Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 124: Limitations of the Times

"Mr. Hosoya, please excuse me! What's your question?"

Looking at the unhappy expressions of Hosoya and Hong in front of her, Mingmei asked curiously.

"Alas, the teacher is drunk and won't listen to anything I say. So, I can only try to visit the teacher again after some time."

Sighing helplessly, Xiya and Hong forced a smile, nodded to the few people, and walked outside.

"Great Detective, it seems your premonition was wrong! He had no intention of harming Professor Hirota."

Watching Hosoya leave, Xiaoai said with a smile.

"Who told you that he was the one who would be in trouble?"

Conan rolled his eyes:

"For a middle-aged man like him, with parents above him and children below him, this is the age when he is least likely to commit crimes due to impulse.

Unless he has been holding a grudge against me for a long time, even if Professor Hirota directly refuses, he will not attack him!"

"then you?"

"Just because I said Professor Hirota might be in danger tonight doesn't mean I'm talking about this guest!"

Conan rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

"Let's go. Now, let's go find Professor Hirota and get the disk you sent to the wrong place."

After saying that, Conan took the lead and walked out the door.

"Tsk, he's a famous detective, but he doesn't even dare to admit his defeat."

Watching Conan leave, Ai, who mistakenly thought he was running away, muttered a few words to herself, then followed her sister and walked quickly towards Professor Hirota's room.

......

"You must be Mingmei's friend!"

Inside the house, Professor Hirota was sitting in the room drunk. He looked up and glanced at the people who pushed the door open.

"By the way, why doesn't Mingmei come and get this disk herself?"

As he spoke, he opened a box next to him and began to search.

"Well... Miss Mingmei, she encountered some problems and is not very convenient to show up."

Mingmei looked a little embarrassed. Asking her to make up a lie about her absence seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.

"By the way, Professor, Mingmei has been involved in some things. Just to be on the safe side, could you please not tell anyone that we came here to look for the disk?"

"Is that so?"

Hirota Masaru stopped what he was doing and looked up at Mingmei, a hint of doubt in his eyes. However, he didn't say much, just nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I see."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a young man's voice came from outside:

"Professor Hirota, are you there?"

Guangtian paused for a moment, then continued searching.

"Excuse me, that's another student of mine. I just didn't expect him to come so early. Let me find the disk for you first."

Mingmei was about to say something when she saw Conan beside her giving her a wink.

Seeing this, Mingmei probably guessed something, so she smiled and said to Professor Hirota:

"Professor Hirota, it's okay, we're not in a hurry.

Besides, since the guest outside is yours, there is no point in making him wait outside. You should go open the door first."

Seeing Mingmei say this, Hirota Masaru thought about it and it seemed to be the case, so he nodded and stopped what he was doing:

"Since you've said that, I'm really sorry. Please allow me to leave for a while."

"of course can."

After saying that, the three of them watched Professor Hirota leave and walk towards the door.

After the door was closed, Ai glanced at Conan:

"Just as you said, Great Detective, there are other visitors! So, is he the one who threatens Professor Hirota?"

"That's a high probability! However, it's also possible that because we're here, he'll choose to endure it. So, is this a sting operation?"

Conan actually didn't really want to do this. In the original story, Shirakura killed someone on impulse, mainly because no one else saw him. As long as the three of them were there, he probably wouldn't do it.

After all, impulsive killing is impulsive killing, but killing impulsively when you know you will definitely be arrested is an overreaction.

"forget it."

After thinking about it, Mingmei shook her head:

"If possible, it's better not to let the professor's students act impulsively."

Conan nodded and agreed to this.

However, just as the three of them were discussing inside the house, the young man outside the door suddenly spoke in a very loud voice:

"So, Professor, didn't I tell you? That photo is very important to me! It's related to the magazine's next project! So, could you please lend me that disk photo?"

Although his voice was calm, there was a strong sense of anger in it.

"You kid, why are you making such a loud noise?"

Professor Hirota's drunken voice came:

"Didn't I tell you? I put that photo in that disk and I've forgotten about it for a long time! But if you want the photo I sent you before, I can give it to you right away. Think about it carefully!"

As they talked, they walked towards us. The sound of their footsteps and voices grew louder and louder.

"Professor! I'm serious, I'm not kidding!"

"I'm not kidding either."

Professor Hirota, under the influence of alcohol, looked at the student in front of him who, after plastic surgery, valued his appearance more than anything else:

"I told you, if you want photos of your true past appearance, I can always get them out. I can even send them directly to the editorial office for you."

Listening to the conversation between the two outside, Conan was also a little helpless. How should I put it, Professor Hirota, maybe his heart is good, I hope he can show his truest side.

It's a pity that as an old man, how could he understand the current trend of society? He can make fun of things and pranks, but he must not post photos of himself without makeup or beauty enhancement.

Especially for a model like Shirakura who relies on his looks to make a living, once he is discovered, his modeling career will almost come to an end.

All I can say is that this is a problem caused by the different perceptions of two people from two different eras.

If Professor Hirota could understand the trend of this era and people's basic understanding of professions such as idols and models, he would not have joked with him about something that might ruin Shirakura's career.

"professor!"

At this time, outside the house, the anger in Shirakura's voice had turned into reality. Even the three people in the house could hear the thick anger.

However, Professor Hirota did not notice this. Perhaps, he thought that his students would not really get angry over such a small matter.
