Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

So you shouldn't worry too much.

The only thing to worry about is the issue of qualifications.

The practice of prioritizing seniority exists everywhere.

After all, the saying "a young man with no experience is unreliable" is quite deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Compared to young people with fair complexions, older people with gray hair are more likely to be trusted.

After all, being older means being more knowledgeable, more qualified, and more experienced.

Luo Zhen's strength was already sufficient.

However, there are some issues regarding age that are not really problems.

A person who has just turned eighteen is about to become the president.

It doesn't seem very reliable.

It's not a period of preparing for war or even going to war.

During special periods, the promotion path for capable individuals is very fast and smooth.

But normally, unless you have made any particularly significant contributions, you just have to wait it out.

"There's nothing else to do after that, so you can take a short rest."

Looking at the few files left on his desktop, Joseph stretched lazily.

Thanks to his tireless efforts, the vast majority of the work has been completed.

After that, all I need to do is arrange for Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue to enroll in school.

As for their training content, there's no need to rush.

There are relevant personnel within the Chiba base itself.

If all else fails, having Wu Yacha make a cameo appearance wouldn't be out of the question.

Some time ago, after careful consideration, Wu Yacha signed a formal employment contract with the organization.

Originally, he was just doing it as a part-time job, but now Wu Yacha is considered a full member of the Chiba base.

After all, her daughter had already decided to join, and she, as her mother, couldn't just stand by and watch.

Anyway, the salary is good and it won't affect my original life.

Therefore, it wasn't particularly difficult for Wu Yacha to accept.

Meanwhile, back home, Narumi Ryou was seething with resentment as she looked at her father, who had just returned from working overtime.

This workaholic idiot! He was getting much better before, but why has he started working overtime like crazy again lately?!

"I'm sorry, Muku, I've just had too much to do."

Noticing his daughter's unusual behavior, Naruhito knelt down and vigorously rubbed Naruhito's head.

Although it was said to be forceful, its actual strength wasn't particularly great.

After a busy day, Akito Naruhira was also exhausted.

I just felt extremely tired.

Even his physical condition was struggling to keep up.

My workload has suddenly increased recently for some reason.

Naruhito Akihito even checked to confirm whether it was the famous detective Kogoro Mouri and his family visiting Chiba.

Although there is no clear evidence, Akihito Naruhira discovered that Kogoro Mouri's family really does bring death wherever they go.

Those who are particularly arrogant in front of their family usually don't survive the night.

Including the presidents of those corporations, if you invite them to dinner, they'll basically be gone before the meal is even finished.

To be honest, Akito Naruhira once suspected that Kogoro Mouri might have hired someone to commit murder and then come out to boost his own performance.

But he later abandoned this speculation.

This is a bit too outrageous.

Besides, Kogoro Mouri was a legend in the Metropolitan Police Department back in the day.

Even now, you can still feel that the other person still has a sense of justice in their heart.

He identifies more with the identity of a detective than a former Metropolitan Police Department officer.

He also maintains contact with many people in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Based on that alone, there's no way he could have any problems.

However, the little boy next to Kogoro Mouri seemed a bit strange.

Although he had only met the child a few times, Akito Narumi always felt that the child was suspicious, but for various reasons he did not investigate further.

"Recently, Brother Baigui and his team have been investigating a gang that sells weapons."

"Although the technique was somewhat crude and poorly made, it was still very dangerous."

Normally, Akito Naruhira wouldn't say these things to his daughter.

However, to avoid upsetting his daughter, Akihito Narihira revealed a little bit of information.

In fact, the weapons trafficking gang was a major headache for the police in Chiba.

Because it seems there are skilled hackers among those guys.

Moreover, it consolidated several originally harmless street urchins into one group with an absolute dominant position.

Very troublesome.

"I've already told Brother Baigui about the woman you mentioned."

"We'll have news soon, don't worry."

"So hurry back to sleep, staying up late at your age will stunt your growth."

Naruhira Akito slapped his face hard and said with a smile.

Naruhira Akito didn't really care much about that so-called blonde woman.

After all, although he usually appears to be a workaholic, he's actually quite capable.

He's pretty ruthless with himself, at least.

"Ok."

Pouting, Meiru reluctantly returned to her room under the watchful gaze of Meiru Akito.

After watching his daughter return to her room, Naruhira Akito let out a long sigh.

Actually, he was under a lot of pressure, but he just didn't like to show it in front of his daughter.

The adult world is never easy.

What workaholic? Aren't they all forced into it?

"So-called cutting-edge technology..."

Nestled on the sofa, a complex mix of emotions flashed in Akito Naruhira's eyes.

To be honest, he didn't really care about this kind of thing at first, and just thought it was unreliable stuff circulating online.

But when faced with something completely incomprehensible, Akito Naruhira had no choice but to believe.

Chapter 1017 Gears in Flesh and Blood

On the train platform, Kogoro Mouri looked at the sign that read "Chiba" and let out a long sigh.

He never had a good impression of Chiba.

Although the overall environment is much more relaxed than Tokyo, it's not exactly friendly to him, a detective who always encounters troublesome incidents whenever he comes here.

The first time I came to Chiba, I encountered a serial killer case, and the killer had brutally dismembered the victim.

Later, although he met Brother Nohara and had a good drinking buddy, he encountered a madman who kidnapped the entire hotel.

The last time I came here, I encountered another serial murder case.

Why do I always encounter these strange things?

Compared to the Beika Town's 'local culture' where everyone commits crimes out of passion, even housewives can instantly transform into skilled criminals after committing a crime, setting up locked-room murders and creating alibis for themselves.

The case in Chiba can only be described as simple and brutal, and there was little cover-up afterwards.

But they're all crazy.

If possible, Kogoro Mouri wouldn't really want to come.

Unfortunately, my daughter, who has always been very lucky, won the travel voucher again.

Xiaolan has been very lucky since she was a child.

She always seems to come across travel vouchers and prizes that most people might never encounter in their lifetime.

And they were all drawn by chance.

"It's a rare opportunity to go out and have fun, Dad, don't always look so gloomy."

With her hands on her hips, Ran Mouri angrily addressed Kogoro Mouri.

My dad is great in every way...

Okay, actually it's not very good.

He has been separated from his mother for many years, frequently goes out to drink and gamble, often swoons over celebrities, and gets drunk all the time.

Although she was very kind to herself, Ran Mouri still harbored some resentment.

"Okay okay."

Kogoro Mouri, who had been watching TV and drinking until midnight last night, forced himself to stay awake and said with a smile.

Since it was my precious daughter's request, I had no choice but to agree.

No matter how unkempt and slovenly he himself was, he devoted all his heart and soul to his beloved daughter, Kogoro Mouri.

Putting everything else aside, Teitan Junior High School isn't a place you can just get into casually.

If it weren't for his daughter's education, Kogoro Mouri might have already moved away from Tokyo with Eri Kisaki.

If Chiba didn't give Kogoro Mouri a very friendly impression...

He found Tokyo very unpleasant.

Beneath the seemingly calm and prosperous surface lies suppressed restlessness and madness.

Those seemingly refined and gentle people are actually ruthless and heartless.

As a detective and former police officer, Kogoro Mouri has seen far too much.

My heart has even reached a point of numbness.

Sometimes, when faced with certain situations, Kogoro Mouri would use feigned madness to laugh it off.

Human relationships and social customs are nothing more than this.

"Hah~ Sister Xiaolan, shall we find a place to rest for a while?"

Rubbing his eyes, Conan yawned and said.

Last night he talked a lot with Professor Agasa, mostly about his inner confusion and anxiety.

Ultimately, the so-called Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era was just a seventeen-year-old high school student.

It's perfectly normal to feel panicked and scared when faced with something like this.

"Ok."

Seeing the two exhausted people, Ran Mouri felt somewhat helpless.

She has truly worried herself sick over this family.

I can only say that I've gotten used to it.

The three of them had just sat down in a nearby shop when Kogoro Mouri received a phone call.

"Hello, this is Detective Kogoro Mouri."
