Chapter 24 The Aftermath



Monday, a brand new week.

"Hey, Xiaolan, have you read the newspaper?"

At Teitan High School, Sonoko, holding a magazine, leaned over Ran's desk and said mysteriously, "The strange story about the "walking armor" at the Beika Art Museum was actually created by the curator in order to kill people!"

"Ah, no way?" Xiaolan couldn't help but be surprised when she heard that. She immediately remembered the old man she had met at the art museum two days ago. She couldn't help but ask anxiously, "So what happened next? Did that old man kill anyone?"

"Huh? Didn't you say you didn't know about this? How did you know that the director was an old man?" Sonoko asked curiously.

"I happened to see him on Saturday when I visited the art museum." Xiaolan explained quickly and reached for the magazine in Sonoko's hand.

After reading all of them, Xiaolan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "What? It turns out it wasn't implemented. Yuanzi, you really scared me."

"Hey, those aren't the main points." Sonoko chuckled, pointing to another young man in the magazine. "This one is the main point! Not only did he see through the curator's murderous intentions and persuade him to stop them, but more importantly, he's so handsome!!"

"Ah, speaking of which, Detective Karasawa did go to the art museum that day, and he went there specifically to investigate something 'strange'."

Xiaolan suddenly realized something and felt relieved. "It seems that Detective Tang Ze really noticed the hidden incident behind this "strange" thing and successfully prevented the tragedy from happening."

It’s really great... and the museum has been preserved thanks to the suggestions of the general public..."

“Hey hey hey!!!”

As she was speaking, Xiaolan's voice was interrupted by Yuanzi's exclamation. She couldn't help but look up at Yuanzi, but found that the other party was pointing at her with a look of surprise. She couldn't help but asked curiously: "Yuanzi, what's wrong?"

"You...you know this Detective Tang Ze mentioned in the report!?" Sonoko looked at Xiaolan with a slightly trembling face, a face full of envy, jealousy and hatred. "Damn it! Why is it that you always run into the handsome guys, Xiaolan!!"

"Stop... stop shaking." Xiaolan broke free from Yuanzi's shaking and said unhappily, "He's someone I met during a case my dad solved before. He's a new detective."

"Oh, I have a favor to ask of you then!" Sonoko said with a malicious smile.

"What...what?" Xiaolan saw Yuanzi's crazy look and said with caution: "Don't ask me to do anything weird."

"No, didn't we agree to go to my mountain villa next weekend? If possible, I want you to invite Detective Tang Ze to join us!" Sonoko stared at Xiaolan with burning eyes and said, "Is that okay?!"

"No!" Xiaolan refused helplessly, "I'm not that familiar with Detective Tang Ze, how can I be so presumptuous as to invite someone else.

Besides, this week has just begun. Detective Tang Ze is in the First Investigation Division, and he probably isn't even sure when he'll have a holiday next weekend."

"Please, Xiaolan!" Yuanzi continued to insist, "Since you know him, you can't let this opportunity go!"

After being pestered by Sonoko, Xiaolan couldn't resist and finally agreed to the other party.

"But I have to make it clear in advance, I can only invite you, but it is not up to me to decide whether Detective Tang Ze goes or not." Xiaolan looked at Sonoko with a happy face and said helplessly.

"Hehe, there will be no problem with Xiaolan taking action!" Sonoko said confidently.

"I actually think Conan-kun and Detective Karasawa have a pretty good relationship, and they even worked together to catch a criminal once before."

Xiaolan's eyes lit up when she thought of this, and she pounded her right fist on her left palm: "I'll talk to Conan when I get home and ask him to help invite Detective Tang Ze. It won't be too embarrassing if he refuses!"

"Conan? Is he the child you said lived in your house?" Sonoko couldn't help but become curious about him, so the topic of their conversation shifted to Conan.

………

On the other hand, after Tang Ze came out of the dormitory today, he became the focus of countless people's attention along the way.

Although he had often attracted the attention of pretty young ladies in the past, today he attracted the attention of many burly men, which made Tang Ze feel a chill down his spine.

Of course, this is not because he is greedy for Tang Ze's body and wants to make him "full of physique", but because Tang Ze is in the newspaper!

Director Ochiai is, after all, the director of an art museum with a long history, and the guests he needs to receive personally are all well-known in society.

After Karasawa gave his advice, Director Ochiai visited many places and someone used his connections to find the Publicity Department and say hello.

When the Propaganda Department saw that there were new elites among them, they immediately took advantage of the situation and did a favor to the Press Club, and released this wave of news.

Because this incident seemed too magical and full of story, reporters could not help but exaggerate it.

As a result, he became a person who attracted attention in the Metropolitan Police Department for a time, and Megure, Sato Miwako, Takagi and others also looked at him with admiration.

"Luckily I have a cheat, otherwise with the speed at which I'm becoming famous, I might be exposed one day..."

While Tang Ze was feeling relieved, he also secretly made up his mind to work hard after returning and absorb the knowledge and skills he needed to learn as soon as possible so that he could become a qualified criminal instead of just a guy with a false reputation.

But fortunately, everything was worth it. The art museum achieved good results, and although I had to be watched by my colleagues for a while, I also benefited from it.

After all, it was a case of preventing a murder, taking precautions before it happens, and increasing "prestige", so a salary increase is inevitable.

In addition, he also got the talent of "super sense of smell". Although there was a first-time bonus, he did not draw other talents, but drew "super sense of smell". This made Tang Ze very grateful for his good luck.

The "God's Tongue" is mostly used in the culinary field. Good eyesight has the advantage of being a sniper, and sensitive ears are not easily attacked by surprise, but it is easy to hear noises such as the creaking of tables and chairs, which affects sleep.

These talents each have their own areas of application and are all very powerful, but not the most suitable for Tang Ze.

In the world of "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma", "God's Tongue" would definitely be the strongest talent, but in this world it is not as good as "Super Smell".

After all, "super sense of smell" can be said to be the most suitable ability for criminal investigation among the five senses, and it can also help improve one's cooking skills.

In addition, Tang Ze has already tested this talent and found it to be even better than "Lin Heigou" in the online drama Detective Chinatown.

All kinds of smells can be smelled clearly, and can be selectively turned on and off, eliminating the trouble of being constantly invaded by various unpleasant smells in daily life.

It couldn't be more perfect.

PS: The contract status will probably change within this week. If you haven’t invested yet, you can invest now. It’s a sure win.
