Chapter 99 Osaka Black Chicken Attack
"Doctor! Doctor! I know you're home, don't stay silent!"
Professor Agasa came out of the room, looking somewhat guilty. The old man couldn't stand the girl's constant pestering, so he agreed to act in the play with her. But it seems that Shinichi is indeed worthy of being called Shinichi; he wasn't fooled.
"Haha, it's Shinichi. Why are you so late today? I almost fell asleep waiting for you."
Ai Haibara, standing to the side, couldn't help but put her hand to her forehead. The doctor really wasn't suited to lying at all. Was this what some people called the naivety of the older generation of scientists?
They devote all their energy to scientific research, which is why they are relatively weak in other areas.
After some explanation, Conan finally learned Ai Haibara's true identity. Knowing very little about the Black Organization, he couldn't wait to ask this former core researcher of the Black Organization more about the organization.
Unfortunately, Ai Haibara didn't want to talk much about that painful place.
Moreover, Ai Haibara, who knows how powerful the organization is, does not want to cause bloodshed in Beika Town by leaking too much information about the organization.
Ai Haibara was unwilling to say more, and Conan couldn't possibly force her to ask. He was a model citizen and wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics.
That night, Ai Haibara, who was preparing to go to sleep, was suddenly awakened by a cry of pain.
"The sound seems to be coming from next door—"
Having just escaped the clutches of the organization, Ai Haibara immediately tensed up and secretly pulled back the curtains to look at the next room.
Unfortunately, it was too dark to see anything.
Ai Haibara hurriedly went to find the professor, who was snoring loudly, and learned that it was Conan receiving special training. She couldn't help but change her opinion of the detective.
Although I don't think it's very useful, this kind of hard work is still commendable.
Early morning, Akutagawa Detective Agency.
After hanging up Ran's call, Akutagawa Hiko looked at Hattori Heiji, who seemed to be on a tour, and Conan, who was full of energy and showed no signs of a cold, and fell into deep thought.
Could it be that the special training these days has improved Conan's physical condition, which is why he hasn't caught a cold?
If Conan drinks Lao Bai Gan (a type of Chinese liquor) when he has a cold, he will temporarily turn back into Shinichi Kudo. This could be a key clue for Ai Haibara to invent a temporary antidote later on.
But now that the Osaka detective has come knocking on our door, and Conan isn't even sick, Hattori Heiji naturally won't feed Conan any cheap liquor.
Without this clue, the progress of developing the antidote shouldn't be slowed down, right?
Akutagawa Hiko doesn't mind. The later Conan turns back, the more reputation he gains, which is basically free. However, some key plot points seem to require Shinichi Kudo to appear and unlock.
Perhaps I could mention it to Ai Haibara, and things will work themselves out in the end; we'll see how it goes then.
"In short, I, the famous high school detective from Kansai, am here to challenge you, or perhaps the Shinichi Kudo hiding behind you!"
Heiji Hattori began his analysis on his own: "I noticed that when Shinichi Kudo almost disappeared from the public eye, that was when you started to become famous. Coincidences are the last thing we detectives want, so it must be Kudo who was guiding you behind the scenes!"
Justified and convincing.
Unfortunately, neither Conan nor Akutagawa Hiko paid much attention to this guy who was talking to himself.
Akutagawa Hiko remembered that when Kudo Shinichi was young, he fought against a young Hattori Heiji, and the fight ended in a draw. However, at that time, neither of them knew the other's identity.
Furthermore, perhaps because the environment in Osaka is too peaceful, there aren't many murder cases, so in terms of experience in this area...
Heiji Hattori has lost ground; Conan is now in a stronger position.
Hattori Heiji glanced suspiciously at the composed Akutagawa Hiko. If it was an act, then his acting skills were simply too good.
Surely everyone's not stupid that they haven't been discovered for so long.
If someone really was giving him pointers, surely someone would eventually notice his unusual behavior, even if it was just a little habit he developed while solving a case.
It should also be reported as a unique feature.
Perhaps we could find a case and put it to the test on the spot. Then it would be crystal clear whether it's a donkey or a horse.
However, he is ultimately a student with a heavy academic workload, and sometimes he encounters unexpected cases. His family is also quite strict, so it's not easy for him to find time to come to Tokyo, and he doesn't have any ready-made cases at the moment.
Heiji Hattori didn't need to worry about whether there were any cases that provided a platform for competition; Hiko Akutagawa had a premonition that a visitor would definitely come to the detective agency today.
How could two high school detectives with a knack for causing incidents not be triggered when they get together?
Without keeping Akutagawa Hikaru waiting any longer, a woman who looked to be in her fifties, wearing a brown trench coat and sunglasses as a disguise, walked in. Akutagawa Hikaru was already very familiar with the reception process. After sending Conan to get some snacks, Akutagawa Hikaru made the lady a cup of black tea.
It was clear that the client was quite satisfied with Akutagawa's hospitality and praised him for his youth and talent, saying he truly deserved to be the renowned detective praised by all the friends he met at the banquet.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the woman named Qiancun Gongjiang took out a photo and a resume: "I would like to ask you to help investigate the character of my son's girlfriend. This is her information."
Akutagawa Hiko took it and glanced at it briefly: "Ms. Katsuragi Sachiko, you are 24 years old this year. You graduated first in your class from both Mitsuba Junior High School and Mitsuba High School, and you are currently studying at Toto Medical College—."
Moreover, she aspires to become a female doctor who can heal the sick and save lives.
In any case, this resume is truly impressive; both the appearance and the abilities are impeccable.
Akutagawa asked, "Is there anything you're dissatisfied with? Forgive my bluntness, but judging from this resume and introduction alone, this Ms. Katsuragi can even be described as perfect."
Komura Koe sighed and said, "There's nothing I'm dissatisfied with, but—"
Hattori Heiji, not to be outdone, chimed in: "It's just because she's too perfect that I can't stand her. Humans are inherently suspicious and jealous creatures; when they see someone who's too perfect, they can't help but want to find fault."
Hattori Heiji, as if he had won some victory, confidently said to Komura Kimie, "Am I right, madam?"
Qiancun Gongjiang asked with dissatisfaction, "Who is this person?"
Akutagawa Hiko shook his head. This high school detective, who was still going through his chuunibyou phase, had made him sound like he was no longer human after what he said.
Perhaps he knew that such words could easily offend people, but he didn't care at all. Who would bother arguing with a high school student like him? It would only make them look foolish.
Although he was a murderer about to kill someone, he was still a guest, so we had to protect him: "Just like he said, he's someone who can't stand seeing others being too perfect and comes here to cause trouble."
