Stay away from Conan

Chapter 174 The end of the year

"Ahem!"

On the other end of the phone, an old man named Kamu coughed twice and said in a teasing tone, "What, the little girl's wings are hard? Have you forgotten who brought you out of the slum?"

"Okay, of course I still remember it."

The girl said impatiently, "But why did you call me all of a sudden? I heard that you are still hanging around there. Isn't your mission completed?"

"hehe."

Kamu chuckled in a hoarse tone, and then said, "For this, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, Asami Taro, I really can't find him."

"That's fine. Since the mission has been completed, why do you still want to stay there?"

The girl asked in confusion.

"This person was able to hide for sixteen years under the search of the organization. For such a guy, I don't believe that he didn't leave any tricks behind."

Kamu suddenly said with excitement.

"However, if a person dies like a lamp going out, what will happen if there are more back-ups?"

The girl said with some boredom.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about this."

Kamu suddenly said seriously, "I called you today just to tell you that staying in the United States as you is a very good choice. After all, the domestic situation is still too complicated..."

"Okay, okay, Camu."

A little tired, the girl said, "I understand what you said, but after all, I am not a child anymore."

Hearing this, the old man on the other end of the phone suddenly paused for a while, and then said with some emotion:

"Well, that's right. After all, you completed the last mission very well. That fire took care of everything on the scene. It seems that your growth has exceeded my expectations."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

In response, the girl threw the phone back on the table impatiently, and then walked slowly back to the bedroom. However, the girl did not continue to sort out the clothes. Instead, she came to the desk next to the bed and sat down. She thoughtfully opened the drawer of the desk and took out a photo frame.

I saw a photo in the frame.

The content of the photo was very strange, it was taken with a camera and it was a picture frame that was placed on a table.

There is also a photo in the frame of this photo. The background of the photo is a building with the words "Experimental Building" written in English. In front of the building, there were two young girls standing side by side.

One of them is a girl with short brown hair who looks to be thirteen or fourteen years old.

The other one is a fifteen or sixteen year old boy with a stylish brown hair style.

The blond girl looked at the photo in this photo, then chuckled, stretched out her finger, touched the face of the girl with short brown hair in the photo, chuckled, and murmured to herself:

"It's a pity that you probably didn't know what happened the last time we met. This time when I go back, I really want to take a closer look and see what kind of expression you will show when you learn the truth - Sherry!"

But then, the blond girl couldn't help but smile a bit as she remembered the last words Kamu said on the phone - it seems like something else happened after I left!

This is really interesting!

With this thought in mind, the blond girl stood up, put the photo frame into the suitcase, and then continued to sort out her clothes.

…

"Logic: S"

"Knowledge: S"

"Observation: S"

"Comprehensive evaluation of stage three: S"

"The promotion challenge is over, and the comprehensive evaluation of each stage has begun."

"Comprehensive evaluation of each stage: B, S, S"

"Settlement Completed"

"Comprehensive evaluation of promotion challenge: A"

"If the results are passed, the promotion is successful, the reward will be 200, and the promotion reward will be awarded."

Looking at the settlement screen, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little happy. Although the score in "Phase One" was a bit low, fortunately, the subsequent scores were enough. But I have to say that I had some good luck this time.

Thinking like this, new words appeared.

"Detective Rating: Certified Detective"

"Having been certified as an official detective, your intuition has been significantly improved and you can better complete tracking and counter-tracking."

"Bounty: 1210"

"Promotion reward (not claimed)"

Seeing this, Gao Yuan didn't think much and decisively chose to receive it immediately, and then new text appeared:

"Promotion reward: one-time props"

"Name: God of Death"

"Special effects: You can choose one of the following two effects to use: ① Use it on yourself, and you will have a high probability of death in the next 24 hours. ② Use it on the dying person, and in the next 24 hours It can hinder the arrival of death (Note: This effect has side effects. Even if the dying person can be revived, there is a high probability that he will never wake up). After using any of these effects, this prop will disappear."

"How to use: Press the target's heart with your right hand, and then sincerely pray for death to come."

Looking at the text description of this "disposable prop", Gao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, and then felt a little helpless - to be honest, if the second effect did not include the text in brackets, this would really be an extremely What a shame for such a powerful prop.

As for the first effect, staying with Kudo Shinichi seems to have a similar effect!

"By the way, Mr. Akechi."

Seeing Gao Yuan in a daze after receiving the check, Ooka Momiji couldn't help but remind him, bringing Gao Yuan's attention back to reality.

"What's wrong, Miss Hongye?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"The murderer has been identified."

Ooka Momiji said, "The other party seems to have some misunderstanding with my family... I'm sorry, Mr. Akechi, I don't know how to explain it to you at the moment."

"Well, no need."

Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "Now that the police have investigated to this extent, it will be a matter of time before the murderer confesses, and I don't need to participate anymore."

"That's it."

Ooka Momiji said, "Well, Mr. Akechi, what are your plans next?"

"If nothing else, I'm ready to go home."

Gao Yuan said truthfully, "After all, the New Year is coming soon."

In this regard, Ooka Momiji said nothing more. After sending Gao Yuan to the Kyoto Shinkansen station, the two said goodbye.

As for Gao Yuan, because he had gained huge wealth this time, he immediately rushed back to Tokyo and prepared to make some renovations to his residence - especially the study room with the entrance to the basement.

After all, in the entire villa, apart from his own bedroom, there was only a bookshelf in that room, which seemed so out of place. If anyone was curious about it, the basement would be discovered soon.

So, for several days, Takayuan spent time decorating this study room. For this purpose, he bought a lot of high-end bookshelves to decorate the room, and also bought a complete set of mystery novels by Kudo Yusaku and Sunaga Hirubi, and put them together. Put it on the bookshelf, and then bought a lot of world-renowned mystery works and some miscellaneous books, and finally decorated this room to a degree similar to the study room of Kudo Shin's family——

Now, unless you know it in advance, no one would think that there is a basement entrance hidden here!

However, after finishing all this, it is already the early morning of the last day of the year! After working hard for so long, Gao Yuan looked at his completed masterpiece and fell asleep with satisfaction.

However, in the early morning of that day, when it was still dark and Gao Yuan was still sleeping, a woman with long black hair stood outside the iron gate of Gao Yuan's house and carefully put a leaflet into the door. in the mailbox outside.
