyes widened in shock.

"That carp...how did you kill it?!"

The fish that was blowing bubbles just now has completely flipped over and is no longer moving.

"I didn't do it," Gao Mo felt like he was being blamed, "and it's not a rare species..."

"With only this one, how can I possibly keep a cheap one?" The man with the mustache looked around with sweat on his forehead. "Remember not to talk nonsense later. I don't want to pay all the commission fees."

"It really wasn't me." Gao Mo opened his mouth helplessly.

He was the victim—a fish had thrown water all over him for no apparent reason.

"The water on me was splashed by the carp's tail just now..."

"Look, you've already admitted it, so find a way to dry your clothes!"

The man with the mustache was completely panicked and quickly ran back to the reception room. He found a fan from somewhere and kept fanning Gao Mo.

Gao Mo: "..."

Everything was fine originally, but this guy made it more and more suspicious.

"Stop fanning him. He may not care about a fish." Gao Mo stopped the man with a mustache speechlessly.

I guess I don't have the energy to care anymore.

Although he didn't know the specific circumstances of the case, or who the deceased and the murderer were...it was obvious that after the murder happened, no one would be bored enough to investigate the death of Yu.

"Dulululu!"

At this moment, the landline phone at the corner of the corridor suddenly rang non-stop, as if it was urging someone to die, and it didn't return to normal until 15 rings.

The aura of death from the direction of the single room finally reached its peak.

Gao Mo subconsciously took a few steps away.

He did not forget that on the first day he had brought disaster upon himself by glancing at the prisoner.

"What the hell is that guy doing?" The guy with the mustache said with some dissatisfaction, "Didn't he say he would be back soon?"

"Wait a minute."

Gao Mo grabbed Xiao Huzi who wanted to go to the front yard to find out what was going on.

People would die anyway, and he didn't want to trigger the death rule.

Under the death contagion, even Little Mustache might get into trouble - his existence as a missed fish is like a fuse, and people who should not have died have died before.

Mustache may not always be so lucky.

"what?"

The man with a small mustache met Gao Mo's gaze blankly.

I don't know the reason, but I can feel Gao Mo's seriousness.

I've never seen Kido-chan like this before...

Strange, are you worried about him?
"Okay, okay."

The man with a mustache scratched his head and sat back in the reception room, looking at his watch and continuing to wait.

"But then again, your makeup looks really awkward, and the sound... Is this really okay?"

"Just remember to call me Kindaichi. The best disguise is half real and half fake." Gao Mo also sat down inside.

"Where on earth did you learn all this? Idol artists have to do their own makeup? You can't have learned it from Mamegaki Taeko last time, right? Haha, it's only been a short time..."
