[Conan Doujin] The Mystery of Theseus

Puzzle3 The phrase "I'll catch up to you soon" is often called □□□□.

Time progressed step by step, and everything happened as scheduled according to the script written in advance.

But the audience didn't read the script beforehand, so they didn't know whether the actors on the stage were reciting their lines conscientiously, or acting on the spot as they wished.

None of us read the script beforehand, right?

"Taking a helicopter as the backup of the Metropolitan Police Department" and "successfully controlled the scene and successfully protected the clock tower from being stolen" seems to be a very worthwhile experience to show off, but unfortunately the party being shown off often doesn't buy it.

"How could the clock tower be really stolen?" Mao Lilan, who followed the ineffective detective father and had seen some of the world, was very disapproving, "Even if you don't join in the fun, the Jiang Gutian clock tower will still be there. "

He knew that if he continued to argue, and argued for the interests behind the bell tower and the real "guardian" as an argument, his fate would not be any better than "being beaten very badly", Kudo chose. Let's stop talking about it.And in this thought process of quickly weighing the pros and cons in order to reduce the damage to himself to the minimum, Kudo Shinichi clarified a fact——

In the clock tower incident that just ended, the "thief" that the Metropolitan Police Department wanted to arrest was actually the same as those kind-hearted guys who valued old feelings more than benefits.He just wanted to protect the clock tower, but the means were extreme.

Performance Art?Individualism that has to rely on sensationalism to obtain happiness?There can be many conjectures, but Kudo Shinichi finally summarized these unverifiable conjectures and hypotheses as "interesting".

Encountered a very interesting opponent.

Although no one even asked the other party's full name, and his well-known international crime file number was completely unknown, holding the idea of ​​"since it is an interesting opponent, we will meet again one day", Kudo took this as enough The experience called "encounter" was gradually left behind.

It's not forgetting, it's just that there is no need to emphasize its priority all the time.

Trivial events in life, big or small, involved a limited amount of time, and since then he has never had the opportunity to share this experience with Kuroba, which is so rare and interesting that it can become a permanent topic.

Opportunities are always ignored and missed in this way, until a time that is too bad to come, and all the truth and answers are laid out under the light, making people caught off guard and unable to avoid it.

Jiang Gutian Bell Tower was successfully protected, but after that, Hei Yu was depressed for a long time.It was not because he encountered a difficult opponent during the action, after all, this did not prevent him from falling into the crowd "gorgeously" and successfully running away.However, the unequal status prevented him from cheering for himself.

He also couldn't pat his chest and brag to Qingzi, "You can still hear the bell, it's all thanks to me."

Just because of the wrong way, they lose the position of being praised. Sometimes the judgment standards of this society are as clear as black and white as the justice in kindergartens.

But the world is obviously more than black and white.

A bell sounded from a distance, and Kuroba Kaito sighed without any sense of accomplishment.

Sure enough, it's better to quit as soon as possible.It's fine if a hypocrite detective suddenly transfers to the class, this time the Metropolitan Police Department didn't know what kind of trick it got, and in case a more powerful one comes out next time, he will be grateful.

The sudden beeping of the mobile phone interrupted his thoughts.

"...the playground?"

"That's right, the playground." It can be heard through the signal transmission that Kudo's tone is very certain. "Isn't it too childish to go to the playground even after high school? I'd rather go to a suspense movie..." Realizing that he was asking for help, he changed the subject, "...What do you think? "

After hearing the question from Kudo clearly, Kuroba rolled his eyes, "Find a way to solve this kind of problem yourself, don't ask me."

"But you seem to be better at dealing with girls, don't you?" It's not that Kudo doesn't know how to use the domineering communication method of praising the other party to increase his goodwill, but he often forgets these practical techniques when facing women .Fortunately, Kuroba is indeed the kind of guy who is very receptive to other people's compliments, and he can easily agree to help with just a few words.

"If you want to win a girl's favor, the key is not to 'do what you think is interesting', but to put 'things that she might like' directly in front of her." Like a person with rich experience, Kuroba Talking about the experience she got from nowhere, "If Ms. Lan really wants to go to the playground, I think you must go."

The moment the word "must" came out, it seemed that even the atmosphere at both ends of the conversation became serious.

"Specifically..." Kudo also became serious, "How should I act?"

"Play with her," Hei Yu's tone was equally serious, "Show her your masculinity, and go through all the facilities." He cleared his throat, "You must not scream when you ride the roller coaster, When watching a small theater performance, you must first buy popcorn and juice for her, and you must walk in front when entering the haunted house..."

"It doesn't seem to be difficult from what you said..." There was no sense of crisis in the response.

"Don't be careless at any time!" Hei Yu raised his voice, "Because you don't know when unexpected events that will increase your favorability will occur, so you have to be vigilant at all times!"

Is that sentence a flag that God prophesied...

Getting off the roller coaster facility, Kudo looked at the scene with a dark face, which was so powerful that it required technical processing of the picture.

Appeared, the event...

If he knew Kudo's "Reaper Physique" in advance, Kaito Kuroba would never easily use the word "incident" when making suggestions.Most of the protagonists have the physique of passively attracting events, but when the protagonist also has the identity of a detective, the fatality rate of emergencies around him is very Schrödinger.

The woman whom I had contacted in advance in order to show "masculinity" (reasoning ability) is actually the culprit of this incident, and whether "perfect resolution of the incident" can become an "event to increase favorability" to promote the further development of the plot Woolen cloth……

While thinking this way, Kudo Shinichi didn't realize at all that the "incident" was not over yet.

When he received the call from Mao Lilan, Hei Yu's expression was so crazy that he almost hated iron for being weak.

What the hell did that famous detective do to get his childhood sweetheart to call, or to give him Kaito Kuroba?

Ahh, that's great, I also want to go to the amusement park with the girls---

"Kuroba-kun," on the other end of the call, the girl's voice was anxious, "Is Shinichi with you?"

"Huh?" Ordinary thinking, when this kind of contact is not available, you will first consider contacting the other party's friends instead of parents who are far away abroad. The logic is probably correct.Although he had already found a good reason, Kuroba still didn't know what to say for a while.

"No...no. Are you separated?"

"I haven't been able to get in touch since just now! No matter how long I wait, I can't wait, and the phone can't get through..."

"Calm down first," Black Feather lowered his voice to reassure the girl first, "Maybe it's just that the surrounding area is too noisy to hear the phone ringing..." His mind was running fast, and he contacted the "strategy" he had taught Kudo the day before, Black Feather Yu quickly thought of a way to comfort him.

"You've been to a performance before, haven't you?" He tried to explain, "Look, when you enter a theater, you're usually asked to mute your phone, right? So..."

Lan's voice seemed to relax a little. "It seems... that's it."

"So don't worry," Hei Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "You wait there first, we will keep in touch at any time, OK?"

"Well," the girl responded quickly, "Thank you, Kuroba-kun."

After that, Kuroba didn't receive any more news from Lan.

Maybe we met each other.

Still, very concerned.Did that guy really follow the strategy he said, and efficiently increase his favorability?What do you do when you play missing when the atmosphere is strong?

Hei Yu, who wanted to ask for clarification, simply dialed the phone directly.

The call was connected quickly.

"The situation on my side is very complicated," the other party seemed to be running, his steps were hurried, and his voice was panting, "I can't explain it right now, I'll talk about it later!"

The call was quickly cut off again.

Kaito Kuroba froze on the spot holding his phone.

What is that, what was that just now? !

Why does the receiver hear the voice of a certain female singer who once engaged in idol activities, separated from everyone, sold and sang on the streets of the United States, and saved her past self by the way? !
