Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

Xingchen put down the cards in his hand, picked up the watermelon from the fruit plate and started eating. The first bite was filled with juice, and the sweet watermelon juice burst in his mouth with a hint of saltiness.

Xingchen's eyes lit up. The watermelon was good, but it seemed that now was not the season for eating watermelon.

It’s so sweet, but also has a hint of saltiness. Is it because of the salt?

It seems that the watermelons in Japan are just like this, although I heard they are quite expensive.

Dr. Agasa seemed to be quite rich, as he could treat him with out-of-season watermelons.

During this time, Dr. Agasa picked up the TV remote control on the table and turned on the TV.

At the beginning, a news item was broadcast.

Today, six warehouses in Bankuri-cho caught fire at the same time, according to eyewitnesses. Thousands of words are omitted below.

"The warehouse is on fire again. There have been quite a few warehouse fires recently." Dr. Agasa murmured as he recalled the news from the past few days.

Hmm, it’s on fire again? Xingchen caught the key words in an instant, and a voice came out of his heart, "The key!", which made him blurt out and ask: "Dr. Ali, where else has a warehouse caught fire recently?"

"Oh, oh." Dr. Agasa probably got used to Kudo Shinichi's questions and said subconsciously: "Oh, six days ago, three warehouses in the Bankuri Town area also caught fire. I heard it was man-made."

Six days ago?! Considering the date he appeared, it shouldn't have been long, but his intuition told him that it might be the remaining consciousness or memory of the original owner? He couldn't ignore this ethereal voice.

With no other clues, he could only focus his investigation on the news about the three burning warehouses.

Also, in the previous news, what happened when six warehouses caught fire in such a concentrated manner? Some people also said that someone was covering up something, but unfortunately, the golden finger in my mind did not give any prompts. Does it really have to wait until the case happens?

Now Xingchen can only guess these based on the existing clues.

Seeing Xingchen deep in thought, Dr. Agasa felt something was wrong and asked, "By the way, Xiaochen, why are you asking this?"

It’s over. I was just asking and Xingchen was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

Then he used all his life's ability to talk nonsense and said: "Hmm~, I just felt like I vaguely remembered something, and there seemed to be a fire in my mind. When I reacted, I can't remember it now."

When Dr. Agasa heard this, he suddenly remembered what Kudo Shinichi had told him yesterday afternoon about Xingchen's amnesia. Combined with Xingchen's current behavior, it seems that the amnesia is also related to the fire?

Dr. Agasa suddenly felt that he had found a key clue, and it seemed that he had to talk to Shinichi about it tonight.

"Is that so?" Dr. Agasa comforted him, "I heard Conan say that you don't have to force yourself. Just forget it if you can't remember it."

Xingchen heaved a sigh of relief and got away with it.

It seems that Conan has told Dr. Agasa about my amnesia. I was afraid that Conan didn't reveal any other clues to him, causing him to worry for nothing.

Suddenly Xingchen remembered something, which was when Mao Li Ran finished school. He had the impression that people in Sakura Country finished school very early.

Xingchen looked at the time again. It was two o'clock in the afternoon. It was still early, but to be on the safe side, he decided to go back first.

Xingchen told Dr. Agasa that he had something to do and had to go back first. Dr. Agasa said he would come over to play when he had time.

Dr. Agasa watched Xingchen go out, suddenly remembered something and ran home.

After a while, before Xingchen had walked far, he heard Dr. Agasa calling his name again. He turned around and saw Dr. Agasa chasing after him, panting.

Xingchen looked at Dr. Agasa in confusion, wondering if he had left something in Dr. Agasa's house, and said, "That's what, Dr. Agasa?"

Dr. Agasa didn't say anything. He handed a deck of cards to Xingchen and said, "Hey, Xiaochen, since this is your first time here, I don't have anything to give you. Since you like this deck so much, I'll give it to you."

Xingchen took it and looked at it. It was the same deck of metal cards that he used to play with.

"Huh?! Really?" Xingchen looked at Dr. Agasa and saw that he didn't look like he was joking. He thought it was a gift from an elder in Sakura Country to a younger generation.

"Thank you, Dr. Agasa."

"Be careful on your way home." Dr. Agasa waved.

"Goodbye, Dr. Agasa." Xingchen waved back.

On the way, Xingchen was playing with metal cards in his hand, and the metal cards were sparkling in the refraction of sunlight.

I thought to myself, is it really okay for Professor Agasa to give him such a valuable thing?

Touching the uneven pattern and the metal makes it feel like it is of great value. Adding to his inner love for it, it feels like it was tailor-made for him.

After a while, I saw a familiar store and returned to the door of Maori Office.

Xingchen first went to the second floor. According to his understanding, Mao Lilan should go to the second floor first when she comes back, so he went to take a look first.

He stood on tiptoe and carefully pushed the door open with his body. It opened a crack and when he got closer, he saw Uncle Maori with his legs on the table, holding a beer in his hand, drinking it while watching TV.

Huh~ It seems that Mao Lilan hasn’t come back yet. Then Xingchen closed the door carefully.

Then Xingchen went straight to the third floor and turned the doorknob. It was still locked. It seemed that Mao Lilan really hadn't come back yet.

Xingchen heaved a sigh of relief. He could even imagine the scene when Mao Lilan came back and found that he was missing and looked for him everywhere. Fortunately, he came back early. It seemed that in order to avoid this situation, he should inform Uncle Mao Li in advance.

Xingchen took off her shoes and put on a pair of furry brown cotton slippers with bear ears, which she and Mao Lilan bought on the street yesterday. They were a set with Xingchen's bear pajamas.

It would have been fine for him to go barefoot, but he still put on his shoes out of habit and then collapsed on the ground.

I didn't find anything today, but I still gained something.

Xingchen raised his hand, looked at the four metal cards in his hand, and then his thoughts drifted away. When he came back again, he sat up and looked at the clock on the wall. Only ten minutes had passed, and he stretched and wondered if he had come back a little too early.

Xingchen looked at the things around him idly, and then his eyes fixed on the TV.

I thought, I don't know what to watch in the Land of Sakura these days. I picked up the remote control and looked for the button to turn on the TV. With a click, the TV screen lit up.

News, change channel, football game, change channel, TV series, change channel again, still TV series.

Finally, I found an animation or a special effects movie? Xingchen tilted his head and blinked his big eyes, looking at this familiar feeling.

Striking a classic pose and saying slogans like evil can never defeat light, gave him an alternative sense of déjà vu.

I saw later that it was an advertisement, and it said it would be broadcast every Monday night at 7:30.

Seeing this Xingchen sighed, I thought I could take a look at the popular special effects in the Conan world.

He still knew this, and he was one of the few people he still had some impression of.

"I'm back." Mao Lilan's voice came from the door.

Xingchen turned his head and saw Mao Lilan put down the things in her hand, bent down, looked at Xingchen and said, "Xiaochen, have you stayed at home well today?" Xingchen nodded. At least he had returned a long time ago.

"Are you hungry, Xiaochen?" Mao Lilan said before turning and walking into the kitchen.

Xingchen responded, "I'm hungry." Having just eaten in the morning, it was already four or five in the afternoon. Xingchen felt hungry soon after he felt full.

After a while, Mao Lilan in the kitchen made some rice balls that could quickly fill her stomach, handed them to Xingchen and said, "Eat some first, and we'll go out for dinner tonight when Conan comes back."

"Yeah." Xingchen nodded in response.

Looking at the two small rice balls in front of him, they were really just for filling his stomach, Xingchen complained quietly in his heart.

He finished one of the rice balls in four or five bites, drank some water, and lay down for a while.

After finishing a rice ball, she waited for Conan to come back. A few hours later, seeing that Conan had not returned, Mao Lilan called Dr. Agasa.

"Dr. Agasa, is Conan with you?"

After knowing that Conan was with Dr. Agasa, he asked Dr. Agasa to convey Conan's message and then hung up the phone.

Then he and Xingchen set off to pick up Conan from Dr. Agasa's house. When they went downstairs, they also told Maori Kogoro to take care of his own dinner.

An hour later, Mao Lilan was walking on the road holding Conan on the left and Xingchen on the right. Conan glanced at Xingchen and began to doubt him again. After all, Xingchen's origins were still unknown, so it was hard not to suspect Xingchen.

But what he couldn't understand was why Xingchen knew where Dr. Agasa's home was. However, from Dr. Agasa's description, there didn't seem to be any strange behavior, and Conan didn't tell Xingchen any information about Dr. Agasa.

But why did Xingchen say that I introduced him? What was Xingchen's purpose in coming to Dr. Agasa's house?

Conan thought about this but still couldn't figure out why. It was as if the stars were covered by dark clouds and he couldn't see the reality. And Kudo Shinichi was unable to solve the problem in front of him with reasoning, as if his eyes were covered with gauze.

Without any clues or evidence, a terrible feeling of ignorance and incompetence instantly clouded his heart, and Conan immediately decided to find an opportunity to resolve the doubts in his mind.

Xingchen didn't know that he had just been included in Conan's list of high-risk persons. Now he was just still obsessed with the feast he had just had.

Under the illumination of neon lights and countless advertisements on the street, three people walked on the road, and each of them had his own ideas.

At night, in a telephone booth not far from the Maori Detective Agency, the moonlight stretched the person inside very long.

Look closely, isn't this Conan? In order to solve the problem that Mao Lilan was worried about him, Xingchen, who was originally on the third floor, was there with him, and then it was time for who would wash first.

Finally, I used a little trick to get out. I have to go back quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to explain when Xingchen comes out.

Conan was seen holding a bow-tie voice changer in one hand and a phone in the other.

There was a beeping sound from the other end of the phone and it was soon answered.

"Moshimoshi, this is the Maori Detective Agency." Conan heard a childish voice instead of a familiar female voice coming from the other end of the phone.

How could he be the one who answered the phone, Conan thought to himself, it's over, didn't he ask him to take a shower first? Why is he on the second floor?

"I'm Kudo Shinichi, looking for Mouri Ran." Conan said quickly.

I heard the young voice on the other end pause and then replied, "Then wait a moment."

Conan's pupils shrank. Why did he answer the phone? Where was Lan? But soon his thoughts were interrupted by a female voice.

"Shinichi?!"
