It was only around ten o'clock in the evening when the two of them returned to the Maori Detective Agency.
Maori Lan had just changed into her pajamas and was standing at the door of the bathroom waiting for Conan to wash up. She was a little surprised to find Maori Kogoro and Chi Fei coming in late, "Dad, are you back? Is it so early today?"
In the bathroom, Conan poked his head curiously.
Although Uncle Maoli had said in advance that if he had to go out tonight, he would ask Shang Chi Feichi to go with him, and he repeatedly promised not to drink too much, but it was strange that he really didn't drink too much.
When did uncle become so restrained?
"Yes." Mouri Kogoro was not very energetic. After entering the door, he took off his coat and put it on the cabinet at the door.
"I said..." Mao Lilan stared at the light red marks on the sleeves of Maori Kogoro's shirt, with her hands on her hips, her gaze gradually becoming dangerous. She suspected that it was a lipstick mark, "Dad, you won't bring Brother Fei Chi again." Were you going to some shady restaurant to drink?
Conan laughed inwardly.
That's right, the uncle has a criminal record. He has never seen such a teacher. He only takes his apprentices to drink and visit custom shops. Will he also have to play mahjong, bet on horses, and play small steel balls in the future?
"No, very serious."
Chi Feichi helped Maori Kogoro make a statement.
Those with a business license must be serious.
"Yes, what are you thinking about?" Mouri Kogoro raised his hand and looked at his sleeves, his face pretending to be calm, "We just went to see an opera performance, I guess this happened accidentally sometime. "
(╥﹏╥)
That's right, they went to a custom shop, and instead of spending an hour drinking and chatting with him, they actually watched an opera performance, which made him sober and become a Buddhist.
What kind of suffering is this in the world...
"Really?" Maori Lan looked at Maori Kogoro doubtfully, "You will also go to opera performances?"
Mouri Kogoro said unconvinced, "Why can't I go to the opera?"
"But uncle's mood doesn't seem to be very high." Conan couldn't judge the situation.
He didn't believe that the uncle would go to the opera, but looking at the uncle like this, it didn't look like he had just come back from some shady shop. If he went to those shops... let alone those shops, even if it was an ordinary izakaya, the uncle would have to be drunk to a complete mess. go home.
Mouri Kogoro resented for a second, "How can I be happy about a tragedy like Madama Butterfly where the protagonist commits suicide in the end?"
Conan and Maori Lan immediately believed it - Maori Kogoro had really gone to the opera.
"Then I'll go back," Chi Feichi said goodbye. "The taxi is still waiting below."
Mouri Kogoro suddenly remembered something, "Fei Chi, I'll give you one as a gift..."
Mao Lilan watched the two of them go back out, and couldn't help laughing, "Brother Fei Chi sent Dad upstairs, and Dad sent Brother Fei Chi downstairs. These two people are really...but their master-disciple relationship is really good, right?" Right, Conan?"
"Yeah!" Conan looked up and smiled cutely at Mao Lilan.
Outside, when Kogoro Maori walked to the stairs, he approached Chi Feichi with a dark face and lowered his voice to remind him, "When I take you to Okinawa, don't ruin the atmosphere like tonight, otherwise I won't I’ll take you with me!”
Chi Feichi nodded calmly to show that he understood, "Then listen to "The Barber of Seville" next time."
Maori Kogoro:"……"
How should he explain to his apprentice that the club really cannot be used as an opera house...
"It's a comedy."
Chi Feichi added, opened the back seat door of the taxi, and got in.
Mouri Kogoro watched the taxi leave, continuing to be messy in the wind.
Is this a tragicomic problem? no!
No matter how talented the girl is, she is not a professional opera singer. She just drinks and chats with her. She actually lures her to sing an opera for half a day with tips. Is this something that a person can do?
A group of people went to the club happily. They were supposed to be joking, talking, drinking, and relaxing with beautiful girls. In the end, he listened to the opera for a long time. He actually planned to listen to the opera next time. As soon as they opened the box, they heard What comes out is a high-pitched bel canto soprano. Is this something that humans can do?
…
At eleven o'clock at night, the taxi stopped in front of the apartment.
Chi Fei paid his fare late and got off the bus. When he entered the building, he took the items from the mailbox and delivery locker on the first floor. After returning home, he used the sink to give Fei Chi a bath, and he also put a tank of water in for a bath.
When Mouri Kogoro was chatting with a girl tonight, he paid attention to the conversation. The two talked about the Cold Butterfly Club.
The Cold Butterfly Club is now very famous in the nightclub circle, and people who frequent nightclubs also hang out in places like horse racing. It is not surprising that Kogoro Maori has heard of it.
At that time, Mouri Kogoro hugged the girl, drank heavily, and laughed and said: "Isn't that a club composed of many beauties?" I want to work as a detective consultant for them. If they encounter idiots or harassment, I can help them solve it! '
As an old man, saying such things while dishonestly taking advantage of other girls is very unseemly.
The girl didn't care. She smiled and patted Mouri Kogoro's chest, telling Mouri Kogoro not to look down on women. Women who unite are strong.
Mouri Kogoro immediately asked him what he was good at with a silly face, and then the topic slowly changed and developed in the direction of flirting.
He still couldn't figure out whether Mouri Kogoro was casually chatting or whether he was deliberately trying to find out the information. After all, Mouri Kogoro was once a member of the police and now a detective. According to his style, he would definitely call Mumu Shisan to find out the situation. Mumu Shisan is not in a position to reveal too much about the case, but it is still possible that the groups that will have friction with Shuanghe in the near future are the Yamaguchi Group and Handie Society.
Mouri Kogoro knew that the Cold Butterfly Society was on the list of suspects in the Shuanghe Conference incident, and the probability was more than 90%. So, even if he did not deliberately help to find out the information, he would probably tell the police or investigate on his own after learning some information.
And tonight, the information that Mouri Kogoro got is that the Cold Butterfly Club is dominated by female members, and the president is called Mrs. Cold Butterfly, who was once the daughter of the president of a big gang. The Cold Butterfly Club was established this year but has developed very quickly. The things we usually deal with are a bit like the Women's Federation. This is official news and you can understand it through chatting.
As for the news in the dark, there is also...
First, it is not easy for men to join. If it is easy for a man to join, the girl will joke and let him try, instead of avoiding the problem of denying the possibility of embarrassing the guest, saying that women are not weak in teaming up.
Second, Handie Club has a good reputation among nightclub women. The girl who was chatting with Mouri Kogoro was not a member of the Cold Butterfly Club. The reason for not joining was that her parents did not like violent clubs and were worried about being angry and sad if her family found out. However, the girl herself also yearned for and respected the Cold Butterfly Club when she mentioned it. In fact, I am also considering joining.
I don't rule out that this is a personal opinion, but it also shows that Handie will not be annoying to women in nightclubs, and there is still a lot of room for development.
Third, the Cold Butterfly Association is not simply a 'women's rights protection women's federation'. There are likely to be women who are 'thugs' within the association, or they may have close relationships with large organizations such as the Yamaguchi-gumi. Because there is a message in the girl's words - in the face of harassment, Handie will not need help from others.
In fact, there are indeed 'thugs' within the Cold Butterfly Society. Its members include not only women in the custom industry and female students who have no strength to tie a chicken, but also serious female lawyers, female kendo masters, and female shooting enthusiasts. By.
It is normal for a violent society to have 'violent' people within it, otherwise it would not be called a 'violent society', but knowing these, you can determine the nature of the Cold Butterfly Society - it is not a women's group. Forming a caring and mutual-help group is different from the Women's Federation. After peeling off the gentle shell that can easily confuse people, it is still a violent society.
Regardless of whether he was prying intentionally or not, his teacher had access to a lot of information.
Racetracks, game arcades with small steel balls and mostly adult men, izakayas, bars and clubs...
"Master, I've finished washing," Fei Chi's voice came from outside the frosted glass door, "I'm going to help you look at the letters and the recently sent things~!"
Chi Feichi said 'hmm', and stopped thinking about Maori Kogoro, and instead thought about his own problems.
Faced with the deaths of those in the Shuanghe Society, he was not touched at all.
He had seen a lot of death in his previous life, and with the addition of "dance", he really couldn't have any sympathy for those who were unfamiliar with or had no connection with him.
For example, for the victim in some cases, at a certain moment, he looked at the corpse as if he were looking at a paper man, and looked at the busy people around him as if he were watching frames from Detective Comics.
How did this make him feel?
He had no way of knowing on his own what month and day tomorrow would be. In his memory, the spring, summer, autumn, and winter of this world were passing by in turns and even chaotically, but time had not yet passed this year or even half a year. In addition, he had something that no one else had. Strange ability to predict the development of cases in advance...
These seem to make it more difficult for him to integrate into the world, as if there is a certain existence that has been hinting to him: You see, they are all paper people, you come from a higher dimension than them, you have abilities they cannot imagine, You predict part of their fate. Life and death are just reincarnation, and everything in the world is illusory...
This idea is dangerous.
He didn't want to face the life and death of his relatives one day, and he could calmly say, "Ashes will return to ashes, dust will return to dust."
Fortunately, the situation is not particularly bad.
He may feel that his mind is "jumping into the drama", which means that he is sometimes "into the drama".
With the contact, the people around him became more and more vivid, and he seemed to separate these people from other human beings in this world and put them into the category of 'same kind'.
Animals are better, because he was a 'human' in his previous life, and animals are 'animals'. He himself is different from animals, and he doesn't understand them well enough. Therefore, in addition to being able to communicate, animals in this world and animals in other worlds There seems to be no difference in the positive buffs such as 'more friendly' in his eyes, and he rarely skips scenes...
But here comes the problem again.
Even when facing acquaintances, he would occasionally act out.
For example, he thought about blocking Conan in a small corner and shooting several holes in Conan's body to see what the dead detective looked like.
This kind of mentality must not be discovered by Fukuyama Shiaki, nor by anyone who may be nosy, otherwise he is likely to be sent to the hospital for examination, and then admitted to the hospital for treatment, monitored through a small window, and placed in an empty room. Sleep inside and take medicine every day...
This is as difficult to 'cure' as problems such as hearing animals and plants talking, or being confused about time. It will most likely take a lifetime, which is simply a nightmare.
Therefore, he had to hide, just like when Belmode was still pretending to be Tomaki Shinde, before the bus was hijacked by gangsters and exploded, he threw the unconscious gangster off the bus, regardless of whether he was killed or not. , take the opportunity to cover it up if you have the chance.
