When I Bind the Plot Maintenance System

Chapter 73:

Edogawa Conan initially thought that Zhu Fukong Ryo was separated from his parents and brothers since childhood and was adopted by someone. But after seeing the time in the newspaper, I knew that the time was not right, so I asked again if it was my own life.

Having a blood relationship does not mean that it is biological, maybe it is a cousin who is more closely related, and then the answer given by Zhu Fu Kongliang is indeed “not biological”. But even so, Zhu Fukongliang also said that he was the only “relative” left.

Edogawa Conan intuitively felt that something was not right, but he couldn’t say it for a while-it wasn’t until the back of Zhu Fukongliang’s departure disappeared and Maurilan said that, Edogawa Conan didn’t react.

“Nozaki-kun is really a very gentle person.” Mao Lilan said: “I have never seen or contacted each other at all, let alone my biological brother, but I am still paying attention to the whereabouts of that brother.”

Hearing this, Edogawa Conan immediately realized the violation!

According to his age, the high school student who calls himself Nozaki Umetaro has been adopted by his current parents since he was a child. According to the newspaper, if the couple in Nagano died and the 7-year-old son (Kimitsu Zhufu) disappeared, at this time, Nozaki Umetaro would still be not born.

After he was born later, the only possible contact with him was the “eldest son” (Zhufu Gaoming) who was mentioned in the newspaper.

But if there is contact with the eldest son (Zhufu Takaaki), Nozaki Umetaro should not know the situation of the missing child (Zhufu Jingguang) until now.

And even if you want to find someone, according to how close you are, you should be looking for the “eldest son” in the newspaper, and it will never be Nozaki Umetaro’s turn. Or, Nozaki Umetaro’s first choice should be to ask the eldest son (Zofu Takaaki)?

“Didn’t Nozaki-kun just say it? He doesn’t want to disturb the lives of the two older brothers now. If he asks this question to the elder brother who has lost his parents and his younger brother, it will cause harm to that elder brother, right?” Mao Lilan guessed so.

Edogawa Conan blinked: “Is that really true?”

“But brother Nozaki said just now that he ‘always knew he had a brother’, but after he was born, the second brother should have disappeared. Why didn’t he know about it?”

It has been 22 years. It is not so much a sudden curiosity and concern… Rather, it is precisely because of some unexpected related events that recently happened that Nozaki-kun began to pay attention to this missing (non-biological) brother.

When Mao Lilan conveyed this commission to Maori Kogoro, Mouri Kogoro directly refused: “Impossible, Xiaolan, please help me refuse, I can’t do this commission.”

Mao Lilan couldn’t help shouting, “…Dad!”

Maori Kogoro rarely said seriously: “Xiao Lan, do you know what 22 years represent? You were not even born 22 years ago. Even now, it is difficult to find a child who has been missing for more than 24 hours.”

Mao Lilan is just too gentle and kind, but it doesn’t mean she is ignorant. Of course she understands the difficulty of this matter.

After relaying his father’s remarks to Nozaki-kun, the other party also expressed his understanding, so it was over.

It was like an ordinary episode in their daily life.

Until a subsequent case, Edogawa Conan heard the key words from the prisoner’s mouth that made his heart skip a beat.

“This is all forcing me by the people in black!” the prisoner roared incompetently.

This is an amusement park, Suzuki Sonoko invited Maurilan to play together, and of course he also brought Edogawa Conan.

During the game, an explosion occurred suddenly. Just as the case was hinted by Edogawa Conan intentionally or unintentionally, it was broken. When the police asked about the source of the explosive, the prisoner replied.

Edogawa Conan immediately wanted to ask, but Officer Meguro was one step faster than him, “Black clothes?”

The prisoner seemed to want to speak, but at the moment Edogawa Conan stared at the prisoner, he noticed that the prisoner seemed to see something terrible, and suddenly swallowed, swallowing the words that were about to blurt out. go back.

Edogawa Conan immediately looked in the direction the prisoner was looking at, but apart from the onlookers, he found no problem.

The direction the prisoner was staring in, the most obvious one was a couple. A very tall, half-long-haired young man in a black shirt was bending slightly and talking to his girlfriend beside him. The girlfriend had an embarrassed expression on his face, and replied something with his face turned sideways.

The young man’s beautiful purple drooping eyes brought a little smile, and then he helped his girlfriend to block the surrounding crowd and left this position.

The case has ended, and the passers-by around have begun to leave, and their actions are not abrupt.

There is nothing strange except that the young man is too handsome and easy to notice at first glance.

Edogawa Conan retracted his gaze, gritted his teeth and continued to observe that direction, but no matter how he looked, he couldn’t see anyone with a problem!

The reason why Edogawa Conan is so sensitive to “black clothes” is that not long ago, he overheard a phone call from the man who made him what he is now.

On the other side of the phone was a young man, and he said in a frivolous tone: [Seriously, Gin, don’t you think the rules of the organization are too old-fashioned and rigid–or a middle school? 】

【what? Are you saying my two words mean the exact opposite? 】 This sentence is not said to Jin Jiu, and Jin Jiu has not complained about it, so there should be someone next to the person on the other side of the phone.

[But I’m serious~ You see, black clothes are fine, strange code names are fine – really, I suspect that I am using the nickname of Cowherd! 】

[Besides, if you are required to wear black clothes or something, let’s not mention that all black suits are black suits. If you wear black, everyone will suspect that you are a bad person! Of course, you don’t count—even in a black suit, you’re the most handsome! 】

This sentence was obviously not said to Gin on the other side of the phone. After the topic gradually shifted, Gin was obviously impatient, and he shouted: “Granta!”

And at this moment, the person known as Granta said with a low smile: [By the way, Gin—the noise on your side is really strong, are you in the parking lot? 】

Then, Edogawa Conan could no longer listen.

But this call that he boldly overheard gave Edogawa Conan a lot of information.

First of all, this organization is a sufficiently large and complex organization – after all, to be able to develop such a drug, it itself requires absolutely sufficient funds. Although at first Gin just used this drug as a poison, it turned out to be an accident or something…

Secondly, according to the currently known information, the members of this organization will all wear black clothes, and the code name-high probability is related to alcohol.

Edogawa Conan’s knowledge about wine is not too deep. When he went back that day, he searched for the name of the wine, and the most suitable one should be…

Glenturret, a Highland whisky, has an alcohol content of 43.4%. *

hateful! Obviously the clue is in front of you, but the result is still one step away! Edogawa Conan clenched his fists, but his face had a sweet tone like Maurilan’s coquetry.

“Sister Xiaolan! I’ll go to the toilet!”

“Do you want me to take you there?” Maurilan asked.

“No need! I know the way!” Saying that, Edogawa Conan waved his hand and ran towards the toilet.

Speaking of going to the toilet, Edogawa Conan just stood in front of the sink and washed his face with cold water. Calm down, calm down a little bit, there’s definitely something else he’s overlooked.

With this thought in mind, Edogawa Conan was about to go back, but unexpectedly met the “girlfriend” he saw at the scene just now.

The lady with long hair and shawl was talking on the phone, and the young man with half-long hair was not by her side at this time.

Edogawa Conan didn’t care too much at first, but when he was passing by, he heard the lady say: “Oh, what a pity, Reiko, do you know? I just met a man of super high level. !”

“What, it was the other party who talked to me first! I didn’t take the initiative… But it was almost successful, and he left after answering the phone.”

“Um… Not sure, I only heard the name of some wine vaguely mentioned on the phone, maybe it was an appointment at a bar? But also, that man doesn’t look like I can handle it – it’s definitely a love scene. Veteran!”

“But I’m still so sad. Even with such a good opportunity, I’m not at a loss for sleep!” The shawl lady complained: “It’s decided! Let’s have a drink in the evening! I’m going to drink Granta!”

“I don’t know what kind of wine it is, but this is what I heard – just treat it as a tribute to my hundreds of first loves!”

Edogawa Conan stopped stiffly, took a deep breath, his face immediately took on the panicked expression of a child, and took the initiative to greet him: “Hey! Big sister, have you seen a cute dolphin pendant! ”

When the lady said apologetically no, Edogawa Conan said without crying: “Woo woo woo, that’s my sister’s birthday present… The last time I saw it, I saw you at that time too. With your boyfriend… I was thinking, will you find it…”

The lady with long hair in the shawl is obviously a soft-hearted person, she explained: “That person is not my boyfriend… But he may have seen him – he went over there, you can ask my little friend? Okay. ”

Edogawa Conan burst into tears and smiled: “Thank you, big sister!”

The childish expression on Edogawa Conan’s face disappeared immediately when he turned around. This is an amusement park, and it’s not unusual for a kid like him to run around, and it won’t attract anyone’s attention at all.

One run and one walk, Edogawa Conan finally caught up with the half-long-haired youth before leaving the park. As a result, just when he wanted to catch up further, Edogawa Conan was suddenly pulled in by a person at the corner and covered his mouth!

Edogawa Conan was about to struggle subconsciously, when he heard the person who controlled him whisper in a somewhat familiar voice: “Shh – someone is coming.”

Edogawa Conan’s pupils shrank, and at this moment, he heard footsteps from the other side. If he chased out just now, he would definitely run into someone head-on!

The half-long-haired young man stopped and said with a smile, “Yeah, long time no see, Scotland~ Did you come to the amusement park on a date too?”

“Date? If you mean a date that invites you to hell, then you can say that,” said another gentle, unfamiliar male voice.

“Haha, you are still joking as always.” The half-long-haired young man complained half-truth: “Really, I just need to tell him not to tell the secret, and I need to finish it. let me come?”

“There was an accident after all,” Scotland replied.

Edogawa Conan was close to the person who was holding him, and his ears were very close to the chest of the person behind him. Therefore, while he heard his own pounding heartbeat, he could also hear the person behind him calm down. heart beating sound.

At this time, the two people who were chatting suddenly muted, and the person with a high probability of being Granta suddenly said: “By the way, Scotland, do you know what Granta’s most famous rumor is?”

Scotland: “What is it?”

“It’s a cat~” Granta looked at the corner and said with a smile: “In the past, many distilleries would keep cats to drive away the mice that ate them, and a cat named Towser guarded Grant. Tower, during its nearly 24-year lifespan, set a Guinness record for catching rats.”*

“Why all of a sudden?” Scotland asked.

“Haha, so I actually hate mice too much… Ah, did I steal Gin’s lines? I mean biological mice? After all, it’s so dirty!”

Edogawa Conan’s breathing stopped at this moment. If he was not hugged tightly by the person behind him and gagged his mouth, he would have wondered if he could not help screaming.

As the footsteps approached, Edogawa Conan almost felt that his heartbeat overlapped with the increasingly heavy footsteps.

The big drops of sweat condensed into a single drop and fell onto the hand of the other man covering his mouth.

“Da-” The footsteps stopped.

The author has something to say:

Note 1: From Baidu.

TheGlenturret Trinity, a single malt whisky from Scotland’s oldest distillery, is deep golden in colour, clear and translucent, with intense aromas of ginger, cherries and white grapes, with hints of cinnamon and dates on the palate, and Light oak and green apple aromas.

Note 2, from Baidu.

Every successful winery is inseparable from a silently dedicated cat. Although most wineries have achieved modern automation, making it impossible for rats to invade, there are still a few wineries that still retain their traditions. Entrust the Primordial Eater to continue guarding the precious whisky.

The bravest cat in the world is a female cat named Towser who once guarded one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, Granta Glenturret. During Towser’s nearly 24-year-old life (equivalent to more than 100 human years), she set the Guinness World Record for catching rats (28,899), and the actual number may be far more than that.
