Chapter 1961 1969 [Terrible Man in Black] Ask for monthly ticket ()
Speaking of what happened last night, Omura Jun was still terrified: "They say black cats represent bad luck. I didn't believe it before, but there are very few cats in our area. But one appeared yesterday. Even before the crash, the cat meowed, which was like a death knell."
"And there were those two men in black. The streetlight downstairs in my building was broken. Normal people would not want to stay in the dark for too long, but they stood there for a while and seemed to have whispered something."
When Conan heard the words "men in black", two of them, something struck him, and he couldn't help asking, "What are they talking about?!"
Omura Jun glanced at him, somewhat surprised at the sudden violent reaction of this child, but he had a good temper and patiently answered: "I didn't hear it. I was afraid of seeing something terrible, so I quickly retreated quietly. When I looked out again after a while, there was no one outside, and I didn't know when the cat disappeared."
Jiang Xia listened to these words, glanced at Matsuda Jinpei who was passing by, and then looked at the cat lying on his shoulder: "..." Wait, why does this description look so familiar?
...It was all Maya Hashimoto's fault. He had to pass by such a dark and windy place in the middle of the night, and as a result, he, the good boss who bravely saved his subordinates, was seen by passers-by and was misunderstood as an outlaw.
Next to him, Kogoro Mori didn't have any sense of déjà vu about this.
He scratched his head and sighed, thinking that his old classmate was making a fuss. "How can you make such an ordinary thing sound like a ghost story? There are actually many men wearing black clothes, and when the light is dim, other dark clothes can easily be mistaken for black.
"So what happened last night was actually this - two men in dark clothes walked by your building together. One of them was afraid of cats, so he was frightened by the black cat under the street lamp in front of him and bumped into the wall, making a noise. After that, they stopped and muttered something like 'When will the cat leave?'
"And when you drew your head back in fear, the cat got bored and ran away. The two men finally dared to move forward and soon left your building. When you stuck your head out again, of course there was no one downstairs."
Jiang Xia: “…”
Omura Jun: "..."
Omura Jun: "What about the banging noises from the other day? They've been going on for a week now."
Maori Kogoro: "Of course it's just a child's prank, didn't I say that before?"
"..." Omura Jun took a deep breath, "You seem to get along well with the police. When I called the police, they said the same thing."
Maori Kogoro puffed out his chest and raised his head: "That's right, no matter how many years I have been a policeman. Now those young brats in the police station have to call me senior."
Atsushi Omura: “…” Do you think I’m praising you?
Conan was more likely to smell something unusual in the air: "But it's late at night, it's dangerous for a child to play pranks outside alone. Uncle Omura looks so troubled, why don't we catch those naughty kids? Uncle, a famous detective like you will definitely catch them easily!"
"Okay, okay." Maori Kogoro adjusted his tie, feeling a sense of pride like a savior. "It just so happens that I haven't seen Omura for a long time, so let's have a drink and reminisce about the past, killing two birds with one stone!"
Omura Jun: "..."
Although in his heart, his classmate Kogoro Mori was more or less reliable, just now, he suddenly decided not to invite him and turned around and left.
However, when he glanced around, he noticed that there was a buy-one-get-one-free Jiangxia next to him. Omura Jun immediately thought: Regardless of whether Mao Li is reliable or not, Jiangxia is here!
With this detective here, the two outlaws downstairs last night will be easily captured.
…
It was already getting dark, and the sun was setting. Maori Kogoro didn't even go back to the detective agency, but planned to go directly to Omura Jun's house.
After getting in the car, he found that there were several more figures sitting in the back seat.
When I turned around, I saw that the group of little kids had caught up with us again, sitting in a row, looking like they were very skilled at hitching a ride.
Maori Kogoro: "…Why are you following me?"
Conan opened his mouth and said: "I want to watch my uncle solve the case up close and write about it in my composition today."
Jiang Xia: "Conan is always running around, it's too dangerous. What if he gets accidentally hurt by those naughty kids? I'll help you watch him."
Mao Lilan opened her mouth and suddenly found that her lines seemed to have been snatched away by Jiang Xia.
But this is not a big deal. After all, Jiang Xia often helps her look after Conan who is running around.
So Mao Lilan crossed her arms and said something else: "I'll keep an eye on you to prevent you from drinking too much."
Maori Kogoro's heart, which had been soaring with praise, suddenly froze. He looked at Maori Ran silently: "...Why don't you go back? Or I can give you some pocket money and you can go shopping by yourself?"
“…”
Unfortunately, my daughter is a creature that cannot be driven away.
Maori Kogoro could only take the three of them with him, and on the way he muttered to himself: That's right, catching naughty kids is not as interesting as catching cats and dogs. With Jiang Xia's help, he can drink with his old classmates and be lazy at his own pace.
If there are a lot of naughty kids and Jiang Xia is busy, Xiaolan definitely can't just stand by and watch. This way, there will be no one watching him drink... Great.
…
Omura Jun was out and met a detective, feeling relieved. Maori Kogoro had a drink right away, feeling happy. Maori Ran, on the other hand, treated this as an ordinary commission and didn't think much of it.
Among the people in the car, Conan was the only one with a frown on his face, thinking seriously about something.
——Although there are indeed many people wearing black clothes, such as the one sitting next to him, but because the organization that shrunk him down all wore black clothes, Conan is now quite sensitive to this kind of clothes.
Especially in his impression, gin and vodka always appear together. By analogy, other members may also have a partner. Compared with "a man in black", "two men in black who appear late at night and act sneakily" will undoubtedly touch his nerves more.
Speaking of which…
Conan looked at Jiang Xia on the side and asked sharply in a low voice: "From just now, your expression seemed a little wrong. What are you thinking about?"
——Although he never told Jiang Xia about the Black Organization, he remembered that when he met Gin by chance before, Gin seemed to be somewhat concerned about this famous detective... Conan was always worried that the hateful organization was reaching out its claws to his innocent neighbors where he was not seeing.
Could it be that Jiang Xia also had some associations because of what Omura Jun said about the man in black?
Jiang Xia heard his question and turned back from the window.
He gave Conan a complicated look and lowered his voice: "Do you really want to listen?"
