Chapter 224 The Organization's Daily Life
Time flies...
During the time Conan was hospitalized, Beika Town was relatively peaceful for a few days...
Inside the Metropolitan Police Department.
Inspector Megure leaned back in his chair, looking quite relaxed as he glanced at his phone.
"Inspector Megure, would you like a cup of coffee?" Inspector Shiratori walked over, carrying two steaming cups of coffee.
“Oh, Shiratori-kun,” Inspector Megure sat up straight and nodded, “Give me a drink…”
Officer Shiratori nodded... and handed over the coffee he was holding.
Then, the two of them sat in the office, enjoying the air conditioning, in soft chairs, and drinking coffee.
A comfortable and relaxing atmosphere filled my whole body...
"Inspector Megure..." Inspector Shiratori suddenly opened his slightly narrowed eyes and asked, "Do you sense anything strange...?"
"Strange?" Inspector Megure frowned...
"Recently, there have been virtually no murders in Beika Town," Inspector Shiratori said. "At least a week now... Unlike before, there was basically a murder every two days or so..."
"Yeah, Beika Town's been too peaceful these days." Inspector Megure patted his stomach, then pinched it. "I feel like I've gained a few pounds..."
"But that's good too..." Inspector Megure picked up his coffee and took a sip. "At least the security situation has improved a lot..."
"No... I mean, Conan is in the hospital." Inspector Shiratori swallowed hard and said.
A few days ago... he also discussed this issue with Wataru Takagi.
No, it was Wataru Takagi who initiated the discussion with him...
As a result, the more they investigated, the more they discovered that something was wrong.
They even took out files from previous cases to review... and discovered that, it seemed, cases were occurring frequently in Beika Town after Conan's arrival.
Moreover, Conan's shadow is behind every case.
It's terrifying to think about...
"Ahem..." Inspector Megure coughed twice. "It's just a coincidence."
He had actually thought so for a long time, but he didn't say it because of his position as a police officer.
It's not just Conan... even Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri have been cast as jinxes by him.
There's really no way around it... it's like you're going to die wherever you go.
"Um... Inspector Megure," Shiratori Ninzaburo began, "didn't you visit Conan a few days ago...when was he discharged from the hospital?"
"It seems like today..." Inspector Megure said, then fell silent.
As his younger brother who had always been by his side, he knew what the other person wanted to do from the very first sentence they said.
If a case were to occur today... then Conan would truly be unable to escape the title of "plague god."
Recently, the Metropolitan Police Department has been vaguely spreading rumors about the Mori family.
Oh, and some police officers even compared Conan to a post on the internet...
The post was titled 'A Born Evil Little Brat.'
Didi didi...
Just then, the phone rang, and the operator quickly answered it.
"Inspector Megure...a death has occurred at the XXX convenience store!"
Inspector Megure:.........
Officer Shiratori:.........
...........
Inside the training base, Fuhesh was playing a game with Chianti and Cohen.
Xiaolan, on the other hand, was supporting herself on her knees... her eyes were shining.
As for why Lan is here...
That's because a few days ago... when she went on a date with Shen'erge, she quit her job at the convenience store, which wasn't originally hers.
This led to the store manager making things difficult for her at every turn... and not giving her her original salary.
With Conan hospitalized, Ran had no time to worry about anything else.
Today... after Conan was discharged from the hospital, Ran had no energy left to ask for her wages, but the shop manager still made things difficult for her at every turn, and his eyes wandered over her very rudely... making some unreasonable demands.
Then... Shen'erge happened to pass by...
He said, "Go wait outside."
Xiao Lan also obediently went outside to wait.
As a result... Xiaolan had no idea.
Shen Ge stuffed a lot of banknotes into his hand...
Naïve Xiaolan believed that Shen'erge had won over the other party with his 'love and peace'.
"Shen'erge is really amazing..."
After defeating Chianti in a combo, Xiaolan's eyes lit up... and she couldn't help but praise him.
As the unicorn girl gazed at him with tender and adoring eyes, Fuheishen's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Tch, not playing well today." Chianti curled her lip and looked at Xiaolan. "How about we play a couple of rounds?"
Cointreau's skills are about the same as Gin's... It's normal that she can't beat him.
But she likes to be stubborn.
However... as for this one-horned high school girl, she felt she could do whatever she wanted.
After all, he's in high school... so he probably doesn't have much time to play games, and he looks like a beginner.
Play a couple of matches against the opponent to boost your confidence...
Fuheshel slightly lifted his eyelids...and looked at Chianti, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, what... did you think I couldn't beat your little girlfriend?" Chianti shook the remote a few times... and glanced at Xiaolan.
Xiaolan, who was about to refuse, paused after hearing the other person's words, her cheeks flushing red. "No... not yet..."
Cohen looked up at the two of them for a moment... then lowered his head again, seemingly lost in thought.
Noticing Lan's hesitation, Fuheshen'er stood up, hunching over, and brought his mouth close to her ear, "Lan, demonstrate the power of an angel..."
Upon hearing this, Xiaolan's heart started racing again.
Seriously, what kind of angelic power is this... Does Shen'erge see himself as an angel?
How naive. She's just an ordinary, one-woman high school girl.
"I'll listen to Brother Shen." Xiao Lan nodded emphatically, sat down, and picked up the controller...
Ten minutes later...
"Damn it, it's lagging! Why is it lagging?!" Chianti shouted, his eyes bloodshot and almost touching the screen.
Every time it came to the most crucial moment... her consciousness would go blank for a moment, and after she came to her senses... she would already be defeated by the one-horned high school girl in front of her.
Just when she was about to win... her computer screen suddenly froze again??
She's about to explode...
However, Chianti was stunned when she noticed that the girl in front of her suddenly stopped playing... and then died at her hands, essentially feeding the enemy kill...
"That's amazing..." Xiaolan said with a smile.
Chianti's mouth gaped slightly as she looked behind Ran, where it seemed as if angel wings were unfolding.
He noticed Xiaolan's smile slowly disappear... as she stared intently at the tattoo that was hidden by her hair.
"Are you curious about this?" Chianti tossed her hair aside and said casually, "It's just a scar, it's not pretty... I covered it up with a tattoo."
Xiaolan remained silent for a while...
Since they're using tattoos to cover it up, they obviously still mind... After all, who wouldn't care about their face?
