Chapter 233-232- Playing hard to get
Just thinking about it, the call was quickly connected——
"Yeah, good morning, Detective Kudo!"
Bai Chuanyou had just greeted him full of energy, when a panicked "Ahhhhhhh" came from the other end of the phone.
Then there was a series of flustered footsteps, making people feel flustered across the phone.
Finally, there was a snap, the sound of the toilet door being shut.
Skilled enough to make people feel distressed.
After successfully transferring the place where he answered the phone to the toilet, Conan complained a little: "Mr. Bai Chuan! The voice is too loud. I'm still in the office. If Xiaolan hears it..."
Before Conan finished talking, Bai Chuanyu interrupted him:
"Detective, did you watch the news in the morning? It is said that the phantom thief Kidd is going to attack your girlfriend's best friend's gemstone, so why don't you come out and join in the fun?"
Hearing Shirakawa Yuu's way of speaking, Conan made a correction with a black line on his face:
"You, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"...Xiao Lan is not my girlfriend yet, but just a childhood sweetheart."
"What, don't you use a voice changer to coax her every day? Why haven't you confirmed the relationship yet? You're so poor." Bai Chuanyou teased frivolously.
Conan: "..."
He just wanted to take a deep breath to calm his mind, but after thinking that this was a toilet, he suppressed the thoughtful thought again.
In short, receiving such a call that raised blood pressure early in the morning really made Conan feel bad.
At this time, Bai Chuanyu smiled briefly: "Okay detective, just tell me, can you catch this Kaitou Kidd?"
Conan recalled what he had heard recently about the deeds of the Kaitou Kidd, and said indifferently: "It's just a thief, I'm not interested."
"Speaking of which, why is Mr. Bai Chuan so obsessed with this thief?"
His intuition told him that Bai Chuanyu must have some kind of impure motive for asking him to catch the Kaitou Kidd.
But in the next second, this intuition was dispelled by Conan——
"Because Phantom Thief Kidd is the prototype of my last novel "Phantom Thief Bud". As a source of inspiration, I am naturally curious about the identity of this guy."
Bai Chuanyou's ability to fool people is superb.
"...If the great detective and the strange thief can have an interesting duel of wits, an author like me who lacks material will definitely be crazy."
Conan yawned again and again.
What are you doing, it turned out to be the source of the author who hit the street.
He didn't bother to care about such a small matter.
While Conan was listening dismissively, Bai Chuanyu suddenly heard:
"Don't rush to refuse, big detective."
"...The last trip to Sherlock Holmes fans, you should remember that there is a rare copy of "A Study in Scarlet", right?"
Conan was slightly taken aback.
"Study in Scarlet" English first edition.
There are very few global releases, but it is a novel that he even dreamed of getting his hands on.
Thinking of this, he frowned: "I remember, what's wrong, why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
Bai Chuanyou laughed in his heart, but on the surface he said in a flat tone:
"No reason, it's just that I left in a hurry last time and forgot to tell you..."
"Mr. Jin Gu later gave me that book as a thank you for saving my life, and it is now on the bookshelf at my house."
"What?!" Conan was taken aback, almost bouncing off the toilet.
What a joke.
The collectibles that Sherlock Holmes fans want to get their hands on, they are so immortal, but it's just a layman who got it?
What kind of good luck tricks people is this?
Conan complained wildly in his heart.
Bai Chuanyu smiled lightly.
This reaction was completely within his expectations.
Next, he said regretfully:
"Ah, I was thinking of giving you this book as a thank you for finding the material..."
"But it seems that your interest is not very high, and you have no intention of catching the strange thief at all... I am just being sentimental."
as predicted.
Hearing Bai Chuanyu's seductive tone, even though he knew that the other party was indulging in lust, Conan still couldn't hold back.
He is a detective who loves reasoning, and the only topic he cares about is his idol Sherlock Holmes.
It can be said that Bai Chuanyou's conditions offered this time completely hit his itch, making it impossible for him to put on a show.
So Conan immediately said eagerly:
"Who says I'm not in a good mood? I was just joking."
"...Actually, I have already prepared to go to the scene with Uncle Kogoro to investigate. Here, no thief can get any benefit!"
"Oh?" Bai Chuanyu smirked.
Conan smiled dryly at this moment: "So, that book..."
"As long as you can beat Kaitou Kidd, I'll give it to you." Bai Chuanyu said straightforwardly.
Hearing Bai Chuanyu's tone that didn't sound like a joke, Conan immediately regained his spirits.
"That's good, it's a deal!"
"..."
After making this important agreement, Bai Chuanyou hung up the phone.
In this way, he successfully attracted Conan's attention, and then he has some other arrangements.
After the information of the FBI group was sent to Miyano Akemi, he did not confirm it.
No matter how the group of people act, the final result must lead to the same direction.
Change into casual clothes and open the door.
The morning sun shone on his face.
Bai Chuanyou narrowed his eyes, looking at the sun in disgust.
Then close the door and return to the cool house.
"Hmph, I'm in a good mood today, why don't you come and turn your cards."
Bai Chuanyu talked to himself while operating the computer.
He intends to accept a commission and find happiness by himself first.
But at this moment, the commissioner came to the door by himself.
"Excuse me, is this an office?"
A voice came faintly from outside through the door.
Bai Chuanyou was taken aback for a moment, and muttered in his mouth: "Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, this is the so-called synchronization rate, right?"
He stood up and went to open the door with a smile.
A beautiful woman with loose long hair appeared in front of Bai Chuanyu.
Whether it is the proportion of the figure or the face, it can be regarded as superior.
However, at this moment, the other party had a faint panic and sadness on his face, as if he had encountered some difficulty.
After activating the [Analysis] ability, Bai Chuanyu saw the client lady thoroughly.
After confirming that the other party was not threatening, he smiled gently: "What's the matter with you?"
The woman showed a restrained and shy smile, then nodded, but her expression hesitated, and she hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Bai Chuanyou welcomed her to the reception table in the living room. After making a cup of tea, he quietly waited for the other party to give her commission.
"..."
After an overview in a few words.
Shirakawa Yu learned that the client's name was Miho Nishiya, who moved to Tokyo from Yokohama two months ago, and is currently working as a waiter in a family restaurant, so she somehow found him here.
The reason why Nishitani Miho wanted to initiate the commission was because she had been being followed recently.
——Beautiful girls, single, and have no social status... In a place like Japan, it is not surprising to attract stalkers.
"So, do you want me to help you find out the true identity of the stalker?"
"Yes." Miho Nishiya nodded.
After hearing the ins and outs, Bai Chuanyou lost interest.
He is an intelligence businessman, not a third-rate detective who catches stalkers.
Moreover, the client's working status is not even stable, and it is unknown whether he can pay the commission clearly.
Bai Chuanyou didn't want to be a good guy, doing business without pay.
So, he said to Nishitani Miho:
"Well...I'm not the person in charge of this firm. Your situation is a bit complicated. When our boss comes, you can tell her."
After all, Bai Chuanyu took out his mobile phone, called up Tachibana Maya's number page, and showed it to the other party.
"Or Miss, you can go back and wait first. Our boss is not at work yet... By the way, this is her number, you can write it down first."
