The rich life experience of a middle-aged man made Kogoro Maori realize that this girl was unusual at that time.
A few days later, Wu Wanying came to him and hoped to be his assistant.
But this is not what Karasuma Ying said at the beginning. What she said at the beginning was that she hoped Maori Kogoro could take her in temporarily for a few days, and during this time she could serve as Maori Kogoro's detective assistant or something like that...
Kogoro Mori originally wanted to refuse this unreasonable request, but when he saw that the girl seemed to have some compelling reasons, he softened his heart and agreed to her request.
In other words, the fact that Karasuma Ying became Mori Kogoro's assistant was actually just temporary at the beginning, but somehow it became a long-term thing.
Not only did Wu Wanying really become his assistant, but he also started to pay her a salary, although this girl did a pretty good job...
Having said that, Kogoro Mori actually still had some doubts in his heart.
He always felt that Wu Wanying's identity was not ordinary, and he always doubted whether it was a good thing to let this girl stay here...
Therefore, on the morning of the party at Ed's company, he pretended to ask her casually when she would be home.
And Wu Wanying's answer at that time was also very normal, he didn't ask anything.
What a troublesome girl...
Kogoro Mori didn't know what to do.
But come to think of it, it is impossible for such a little girl with a mysterious and special identity to get into trouble in such a small country, right?
"Dad, here."
"Huh? Oh oh..."
Ran Mouri's voice brought Kogoro Mouri back from his distraction.
There didn't seem to be many passengers on this train, and there were even fewer people in their carriage No. 2. Excluding Maori's family, there were no more than ten passengers in the entire carriage.
The train has two seats, with Ran Mouri and Conan's seats being connected, and Kogoro Mouri's seat being in the same row as the two of them but on the other side of the aisle.
Sitting next to Kogoro Mouri is a young and beautiful office lady.
The woman was wearing a tight-fitting women's suit and glasses. She was very beautiful and looked young, probably no more than thirty years old.
There was a laptop on the woman's lap. She seemed to be working, her eyes fixed on the computer screen and her hands typing on the keyboard.
It was not until Kogoro Mori walked beside him that the woman finally noticed something. She raised her head and looked at him. Their eyes met. The woman's absolutely beautiful face made Kogoro Mori stunned for a moment.
But as a steady middle-aged man, even when he suddenly saw such a beautiful woman, Kogoro Mori did not lose his composure. He quickly reacted, smiled faintly, raised his hand to adjust his tie, and sat down in an elegant posture.
Just when he was about to think about what to say, the woman spoke first.
"Are you... Mr. Maori Kogoro?"
In this book, the only person who can appear with both a "laptop" and a "women's suit" is that person! (Hint)
Chapter 210 A Special Train Journey
"Are you... Mr. Maori Kogoro?"
In the train, the OL sitting next to Maori Kogoro asked, which made Maori Kogoro stunned, but soon he reacted again with a calm smile of a middle-aged man on his face.
"Yes, I am Maori Kogoro, a detective of some fame..."
"It's you indeed!"
After hearing what he said, the woman's face suddenly showed a look of joy, and she became a little excited.
"My name is Shimizu Akiko, Mr. Mori! I have always been your fan! I will watch every mystery of yours reported by the police! But, but this is the first time I have met you face to face like this! Oh, sorry, I seem to have lost my composure, I am really sorry..."
"Haha! It's okay, it's okay! It's my honor to have such a beautiful fan like you, Miss Shimizu! Hahaha..."
Kogoro Mori smiled proudly, while Akiko Shimizu beside him felt a little shy because of his compliments.
"Mr. Maori, you are too kind..."
"Haha! Miss Qingshui, you are too modest. There are not many beautiful women like you in this world..."
"Please don't say that... Oh, by the way, Mr. Maori, can you give me an autograph?"
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Since it's Ms. Qingshui's request, it doesn't matter how many you sign."
While the two were chatting animatedly, Mao Lilan, who was less than one meter away in the aisle, was watching this scene and was so angry that she was about to burst into flames.
"dad……"
Staring at Kogoro Mori who was courting Shimizu Akiko, Mori Ran clenched her fists so hard that they made a creaking sound.
"Haha..." Conan also turned his head to look at the scene, grinned and let out an ambiguous laugh.
[Uncle really doesn't change his bad habits... huh? ]
Conan suddenly saw someone out of the corner of his eye, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.
[Officer Takagi? 】
At the train door behind him, Takagi Wataru also walked into the same carriage.
[Why is Officer Takagi here? Isn't he following Freya's group? Are they also on this train?]
Without noticing Mori and his group, Takagi Wataru walked straight towards carriage number three as soon as he got on the train.
"Sister Xiaolan, I'm going to the bathroom."
Conan, confused and solemn, said this to Mouri Ran, then jumped off his seat and followed her.
He didn't notice at all that Shimizu Akiko, who was chatting with Mori Kogoro at the moment, glanced at him slightly.
Following Takagi Wataru, Conan came to carriage number three.
There were also very few passengers in this carriage, including Freya and the other two whom Conan had met before.
"As expected, they are also on this train." Looking at them, Conan suddenly spoke.
Since Freya and the other two had their backs to Conan and Takagi Wataru at the time, they did not notice their arrival.
"Yeah." Takagi Wataru nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized something was wrong. He suddenly looked down at Conan who had a serious expression on his face beside him, and his eyes widened.
"Conan?!"
With a low exclamation, Takagi Wataru quickly took Conan to a seat nearby and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here? Where is Detective Mori? This is the train to Kyoto!"
"Don't be nervous, Officer Takagi, we are just going to Kyoto on the way." Conan explained to him simply.
"So that's how it is. You are going to attend the promotional meeting..." After hearing his explanation, Takagi Shigeru sighed softly.
Could such a coincidence happen?
"So, Officer Takagi, why are they on this train?"
"Well... I don't know either. I just followed them all the way, and then somehow got on this train, haha..." Takagi Shigeru replied somewhat embarrassedly.
"Yeah." Conan nodded, not surprised by the answer, and continued to ask: "Did they meet anyone along the way? Or did they make phone calls or other external communications?"
"None." Takagi Wataru shook his head and answered truthfully: "After leaving the cafe, they came directly to the station."
Conan's expression became even more serious when he heard this.
They had already been given the deadline to leave the country, but they still got on the train to Kyoto. What were these three people trying to do by running around?
Especially Freya, she didn't seem to have the slightest intention of hiding her identity, just wandering around so blatantly, could it be...
Whose attention are they trying to attract?
Suddenly, Conan realized this possibility.
But who could it be? The police? Another Onimare?
"Hiccup~"
Just as Conan was thinking, another passenger walked into the carriage.
It was a middle-aged Mediterranean uncle, fat and big-eared with a sickly red face. He was wearing a suit, holding a red wine glass in one hand and holding a seat in the aisle with the other, and walking forward unsteadily.
When he walked in front of Freya and the other two, the uncle suddenly stopped and turned to look at Freya who was closest to him.
"Oh~ What a pretty girl~ Do you want to have a drink with me?"
The uncle leaned against Freya's chair, holding a wine glass, looking at her with a smile, his expression a little obscene.
"Don't be silent, okay?"
It was obvious that his behavior constituted sexual harassment. Just as Takagi Shigeru was hesitating whether to go up and stop him now, another passenger came over from the opposite carriage No. 4.
The passenger was a young man with short hair and looked like an ordinary office worker.
"Hey! That uncle!"
The office worker seemed to have a strong sense of justice. As soon as he saw the Mediterranean uncle who was harassing Freya, he walked up angrily and grabbed him by the collar.
"What do you want to do? Openly harassing women on the train? Do you believe that I will call the police right now?!"
"what?!"
Being grabbed and frightened by the office worker, the Mediterranean uncle's hand shook and the red wine glass in his hand fell out, and some of the red wine spilled on the office worker's shirt.
"Tsk! You bastard!"
"S-Sorry!"
Finally sobering up, the uncle looked at the scene in front of him and was shocked. He quickly broke free from the office worker's hand and ran back to his carriage number four without looking back.
"whispering sound!"
Glancing at the old man unhappily, the office worker looked at Freya apologetically and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble, young lady."
"It's okay, thank you." Freya smiled.
"Miss, I'm glad you're okay."
After saying this, the office worker didn't say anything else. He bent down to pick up the red wine glass on the ground, then stood up and left.
However, no one noticed.
As the office worker bent down to pick up the wine glass, he quietly placed a bug under Freya's seat.
Thanks to the leader of the silver alliance. Updates will be added starting from tomorrow!
Tsk, I was so excited that I even wrote the wrong number in the title (﹃)
