Chapter 41

◎You can’t say someone is accident-prone just because they’ve been in too many accidents. They might be looking for accidents.◎

Chapter 41: You can't say someone is prone to accidents just because they've been in too many accidents. They might just be looking for accidents.

If we can already gather those who are fed up with being played around by fate and form a secret family, then it is not impossible to gather more like-minded people and destroy the organization together.

After all, everyone has the same goal, even if their motivations are different. Perhaps they want to break free from the shackles of the dark forces, perhaps they want to achieve greater good, or perhaps they just want to become the next No. 1 organization.

But Agatsuma Sayuri wants to win over anyone who is an enemy of the organization.

After all, she wasn't a police officer, so she had to be upright. She wasn't a member of an illegal organization, so she had to avoid the police. She wasn't even from this world; as long as the environment turned out to her advantage, she didn't care what happened to her.

If Agatsuma Sayuri in the past was herself, she would obviously be operating according to this idea.

Although various tragedies appear to be happening on the surface, the world of Detective Conan has actually become something completely different.

If the stability of the world only requires achieving the content that appeared in the original work, then what about the parts that did not appear in the original work? Shouldn't they just let them play with it?

If we borrow the settings from those fan works of the "Complete Killing" genre, we can save everyone.

Treat this world as The Truman Show, where the actors perform plots that are consistent with the original work on stage, and after filming is completed, they can live freely with my wife's family.

"But how will this life of anonymity end?"

Agatsuma Sayuri still remembers that before she arrived in this world, "Detective Conan" was still being serialized. Although the original author had long since announced the ending, as long as the ending remained unrevealed, the original worldline would not be concluded.

Agatsuma Sayuri has already noticed that not all members of the Agatsuma family "died" at the time indicated in the original work. The reason is simple: if the original timeline is followed, then a total of 606 people died during the 31 years of serialization, based on the TV series and the theatrical version.

However, the author claims that only six months passed since the protagonist changed from Kudo Shinichi to Edogawa Conan. Therefore, the cases in over a thousand episodes occurred in just six months. Regardless of the changing seasons, the sheer number of serious crimes that occurred in six months is enough to keep the Metropolitan Police Department busy.

Therefore, the world itself has made changes to the timeline, and some cases that do not necessarily require Conan Edogawa to appear to be solved have experienced time shifts.

Of course, the reason why my wife's family is so large is not entirely because they passively wait for opportunities like the above, but rather because they gradually find the point of convergence between the world line and the desire to control their own destiny, and gradually compromise with the so-called destiny.

This includes but is not limited to resolving the incident in advance, but still letting the reconciled criminals and victims act out scenes that have appeared in the comics, or finding a replacement "corpse" and letting members of my wife's family who are police officers conduct tests and make correct inferences to solve the case in the fate line.

They even specially registered an entertainment company so that when necessary, they could gather actors and perform the scenes that appeared in the plot in the studio.

My wife, Sayuri, finished all her important work emails in a week. She handled nearly half of them in just half a day on the first day, but the closer we get to the present, the harder and more intensive the process becomes, so it took her a full week.

During these three days, work emails have also been increasing at their own pace.

Fortunately, it seems that someone is helping to deal with it, so not all work emails have to be handled by Sayuri Agatsuma alone.

The most important emails, marked in red, were always handled first by that unknown helper. Most of the most recent emails were also handled by others. My wife, Sayuri, had to watch helplessly as emails went from unread to read and then moved into the processed category.

Thanks to that person, Agatsuma Sayuri was able to finish her dress before the invitations from Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko and attend on time.

If it weren't for this sudden job, Agatsuma Sayuri would even have thought about making a set of dresses for Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko.

However, if we ignore the Agatsuma family behind Agatsuma Sayuri, and only consider her status when interacting with the two children, Agatsuma Sayuri is actually the poorest of the three.

It goes without saying that Suzuki Sonoko has the support of the Suzuki Group, and the Mori family is actually quite well off. As long as Kogoro Mori doesn't spend all his money on horse racing and drinking, the savings he made as a policeman plus the income from the Mori Detective Agency can more or less cover the expenses of the entire family.

In fact, considering the nature of the residents, the area where the Poirot Café downstairs was located also belonged to the Maori family and should have been rented to the store manager. This meant that the Maori family should have a stable monthly rental income.

Although Eri Kisaki is separated from Kogoro Mori, she and Ran Mori have a strong bond. As a top lawyer, Eri Kisaki would not be too worried about her daughter's living expenses, so affording a suitable dress should not be difficult.

As for the only man on the trip, Kudo Shinichi, it wasn't that Agatsuma Sayuri didn't want to prepare a suit for him, too. But whenever she made men's clothing, she subconsciously made it in Koyasu Akira's size...

This is also one of the reasons why my wife Sayuri gave up making dresses for her companions.

On the day, Agatsuma Sayuri and Mao Lilan met at the agreed location, and Suzuki Sonoko asked the driver to pick them up. They would first get their hair done, then change into their dresses, and arrive at the hotel on time for the banquet to begin.

Kudo Shinichi moved his soccer practice to the morning, so he would arrive at about the same time as them.

Upon hearing this itinerary, Agatsuma Sayuri breathed a sigh of relief. Even though Kudo Shinichi didn't yet call himself a detective, and his accident-prone nature hadn't yet reached its full potential, getting too close to him was still likely to lead to incidents.

You can't blame Agatsuma Sayuri for attributing the previous hijackings they encountered to Kudo Shinichi's accidental nature. Ordinary people like her probably wouldn't encounter a hijacking in their lifetime. But Ran Mouri and Kudo Shinichi were together, and there were countless hijackings as shown in the original work alone.

The main thing is that even if the incident didn't happen to Kudo Shinichi, he would take the initiative to go to the scene when he saw or heard about the crime nearby. As time went on, even the parties involved in the case that had nothing to do with him would find Kudo Shinichi.

You can’t blame my wife Sayuri for developing some kind of metaphysical thoughts.

My wife, Sayuri, wasn't shy; she just didn't want to encounter a murder case while attending a party, especially since she had worked so hard to make such a beautiful dress and was planning to spend hours doing her elaborate hairstyle.

Four hours later, my wife Sayuri was watching a dark-skinned handsome guy in a waiter's uniform weaving through the crowd, and she secretly cursed herself for her bad mouth.

Although she didn't say it out loud, she thought about it in her heart!

It doesn't matter. Even if a member of the organization appears, there won't always be a murder. Especially when the person who appears is Bourbon, there's a chance that he's not working as Bourbon, but as Amuro Toru or Furuya Rei.

Toru Amuro's appearance came after Conan Edogawa's. The organization, having suffered repeated setbacks, suspected Kogoro Mori of having a problem, allowing Bourbon to get close to the detective. This also made the Poirot Café a relatively regular check-in spot for Toru Amuro.

If this hadn't happened, Bourbon would have approached his target from the bottom by doing odd jobs here and there, and then used some kind of "cheating" or violent means of infiltrating, which is a topic for later.

This model may indeed be effective, but it may also provide cover for the public security investigation to a certain extent.

But my wife Sayuri doesn't care about this. Amuro Toru is indeed a handsome guy, but my wife Sayuri's boyfriend is not to her liking.

Now that Bourbon has appeared, will Scotland also be involved in the mission?

Snipers generally do not appear directly at the mission site, but should be on standby at a nearby sniper point.

My wife Sayuri subconsciously looked out the window, and she felt something flash on the rooftop in the distance, causing her to close her eyes slightly. When she recovered and looked again, she could see nothing.

At this distance, ordinary people cannot see clearly what is in the opposite building without external tools.

It looked like there was nothing between the two buildings, but in reality, it was only because the floors were high enough. At ground level, there were two whole streets between them. Based on the way they came, it must have been at least 1,800 meters.

This distance exceeds the range of sniping capabilities described in the original work for Cohen or Chianti. Since there is no Scottish sniping range, if we calculate based on the highest sniping distance in the organization, which is 700 yards maintained by Ley, then this distance should also exceed the Scottish sniping range.

Bourbon and Scotland had been members of the organization for less than three years, so it was possible the organization still maintained a certain degree of vigilance towards them. Sending someone to observe and monitor them from a distance would be reasonable.

Then again, if it's just observation and surveillance, there's no need for snipers. It's not like ordinary people can't see with a telescope.

The girl pouted, feeling anxious because she didn't get an answer.

The banquet opened amid my wife Sayuri's anxiety. As Suzuki Sonoko said, the banquet was boring except for some delicious food.

The leaders' speeches are boring, the men and women at the banquet who only chat for business cooperation are boring, and those young second generations are just continuing the comparisons of their parents' generation, which is equally boring.

No wonder Suzuki Sonoko insisted on dragging two friends along to attend the party. If my wife Sayuri were to attend such a party alone, she would have declined.

Suzuki Sonoko looks familiar to this group of second-generation people, and they may also have some impression of Mouri Ran and Kudo Shinichi, but they don’t recognize a woman like Agatsuma Sayuri who stands out from the crowd and is unfamiliar to them at all.

Agatsuma Sayuri could hear the whispers of those around her, and many of the young people mentioned her. As for the older people, after observing her for a while, they realized that she was just a friend of Suzuki Sonoko and stopped paying attention.

The Suzuki family had not yet reached the point where a little girl like Suzuki Sonoko was in power - at this time, Suzuki Ayako was only 20 years old, and the Suzuki family had not yet decided who would be the next leader of the Suzuki family.

If someone wants to curry favor with Suzuki Sonoko, it should be the younger generation who does it, as the elders still value interactions with peers.

As the drinks flowed, waiters walked around carrying wine glasses and juice drinks.

Suzuki Sonoko was called away by her parents for a while, said hello to all the uncles, aunts and sisters, and then returned to her friends.

My wife Sayuri handed her a glass of freshly squeezed juice and waved to the waiter on the field, asking him to bring a drink over.

The dark-skinned blonde waitress seemed to have walked to their location by accident, and was naturally summoned by Gasatsuma Sayuri to serve the customer a drink.

② The sniping range that Ley displayed while in the organization was 600 yards, while that of Cohen and Chianti was 600 yards. In fact, his performance after leaving the organization shows that Akai Shuichi was hiding his power while in the organization.
