Accomplice, accomplice?

Sawada Tsunayoshi's remarks stunned Edogawa Conan, and when he realized what the so-called "accomplice" referred to, his expression became even more bewildered.

All the actions I made with the foot strengthening shoes were actually seen by this person!

Edogawa Conan secretly thought something was wrong, he thought that no one would notice in that chaotic situation, but he didn't expect that he was completely exposed.

Thinking about how to get past the countermeasures, Conan Edogawa quickly calmed down, acting cute and pretending to be confused is his strong point, this time as usual -

Before he could put on that innocent look again, Sawada Tsunayoshi reached out and patted his head comfortingly.

"Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to force you just now." Tsunayoshi Sawada was a little annoyed, he seemed too impatient, "Well... I just want to exchange information with Conan-kun, so don't be so nervous .”

"Exchange information?" Conan Edogawa was stunned.

"That's why I came to Detective Mori." Tsunayoshi Sawada lowered his voice involuntarily. He carefully looked around and made sure that no one would come. He approached Edogawa Conan and said seriously, "I suspect you and Mori The detective is cursed."

"......what?"

I thought Sawada Tsunayoshi would tell some shocking secrets, but he actually mysteriously said that he and Mori Kogoro were cursed? ? ?

Edogawa Conan's sharp pupils just now turned into peas. He felt like an idiot for analyzing Sawada Tsunayoshi's identity seriously a few minutes ago.

This guy is not here to ask Uncle Maori to do something like exorcising evil spirits, right?

Seeing Edogawa Conan standing there blankly, Sawada Tsunayoshi thought he didn't believe it, and was about to say something more, but Mao Lilan showed up at this moment and asked two people to come over for dinner.

The two had no choice but to keep silent, looked at each other and obediently returned to the office on the second floor.

Because there was Tsunayoshi Sawada as a guest today, the Mori family moved the dinner from the third floor to the office on the second floor, so that they could talk about business after eating.

Because there was an underage guest, Mori Kogoro didn't drink with a wine glass as usual, and took a sip of hot tea in a serious manner. He straightened his face and asked Sawada Tsunayoshi what important commission he had for coming to him.

"The Mayor of Aihara asked me to come." Tsunayoshi Sawada said the words he had prepared, because he had greeted Aihara Taro in advance, and he could use his name to investigate.

"Huh? You know Mayor Aihara." Mouri Kogoro was surprised. "Speaking of which, the last time I met Mayor Aihara was at the residents' meeting. He personally awarded me the 'Mihua Excellent Resident' award. Hahaha, that award is quite formal."

...?No, Mayor Aihara, you actually awarded the outstanding resident award to this person who is likely to be cursed?

Sawada Tsunayoshi remained silent, a little confused by this operation.

"Uh, it's actually because of the sharp rise in the homicide rate in Mihua Town in the past six months, because we feel that there is something wrong with the data, and the mayor of Aihara Town is very disturbed by this, so he specially asked me to come and consult with you, and I want to hear Let’s see if we can solve this difficult problem together.”

Without directly stating his purpose, Sawada Tsunayoshi first used this roundabout rhetoric to test Mori Kogoro.

"The mayor of Aihara entrusted you, a child, to come to me?" Mori Kogoro was obviously suspicious.

Anticipating this situation a long time ago, Sawada Tsunayoshi took out the personal letter sent by Taro Aihara yesterday and showed it to Kogoro Mori.

Because there was a seal at the end of the letter, Mori Kogoro also believed what Sawada Tsunayoshi said.

"The mayor is still too worried. As long as I, Kogoro Mori, is around, no matter how difficult or difficult the case is, I can solve it successfully!" Kogoro Mori boasted inexplicably, "Go back and tell the mayor of Aihara that he won't have to deal with it at all." Worry, as long as my detective is here for one day, no murderer in Mihua Town will be allowed to go unpunished!

...No, you seem to have misunderstood me completely!

Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyelids twitched, watching Mori Kogoro suddenly say with high morale that he wanted to protect the safety of Mihua Town, he was a little puzzled why things developed like this, shouldn't we first discuss the reasons for the high incidence of murder in Mihua Town?Why would the detective skip this link and make a self-assured promise that he will solve all the cases? ?

"A lot of people teased my dad before, saying that as long as he goes, there will be murders." Mao Lilan came over with hot tea and heard their discussion, "But please don't worry, with my dad's Reasoning will surely solve all difficult cases."

"...Ah, that's it." Tsunayoshi Sawada nodded dumbly.

Sawada Tsunayoshi felt that he might have asked the wrong person.

Edogawa Conan, who was silently watching the whole process behind the door, also kept twitching the corners of his mouth. This conversation was completely talking about chicken and duck, and the brain circuits of the two people were not on the same line at all.

As expected of his uncle, he doesn't even have to pretend to be stupid.

After struggling for a while, he tried to ask for some useful information, but Mori Kogoro didn't understand what he meant at all, and finally Tsunayoshi Sawada had to give up.

Because it is not yet possible to determine whether Kogoro Mori is also a "special group", Tsunayoshi Sawada can't tell the truth directly, but looking at the other party's appearance, it probably has nothing to do with this matter...

It was getting dark outside, and Tsunayoshi Sawada got up to say goodbye, and told Mori Kogoro that he would convey his views to Mayor Aihara.

Declining Mao Lilan's kindness to send him down, Sawada Tsunakichi politely bid farewell and left the detective agency.

Downstairs, the little boy wearing glasses was leaning against the pole and waiting early.

Not much surprised, Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at Edogawa Conan who seemed to be waiting for him, and asked him gently what else he needed.

Edogawa Conan hesitated for a while, raised his head and stared at Sawada Tsunayoshi, and saw a trace of exhaustion that could not be concealed from the bottom of his eyes.

Thinking of the behavior of Sawada Tsunayoshi in the hotel before, Edogawa Conan straightened his face, and then bowed to thank him solemnly.

"The accident at the hotel, thanks to Brother Sawada, we were able to be rescued so quickly." Conan Edogawa stared closely at Tsunayoshi Sawada, and finally made up his mind, "Although others didn't see it, I did see it at that time , The football I kicked and the flames you released hit the stone pillar together, and finally let those people out of danger."

Speaking of this, Edogawa Conan looked a little annoyed, "At that time, the distance was relatively far, and I wasn't sure if I could hit the stone pillar accurately, but if I made a mistake, I might not be able to save those people."

"So you want to say that I actually helped you?" Sawada Tsunayoshi asked clearly.

"Hmm...that's it." Edogawa Conan's tone was a little unnatural, "In short, thank you very much."

After listening to the other party's solemn thanks, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt a little surprised, and he couldn't help asking: "It's strange, compared to the serious and vigilant look just now, is Conan-kun a little obedient now?"

"...That is impossible!" Edogawa Conan adjusted his glasses in embarrassment, "Because I heard that you came here specifically to find Uncle Mouri, and your skills are obviously not ordinary people, so subconsciously I'm preconceived... Ahem, I'm really sorry."

Edogawa Conan's awkward but sincere apology made Tsunayoshi Sawada smile. The aggressive attitude of the other party did not offend Tsunayoshi Sawada. After all, his sudden appearance was indeed very suspicious to him, but there is another A very important question, Tsunayoshi Sawada didn't figure it out.

"So you can see my flames—"

"So what the hell is that flame?"

The two asked different questions at the same time, and then kept silent. Tsunayoshi Sawada was silent for a moment, and squatted down to meet Edogawa Conan's eyes.

"So you can actually see it."

"Ah? If you're talking about the flame at that time, I did see it." Edogawa hesitated, "So... it's not a hallucination, is it?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head, made a decision, and said slowly: "It seems that the person I should be looking for is you."

Edogawa Conan looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi puzzled.

In order not to attract attention, the two came to a nearby small park, which was empty at this point.

After Sawada Tsunayoshi showed off the dead flame, Edogawa Conan didn't recover for a long time. He felt that his world view was being reshaped.

Although Hideichi Akai, who lives in his home, mentioned by chance before, there is a group of people with special abilities in this world, and there are even similar organizations that manage such people and maintain their "over there" order.

It's just that Edogawa Conan firmly believed in scientific materialism at that time, and didn't believe what Akai Shuichi said, but everything he experienced today forced him to believe.

It turns out that such people really exist in this world!This unscientific thing happened to me!

Seeing Conan Edogawa's complex silence, Tsunayoshi Sawada was a little curious, "You seem to accept this kind of thing quickly?"

"...No, it's actually a bit unbelievable. It's just that someone mentioned this kind of thing to me before, but I didn't expect it to happen to me so soon." Edogawa Conan said in a difficult tone, "I need a little time to digest."

"Huh? Do you want me to wait for you here?" Sawada Tsunayoshi asked seriously.

"...How can it be so fast in just one night." Edogawa Conan's eyes twitched, and he finally sighed, "So what is the purpose of your coming to find uncle today?"

"Didn't you overhear it just outside the door? That's what I said."

"Huh? So you knew I was eavesdropping at the door at that time." Edogawa Conan touched his nose in embarrassment, "But what does it have to do with uncle?"

"Because most of the murders that happened in Mihua Town were solved by Maori detectives, this probability is too coincidental, so I found him." Sawada Tsunayoshi explained, "But Maori detectives don't seem to understand what I mean at all. , Judging by his appearance, he should be ignorant of this matter."

After Sawada Tsunayoshi finished speaking, Edogawa Conan fell into a strange silence.

Because almost all the cases that my uncle participated in were solved by using anesthesia needles to make him fall asleep and then using his voice to reason, so the person Sawada Tsunayoshi should be looking for should actually be himself.

Of course he couldn't say such a thing.

"But Conan-kun, you can see my flames, and you have been staying at Mr. Mori's house, so I think you are the one I should look for." Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at him and said slowly, "Because in some way Said that Conan-kun is not an ordinary person."

"...No, I am indeed a real ordinary person." Edogawa Conan said in a serious tone.

really?I do not believe.

Slandering in his heart, Tsunayoshi Sawada continued to ask: "Then what do you think about the high incidence of murder in Mihua Town, Conan-kun?"

Edogawa Conan really thought about it for a while, and then said as it should: "Is there any problem? Where there is a case, there will be detectives. Every time the case comes to us on its own initiative."

This time it was Sawada Tsunayoshi who fell silent.

It took him a long time before he choked out a sentence: "So who are you, Conan-kun...?"

"Conan Edogawa is a detective." He said his famous lines seriously.

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded mechanically, he felt that he and this kid were not on the same channel at all.

It's very late now, and it's not suitable to continue to study, Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed and said that he would send Edogawa Conan back.

"No need, I have already told sister Xiaolan that I am going to stay at the doctor's house for one night today." Edogawa Conan said, "Because there is something wrong with my foot strengthening shoes, I have to take them to him for repair."

"Huh? That pair of your shoes was made by that doctor?" Tsunayoshi Sawada couldn't help being a little curious. Just now Edogawa Conan showed himself his pair of shoes, and it was precisely because of the power of these shoes that he was able to kick them out. That kind of power football.

Tsunayoshi Sawada lamented that this doctor's invention is really powerful, and I really want to visit it if I have the opportunity.

Seeing the curious look on Sawada Tsunayoshi's face, Edogawa Conan thought for a while and asked, "Shall we go to the doctor's house together?"

"Huh? Is it possible?" Tsunayoshi Sawada was surprised, and then he couldn't help laughing, "It's so strange, Conan-kun is defenseless against me again at this time."

"Didn't you say before that we are 'accomplices'." Conan Edogawa had a sly smile in his eyes.

Hearing this answer, he froze for a moment, Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help laughing, and followed Edogawa Conan.

The doctor's house is not far from here, and he followed Conan Edogawa to a private house at No. 2, 22-chome.

"Huh? So the doctor's full name is Dr. Ali." Tsunayoshi Sawada saw the name on the house number, "I always think he is a very powerful inventor."

"No, in fact, he often invents a lot of broken copper and iron." Edogawa Conan said mercilessly.

"Hey, hey, I've heard you mocking me all the way."

The door of the porch was opened, and a fat old man came out to greet him. It was Dr. A Li they were talking about just now.

The two walked in, and Conan Edogawa briefly introduced Tsunayoshi Sawada to Dr. Ari, but did not reveal his overly complicated origin for the time being.

Dr. Ali greeted Tsunayoshi Sawada to sit down in a friendly manner. After hearing that Tsunayoshi Sawada was very interested in his invention, he was even more friendly to him.

"By the way, where's that guy Haibara?" Edogawa Conan looked around but didn't see his other partner.

"Xiao Ai is currently doing an important research in the basement, and it is estimated that she will be busy all night. Do you want me to call her over?"

"No, I don't want to bother her anymore." Edogawa Conan shook his head, and handed the replaced foot-strengthening shoes to Dr. Ali, "Here, there seems to be something wrong with the button, and it keeps making abnormal electrical sounds .”

After taking the shoes and observing carefully, Dr. Ali immediately found the problem, "This will be fixed soon, don't worry. By the way, give me your glasses and butterfly voice changer by the way, so we can do an upgrade together."

Tsunayoshi Sawada, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but be amazed at the complete equipment of Edogawa Conan, even he couldn't help being envious. The ability of this doctor seems to be not inferior to that of Spana and Johnny II he knew. The props invented are really very practical.

"Hmm, after all, I'm a genius inventor." Dr. Ali stroked his beard proudly, and he was greatly benefited from Tsunayoshi Sawada's praise.

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded in earnest to support him.

"I said, brother Sawada will really get carried away if you brag about the doctor like that again." Edogawa Conan twitched the corner of his mouth.

"But the doctor is really powerful." Tsunayoshi Sawada sighed, and to be honest, he was a little ready to move, "I don't know if there will be a chance to hire a doctor..."

"Ah? What did you just say?" Conan Edogawa didn't hear clearly.

Concealing a cough, Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head and said that he didn't say anything.

After seeing many inventions of Dr. Ali with novelty, Tsunayoshi Sawada showed great interest, and it was very pleasant to communicate with Dr. Ali.

After sitting for a while, Tsunayoshi Sawada got up and was about to say goodbye. Conan Edogawa sent him to the entrance.

Watching Sawada Tsunayoshi leave, Edogawa Conan sighed wearily, and turned back to the living room of the doctor's house.

"The friend you brought back is pretty good." Dr. Ali poured a cup of coffee and chatted with him, "But I always feel that Xinyi is in a strange state, what happened?"

Edogawa Conan was silent for a moment, his face full of tangled expressions.

"In short, everything that happened today makes me feel like I'm dreaming..."

***

"So, even you didn't find anything unusual in Mihua Town?"

Gojo Satoru, who came back from a business trip, immediately went to Sawada Tsunayoshi to ask him about the progress of the mission. After listening to Sawada Tsunayoshi's narration, he became very interested.

"Well, I've interviewed a lot of locals, but they don't have any special comments other than admiration for Maori detectives... Ah, you put too much sugar!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi saw that Gojo Satoru had thrown six cubes of sugar into the coffee.

"It's okay, it's fine, this sweetness is just right~" Gojo Satoru continued to throw sugar cubes in it nonchalantly, "Go ahead and talk."

Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head helplessly, and continued: "Because the kid named Conan can see my flames, it is not ruled out that he can also see the curse spirit, but besides that, I also found a... er, it should be Is it related to the "curse"? "

"What is it?"

"That is, wherever the child goes, there will be murders, and the probability is extremely high, so so many murders in Mihua Town should be related to him, but it is still unclear whether it is a coincidence or a "curse". "

After listening, Gojo Satoru rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Mr. Gojo?" Seeing that Gojo Satoru didn't reply for a long time, Sawada Tsunayoshi reminded him aloud.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm just thinking about a very interesting thing." Gojo Satoru's tone suddenly became interesting, "It's too wasteful to put this kind of physique in Mihua Town."

"Ah?" Tsunayoshi Sawada didn't understand Gojo Satoru.

"It's better to airdrop him to the Supervision Department. With his physique, within a month, the upper management of the magic world will definitely reshuffle the cards! Well, this idea is really good, I can't help but sing to him. Listen to me, thank you!" !"

"...Are you serious?" Tsunayoshi Sawada's forehead twitched violently.

"Haha, I'm just kidding." Pleased by Sawada Tsunayoshi's reaction, Gojo Gojo staggered with a smile.

Sawada Tsunayoshi raised his forehead, thinking that you should stop joking in this situation.

"And then what? Tsunayoshi means that kid named Conan is not an ordinary person?"

"Yes, his behavior doesn't look like a primary school student at all... His thinking logic and observation skills are obviously different from ordinary people, but he looks like a real detective."

Recalling the little figure in the banquet hall that day when he was brave enough to save people, and saying that he was a detective in a tone that didn't fit his age in the park, Sawada Tsunayoshi lowered his eyes and couldn't help but smile.

Even though he has realized that the childish appearance is just his disguise, he is really curious about what secrets Edogawa Conan hides under the elementary school student appearance.

"Detective..." Stirring the coffee, Gojo Satoru showed a little interest, "It's really rare that Tsunayoshi would make such an evaluation on a primary school student."

"But his behavior doesn't look like a primary school student at all!" Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help but said.

Until now, he still has lingering fears about the football played by Edogawa that day, that kind of strength will definitely kill people.

Seeing the vivid expression on Sawada Tsunayoshi's face, Gojo Satoru leaned back in his chair and watched quietly. He didn't feel tired from long hours of high-intensity work. On the contrary, the words made him lazy.

"Mr. Gojo?" Seeing the other party's sudden silence, Tsunayoshi Sawada approached with some concern, "Are you too tired? I'm sorry I shouldn't come here to report the mission right after you came back from a business trip."

Stretching his stiff body lazily, looking at the worried face approaching him, Gojo Satoru raised his hand and pinched it in a good mood.

"So this is dependence, right?"

"Huh?" Tsunayoshi Sawada didn't understand Gojo Satoru's inexplicable words.

"Well, it's nothing, but you still have to cheer up, after all, a big battle is about to begin—"
