Chapter 241 Thirty-five Gachapon
When Toru Amuro stepped onto the ground at the entrance of the amusement park, he was still thinking about a profound question in his heart.
How did this happen? Who is he and where is he?
At first, Date Kou only said that he had a set of three family tickets for the theme park, which was limited to two adults and one child. However, there was only one child at the scene, and there were five adults, excluding Date Kou who was going back to Hokkaido with his fiancée after lunch.
Conan didn't really care whether to go to the amusement park or not, but he secretly glanced at the detective who seemed to be deep in thought, and he felt that his brother really wanted to go.
In other words, I really want to go with him.
Come to think of it, I seem to have found a folded page in a magazine at home before... [Fifty Things You Must Do with Your Important Person!] or something like that? It seems that the "Let's Go to the Amusement Park" was specially circled by Yue Ge.
Although he always felt that there was something wrong with the magazine, Conan was also convinced at this time that the detective wanted to go with him, so he shook his brother's sleeves and put on a childish expression and acted cute without any burden: "Na, Zero brother, let's go play together!"
He really wanted to call him Brother Yue directly, but Bourbon was still here, so he had to reluctantly replace the name with the nickname that did not belong to his brother before it came out of his mouth.
But Conan didn't know why, as soon as he finished speaking, the small corner space in the cafe suddenly became quieter than before.
After a few seconds, or maybe a few minutes, the air here began to flow again. The other adults sitting at a table were shaking their shoulders and laughing so hard that they were about to get a stitch in the side. Amuro Toru, who was standing behind the sofa, had a handsome face that became even darker than usual. Only the detective who was holding him remained calm as before and even raised his hand to him.
Conan reflexively reached out and high-fived the other person, but after the crisp sound rang out, Hagiwara and others over there laughed even louder.
Even the detective showed a relaxed smile on his face. He gently clasped his hands together and held the hand of the child who was many times smaller than himself. The warmth radiating from the child in his arms, the feeling of the child being heavier than a cat, and the steady beating pulse he could feel in his hands, all these made him feel better.
"Okay, let's go together." Akajinazuki always looked at Conan with a focused look, and now was no exception. He smiled and nodded briskly in agreement.
Ida Hang took out these three tickets with the intention of distributing them to his friends, the detective being one of them. So after he finished laughing, he swiftly took out two tickets, one large and one small, and handed them to the detective, so he was left with the last ticket.
"Amuro, do you have time this afternoon?" Date Kou turned around and asked, as if he had remembered something, "If you have time, you can come with us, right?"
Amuro Toru nodded slowly: "Well, this afternoon is definitely not my duty time, so I have plenty of free time."
Except for the two people who got the tickets, the other four people exchanged glances quietly.
Just kidding, there is absolutely no way they would let the detective run out alone at this time (children don't count), of course they need to have a reliable adult by their side!
"Xiao Zhenping, I remember you said you didn't want to go to a place like an amusement park with a man, right? Then I won't force you. Let me go with Detective-chan." Hagiwara Kenji smiled brightly and took the lead. He even reached out for the ticket in Date Kou's hand. "And I remember that the Investigation Division is very busy recently. Maybe they will second you there again. Isn't it a bad time to go there?"
The person who knew Hagiwara Kenji best was none other than his childhood friend Jinpei Matsuda. He snorted coldly and reached for the ticket faster than Hagiwara did: "Don't daydream, Hagi. If there is a temporary mission, the virgin class will be more urgent. Then we will both be the first group to go back. Who will have it easier?"
"Besides, this little brat doesn't count." Matsuda Jinpei pointed at Conan with the thumb of his free hand, and raised his chin to signal Hagiwara Kenji to look at the detective. "The little devil can only be five years old at most, no more."
Five years old, isn't that two years younger than him? Does he still need to impress Officer Matsuda that he is more mature than Yue Ge...
The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, and he was complaining madly in his heart.
After saying this, Matsuda Jinpei suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. He looked suspiciously at Akae Nazuki who was sitting diagonally opposite him. The other person didn't seem to have any special reaction to his words, and even showed a confused and innocent smile after he looked past her.
…
No, no reaction is the biggest reaction! !
A chill struck Jinpei Matsuda, and he stepped back when he came to his senses, but he was still a step slower than the detective.
Under the table, the sneakers he was wearing to match his casual outfit were stepping hard on Matsuda Jinpei's instep. When the latter's expression twisted for a moment, he lifted his foot up a little and stepped on it again to vent his anger.
Even when he was stepping on people, the detective still had that smile on his face, and the curve of his mouth didn't change at all.
Kenji Hagiwara consciously retreated to make room for the detective to step on him, secretly making a "yeah" gesture to Conan, hiding his identity.
Matsuda Jinpei, who had been stepped on several times, subconsciously let go of the ticket, and Amuro Toru, who had been standing leisurely behind Date Kou, saw the opportunity and reached out to grab the ticket at this moment.
"I'm so sorry." The cunning police chief smiled and ruthlessly took out the ticket and held it in his hand. "It seems that I will be the one going to the amusement park with Mr. Detective this afternoon."
This guy is even worse, he just ignored him! Conan choked and angrily glared at the handsome blond-haired, dark-skinned guy.
Damn it, I knew Mr. Amuro was here to snatch that Yue Ge from him.
At this moment, the only person present who had not participated in the battle for tickets from beginning to end spoke. He shook his cell phone with a superficial look of confusion and politeness on his face.
"Is there a possibility," Zhu Fu Jingguang said gently, "that it is still possible to buy tickets online now?"
The two bomb disposal elites on the opposite side took a closer look and saw that the screen of Zhu Fu Jingguang's mobile phone was filled with a notification interface of "Purchase Successful" and an electronic ticket that was automatically coded.
Mr. Midorikawa had been silent the whole time, but it turned out that he had bought his own ticket on his phone! ! Conan was shocked.
Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei fell silent. Even Amuro Toru, who had just felt good because he had gotten the tickets in the end, couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness at this moment.
So what were they fighting for just now!?
The memories ended here. Toru Amuro looked down at the tourist bracelet on his wrist and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Forget it, now that I’m here, why not go back halfway?
If Akae Nazuki could hear his inner voice, he would definitely give Amuro Toru a smile without hesitation, and then ruthlessly shatter his fantasy.
Stop dreaming and go home? He was trying to get [Shu] to buy tickets for Natalie and Hang to the amusement park, and he dragged his family to the cafe to join in the fun, just to get Toru Amuro over. Now he wants to leave? Too late!
Toru Amuro had no idea and shuddered, only coming to his senses when the person behind him patted his shoulder.
"Let's go. The detective said they found an amusement ride that's perfect for us." The person who took the photo was Morobushi Kagemitsu. This elite sniper of the organization was wearing a pink cat whisker mask that didn't match his style at all, and a pair of cat ears on his head.
When he noticed that Toru Amuro's eyes were fixed on the cat's ears, Morobushi Kagemitsu narrowed his eyes and showed a relieved look: "You are looking at this, how is it, is it good-looking? The detective picked it for me."
"Don't worry, you have a share of it too." The blue-eyed devil whispered in his ear.
Hiro, have you also been infected by the little devil... no, the big devil?
Amuro Toru really wanted to ask this, but he didn't. All he had to say ended up being summed up in one sentence under Morobushi Kagemitsu's kind gaze: "...It looks good. I'm looking forward to it."
The devil who got a satisfactory answer took him to the big devil king. The big devil king with black hair and red eyes looked at him carefully for a long time with his chin held up. The red devil horns on his head swayed in front of Amuro Toru's eyes, which looked very eye-catching.
Toru Amuro curled up his fingers, he resisted the urge to grab the corners, and tried to distract his attention by shifting his gaze.
Then he saw the four thugs behind the big devil, no, three friends from the same period with a child, namely Hiro and Matsuda wearing cat ears of different colors, Hagiwara who was alone wearing golden dog ears, and the angel who was temporarily transferred to the arms of the 1.9-meter-tall Officer Hagiwara.
Yes, angel.
Is that a halo hanging above Conan Edogawa's head? Why would a souvenir shop in an amusement park sell something like that?
Toru Amuro's expression shifted a bit, and he roughly guessed what kind of headdress Aka had prepared for him.
"Amuro-kun, please lower your head." Akajina Yue said in a pleasant tone.
Amuro sighed after receiving the instruction, and lowered his head helplessly, allowing his young friend to put the snow-white headdress on his head. After putting it on, he was still not used to it and shook his head subconsciously, and the puppy ears on his head trembled twice.
He seemed to hear the sound of a camera being taken, and when he quickly moved his eyes over, he only saw his own little friend smiling with satisfaction.
Toru Amuro surrenders.
"Okay, let's go." Akae Nayue, who was already having fun before the project even started, took her brother back from Hagiwara's arms. Her expression and tone were completely different from the cold detective they met at the beginning. "At this time, there should be fewer people in the haunted house."
Except for him, everyone else was confused when they realized that they were going to a haunted house. Amuro Toru even thought, "Is this the place that is suitable for us to go to in the legend?" Matsuda Jinpei's train of thought was similar. He pulled his sunglasses down a little and looked at Akae Nazuki with his steel-blue eyes in confusion.
"Haven't we seen enough corpses at the crime scene? Now we have to go to the haunted house." Matsuda Jinpei complained, "If I remember correctly, the haunted house in this area of the park is hospital-themed, right?"
Since it’s a hospital theme, there’s certainly no shortage of corpse props, but the problem is, among the six people present, who would be scared by a mere fake corpse?
Chijiang Nayue smiled: "The one in the park next door is a prison theme."
"…Then it should be a hospital." Hagiwara Kenji commented cautiously, "It seems strange that our personnel are assigned to a haunted house with a prison theme."
After all, three of the six people could be considered criminals in some way.
