"Hello, Mr. Mouri, my name is Okamura Saki, just call me Xiaosaki," Okamura Saki responded to Mouri Kogoro with a smile, and then greeted Chi Feichi, "Mr. Chi, I just came from the regional center I came back after dinner and the store hasn’t been packed up yet. Please don’t mind. Please take everyone to sit down first. My house is in the back and I still have beer at home. If you don’t mind..."
Mouri Kogoro sat down at the bar with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to say, "I definitely don't mind," he was interrupted by a cold young male voice next to him.
"I'm sorry, my teacher drinks a lot recently," Chi Feichi directly rejected Okamura Saki's proposal, "For his health, he can't drink anymore."
Mouri Kogoro suddenly turned into an unhappy face, "Hey, Fei Chi, it's so early now, the kiddies haven't gathered yet, let's have a few drinks to kill the time..."
"I promised Xiaolan," Chi Feichi turned to look directly at Maori Kogoro and said calmly, "If you can't resist the temptation of wine, I will consider taking you to the regional center and patrol in advance, so that At least it will keep you away from temptation.”
Automatic translation in Mouri Kogoro's mind: If you insist on drinking, I will take you away. Not only will there be no wine, but you will not even be able to see beautiful women!
"Since Mr. Mori is not suitable for drinking recently, of course, Mr. Mori's health must be taken into consideration, so I will prepare other drinks for you," Okamura Saki said with an apologetic and helpless smile, "It's all my fault and I don't understand the situation. Just making random suggestions, my parents often say that I am too reckless sometimes, but I just can’t change it, I’m really sorry, everyone!”
"Where," Mouri Kogoro quickly put on a serious expression and looked at Okamura Saki and said, "Miss Kosaki is so lively, cute and considerate, what shortcomings do you need to change? Those who want to change should be those who feel that small Those who are not good to Ms. Saki are the ones who need to change their minds!"
Chi Feichi successfully retreated to the second line. Seeing that it was inconvenient for Conan to climb the chair, he reached out to help Conan hold the chair.
Bringing his Maori teacher here was indeed the right choice.
Now not only did he not have to speak, but Amuro was so crowded that he didn't even have a chance to introduce himself.
"Mr. Mori, you are really flattering," Okamura Saki was amused and rolled his eyes, "I am not as good as you, but I am really happy to be praised by a famous detective like you! "
"Ah haha..." Mouri Kogoro was proud in his heart and smiled from ear to ear, "I heard Fei Chi say that you are interested in stories about detectives solving crimes and want to hear about interesting events, right? You've found the right person for me. A detective like me has experienced countless interesting events. It doesn't matter what you want to hear!"
Conan: "..."
Hey, hey, is it too much for Uncle Kogoro to praise this kind of Haikou?
He didn't even dare to say that he had experienced countless interesting events, let alone Uncle Kogoro, who was asleep during the whole process of solving the case. It would be very embarrassing if he hesitated and couldn't talk about many cases!
"In that moment, please tell me about those cases. I really admire smart people like you!" Saki Okamura put the menu on the table with a smile, "But now, please order something first. Today I'll entertain you all for free tonight, whether it's food or drink, anything is fine..."
Mouri Kogoro said embarrassedly, "How can I be embarrassed to make a cute girl like you spend money?"
"This coffee shop is run by my family. It's our biggest gain that celebrities like you can come and patronize it," Okamura Saki said with a smile, "And I'm the one inviting you all this time, so please don't be polite to me. Got it!"
"Okay, then I will bring my friends to take care of the business here next time," Mouri Kogoro took the menu and lowered his head to study the menu, "As for tonight, let me see..."
Okamura Saki did not urge Mouri Kogoro. He looked up and saw Toru Amuro. Then he realized that he had not even said hello to Toru Amuro. He looked at Toru Amuro with an apologetic look and said, "Ah, I'm really sorry. I couldn't talk to Mr. Mouri." I was so involved that I forgot to say hello to you and little brother Conan, I'm really sorry..."
"It's okay," Toru Amuro responded with a sunny smile, "I am Mr. Mori's second apprentice, my name is Toru Amuro. Tonight I heard that the teacher and consultant... Mr. Chi is going to investigate the flower garden destruction incident, and I want to follow him. Take a look, so I followed you here first. I came here to disturb you without saying hello in advance. I should be the one to say sorry."
Mouri Kogoro and Amuro Toru took turns greeting Okamura Saki, and Okamura Saki accepted them all enthusiastically.
After the four detectives ordered drinks, Okamura Saki stopped talking and turned around to prepare coffee and drinks for the four of them.
Mouri Kogoro looked at Okamura Saki's busy back, and whispered intoxicatedly, "She is such a cute and virtuous girl..."
"Yes," Toru Amuro leaned close to Mouri Kogoro's ear and whispered in a nonchalant tone, "but it's really dangerous. The consultant didn't know that I was free tonight, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered me. If you come here, you won't be able to see such a lovely girl."
Mouri Kogoro thought of what Chi Feichi said before, and the intoxicated look on his face quickly disappeared. He no longer concealed his speaking volume, and said seriously, "You have not experienced as many interesting events as I have. Miss Kosaki wants to hear interesting things." Regarding the incident, it is obviously better to call me..."
As he spoke, Maori Kogoro glanced at his eldest apprentice and saw Chi Feichi sitting with his head down playing with his mobile phone, seemingly not listening to his words at all. He frowned and continued, "And you are going to catch the flower garden destroyer tonight. , that guy actually destroyed the flower garden that the child had worked so hard to build. He is probably a villain with a dark psychology, and he may have done more bad things than this..."
Chi Feichi looked away from the phone screen and turned to look at Mouri Kogoro.
Speaking of this, he still felt a little regretful, he just didn't quite remember this incident.
Just looking at the rhythm of the events, this time it is very similar to the events in the original plot.
Now his teacher has come up with an interesting perspective - the person who destroyed the flower garden destroyed the flower garden for three consecutive days and avoided leaving obvious footprints on the scene. It couldn't be a coincidence, but it was intentional. So, what did that person do? What's the motivation? The garden vandal is most likely an internal employee of the district center. What reason would the employee have to destroy the garden that was built with everyone?
Conan also turned to look at Mouri Kogoro and started thinking.
It is difficult to determine whether the prisoner has a dark psychology, but Uncle Kogoro is right. The prisoner may have wanted to do, or have done, more than just destroy the flower garden.
He can first imagine the possible motives of the prisoner. For example, the prisoner took the opportunity to dig up a batch of jewelry of unknown origin or bury it underground...
Seeing that his two apprentices and Conan were looking at him and listening to him attentively, Maori Kogoro showed a proud smile, "The person you are investigating this time may be dangerous. Without me, you may not be able to handle it, so Tell me, if something like this happens in the future, you must call me, a famous detective, to help suppress the battle! You are all too young. Sometimes things are not as simple as they seem. Take this incident as an example. Look, this is just a prank to destroy the flower garden, but it may actually involve murder!"
Conan looked away, laughing inwardly.
It's hard to connect something like destroying a flower garden with the murder, right?
Even if they are killing people and burying corpses, prisoners will not choose a garden where the soil is not too thick, where residents will come to see it at any time, and where children will dig up the soil to plant flowers after a while.
Corpses are different from things like gems. Even the corpse of a child requires a lot of space to bury. It is too easy to be found buried in a flower bed like that.
Could it be a killing drill? It is possible, for example, by destroying the flower garden, asking the person you want to kill to go to a designated location, and then using objects dropped from high altitude to kill the person.
But he just felt that it was a bit too exaggerated to associate the destruction of the flower garden with murder. It was obviously more likely that the criminal was hiding or looking for something...
"Snapped!"
A cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Chi Feichi, Toru Amuro, and Conan immediately followed the sound and looked at Okamura Saki, who had his back turned to them. Even Mouri Kogoro looked at him with puzzled eyes.
"H-I'm sorry, I didn't hold the cup firmly," Okamura Saki stood in front of the operating table, turned to smile apologetically at the four people, with a trace of fear still on his face, "But what Mr. Mori said is true. Is that so? The people who destroyed the flower beds are bad guys with a dark psychology, and some people may die..."
"Well, this is just a possibility that I speculated!" Mouri Kogoro quickly smiled and reassured, "Miss Kosaki, you don't have to worry, even if the other person is a murderer with a dark psychology, I will protect you! With my famous detective Mouri Kogoro here, there is absolute safety here!"
Chi Feichi: "..."
Is his teacher setting up flags randomly again?
"That's right. There is a famous detective and the famous detective's apprentice here. It should be very safe here." Okamura Saki smiled and knelt down to collect the broken glass fragments on the ground. "Can you please wait a moment, juice and The coffee will be ready soon.”
Toru Amuro looked away, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, clicked the screen a few times, and started typing on the mobile phone.
After a while, the phone in Chi Feichi's hand vibrated.
Conan, who was sitting next to Chi Feichi, noticed the two people's movements, reached out and hugged Chi Feichi's right arm, and tried to look at Chi Feichi's mobile phone screen.
Chi Feichi glanced at Conan without avoiding Conan. After reading the new messages on the UL chat page, he typed a reply.
On the chat page, there was a long message from the other side: [Consultant, are you trying to test Miss Okamura by yourself, asking the children to go there in advance, and secretly install video recorders and early warning devices? As I said before, if the prisoner is an employee of the regional center, then the prisoner already knows that you plan to install cameras and early warning devices at night, and may not do it again. However, the prisoner may also be forced to do it in advance. If you let those children set up warning devices and cameras in advance, they might be able to find the culprit directly. 】
