Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 123 Communication

(I added the missing chapter from yesterday to the end of the previous chapter)

"But why did Professor drink so much alcohol when he knew someone was coming to visit tonight?"

However, after returning to the room, Mingmei was a little confused.

In her impression, Professor Hirota shouldn't be that kind of person! He had already made plans with several people to meet up that evening, so why did he drink so much before that?

"I'm afraid he wants to use the alcohol to reject some people, so that they will give up and express some of his own thoughts at the same time!"

Recalling what happened that night in the original work, Conan said with some uncertainty.

The purpose of Hosoya Kazuhiro's visit was to ask him to write a letter of recommendation for his daughter to help her enter Nanyang University.

Professor Hirota, who knew his purpose in advance, most likely did not want to agree to his request, but it was difficult for him to refuse directly, so he chose to get drunk so that Hosoya would give up on his own.

However, after the arrival of the three of them, they were left aside. It was very likely that this was a trick played by Professor Hirota in order to persuade Hosoya to withdraw.

After all, their purpose was to find the disk left by Mingmei. And finding something like that could take a long time.

What if he forgot the location of the disk and spent an hour or half an hour looking for it? He didn't believe that Xiya, a worker who had to go to work tomorrow, could stay there.

Besides, when he was drunk, he could say things that he couldn't say normally, such as what he said to Shirakura.

If he was sober, as a professor and the other party's teacher, he would definitely not express his true thoughts.

Therefore, speaking the truth after drinking is a good choice.

However, the only thing he didn't expect was that Shirakura, his student, was so bold that he chose to kill him because of his momentary stubbornness and bravado.

After listening to Conan's analysis, Mingmei felt dizzy and had no idea what Conan was talking about.

"Well, anyway, the teacher didn't drink because he forgot that he had guests coming to visit that night, but because he wanted to use me and the power of alcohol to drive away those guests he didn't want to receive, right?"

"I think that's it, isn't it?"

Conan was not very sure, but according to his thinking, this was the most likely idea.

"Hiss, if we let Mr. Hosoya go in first, won't that disrupt the teacher's arrangements?"

Mingmei looked towards Professor Hirota's room with a subtle expression on her face.

According to Conan, if they let Hosoya visit Professor Hirota first, wouldn't that disrupt his plans?

"fine!"

Conan waved his hand indifferently:

“Although we have given up the front seat, it does not mean that Professor Hirota does not have other arrangements.

Besides, what I just said is just my personal speculation. I can't say for sure whether it is the actual situation.

However, in Mingmei's eyes, Conan's image is that of a person who has a plan that is impeccable! He can even fool a big shot like Gin. How could such a person's guess be wrong?

"That's definitely what you guessed! But, in that case, should I go and help the professor out?"

"It's okay! Professor Hirota must have his own ideas. If he really needed our help, he wouldn't have kept us waiting outside for so long."

Besides, if he can stand us up, can't we stand him up in return?"

Conan waved his hand casually, a smile on his face.

"This, okay."

Seeing Conan say this, Mingmei nodded to show that she understood. Then, the surrounding environment suddenly became quiet and the room became deathly silent.

"Ahem, why are you all silent? What are you all thinking about?"

In the end, Mingmei was the first one who couldn't stand this atmosphere and took the initiative to speak, breaking the quiet environment.

"Nothing, I was just wondering, after I get the conditions, what should I ask this great detective to do?"

I can't refuse my sister's face. Xiao Ai thought about it and spoke directly.

"Huh? Are you overthinking it?"

Conan had a smile on his face:

"Got the conditions? Are you so sure you can take me down?"

"Of course!"

Xiao Ai seems to be in a good mood:

"Think about it, the people who came to visit tonight are all Professor Hirota's students, and they all have something to ask of him. So, how could they possibly attack Professor Hirota?"

"Not always."

Conan had a strange expression on his face.

In Mihua, does murder require a motive? Well, it does. But these so-called motives... well, who knows what their motives are!

Sometimes, even though several people appear to be friendly on the surface, in fact, one of them may be harboring anger in his heart and is ready to kill the others at any time!

As I said, after all, this is rice flower!

"?"

After hearing Conan's words, Ai looked at him with some confusion.

After all, she had only been at the Maori Office for a short time and had never seen criminals who were ready to kill people for some bizarre reasons. Therefore, she did not know the meaning of Conan's words.

Seeing Ai's puzzled look, Conan didn't explain. This kind of thing, as long as you stay with him for a long time, you will understand it sooner or later.

Mingmei fell silent after bringing up the topic, and sat beside them, watching the interaction between the two with a smile.

Although she couldn't join in the conversation, she was still very happy when she saw the increasingly varied expressions on her sister's face.

My sister, who didn't have a childhood, has gotten a childhood of her own, even though she's gotten smaller. How wonderful!

The only regret is that her sister has grown smaller, making it difficult to find a boyfriend for her! She deeply regrets this.

Obviously, choosing a boyfriend for my younger sister and urging her to get married are great pleasures for me as an older sister. It's a pity that this pleasure can no longer be realized.

"Ah~"

Meanwhile, Xiao Ai, who was standing beside her, suddenly shivered. After the shiver subsided, she looked around with some confusion.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that someone seemed to be thinking about something very bad just now.

Seeing this scene, Mingmei's eyes became erratic for a moment.

Well, Shiho is still the same Shiho! Her perception is still so sharp.

Just as Ai was looking around in confusion, the door was suddenly pushed open. Hosoya and Hiroshi's expression was a little ugly. However, when he saw the people in the room, he still forced a smile:

"Thank you very much for your time! I have already settled things with the teacher, you can go over now. Oh, the teacher is still a little drunk, please don't mind."
