Chapter 355: Dark Eyes (Part )
After a period of peace, Conan went home from school as usual today and returned to the Mouri Detective Agency. Mouri Kogoro was reading the newspaper at this time. He was concerned about whether his horse racing ticket had won.
"Oh, damn, just a little bit off again." After seeing the result, Kogoro Mouri slumped in his chair like a deflated ball. It was obvious that he missed the mark again.
However, Yoko Okino's show was about to begin, and Kogoro Mouri, despite his recent loss in horse racing, turned on the TV with great interest and started watching the show. He threw the newspaper he had just held in his hand to Conan.
"Uncle, please don't throw the newspaper everywhere. Sister Xiaolan will blame us when she comes back." Conan complained after catching the newspaper.
Suddenly, Conan saw the headline of the newspaper: "Famous physics professor dies unexpectedly, his students claim it was not an accident."
"The other day, renowned physics professor Alvar Lorentz accidentally caused a fire during an experiment. The cause was a malfunction of the experimental equipment and a damaged fire-fighting system. The police considered the incident a simple accident and have closed the case. However, Professor Lorentz's student, Mr. Luca Barsa, claims this was no ordinary accident."
Conan was shocked when he saw the report. He had met the master and apprentice pair, the Hermit and the Prisoner. In the previous Crystal Palace incident, the Prisoner had helped them find out the truth of the ghost incident. He didn't expect to see such news on the headlines.
Thinking of this, Conan decided to go to the Delos Manor to ask the novelist what was going on, and by the way, he also called Dr. Agasa. After all, these two scholars had been to the Delos Manor, and Dr. Agasa had also met them at that academic exchange meeting.
"Dr. Agasa, have you read today's newspaper? The newspaper says that Professor Lorenz..." As soon as Conan ran to Dr. Agasa's house, he wanted to tell Dr. Agasa the news.
Ai Huiyuan covered her ears and complained, "Loud Detective, Dr. Agasa is not deaf or blind. He has also seen today's headlines. You two should discuss it among yourselves and don't disturb me."
After saying that, Haibara Ai returned to her room to continue her work. A drop of sweat fell from Conan's forehead: "How am I loud?"
Dr. Agasa came out holding a teacup: "Shinichi, I saw this incident too. I never thought that the master and apprentice would experience such an accident."
"Then, Doctor, what do you think about the newspaper report that Professor Lorenz died in an experimental accident?"
"To be honest, I don't believe that someone as cautious as Professor Lorenz would die in an experimental accident. Besides, Professor Lorenz has had experience and lessons in this regard."
Conan recalled at this time: "Indeed, Professor Lorenz once experienced an accident when he was conducting an experiment with his good friend Mr. Hermann, so he should be more careful in this regard."
"You haven't come to any conclusion after thinking about it for a long time. Why not go and ask what's going on? Mr. Charles sent me an email saying that Mr. Luca has been staying at the Delos Manor these days."
"Then I'll go find Uncle Orpheus now." Conan tucked his scooter under his arm and ran out the door.
"That kid's still as impatient as ever." Dr. Agasa shook his head helplessly and walked over to his computer. "Alas, Mr. Charles also sent me the latest version of the aircraft improvement proposal, saying that Professor Lorenz helped to modify the power part..."
Conan rode his scooter all the way to the door of Delos Manor at lightning speed. Before he could ring the doorbell, he heard a series of ghost howling sounds.
After ringing the doorbell, it was Crazy Eyes who opened the door. He glanced at Conan and sighed, "Alas, poor little Luca. First his father sacrificed his life for research, then his mother passed away, then his best friend parted ways with him, and now his respected teacher. Sigh."
Conan ran all the way to the grassy area in front of the Delos Manor. The prisoner was lying on the iron head of Guard No. 26, howling and crying: "Ahhhhhhh!"
Guard No. 26, who was watering the plants with a kettle, was now constantly issuing warnings: "Warning, warning! The shell is leaking! The shell is leaking!"
Normally, Crazy Eyes would have scolded the prisoner for not taking good care of his invention when he saw this scene, but this time Crazy Eyes just sighed and said, "Looks like I still have to update the waterproof function of No. 26."
The little girl on the side looked at the two "showers" and comforted them: "Brother Luca, don't be sad, get off Bang Bang quickly."
[Mechanic: Luca, stop acting too much! Get off Bang Bang! What if there's a power outage?]
[Prisoner: I have an electric body, so why should I be afraid of leakage?]
[Meteorologist: It feels like Luca's crying was all emotion, no technique at all.]
[Hitter: Who cries like that? I give up.]
[Forward: After all, when Luka gets wronged, he usually grabs people by the collar instead of crying.]
[Spellcaster: The strongest one.]
Conan noticed that in addition to the little girl, the blind girl and another tall, strong red-haired woman were also here. Conan turned his inquiring eyes to the red-haired woman.
Noticing Conan's inquiring gaze, the archer took the initiative to introduce himself to him: "This must be the Conan Miss Helena mentioned. Hello, I am Brunhild Valfu, Miss Helena's current bodyguard."
Conan looked at the flamboyant and dashing archer, who was wearing a pirate-like eyepatch, and thought to himself, "Brenhildr, that's a very Nordic name, and she wears that eyepatch. Where did Sister Helena hire a bodyguard like that?"
After thinking for a while, Conan asked, "Sister Brunel, what did you do before? Why did you become Sister Helena's bodyguard?"
"Our family, the Werufu, has been for generations the most formidable...experts in maritime cargo transport. Everyone in our family has made their living at sea," the archer said proudly. "The person I admire most is my great-grandfather's mother, Lieutenant Lagertha. With her foresight, she led our family's ship, the Vinland, into a bright new future."
But then the archer scratched his head sheepishly. "Although I share the same name as the Valkyrie, I haven't been able to do my job properly and failed to live up to my family's expectations... So my great-grandfather suggested that I take on some simple tasks to gain experience."
"Sea freight?" Conan pondered the strange title with a puzzled look on his face. "Hmm, it doesn't seem like an ordinary shipping company."
[Night Watchman: I finally came up with a perfect excuse!]
[Jack: Um, it doesn’t seem so perfect.]
[Archer: Grandpa, it's okay. I think this is a good excuse.]
[Factory Manager: So, has Little Ita accepted his status as a "great-grandfather" so quickly?]
[Night Watchman: There are examples like Mr. Joseph who look young but are actually quite old. I don't think there's anything unacceptable about that.]
[Photographer: ...]
"Then let me help Mr. Balsa get off the robot!" The archer took out a bow and arrow from his backpack, then drew the bow and aimed the rubber arrow at the prisoner.
"Eh?" Conan looked at the archer's actions with a puzzled look on his face. "Wait, Sister Brenhill, you are not going to..."
