The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Chapter 959: The Phantom Thieves are still too comprehensive

This is indeed a very attractive suggestion. Most children's attention is easily diverted. With such a lively theme park in front of them, it is normal for their minds to be completely attracted by the constant laughter and noise of the amusement park.

The three of them almost nodded in agreement, but after seeing the amusement park behind them, they barely suppressed their restless hearts.

"Well, but we are also invited 'detectives'!" Yoshida Ayumi hesitated for a moment, and finally pulled her eyes away from the balloon at the door, "Wouldn't it be bad if we didn't go to meet the person who commissioned us..."

"He mainly invited me." Maori Kogoro, who rarely showed patience with children, persuaded a few words, "Besides, I am a hired private detective. He paid me for the commission. He didn't share the money with you. It's not appropriate to ask you to go with me for consultation."

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Conan, and found that the kid surprisingly did not show any objection, so he turned around and added a sentence.

"Okay, when you guys come out after playing, I'll tell you the content of the commission if it's appropriate. If I really need your help, it won't be too late then."

He was unusually serious, and his persuasion was serious. For a moment, several elementary school students looked at each other and really couldn't find any reason to refute.

It was indeed a commission given to the detective, but it was also an adult's job.

What's more, he also promised to share information with them later, so it seems that there is no need to meet a strange uncle...

The three of them whispered a few words, and seeing that Haibara Ai and Conan did not raise any objections, they finally nodded.

"Then it's a deal. If the commission is very interesting..." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya said with some concern.

"…or it's very difficult. Uncle, you must tell us what you can't solve!" Kojima Genta interrupted him before he could finish.

His eyebrows twitched, and Maori Kogoro looked in the direction of the hotel again, barely suppressing his anger: "Okay, okay, okay... Let's go quickly and stop making trouble..."

It doesn’t really matter during normal work. Most clients are not on guard against children and will just think that Kogoro Mouri has the habit of working with his family members.

But it is hard to say where these rich people who have nothing to do and live in the amusement park will set up defense.

After convincing the three most erratic ones, except for Conan who had a stern face and seemed to be thinking about something, the others had no doubts.

Just when they had made up their minds and were preparing to act separately, a man in a suit and tie walked out of the hotel lobby. He saw the few people who had gotten out of the car and were lingering in front of the door, and hurried out to greet them.

"I'm sorry, is this Detective Maori Kogoro? I've been waiting for you for a long time." The man saluted, stood up, and revealed a face that fits the stereotype very well. He said in a gentle tone, "I'm the secretary of your client this time. My last name is Takada. And these few people..."

After greeting Kogoro Mori, he looked at Ran Mori, who was about to leave with the children, and said politely, "You are Mori's daughter, right? And you, the 'Junior Detective Team'. I have heard of your name for a long time. The client is already prepared for the meeting..."

"No need, Mr. Takada." Feeling Conan gently pulling at the corner of her skirt, Mao Lilan immediately put on a smile, "I don't understand the work of detectives, so I can't help you much. Thank you for inviting us here out of respect and courtesy. Is it because the meeting place is in Fantasy Park, so you want to take care of your family? Thank you very much, but we won't bother you with such an important commission..."

Since most of them were excuses, it was hard to sound sincere, so she didn't say this smoothly.

She was still not used to lying, although people always had to tell a few lies. At such times, even social etiquette would feel burdensome to her.

But looking at the secretary's expression, she gritted her teeth and insisted on making these excuses.

After all, they are still a group of elementary school students. It is impossible for them to be of much help in such a high-value business commission. If we insist on having them go to the appointment, the purpose will sound too obvious.

We have to protect these children, we have to be sensitive at times like this, and not be too careless.

"Uh, but..." Secretary Takada was surprised to hear a rejection. "Everyone is here... The meeting place was chosen as the conference hall for this reason..."

"Ah, I accidentally found the address of this place when I was searching the map navigation." Mao Lilan spent a few seconds to make up a fair excuse, "I thought it would be nice to have some fun along the way, so I brought the kids with me."

"But the request I received was..."

"No, no, five first-grade kids, that would be too much trouble for you. What if it disturbs the connection of the commission? How inappropriate would that be?"

The more Secretary Takata asked them to bring the elementary school students along, the more Mao Li Ran felt that the other party had ulterior motives, and she refused to give in.

Conan, who was agitated and watched as he and Haibara Ai held down the three idiots of Teitan, secretly gave them a thumbs up.

Being easy to talk to but stubborn may not seem very likable at times, but at moments like this, people will sincerely admire this gentle but firm expression of principles.

He would not let the children take risks until the client's mind was clear.

"Since you insist..." Looking at his watch, Takada was obviously a little anxious because of the time. In the end, he could only nod in compromise, and then asked the staff behind him to get a box from the hotel. "It's okay if you don't want to attend the meeting. Please accept this. This is a kind gift from the client. I hope you won't refuse it."

Mao Lilan took the box, opened it and took out the watch-like device from the middle. She was observing it carefully. After hearing the last words, she stopped her movements and was about to close the lid with her backhand: "We are just following Dad to play, why are you worrying so much..."

So what if it’s just a small watch?

She had no idea before, and still had no idea now, how outrageous could a watch be? What if it was a locator used by some people with special fetishes to lock onto their prey?

Not to mention that she had just observed it carefully for a long time and only saw the buckle of the watch. The design was a bit technological, but no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't find any buttons or seams that were easy to remove... It was even more suspicious.

"This is the VIP ticket for Fantasy Park, Ms. Maori." Secretary Takada felt that Maori Ran was difficult to deal with and did not dare to let her speak again. He spoke at twice the speed, "Look at the ticket machine over there. Fantasy Park now uses this more convenient smart bracelet, which is convenient for locating the location of tourists. If an accident occurs, it can provide timely assistance. It is not a strange device."

Mao Lilan turned her head and observed the people coming in and out for a while. She saw that everyone had something similar in their hands, but most of them were smaller than the one in her hand. Her expression relaxed a little: "I see, I haven't seen this kind of design before..."

Secretary Takada wiped the sweat off his face, kept smiling, and wisely did not respond.

He kept quiet and made no move to lead the way, obviously hoping that several people would put on their tickets now.

Mao Lilan began to rack her brains to think of a reason again. Conan suddenly jumped up and snatched the thing from her hand. He roughly fiddled with it for a while and deliberately made an annoying, child-like noise at a high volume: "I don't want to wear it, this thing is so ugly! Sister Xiaolan, I like my own watch!"

Ran Mouri was stunned for a moment, lowered her head to meet Conan's gaze, blinked twice, and perhaps she understood Conan's expression, and quickly returned to the state of Sister Ran disciplining a naughty child, reaching out to hold Conan.

"Conan! Don't mess around. This is a gift from someone else. You'll ruin it!"

"I don't want to wear it! I won't wear this!"

"Hey, Conan, stop throwing it around. If it breaks, you'll have to pay for it!"

Just like every time Conan deliberately made trouble, the two of them ran around the children, and the scene suddenly became chaotic because of the naughty children.

Secretary Takata wiped the sweat off his forehead again, and suddenly felt a little relieved that Mao Li Ran firmly refused to take the children to the hotel.

Maybe this lady is not difficult to talk to, but really knows the lethality of naughty children and is worried about messing up the commission...

Forget it. Anyway, the boss just asked them to wear their tickets, so he might as well not show up.

The two people chased each other for two or three rounds, and Mao Lilan reached out and finally grabbed Conan by the collar and pulled him in front of her.

She pulled the watch back and met Conan's eyes again.

Behind the large lenses, Conan's expression was no longer the naughty laughter of a naughty child, but he stared at her with an unwavering and firm look.

Takada hasn't left yet and has been watching them play. The hint is obvious enough.

He just wants all the children to wear watches.

They suspected the client, but they couldn't ask the question directly. If they delayed any further, the other party would become suspicious.

Now, there is only one way to get away with it.

This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!

Understanding what he meant, Mao Lilan's eyes widened slightly and her fingertips stiffened.

But after staring at each other for a few seconds, she squatted down, like a careful sister disciplining her child, took Conan's hand, and put the watch on his empty wrist.

The moment the buckle was pressed, she felt her eyes slightly warm.

"Okay, put it on properly and thank them, okay..."

After saying that, she also picked up a watch and pretended to put it on her wrist.

Secretary Takada finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene, and his smile became sincere again.

"Detective Maori, this way please..."

Look, the squatting high school girl really started distributing watches to the children. More importantly, she herself and the children of Detective Maori's family have already put them on, so his mission has been accomplished.

Moreover, they had no reason to refuse the amusement park tickets which seemed to be well-intentioned in every way. Secretary Takada felt that the problem had been basically solved and this time he did not drag his feet.

"Just give the car keys to the caddy, he will help you park the car properly. Come, this way..."

After watching Kogoro Mouri leave, the smile on Ran Mouri's face faded only when the two figures completely disappeared in the hotel lobby.

She tugged at the watch on Conan's hand, looked at the LCD numbers that flashed and lit up, and the dial that briefly displayed the time, date, and weather. She gritted her teeth and didn't dare to take it off directly.

Just in case, just in case this thing is really troublesome...

She pursed her lips, and before Conan could object, she immediately pressed the buckle on her wrist and fastened the watch firmly on her hand.

"Lan, you..." Conan grabbed her wrist, looking a little anxious.

Regarding this watch, just by looking at its structure that is not easy to disassemble with one hand, many bad images appeared in his mind.

What about injecting toxins, pulse and heart rate monitoring, locators, bombs...

A lot of random things flew over, and in short, none of them were good.

Knowing that something was wrong, he still wore this thing on his hand...

"Whatever this is, since you are going to take the risk, there is no reason for me to hide aside and watch." Mao Lilan shook her watch and whispered, "And if I wear it too, you will have some concerns when you take the risk, right?"

"orchid……"

Haibara Ai also picked up a watch from the box. Seeing that both of them were standing there looking at each other in silence, she waited for a few seconds and still saw no response, so she deliberately cleared her throat.

"Ahem! Is it time to go into the amusement park? Actually, the doctor has reserved VIP tickets for us in advance, so we don't need them. It's not appropriate for us to take the client's things without accepting the commission."

This is of course not true, but the tickets were indeed booked in advance, and her sister helped her book them...

"This is a gift that the doctor 'specially' sent to us. It's already very pitiful that he couldn't come with us because of something else. We can't refuse his kindness." Afraid that the children would rebel, Huibara Ai emphasized again.

"Oh, okay..." The three elementary school students who were about to take the watch out of curiosity immediately gave up the idea of ​​getting the tickets for free and happily followed Huibara Ai to the door to get the reserved tickets.

Haibara Ai led a few people towards the ticket office like a child king. As she passed by, she said something in a very low voice.

"It's a touching scene, but you can wait to be moved. Keep an eye on the news."

Conan, who was still deeply moved, tried to regain his composure, and for a moment he did not understand what she was referring to.

However, after a few minutes, Conan understood what she meant.

"Stretch out your hands, or put them on the seat over here." Hagiwara Kenji quickly selected a pry bar and a screwdriver from the toolbox, and picked up a pair of pliers that were convenient for cutting rubber. Seeing that Conan didn't react, he added in a friendly manner, "You can put it on my knees if you want."

Conan finally understood what Haibara Ai meant: "..."

No, you Phantom Thieves said you had made preparations, but isn't that a bit too comprehensive? !
