Chapter 57 Long live leaving get off work early!

"My school?"

Geto Suguru, who was working part-time at Polo Cafe, placed the freshly squeezed juice on the table in front of Conan Edogawa, wiped the condensation off his hands with a towel, and said curiously.

"Why are you suddenly curious about my school?"

Conan Edogawa raised his head, trying to achieve his goal with a child's hopeful gaze. "I was looking for Takeru-nii's novels online, and a few days ago I happened to come across a guy named Haibara who said he went to the same school as Takeru-nii. So I was curious and searched the entire school, and ended up finding news about Takeru-nii saving people. Takeru-nii is an amazing hero who saved lives, so your school must be amazing too! I want to know what Takeru-nii's school looks like, but I can't find anything online."

"Haihara Yu? He's my junior in the next class." With all the experience of parenting, Geto Suguru lied to the child without hesitation. "Can't find anything? That's true. After all, our school is quite remote, and the board of directors is quite stingy."

Edogawa Conan said regretfully: "Ah - what a pity. Such a stingy school, was Brother Takeru bullied when he was in school?"

The former and now retired principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High School would burst into tears if he heard this.

The school bullied Geto Suguru? It's good enough that Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru didn't bully the school! Do you know how many times the school hired a construction team to repair damaged buildings during their time there?

The school building was 70% new before Geto Suguru enrolled, and it was brand new when he left, because on the day of his graduation, he and Gojo Satoru celebrated by using magic to set off a "big firework".

Xia Yujie: "No, even though our school is stingy, we are generous with our students' educational resources. We have a lot of extracurricular activities. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to that place in the first place, and I wouldn't have happened to meet someone who needed help."

Edogawa Conan: "What happened to those two sisters? Are they doing well?"

Xia Yujie's tone and eyes softened as he recalled the little things he had experienced over the years: "Later, they were adopted by my teacher. They often came to school to play and are now living a good life."

Edogawa Conan followed up the topic and said, "Those two sisters won't be very bored. Their brother is a middle school student, right? They don't have any friends to play with."

"No, there are other kids of the same age coming to play at our school on weekends."

Geto Suguru thought to himself that if I hadn't seen them quarreling with Shinji Zenin over the saying "We are best sisters" and crying until they dragged their sisters around the high school to find someone to judge the matter, I would really think this suggestion made sense.

This may be the reason why Mimiko, Nanako and Mayi do not want to continue studying at Tokyo Technical High School. After all, all the teachers have seen their childhood dark history live, and the three of them are relatively thin-skinned.

Children grow up so fast...

Xia Yujie expressed the sighs of countless parents in his heart.

The rebellious phase came so quickly... But Maki Mayi's rebellious phase was at most just rolling her tongue and talking back to him, and she would call him at least twice a week. In terms of rebelliousness, it was still not as rebellious as I was back then.

After years of parenting, Geto Suguru's deepest feeling is: the reason why he and Gojo Satoru were not beaten to death by the teachers and parents was because they both had high fighting power.

Edogawa Conan got goosebumps all over his arms.

Why does Geto Suguru's expression at this moment look so much like his mother who is immersed in memories of her youth and her son's childhood?

The information clearly states that Geto Suguru is single and childless. Doesn't he have any younger brothers or sisters?

Dr. Agasa, who accompanied Conan to Polo Cafe to eat but actually to gather information, said: "Oh, Geto-kun, is your school open to the public?"

"No, our school has strict management. Only students and teachers can enter. Not even parents can enter. Those children's guardians work in the school, so they can play on the campus."

Well... being a student can also be considered a kind of job. After all, all the students at the Jujutsu High School have to work.

Dr. Agasa: "Oh, I've heard of this. I heard that some schools have introduced such recognition machines, which can only allow people with facial recognition or special door cards to enter, which can better protect the safety of teachers and students in school."

Conan Edogawa: "Wow—what amazing technology!"

Geto Xia Yu: "It's just so-so. Actually, I haven't seen it either. After all, technology wasn't that advanced when I was in school."

In fact, Tokyo Jutsu High School does not have this kind of technology. We use a Jutsu barrier.

Two of the three people came to perform with a purpose. They said this to get some information from Geto Suguru. The previous chat was mainly to lower Geto Suguru's vigilance.

Seeing that the time had come, Dr. Agasa asked in a casual tone, "Geto-kun's school has such complete and advanced facilities, and the teaching and working environment sounds very comfortable. So, what is your school's most famous major?"

It was perfectly normal for a high-ranking intellectual like Dr. Agasa to ask about the school, but Geto didn't know how to respond. He could only feign embarrassment and laugh it off, changing the subject: "We don't have any particularly outstanding majors, otherwise you would have surely found our outstanding students online long ago."

This is the opportunity Edogawa Conan has been waiting for!

"But Haibara-nii is really talented, isn't he? A few days ago, we saw him at an auction as the agent for a famous painter. He also knows another amazing sister. That sister is also a writer like Takeru-nii, her name is Umekawa Kuko. Have you heard of her, Takeru-nii?"

Cheng Xiaoyu and Huihara had never told Geto Suguru about the random pseudonym [Umekawa Kuko] before. In addition, Huihara Yu had indeed had dealings with many literary and artistic workers in recent years because of Yushiro, so he really thought it was some writer at first, but he couldn't immediately say that he had never heard of it.

Who made his identity as a writer fake? The person who could attend the auction was definitely not an ordinary person. This [Umekawa Kuko] was probably very famous in the industry. Wouldn't it be a revelation if he said directly that he had never heard of him?

Xia Yujie thought for a moment and realized he really didn't know who it was. "I have some impression of him. Do you have a more precise description?"

Little did he know that this answer and expression were information in the eyes of Edogawa Conan.

According to Shuichi Akai's information, Geto Suguru obviously knew [Kuroko Umekawa]. He could even sit at the same table with her and have dinner and chat happily. This proves that [Kuroko Umekawa] is a complete pseudonym, and what Geto Suguru knows is most likely this person's real name or more detailed information.

Edogawa Conan pretended to think for a moment: "Brother Haibara said that Sister Umekawa's pen name is [Katsura Sakura]."

Xia Yujie thought about it a few times and understood.

Ghost, huh? Old acquaintance!

[Katsuura] must be the "homophonic pseudonym that Huihara Yu mentioned before, which he thought of when facing the police's questioning." Then [Umekawa Kuko] must be the pseudonym that Oniying came up with himself.

Why didn't you say you were a painter back then, Huiyuan?! You insisted on giving me a name that has the same profession as mine. How can I say that to others?

Xia Yujie could only make up a story on the spot: "Ah, I know who she is when you say [Katsura Sakura], but I haven't read her books, and her books are not really to my taste."

Conan Edogawa then realized that Geto Suguru was lying.

Because at the beginning, Haibara Yu said that [Katsuura] was a [painter]. They had such a good relationship that they drank and talked happily about things that happened ten years ago. It was impossible that he would get the other person's profession wrong, right?

Moreover, [Katsurayaki] is either the real name of [Umekawa Kuko], or it is related to her real name and is most likely a homophone, or it has some connection with that woman's code name, otherwise Geto Suguru would not react immediately when he heard the name.

No matter which one it is, the trip was very rewarding.

Now Geto Suguru himself is also a suspect. Originally, Conan Edogawa and others thought that Geto Suguru was just a sorcerer on vacation who loved writing and was collecting materials at the Mori Detective Agency, but now Geto Suguru's reaction clearly proves that he has no knowledge of Japanese literary works.

Then the motive behind Geto Suguru's appearance at the Mori Detective Agency is very intriguing.

Yu Haibara is also a suspect. Not to mention that the three of them were sitting at the same table and had a good relationship. It was obvious that he was cooperating with [Kouko Umekawa] at the scene. Judging from Geto Suguru's testimony, he definitely concealed important information from the police.

For many years, he has been frequently in contact with celebrities from all walks of life through his identity as assistant and client of the famous painter "Yamamoto Goshiro" who is unable to go out due to illness. Information shows that he even has close ties with the secluded family "Ubuyashiki". It is too easy for him to get whatever he wants.

Even if Haibara Yu and Geto Suguru are from a special department whose names cannot be revealed, there are a lot of red side undercover agents from various countries mixed in with the core cadres of the organization. Why is it impossible for there to be undercover agents from the winery mixed in with their red side department, or simply defect to become black side undercover agents?

......

On a certain mountain in Beika Town, white mist was surging among the lush green leaves of the trees.

High-dimensional creature No. 2: What the hell is going on in Tokyo?

Oh, it "sounds" like that guy is going crazy because a "character" has lost control.

Since that's the case, then He will give this kid named Geto some golden medal of immunity from death, just to make you, the wicked guy who stabs others in the back, mad to death.

Look at Him pouring some [柯南の疑]...and pouring a little more.

Anyway, the red team will not shoot or arrest anyone at will. Even if they do, Geto Suguru's special sorcerer strength will only make him a little annoying at best, but his life will be even tougher!

It is very profitable to lock your own health at the cost of turning the green-named NPC around you into a red one. If this kind of thing happens in the game, it will be said to destroy the balance of the game.

Now that the buff has been added, let’s also give some red team suspicion value to the guy named Huiyuan who was accidentally injured by him before.

As for that little girl outside… Anyway, these ordinary people running out there pose no threat to her, so just fill up the red and black suspicion values! Fill them all up! See how He fills them up reasonably!

Given the girl's own fighting power, even if these ordinary humans attacked together, they wouldn't be able to break her skin, let alone pose any substantial obstacles to her. According to the contract, she wouldn't kill anyone from the Red Party. As for the Black Party's winery...

Wouldn't it be better if He were destroyed? If He were destroyed, His mission would be accomplished and He could leave work!

Originally, He could have completed the story line in two months at most, but due to the expanded timeline, it took him so long to complete it. Now is the perfect time to finish it, so that He can go back and retire!

Long live retirement! Long live not having to work!

The high-dimensional creature No. 2 was happily spewing out white mist.
