Chapter 822 Amuro Tooru: I Want to Recruit Kid
Kogoro Mouri and Conan were right; Tooru Amuro's visit today definitely had a purpose...
Even his statement that the coffee shop gave him a day off today carries a hint of evasion.
The owner of Poirot Cafe did give him a day off, but it wasn't the owner who offered it; Amuro Tooru requested it himself.
Their purpose was to come to Kogoro Mouri's place early in the morning to gather some useful information—
As early as yesterday, Amuro Tooru had heard something that interested him from the owner of Poirot Cafe.................................
"Hey, did you hear?"
The owner of Poirot Café, during a break from work, chatted with Tooru Amuro.
"Mr. Mori and his family are going out to play tomorrow during the day..............................."
"Oh?"
Amuro Tooru was slightly taken aback, and asked the boss with some curiosity,
Do you know where they're going to have fun...?
"Well..."
The boss stroked his chin, pondered for a moment,
"I think I heard Xiaolan mention it yesterday, something about going on some kind of airship..."
"Ha ha,"
At this point, the boss smiled.
"Mr. Mori truly lives the life of a great detective; his life is so rich and colorful..."
"Compared to those of us who honestly work a regular job, they can go anywhere..."
"Amuro, you must study hard under Mr. Mori's tutelage. Perhaps I can benefit from your influence someday..."
"Oh, I see..."
Amuro Tooru smiled but didn't say anything more.
He narrowed his eyes, pondering the matter in his mind...
As an outstanding special agent of the public security department and a powerful information gatherer, he has always been someone who pays close attention to the details of life.................................
Although he only knew that the Mori family was going to take the airship the next day, this had already revealed a lot of information to him—
Firstly, airships are not a very common mode of transportation, so the fact that they were able to invite Kogoro Mouri, a renowned detective, must mean there was some media coverage involved...
The second one is.................................
Kogoro Mouri, his teacher, seems to be hiding something from him...
Amuro Tooru felt somewhat uneasy.
Although I did come to the Mouri Detective Agency and become Kogoro Mouri's apprentice with a certain purpose, but................................
He believed that his intentions had not harmed anyone.
On the contrary, he even gave Kogoro Mouri many nice gifts in order to become his apprentice............................
Cigarettes, fine wine, and so on and so forth...............................
However, Kogoro Mouri seems to be like a master from the last century, always keeping a watchful eye on his apprentice...
I either brush off my daily self-discipline or just laugh it off.
Amuro Tooru didn't say anything about that, but when he went out, that old man never took him with him...
Every time, I had to take the initiative to ask, and with Ran Mouri, that young high school girl, helping me out, I was able to hitch a ride with Kogoro Mouri.................................
I don't know if the old man figured something out, or if that brat Conan, who's been deliberately distancing himself from him lately, whispered something in his ear...
Yes, it definitely comes down to pillow talk, because Conan sleeps in the same room as Kogoro Mouri...
However, it's unlikely that the old man noticed anything—
Amuro Tooru didn't believe that such a clueless detective could detect any information about himself...
Yes, in Amuro Tooru's mind, Kogoro Mouri is just a bumbling detective.............................
Every day, besides smoking, drinking, playing mahjong, gambling on horse races, chasing celebrities, and playing pachinko, you could say he does everything except for serious matters...
Fortunately, this guy consistently received some good cases, and the family's inherited house in Tokyo's most bustling downtown area provided them with a considerable income...
Otherwise, given Kogoro Mouri's spendthrift nature, Ran might not even have been able to grow up properly, let alone go to high school.
but.............................
Thinking about this, Amuro Tooru couldn't help but feel a bit resentful towards Conan.
Does this guy really hate himself that much.............................
This dislike came rather inexplicably.............................
Not only is she deliberately distancing herself from me, but she's also been spreading rumors and gossip to Kogoro Mouri, all because she doesn't want me around him...
Hehe, since that's the case, I'm going to stick with you guys like glue and see what secrets you're hiding............................
Conan thus ignited Amuro Tooru's competitive spirit.
While working at Poirot's Café, he took advantage of his break to immediately use his network to check for the latest news about airships...
Amuro Tooru didn't waste much time, because he immediately found the relevant information in the second section of the daily newspaper from a few days ago.
Upon seeing the information, Amuro Tooru's eyes lit up...
The Suzuki Foundation's airship, carrying a super gem, presents a challenge to Phantom Thief Kid.
What a wonderful script................................
No wonder they invited Kogoro Mouri over..............................
As far as he knew, the last time the senior advisor of the Suzuki Foundation challenged Kaito Kid, he invited Kogoro Mouri's family to the event, which successfully protected his jewel from Kaito Kid's theft...
Although, in the end, it was Conan who found Jirokichi Suzuki as an advisor and stopped Kaito Kid from doing so...........................
But it doesn't matter, everyone will blame Conan's actions on Kogoro Mouri...
Therefore, it was entirely expected that Suzuki Jirokichi would once again invite Kogoro Mouri's family...
hehe............................
Amuro Tooru smiled slightly to himself.
Not bad, not bad at all, Kaito Kid...
Amuro Tooru was extremely curious about Kaito Kid, the master thief with unparalleled disguise skills...
After all, he had seen someone in the organization, similar to Kaito Kid, who had mastered the art of disguise to an unparalleled degree.
Vermouth.............................
He really wanted to know what the relationship was between Phantom Thief Kid and Vermouth.............................
Although there is another Lupin III who also possesses superb disguise skills, Amuro Tooru's intuition tells him that Vermouth is connected to the Phantom Thief Kid...
Catching Phantom Thief Kid might yield some information about Vermouth—
This enigmatic, ever-changing witch, even within the organization, was someone Amuro Tooru had long wanted to understand more about...
Now that he has such an opportunity, how could he possibly give it up so easily?
Furthermore, even if we can't obtain information related to Vermouth, if we can designate Phantom Thief Kid as a special talent for the Public Security Bureau and get some disguise techniques from him...
That was a huge victory!
This means that the public security department can mass-produce experts skilled in disguise.
Even if they can't produce them all, having Phantom Thief Kid occasionally create a few human skin masks would be of great help in their efforts to eliminate evil and wipe out the organization.
The last time Kaito Kid caused trouble, he hadn't even returned to Japan yet.
Now that I've run into him and have a legitimate reason to approach him, there's no reason for me not to do it...
So, Amuro Tooru immediately asked the owner of Poirot Cafe for a day off after get off work this afternoon........................
The reason, of course, is that I'm going on a field mission tomorrow with my detective mentor, Kogoro Mouri..........................
When the owner of Poirot's Cafe heard that the reason for the leave was related to his landlord, he immediately and readily agreed...
Then, the next morning, which was this morning, happened—the scene of Amuro Tooru arriving at the Mori family's house unfolded........................
