Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

Taking a bite of the ice cream he just bought, Imaguchi sat on the roadside, thinking about the plot of the novel. The previous plot had already written that the protagonist found the video of his parents' death and knew that his parents did not die normally.

Then the next plot is written. The protagonist finds other witnesses at the scene, asks them to learn about the special circumstances that happened on the day his parents died, and then continues to follow this clue to discover the death of his parents. It's not that simple, there's a big conspiracy hidden behind it...

Imaguchi mentally recorded what he just thought of on his phone, and slowly added it in his mind. The plot felt that the logic was clear, and there was nothing missing, so he put the phone away.

Looking at the melted ice cream on his hand, Imaguchi quickly took a bite. It was so cold that he couldn't help but open his mouth and breathe.

"Imaguchi-nii!" Conan and the others, who had just walked out of the store, happened to see Imaguchi's heart sitting on the roadside and said hello excitedly.

"Conan, it's you! Did you just finish your meal?" Imaguchi glanced at the place where they came out, and then looked at the time on his phone. It's already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Why are Conan and the others now? Just eating?

"Yes! We played too late at the doctor's house yesterday, so we got up a little late today. We just had breakfast around 9 o'clock, so we were just hungry just now." Conan explained.

"Imaguchi-nii, are you shopping?" Ayumi looked at the bags next to Imguchi's heart and asked doubtfully.

"Yes, I just passed by here and took a look around. I didn't expect that there were quite a lot of interesting things, so I bought some." Imaguchi nodded heartily.

"Wow, there are new comics coming out!" Mitsuhiko looked at the comics he wanted to buy but didn't, his face full of surprise.

"There is also a game console here, the latest one." Yuantai looked at the latest game console in the bag and shouted in surprise.

"There are so many things, Imaguchi-san, where did you buy this comic? It's so hard to buy, and we didn't even buy it!" Ayumi asked in confusion. They have been chasing this comic. Yesterday, they I went to buy it, but I couldn't find it. I searched many stores and couldn't find it either.

Where did Imaguchi-san buy it?

"Yes, this game console seems to be out of stock." Haibara Ai nodded, looking at the bag containing the game console in Imaguchi's heart and said.

This game console was already sold out online within two days of its launch, and it was impossible to get it offline. She was also one of the people who stayed up late to buy it, but she couldn't get it either.

"Also, this book here was sold out two days ago. I searched several bookstores and couldn't find it!" Conan looked at the detective novel in the bag next to Imaguchi Koko and couldn't move his eyes away.

"Stop!" Facing the chatter around him, Imaguchi raised his hand to make a prohibitive gesture.

Seeing that they all became quiet, he breathed a sigh of relief and answered the questions they just asked.

"In fact, some of the things you just mentioned were things I had agreed with the store owner before so that he could keep them for me. Others were things I grabbed online and just exchanged them." Imaguchi took the bag containing the comics and said, Hand him to Mitsuhiko.

“This comic is indeed very popular recently, and it must be sold out elsewhere.

The reason why I was able to buy it is because I often buy this comic in a store and I am already familiar with the store owner.

In addition, there are relatively few customers in the store, so the boss knew that I often bought this book and specially bought it for me.

If you like it, you can read it first. I was quite busy a while ago and I haven’t read the previous books, so I don’t have time to read them yet. "

"Really? Thank you so much, Imaguchi-nii, we will return it to you soon after reading it!" Mitsuhiko's eyes suddenly lit up, holding the bag in their arms, they almost jumped with joy .

"You're welcome, Conan, please take this book and read it first! It was given to me by a friend of mine, be careful not to damage it." Imaguchi handed the bag containing the book to Conan, and then whispered He said to Conan, "Let me tell you quietly, this book was given to me by the author himself, and it still has his autograph on it."

Conan was stunned by the surprise. He didn't expect that he could actually see a book signed by his favorite author. Ayumi and the others looked at Imaguchi Kokoro in surprise. They didn't expect that the novel Imaguchi Kokomo was mailed by Conan's favorite writer. Came here.

"Thank you, Imaguchi-nii!" A bright smile broke out on Conan's face, and he kept looking at the books in the bag excitedly, as if his eyes were seeing through.

"You're welcome. After you finish reading these, you can just give them to me. But I can't invite you to play with this game console. I want to give this to others." Imaguchi smiled heartily and shook the bag in his hand.

"No need, Brother Imaguchi, it's great that you can lend us these two!"

"Uh-huh."

"Yes!" Several children from the Junior Detective Team nodded repeatedly.

Imaguchi smiled and patted their heads.

"Brother Imaguchi, are you okay for a while? If not, why don't you come and play with us!" Mitsuhiko looked at the comics in the bag and suddenly suggested.

"I have nothing to do. Are you going out for an outing again?" Imaguchi asked doubtfully.

"No, don't we like to read this comic recently? By chance, we joined a reader group, and we usually share discussions, comments, etc. about this comic in the group.

There happened to be an offline discussion today. Originally, because we couldn't buy this comic, we couldn't attend to avoid being spoiled.

But now that there are comics, we have the qualifications to enter. Imaguchi-san, would you like to come with us and take a look? Very interesting! Conan explained that this offline discussion was also the reason why they had been so anxious to buy this comic these past two days.

After all, this offline forum can only be entered with the latest version of comics, and they missed it because the forum was held too far away or because they didn't grab the comics. Today is the only time they have gone so far. Opportunities for discussion sessions.

"It sounds quite interesting. I don't have anything to do anyway, so why don't we go and have a look!" Imaguchi nodded heartily. This was his first time attending an offline comic discussion! It sounds quite interesting.

"Okay, let's go now. The seminar is not far from here. It happens to be held at four o'clock this afternoon. It's still too late." Ayumi checked the time on her phone and urged.

"Okay, then tell your family!"

"Uh-huh."

……

After getting off the bus, Imaguchi walked a few hundred meters according to the directions given by Conan and the others, and finally saw the signpost for the offline seminar.

"We'll be there in 200m. It looks like it's really close." Imaguchi checked the time in his mind. It was only more than half an hour since they got here by car, and it was indeed not that far away.

"Yes, it's the only one that's closer this time. I remember the last venue was Morioka, and it happened to be school time, so there was no time to go there." Mitsuhiko recalled the location of the last venue and said. .

"Yes, the last venue was very far away. It seemed to be in a city in southern Vietnam. They have already gone abroad." Yuantai complained.

"I thought I wouldn't be able to go to this seminar! I didn't expect it to be held nearby, and I got the manga from Imaguchi-san before it started. I'm really lucky!" Ayumi nodded.

"I'm quite lucky too. I didn't know there was such a thing as offline seminars before. Thank you for telling me." Imaguchi listened to what they were saying and said, "We're here. Conan, look at the house in front of you. It's Isn’t it the venue?”

Imaguchi pointed to the place in front that resembled a haunted house. It was the only place in the vicinity that looked more like a venue for offline discussions.

"It seems so." Conan was a little unsure.

"Yes, this is it. This is the photo sent by the members who have already arrived. It is indeed this house." Haibara Ai took out her mobile phone and showed them the photos sent by the discussion group members. The location in the photo was exactly in front of them. this house.

"I didn't expect to find it so quickly." Mitsuhiko nodded comparing the photo and the house in front of him.

"Then let's go in quickly!" Yuantai immediately smiled and stretched his legs to go inside.

"It looks a bit scary, like a haunted house!" Ayumi shrank behind Haihara Ai in fear and tightened her clothes.

"It's okay, it just looks a little scary." Haihara Ai patted Ayumi on the back.

"Yes, looking at the photos, they shouldn't be wearing anything special." Mitsuhiko comforted.

"This house shouldn't be a haunted house. It should be a place where I've played script killing or a secret room before. You see, this is just a secret room for adventure." Conan took out the investigation information about this house on his mobile phone and gave it to Ayumi look.

Ayumi looked at the content on Conan's phone and then felt relieved. This method was indeed not a haunted house, but a secret room in operation. The reason why the offline discussion is being held here today is probably because it was booked by the members of the discussion.

"Then let's go in!"

"Ah."
