Chapter 10 (Catching Bugs)
The people present were not surprised at Kogoro Mouri's condition. Instead, they could not hide their excitement about seeing the sleeping Kogoro with their own eyes. Only one person had a serious expression, but after a few seconds, that person seemed to have thought of something and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
After using the anesthetic needle, Edogawa Conan skillfully found a secret place to hide. His small body made it easy for him to hide tightly, making it difficult to be discovered.
Kurokawa Akiho leaned lazily against the wall, standing behind the crowd and watching a method of solving a case he had never seen before.
Conan Edogawa, using a voice changer, imitated Kogoro Mori's tone, indicating that he had seen through the whole truth.
After a series of reasoning, the murderer was found to be the deceased's companion, Asami Kuwashima, who cried the most sadly.
Asami Kuwashima was still defending herself at first, but only after Conan exposed her method of committing the crime did she completely confess her guilt.
She smiled happily, with no regrets on her face: "Yes, it was me who put □□ in Meifan's lipstick. I killed her."
"How could it be you, Asami?!" Yuta Hotani looked at her in disbelief, his heart filled with confusion: "Aren't you and Miho good friends since college?"
At this point, Asami Kuwajima no longer needed to pretend. She sneered and pointedly accused, "Miho, she's having an affair with my boyfriend behind my back."
"What?" Liang Yongxun opened his eyes wide.
"If she really thought of me as a good friend, why would she do something like this behind my back?! She knows how much I like Mr. Kawauchi, yet she acts hypocritically in front of me every day. It's really disgusting."
"No!" Ryonaga Xun said in a tragic tone: "The reason why Miho and Mr. Kawauchi often meet privately is to plan a proposal for you!"
"Mr. Kawauchi was afraid you would reject him, so he secretly contacted Miho and planned a surprise proposal. We all got involved, hiding it from you just to give you a surprise!"
Kuwajima Asami looked at Ryoshinaga Xun in disbelief. Her body turned ice cold in an instant. She shouted in disbelief, "Impossible! I don't believe it!"
With tears in his eyes, Liang Yongxun looked at his unfamiliar friend and shouted angrily, "The original plan was to propose today, right next to the hotel where Miho was celebrating after she was discharged from the hospital. If you don't believe me, you can go and see it!"
"But I didn't expect you to be so cruel as to kill Miho!"
Asami Kuwashima still felt that they were colluding to deceive her and resisted going to see the scene.
Ryonaga Xun handed the phone to Kuwashima Asami, "Look carefully for yourself!"
The proposal venue in the mobile phone video was beautifully decorated, and there were even blessing videos recorded by friends. When she saw the video recorded by Shimakawa Miho before her death, she could no longer bear the grief and regret in her heart.
Asami Kuwashima shed tears of remorse.
A tragedy caused by misunderstanding has come to an end.
[Congratulations to the player for triggering a new side quest.
As the director of a park, you should be full of love, positive, kind and friendly qualities. Please stop the emergency happening in front of you.
Mission: Solve the murder case in the hospital ward to complete.
Rewards: Red and Black Party Reputation System.]
A new column has been added to the familiar system interface.
After Megure Juzo took the murderer away, the sleeping Mouri Kogoro gradually woke up. He scratched the back of his head and had no recollection of the case he had just solved.
Edogawa Conan put away his bow-tie voice changer and just as he came out of his hidden corner, he saw Kurokawa Akiwa standing beside him. His body stiffened and a bad premonition spread through his body. The temperature in his limbs faded. He clenched his hands and asked calmly, "When did the director stand here?"
Could the headmaster have seen it all?
The corners of Kurokawa Akishige's lips curved up, but he chose not to expose him: "Just now."
After hearing the answer, Edogawa Conan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Good thing he wasn't discovered.
"Conan, why are you here? Aren't you going to check on the case?"
"Conan, where have you been?" Mao Lilan rushed over and complained to Edogawa Conan: "Really, I told you not to run around the crime scene."
Edogawa Conan shrank his neck and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaolan. I thought that was a game console, but when I came here I realized I was mistaken."
Mao Lilan looked in the direction of Edogawa Conan's finger and saw a decorative bag similar to the packaging box of a game console. She warned: "Forget it this time, but don't do it next time."
"Yeah!" Edogawa Conan nodded quickly.
Kurokawa Akishige looked at Edogawa Conan, who was unusually well-behaved in front of Mouri Ran, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
[Conan is always good at being spoiled. ]
[He's really good at acting cute, hahahaha.]
[The fooling around has begun again.]
[The victim's sister in this case is so miserable.]
If he hadn't known that the elementary school student in front of him was a high school student who had taken medicine and become smaller, he would have been fooled.
After Mao Lilan told Edogawa Conan not to run around, she noticed Kurokawa Akiho standing nearby. She felt a little embarrassed when she thought about how rude she had been to ignore him for so long. She said apologetically, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"He is Mr. Akiwa Kurokawa. Mr. Kurokawa is super awesome. He has such a big amusement park." Conan Edogawa took the initiative to jump out and introduce Akiwa Kurokawa to Ran Mouri. He drew an exaggerated circle with his arms on his chest.
For some reason, Edogawa Conan always felt that there was a sense of incongruity with Kurokawa Akiwa, and he didn't want Xiaolan to have too much contact with him.
Mao Lilan opened her eyes wide. "You are the director of an amusement park? How impressive. Hello, my name is Mao Lilan."
Kurokawa Akiwa glanced at Edogawa Conan, his eyes narrowed silently, but returned to normal in a few seconds: "I am Kurokawa Akiwa. Nice to meet you, Miss Mori."
System: [Why does this little ghost seem hostile to you?]
Kurokawa Akiwa: Be more confident and get rid of the feeling.
Kurokawa Akiho also didn't understand why Edogawa Conan was wary of him, even though he was his savior.
If it were anyone else, he would have been treated as a corpse, okay?
【I’m dying of laughter, hahahahaha.】
【Why am I afraid of you? Don’t you know what’s going on? 】
[Although the little detective's radar isn't as good as Ai's, it seems to be pretty accurate.]
[I'm strangely looking forward to the meeting between the young principal and Ai.]
Didn't he just scare the kids a few times? Why is he holding such a grudge?
Kurokawa Akiho was secretly complaining in his heart.
After the case was over, Kurokawa Akishige once again focused on rebuilding the amusement park.
The recruitment information sent out was extremely popular. On the day of the interview, the entrance of the amusement park was even busier than when it first opened.
Morofushi Kagemitsu, who was placed with high hopes, sat next to Kurokawa Akiwa with a thick interview resume in his hand.
Kurokawa Akishige stared at Morufushi Kagemitsu for a few seconds, rubbing his chin with his fingertips.
Zhu Fujingguang felt more pressured as he faced the young director's gaze.
System urges: [Not starting yet?]
Kurokawa Akishige answered the system in his heart and waited a little longer.
Zhu Fujingguang seems too gentle, which makes it impossible for him to establish authority among his future employees. He also needs someone to play the bad guy.
He thought about it and called Jinpei Matsuda over via message.
When Matsuda Jinpei sat next to Morofushi Kagemitsu with a puzzled look on his face, Kurokawa Akifusa nodded with satisfaction.
Yes, the bad guy is here.
Kurokawa Akiwa worriedly warned, "Matsuda, you must talk more later."
Zhu Fu Jingguang glanced at his peers and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Jinpei Matsuda's brow was full of black lines, and he rolled his eyes at Akiho Kurokawa.
He must keep his mouth shut.
The interview began.
The first interviewee sat awkwardly in his chair. "Hello, interviewers."
Kurokawa Akishige looked through the interviewee's resume.
The information filled in is neither too much nor too little. There is nothing particularly excellent about it, but there are no shortcomings either. It is just average.
"I saw from the form you filled out that you used to play professional tennis. Why did you give up your job and come to the amusement park?" asked Kurokawa Akishige.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Kurokawa Akiho's question, interviewee number one burst into tears.
Without any preparation, the expression changed extremely quickly.
The expression on Kurokawa Akiwa's face froze for a rare moment.
Matsuda Jinpei also raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Interviewee number one burst into tears, "I didn't want to either, but the pro scene has been so intense lately. These junior high kids are so scary, I can't beat them at all. Not only did I lose the competition, but I'm also in debt. Debt collectors are blocking my door every day."
"There was really no other way. I had to reluctantly give up my childhood dream."
Interviewee No. 1 cried bitterly, recounting his misfortune word by word in a sad and choking manner.
"But working here isn't easy," Kurokawa said. "Our park opens at 6:00 AM and closes at 6:00 AM. It's going to be a bit tough, is that acceptable to you?"
【??? This time.】
Is there any difference between 6am and 6am?
【Working 24 hours a day is too dark.】
Is this a black-hearted capitalist?
Interviewee No. 1 nodded frantically, tears streaming down his face, not even hearing what was said. "Acceptable."
Kurokawa Akifumi pressed the acceptance stamp on the information of interviewee number one with satisfaction.
Leek employee +1
The second interviewee was wearing a basketball jersey and holding a basketball in his hand when he came in, and his professional characteristics were very obvious.
Akifumi Kurokawa asked the same question as the previous one while looking at the resume.
After hearing the question, interviewee number two suddenly knelt on the ground, crying and heartbroken.
Kurokawa Akifusa: ???
"I didn't want to, but the pro scene has been so intense lately. These high school kids are so scary, I can't beat them at all. Not only did I lose the competition, but I'm also in debt. Debt collectors are blocking my door every day. If I don't get a job, I'm going to die."
Kurokawa Akiwa's "Moon Half Eyes" - didn't he change his lines?!
When the amusement park was short of people, Kurokawa Akiho held his forehead and said, "You're hired."
The next interviewees were more bizarre than the last. One claimed to have just returned from another world, another said he was a ninja, and another even said right away that he wanted to apply for the position of kindergarten principal.
Jinpei Matsuda could no longer hold back his laughter, and his original role as the villain turned into a comedian.
Kurokawa Akifusa chose to hire all of them.
[It seems that we are really short of people. ]
【Is that the next one?! 】
【Wow! I'm looking forward to it!】
The barrage of comments also aroused Kurokawa Akishige's emotions, and he was a little curious about who would be the next one.
He flipped through the resume and saw only a dark upper body in the photo, which was full of mystery.
"Next."
The door of the office was pushed open from the outside, and a figure dressed in black walked in. The man was carrying a small schoolbag and sat on a chair in the office.
At the same time, the two people present who had police experience, Keimitsu Morobushi and Jinpei Matsuda, became serious in expression and stared at the man with sharp eyes.
As soon as Fanze sat down, he felt two materialized unfriendly gazes. His face instantly turned unhappy and a vicious look appeared on his face. When he raised his eyes, he saw Jinpei Matsuda, who was wearing sunglasses and looked very tough.
He swallowed and looked away.
Zhu Fujingguang's lips were unusually flat, and his upturned cat eyes were full of majesty.
Fanze's body stiffened, cold sweat covered his forehead, and his hands were placed obediently on his knees, like a primary school student listening attentively in class.
What's wrong with this amusement park interviewer? How come his eyes are more ferocious than a murderer's?! This is unbelievable!
When Kurokawa Akishige saw Xiao Hei for the first time, his bright cat eyes were full of interest. "Your name is Fanze?"
"Yes, yes!" Fanze looked at the third person whom he had never noticed.
The black-haired young man had a gentle smile in his eyes and looked quite young. In comparison, he was easier to get along with than the other two.
It seems easy to grasp.
Fanze couldn't help but think.
Perhaps, he could infiltrate first, and then slowly get the director to fire the other two difficult guys, so that the amusement park would be his!
【Xiao Hei is surprisingly the most normal one.】
【Xiao Hei's expression and background music show that he must be thinking of something bad, hahahaha.】
[Just came from the side story of Xiao Hei next door. He is trying to control the young principal and fire Hiro and Mazda so that he can monopolize the amusement park.]
What does he want to do?
[Hahahahahahahahaha, this is a plant. I've learned a lot.]
【Xiao Hei is still too young.】
Kurokawa Akiwa casually scanned the comments, his smile growing even brighter. "Congratulations, Mr. Fuze, you've been hired."
Fanze, who was still daydreaming, was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he passed the interview without saying anything.
Fanze straightened his back and felt that this situation was normal. After all, he was a murderer!
Fanze was the last interviewee, and after he completely left, Morofushi Jingguang and Matsuda Jinpei looked at each other and understood each other's intentions very tacitly.
Zhu Fujingguang thought for a moment and said, "Director, the last one, Mr. Fanze, doesn't seem to fit the style of our park very well."
After all, he was someone who often walked in the dark, and was always particularly sensitive to danger. Although Mr. Fanze's impression was not that obvious, his vague malicious intentions and murderous intent could not be ignored. Such a person was too dangerous to be placed in an amusement park.
"No, he's perfect for our park," Kurokawa Akifumi replied. "We'll be having emergency preparedness shows in the future to teach our visitors to obey the law and not to constantly think about doing things that would endanger other people's lives and property. He's perfect for playing the criminal."
Zhu Fujingguang: ...You worried for nothing.
Jinpei Matsuda: He knew it would be like this.
*
Fanze walked out of the office full of fighting spirit, and was already imagining a better life in the future.
Before leaving the paradise, he turned his head to take a look, as if he wanted to memorize the appearance of the thing in his bag.
First glance over.
Eh?
Fanze rubbed his eyes. He looked at the terrifying frame with bared fangs and claws in the distance and began to doubt his life.
Is this an illusion? Why would something like this exist in an amusement park?
Fanze knocked his head and comforted himself that it must be because he had been thinking about how to kill the landlord recently and had not received enough sleep.
Seeing that he has hallucinations, he should go back and have a good rest.
Fanze put the Ferris wheel frame behind him and walked home happily.
The confident figure had no idea that his fate had completely changed.
