Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 836 Ghost, time killing incident

"I am the keeper of time..."

"Stupid woman who dares to profane the passage of time, as a punishment, at the moment you were born in this world, stop your time with an invisible sword, respectfully, the guardian of time..."

Maori Detective Agency happened to be after school, and the uncle who had been idle for a few days took on a big case for the first time.

"Is this a threatening letter with a murder notice?"

"yes……"

Sitting opposite the uncle is a young and honest middle-aged man who works as a housekeeper in a rich family. He is around 40 years old with a high hairline and a clumsy orangutan face. He introduces himself as Qingmei Yuedao.
"Since two years ago, it will be sent every year when my wife's birthday is approaching. This kind of anonymous letter without a sender..."

"But, from two years ago..."

"Yes, the previous birthday parties were safe and sound, but because the lady and the guests mentioned the relationship between this letter, fewer and fewer guests came to the birthday party every year..."

"So that's how it is," the uncle straightened his tie, sat upright and coughed lightly, "Do you want me, Kogoro Mori, to find the sender?"

"Of course it would be best if you can find it," Ome Butler said with a smile, "But if possible, I would also like to invite you to my wife's 50th birthday party and be a bodyguard to protect my wife..."

"Bodyguard? This..." The uncle smiled stiffly.

It's not appropriate to be a bodyguard for a 50-year-old woman.

"The entrustment fee is about this amount," the butler understood and took out a check, holding it in both hands and handing it to the uncle.

"I accepted!"

The uncle enthusiastically stood up and said energetically, "Then Madam's birthday is..."

"The party is at 6 o'clock tonight, so it's almost over now," the housekeeper wiped his sweat, "it should be okay?"

"Yes, yes." The uncle looked at the time and wondered, "Why don't you move forward a few days for such an important matter?"

In such a short period of time, the gods can't find anything, right?

Even if you just want to find him as a famous detective as a bodyguard, you should give him some time to prepare...

"Well," said the butler embarrassedly, "Actually, we have an advance plan, but there seems to be no one at the Kido Detective Agency."

"?"

……

In the evening, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and soon it began to rain. After Gao Cheng called Xiao Ai, he rarely got a police report to make a statement.

"It's still so powerful, Brother Chenghu," Mu Mu laughed and patted Gao Cheng, "You can catch two kidnappers casually, how did you do it?"

"Uh……"

Gao Cheng is hard to explain.

In fact, he didn't know what was going on, he just went to Dr. Ali's house to help find things, and then went out to pick up Xiao Ai from school, but two gangsters pretending to be maintenance workers suddenly wanted to run away.

"Anyway, that's how it happened. After I brought them down, I found that there were sacks and ropes that bound people in the toolbox, so I called the police."

Mu Mu was a little confused when he heard it, and he was stunned for a while, but he didn't think any more: "By the way, you came just in time. There is a meeting tonight, and I was going to ask Takagi to inform you."

"Meeting?"

"Actually, it's not a very important meeting, but most of the consultants will attend, so we can get to know more people."

"All right……"

Gao Cheng was not interested in the meeting, but wanted to meet other consultants.

Most of the Metropolitan Police Department's consultants are experts in various fields, and they usually provide technical support for the Metropolitan Police Department. There are not many special consultants like him who are always active on the front line, and many of these consultants are well-known university professors. His social status is also much higher than his, so there is no competition.

In any case, there is no harm in dealing with professionals in many fields, at least his legal knowledge has always been weak.

……

"Swish!"

In the luxurious residence of the Baoke family shrouded in rain, the hall on the second floor is brightly lit at night, and a grand birthday party is being held.

Mori Kogoro, Xiaolan and Conan stood sullenly at the edge of the venue, frowning even tighter as they watched the lively party.

"Although she said she wanted me to find out the sender by the way, she still didn't say anything. She would never entertain people who hold a grudge against her here..."

"Yes," Conan nodded and said, "As for the murder that happened in this villa, I only said it was an accident..."

"You can't find anything like that."

Kogoro Mori looked closely at the owner of the Hoshina family, Rukako Hoshina, who was in the middle of the crowd. Although she was getting old, she still looked like an elegant lady, but her personality was not very good, she was strong and strict, and she cared about time. People, even accurate to 0.5 seconds, there are clocks everywhere in the villa, as if they regard themselves as gods who manipulate time.

There are quite a lot of weird rich people like this now...

"But who exactly sent that letter? The watchman of time or something. Could it be someone's prank?" Mori Kogoro wondered.

"Speaking of the keeper of time," Xiaolan looked at Mrs. Baoke who often checked the time on her pocket watch, and said, "The lady who is strict with time is very much like the keeper of time..."

"Huh? How can anyone scare themselves?"

Mori Kogoro snorted, glanced at the guests who were close to Mrs. Hoshina, and tried to take charge of his bodyguard work.

However, Baoke himself didn't seem to take it very seriously, it was like a jewelry exhibition, constantly showing the decorations on his body to the guests.

It's a hard job, if it wasn't for the high commission fee...

"The silver pocket watch used to be very beautiful, but this gold pocket watch seems to be more suitable for my wife!" A female guest exclaimed.

"Hehe," Mrs. Baoke smiled at the flattering female guest, "This is a unique watch made by a Swiss watchmaker..."

"Humph."

A bald old man with a white beard and a cane passed by and said, "After the owner was replaced on a whim, the old watch that was gradually rusting in the drawer is really pitiful..."

"You don't need to worry about this," Mrs. Baoke glanced at the old man, "that watch is no longer with me, and of course the broken watch must be thrown away..."

At this time, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out, Kogoro Mori, who had been paying attention to Mrs. Hoshina, changed his face drastically, but before he could move, the housekeeper pushed the birthday cake with candles into the venue.

Just before 6 o'clock, accompanied by the happy birthday song, Mrs. Baoke walked to the cake amidst the applause of everyone, opened her pocket watch to check the time, and blew out the candles happily like a young girl.

But the most important villa bells did not ring at the same time, and Madam Baoke's expression changed instantly.

"What's going on?! The bell..."

"Ugh—!"

In the darkness, the woman's pupils dilated in horror.

who is it……
