Ayanokoji in Kexue World

(08)

Half an hour after Amuro Toru left, Poirot Coffee Shop also officially opened for business.

Mori Kogoro upstairs went downstairs as usual and asked for a cup of coffee and a sandwich.Generally speaking, if he has nothing to do, he will order a cup of coffee in the coffee shop, read newspapers or programs on TV, and feel the popularity of the coffee shop.Because I follow Goro Akechi, I usually don't run into him on Saturdays.

"Hey, don't you have to follow Goro Akechi today?"

Kogoro Mori looked at me in surprise.

"Because at the end of the semester, I have to prepare for the exam, and I will talk about it during the vacation." I thought for a while, repeated what Goro Akechi said, and said, "So I came back to work, and I can subsidize the living expenses."

Mori Kogoro nodded, holding a newspaper from the coffee shop and said, "You've been with him for a month, how do you feel?"

"To be precise, four days." I helped bring his sandwich to the table, and said, "Because there are too few days to follow, and there is relatively little information. For the time being, I don't know what the ultimate goal of Phantom Thieves is What? How many members are there? Zhizhi seems to be investigating every day and running around. He already knew the information I found. Now I feel like I am holding him back."

"I think he's trying to amuse you on purpose." Mori Kogoro said bluntly, "Although it's only been four days, didn't you help wholeheartedly? He was always a loner before, and suddenly he wanted you as a detective assistant. I don't tell you what to do, it's just bullying you. Did you accidentally provoke him?"

When I heard this, I felt like I couldn't grasp the clue.

"He will amuse you next time, you tell me, I will go down his prestige, a mere little detective, dare to bully people in front of the famous Maori detective?" Maori Kogoro chattered endlessly, and if he saw Akechi Goro, he would teach him a lesson After a pause, "You just wait for me to give you a boost!"

I thought the matter should not be such a big deal, so I waved my hand and changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Mori, have you heard of the cabinet member Ayanokōji who stepped down because of dementia three years ago?"

"Oh, the one who almost became the Prime Minister of Japan. I heard that because of that incident, Masayoshi Shidou was originally able to take office, but the political party was not strong enough. As a result, he was not elected and other party leaders came to power. In the October election this year, he should Is there a high chance of success in the election?" Mori Kogoro usually pays attention to politics, so he naturally has a better understanding of events. That's it."

"Will Councilor Ayanokouji have any children?"

"You don't want it?" Mori Kogoro nodded and looked at me, as if a bloody drama had been completed in his questioning pupils, "You don't want to say that you are actually his illegitimate child, do you?"

"If I'm his illegitimate child, how dare I use the same surname?"

"That's true. This is simply telling the world about the existence of illegitimate children." Kogoro Mori continued to look at me, his eyes seemed to ask me why I would ask such a question.

"I think Goro Akechi might be that person's illegitimate son. According to my observation, he seems to want to prove that the Phantom Thieves of Heart are connected with a series of "insane incidents" and "dehumanization" that have surged in recent years, especially this year .He even suspected that Representative Ayanokouji was the first batch of victims three years ago. "

"If this is the case, it's really shocking news. Whether it's the illegitimate child incident or the Ayanokoji Senator incident..." Mouri Kogoro said in amazement, "If it really involves politics, you'd better be careful Oh. Society is very dark, Ayanokouji."

I still wonder why Akechi Goro came to me.

Even if director Isogami said that I was smart, he wouldn't be looking for me?

There are a lot of people smarter than me in this world.

Thinking on the bright side, maybe Goro Akechi owes Director Isogami a favor, that's why Goro Akechi brought me along.

Thinking about it badly, Akechi Goro already knew that this matter was deeply involved, so he set his sights on a poor and white person like me in order to find a scapegoat.At that time, put a hat on me and say that I want to avenge Representative Ayanokouji, so I approached Akechi Goro and asked him to take me to solve this case.How can I prove that I am paying attention to Representative Ayanokouji? The evidence includes "newspaper clippings in my house three years ago", or "because I started investigating Representative Ayanokouji's various behaviors after I received the newspaper."

……

I threw away the extra thoughts, came back to my senses and asked the key point: "By the way, Mr. Mori, do you remember a detective named Toru Amuro?"

Mori Kogoro tilted his head, folded his arms and thought, "Detective? What does it look like?"

"Blonde hair, very tall, naturally dark skin. He said that he heard about your handling of the case a few days ago." Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel that I am so unlucky. Every time there is a case, I am not on the scene.All the cases I was on the scene were confused by my handling.

Mori Kogoro patted his thigh immediately, and said, "I remember, there was a class reunion a few days ago." Speaking of this, he was a little bit embarrassed: "The old classmate introduced his marriage partner to me, but the marriage partner was in the fire in the parking lot die."

"He killed?"

"Suicide." Mori Kogoro didn't want to go into too much detail, so he changed the subject and said, "What did the detective come here for?"

"He wants to worship you as a teacher."

"I don't accept apprentices." Mori Kogoro waved his hand, "When he comes next time, just tell him that."

"I don't think he's someone who gives up so easily."

He even had a long-term plan to work at the Café Poirot under the Detective Agency.

"Would you like to bet?" Mori Kogoro smiled confidently, "If I accept him as an apprentice in the end, then I will make an exception and accept you too, how about it?"

I think Mr. Mori is doomed.

"Okay."

As it turned out, because Toru Amuro offered to pay the tuition fee, Kogoro Mori forgot his determination on the spot and immediately accepted Toru Amuro as his apprentice.This is what happened to Toshiro Amuro, our Café Polo staff, that day.

That day I became both a senior at Cafe Amuro Topolo and a senior at Detective Road.

This is something.

That day, when Toru Amuro came to Café Poirot, something happened that caught me off guard.My letter from Dr. Ari and an umbrella with a thank you note.

The letter is a standard notice letter from Phantom Thieves of Heart.

"Indifferent and ruthless manipulator Ayanokōji Kiyotaka, in order to realize your unforgivable desires and desires, you use all means to benefit yourself at the expense of others. We already know all the crimes you have committed, so we decided to steal your twisted desire , Hope, to force you to confess your crime. We will do it tomorrow, resistance is useless, let's catch it.

"Phantom Thieves of Heart"

……

What the hell?

The other is a plastic umbrella with a thank you letter, which reminds me of meeting Chufa youth at the entrance of Yokohama Station.Is he connected to the Phantom Thieves of Heart?Or is it connected to the government?Or is this purely a coincidence?But it's a bit scary to find out my residence just by sending an umbrella.

But the text left on it also makes people feel strange.

"LaPaz, hurray! (La Paz, long live!)"

"Doctor, LaPaz means "peace" in Spanish, right? "

Dr. Ali nodded when he heard what I said, and said, "Have you always received some strange things recently?"

"A newspaper of unknown origin. 』

"Mail for no reason. 』

"Unexpected notice. 』

"Unexplainable umbrella. 』

"LaPaz may also refer to La Paz, the capital of Bolivia in South America. You said it would be like the American mystery novelist Ellery Quinn's "The Finishing Stroke", the protagonist will receive a mysterious gift every night, It's puzzling." Hui Yuanai, who lived together, came out of the bedroom, and said in a deep tone that didn't fit a child of the same age, "Now, the secret of Ayanokoji's life experience is about to be revealed."

But this deliberately outspoken tone seemed to be teasing me.

"I remember that an old man died before I received the gift." Dr. A Li touched his chin and recalled, "Do you think it will correspond to the news in the newspaper that the member of the Ayanokoji Pavilion has died?"

After receiving the newspaper that day, Dr. Ali also checked the situation of that person for me.Newspapers are not interested in people who have left the political arena, so it is impossible to find out the status quo of people on the Internet.

However, Dr. A Li used his connections to find someone.

That person died in a nursing home in Yokohama in March this year.

"If it's really a one-to-one correspondence, I remember that the person who received the gift in the story was killed in the end?" Thanks to Kudo Shinichi, I also read a lot of detective stories.

"Could this be a death notice?!" Dr. Ali looked back and forth between Huiyuan Ai and me in shock, "Should we call the police?"

"Not at all, at least—"

I sighed and picked out the teaser letter of "Phantom Thieves of Heart".

"It should be harmless."
