"I don't know about this either. The boss never told us, haha..."
Carly laughed, her eyes filled with clear stupidity.
When Conan heard this, he looked at her blankly, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
Invincible, are you serious?
Don’t you care at all about your boss’s obviously problematic behavior?
Conan couldn't help but start to wonder, was it really possible for him to get any information out of this man's mouth?
"Okay, let's not talk about this..."
Just when Conan was about to give up, Carly suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously:
"Let me tell you quietly, in fact, a very interesting thing happened in our company recently!"
"Oh? What's the matter?" Mouri Kogoro asked curiously.
Although he had given up hope, Conan's ears perked up slightly when he heard this.
"You know Kaitou Kidd, right? I heard that he seems to have sent a warning letter to our boss..."
【Kaitou Kidd! 】
He didn't expect to hear this name here at all, and the look on Conan's face was extremely shocked.
"Kid?!" Mao Lilan heard this and subconsciously covered her mouth.
"Uh-huh."
Carly nodded repeatedly and continued to whisper: "Kid's target seems to be the blue gem our company is currently researching.
But I have never seen the notice letter. I heard that it was quietly put away by the boss.
Although the boss has always asked us to keep this matter secret and not allow us to discuss it, in fact it has been spread within the company for a long time, and every employee in the company knows..."
[You tell us something that needs to be kept secret so easily? 】
Conan complained silently in his mind.
Miss Carly, your boss will be happy to have such an excellent employee like you.
But then again, is this company even involving Kidd?
Whether true or false, this is enough to prove that this El Pharmaceutical is indeed not as ordinary as it seems on the surface...
Several people chatted all the way to the El Pharmaceutical Company building on the hillside.
Although they said that, in fact, they were basically listening to Carly talking endlessly about the gossip among colleagues in the company, some gossips and scandals that had no nutrition at all except to attract attention.
As Carly said before, today is a holiday for El Pharmaceutical. Most of the employees in the company are not here, and only a handful of employees are left.
After registering at the security booth at the gate, the Maori people followed Carly towards the company building.
"But, although today is a company holiday, our boss is actually still here!" Walking in front, Carly said with high spirits.
"Huh? Mr. President, doesn't he have a holiday?" Mao Lilan asked curiously after hearing this.
"No, our boss is a strict self-discipline. He comes earlier than us every day and leaves later than us. He rarely even gives himself a few days off. He is simply a workaholic!
There isn’t much work in our company to begin with, but the boss is still working so hard, which makes us often don’t have much to do in the company, which is really distressing..."
[So what is the purpose of your boss hiring you? Accompanying the class? 】
Looking at Carly with a happy face, Conan kept complaining in his heart.
He roughly understood that this Miss Carly was a pure-minded social terrorist who was good at talking and had a pure mind. It was basically impossible to get any valuable information from such a person. There is only gossip.
It's better to find a way to send her away first, otherwise if she really follows her around, Conan estimates that they won't be able to ask anything useful by then and will have to be sent away.
"Ah, Hanazawa!"
Just as Conan was thinking this, several people walked into the El Pharmaceutical company building, and Carly quickly walked towards a young woman behind the front desk.
The young woman was very beautiful and well-dressed. She was lying on the front desk in a daze. After hearing Carly's voice, she came back to her senses and looked at a few people curiously.
"Carly, are they the guests who are coming to visit today?"
"That's right."
Carly nodded, then leaned into the ear of the woman named Huazawa. After the two exchanged a few words in a low voice, Carly suddenly turned around.
"Then it's up to you! Yoko!"
"Wait, stand still..."
After saying these words, Carly nimbly dodged Hanazawa Yoko's attempt to hold her hand and ran away.
"……This guy!"
Sighing helplessly, Hanazawa Yoko looked at the confused Maori people and replied apologetically:
"Sorry, Carly is in a hurry suddenly. If you don't mind, can I come and show you around?"
[A sudden emergency? 】
Conan frowned when he heard this, but before he could think about it, Mouri Kogoro nodded quickly and said with a smile: "No problem at all! What do you call Miss?"
"Yoko Hanazawa, just call me Hanazawa. You are the one who said you would come to visit before, named Maori..."
"My dear, Mouri Kogoro!"
"Yes, that's the one called Maori or something..."
"It's Maori Kogoro." Mao Lilan smiled and couldn't help but remind him.
Why does she feel like the employees in this company seem a little strange?
"That's right, that's what Kogoro is... eh?"
As if he finally reacted, Hanazawa Yoko looked at Mouri Kogoro in front of him in surprise and asked:
"Are you the famous Maori detective?"
"That's right." Mouri Kogoro nodded lightly.
"I see..." His expression changed instantly. Hanazawa Yoko looked at her doubtfully and asked, "Mr. Mori is here to handle the case today?"
"Huh? Well... that's right."
"Is it about Kaitou Kidd?" Hanazawa Yoko asked.
"Kidd?"
After Carly, the three heard this name from Hanazawa Yoko again.
"Hey, Sister Yoko, I heard that Kidd placed a notice in your company, is that true?" Conan suddenly spoke, with a cute tone.
"It seems that there is indeed such a thing..." Hanazawa Yoko heard this and nodded with some uncertainty.
"like?"
"Because none of us have seen the notice letter. It is said that it was put away by the president...I don't know for sure, but that's what everyone in the company said.
So, did Mr. Mori come today to investigate Kidd? "
"Of course, a tricky thief like Kidd needs the help of a famous detective like me."
With a calm smile of a middle-aged man, Mouri Kogoro nodded lightly.
"Sure enough!" When Hanazawa Yoko heard this, he became excited on the spot, nodded quickly and said:
"I know it! A troublesome person like Kidd, who is intelligent, handsome, and charming, needs a famous detective like you to take action!"
"Haha, Miss Hanazawa deserves the award..." Although it felt like something was wrong, Mouri Kogoro still smiled happily.
"No matter what, I'm telling the truth~"
He also laughed together, "Yoko Hanazawa"...or rather, Kaito Kuroba glanced at Conan beside Mao Lilan.
[Are you even here? This company...is really special. 】
