How to be a great detective

Chapter 37 The Detective Step 37

The position of the soda machine in this store is a little bit higher. For Conan, who is perfectly in line with the standard of a first-grade elementary school student, he needs to use his toes to press the button of the soda machine with one hand.

There is some interference to the sound reception when the soda flows down, but the effect is not great.Conan really just pricked up his ears subconsciously because of too much detective work, and scattered a small amount of energy on Yayoi who was talking on the phone outside. in his ears.

"Editor Inoue, what do you want me to do... It turned out to be because of the reprint. In fact, I heard some rumors from others before. I am currently traveling in Kanagawa. It may take a few days before I return to Tokyo to discuss the contract with you. Things... Do I need to add a new episode, but the last time I wrote "Case and Love Can't Let Go" was almost four years ago, and it may take some time to reach the previous level..."

Conan staggered and almost fell to the ground.

However, his current state is not really better than falling on the ground. Just now, when he leaned over, the drink in his hand spilled directly onto his down jacket.

He had no choice but to put the cup aside, and frantically wiped the remaining soda on his body with a napkin.Fortunately, the outermost layer of fabric of his down jacket is waterproof, wipe it with a paper towel, absorb the soda water on the surface, and it is impossible for anyone to see that his down jacket has been washed by soda water when he returns to the dining table.

After finishing all this, Conan peeked out of the window again and found that Yayoi's figure had disappeared. Turning his head again, she had finished making the phone call and walked back to the restaurant from the main entrance.

As if noticing the scrutiny from the side, Yayoi turned her body and looked back at Conan.

Conan squeezed out an awkward smile. Yayoi didn't know that Conan accidentally overheard the content of his phone call. His eyes swayed slightly between Conan and the soda machine next to him, and then turned into an understanding teacher again, and came to Conan's side.

Yayoi asked: "Conan, do you want to drink soda?"

Conan understood that Yayoi had misunderstood that he couldn't touch the button with his height and arm length alone. Compared to Yayoi's misunderstanding, he didn't want Yayoi to know that he had overheard her conversation with his editor, so he said along the way: " I want to drink soda, please trouble Yayoi-san."

Yayoi picked up a new cup from the side - she thought that the cup that was already stained with soda water on the table next to the soda machine was left behind by a guest.

For Conan, the trouble is that the button of the soda machine is a little high. For Yayoi, the trouble, to be precise, is a little troublesome. Conan is just the opposite, the button is a little shorter, and she has to bend down. Only then can the drink be picked up.

"Here, Conan." Yayoi handed the drink to Conan well.

"Thank you sister Yayoi." Conan also politely expressed his gratitude to Yayoi, and suddenly remembered the food that Ms. Kubo had prepared when she recognized Yayoi, and asked the Hokuto butler who had not committed any murder at that time, and asked again, " Yayoi-san doesn't drink Coca-Cola?"

Yayoi thought for a while, but still refused: "No, sometimes Coke will affect my thinking."

There is no case happening now, but based on Yayoi's previous call content, Conan still roughly guessed that she is currently considering how to complete the new episode needed for the reprint of her novel.

After returning to the dining table, everyone could see Yayoi's distress, including Mr. Driver, who was not familiar with her.

"The previous editor contacted me and asked me to add an extra episode to a poor novel I wrote before, but the time gap is really too far away, and I really don't know how to write it in order to conform to the novel. Rhythm, if the writing is wrong, I will be too sorry for the people who read it later.”

In the face of everyone's inquiries, Yayoi did not hide it. After all, she promised Toru Amuro that she would not act if she stopped acting. Moreover, her acting skills are so poor that everyone can see it at a glance and worry even more.Instead, they voiced their concerns because they were not as involved in the novel as their editors were.But it also concealed some key information, such as her pen name, and what the name of the novel was.

But it’s not that if she hides it, no one will care about it. After comforting and encouraging her and telling her that there’s no problem, Xiao Lan asks the title of the novel she needs to write a side story about.

Yayoi directly refused, leaving no room for maneuver, "Xiaolan, I really won't tell you this. Because my writing is so bad, it's really bad, if you know... I can't even imagine What do you think when you see it?"

In fact, Xiaolan and I have already read it, especially Xiaolan, who has read it several times.

Conan calmly put the dish held by the chopsticks into his mouth.

As the only person in the room who knew the truth, he knew exactly what Yayoi was worried about.Aside from the emotional line of that novel, in fact Conan tried his best to skip the emotional line at the beginning, but the heroine is a detective and the hero is a policeman, and his feelings warmed up while solving the case, which made him If you want to solve the case just by looking at it, you must suffer the emotional attack that may appear at any time.And he gave a little extra look to the hero and heroine to solve the case, both of them are very, very, very rubbish in solving the case!Conan felt that the reason why Sonoko Suzuki liked this novel so much and regarded it as the best love mystery novel in those years was purely because Sonoko saw her shadow in the male and female protagonists, and their reasoning levels were really different. up and down.

It really made Conan complain about this novel, he could even complain about it all day and night, which is why he reacted so strongly when he heard that Yayoi was the author of the novel "Neither the case nor the love can be let go".

But what made him suppress his complaints was that although Yayoi worshiped a wrong detective teacher who didn't teach her knowledge, she still kept learning by listening to the case explanation and notes organized by the sleeping Mori Kogoro. with reasoning knowledge.Although Conan feels that Yayoi's detective skills are still poor, he has to admit that her thinking in collecting evidence in the case is getting closer to the right direction, and occasionally there will be surprising words to help Conan trigger a flash of inspiration.The problem she has now is that the verification and advancement of her thinking is a little slower.In short, Yayoi's progress is rapid.

So Conan believes that when she reviews her book "Cases and Love Can't Be Let Go", she will definitely not let go of the cases in it.There is no need for Conan to complain, she can be complained to death by herself.

but.

Conan paused in the air with his chopsticks.

Why is Toru Amuro not surprised at all?

The author has something to say: Of course it is because Touzi abused the power of the police ×
