Chapter 713: Maori Kogoro's Disciple
Maori Detective Agency.
Kogoro Mouri was watching TV and a news report about a bank robbery was playing on the screen.
After watching for a while, Maori Kogoro felt a little bored, turned off the TV, lit a cigarette, and sighed, "Really, Beika Town has been too uneasy recently. This news has been broadcasting non-stop since this morning."
Mao Lilan came over and agreed with what he said, but she also said helplessly: "What can we do? This robbery happened less than a week ago, and a bank employee was shot and killed."
Maori Kogoro exhaled and said, "I remember that the man seemed to be trying to stop the robbers by showing off his bravery, so he was shot, right?"
"I don't think he wanted to resist." Conan popped up from behind Mao Lilan, "Because according to the customers who were doing business at the bank at that time, he raised his hands like this, and it looked like he was begging the criminal to say, OK, stop it."
Then he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
Maori Kogoro said disdainfully: "But this will only cause dissatisfaction among the prisoners. Shooting him is no different from resistance, right?"
Click, and the door of the office was opened.
"But people still can't do bad things. I heard that most of the 2 million yen that was stolen were new banknotes shipped from the head office. The serial numbers of those banknotes can be easily identified."
Ran Mouri and Conan looked at the person who walked in in a daze.
Maori Kogoro hadn't noticed that there was another person in the room. Hearing this, he subconsciously agreed: "Yes, if they rob the money that they dare not use, it will only be a matter of time before those robbers are caught."
He was suddenly stunned, and turned around to see Toru Amuro standing behind him with a plate of sandwiches and a smile on his face.
"No, why are you here?" asked Kogoro Mouri with his eyes wide open.
Amuro Toru said with a smile: "In order to thank Mr. Maori for taking care of me during this period, I specially sent a sandwich as lunch. Of course, it was my personal treat."
Mao Lilan saw a large plate of sandwiches and said in surprise: "Wow, are there even portions for me and Conan?"
Amuro Toru smiled and said, "Of course!"
Mao Lilan clasped her hands together and smiled until her eyes narrowed: "Thank you very much!"
"No, no, for Mr. Maori's sake, these are just small matters."
Conan, who was standing next to him, had his eyes empty and was speechless, thinking, isn't this guy too casual?
Even though he is the owner of a detective agency, he actually came here to become Maori Kogoro's apprentice.
Speaking of this matter, it all started after the incident at the pre-wedding celebration party that day.
After seeing Yuya's brilliant reasoning on the spot, Toru Amuro suddenly got excited and chased after him, wanting to ask Yuya to be his disciple.
At that time, even the address was changed from Yuya-kun to Kamiya-sensei.
Youya was shocked. He didn't dare to accept Toru Amuro as his disciple.
Not to mention that Toru Amuro himself has a good reasoning ability, but as a public security officer, his thinking is inevitably limited because of his identity, and Yuya actually has nothing to teach Toru Amuro.
Besides, Yuya has a lot of secrets around him, Miyano Shiho, Miyano Akemi, and...
Any exposure of this information will cause huge trouble.
Although Toru Amuro is a trustworthy person, he is still a member of the organization after all, so it is always a bit inconvenient.
Faced with Yuya's repeated refusals, Toru Amuro had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and seek out Kogoro Mori to become his apprentice.
Of course Youye wanted to stop it, but he couldn't think of any good excuse, so he could only let things develop on their own.
However, he also reminded Conan that although Toru Amuro was not a bad person, he could not reveal his identity so as not to attract the attention of the organization.
Conan naturally agreed without hesitation. As for whether he would forget about it after encountering an incident, Yuu couldn't control that.
He really couldn't hide it any longer, so it wouldn't matter if Toru Amuro knew the truth, but Yu didn't want to do that unless it was absolutely necessary.
Amuro Toru put down the sandwich and looked at Maori Kogoro with a smile: "Speaking of which, Maori teacher, what kind of case will today's client have?"
"Ah?" Maori Kogoro looked at him in surprise, "How did you know that a client would come?"
Amuro Toru smiled and said, "Of course I can see that. Normally, on weekends at noon, you, Mr. Maori, would be lazily reading the newspaper with horse racing news.
But today he shaved his beard, put on a suit, and tied his tie neatly. Doesn't he look like he's waiting for someone to visit him?"
Mao Lilan said with great admiration: "Mr. Amuro is really amazing. I don't think it's necessary for you to become my father's apprentice?"
Amuro Toru waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I still have a lot to learn. Besides, if Yuya-kun was not unwilling to accept me as his apprentice..."
"Hmm, cough!" Kogoro Mouri suddenly coughed and looked at Toru Amuro with a squint.
Amuro Toru realized that he had said something wrong and said with a wry smile: "I can see all this because of Mr. Maori's good teaching every day!"
Maori Kogoro held a cigarette in his mouth and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, you have worked hard, Amuro."
Amuro Toru immediately smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, teacher!"
Conan on the side laughed and lowered his dead eyes: Because Youya was unwilling to accept a disciple, you came to Uncle Kogoro. After all, did this sloppy uncle really teach you anything?
Amuro Toru continued, "And if we go further, this time is exactly the live broadcast time of Ms. Okino Yoko's concert, but this customer can make Mr. Maori give up watching the live broadcast. It should be a pretty big case, right?"
"Ah!!!!" Kogoro Mouri stood up suddenly and a sharp explosion came out of his mouth.
Toru Amuro, Conan and Ran Mouri were so frightened that they almost jumped up.
In the blink of an eye, Kogoro Mouri quickly put on the fan support suit, turned on the TV and tuned to the live broadcast channel. The scene of Yoko Okino singing and dancing immediately appeared on the screen.
While watching, he shouted excitedly: "Go Go Let's Go Let's Go, Yoko!"
The expression on Amuro Toru's face almost couldn't be restrained. He leaned back slightly and asked Mao Lilan tentatively: "What is the situation..."
Mao Lilan smiled and said, "In fact, he staggered the meeting time with the client just to watch the live broadcast."
Conan lowered his dead eyes with a look of contempt on his face: This uncle is just as casual!
After a while, the live broadcast of the concert ended.
Kogoro Mouri sat down, drank some water to moisten his hoarse throat, then lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, with a satisfied expression on his face.
