MMP!!
Don’t hit people in the face, don’t stab people in the heart, you know?!
"Who is a half-wit!"
Conan, who was driven into autism by Huibara's words, instantly remembered what happened yesterday and couldn't help but explode. "Even if Detective Karasawa is better than me, calling me a half-wit is too much!"
"Hey, detective, just do your best~"
Haibara waved her hand nonchalantly, which made Conan beside her depressed.
At this moment, the noise on the side attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and found a middle-aged foreign man with glasses and gray hair, who looked to be in his fifties, surrounded by a group of reporters.
"Dr. Agasa, could the foreigner surrounded by those people be Mr. Randy Hawke, the person in charge of the animal show we watched before?" Mitsuhiko said in surprise after seeing the foreigner.
"Ah, it seems so." Dr. Agasa nodded and said, "I heard that he was born in beautiful Oklahoma, made his fortune in oil, and raised many animals for his hobby.
His son Paul and daughter Anne have also inherited their father's hobby and currently hold animal shows around the world.
His latest hobby is to visit the local zoo whenever he goes to a performance venue, but he never brings bodyguards with him wherever he goes. When a reporter asked him about this, he replied, "As a cowboy, I have to protect myself."
There should be a photo of him in the brochure we sent out earlier.”
"I found it, it really exists!" Ayumi turned the promotional leaflet to the last page and saw the person in the photo. He looked almost identical to the person surrounded by reporters in front.
"Mr. Hawke, did you hear that you're going to donate half of your performance proceeds to zoos around the world?"
“Coming to Neon again after three years, what do you want to say?”
"Mr. Hawke, please say something!!"
Faced with the reporters' crazy interviews, the foreigner in front of him repeatedly denied that he was not Hawke, but the reporters thought he was joking and soon made the man in front of him anxious.
"Can you give me a break!? (Can you stop bothering me!?)"
The man in front of him was furious at the reporters' harassment without explanation, and he yelled at the reporters.
It was this roar that instantly attracted Conan's attention.
"The image of a tough cowboy is instantly shattered." Dr. Agasa couldn't help but smile sympathetically as he looked at the frustrated man in front of him.
"You deserve it..." Huiyuan said coldly from the sidelines, "You arrogantly said you didn't need a bodyguard, now you're reaping the consequences!"
"Well, it's not entirely his fault. It's more like an unexpected disaster..." Conan smiled and said, "Then let's go and save this cowboy who is surrounded by a group of cows and whose real identity is Her Majesty the Queen!"
Then Conan ran straight over and shouted a name he had just thought of in front of many reporters.
This shouting naturally attracted the attention of the reporters, and then accompanied by the reporters' puzzled questions, Haibara assisted and said that the other party was a friend of Dr. Agasa and was an English teacher.
Then, while the other person was looking confused, Conan said that he wanted to go out for dinner together and pulled him out of the circle of reporters.
"Thank you!! Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have been able to escape!"
After listening to Conan and the others' explanation, the middle-aged foreigner thanked everyone in fluent Neon language and said helplessly, "Because we look so similar, I'm often mistaken for Mr. Hawke, which really causes me a lot of trouble!"
"Then why not just disguise yourself when you go out next time..." Yuan Tai suggested, holding his head.
"This actually gives people the feeling of trying to cover up one's mistake." Huiyuan said lightly beside him: "Then you will really be unable to explain yourself."
"By the way, the fact that you came here means you are here to see the animal show, right?" Mitsuhiko asked the other party.
"That's right! Because this animal show is so good!" The middle-aged foreign man took out a pendant from his pocket. "And I came to Neon for another reason, which is to buy this!"
"Ah, it's the white lion pendant! We have that too!!" Ayumi said in surprise when she saw the pendant the other party took out.
"But this kind of popular pendant should be sold everywhere. There's no need to come all the way to Neon to buy it, right?" Huibara couldn't help but complain when she saw the other person showing off like a child.
"Of course not. Look at the pendant strap. Doesn't it say 'The Animal Show Wtch Paul & Amle' on the front?"
As he said this, he turned the pendant strap on his hand over, revealing the words "in Japan" written on the back.
"Ha...it turns out this pendant is a limited edition item..." After seeing the words on the back, Conan immediately understood the seller's sales tactics.
"But today is really unlucky!"
The middle-aged man took the pendant that Conan handed back to him and sighed, "I had already made an appointment with my friend, but this happened...
Have you ever seen a man with long hair? "
"It seems not... because there are too many people coming here to watch the show." Dr. Agasa thought about it and finally shook his head.
"By the way, what did you mean when you said he was 'Her Majesty's Cowboy'?" Huiyuan looked at Conan and asked, "Does this have anything to do with you discovering he wasn't Mr. Hawke?"
"Ah, that one." Conan smiled and explained, "I knew it when I heard the English phrase he shouted when he was angry.
At that time, the pronunciation of the word "Can" was not American phonetic symbols but International Phonetic Symbols, right? That is the British accent!
However, Mr. Hawke is a cowboy living in the beautiful South. It is too unnatural for such a person to speak with a strong British accent..."
"Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true..." After listening to Conan's words, Dr. Agasa touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Hawke on TV is a man with a bold personality and a heavy accent..."
"Also, uncle, the only similarities are their hairstyle and beard. If you look closely, you'll find that they have many differences." Conan smiled at him. "Just like you can't tell Asians apart, we can also mistake people for hair color or skin color. And besides, you look so much like Mr. Hawke..."
"Oh!! Your reasoning ability is truly amazing!!"
After listening to Conan's reasoning, the man couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. He then pointed at himself and introduced himself: "My name is James Blake! What's yours?"
Hearing the other party's question, Conan finally said the famous line that almost never had a chance to appear again after a long time:
"My name is Conan Edogawa, and I'm a detective!"
