"Well, Ye Gengyi."
Ye Gengyi nodded slightly, assuming that the two parties were conducting a new round of self-introduction. After speaking, he continued to ask: "Have you been studying with Mr. Maoli these days?"
A very common inquiry.
Except that the other party still didn't call me by my name...
After Toru Amuro felt a little complicated, he also used the excuse he had prepared a long time ago and explained: "I am still working part-time at the Poirot Coffee Shop downstairs. I just work until noon today, so I plan to come to see Maori. The teacher was learning some reasoning skills, but I didn’t expect to encounter a murder case.”
His words aroused the curiosity of those on the sidelines.
The latter said softly and asked:
"I remember, didn't you work in the store where you were involved in a previous case?"
"I have quit my job there," Toru Amuro said with a faint smile on his face, and in a sincere tone: "Because I made up my mind to become my teacher, Teacher Mori, so I went downstairs to the office. Working part-time at Café Poirot.”
Hiding one's true purpose behind another's true behavior, it can be said that unless he takes the initiative to expose it, it will be difficult to find flaws in it.
Mouri Kogoro also took over the conversation. He seemed to be trying to appear old-fashioned, but he still couldn't hide his complacency and said:
"Originally, I had no intention of taking on a disciple, but this boy has been begging me for a long time. I thought that the title of famous detective would need to be inherited by young people in the future, so I agreed."
Conan said in a low voice: "It's obviously just for the apprenticeship fee..."
"oh?"
Ye Gengyi looked down: "What should I say?"
"It seems... Brother Amuro will pay his uncle a tuition fee every time he accompanies him to handle a case." Conan looked innocent.
It was not that he had to keep his servant from coming to the stage, but Megure Thirteen mentioned the restaurant where Amuro Toru worked last time. He was worried that if the two sides continued to chat, they would probably talk about Kamon Hatsune's suicide case again. In this way, , it is better to change the topic back to apprenticeship.
"Ahem..."
Mouri Kogoro was a little embarrassed and defended: "I was just testing his character and perseverance."
Mumu Shisan shook his head and did not dwell too much on this issue.
Anyway, no matter how the process went, he only felt that more and more detectives were gathering around Brother Maori.
Ye Gengyi continued to look at Toru Amuro and asked: "You have to maintain your job as a detective, work in a store, and pay Mr. Mori's apprenticeship fee. Isn't life very difficult?"
"I still have some personal wealth."
Toru Amuro didn't panic at all, and explained with a smile: "Actually, working in restaurants and cafes is also to be able to interact with all kinds of people, so as to improve my observation and reasoning skills."
This explanation makes sense.
On the side, Conan nodded slightly.
Because a long time ago, when he was learning Sherlock Holmes' deduction method, he had done something similar.
Ye Gengyi also got the answer through a simple conversation... Sure enough, the previous encounter was not a coincidence. Bourbon's contact with Mouri Kogoro was premeditated.
At this time, Kenzuka Kei, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa and looking up at the conversation, couldn't help but ask:
"Um...can I go back?"
She found that ever since the young man in black clothes appeared, she had become a marginalized figure inexplicably.
Megure Thirteen was startled, and realized that a few people had indeed ignored the 'person involved', and quickly said: "I'm sorry, Miss Keizuka Kei, because there are still some things that I need to know from you, so I may ask you to be here. Wait a moment."
"Okay..." Kenzuka Kei responded, then silently lowered his head and began to cry.
Maybe this is how the police handle cases, and they must not reveal any flaws... She thought this as a first-time criminal.
"Um, Miss Keizuka Kei."
Mumu Shisan simply asked directly: "Are you still not impressed by the man who kidnapped you? Since the target is the key that your brother left behind during his lifetime, is he your brother's friend?"
"No..." Kenzuka Kei shook his head and said with a choked voice: "I don't recognize him. In fact, I rarely see my brother's friends..."
"That's it..." Mumu Shisan sighed with a headache.
In fact, he probably expected such a result, otherwise the two of them would have identified each other long ago after being in contact with each other for so long in the bathroom on the second floor of the office.
It's just... I obviously stopped crying when I asked to go back, but now I started crying again just a few seconds ago?
Mumu Shisan simply interpreted the behavior of the person involved to mean that he had just experienced life and death and was emotionally unstable.
But this reaction was full of suspicion in the eyes of Ye Gengyi, Amuro Toru and Conan.
There is something wrong with this suicide.
Thinking back on the process...
A criminal who can plan to deceive the "famous detective's family" into leaving the office through email must have accurately grasped the time when the client will visit.
But what did he do?
Just pretending to be a detective's assistant to deceive the other party into getting the so-called key, not any other information?
His level of stupidity is not even as good as masked robbery.
Because that way, whether things are successful or not, their original appearance will not be exposed.
Toru Amuro looked at everyone and found that none of the people present...whether they were criminal police officers, famous detectives, or experts from the Technical Association who had not called his name since they came to visit, seemed to have no plan for further investigation.
I had no choice but to do it myself...
When putting coffee on, he walked to one side of the coffee table and noticed that it was difficult to squeeze past a group of people standing in front of the coffee table, so Toru Amuro walked around to the right side of the sofa and asked proactively:
"Miss Kei Tsuka, how did your brother pass away?"
"..."
As if he didn't hear it, Kenzuka Kei was lowering his head and twirling his fingers.
Um?
Toru Amuro was startled, raised his voice, and asked again:
"Excuse me, how did your brother pass away?"
"Ah... yes, he died in an accident four days ago." Keizuka Kei was startled. He quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, lit up the screen, and showed the standby interface to Toru Amuro: "This person is mine. elder brother……"
What I saw above was a photo of a man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a three-quarter haircut and Kei Tsutsuka.
"Speaking of cell phones, we found this from the man who committed suicide in the bathroom..."
Mumu Shisan took out the evidence bag containing the mobile phone and said:
"Although there is an email in the call record that he pretended to be Ms. Kei Tsukasa and sent an email to Brother Mori to change the meeting place, but other than that, there is no other record..."
