Gin doesn't want to work hard

"All I know is that Kurosawa used to be very busy with work."

"He only has time to come to my house to play games about once every week or two."

Even so, he would often be called away from the game at the last minute.

At this point, Dr. Agasa paused, as if he had thought of something.

"I remember one time, Kurosawa had just sat down when the phone rang."

"His face looked terrible at the time, and he seemed to have cursed his boss a couple of times."

"This is the first time I've ever seen Kurosawa swear, so I remember it very clearly."

Conan nodded secretly upon hearing this.

It seems that Kurosawa's previous job was indeed not easy.

For someone to be driven to the point of cursing, his previous boss must have been a very difficult person to get along with.

Moreover, for Kurosawa, being called away to work overtime in the middle of a game is an extremely painful experience.

This might explain why Kurosawa is so addicted to games now.

Shuichi Akai was not surprised by Professor Agasa's description.

Based on his investigation, Kurosawa's previous working conditions were even worse than this.

His boss was exploiting him relentlessly.

"Although this may be considered an invasion of privacy, you should still take a look."

Shuichi Akai distributed the information he had gathered to everyone present.

Conan and the others exchanged glances and began to examine the items themselves.

Shuichi Akai's investigation yielded very detailed information.

Kurosawa's experiences from childhood to adulthood are all on it.

Conan skimmed through the text, his expression gradually turning serious.

He knew that Kurosawa was an orphan.

But he didn't know that, for this reason, Kurosawa had been subjected to years of school bullying!

There were even a few times when it was so serious that I had to be hospitalized?!

Conan's eyes widened slightly.

He seemed to understand how Kurosawa had acquired his current fighting prowess.

Sure enough, the subsequent information showed...

Kurosawa was admitted to Toto University.

After I went to college, the bullying incidents stopped.

However, due to the previous impact, Kurosawa closed himself off and even enrolled in several martial arts classes.

My daily routine throughout university consisted of attending classes, exercising, and then attending classes again...

He had absolutely no social life, which led him to live a solitary life in college and have no friends.

Upon seeing this, Conan fell silent for a moment.

He had no idea that Kurosawa had gone through all of this.

Conan continued reading.

After graduation, due to a lack of experience, Kurosawa was tricked into joining a company and signing a contract that would last for several years.

After that, it was Kurosawa's daily life of being exploited by that company's boss.

After discovering Kurosawa's exceptional business acumen, the boss practically wanted to weld Kurosawa to his post.

Not only did they inhumanely demand that Kurosawa be on call at all times, but they also routinely used rhetoric to belittle and suppress him, attempting to control him mentally.

Fortunately, the company was recently found to have engaged in tax evasion, bribery of officials, and other problems. The boss absconded with the money, and the company was effectively defunct, allowing Kurosawa to escape the situation.

What happened next is what Conan knows.

Chapter 270 Changes in Conan and His Friends

Conan put down his phone and let out a long sigh.

Kurosawa's current personality is largely due to that boss.

Perhaps in order to better control Kurosawa, the boss did a lot of brainwashing.

Kurosawa lacked experience in normal communication with people from a young age, which eventually led to his personality.

And his psychological problems... are definitely related to that boss!

Thinking of this, Conan felt a rare surge of anger towards the boss he had never met.

"What happened to that boss in the end?" Conan couldn't help but ask.

The document only states that the boss absconded with the money, but it does not mention where he went or what his final fate was.

Upon hearing Conan's words, the others, who had also finished reading the information, looked up at Shuichi Akai, waiting for his reply.

No one would remain indifferent after learning this; they believed that Shuichi Akai must have conducted further investigations into that boss.

Shuichi Akai did not disappoint them, and gave an answer that met societal expectations.

"That boss was eventually caught."

"Because the amount of money involved was too large, he was eventually sentenced to seven years in prison."

Conan and the others nodded, feeling somewhat better.

At least the bad guys got punished.

"What about those kids who used to bully Kurosawa?"

Ai Haibara raised a question.

Upon hearing this, Shuichi Akai sighed and shook his head.

"Because they were all minors, and Mr. Kurosawa was still in an orphanage at the time..."

"After the children's parents gave a sum of money to the welfare home, the person in charge of the welfare home signed a letter of understanding."

"This kind of guy has absolutely no right to run a welfare home!"

Yukiko Kudo looked a little angry.

"Alright, calm down, Yukiko."

Kudo Yusaku reassured him.

"What's done is done, so all we can do is pay more attention to Kurosawa from now on."

Dr. Agasa also seemed somewhat troubled.

He sighed deeply and decided that he would have to put more effort into Kurosawa's games from now on.

At least it can make Kurosawa a little happier.

Ai Haibara and Conan also fell silent for a while.

Shuichi Akai looked at the group and patted them on the shoulder.

"Alright, let's get back to our previous topic."

"Regarding the issue between Gin and Mr. Kurosawa."

Shuichi Akai's words managed to rouse Conan and the others.

"In order to make Mr. Kurosawa willingly maintain the identity of 'Kurosawa Jin'."

"Gin must have promised Mr. Kurosawa something."

"As for what Gin actually agreed to..."

Akai Shu paused.

Conan had a sudden inspiration and picked up the conversation.

"Don't hurt the people around Kurosawa!"

Shuichi Akai nodded slightly.

"That's right, that should be roughly it."

"Although Gin's words are not credible."

"But he is trying to cultivate an image of being a man of his word, at least in front of Mr. Kurosawa."

"So, you should be safe for now."

Shuichi Akai addressed Conan, Ai Haibara, and Professor Agasa.

That being said, Conan and his friends didn't seem happy.

hateful!

In that case, wouldn't they become accomplices in Gin's scheme to lure Kurosawa?

Conan couldn't help but frown when he thought about how Kurosawa had previously shown such trust in Gin.

Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara are the same.

"Hey, don't make that face."

Akai Shuichi smiled easily.

"At least, Gin doesn't know your identities yet."

"In a way, Gin is the one who was being used."

"Besides, we'll eventually destroy the organization, won't we?"

Conan perked up upon hearing this.

That's right!
