Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 7 Supermarket Wars [Seeking monthly tickets and follow-up reading (ˊˋ)]

Apartment downstairs.

Gao Mo reluctantly paid for something to fill his stomach at a 24-hour convenience store.

There is only one feeling.

So expensive.

When I passed by the supermarket where I used to work, I found that it had reopened. The customer flow not only did not decrease, but increased.

It’s the Conan world after all, you’re used to these cases, right?
Gao Mo leaned over and took a look.

Because it was the next day's work, I only saw one other shift of employees, and the cashiers were two young girls who looked like students.

All the store clerks in public are women.

I heard that the manager of this shift is a middle-aged woman who looks like Nun Miejue, and she will temporarily manage both today and tomorrow's shifts until the new manager comes.

It is truly amazing.

Gao Mo shook his head and stopped paying attention.

He was going to an ordinary supermarket, which was a little far away.

Unlike the convenience store downstairs and the international supermarket, the ordinary supermarket focuses on low prices and family purchases, making it suitable for stocking up, but its location is relatively remote.

……

suburbs.

When we arrived, the sun was already setting.

What made Gao Mo uncomfortable was that a group of fierce aunts quickly swarmed around him, bringing with them a large number of eco-friendly bags, and obviously had the same idea as him.

Buying discounted goods in the Conan world is a science and a war.

Gao Mo was very clear about his current physical condition. He couldn't stand standing at the cash register for a whole day, and it was difficult for him to compete with these experienced and energetic housewives.

But there is still a chance.

His main target is cheap bread that is nearing its expiration date.

As an idol, he is quite frugal with food and has been here many times, so he has some experience in this area.

The main battlefield at 7 pm is fresh food, followed by daily necessities - toilet paper, laundry detergent and other consumables will be subject to hoarding and buying.

Bento sushi and the like are also quite popular, but we’ll have to wait until the next wave as they have a short shelf life, so we’ll have to wait and see how things go.

"Ok?"

A group of people were guarding the discount area waiting for the supermarket announcement. Gao Mo and the man with a mustache on the other side stood out from the crowd.

They looked at each other, but found that they were not competitors.

The mustache guy is eyeing discounted beer.

"Maori Kogoro?"

Gao Mo recognized this guy.

The other party's smug laughter in the TV interview was so magical that it's hard to forget.

Coincidentally.

The day he was resurrected happened to be the day Kogoro Mouri took off.

The Maori Detective Agency, which was originally half-dead, has suddenly improved recently. It is estimated that it will become a famous detective in no time.

"It's about to begin!" There was a commotion in the crowd, and their breathing became heavier.

Some people also left suddenly, apparently having received news of lower discounts at other supermarkets.

The veteran just kept sneering.

Once you have determined your goal, don't change it easily. Being indecisive will only lead to nothing in the end.

Some people were secretly happy, as if they were spreading false information in the community.

"Time now... price reduction starts!"

As supermarket employees put discounted items on the shelves, housewives rushed to their target and did not stop once they got the items. They immediately ran to other areas as if they were in a hurry.

Kogoro Mori was not in a hurry.

No one was competing with this guy for beer. He walked like an emperor until he slipped and fell hard.

He got up in a panic and pretended nothing had happened, but immediately his face turned ugly and he glared at Gao Mo, very dissatisfied with his attempt to hold back his laughter.

What are you laughing at? Isn't it just wrestling?
Gao Mo ignored the mustache. At the same time as the housewives were rushing to buy, he had already activated his Eagle Vision for 5 seconds, and his dim eyes took in all the details around him.

The dust and fluff in the air...all the chaotic information that normal people would not notice at all are imprinted in the eyes.

Fortunately, Eagle Eye Vision is an extraordinary ability after all. The impact of a large amount of data did not overload Gao Mo's brain, but instead caused him to enter an extraordinary state.

All the housewives' movements became slow motion, and their destinations were clear.

It took less than 5 seconds for Gao Mo to find the best path. He wandered among the fierce crowd and easily got his target - two large bags of expired bread and a lot of instant noodles at a very low price.

All prices of near-expiry foods in the fast food section are cut in half, making it a paradise for people on a tight budget.

Most of the housewives went to the fresh food area first, and few people competed with Gao Mo.

"Get some more eggs to supplement your nutrition."

Eagle Vision ended early, Gao Mo still felt a little dizzy, and hurriedly took the last box of eggs.

perfect!

"This kid..."

Maori Kogoro rubbed his eyes, and watched suspiciously for a while, and actually saw that Gao Mo was at ease: "This kid is a bit evil."

What kind of people would rush to buy things in the supermarket like experts?

It's just baffling.

After picking up a few bottles of beer, Kogoro Mouri walked towards the cashier with his head held high.

There is no need to rush to buy anything, as supermarkets are places where people only come occasionally to stock up on supplies.

"The second hurdle." Gao Mo's eyes moved back and forth between the long queues at the checkout counter.

He had also worked as a cashier and knew that a shorter line didn't necessarily mean a faster queue.

If you want to choose a queue that is neither too long nor too short, it is best to judge the cashier's proficiency level. There might be a slacker like him among them.

The clearance lasted for an hour, which was actually plenty of time for him.

But he needs to check out now and prepare for the next wave of buying.

The supermarket is so far away, he doesn't want to come here every day.

And today's deals are even bigger than usual! There's also a limited-time discount at the checkout counter, with the first 40 people getting 8% ​​off. Which team are you on?
Gao Mo carefully observed the cashier in front of him, and suddenly a chill rushed from behind. He turned around and saw an old lady in the fresh food area staring fiercely at the eggs in his hand.

The familiar feeling of death again...

No, it’s just a box of eggs. Does this lady want to kill someone?
Gao Mo was very confused, and just then, Maori Kogoro passed by, so he quickly stuffed the egg over to him.

The effect was immediate. The next moment, I saw the auntie unwilling to leave and started another shopping spree.

what happened?

Is it because he just used supernatural powers?
Gao Mo took the egg back from Xiao Huzi's arms, but this time it didn't cause any commotion.

Maori Kogoro was like a goose: "?"

what does it mean?

……

A quarter of an hour later.

checkout counter.

Gao Mo looked numb, and Maori Kogoro, who was following behind him, also looked annoyed.

After analyzing it over and over again, I didn't expect that I would end up in the slowest queue.

There was nothing wrong with the cashier, but there was something wrong with the people in line.

I don't know why there was a sudden quarrel in front.

"Buzz!"

It was finally Gao Mo's turn, but the discount for the first 40 people had already ended.

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly vibrated in my arms.

"Wait."

While Gao Mo was paying, he freed his hands to answer the phone.

Yoko finally called.

"Kirouto-senpai," Okino Yoko said in a tired voice with a hint of fear, "Do you know a reliable private investigator? I seem to be being targeted lately. I received a lot of secretly taken photos, and someone even chased me while I was jogging last night. I'm really scared..."

"Y-Yoko?"

Behind him, Kogoro Mouri stood there in amazement.

It was the voice of his favorite Yoko...even though he couldn't hear it clearly, there was no mistaking it!

As a huge fan of Yoko Okino's music and dramas, and a loyal audience, he couldn't have heard it wrong...

"You know Miss Yoko... Wait, you look like that outdated idol named Mo?"

Countless scenes instantly played out in Kogoro Mouri's mind, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

"Y-you two are secretly dating?!"

"You heard wrong."

Gao Mo looked at the housewives around him who were listening intently, discussed a meeting with Yoko, and then hurriedly checked out and left the supermarket.

Yoko Okino is very popular now, and she can't let any scandals spread.

He had absolutely no intention of using Yoko's popularity to become popular again.

Whether it's for the sake of character or life...

"and many more!"

Kogoro Maori didn't even bother to buy beer. He caught up with Gao Mo with a pale face and sweat all over his forehead.

"I can't be mistaken, you've been on a show with Yoko before! My daughter even has a poster of you hidden away!"

Gao Mo paused when he heard this.

The girl with the mustache, isn’t she Mao Lilan?
Conan's sister Ran...is also a fan?
To be honest, he didn't think there was anything about himself as an idol that could attract Xiaolan.

"Don't you want to say something?" Maori Kogoro gritted his teeth and almost grabbed Gao Mo's collar regardless of the occasion.

What a bastard, not only did he lead his daughter astray, but now he is also harming his beloved Miss Yoko.

"If I were dating Yoko, would I still come to grab the discounted bread?" Gao Mo turned back helplessly, "We are just friends."

"That seems to be the case," Maori Kogoro remained skeptical, "but... you are going to see Yoko now, right?"

Before Gao Mo could deny it, the man with the mustache suddenly changed into a different person, putting on a wretched smile: "Um... can you take me with you?
Don't worry, I'm definitely not a suspicious person. To be honest, I'm actually the famous detective Maori Kogoro, and I'm also a loyal fan of Ms. Yoko..."

"No." Gao Mo refused decisively.

"Hey, please help me, please."

Kogoro followed Gao Mo humbly.

"I heard it all. If you're looking for a reliable private investigator... I'm definitely the best choice!"

"hehe."

Gao Mo thought of this guy's performance in the animation.

He has an aura of lower intelligence and often drags the surrounding police officers down to the same level of handling cases.

It's rarely reliable.

Bringing this guy along would only cause trouble for Yoko...

and many more.

Gao Mo looked at Maori Kogoro again.

Why hire another detective? He could just use the name of Little Moustache to get the commission from Yoko's agency.

He will handle the investigation himself.

Even with Eagle Vision, you don't have to worry about not finding clues.

"What's wrong?" Kogoro Mouri was stunned by the look.

I have a bad feeling...
