The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 69 The Phantom of Baker Street 2

"Come to think of it, the incident at the Haido Hotel was finally classified as an accident." Chiyoko took out her cell phone and flipped through the reports in the mainstream media.

"This is what the organization is planning." Conan recalled the day when he was devastated by his failure to stop the organization's actions.

Huihara Ai was not disappointed, but had expected it: "After all, a big figure in the political world died because of this. In order to reduce the impact, someone will definitely cover it up."

After chatting for a while, everyone came to the center of the venue, where the press conference was held.

The stage is a "cocoon" for experience, and there are several tables scattered below the stage, providing drinks and some simple meals. There are also dedicated waiters at each table.

"There are so many people!" Maori Kogoro walked into the hall and was shocked by the prosperous scene, "There is also a lot of wine!"

A waiter happened to be walking by with a tray, so he stopped him and took a glass of wine in each hand.

"Dad!" Mao Lilan saw that he couldn't walk because of the alcohol and reminded him, "It seems that the senior police officers are here today. You must not drink too much!"

"I know, I know. You won't get drunk by drinking premium liquor!" Uncle Maori drank two glasses of wine in one gulp heroically.

"In fact, the glass you hold is Johnnie Walker, which is a kind of whiskey, a distilled liquor, and its alcohol content is much higher than beer."

A unique cold voice came from the side. Kogoro Mouri narrowed his eyes, trying to see clearly which guy was ruining his plan.

"It's you again, kid. Drinking is an art. It's not just about looking at the alcohol content. You're still too naive!"

Rin Chiyu raised the champagne in his hand without comment.

"It's Shakuha-san." Mao Lilan greeted with a smile.

"Didn't Yuanzi come with you?" She looked behind Lin Chiyu and didn't see the lively figure she expected, so she asked curiously.

"As for Sonoko, she's receiving the experience badge over there. It will probably take a while for her to come over." Rin Chiyu turned sideways to look at the "cocoon" in the center of the conference hall, and saw a group of children gathered on the stage, among whom Suzuki Sonoko stood out from the crowd with her extremely tall height.

After all, she is the only high school student.

"Wow, they all come from prominent families." Kogoro Mouri recognized the families of those children.

"There are many grandchildren of deputy commissioners of the Metropolitan Police Department, grandchildren of financial tycoons, and children of ruling party and politicians."

“The second and third generations who will carry Japan’s future are basically here.”

As he said this, he smacked his lips and continued to sip his drink.

“It’s like a concentrated version of the ugly Japanese hereditary system.”

Just as several children were looking over there with longing expressions, a cold voice suddenly said this.

Kogoro Mouri almost choked on the wine, Ran Mouri looked over in confusion, and Rinshakuha turned her head slightly and stared at Haibara Ai who said this with interest.

The three little ones' attention was also attracted.

“Along with this hereditary system, the wrong history of mankind is constantly repeating itself.”

Ayumi's eyes sparkled with confusion: "Habara, what are you talking about? I don't seem to understand..."

Conan quietly approached behind Huihara Ai and whispered in her ear: "Hey, this kind of speech is totally not in the tone of a child, it is easy to be suspected."

Haibara Ai glanced at him lightly, without saying anything, and just continued talking.

"The sons of politicians become politicians, the sons of bank presidents become bank presidents, and no matter how long this goes on, Japan will not change."

It seemed like someone noticed the situation here, and their expressions became very interesting.

Kogoro Mouri had no choice but to pretend nothing had happened and used his body to slightly block the gazes from the children.

Conan was at a loss now, so he walked over to Chiyoko who was drinking orange juice happily with a straw.

"Are you sure we don't want to ignore that woman? It seems like she's about to let herself go." Conan took a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth and complained speechlessly.

"I think she is much more sensible than you." Chiyoko nodded her chin at him, motioning him to continue watching.

Haibara Ai's serious face was suddenly replaced with an innocent and cute smile, and she started dancing with her hands and feet together.

"There were a lot of topics like this on the news yesterday, but I didn't understand them all!"

Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief.

Lin Chiyu turned around and looked around. He noticed that everyone here was smiling kindly. He took this as an interesting topic of conversation and shared it with his companions to show how much he cared about the future of this country.

"Is this okay?" After fooling the group of people, Huibara Ai walked to the two fake children and picked up a blueberry pie.

Conan could only laugh dryly and sweat drop.

"Lan! Brother Shakuha!" Suzuki Sonoko, wearing a fashionable fiery red off-shoulder dress, walked towards this side and greeted. From a distance, she looked like a leaping flame, looking very energetic.

"Hello, boys and girls over here." After approaching, she bent down and said with a smile to the children from the Junior Detective League.

"Wow, is that the 'Cocoon' experience badge?" Ayumi looked at the badge on her chest with envy.

"That's great..." Mitsuhiko sighed.

Yuan Tai held the back of his head, looking melancholy: "I want it too."

"Give up!" Suddenly a harsh, mocking voice was heard. A few people looked in the direction of the voice and saw a few arrogant children walking slowly towards them. The leader was holding a football in his hand.

“The stance is different.”

Another kid with pigtails sneered, "Come to think of it, were you really invited?"

Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips, frowned, and said to the little devils: "You little devils are very rude. They are the guests I personally invited."

The boy with a middle-parted hair on the side is named Kikukawa Seiichiro, and he is the son of the court's chief judge.

He stroked her chest in a gentlemanly manner and bowed slightly, "Ah, isn't this the second daughter of the Suzuki Group?"

He looked very polite, but his expression of superiority always made Suzuki Sonoko very annoyed.

Hideki Moroboshi, who is holding a football, is the grandson of the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department mentioned earlier by Kogoro Mori.

"Listen carefully, when a person is born, his life is already determined." He looked at the children from the Junior Detective Team and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

The other two also followed suit and sneered: "That's right, beautiful clothes will also determine who wears them."

"Those who are not chosen can only watch with envy and drooling on the sidelines while sucking their fingers."

"Ha ha ha ha......"

The kids laughed.

"Hate it! These guys are so infuriating." Yuan Tai narrowed his eyes, looked at the group of guys with sarcasm, and snorted out of his nose.

"Dad, please help teach them a lesson!" Maori Ran turned around and looked at the nonchalant Maori Kogoro, and stood up for the children.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri put down the wine glass he had just picked up, clenched his fist to his mouth, pretended to cough lightly, and walked over.

"Listen up kids, you can't take life too naively."

He raised a finger and said very seriously: "Even if life seems to be smooth sailing, there will be traps!"

"You will understand when you grow up."

Moroboshi Hideki squinted at him and said, "Like your wife ran away or something like that?"

"I know about you, uncle."

"The so-called 'Sleeping Kogoro' is because your wife ran away from home while you were sleeping, right?"

Mao Lilan retorted seriously: "No way!"

"My mom ran away from home while my dad was in the bathroom!"

"Right?" She asked the embarrassed Kogoro Mouri as if seeking confirmation.

Uncle Maori: Oh no, there’s a traitor!

"Although these little devils are indeed annoying, don't you find them a little interesting?" Chiyoko said this beside Conan while biting a straw.

"Huh?" Conan was stunned.

"Neither Suzuki Sonoko nor Mr. Rin were ridiculed by them. Instead, they greeted them politely. Their main target was the three children."

"Even the three of us, because we were made smaller, our behavior was more mature and stable than that of ordinary people. We were misjudged by them and were let off intentionally or unintentionally."

"He looks like an uneducated dude, but he has a very sharp eye for people. The first time he saw Uncle Maori, he could think of relevant information. It's not something that everyone knows that they are not getting along with each other."

"Although he is superior in spirit and appears inferior in quality, his vision, ability to make choices, and ability to bully the weak and fear the strong are unique."

"This is the deformed education that Japan's top leaders have received under the rigid system today."

Huihara Ai nodded in agreement: "That's right."

Conan curled the corners of his mouth. As a high school student and a pure detective with an idealistic bent, he was not that sensitive to these political remarks.

These two guys are obviously about the same age as him, how could they have such sharp insights into politics?

He suddenly began to doubt his life.

Should I also learn about sociology and politics?

"Hideki! How can you act so foolishly in front of Miss Suzuki's guests!" Just as he was thinking this, a majestic old man walked over. Although his hair was a little gray, his back was very straight and his voice was full of energy.

"Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Maori!"

He pressed Hideki Moroboshi's head and made him bow obediently.

The other little kids were also dragged up to apologize.

The visitor was none other than the Deputy Director of the Metropolitan Police Department, Hideki Moroboshi's grandfather.

"If Mr. Xiao Lin hadn't called me here, I wouldn't have known that this kid was acting like this! I apologize to you all here." He apologized with a smile.

These little brats didn't understand the situation and thought that Suzuki Sonoko was the second daughter of the Suzuki family, but had no inheritance rights, so bullying her friends wasn't an offense.

But these old guys know the situation. Suzuki Ayako is going to marry out, so the inheritance rights will definitely fall to the second son!

Not to mention the other one. Rin's father is nominally a consultant, but in fact he holds all the power in Osaka. Almost the entire business community in Osaka is controlled by him alone.

The worst thing is that the top police officers have a good relationship with him!

Director Bai Ma, who treats him as a brother, is actually his immediate superior!

How can we afford to offend such a person?

So after receiving Rin Chiyu's hint, he immediately rushed over in a hurry.

We must strengthen the education of these kids later!

I dare to mess with anyone!
