Chapter 56: Yoko Okino's Invitation

In the basement, Conan was confronting a woman with a knife. Not long ago, he found the woman in the house and secretly followed her to the basement. He unexpectedly found an unshaven man locked inside. Because Ayumi accidentally

When he made some noise and was noticed by the woman, Conan had no choice but to step forward.

Conan made some reasoning and revealed the identity of the woman. She was the hostess of this house, the wife of the deceased, and the man in the cage was her son.

The man killed his father, and the woman didn't want to see her son go to jail, so she concealed the truth and kept him locked up here.

For five years, the man had been suffering from conscience rebuke and decided to face reality and surrender, but the woman did not allow him to do so and wanted to wait until the statute of limitations for prosecution expired before releasing him. The reason why the neighbors heard the terrible noise in the middle of the night was because

It was because the woman came to deliver food at midnight every day, and the man's painful screams happened to be heard.

When Conan exposed the truth, the woman was furious and pushed Conan to the wall. She raised the knife in her hand high and was about to stab him when a coin suddenly flew from the darkness and knocked the knife down!

"Madam, I advise you not to make the same mistake again and again!" Narumi Kiyotaka slowly walked out of the darkness. When he saw the person coming, Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who are you?" the woman asked nervously.

"For the time being, he is considered to be this kid's guardian, and he is also a detective." Narumi Kiyotaka said calmly: "You keep your son here forever, what's the difference between this and going to jail?"

"Shut up!" the woman said angrily. As a mother, she didn't want to treat her son like this, but she felt that doing so was for her son's good and she couldn't let murder affect his future.

Narumi Kiyotaka continued: "Do you want to wait until the statute of limitations for the case expires? Five years? Ten years? Or fifteen years? If you had asked him to surrender back then, and he accidentally killed someone, and then found a better lawyer, in five years, he would have almost been out.

Prison, but also a new life.

If he continues to evade like this, what will happen even if the retroactive statute of limitations expires? Looking at him, does he still look like a human being? Even if he can escape legal sanctions, he cannot escape the condemnation of his own conscience. "

"Mom, he's right. I really can't bear it anymore. I dream about my father's tragic death every night. I want to surrender. I want to atone for my sins!" the man in the cage said with a painful look on his face.

Thinking of the suffering her son endured day and night, the woman finally couldn't help crying.

Narumi Kiyotaka gave the two of them one day. If they did not surrender, he would call the police directly. Fortunately, the two found out that they were lost and turned themselves in early the next morning. An unresolved case that had been in a deadlock finally came to light five years later.

On the other side, the three little ones also had to go home and surrender, vowing never to do such a thing again. Of course, everyone understands!

Time passed by again, and on this day, a beautiful woman whom I had not seen for a long time came to visit the office.

"I heard that Ms. Yoko has recently accepted another TV series. The filming should start soon. Why are you suddenly free to come here?" Narumi Kiyotaka said with a smile after making a cup of tea for the other party.

The visitor was the popular idol Okino Yoko. As Narumi Kiyotaka became more and more famous, the scandal between the two was mentioned from time to time. Although they did not have a real relationship, they became real friends.

Okino Yoko pursed her lips and smiled and said: "To be honest, I took the liberty to come here today just for this TV series."

Okino Yoko took out the prepared script and handed it to Narumi Kiyotaka, "This is a mystery drama adapted from a novel. The author of the novel has passed away long ago. Due to the different background eras, many parts need to be adapted, especially the mystery part. The director

I wanted to hire a professional as a consultant, so I took it upon myself to recommend Mr. Narumi, and I ask for your forgiveness, Mr. Narumi."

Narumi Kiyotaka took a look and saw that it was actually adapted from Edogawa Ranpo's novel. To be honest, although he had heard about the other party for a long time, he had never actually read any of his novels.

Okino Yoko also had good intentions, and Narumi Kiyotaka couldn't refuse, "I want to read the script first and give you an answer tomorrow, how about it?"

Okino Yoko nodded, "No problem."

After sending Okino Yoko away, Narumi Kiyotaka began to read the script carefully to gain a foundation of writing skills. Narumi Kiyotaka soon discovered that there were many problems in the script.

First of all, the background of the story has been suddenly transferred from the 1930s to the 1990s. Huge changes have taken place in all aspects, but the script has only been slightly modified. The characters' habits are incompatible with the contemporary era, which is unspeakably inconsistent. Secondly, the criminal investigation methods of the 1930s were used in the cases in the 1990s.

It’s simply worse than Ke Xue!

Narumi Kiyotaka changed the script again and again, and when Conan came back, he asked him to help read it. From the perspective of a detective, Narumi Kiyotaka's changes were very reasonable. But from the perspective of fans, Conan was a little hard to accept.

, many places have been changed beyond recognition.

"If you really change like this, you will definitely be sprayed to death!" Conan said mercilessly.

Narumi Kiyotaka also realized this. When he returned the script to Okino Yoko the next day, Narumi Kiyotaka said: "Sorry, the changes are not very good. You should find someone else."

Okino Yoko was a little surprised when she heard Narumi Kiyotaka's refusal. Then she saw the faint dark circles on Narumi Kiyotaka's face, which showed that he had obviously spent a lot of effort. Feeling that he had done bad things with good intentions, Okino Yoko felt a little sorry, "I should say sorry."

I'm the one who's in charge, let Mr. Narumi take the trouble."

On the way back, Okino Yoko carefully read the script revised by Narumi Kiyotaka. The more he read, the more surprised he became. It was completely different from the original script. The other party almost re-wrote the entire script.

"Yoko, we're here!"

After hearing the reminder from her agent, Okino Yoko realized that she had accidentally become fascinated by the novel. The original novel was very rigorous, and perhaps mystery lovers would like it, but for an ordinary person like her, it was too brain-burning and difficult to read.

Understand. In comparison, Narumi Kiyotaka's version is very easy to understand, almost like a light novel.

"What's wrong with this? The changes are obviously very good!" Yoko Okino murmured.

Okino Yoko came to see the director. She originally wanted to tell him directly about Narumi Kiyotaka's rejection, but after seeing such a good script, she couldn't bear to give up. After much hesitation, Okino Yoko decided to take matters into her own hands and first tell Narumi Kiyotaka.

Hai Qinglong's revised script was given to the director for review.

Taketoshi Gondo is a well-known director. He has been in the industry for decades and has rich experience. You can tell whether the script is good or bad at a glance. If this script is not under the name of Edogawa Rampan, it will be garbage. To someone

To be honest, he didn't care about the change at all. The reason why he agreed to Okino Yoko's invitation to be a consultant was because of his reputation.

Gondo Taketoshi originally just wanted to take a casual look, but after reading the first page, he was completely stunned. Is this still the original script?

"Director Gondo, what do you think?" Yoko Okino asked expectantly.

"I think it's best to change the name of this drama." Taketoshi Gondo said with a strange expression.
