A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 284 I am also required for work
"What is Xiaobai, a pet?"

"It's almost like a dog, it's for Xiao Ai to relieve boredom."

Noah doesn't want to publicize Xiaobai's breed too much, as it will cause unnecessary trouble.

When he came to the living room, the doctor saw Xiaobai in Noah's mouth. He felt that this dog was a little different from the dogs he usually saw, but he couldn't tell the specifics.

"Have Hattori and the others returned to Osaka?"

"No, a few of them went on a trip, and I don't know exactly where they went."

"Why didn't you go with me?"

"The four of them are in pairs, what am I going to do, be a light bulb?"

Noah and the doctor sat on the sofa and watched a few children playing with Xiaobai, chatting with each other. He has no plans for today.

When I was in a panic, I saw the remote control beside me and pressed the switch.

To Noah's surprise, he actually saw several familiar figures on the screen.

Officer Megure, Officer Shiratori, Officer Otaki, and someone Noah hadn’t seen before, but they were at the same level as the previous ones, and it seemed that they were holding a press conference.

"Did something happen? It looks so grand."

"I don't know. It seems that nothing major has happened in Tokyo recently."

Noah glanced at the doctor speechlessly, and you touched your conscience and said, is there anything trivial about what happened in Tokyo?

The reporters on the TV began to ask questions constantly. The four-person team of police officers Mumu who were being interviewed looked serious and answered the questions in a satisfactory manner. It was obvious that they had planned their responses in advance.

But how could the reporter play cards according to the routine? The problem became more and more serious. The faces of the few people on the stage began to look ugly and became a little difficult to resist. The development of the matter was beyond their expectations.

When several people bowed their heads in silence, Toshiro Odagiri, the head of the criminal department of the Metropolitan Police Department, stepped onto the stage to help everyone out of the siege, and at the same time announced the details of the incident to the public.

The incident started three days ago. Abominable homicide cases occurred in Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. There were five dead. From the point of view of the method, these cases were all committed by one person.

If that was the case, the Metropolitan Police Department might not have held such a big press conference.

After investigation, it was found that the five deceased were members of Genji Hotaru, a thieves group that was famous in Japan a few years ago.

Genji Hotaru became known to the world in the third year of Heisei, and the items they stole were generally precious works of art.

Different from other thieves groups, Genji Hotaru retreated bravely when her reputation reached its peak, and suddenly disappeared without a trace. No matter how the police investigate, there is no clue.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, they reappeared in the eyes of the world in the form of a murder case.

The purpose of the press conference held by the Metropolitan Police Department this time is to capture the remaining members of Genji Hotaru and retrieve the lost artwork. According to known clues, the murderer should also be a member of Genji Hotaru.

"Doctor, do you know Genji Hotaru, a group of thieves?"

"I heard something before. It is said that they are called the retainers in Yoshitsune. There are eight people in total, and the leader is called Yoshitsune. The news about them in the past few years can be described as overwhelming, but they are all gossip. Few of them are true. of."

"I've met members of this group before in the group."

Haibara's voice sounded beside the two, and she heard their discussions.

"Is this a subsidiary department of your organization?"

"No, he came to trade with the organization. I remember Gin called him Benkei, but he has a mask on his face, so he can't see his real face."

"If it is according to the saying in Yoshitsune, Benkei should be the confidant of the leader Yoshitsune."

Noah nodded thoughtfully. Since he can be related to the organization, it seems that the things stolen by this group of thieves should be priceless, otherwise, how could the organization take care of a group of thieves.

The press conference on TV ended under the guarantee of Toshiro Odagiri. This time, the Genji Hotaru case had a great impact and involved a wide range of areas. For this reason, they gathered the elite police departments of the three places to solve the case as soon as possible.

"Doctor, doctor, let's go to Kyoto."

While talking, Yuantai and the others led Xiaobai over and yelled, probably attracted by something fun again.

"Why are you going to Kyoto?"

"because this."

Ayumi spread out the magazine in her hand, it said that Kyoto is holding a celebration for the past two days, and the picture looks really attractive.

"This isn't fun."

The doctor's face was troubled, he didn't really want to go, he also participated in the Kyoto celebration before, but when he got there, he found that it was not as good as it appeared in the pictures.

However, in the eyes of several children, this expression was an excuse, thinking that the doctor didn't want to take them there.

"Doctor, let's go."

"We've been doing homework every day recently, and it's hard to come out."

Mrs. Yuan surrounded the doctor, chattering non-stop, with a spirit of not giving up until the goal was achieved.

"Then go, the experiment has just come to an end, doctor, you can take them for a walk, all the expenses will be paid to me."

Noah came out to save the siege, and he also wanted to go out with Huiyuan. Kyoto is a good place, so he directly threw Yuantai and the other three to the doctor.

"No problem, wait for me to clean up."

Noah: Where did your entanglement go...

In Maori's office, the uncle is in a state of drunkenness, and Xiaolan is not at home, which frees him from the slightest restraint and makes him feel very comfortable.

"jingle bell, jingle bell"

The uncle glanced at the ringing phone with a dazed look. After hesitating for a while, he walked to the phone in a shaky figure.

"Hi, I'm Kogoro Mori, what can I do for you?"

While talking, he couldn't help but hiccupped, one can imagine how much he drank.

"Hi Mr. Maori, I would like to ask you for a favor."

"Sorry, I don't have time recently."

The uncle refused without even thinking about it. He finally had two days of respite, so of course he had to enjoy it.

"That's right, that's such a pity. I heard that Mr. Mao Li likes wine, so I specially prepared a lot for it, and invited singers to accompany me."

As soon as the words fell, the uncle's eyes suddenly lit up, most of the alcohol dissipated, and he spoke righteously.

"Since you came to me so sincerely, of course I, Mori Kogoro, can't make you feel cold. What do you need me to do?"

"Mr. Mori is indeed a straightforward person. I hope you can come to Sannoji Temple in Kyoto Prefecture. I am waiting for your visit here."

"Kyoto..."

The uncle hesitated again. Leaving aside the long journey, the place where his daughter is going seems to be Kyoto. If it happens, will he still have a good life.

"The entrustment fee is prepared for you, 200 million yen. Although it is a little small, it is also our heart."

"I'm leaving now, and I will do my best to help."

The uncle hung up the phone directly, there is no reason to hesitate, he is required for work, and the capital is so big, how could he meet Xiaolan by such a coincidence.

At this time, Conan and his party had just set foot on the border of Kyoto, and they also came to visit the celebration.

As a native of Osaka, Waba and Hattori are of course familiar with the nearby Kyoto, so they naturally take on the task of a tour guide and introduce them.

It is worth mentioning that Yuanzi was also in the team. When she came to play with Xiaolan in the morning, she happened to see a few people preparing to go out. After learning the purpose of their group, she joined them with nothing to do.
