Stay away from Conan

Chapter 515 The man plagued by misfortune

"So, Akechi, you ran away from the beginning, right?"

After dinner, Gao Yuan, who was staying in his bedroom to further improve his thesis, received a call from Koizumi Anko, as if he was being debt-collected.

On the phone, after hearing what Koizumi Hongzi said that seemed like a question, Gao Yuan could only smile awkwardly, and then immediately changed the topic and asked:

"Then...Ms. Koizumi, did you find Kuroba-san and the others today? Did anything happen?"

Faced with this question, Koizumi Hongzi's tone was a little calm, and she answered in a seemingly nonchalant tone:

"Well... Anyway, it's just the three of us visiting the zoo together, nothing special happened."

"Oh, that sounds pretty good..."

Hearing the other party's tone of voice, Gao Yuan felt that Koizumi Hongzi seemed to be in a good mood, so he couldn't help but say:

"Then, Miss Koizumi, if there is nothing else, I will hang up first..."

"Just wait for me!"

And hearing that Gao Yuan was so anxious to hang up the phone, Koizumi Hongzi yelled on the other end of the phone——

"I still have something I haven't told you!"

However, before Koizumi Hongzi finished speaking, Gao Yuan had already hung up the call, and all that was heard in Koizumi Hongzi's ears was the "beep" sound coming from the phone receiver.

In response to this, Koizumi Hongzi was a little angry. She put the quaint phone receiver back on the landline, then clasped her hands in front of her body and murmured coldly:

"Tch! I originally wanted to tell him that today's divination result is an important turning point in his future destiny, not something that will happen in the near future..."

Saying this, Koizumi Anko held the "Priestess" necklace that was currently on her neck tightly in her hand, and then sighed helplessly, and couldn't help but say:

"Forget it...that guy's memory shouldn't be so bad."

…

"Huh? Have you been fired from the used bookstore?"

A few days passed calmly. At noon one day, I was sitting at the bar in the "Sandglass" coffee shop. I heard what Ousuke Kindate said just now. The manager of this coffee shop is also a "detective." The director of the "Mediation Office", Hiroyuki Kizui, asked this to Ousuke Yindate in surprise.

In response to this, even the other two clerks in the coffee shop who were also at the bar, Yasukawa Tu and Maakurama, couldn't help but show surprised expressions.

"ah--"

And after hearing Kizui Hōrō narrating this matter so loudly, Yin Tate Ousuke felt a little embarrassed, seemed a little embarrassed, and a little shy, turned his head and looked behind him, who was sitting in the seat behind him. , a white-haired girl wearing glasses drinking coffee.

However, because Ousuke Gindate turned his head too obviously, the white-haired girl who had just picked up the coffee cup and was about to drink coffee saw the look Ousuke Gindate was looking at her at a glance, so, a little unnaturally, the white-haired girl He smiled politely back.

In response to this, Yin Tate Ousuke could only sigh helplessly, turned his eyes back, put his hands on the bar, shook his head seriously, then sat, facing the three people on the bar, and said somewhat seriously :

"I wasn't fired! I resigned myself!"

Saying this, Yin Tate Ousuke's expression looked very solemn, as if he was stubbornly emphasizing the difference between "being fired" and "voluntarily resigning".

However, in response to such a statement, the three of them nodded slightly indifferently, and then slowly comforted:

"Well... I can guess it more or less. But I'd better listen to your complaint... Come on, tell me."

"The owner of the store is very nice. Apart from the fact that the salary is very small, everything went smoothly."

Hearing Kizui Horou's words, Kurindate Ousuke really started to talk about his previous work experience in a bookstore, but his expression was very serious——

"Until I met the shopkeeper's wife."

Hearing this, Kizui Horou, Yagawa Tuo, and Makura Makoto on the bar all couldn't help but show expressions of "Sure enough," and nodded slightly.

Next, Yin Tate Osuke described his encounter with the shopkeeper's wife.

And it seemed that he was so engrossed in what he was talking about that Yin Tate Oji didn’t even notice the sound caused by the wind chimes shaking at the door——

According to Ousuke Gindate's story, it seems that Ousuke Gindate's appearance is too similar to the ex-boyfriend of the shop owner's wife, and that ex-boyfriend also likes to deceive women and often asks for money from different women for various reasons. A very hateful man who cheated on other women.

But at that time, she was still willing to be deceived, thinking that the other person was her true love.

Therefore, it seems that whenever she sees Yin Tate Osuke, the shopkeeper's wife will recall her stupid self twelve years ago.

"I felt very sorry that it would remind her of the shameful past, so I resigned."

At this point, Yin Tate Ousuke had explained clearly his part-time job experience and the reasons for his resignation, so he crossed his arms and placed them on the bar, looking at the three people in front of him, as if waiting for them. My response after hearing my own experience——

"Well...is her ex-boyfriend your father or some relative?"

"I've confirmed it. They just look a bit similar."

Yin Tate Ousuke affirmed.

"You are as unlucky as ever."

Makoto Shinlai couldn't help sighing helplessly at this. As for Ye Chuantu, he didn't seem to be interested. He had already picked up the mop and started mopping the floor.

"But, the so-called shame is really troublesome..."

After thinking for a while, Kizui Horou seemed to want to comfort Yindate Ousuke, so he suddenly extracted the keyword "shame" from Yindate Ousuke's words just now, and started the topic——

"Back then, Adam and Eve were exiled from the Garden of Eden because they ate the fruit of wisdom and developed a sense of shame."

By chance, there were apples piled on the bar. Franzuki picked one up and started telling a story from the Bible:

"In other words, the root emotion unique to humans is shame."

"Indeed, shameful memories are more reluctant to be recalled than memories in the mind."

Some agreed, Yin Tate Esuke couldn't help but said, and then said with some emotion:

"When I recall the situation of 'messing up'... ugh..."

"What kind of memories are they?"

Just when Yin Tate Ousuke was recalling some bad memories because of this topic, the white-haired girl came forward curiously and asked.

"I won't tell!"

Turning his head and looking at the white-haired girl beside him, Yin Tate Ousuke's face was slightly red, but he said firmly.

In response, the white-haired girl looked depressed, pouted slightly, turned around and walked away——

"Really..."

Muttering softly, the girl returned to her seat and sat opposite a man in a blue windbreaker. Then she changed her mood slightly, smiled at the man in front of her, and asked curiously:

"What about Mr. Akechi? Do you have any shameful memories?"

Hearing this, before Takato could react, Yin Tate Ousuke suddenly turned his head and saw Takato sitting opposite the white-haired girl Fujoko, with a look of horror on his face and a hint of loss at the same time.

"Ah...this kind of thing..."

With some shame, Gao Yuan recalled the experience not long ago when he had no choice but to wear Xiao Ai's children's evening dress because he had turned into a child and had no suitable clothes to wear.

And the most important thing is that the other party saw the way he was wearing Xiao Ai's clothes.

In this regard, just recalling it made him feel extremely ashamed. Gao Yuan finally summed up the whole incident as——

"Due to a certain case, I couldn't wear my original clothes, so I had to put on the only women's clothes I had, but the owner of the clothes saw me."

Then, through a whisper, he told this matter to Kyoko Kōsei who looked expectant - anyway, after today, Kyoko Kōshang wouldn't remember such things.

"Speaking of which, what about the shame that Mr. Franc doesn't seem to understand?"

At this time, Makura could not help but ask Kizui Hōrō.

"Huh? Me?"

Faced with this problem, Kizui Franzhi couldn't help but smile, and then said:

"For people of my age, the shameful past memories they recall are the stuff of precious stories!"

Kizui Hōrō said nonchalantly.

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, she seemed to be a little dissatisfied. Miss Kyoko asked Makumama Makari, and it turned out that, like Gao Yuan, she whispered something in her ear.

So, Miss Kyoko, who seemed very happy, turned her attention to Yagawa Tuo who was mopping the floor——

"What about Xiao Tu?"

"Xiao Tu, do you have any shameful memories?"

In the middle of the show, Ma Lai couldn't help but help, and said to Ye Chuantu.

In response, facing two women asking about his shameful past, Ye Chuantu looked silent, took the mop, turned around and ran to the men's room...

Seeing Miss Kyoko looking so happy at this moment, Yin Tate Ousuke seemed to regret the choice just now, so he found a topic and asked Takato in surprise:

"Mr. Akechi! When did you come?"

"It's been a while... since you mentioned the store manager's wife."

Gao Yuan replied, and then asked slightly strangely:

"But then again, weren't you the one who invited me over for lunch? I thought you had finally turned a corner and something good had happened to you. Why did I hear you say that you lost your job again when I came here?"

"So, you're going to change jobs again?"

Kizui Franzhi couldn't help but said with emotion:

"It's like this every time, it's really hard work."

"Actually, I recently feel that changing jobs is not a bad thing."

Faced with this inquiry, Yin Tate Ousuke did not show how disappointed he was. Instead, he said plausibly:

"The experience accumulated in various jobs sometimes comes into play in unexpected places. It is not meaningless!"

Saying this, Ousuke Yintate recalled that when he and Miss Kyoko participated in the investigation of a certain case, Miss Kyoko said "That is also meaningful" after hearing her complaint that she often had to change jobs, so her expression became clear. Somewhat pleased.

"I began to think that maybe there was such a way to live."

Yin Tate Osuke continued to speak swornly, then looked at Miss Kyoko and gave her a smile.

When Miss Kyoko saw this, she politely smiled back——

“So, thanks to finding a job and changing jobs, I have most of the knowledge.”

Yin Tate Esuke said very proudly:

"Just like that, with confidence, I was finally officially hired!"

Saying this, Yin Tate Ousuke took out a new work ID card from his pocket——

"Sakura Women's Academy, junior high school building administrator?"

In the middle of the show, Shinlai looked surprised and read out the unit and position on his work permit. Hōro Kizui asked in surprise:

"Hey, school?"

"He's the building manager of the middle school."

Yin Tate Ousuke said with a smile, put his work permit back in his pocket, and continued to explain:

"From cleaning to repair and maintenance, we have to deal with each other one by one. It is a very detailed work content."

"Very good. But..."

Kizui Franzhi smiled with some evil intentions.

"Sakura Women's Academy? It sounds like a girls' school, right?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask.

On the other hand, Kyoko, who was holding the cup on his chest, seemed to show a trace of concern about this reason.

"The most serious problem..."

Yin Tate Osuke couldn't help but admit this reason, and said with a sad face.

"It's very dangerous!"

With a teasing smile, Kizui Hōrō couldn't help but say this.

"It's too dangerous, so in order not to arouse suspicion, I have to try not to look at the female students and work cautiously."

Hidden Ousuke couldn't help but say.

"It doesn't hurt to look at each other, right?"

Puzzled, Miss Kyoko asked.

"It's very dangerous. I don't know what kind of bad luck it will bring to me."

Yin Tate Osuke said helplessly.

"But in short, compared to working odd jobs in different places before, now I have a formal job, which can be considered a big development!"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but comfort him.

"That's right!"

Yin Tate Ousuke couldn't help but said:

"So, in order to welcome a better life ahead, I'm going to treat you all to lunch today! Miss Kyoko, Mr. Akechi, please be sure to show your respect!"

"Huh? Even I..."

Miss Kyoko asked doubtfully.

"Yes."

Yin Tate Osuke said somewhat solemnly:

"If I encounter any bad luck in this job, it will definitely be a big deal. So, Miss Kyoko and Mr. Akechi, who often help me, please give me more advice in the future!"

"I see, you've already started preparing to invite detectives before you even start work?"

Seeing this, Kizui Franzhi said something meaningful.

"But wouldn't this be unlucky?"

The intermission really comes and goes.

"But the other party is Esuke after all."

Ye Chuantu, who came out of the toilet, also came over and added.

…

And everything turned out to be exactly as Yin Tate Ousuke expected. As a man who has always been plagued by bad luck, Yin Tate Ousuke's self-awareness made him clear that he could not take things lightly at any time.

However, he did not expect that this matter would be so serious——

On a rainy morning, Yin Tate Ousuke held an umbrella and was about to go to the school building for cleaning work.

And just as he was about to enter the school building, a girl from the junior high school fell from the roof of the six-story school building...
