Conan's New Police Story

Chapter 21 The first meeting with Kogoro Mori
"So, shouldn't this be your own problem? What's the matter with your senior alumni?"

Tokyo, rice flower town, Iroha sushi restaurant.

Taking off the down jacket and pulling the neckline of the turtleneck sweater, he opened the chair and sat down. Asao, who had regained his boyish body, was no longer in the voice of Yujie. He raised his eyes in surprise.

"What? Am I wrong?"

The camouflage of long hair has faded away, the slightly soft facial features are neutralized by the neat hair, and the figure under the brown-black turtleneck sweater is no longer uneven.

This magic show, which can be called a big change, made Yuan Keji amazed: "Who are you on the side with? I told you that these are for you to follow along and help me scold people in private, not for you to be with me." I'm telling the truth."

"It's you who complained that the alumni and seniors didn't support you. I just followed your train of thought and analyzed it."

After getting rid of the knot in his heart, Aso was obviously in a good mood. He spread his hands pretending to be helpless, his brows and eyes full of ridicule: "If you can show more performance this year, you won't even be able to kill the Keio Alumni Association in the Metropolitan Police Department." I haven’t participated in it before, and the ability I showed in Moon Shadow Island clinic is obvious to all the director.”

"Correct me, I participated once, but I don't want to go later if I feel boring."

After sketching, Katsumi Uehara pushed the menu and pen in front of his friend, and lazily corrected him: "This profession is different from your doctors. As long as I don't make any extremely outrageous and unforgivable mistakes, I can be promoted in the end, and the salary will be higher. It’s not low, so there’s no need.”

"Is a false job counted as a job?"

"Why, a lot of basic salary is not money?"

"It's the first time I've seen a professional police officer like you who doesn't pursue anything but loves to complain." Ma Sheng, who ticked off two items randomly, shook his head, "Just lie down and wait for the pie to fall from the sky, right?"

"It's rare for you to see this. There are more policemen in the Metropolitan Police Department who are better than me, and many of them are in high positions."

Katsumi Uehara, who snapped his fingers to greet the waiter at the sushi restaurant, didn't care: "Otherwise, how do you think the Metropolitan Police Department spends so much money every year?"

Aso thought about it for a while, and it was the same reason: "No wonder that high school student named Shinichi Kudo can be hailed as the savior of your Tokyo police."

It is easy to understand if they are all a group of drunks and rice bags. Of course, this does not rule out the fact that the media deliberately disgusted the Metropolitan Police Department and even praised Kudo Shinichi.

"However, you don't need to be inferior to them." Recalling all kinds of things on Moon Shadow Island, Ma Sheng, who handed the menu to the waiter, glanced at his friend: "Otherwise, your skills trained in the police academy are not good enough." Is it in vain?"

"When a case comes to me, I won't refuse it, but I'm too lazy to be as active as my colleagues." Uehara Katsumi felt that Aso Shi probably misunderstood him a little bit.

"I'm more curious, will a character like yours be the legendary thorn in the police academy?"

"No."

"Have you ever had a fight?"

"... beat."

Ma Chengshi, whose campus life was a pool of stagnant water since he was a child, suddenly brightened when he heard the words: "Tell me in detail?"

"There's nothing to say, but just before graduation, he beat up No.1 in our class with a sack." Uehara Katsumi obviously didn't want to talk about his dark past, after all, being punished is not something to show off.

However, what he said made Ma Cheng stunned: "Are you not the number one in your class?"

Judging from the performance on Moon Shadow Island alone, he always thought that Katsumi Uehara was number one in the class.

"Of course not, I am ranked third." Uehara Katsumi shrugged, not shrugging his past achievements: "Shooting and fighting are a little bit worse."

"...Are you still a bit weak in fighting? What kind of god is the first two?" Hearing this, Ma Sheng felt a little unbelievable.

Shooting is fine, after all, the gun battle on Moon Shadow Island is not intuitive, but he has seen the actual combat results of Katsumi Uehara.

"No, you are not as good as No.1 in fighting, how did you beat him?"

"Stop talking, put on a sack." Katsumi Uehara, who had no martial arts virtues at all, sipped his tea and spoke with confidence.

"..."

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really his style. The corners of Asakusa's eyes twitched a few times.

It's just that a dignified police academy was brought down by a sack for the first time... Although I was curious about what conflicts happened between the two, Aso, who seemed to be unwilling to talk about this topic, did not continue to ask .

after all--

"Boss, the old rules, a special sushi, a glass of draft beer!"

While the two were talking, a figure with an extremely loud voice lifted the curtain of the sushi restaurant, walked in carelessly, and sat down with a big horse.

"Hey, it's a Maori detective. Is it special sushi today? It seems that the horse race is very profitable." Seeing that he was an old acquaintance, the manager of the sushi restaurant came out of the kitchen and said with a smile.

"Haha, no, no. It's just that a kidnapping case was solved a few days ago, and the other party just paid me a large sum of money out of gratitude, so I came here to celebrate."

The middle-aged man with two mustaches around his lips spoke very pleased, and his triumphant laughter also attracted the attention of many customers in the sushi restaurant.

Among them, there is Uehara Katsumi.

"What are you looking at? You are so engrossed. Do you know that uncle?"

Sitting directly opposite to his friend, Asahi was holding a plate of wasabi dipped in it. Seeing this, he couldn't help but teased, "I don't know what kind of beauty I thought you were looking for, you can't take your eyes off it."

"I know him, but unfortunately he doesn't know me."

Katsumi Uehara, who came back to his senses, took the plate with a smile, and tapped the end of the chopsticks on the sushi plate: "Do you know who he is?"

Aso took a bite of the sushi and blinked: "It's a big background? It looks like the material of the suit is very ordinary."

"The police academy's shooting record holder has been at least 20 years now." Katsumi Uehara pointed his right thumb vaguely at the uncle Xianshi who was talking with the store manager: "I saw him in the record book when he was young. Photo."

"he?"

Seeing this, Aso couldn't help but look at Mouri Kogoro twice more.

The unshaven beard obviously hasn't been taken care of very much, the material of the suit is ordinary, and the temperament is obviously a little decadent. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the genius-like character that Uehara Katsumi said.

"Are you sure he's a cop?"

"It used to be, and it was also in the third department. It can be regarded as my senior. He left the job more than ten years ago."

Ma Cheng's heart suddenly became clear.

Since he is a genius senior, there is nothing to say. In his shallow understanding, even if such a genius-like person leaves his job, there should be many legends left behind. As a junior working in the same department, Uehara Katsumi would recognize this face and not strangeness.

"Ok?"

Kogoro Mori, who had just finished talking with the owner of the sushi restaurant, vaguely felt that someone was talking about his past behind his back, so he couldn't help but turned his head and looked at the lobby of the sushi restaurant.

There are not many guests at a glance.

Katsumi Uehara, who was talking honestly with Aso, happened to raise his eyes, meeting the gazes of Kogoro Mori's conversation.

Eye contact instantly.

Kogoro Mori scratched his head, the doubts and puzzlement in his heart were completely dissipated in the draft beer and sushi brought by the sushi restaurant owner.
