Stay away from Conan

Chapter 490 Koizumi Hongzi’s request

Somewhat curious, after taking the tarot card handed over by Koizumi Hongzi, Gao Yuan turned it over and saw that this card was a "Priestess"——

Regarding this, Gao Yuan looked at Hongzi with some confusion, and Hongzi also began to explain aloud:

"When the Tarot of Destiny provides guidance, the Crimson Witch can look for the dying hermit, go to the hourglass, and ask for gifts from the future."

Seriously, Hongzi said such impressive words, then paused, looked at Gao Yuan and said:

"And just this morning, when I was doing a divination for Mr. Kuroyu, my inspiration was accidentally attracted by this tarot card, and then I came to find you."

"The hermit who will...pass away?"

After listening to Koizumi Hongzi's words, Gao Yuan frowned slightly and had a keen reaction to the word she mentioned just now.

"That's you."

Koizumi Hongzi nodded and said with great certainty.

"Why?"

Somewhat seriously, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask——

When it comes to "Hermit", the first thing that comes to mind is his own prop called "Hermit". But in Koizumi Hongzi's words, the word "will eventually pass away" is added in front of "hermit", which can't help but give me a bad association...

Although, "The Hermit" is essentially an ordinary piece of clothing, it seems okay to say that it "will eventually pass away." But the problem is that in Koizumi Hongzi’s prophecy, this word seems to refer to herself...

"intuition."

Faced with Gao Yuan's question, Hongzi just replied:

"Although I don't know the specific meaning, I intuitively know that the 'hermit' mentioned in the prophecy is you... Moreover, your magical clothes with illusion also have some meaning of 'hermit' …”

Saying this, Hongzi couldn't help but frown and said:

"However, I don't know what the 'hourglass' refers to at the moment..."

"'Hourglass'..."

Seeing that Hongzi could not answer the specific meaning of "will eventually pass away", Gao Yuan could not continue to ask in detail, so he also began to think about the meaning of the remaining words in the prophecy——

"'Hourglass' means the passage of time, happy love, precious friendship..."

Hongzi thought about it and read out the details he could think of in a low voice, but this meaning could not be connected with "going to the hourglass".

"'Sand Clock'...'Hourglass'...'Sandglass'!"

Suddenly, Gao Yuan's mind naturally converted the Japanese expression for "hourglass" into Chinese characters. The sudden inspiration made him think of the English writing method——

"Sandglass".

And this word can naturally remind Gao Yuan of the detective agency that can accept detective commissions, the "Sandglass" apartment where the "Detective Agency" is located.

"You know what it is!"

Hongzi couldn't help but ask when Gao Yuan pronounced the word "Sandglass" slightly unexpectedly.

"Well, it's the name of an apartment that houses a detective agency."

Gao Yuan explained.

"In that case, let's go there now!"

Hongzi couldn't help but stand up and said:

"Give me the gift from the future as soon as possible so that I can solve the danger of Kuroba-kun tonight."

"Do you know what the 'gift' would be?"

When Hongzi said this, Gao Yuan was slightly surprised and said——

After all, if the prophecy Koizumi Anko said is the same as what she understands, it means that she made a contract with Koizumi Anko ten years later during the "Queen of Swords" dream trial. It is also effective in reality, which means that my next special reward must be given to her.

However, even I am not sure when I will be able to pass the settlement panel again, reach the "S" level evaluation, and obtain the reward. There are actually very few chances of getting an "S" grade rating yourself. After all, real cracking cases cannot be used to increase points like playing games.

"have no idea."

Hongzi shook his head, but said with absolute certainty:

"But according to the prophecy, that thing is very important to me, it is by no means a simple item... Moreover, you even have such magical clothes, I think the gift I got from you must not be simple... But then again, you You really don’t want to lend me this piece of clothing for research?”

"Can you please stop asking this every time we meet..."

After hearing Hongzi's words, Gao Yuan helplessly held his forehead and replied seriously:

"As for the prophecy, I probably know what's going on. When the time comes, I will give the things to you. You can go back today."

"No, just today!"

Hongzi said seriously:

"From the very beginning when I got a hint of prophecy, until today, it was only this morning that I felt the guidance of the Tarot cards and got the detailed prophecy... I have a hunch that if I miss today, I don’t know when the next time will be!”

"but……"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but said:

"Even if you say so, I still have things to do in the afternoon..."

As he said that, Gao Yuan couldn't help but look at the kitchen where there were still many dishes to be cooked.

"Cooking can be done quickly!"

Koizumi Hongzi looked along Gao Yuan's line of sight and couldn't help but said:

"At worst, after I get the gift, I'll come to help you too!"

"but……"

"Stop talking so much, let's leave now!"

Very urgently, Koizumi Hongzi interrupted Gao Yuan's words and pulled Gao Yuan to go out:

"I must get that gift before Kidd takes action tonight!"

Koizumi Anko said very seriously, looked into Gao Yuan's eyes, and added:

"Besides, that gift should also be of great benefit to you!"

——"How do I know this? Before I get the specific reward, I don't know what the reward is at all! And, compared to the benefits, the trials like 'Devil' and 'Sword' are more like Deliberately torture me!"

Gao Yuan thought helplessly in his heart, and then couldn't help but say:

"However, I don't think Kuroba-san will encounter much difficulty. With his agility, I think he can turn danger into disaster."

"Are you looking down on my divination?"

But for Gao Yuan's seemingly comforting words, Hongzi couldn't help but say angrily.

Seeing Koizumi Hongzi's serious look, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then thought about it and sighed:

"Okay, let's go take a look. But before that, let me tidy up the kitchen first!"

With that said, Gao Yuan came to the kitchen, placed a camera in front of the stove, aimed at the two dishes that needed to be simmered for a long time on the stove, then started the stove, turned on low heat, and set the timer - —

Smart gas stoves, coupled with surveillance cameras, should be able to ensure safe cooking after you leave.

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel relieved when he looked at the data in his mobile phone that could be controlled remotely——

Just in time, let’s test the newly built intelligent control system!
