Five-person group:?
Ah, I only just said yesterday that you had bad luck, today you're already demonstrating it?
Speaking of which, Sawada Tsunayoshi was truly at a loss. He just wanted to go buy breakfast, but the breakfast shop he usually goes to wasn't open. He went to a place further away, wanted to use the restroom, then someone died right next to the next stall!
Chapter 59: Conan Live Day 20
"Brother Tian, I see you again. It looks like today will be another day of hitting targets," Inspector Megure said as he rushed over after receiving the report, unable to help but glare at Sawada Tsunayoshi as if he were seeing a ghost.
Then he became very happy again, smiling as he pulled Sawada Tsunayoshi into an embrace.
Ignoring Sawada Tsunayoshi's bitter expression.
He was truly at his wits' end.
He was just buying an ordinary breakfast and had gone to the restroom to wash his hands because his fingers had gotten dirty. He had no idea why the shop owner suddenly died in the stall two doors down from him, then, as the first person on the scene, he was treated as a criminal suspect.
His phone wasn't there either, so he would go find his good friend to testify that he was truly just an ordinary police academy student!
Mori Kogoro walked in with the two children, shouting, "Boss, three bowls of noodles, make them quick, young Tsunayoshi!"
He saw the familiar pairing, Sawada Tsunayoshi paired with Inspector Megure.
Without a second thought, Mr. Mori made a successful prediction: "Holy crap, have you become a suspect again, kid?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi said with a tearful face, "Mr. Mori, you're not eating right now; the most important thing is to ask the Great Detective to help clear my name!"
The words "great detective" clearly delighted Mori Kogoro, he laughed loudly with a thick tongue, "Hahaha, kid Tsunayoshi, you're lucky to have run into me. Don't you worry, I, the great detective Mori Kogoro, will definitely investigate this matter and clear your name!"
He stepped forward to approach the police to learn the cause of the incident, then closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
This solemn appearance stunned everyone into silence, giving him the space to think.
After a short while, Mori Kogoro opened his eyes, they flashed with realization: "I understand, I understand everything! There is only one truth! Kid Tanagishi, surrender!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi fainted.
The Five-person group, who had thought he would have some kind of brilliant speech, also cast skeptical glances at Mori Kogoro.
Is this man really reliable?
Even little Mori Ran and Kudo Shinichi felt helpless.
Mori Ran stood with her hands on her hips, pointing at Mori Kogoro and saying, "Dad, you're being too careless! The motive, the method—you haven't even mentioned a single one, yet you're already talking back. It's so unfair to this older brother!"
Shinichi had his hands in his pockets, his eyes drooping. "That's what I'm saying, Uncle. A third-rate detective shouldn't come out here just to cause trouble for people."
After the Five-person group realized the other person was unreliable, they began investigating the case themselves. Each performed his duty, acting separately, they soon found the real killer.
The killer was just an ordinary guest!
I said I don't want green onions, but she—he still put green onions in it, which is just looking down on me, so I killed him, so what? Do you have any objections?
What a sloppy excuse, yet such a self-righteous attitude.
The culprit was taken away, Ran Mori was still scolding Mori Kogoro, Sawada Tsunayoshi also said helplessly, "Mr. Mori, please don't misidentify me again next time."
Mori Kogoro used a loud laugh to hide his embarrassment.
Sawada Tsunayoshi took them to another restaurant for a meal, it wasn't until they had finished their breakfast in peace that they heard a scream.
A guest has died.
It was a middle-aged woman at the table next to the six of them.
Just in time, as Mori Kogoro stepped into the shop, the two groups locked eyes, Sawada Tsunayoshi was the first to greet him, "Mr. Mori, you can't blame me this time."
Mori Kogoro's lips twitched. "Look at what you're saying, kid. I'm not the kind of person who talks nonsense. Is there really a need to be so wary of me?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi said decisively, "Yes, I am." How many times have you said that to me?
Mori Kogoro chose to ignore his gaze, pretending he didn't understand.
Everyone stay right here. Shinichi, Ran, close the door and call the police. Everyone present is a suspect, anyone who leaves will be treated as a criminal suspect. I am the detective Mori Kogoro, I will solve this case as quickly as possible to clear everyone's name.
The two children closed the door and stood on either side of Mori Kogoro. At this moment, Mori Kogoro spoke with great force and conviction, making him very persuasive.
This caused Sawada Tsunayoshi to have a fresh perception of him; so Mr. Mori could actually be reliable sometimes.
The scene gradually quieted down, the police arrived quickly. It was Inspector Megure again.
Inspector Megure saw Sawada Tsunayoshi and rubbed his rounded chin. "That's the second time today, young Sawada. Have you been undergoing some advanced training this month? Your power seems to have increased even more."
Tsunayoshi, Tsunayoshi had nothing to say.
This was obviously a joke; everyone was very serious when encountering such an incident, the police immediately launched an investigation.
Kudo Shinichi tugged on Mr. Mori's pant leg. "Hey, Mr. Mori, what did Inspector Megure mean by that? Is there something strange about that guy?"
Mori Kogoro let out a hiss, "That kid is quite unlucky."
He told the two children about Sawada Tsunayoshi's tragic five days, which was an eye-opening experience for the two children.
Ran Mori felt saddened by Sawada Tsunayoshi's ordeal, while Kudo Shinichi possessed a highly active mind even at such a young age.
He went through a series of associations; how could someone be so unlucky that it could no longer be explained by science?
So, either Sawada Tsunayoshi himself was the problem, having designed those cases and then finding a scapegoat; or he was being watched, with someone committing crimes by his side.
Whichever the case, it made the child, who had been interested in detective work from such a young age, feel that Mori Kogoro was superstitious.
However, the events of the following day taught him that sometimes, one still needs to be superstitious.
A long, long time later, until Kudo Shinichi grew up and became a famous detective, someone told him that he was the reincarnation of a Death God, that wherever he went, someone died, so he should go pay his respects.
The great Kudo Shinichi would sigh with a complex look in his eyes that others couldn't understand, saying, "You're still too young; you haven't seen enough of the world. If someone like me is called a Death God, then what about Sawada Tsunayoshi? What should he be called?"
A soul reaper? You must be joking.
The case was also resolved relatively quickly; it was a simple case. The killer was the boss. Because the deceased had left a negative review for this shop a few days ago but had returned today, the boss felt he was being toyed with, so he killed him.
Hearing this reason, everyone present fell silent.
Until they walked out the door, Date Wataru and the others were in a daze, muttering to themselves in disbelief.
They seemed to have gained a bit of an understanding of Sawada Tsunayoshi's miraculous luck.
Hara Kenji said with a smile, trying to smooth things over, "Let's not talk about that anymore. Since we finally have a rare holiday, let's go to the amusement park. It'll be crowded there with plenty of positive energy, so we definitely won't encounter anything strange."
He even mentioned positive energy; it was clear that Hara Kenji was a bit superstitious himself.
Sawada Tsunayoshi also felt that it was impossible for him to be that unlucky. He happily agreed to the proposal to go to the amusement park and put on his backpack, his eyes seemingly sparkling with excitement.
Hiromitsu Morofushi watched him acting like he was on an elementary school field trip, smiled as he shortened the straps on Tsunayoshi's backpack for him. "You're that happy?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi was in high spirits: "That's right. I never went when I didn't have friends before, after I got friends, we went to amusement parks together, but something unexpected always happened every single time, so I haven't really gotten to play much."
I'm so happy, to be able to play to my heart's content with my friends.
I'm talking about you, Reborn. You've caused countless unexpected situations; no matter what they plan or where they decide to go, it always ends up turning into a Vongola-style excursion.
There will inevitably be some obstacles that will leave him exhausted and everyone else worn out from running.
This world without the evil Reborn is wonderful; he's definitely going to have a blast at the amusement park.
Sawada Tsunayoshi spoke with honesty, but to the few people who didn't understand the situation, what he said sounded like something else entirely.
Damn it, how could a child as well-behaved as Tsuna have no friends? Are you all blind, bullying him!
Going to the amusement park to play wasn't even fun; a murder must have occurred. This damn, eerie constitution, get off him, dammit!
Furuya Rei looked seriously at the cheerful amusement park, filled with laughter and joy; he truly looked like a warrior heading into battle. "Tana, just enjoy yourself, no accidents will happen this time."
Date Wataru crossed his arms over his chest. "All evil will be swept away by me."
So, let's go!
Sawada Tsunayoshi:?
What are they burning?
Never mind, let's go play.
Ten minutes later, the fire in their hearts was extinguished by a bucket of cold water, they sat by the flowerbed, dejected and slumped.
The familiar police, the familiar Mori Kogoro trio, the familiar murder case.
The deceased was a student working part-time; he was playing a teddy bear mascot handing out balloons when he was found dead in a bush by Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Mori Kogoro stared blankly at the familiar group of people; at this moment, he was in no mood for jokes either. He looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi with a near-splitting headache. "Kid Tsunayoshi, just tell me where you're going later so I can avoid it in advance. Have some sympathy for the hardships of a single father taking his child out for a stroll."
Then who would empathize with his hardships?
Sawada Tsunayoshi had originally been an innocent little boy who had never even seen a corpse, yet he was forced to see them here, becoming extremely calm as a result.
Reborn would be very gratified, Tsunayoshi thought calmly.
Investigate the case. The deceased was a philanderer; what a familiar character trope. I met him on the first day, so easy.
But this playboy was a scoundrel; he broke up an affectionate couple, then got involved with the woman, then got involved with the man, all while stringing the two newly separated lovers along.
According to the playboy, it was very thrilling.
Then, it became too much excitement, the couple teamed up to kill him. They simultaneously lured the playboy out and hid him inside a mask before killing him.
The amusement park continued to stay open, while saying it was no big deal, several people continued to play with Sawada Tsunayoshi.
An hour later, Kudo Shinichi suddenly ran into the familiar six-person group.
This time, the victim was a cleaner. Isn't the probability of someone dying in a restroom or somewhere similar being too high?
At this moment, even he, a man of science, felt his faith waver.
Can science really explain this clearly? Isn't this a bit too transcendental?
This time, Matsuda Jinpei grasped Sawada Tsunayoshi's hand, his face glowing with righteousness: "Ha, looks like it's a bad day today; I've actually been struck by this damn bad luck too."
Tsunayoshi, I'm sorry, I've passed my bad luck on to you.
