Chapter 944 Miyano Akemi's "Colonel Moran"
The three friends of "Hideki Moroboshi" were a little flustered by the current situation. They instinctively followed the main group and also didn't say anything.
Noah then pretended to have no objection and watched Conan enter the poker club.
But at the same time, it secretly observed the position of each person, touched the heavy gun on its waist, and showed a look of joy in making trouble.
…
Conan knew nothing about the "ghost's" plan.
He opened the door gently and, relying on his low presence, successfully slipped into the poker club.
This club is quite famous in the local area, and it is evening now, the best time to gather and play cards. There are many small round tables in the hall, and almost all of them are full. People from all walks of life gather here, and their rough and elegant faces are illuminated by the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
In the corner farthest from the door, the warmest and most spacious, there is a sturdy long wooden table.
——Whether in terms of material, size or location, this seems to be the "VIP seat" in this poker club.
Four people sat around the long table, two by two, wearing high-end and neat clothes, with a mountain of chips and yellow liquor in their hands.
Conan's gaze quickly stopped on this table.
Not only was this VIP seat different in every way, but also because among the four people, there was actually a woman - probably the only woman in the entire chess and card club.
The woman was wearing a black evening gown, her long hair was tied up behind her head, and she wore a dinner hat tilted on her head. A thick black veil hung down softly, and her face was hidden in it and could not be seen clearly.
The woman in black held five cards in her hand, and so did the person opposite her. The two were playing Soha. Currently, almost all the chips were on the woman in black's side, and the person opposite her was losing cards one after another, and his face was not looking good.
Conan glanced at the woman in black.
This familiar outfit immediately brought a name to his mind, "Miss Anonymous" - the magical woman who jumped over railway tracks and buildings but always remained unscathed.
Conan: "..." However, this outfit is not uncommon in this era. And Miss Anonymous would not wander into the game for no reason, this is a game hijacked by Noah...
He stared at the hazy black veil in front of the woman in black, trying hard to peek, but it was difficult to see clearly for the moment.
Conan sighed and gave up for the time being.
He then hid in a hidden place, pricked up his ears, and eavesdropped secretly.
After listening for a while, Conan was suddenly shocked.
——The people who were playing cards together were actually calling the woman in black "Moran".
"..." Colonel Moran here is actually a woman? !
…
After a moment, Conan calmed down and quickly accepted this setting.
Just now in Holmes's house, while looking around unceremoniously, he saw the photos displayed on the shelf.
——The above is a photo of “Sherlock Holmes” and “Watson”.
Conan watched excitedly with the mood of admiring his idol, and then found that the images of Holmes and Watson in this copy were actually taken from his father and Dr. Agasa...
"..." After this, seeing the female version of Moran in front of me...
Conan suddenly felt that there was nothing to be surprised about.
Speaking of which, Moran seems to be cheating... I wonder if I can take advantage of this and find a way to get the information I want.
…
Conan fell into deep thought for a moment.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly patted his shoulder from behind.
"!" Conan was startled and turned around suddenly.
I thought he had snuck in, but was spotted by the store clerk, and the unfriendly NPC was about to kick him out.
However, when he turned around, Conan found that the person who came was not the clerk, but Hideki Moroboshi.
——This little leader of the second generation of bears sneaked in without following orders, and even brought a brave companion with him. He asked Conan arrogantly: "What's the situation?"
Conan's forehead jumped: "...What are you doing here?"
"Hideki Moroboshi" gave a "I see through you" smile: "Don't try to take all the credit, glasses boy - tell me your discovery right away."
"..." Conan didn't want to bother with this naughty kid.
But if he said nothing, he was worried that this person would make a scene on the spot.
So I had to throw out the known clues first to stabilize them:
"I didn't find anything else, but Colonel Moran seems to be cheating. I'm thinking about how to use this to achieve our goal.
"Look, there is a cat on the cabinet behind her opponent. The cat can see her opponent's cards. Every time the unlucky guy draws the cards, the cat will reveal the cards to Colonel Moran. For hearts and spades, the cat uses the right paw, and for diamonds and clubs, the cat uses the left paw. The cat will move a few beans of the same color to the side according to the number of cards on the card..."
As he spoke, Conan was silent for a moment:
...Are cats that smart?
"..." But never mind, it's just a setting in the game after all...
Come to think of it, this cat looks familiar—it’s completely black, except for its white paws.
Conan remembered that this fur color was exactly the same as the cat that came to Beika Town a while ago and liked to randomly appear in the Mori Detective Agency, Dr. Agasa's house, Jiang Xia's house, and other nearby neighbors' houses. There was even one time when Conan was distracted in class, and when he turned around, he saw a familiar cat head on the windowsill. The cat was staring at Mr. Kobayashi, as if he was also listening to the class... This cat actually wandered into the game?
Conan: “…” No, no, no, how is this possible.
All cats look similar. Although cats with this fur color are rare, they are not unique. Maybe they are completely different cats.
Moreover, it seems that this game contains a lot of the designer's personal ideas - maybe this cat was created by Dr. Agasa based on the prototype of the Dark Cloud Snow Cat.
"..." In short, for Conan, in a world where Sherlock Holmes is his father, Watson is his neighbor, and Colonel Moran is a beautiful woman... a mere cheating cat is really not worth making a fuss about.
I was thinking about all sorts of things.
At this moment, someone suddenly walked by.
Suddenly, the unruly sneer of "Hideki Moroboshi" was heard in the hall: "Ha."
"???" Conan was startled and looked over quickly.
Then "Hideki Moroboshi" did not hide anymore, but walked into the hall openly.
He pointed at Colonel Moran and shouted to her card opponent: "Don't you understand why you keep losing? Because the woman opposite you is actually cheating! The cat behind you is always helping her!"
The cat's ears trembled when he pointed at it, and its paws, which were carefully picking beans, paused for a moment.
After a moment, it nonchalantly pushed the beans back onto the plate, quickly destroying the evidence.
Then it meowed innocently, leaped in the air, drew an arc, and ran into the arms of the woman in black.
