Chapter 59: Sharing Star-Chasing Experiences: Small hands holding English black tea...
Inside the house, the reflection of the snow shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows and gently falls on the wooden table.
In the air, the aroma of the coffee freshly brewed by Professor Agasa, the aroma of hot cocoa for the children, and the sweetness of the strawberry cream cake brought by Ayumi, together, created a beautiful and warm winter picture.
If the GP information in this picture was not popcorn, it might be better and more realistic.
Ayumi, the cheerful little sparrow, sat on the soft sofa, her two legs in white cotton socks swinging happily.
Her bright eyes were fixed on Conan without blinking. "Hey, Conan-kun, how did you guess that the woman Hattori-san met in the hotel was a famous Hollywood actress?"
Ayumi-chan, this is not just childish talk, it's clearly a dead giveaway.
It seemed like at that moment, the audience was quite full, but… no one expressed envy that Hattori Heiji had gotten Chris's autograph. His show had failed.
Conan pushed the iconic glasses on his nose, and the old rules flashed behind the lenses.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing the confidence that "everything is under control". That was the pride of seventeen-year-old Kudo Shinichi and the protective color of seven-year-old Edogawa Conan.
"It's actually very simple, Ayumi."
With the 45-degree sidelight and shadow of his face cast by the floor-to-ceiling window on the snow, he cleared his throat and began to articulate his reasoning in a clear and logical manner. Although his tone was childish, it was steady, and he had entered the mode of a little adult again.
Regarding the issue of the body getting smaller but the mind still being flexible, a certain tea-growing scientist thought to himself: the reasoning maniac is spreading his feathers like a peacock again.
Haibara's inner thoughts should be translated using lines from "Pride and Prejudice": If he continues to show off his reasoning like this, I'll have to reconsider my faith in humanity.
Academic Daji's Death Gaze. "Animal World" background music starts: It's time for males to display their tail feathers again.
"That guy Hattori Heiji... no, Hatori-nii (third tone), although he's been refusing to admit it, he's been secretly researching a lot of information about that Hollywood actress, and he even specifically asked me a lot about her autographs and private schedules. Combined with the fact that he mysteriously came to Tokyo but didn't dare bring Kazuha... my sister's whereabouts, and the fact that he, as a high school student, chose to stay in a luxury hotel not far from Beika... luxury, the answer is obvious, isn't it?"
Conan spewed out his reasoning.
The famous Kansai detective was publicly executed. We can ask the Osaka Prefectural Police Department to set up a "Hattori's Shame Play Hotline" in addition to the "Kid Arrest Hotline".
Note the pause on the word "luxury" in Conan's words.
In her little head, Dr. Huihara began to use academic spirit to deconstruct the financial power of Osaka playboys. The title of her paper is: "On the Class Symbol Consumption in the Star-Chasing Behavior of the Next Generation of East Asian Politicians" #富门追星实錄#
Conan paused, deliberately keeping the question in suspense. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Haibara, who was sitting in a corner diligently creating the image "Ice Beauty.jpg." Then he added slowly, "The process of elimination is the most basic detective technique. Once you've eliminated all impossibilities, whatever remains, no matter how incredible, must be the truth."
Ding Dong, Holmes sent a lawyer's letter warning: Please pay the copyright fee, thank you.
Q: What will happen next?
A. Sister Bei ordered "A Guide to Raising a Younger Man" overnight;
B. Huiyuan Ai then brought up "On the Feasibility Analysis of Love Rivals Becoming CP Fans";
C. The service department will develop a celebrity tracking app to trigger the winery team building, and suddenly the main plot;
D. I want them all (take out the ALL IN cheering stick).
Hattori Heiji folded his arms across his chest, lazily leaning on the sofa, his lips curled up slightly, his eyebrows raised, and he said in the bright and cheerful tone of the Kansai accent: "Oh my, Gong... Conan-kun, you are still the best. No wonder you always solve cases like you have cheats, you are simply a little genius."
Hidden in the cheerfulness of the Guanxi accent is a hint of bitterness, like "If there is Yu, why not Liang?"
Instead of "gong" or something like that, please just say "Washing Machine Man" next time. Anyway, the whole world knows that this vest has fallen off long ago.
Ai Haibara was sitting in a corner of the sofa, her posture elegant, like a Persian cat, and Queen Shirley's defense form was activated.
She gently held the teacup, and the white mist rising from the cup blurred her delicate and indifferent face. It was truly a modern scientific version of the "three points of Xizi disease" (Xizi disease).
The tea mist was like a veil, a hazy barrier imbued with a "keep away" barrier. Yet, these hands, having dissected countless small animals, had just last night...untied the belt of...a certain actress with many faces? (sudden color change.jpg)
What's brewing in the teacup, isn't it actually tea? Perhaps it's the aftertaste of absinthe. (The commentary turns yellow, then pink.)
The red tea and white mist in Haibara's hand may be a replay of last night's dream... Could the post-production sound effects please insert the BGM of "The Secret That Cannot Be Told to the Detective Team" here?
In the fireplace, the flames danced happily, making small crackling sounds from time to time. The orange-red light softly reflected on the faces of everyone in the living room, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Dr. Agasa's house was filled with the sweet aroma of apple pie. The smell of home made Huibara feel safe and at ease.
She put down her teacup, picked up the thick medical book, and gently turned the pages with her small fingers. The "rustling" sound was the cool note she released amid the clamor of the Eastern and Western high school detectives.
Medical Book: The Defense Tower of Contemporary Lesbians.
"About the fact that I was apparently studying biology but my mind was actually full of last night's dream."
Eighteen-year-old girl, with a different style from the others in the living room.jpg
At this moment, Haibara looks like she just arrived in Beika, with that depressing style.
It feels like in the next second, I will start to spout all kinds of melancholy lyrics and pinned comments from someone’s cloud music.
Ding Dong, the Dark Lolita from Cloud is back for a limited time. Don't miss it if you're passing by.
The song "Time After Time" (Vermouth Ver.) was automatically playing on the karaoke station. Haibara's eyes should be gleaming with the philosophical glint of "being manipulated by a bad woman."
After all, she had thought she'd be living a quiet life in Mihua (the address was wrong, first of all. Sigh), but she'd actually been bumped into by that woman yesterday. They'd exchanged a lot of sharp words, and finally, she'd been kissed on the cheek. And then she'd had that dream that night, with all this and that... a lot of sharp words.
A barrage of comments with changed colors passed by excitedly: You can consider directly watching the teaching video of "Thirty-six Styles of Lip and Tongue Sword Technique" next time. I have a friend who wants to learn it.
Although, she was not without moments of being...powerful...in her dreams, but after all, she was very unhappy when she had such dreams as soon as Vermouth came.
It feels like Vermouth can easily manipulate her mind and even her dreams.
"About the Time I Always Dream of Being Got Eaten Up by My Bad Sister"… by Sulli. Shouldn't the word "powerful" be replaced with a comment like "Tried to Counterattack But Failed" and a chibi-style image of Miyano Shiho rolling around in bed wrapped in a blanket? (Screenshotting like crazy)
Perhaps Freud is here to make his presence felt: "What you think about during the day you dream about at night." That's not what Shiho Miyano said when she pinned someone against the door and said, "Your smell is more deadly than APTX4869." (Suddenly driving.gif)
In short, although today was supposed to be a rare quiet weekend, she still slightly returned to her original factory settings, aka the depressing loli state.
System prompt: Haibara Ai has switched to "System Disordered by the Older Villain Sister's Flirtation" mode. A progress bar with a blossoming lily can be activated, accompanied by a pink barrage of comments like "This isn't a depressing mood, it's clearly a sign of love-brain."
Haibara raised her eyes, her gaze indifferent, and swept across the young detectives who were enthusiastically discussing Vermouth, oh no, the actress Chris Wynyard, and finally fell on Conan.
There was an undercurrent in his eyes, perhaps a subtle displeasure at seeing the two young detectives from Kanto and Kansai dancing around in the topic of their wives.
"It's hindsight." She said softly, and although her voice was soft, it was clearly heard by everyone present.
Genta was about to grab the cake, but when he heard this, his hand froze in mid-air. He scratched the swirl on his head and asked in confusion, "Haibara-san, what are you talking about? Are you playing chess?"
The Young Detectives are always jumping back and forth between desserts and the truth.
Mitsuhiko also stopped discussing with Conan and turned to look at her, a look of slight confusion on his face: "Haihara-san, Masaka, is there anything wrong with Edogawa-kun's reasoning?"
The angel Mitsuhiko, upon encountering Haibara, is forever torn between rationality and emotion, much like a fanboy who discovers his idol's debacle has been exposed. Could this eager gaze be a preview of the future "Ai-chan's toxic fan" character? (Spoiler alert.)
Ayumi pouted curiously and leaned closer to Huibara, "Hey, Ai-chan, don't you think Conan's reasoning is amazing? He's just like the famous detective in the TV series."
This kid has been getting close to me too many times. Is he deliberately taking the opportunity to get close to me? (Modo Modo)
In ancient times, Li Qingzhao wrote "leaning against the door and looking back, I smell the green plums", and now there is "walking closely with the beauty, I smell the gray fields".
They are all green plums.
Ayumi-chan's posting offensive is not a questioning at all. She might be using the topic to get the classmates to have a good momentum.
Haibara Ai raised her eyes, and her gentle gaze swept across Ayumi's innocent and cute little face, and then stayed for a moment on Conan's slightly smug face with a slightly raised eyebrow, and her gaze suddenly became cold.
In the last second, the little girl is clinging to each other and living a peaceful life, and in the next second, she raises her eyebrows and challenges him.
She snorted softly and continued, "Impressive? Well, it's just a routine operation. Some people always like to complicate simple things and package them in an unfathomable way to show how clever they are."
The first chapter of "The Self-cultivation of a Versailles Master". In the world of science fiction, where everyone is a riddler, Haibara's AOE is truly damaging. Amuro Toru's public security ID is starting to get hot.
Haibara, this wave is in the atmosphere, while Edogawa is still in the stratosphere. It can be used with the barrage "Tsundere Queen's Contempt".
She paused, raised the corners of her lips slightly, narrowed her eyes, and used her ultimate move: "But, Hattori... Brother's word 'cheating' is really appropriate."
The smile on Conan's lips froze.
Edogawa's blood pressure was soaring, and he cleared his throat awkwardly: "Oh hey, oh hey, Haiyi Bara, what do you mean by that? I'm not cheating."
If you think about it carefully, if Conan really talks about cheats, wouldn't he be carrying around a gift bag of Dr. Agasa's cheats? However, the cheats we are talking about today are not those cheats, but fan circle data cheats.
"Oh? Really?" Haibara Ai raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, her expression composed and a smile unfading. "Then tell me, how did you know which hotel Chris Wynyard, who just arrived in Tokyo, was staying in? Don't tell us you simply relied on the so-called process of elimination to come up with the exact coordinates of a global celebrity's Tokyo residence who just got off a plane today."
Shirley's question was thought-provoking and hit the nail on the head.
This kind of specific address information cannot be found by any Sherlock Holmes method of elimination.
You can't start with a blank slate and work through the process of elimination.
Even if you want to exclude them, you should have several alternative addresses at the beginning of the reasoning. Then you can go through the process and choose one of the three standard options or one of the four light luxury options.
So, how did the extremely smart Conan Edogawa know about this hotel?
Conan opened his mouth and found that he, who used to be eloquent, was speechless at this moment.
There are people in the world who can make Heisei Holmes speechless.
Haibara's question was like a silver bullet, hitting the vital point.
It's just that he didn't just rely on the process of elimination, he also used a little... not-so-presentable means.
aka cheating.
After Hattori asked about the Hollywood stories, he thought about the Hollywood actresses Hattori had expressed his admiration for... men. He quickly locked onto his target and secretly infiltrated Chrissie Wynyard's... fan group. Naturally, it clearly stated airport pickup and hotel information.
Kudo-kun, maybe this is the compulsory course for idol otakus that you learned from the special training class in Hawaii?
If Haibara Ai knew about lurking in a female celebrity's fan group, she would definitely laugh at him.
More than just ridicule? This dark history might even be recorded in the APTX4869 experimental log, played on loop every morning, noon, and night. APTX4869 has been improved into a fast-acting face-slapping pill.
If Haibara wants to go further in public execution, she can use the "Guide to Using Conan's Face Slapper": Step 1, open Conan's mobile phone LINE fan group; Step 2, search for female celebrity keywords; Step 3, enjoy the Heisei era Sherlock Holmes's blood pressure reaching its maximum.
"Ah, I was right, wasn't I?" Haibara Ai looked at Conan's stunned expression, and the corners of her beautiful lips curled up slightly. "It seems that some people not only like to 'cheat', but also like to 'stalk female celebrities'."
Yesterday, the actress followed Huibara and pretended to meet her by chance, and today Conan is cyber-stalking the actress. What a strange triangle.
And this female star is an old acquaintance of Conan's beloved mother, Yukiko Kudo. (suddenly changed color.jpg)
"Boku (I)..." Conan wanted to defend himself, but didn't know where to start.
At this moment, Kudo's silence is the longest night in Beika Town.
I can't just say I'm a fan of Chris, right? Then maybe Hattori Heiji will invite me to stay at the hotel with him, and then we might run into each other in the hotel's executive lounge.
You know, Hattori Heiji came to Tokyo alone, so he must have booked a king-size bed room that is more comfortable for one person...
At this point, shouldn’t we have the classic three choices: A. I am her fan B. I am investigating a case C. Dr. Agasa taught me all this.
Conan was still struggling, but Haibara saw through his youthful thoughts with her eyes.
After all, it's seventeen years old vs. eighty-four years old.
The 84-year-old old lady eats more salt than he eats rice.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing with each other, both of you." Dr. Agasa said with a smile, trying to smooth things over. He walked over with a large plate of freshly baked apple pie. In the hazy heat, the sweet aroma of apples and carbohydrates filled the air.
"Come on, come on, don't just stand there like an idiot. Come and try my new apple pie. I made this with love, using the freshest Shinshu apples and my own secret recipe."
Shinshu, Nagano Prefecture. Did the doctor go there again to help the Nagano trio solve the case? Providing technical support or something?
The sweet aroma of Shinshu apple pie instantly captured the attention of everyone in the living room.
The young Taotie Yuantai was the first to cheer, stood up and rushed directly towards the apple pie.
Great is Daigenta. A true example of a hard worker. At this moment, the suspicion of Karasuma Genta has been reduced by 10,086.
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko temporarily forgot about their previous discussion and joined the battle for the food.
The daily routine of the young detective team: five minutes to solve a case, two hours to eat.
"Of course I have to taste the apple pie baked by the doctor himself." Hattori Heiji, the nobleman from Kansai said with a smile.
After all, at this moment, A dessert makes a detective detective.
Of course, if it is almond flavor, it may be more in line with the rice krispie style.
As the son of the director of the Osaka Prefectural Metropolitan Police Department, he has to deal with various dignitaries and greet and see them off in Kansai on a daily basis. He has seen a lot of things in the scenes, so naturally, he is familiar with the human relationships and worldly affairs.
If Heiji's family background were placed in "Dream of the Red Chamber", it would be a prominent local family.
Ancient times were different from modern times, and there was no such a complete police system. If we want to make an analogy, we can probably use the concept of the military system.
Hattori's father was in charge of local security, and in a big Kansai city like Osaka, his status was like that of Wang Ziteng, who was in charge of nine provinces. He was a local powerful figure with a large number of troops.
This young man of the "Osaka Governor" was completely controlled by Miss Kazuha, and Kazuha's father was also a high-ranking official.
After all, the work "Detective Conan" depicts the situation of Japan's upper class.
Haven't you seen Suzuki holding an art exhibition on the top of a tower, sailing a yacht on the beach in Izu? Even the Black Organization drives a Porsche 356A.
Huiyuan saw this clearly. As a mixed-race person, she always had a certain clarity of mind of an outsider.
"The descendants of politicians remain politicians, and the children of conglomerate chairmen remain chairmen. If this continues, no matter how time passes, Japan will never see true change."
A long time ago (maybe twenty years ago?), in "The Phantom of Baker Street", the melancholic Haibara, even in the virtual game "Cocoon", did not forget to make sharp criticisms of the phenomenon of solidified social classes in Japan.
A true, sober, dystopian princess.
I wonder if Vermouth will come with a rose in the future and ask, "Miss, is this the outline of class struggle that you dropped?"
The Suzuki Zaibatsu (the Sonoko family), the Kudo family (the elites in the literary and entertainment circles), the Hattori family (a family of police officials)... without exception, her words hit the nail on the head.
And this is exactly what Vermouth said last night, Neon Hereditary.
Huiyuan saw it clearly.
After all, she is an "outsider" who escaped from the dark organization.
He was born into a middle-class family. Although his parents were top-notch in the biomedical field, they still had to join the Black Organization to realize their career ambitions.
She can use the perspective of a calm bystander to see the shortcomings of this system and the absurd fate of many people who are bound by their background.
You see, Conan has solved more than 1,000 cases, but Mika’s cases are still endless.
Hattori Heiji grew up surrounded by criminal investigations. His father's resources opened the door to the world of detective work for him, while his mother's family heritage allowed him to refine his kendo skills. His abilities were nurtured by his family's rich heritage.
Of course, a 17-year-old high school student could actually beat those battle-hardened police officers of the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department in a kendo match. They were his father's subordinates and understood the ways of the world.
Neon country's hereditary system, living specimen.
However, the youthful spirit is always somewhat unruly. He hopes to prove his worth through his own strength, rather than relying on the halo of his father. Therefore, Hattori flaunts his title of "Kansai Detective," echoing Kudo Shinichi's Kanto title and secretly competing with him.
But at its core, he's still a beneficiary of this system of inheritance. Ultimately, his role as a detective is more like "a voice of justice for the powerful" than a rebel trying to completely break the rules. (Black Organization: cue me?)
So, this rebellion is like the runaway prince from Disney who did not forget to carry the black card with him when he ran away from home.
Seemingly reckless, but actually quite knowledgeable... With the son of the Osaka Prefectural Police Chief investigating a case, which department dares not cooperate? Say "My Superintendent Father" to unlock VIP access to the case.
Perhaps in the eyes of the children of the powerful, Mihua is nothing more than an immersive script-killing experience center.
When Conan enters a crime scene, he needs to act cute or rely on Takagi for support. Hattori Heiji only needs to show his face.
Kudo Shinichi comes from a typical intellectual elite family. His father, Kudo Yusaku, is a world-renowned mystery novelist, and his mother, Kudo Yukiko, is a world-renowned actress.
No matter how you look at it, it's not an ordinary family.
My Mystery Novelist Father and Oscar-Winning Actress Mother
Shinichi's talent for reasoning comes from Yusaku's logical thinking, and on the other hand, it is also inherited from Yukiko's superb acting skills.
Masterfully, he disguised the abilities of an elementary school student for thirty years in front of his childhood sweetheart. In essence, this was a good job of the Hawaii correspondence course that taught the skills of the previous generation of the family.
As for Suzuki Sonoko, she is self-explanatory. Going out with Xiaolan is probably like the story of a wealthy heiress going on an incognito tour.
Sometimes, the second daughter of the Suzuki family, who is as wealthy as a country, actually drags Xiaolan to queue up for discounts in department stores. It is really an experience of life.
You know, when Sonoko was born, she had her own trust on an overseas island and received pocket money every month.
This pocket money is naturally higher than the monthly salary of those senior white-collar workers who study hard for twenty years, work hard to get into the University of Tokyo, apply for various internships and apply for resumes before getting a job in a large company, and squeeze into the subway every morning during commuting time.
Think about what Huibara said, "The chairman's daughter is still the chairman after all." It's really insightful.
Sonoko's elder sister was already married and considered part of her husband's family. According to the rules of hereditary succession in Japan, it was likely that Sonoko, the second youngest, would inherit the family business.
Yuanzi, who seems heartless, is actually the heir to a trillion-dollar empire.
In "The Phantom of Baker Street", all the children are excitedly waiting to finish the VR game, but the seven-year-old version of Dr. Shiho Miyano is the only one who is worried about the country and the people.
At that time, among the group of children who were excitedly playing VR games, there was also a chaebol daughter named Yuanzi. She might have just wanted to take a break from her class status occasionally.
After all, dealing with the powerful and wealthy is very brain-consuming, so it is simpler and purer to get along with Xiaolan.
On one side, there is Huiyuan's eyes that see through everything.jpg
On one side, the swallows that once served in the halls of the Wang and Xie families flew into Beihua Town to solve the case.
But who in this room full of nobles and princes isn't a vested interest? This isn't a detective drama; it's clearly a large-scale documentary on Japan's hereditary system.
At this moment, Haibara looked at Hattori Heiji and suddenly remembered what Vermouth said to her in her dream, asking her if she wanted to take another path.
Regardless of the closeness of his relationship with Conan Hattori, at least there is no fundamental change in the path ahead.
In Japanese society, everything remains the same. My doctor told me that the price of rice has gone up again. When I first returned to Japan, I was shocked to see boxes of watermelon rinds sold individually in supermarkets. They actually separated the rinds and sold them separately. In the United States, watermelons are naturally sold individually.
And return to the Black Organization?
Speaking of how close our relationship is, although I have been with the Edogawa group for a few months (thirty years??), and our life has been relatively quiet and peaceful, we have only just met after all.
At the winery, she told Conan that she had lived under the surveillance of the Black Organization since she was a child. In a sense, she was not lying.
But after all, this is an organization I have been working in for 18 years, so I am very familiar with it.
And now, with Vermouth's protection, Gin can't do anything to her.
(Beijie is protecting you, feel free to put your hands on your hips.jpg)
If Vermouth had promised her safety, then in fact, her situation in the organization would be much better than the previous situation of the four-member family, helpless, without a team, without a mountain, and just a ruthless experimental machine.
Moreover, the organization is a large platform spanning the globe. What Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji know now is just the tip of the iceberg.
This big platform allows Shiho Miyano to realize her ambitions.
After all, she is a 19-year-old girl, a talented girl, and has a career that she loves. She doesn't want to spend her whole life in Mihua, following Conan to solve cases and being a background figure, such a boring life.
Just huh? It's a little weird.
What Vermouth was talking about as an alternative path was what she mentioned in Haibara’s dream.
Vermouth herself did not say such words to Haibara, so why did she suddenly have such divergent thoughts?
Could it be that he was stressed by the four words "Neon Hereditary"?
After all, everyone in the Black Organization is against these four words. After all, Miyano Shiho has been influenced by the organization for eighteen years.
Conan: But Haiyi Bara, you've lived in Mihua Town for 30 years. You've been an honorary resident of Mihua for 30 years. (Time warp warning.)
Haibara looked at Hattori Heiji, her mind working rapidly.
In terms of political status and social resources in Japan, Hattori's influence is slightly better than Kudo Shinichi's. In other words, he has a lot more influence.
After all, his father is the head of the Osaka police force, and although the Kudo family is well-known in the literary and art circles, their influence is ultimately limited.
The hereditary privileges of the Kansai Vinegar King.
No matter how thick the collection of Sherlock Holmes books in the Kudo family is, how can it compete with the power of the Superintendent General of the Hattori family?
This series can be renamed "The Detective's Dad Game" (Tactical Backward.jpg)
Haibara thought to himself that Hattori Heiji could be said to be a representative of the reformists under the hereditary system.
Not only did he inherit the family's glory, but he also added something new to the system with his own abilities, cleverly adapting to the 21st century Japanese society's desire for so-called "benign inheritance."
This allows those in power to naturally appoint talented individuals regardless of their nepotism, because they are, after all, powerful.
Huibara, who saw through all of this, held the English tea in her small hands and sighed.
