Unable to explain the professional and non-professional groups to his daughter, Mouri Kogoro returned home angrily, opened a can of beer and picked up the phone.
"Who are you calling?" Mao Lilan put down her bag and prepared to enter the kitchen.
"Megure Police Department, didn't you also listen to what they said? Megure Police Department is going to have a baby. I will make an appointment to come and congratulate you." Mouri Kogoro replied while dialing.
"But didn't the Gumeimen Police Department also say... that..." Mao Lilan said with a complicated expression.
When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he became very angry and complained with some grievance:
"No matter where a case happens wherever I go, don't harm the Memu Police Department family. Not coming to your door is the best blessing.
Obviously I was so kind to help them solve the case, but they still said this about me..."
"..."
Mao Lilan's face became even more embarrassed. That's what you call kindhearted help...
And it is true that we have been encountering murder cases recently. Is there really any problem?
"Moxi Moxi? Memu Police Department, this is me, Maori. I heard that you are going to have a child. Congratulations..."
Mao Lilan shook his head helplessly, turned and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Kogoro Mouri was on the phone, and Conan was on the phone too, but he was in the phone booth downstairs.
"I just happened to want to call you, and it seems that the two of us have thought of getting together." Hattori Heiji said on the other end of the phone.
"Huh? Such a coincidence? Did you find out something?" Conan was surprised, and then he immediately guessed what the other party meant.
Hattori Heiji smiled proudly, "Yes, I did gain something, but you should tell me first, why are you looking for me?"
Conan laughed twice and said, "Uh... my side of things is not very important, so you should talk about it first."
Hattori Heiji keenly sensed something was wrong, "It's better if you say it first."
"It's really not important..."
"Tell me."
"I defeated Gu Meimen Criminal today..." Conan said weakly.
"???" Hattori Heiji was silent for a while, "That's it? You called me specifically just to tell me this?"
Conan scratched his head, "Well... the main reason is that although I found out the truth earlier than Gu Meimen Criminal, I can't reason face to face, so I want to tell you..."
"..." Hattori Heiji almost laughed angrily, "No one will know that you feel depressed after winning, right?
Do you have to show off to me to feel more comfortable? Thanks to me for trying so hard to help you investigate..."
Conan quickly apologized and said, "That's why I said my things are not important, and I told you because I thought you would understand my feelings.
Besides…don’t you want to know the process of this case I won?”
Hattori Heiji choked up. He did feel like he wanted to know more about this case, just a little bit.
How did you win?
"Okay, we'll talk about this later. You first talk about your findings."
Hattori Heiji said unhappily: "I asked my old man about it, and I almost got beaten for asking about these things..."
"Hard work, hard work!" Conan said quickly.
"The situation of the Prosecutor General of Gumei is a bit strange. You should know something. In this country, simply being capable is of no use. You will get stuck at a certain level.
And the prosecutor general’s background, education, etc., taken together, should not be enough for him to sit in his current position."
Conan changed his hand to hold the phone, with a thoughtful look on his face, "Then how did he do it?"
"How could I know this, but there are some clues." Hattori Heiji crossed his legs with a serious look on his face.
"Twenty years ago, he was just a prosecutor and was selected into the Special Investigation Department. His extraordinary promotion is probably related to his experience in the Special Investigation Department."
"A special agency under the prosecutor's office is responsible for investigating corruption, tax evasion and economic bribery cases involving politicians."
Conan scratched his head a little, he didn't know much about officialdom, "Can you be promoted to an extraordinary level if you join the Special Investigation Department?"
"It does happen, but..." Hattori Heiji paused, "How should I put it? The prosecutors of the Special Investigation Department are all selected from various places, elite prosecutors or deputy prosecutors with at least ten years of experience.
thing.
Usually these people are around thirty to forty years old - just when they are rich in experience and still young and strong.
The chief prosecutor of the Gumei Gate was forty years old when he entered the Special Investigation Department.
If he had entered the Special Investigation Department at the age of thirty, then these following experiences would not seem too strange.
Just like my old man, he is in his forties and is already a police supervisor, but that is because he went very smoothly in the early stage, and it becomes more and more difficult for him to move up the ladder."
Conan understood somewhat and said: "He was only selected into the special search department at the age of forty, which shows that he was not the kind of talent who was highly regarded and had an outstanding background."
"That's it, so it's a bit strange. I'm afraid there is something wrong here.
It’s just that I can’t ask any more questions, and I don’t want to say more to my old man at the prosecutor’s office.”
Hattori Heiji said as he took off his hat and fanned himself.
"This information is already very rare. I didn't expect you to know so much about officialdom. These are the things I'm least good at. It's a big help." Conan said sincerely.
Hattori Heiji smiled awkwardly, "Uh... I actually don't understand either. After all, these things are boring and depressing. They all came from my mother."
Conan: "..."
…
After getting off work, Shizuo Komemon went directly to the high-end apartment where Suzuki Ayako lived. He had been living here for the past two days. He didn't know how it ended up like this.
Looking back now, it was probably just...a few meaningless conversations.
-
Are you leaving?
-
Well, it's getting late.
-
Jingjun... lives in the car, right?
-
That's right.
-
So, are you going to stay in the parking lot below the apartment tonight? -
Pretty much...maybe a nearby park.
-
Isn't this strange? I obviously have a guest room here... I also stayed at a villa in Gunma Prefecture before...
Then, Shizuo Komemon stayed overnight in a daze that night, of course, just staying overnight.
The problem is that the next day, he stayed overnight again...
so……
"Some things only have zero and countless times", "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality", "Desire is like a mountain and a rolling stone. Once you start, you can never stop."
In short, even if a lot of principles are hung in the head vigilantly, they will have no effect.
"You worked hard today, Jingjun~"
Seeing Suzuki Ayako's crescent-shaped eyebrows and smile, Komemon Shizuo felt an indescribable tranquility.
Some pent-up needs have been flowing over the dam like a flood, and there is an urge to indulge in the present and not think about the future, even tomorrow...
