A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 220 The Polarized Uncle

Gunma County is about [-] kilometers away from Tokyo. After arriving at the destination, the uncle couldn't help sighing when he saw the price displayed on the meter.

"It's so expensive!"

In the early 11s, the money for taking a taxi could almost catch up with his entrustment fee. Then I saw Noah take out a stack of banknotes from his bag calmly, tapped them a few times, and handed them to the driver. Li also said.

"You don't need to look for it, thank you for your hard work, master."

This made the uncle's eyes brighten. It seems that Noah has made a lot of money recently, and when he took the money just now, he saw several wads of cash in Noah's bag with sharp eyes.

"Noah, if there is anything you can't solve in the future, just speak up. My detective Mori Kogoro will definitely help. Of course, if there is a small commission fee, I believe I can definitely explode into twelve points of strength."

……

Xiaolan turned away from looking at her father, blushing with a defeated expression.

Noah didn't know if the uncle really looked greedy for money as he looked on the outside, or if he was just pretending. Last time he provoked himself to chase after Xiaolan, but this time he changed his method and forced himself to be his client.

"Haha, it's okay. I have always trusted your ability, uncle. If I need help with anything, I will definitely find you."

A smile appeared on the uncle's face, and he locked in a big client in advance. He really had a talent for business. He embraced Noah's arm enthusiastically and began to publicize his heroic deeds.

"No matter where in Japan, there are legends about me. Wherever my detective Mori Kogoro arrives, all crimes will be wiped out."

"This time I come to Junma County, I must let you see our abilities well, and you will definitely be amazed."

"And I have been to Junma County before. I am quite familiar with the police department here. They must be very familiar with my reputation."

... The few people walking behind the two were speechless, especially Conan, who secretly complained that Xiaolan's father was really the best, and the more he boasted, the more he had no edge.

When the uncle came to Junma County, he also came, but it's not as exaggerated as the uncle said, and they also met a policeman, a policeman who looked more... special.

Noah, who is shoulder to shoulder with the uncle, has a different view of the uncle from Conan, because he has never underestimated the uncle.

Although the uncle is often used by Conan as a tool, not everyone can be like the uncle after the case is over.

Without knowing it at all, he perfectly compiled a set of reasons to handle the case in a seamless manner, so as not to arouse anyone's suspicion.

This is also a kind of ability, not to mention that the uncle has received so many anesthesia injections, and there is no trace on his neck, but this can also be explained as Ke Xue.

These two reasons are just Noah's joking thoughts, what really made Noah feel that the uncle is not simple is an accidental inspiration.

The number of times I have seen the uncle acting as a tool is enough, but I have not seen more, because in the daily chat, Conan and Xiaolan occasionally talk about the cases they encountered, which arouses Noah's suspicion .

Has the uncle never suspected these things?

Once is okay, twice... three times... ten times... a hundred times, and Noah once deliberately learned about the glorious history of the uncle.

His grades in school can definitely be called excellent, and his IQ and EQ are both high. Being able to catch up with a lawyer queen like Fei Yingli is enough to show his excellence.

He used to be a police officer and worked as a colleague of Police Officer Megure, but he quit his job for special reasons, and not long after that, he and Fei Yingli began to live apart, which made Noah wonder if the two things were the key.

But it was too secretive, and Noah didn't dig deep, and he wasn't a gossip reporter, knowing too much was useless.

What made Noah suspicious was that he had explicitly asked the uncle if he remembered the incident, and then hinted whether he had doubts.

As a result, the uncle insisted that he had a dual personality, and that he would become another person every time a case was solved. This explanation made Noah feel powerless, because the uncle's explanation was reasonable and he looked the same from the outside.

But it was because he was too sure that Noah became suspicious, but maybe the uncle's brain circuit was different from others.

Therefore, he is just skeptical now, and when he has more contacts in the future, he will have more opportunities to confirm.

……

According to the description in the entrustment letter, the Sunflower House Hotel is located in the depths of a large forest. Noah and the others chose to take a taxi there.

As a result, after the driver sent them to the forest population, he refused to go in anyway, even if he added money, he couldn't persuade him.

Everyone was helpless. After asking the driver for the exact location, they walked into it, but this also left a layer of haze in everyone's heart. I am afraid this forest is not simple.

……

"It's nothing. Fortunately, the master didn't insist just now, otherwise we would have missed such a beautiful scenery."

In the forest, Xiaolan is embracing nature. The sun is shining on her face, which is warm and refreshing. The surrounding trees, flowers and plants exude a burst of fragrance, which makes people feel happy.

"Aren't they just flowers and plants? What's so good about it? That hotel is on the other side of the forest, and it's tiring to walk there."

The uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained that he stayed up late last night to watch Yoko's new show, which made him listless and tired.

"bang"

Not paying attention for a while, the uncle tripped over a protruding stone on the ground, and fell face-to-face on the ground, covering his face and wailing continuously.

"What kind of shit, who is so wicked, put such a big stone, do you have any sense of public morality, I..."

"and many more!"

Before the uncle finished speaking, he was stopped by Noah, staring at the raised stone on the ground with an inexplicable expression.

"This is not an ordinary stone, this is a statue of a god."

These words made several people stunned, and they stepped forward to observe, and when they saw the strange symbols engraved on it, they immediately understood.

"Is this accidentally touched by someone? Let's help him up first."

Seeing the statue face down, the gentle Xiaolan squatted down considerately, and reached out to help the statue to stand up again.

"do not move!"

As soon as she touched the statue, a loud shout sounded from behind the crowd. Xiaolan, who was timid and timid when she saw the statue, withdrew her hand as if she was shocked, and turned her head to look behind her, wanting to see who was talking.

A white car drove up from behind, and on the window of the driver's seat, a man with cute eyes and sparse hair appeared, with an anxious expression on his face, and the shout just now came from his mouth.

"Mountain police officer!"

"Mori Detective!"

When someone arrived in front of the crowd by car, two exclamations sounded one after the other. Noah didn't expect that the uncle actually had someone he knew in this place where nothing shit happened.

However, Conan was speechless, with a few black lines appearing on his forehead. This man was the only policeman that the uncle knew in Junma County. The actions of the other party were still replaying in his mind, and his memory was still fresh.

It's not because of his strong ability to solve crimes, nor because of his high IQ and strong observation skills, but because he is too stupid and confused. He can be called the most confused policeman Conan has ever seen.

Moreover, after helping the uncle to reason successfully, this person has already developed a good sense of the uncle, and it can even be called a trace of admiration.

What puzzled Conan was, why did the other party come to this inaccessible forest this time, and is it consistent with their goal?
