Chapter 10
"Do you really not know him?"Conan confirmed again.
Haiyuan shook his head,"I don't know if there is this person in the organization, because I don't know all the members of the organization, but he is not among the people I have met. certainly……"After a pause, Haiyuan added,"The premise is that he looks like this."
"Don't worry about this. I checked him when he was unconscious and that's what he really looked like."
The two of them discussed Ye Ling for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a reason.
Conan frowned, who is Ye Ling? Why does he know my identity?
Or, does he really know my identity?
"Shinichi, your watch has been repaired. Dr. Ali repaired the watch and handed it to Conan, who was meditating.
Conan was startled, took the watch and said thank you, and then asked:"Why can't the anesthesia needle come out?""
"Because the spring inside is broken."The doctor replied
"Could it be man-made? Conan asked, because he always felt that this matter was not a coincidence.
The doctor looked like you were teasing me,"What do you think?" unless���Take the watch apart and cut off the spring, otherwise even I, the inventor, can't do anything without opening the cover."
Conan nodded slightly, it seems that he thought too much.……
……
As night falls, at the Maori Detective Agency, Ye Ling is having dinner with Xiaolan, Kogoro and Conan. During the dinner, Ye Ling took out a mobile phone, put it on the table, and said:"This is my mobile phone number. Please remember it."
Seeing Ye Ling's mobile phone, Xiaolan was very surprised and asked:"You bought the mobile phone?" Did you?" She remembered that Ye Ling had nothing on him before, including money.
Kogoro was also surprised and asked:"Where did your money come from?"
"Given by the client."Ye Ling replied
"Client?"Neither Kogoro nor Xiaolan could react. Conan stared at Ye Ling without saying a word.
Ye Ling smiled and said,"I forgot to mention it before, but I am also a detective. Xiaolan looked delighted,"
I thought you were like a detective before, and I guessed it right!""
No wonder Ye Ling and Shinichi feel very similar. It turns out that it's because they have the same profession.
Kogoro looked unhappy, right? Why is there another detective? There were already Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji before. , why do young people nowadays come to compete with him for his job?
As the saying goes, peers are enemies. Kogoro has never had a good impression of other detectives, but now he is a little better. After all, he is already famous, and he is not afraid of his business being taken away by others.
""Besides," Ye Ling looked at them and said,"I'm sorry to disturb you during this period. I have found a place to live and plan to move out tomorrow." If nothing else happens, I will also open a firm, and I may compete with you for business."
Kogoro crossed his hands with a look of disdain,"Huh, I'm waiting."Obviously, he doesn't think that Ye Ling, a fledgling young man, can steal his business. It would be a blessing for such an unknown private detective not to starve to death.
……
The night passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, at Dr. Ali's house, the doctor and Haihara Ai were having breakfast. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"Well? Strange, who could come to visit so early?"The doctor wiped his mouth, stood up from the table, and walked towards the door. Because the door was made of frosted glass, you could see a hazy figure standing outside the door, holding items in his hand.
He opened the door and found that outside There was a young man standing. This young man had a soft smile on his face. He was handsome yet masculine. According to current terms, he seemed to be a warm man. The young man smiled and said hello:"Hello, I moved to the neighborhood today. The resident's name is Ye Ling, the leaf of leaves, and the zero of Zero. Please accept a small gift."The young man said and handed over a bag containing several kinds of fresh fruits.
After hearing what the young man at the door said, Haihara Ai, who was having breakfast in the restaurant, suddenly changed his expression. The doctor was stunned for a moment, showing A look of confusion. Ye Ling? Why do you feel like you have heard of this name somewhere?
The next second, the doctor suddenly woke up and couldn't help being shocked.
Ye Ling? This! Isn't this the suspicious person that Xinyi and Xiao Ai discussed yesterday? ?
Him! Why did he come to visit? Wait! He said he moved to live nearby? For a moment, the doctor had an ominous premonition. Could it be that Ye Ling was an accomplice of those men in black? He already knew Xiao Ai’s identity. , that’s why I came here……
"Um? What’s wrong with you?"Ye Ling saw the doctor's face changing, so he asked with concern
"ah! No, nothing!"The doctor took the bag of fruit tremblingly, feeling like he had received a grenade, but he did not dare to refuse, fearing that Ye Ling would reveal his true colors.
When the doctor received the greeting gift, Ye Ling smiled again. He said:"I live just over the intersection, at No. 2-chome 1, and I run a detective agency, but that agency is not open yet. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me"
"well……"The doctor nodded mechanically
……
Soon Ye Ling said goodbye and left. The doctor closed the door desperately, turned around and gasped. He almost had a heart attack when he just faced Ye Ling. This sense of crisis was so terrifying...
Ye Ling would be speechless if he knew about it. You are obviously scaring yourself. Am I that scary?
"Xiao Ai, what should we do?……"The doctor asked Haiyuan, who had been hiding in the corner for some time.
"Shh!"Xiao Ai made a silent gesture and pointed at the bag of fruits in the doctor's hand.
The doctor's face turned pale with fright. Could it be that there are bugs in these fruits?
The two of them carefully took out all the fruits. Placed them on the coffee table to make sure there were no bugs in the bag. They were still not reassured, so they took a fruit knife and cut all the fruits, and then they felt relieved.
"It appears there are no bugs."Xiao Ai said
"Xiao Ai, why did he move nearby and come to visit us?"The doctor asked nervously.
Xiao Ai shook his head,"I don't know, but I don't feel like he is from the organization."
"Why?"The doctor was puzzled
"According to the organization's usual style of doing things, if they really came to me, they would definitely not be so roundabout. They like to solve all hidden dangers in the most direct way."Xiao Ai tilted her chin and thought:"What's more important is that I didn't feel the creepy aura of an organization member from him.
The doctor asked doubtfully:"Is it just a coincidence that he moved nearby?""
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ai shook his head again,"Probably not. When he just spoke to you, he did not say 'you' but 'you'. I have never met him, but he knows my existence. It is obvious that he has investigated me... Huh? Wait, he probably discovered my existence while investigating Edogawa... Anyway, it is impossible to tell whether he is an enemy or a friend for the time being."
