Chapter 307 Toru Amuro's Probing Plan
"..."
boom!
Haibara Ai's face turned completely red, she lowered her head, and her whole aura visibly wilted.
"Is it Senior Xiaolan?" Yin Jiu originally wanted to see what Xiao Shirley was going to do, but when he heard the familiar voice, he subconsciously reached out and pulled Haibara Ai.
The embarrassed little girl just buried her face, too embarrassed to look at Conan again.
Goodbye to this terrible world!
Yin Jiu glanced at the slightly raised front of Huiyuan Ai's leather shoes, and lovingly rubbed Huiyuan Ai's brown hair, which had begun to fade due to the medication, and then spoke seriously after a pause, "Xiao Ai, this is not intentional coquetry. It's just the normal tone of speech for a person of this age. There's no need for you to make such a fuss."
"Really?" Conan was a little hesitant to recognize the little friend in front of him. Looking at the little girl buried in Yin Jiu's arms with an ostrich vibe, he felt unwell.
Toru Amuro, who was also looking at a few people, looked away with an indescribable look.
At least for now, it seems that this little girl is not a member of the organization.
Yin Jiu gave up going to the movies without hesitation, obviously treating Haibara Ai as an ordinary seven-year-old child.
In addition, the fact that the other party stayed by Yin Jiu's side for such a long time without taking any action made it more likely that he was a spy planted by other official agencies.
No wonder a large group of FBI liaisons came to Japan. I'm afraid there's more to this than just tracking down Vermouth.
Toru Amuro thought about it and considered installing some eavesdropping devices on Haibara Ai.
Yin Jiu, however, had already taken the initiative to approach Maori Kogoro, "Uncle, did you receive a commission today? Why did you come to the Daikoku Building?"
Yin Jiu glanced at the few people and found the short-haired woman at the back. He blinked and said, "This is..."
"This is Qingdao Zendai." Maori Kogoro subconsciously reached out to introduce the acquaintance, "This is Yin Jiu, my daughter's junior from the same school."
"Hello." Yin Jiu nodded to the Qingdao delegation.
The two of them exchanged a few simple greetings, and Maori Kogoro quickly got back to business, "By the way, Miss Zendai, what can we do for you? If we leave now, we'll be back just in time for the movie to start."
"Movie?" Yin Jiu tilted his head subconsciously when he heard the familiar word.
"Actually, my father wanted to take us to see Miss Yoko's new movie today, but he accidentally lost the tickets..." Seeing that her father's attention had returned to Qingdao Quandai, Mao Lilan took the initiative to share her experience, "The kind lady just now said that she could give us the tickets, but..."
"But as a price, you have to do her a favor in return?" The more Yin Jiu listened, the more he felt that this approach was like the plot of NPCs issuing tasks in the game, and subconsciously continued Mao Lilan's words.
"That's right!" Mao Lilan nodded.
Yin Jiu: “…”
"Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome." Yin Jiu was silent for two seconds, then took out the three movie tickets from Huiyuan Ai, who closed her eyes and didn't want to see the world. "We happen to have three movie tickets here, which is the one you want to watch. If you need them, you can take them directly."
"That's such a coincidence," Mao Lilan subconsciously took Yin Jiu's ticket, but soon she looked at Huiyuan Ai in embarrassment and said hesitantly, "But didn't this kid want to go and see it just now? Otherwise..."
"That's no problem at all. Conan just doesn't want to go and see it. I can pay three times the price and take your little brat in with me."
In fact, Kogoro Maori had been paying attention to Yin Jiu's movements. When he saw the three tickets Yin Jiu took out, he rushed over with his eyes shining.
“…?” Huibara Ai raised her head a little.
No, she had absolutely no intention of going to the movies with this old man.
"Dad!" Mao Li Ran also grabbed Mao Li Kogoro with an embarrassed look on her face.
Yin Jiu, however, generously waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, "We had no intention of watching it anyway, especially since the ticket was for a restricted horror movie. I was worried that if a child of Xiao Ai's age watched it, it might leave a psychological trauma."
"Then I won't go either!" Conan immediately took a big step back and distanced himself from Maori Kogoro. He didn't really want to watch this kind of horror movie starring a female idol, and now seeing Amuro Toru and Yin Jiu, he couldn't even move.
Mao Lilan was also a little hesitant. She was really afraid of ghosts. "Oi... horror movies made by idol stars shouldn't be that scary, right?"
"It's hard to say. After the Earth Ladies Team disbanded, Yoko Okino has actually been exploring the path to transformation of her career. This movie can be said to be a bold attempt she made." Yin Jiu thought for a moment and told the truth directly, "And the movie that Director Kinoshita recommended to me must have its unique features. Putting aside the horror core of the movie, the movie itself should still be worth watching."
Mao Lilan: (?_? ) So is it scary or not?
"It's better for minors not to watch it." Amuro Toru listened for a long time, but didn't hear any bias in Yin Jiu's words. Seeing the innocent and stupid high school student about to take the movie ticket, he couldn't help coughing and said, "If you don't watch horror movies like this often, don't try it easily."
With the advice of Toru Amuro, a seemingly reliable adult, it was natural for Ran Mouri to abandon her old father and join Conan's camp.
"Then I won't go either."
"Okay, okay, I'll go alone." Kogoro Mouri didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He didn't notice the restricted logo on the movie ticket at first.
Now that I know, I hope Ran Mouri and Conan don't follow her.
However, this way.
"Miss Zendai, what do you need us to do?" Maori Kogoro did not abandon his previous promise immediately. After collecting the ticket, he turned his attention back to Qingdao Zendai, "If it doesn't take a long time, I will help you deal with the matter first."
"Ah, this..." Qingdao Quandai's original plan was to kill her sister today and then find a scapegoat to serve as a witness to her alibi.
However, after seeing Yin Jiu's unforgettable handsome face, combined with the suggestive surname "Maori", even Qingdao Quandai, who never watched the news, was a little hesitant at this moment.
Could it be... Could it be the sleeping Kogoro Mori?
A cold sweat broke out on Qingdao Quandai's forehead and she quietly pushed the ticket towards her inner clothes. However, at this moment, she discovered that Maori Kogoro was obviously well prepared - the opponent's position and the encirclement of Yin Jiu and his group just blocked her escape route.
Qingdao Quandai: "..." Damn it, could it be that the other party saw through her plan at the first sight? She thought that she could easily complete her alibi for the murder by catching someone on the street... But she didn't expect that the current detective was so easy to catch, and he was so "contractual" that he completely entangled her.
Qingdao Quandai's face changed again and again. He silently clenched the movie ticket in his hand, and had an urge to call the police and turn himself in.
"Wouldn't this be too much trouble, Mr. Maori? And I didn't give you any movie tickets." Qingdao Quandai pretended to be embarrassed.
"Let's talk about it first, maybe the rest of us can help?" Amuro Toru noticed that the moment Qingdao Zendai saw Yin Jiu, his expression became stiff, and he intuitively felt that something was wrong with this person.
So without hesitation, he stepped on the possible escape route of Qingdao Quandai, and "cooperated" with Maori Kogoro to complete the encirclement position.
It looks very suspicious, let’s keep the person here first.
This is also a great opportunity to observe Kudo Shinichi and Haibara Ai together.
Rather than this accidental and insignificant danger, Bourbon was more concerned about the secrets between the shrunken detective and Grace Ahara.
Especially since Kogoro Mori's daughter was also left alone, children are always easier to conquer than adults.
After leaving Mouri Kogoro and leading the team, Amuro Toru was confident that he could get the information he wanted from Mouri Ran.
The premise is that there is something wrong with the Maori family.
"Will that be too much trouble for you?" This time it was Maori Kogoro's turn and he felt a little embarrassed. He was the one who took the job, so how could he let Yin Jiu's agent run errands for him?
"No, this lady can ask you for help before the movie starts, so it's probably not a particularly difficult thing to do. Our afternoon plans have already been disrupted, so we have plenty of time." Amuro revealed a very friendly smile, "Besides, everyone lives nearby, so when I send Xiaojiu home later, I can also take Xiaolan and Conan with me."
"Then... I'll leave it to you." Kogoro Mori felt that what Amuro Toru said made sense. He looked at the time again, hesitated for a few seconds between watching a movie and doing business, and chose to compromise.
