Maori Kogoro began to understand everything

"Conan, are you there?"

Mitsuhiko looked at the dim corridor and swallowed his saliva. "I think I should go out and find someone first..."

"No,"

Conan, with a head full of lumps and a sour face, appeared at the door of the children's library. "The police will be here soon."

"Conan?"

A few people walked into the children's library in a daze, only to find that the scary-looking director was lying next to the bookshelf, and Maori was sitting on a chair next to him with a serious face.

"Uncle Maori?"

"How will you be here?"

"Why am I here?"

Mao Li shouted, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question?! Do you know that if I had come a little later, you might have died!"

"Yeah, sorry!"

The three little ones were frightened by Maori's serious look, and they all bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes immediately.

"If saying sorry works, then why do we need the police?"

Maori glanced at the three children and Conan who was laughing dryly at the side, and took out his cell phone, "Anyway, I'll contact Officer Megure to deal with this... After he arrives, I'll have a good chat with you and your parents about the professionalism of your Junior Detective Team!"

"Professionalism?"

"Since Sherlock Holmes needs the Baker Street Guerrillas, I, Kogoro Maori, must also build up your Junior Detective Team!"

Chapter 23: Young Detective Team, roll up!

Not long after Mao Li began to understand everything, he actually thought about how to properly guide these naughty kids in the Junior Detective Team. The reasons are mainly two-fold:

On the one hand, based on the extra knowledge and information in Maori's mind, he is very clear that these children of the Junior Detective Team will be directly or indirectly involved in quite a few cases in the future, and sometimes they will even become key figures who hold key clues to the case and help Conan solve the case.

On the other hand, although these children are a little bit naughty, under certain circumstances, they can also burst out with courage and wit that will impress adults. In other words, their future is promising and their plasticity and upper limit are extremely high.

Therefore, taking these two aspects into consideration, Maori decided to personally serve as the consultant of the Junior Detective Team, and at the same time train the three children in the direction of Sherlock Holmes' special assistants, the "Baker Street Guerrillas" - doing so will not only allow them to understand what to do and what not to do, so as not to be foolish enough to turn on the lights before the criminals leave like they did today; it will also allow them to have a certain self-protection ability when encountering danger, thereby increasing their chances of survival; they can also use their identity as children to avoid the criminals' vigilance against Maori, the famous detective, and the police; it can even kill their excess energy, so as to save Maori and others from worrying about it.

In a word, it kills four birds with one stone, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely! The children may have to work a little harder in the process, but there is no way around it and it is an inevitable price to pay - just like from ordinary gamers to e-sports players, the entertainment value of anything will be greatly reduced or even completely stripped away in the process of becoming professional, even the "Young Detective Team" game that children play like playing house is no exception.

Of course, the Baker Street Guerrillas composed of street children can help Holmes easily get all kinds of confidential information on the streets of London. This standard that can only be achieved in the setting of novels is not something that Maori intends to force children to pursue - firstly, it is unrealistic, and secondly, it is unnecessary.

For these children, Maori intends to carry out more practical and wise targeted training based on their characteristics:

First is Yoshida Ayumi. This little loli is at the bottom of the trio in terms of physical and psychological qualities, but she is very caring, meticulous and sensitive. Therefore, Maori plans to ask her former forensic colleague to teach her some first aid methods and medical knowledge, in case the children encounter any accidents; second is Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko. This "real little adult" has both courage and wisdom, and also knows the limits. Therefore, Maori plans to ask a familiar police negotiator to teach him some psychological knowledge and communication skills so that he can communicate with others to inquire about information; finally, there is Kojima Genta. This elementary school student with exaggerated body shape and strength can be called "abnormal development", so Maori plans to let Dr. Agasa make some special equipment for him - apart from anything else, with Conan's foot strength, he can kick out the effect of a small missile with the help of electromagnetic wave shoes. If Genta gets a pair of the same shoes, the power will be doubled, right?

By the way, the kids received a training program to make them better and more professional, and the last member of the Junior Detective Team, Conan, received a slap from Mori and a week of tutoring - as a high school detective, the most responsible one among the four, he really should be punished for his performance tonight.

……

A few days later, the TV station’s live reasoning show happened.

That day, Mao Li returned to the detective agency from the Metropolitan Police Department humming a little tune - he had left home early this morning and rushed there. In addition to helping the police complete the records of several previous cases, he also wanted to collect a total of 30 yen in reward for solving the case.

Although Maori's purpose of solving the case on non-commissioned basis was not for the money, he was very happy to receive the money. He had already decided to take Xiaolan and Conan out for a big meal tonight.

however--

"What? Conan was picked up by his mother?"

Maori looked at Xiaolan who was coming down from upstairs with a confused look on his face.

"yes,"

Xiaolan was happy for Conan but also a little reluctant, "Dad, he was picked up not long after you left. By the way, this is Conan's mother's business card."

"…Edogawa Fumiyo?"

Mao Li took the business card and looked at it in confusion, then left the detective agency with a serious face, "I'm going to go out for a while, you take care of the house, Xiaolan!"

(That kid Conan is the smaller version of Kudo Shinichi, where did a mother named Edogawa Fumiyo come from?!)

……

In Beika-cho 2-chome, Maori first went to Kudo Shin's family, and then pressed the doorbell of Dr. Agasa's nearby house, but it seemed that no one was there.

Conan did not return home, and no one knew where Professor Agasa had gone.

"Could it really be that Shinichi's parents are back?"

Maori stood at the door of Dr. Agasa's house with a frown on his face.

Since Shinichi has now become Conan, his parents must of course change their identities, and it is normal to take a fake name like Edogawa Fumiyo.

And from the perspective of personality, compared to himself and Eri Kisaki, Shinichi's parents, Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo, would indeed be able to match his eccentric personality of using a pseudonym...

……

"Ha ha……"

In an alley next to the house, Conan was panting and holding on to the wall.

Early this morning, a fat woman named Edogawa Fumiyo took him out of the Mori Detective Agency. At first he thought he had met a scammer, but he didn't expect that the other party actually knew his true identity and was most likely a member of the Black Organization.

However, he managed to escape halfway and originally wanted to go to the Mori Detective Agency, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to look for Dr. Agasa. However, he didn't expect that the doctor was not at home.

Hearing the doorbell, Conan stuck his head out in confusion, and when he saw it was Maori, he quickly greeted him happily.

"Mao...Woo!"

Before he could even utter a word, a hand suddenly covered Conan's mouth and nose with a handkerchief from behind.

Oh no! It's drugs!

Before losing consciousness, Conan only had time to reach out and grab outside the alley, but was soon dragged deep into the alley by a fat woman with a sinister face.

"Hehe, just have some sleep, little brat."

"Ok?"

Maori pressed the doorbell again, and suddenly looked towards the alley as if he had sensed something.

"There seemed to be someone here just now..."

When I walked to the entrance of the alley, I saw obvious footprints on the snow. They looked a bit messy, and there were traces of dragging.

Mao Li hurried through the alley and saw only a car speeding away.

He did hear someone calling him just now...

Conan?

……

It was late at night and a crescent moon hung in the sky, making Tokyo seem quite quiet after the snow stopped.

Maori used the moonlight reflected by the snow to carefully reach the courtyard of an old house.

After sensing something was wrong, he kept chasing the car, using various methods, and finally managed to not lose it...

(I need to buy a car quickly!)

After looking around, Maori easily climbed over the wall and saw the car in the snow in the yard.

He found that there was still light in the window on the second floor, so he crouched closer and listened for a while against the corner of the wall. After making sure that there was no one on the first floor, he tiptoed to the door.

The door was not locked, and Maori easily sneaked to the stairs to the second floor.

"But is he really Kudo Shinichi?"

A voice came from the room, "It doesn't look like..."

"Yeah, I can't be completely sure, but after Kudo Shinichi disappeared, this kid showed up in the detective agency. And since he showed up, Maori Kogoro, who was originally a third-rate detective, has become famous..."

"He must have shrunk because he took the new poison developed by the organization..."

Outside the room, Maori's expression became solemn.

From the sound, there are two people, a man and a woman, and they are from the Black Organization that developed the medicine Conan took. They should have guns...

(Calm down, Maori! You can’t afford to make any mistakes at this time!)

Mao Li's body was tense and he bent slightly, making a posture that was convenient for explosive power. Since he began to understand everything, in addition to practicing judo, which he was already good at, he also secretly learned Jeet Kune Do.

This martial art, which relies on fast and powerful attacks to suppress the opponent and achieve the purpose of preemptive strike, is exactly the best weapon he has to deal with such situations!

Then--

(3! 2! 1!!)

Maori kicked the door open and rushed in. Before the people inside could react, he attacked the two men at lightning speed.

"Bang! Bang!"

Chapter 24 Conan Begins to Be Bought Out

Jeet Kune Do is indeed a powerful martial art, and the master who taught Maori Jeet Kune Do is indeed a true master, but learning all martial arts takes a lot of time, and Maori has only learned Jeet Kune Do for a few months. Therefore, although he has the martial arts foundation of Jiu-Jitsu, his current Jeet Kune Do level can only be said to be average.

But...

(Hey, is this true?!)

Seeing the masked man and the fat woman in the room being knocked down easily by him, Maori was stunned for a moment - he didn't think that the members of the Black Organization would be of this level.

"Uncle Maori?"

Conan, who was tied up nearby, had already woken up. Seeing Maori kill the two men in black in an instant, he opened his mouth in surprise, "How did you get here?"

"What do you think? Are you here to play mahjong?"

Maori rolled his eyes at Conan and untied the ropes that bound him while saying, "Of course I came to save you. After all, I'm a famous detective, so it's impossible that I don't even know that you're in trouble. Okay, do you have any idea about how to deal with these two people now?"

"They..."

Conan walked to the fallen man and woman with a serious expression, and found that the man's mask had fallen off. When he looked over, he was suddenly stunned and took a step back in surprise.

"D-Dad?!"

Even though the man was disguised, Conan couldn't possibly mistake him; this man was his father, Kudo Yusaku, a mystery novelist!

"and many more!"

Conan's mouth twitched stiffly, and as if he realized something, he looked at the fat woman who had fainted beside him with drooping eyelids, "In that case, this couldn't be..."

……

The next day, the weather was better than yesterday. The sunlight shone on the snow-covered old house, reflecting a dazzling golden light.

"Really? I admire you two, you two. Just go see your son, why bother with disguises?"

Maori looked speechlessly at Conan's parents who had taken off their disguises, the famous mystery novelist Kudo Yusaku, and the legendary actress Kudo Yukiko who had retired from the film industry.

At this point, even though the formal showdown process has not yet begun, Maori can no longer pretend to be ignorant of Conan's true identity.

"Ha ha,"

Kudo Yusaku rubbed his neck and laughed heartily, "We also want to take this opportunity to test this kid's vigilance... But speaking of which, Maori, you used Jeet Kune Do just now, right? It's quite powerful!"

"Jet Kune Do?"

Yukiko Kudo looked at Maori curiously, "Eri never told me that you, Maori, can do Jeet Kune Do..."

"Your son forced me to do this."

Maori glanced at Conan who was laughing dryly at the side, "This kid accidentally caused such a big disaster, and now he is staying in my house, which completely disrupted my plan to live a peaceful life..."

"I'm sorry, Maori, Inuko has caused you trouble."

Of course, Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko were sensible people, and they immediately bowed slightly to Maori sincerely.

"Well, we'll talk about this later. Now you and your family should have a good chat."

Maori waved his hand and tactfully walked outside the old house, leaving space for the reunited family. He lit a cigarette and leaned against the car in the snow, puffing away.
