Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 369: Pure Black Nightmare (Part 3)

"Yes," the mercenary nodded. "The high-ranking official was still in shock after the assassination attempt, so he asked someone from the Uriel family to prescribe some tranquilizers."

"The person who was called here is the 'Snow Country'?" Vermouth knew that the undertaker was a researcher from the Uriel family.

"No, that guy is Gat's father. He used some unknown means to transform that high-ranking official into a 'Sleeping Beauty.' The bodyguards checked all the medications and injections he was carrying but found nothing amiss. Ultimately, they could only conclude that the high-ranking official had developed some kind of mental illness after experiencing a major change."

Vermouth lifted a lock of her hair and twirled it around her hand, "Apparently, the Uriel family was still a vassal of the Melody family at this time."

"Helping the Melody family do these dirty work and silencing those who opposed them was the main job of the Uriel family at the time."

"Influenced by his father, Gat believed those who hesitated on the path of destiny would die with his own hands." The mercenary shielded his eyes from the sunlight streaming into the alley. "Perhaps Gat's greatest regret before his departure was not being able to personally apply your exquisite makeup."

Vermouth shuddered. "It's a good thing he's already reunited with his creations underground."

The mercenary, who had reached the end of the alley, looked at the amusement park across the way and grumbled, "I wonder if Curacao is visiting the aquarium? Rum is waiting for her follow-up information."

"Hahahaha, Rum doesn't like you anymore. I heard that you ate him up in one meal and made him go bankrupt." Vermouth couldn't help laughing.

"That stingy old man, didn't I just eat a little too much? I went there because his sushi was delicious. Really... he didn't take the opportunity to make money."

At the entrance of the amusement park, Conan and his friends met the little girl, who was accompanied by the novelist and the doctor (paper cutter).

The doctor's extremely fashionable dark green suit and sunglasses attracted the attention of the three little ones.

[Bartender: Haha, this outfit is really fashionable.]

[Artist: This is a rare and precious costume that is only available in Laobo.]

[Professor: It took a lot of effort for me to get new clothes. It was not easy at all.]

[Lame Sheep: I want new clothes too...]

[Shadow of Time and Space: Speaking of which, among the several people who came to the manor at the same time, only Fool's Gold had the Star of Performance skin.]

[Fool's Gold: Joy.]

[Novelist: Stop grinning like that and vote for me.]

[Reporter: It seems like there will be more seats this time, so more people should have a chance.]

"Wow, uncle, your clothes are so handsome!" The three little ones came up to the doctor.

The doctor coughed twice: "Because we are out for fun, little Alice said that I can't wear a white coat anymore..."

Conan showed half-moon eyes: "Anyway, it's too much to wear such a fashionable suit when going out to play."

"Isn't it enough that they are happy? You silly detective, you don't know how to appreciate things at all." Haibara Ai snorted at Conan with disdain.

The little girl waved and greeted the three little ones: "Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko, long time no see!"

The three little ones immediately gathered around the little girl and said, "We must have a good time this time!"

The three little ones clamored for Dr. Agasa to buy tickets for the amusement park and the aquarium, but Dr. Agasa decided to embarrass the children with a riddle.

"How about I give you a puzzle, and if you solve it, I'll buy both tickets?"

"Why is this happening?" Mitsuhiko was the first to pout.

Dr. Agasa proudly stated his puzzle: "There is a color that, if you keep stirring it, will turn into something else. Which of the following is this color?"

"A is red, B is blue, C is brown, and D is black."

Yuantai grabbed his head and thought hard: "Damn it, I have no idea at all!"

The little girl, intrigued by the puzzle, began to ponder. "Hmm... something to do with pigments and stirring... could it be those pigments made from ground ore?"

"In that case, red is vermilion and blue is iolite. No... the blue should be lapis lazuli, um..."

The novelist covered his head and said, "What on earth did Campbell teach you..."

[Explorer: Wouldn't it be good to learn a little more knowledge? This way you won't get scammed when buying jewelry in the future.]

[Entomologist: Campbell is right. Little Alice needs to raise her awareness of anti-fraud from a young age.]

[Reporter: I think it’s necessary too.]

[Novelist: All right.]

Conan saw the answer to the puzzle right away and said, "Doctor, you are too childish. The answer to this puzzle is very simple."

Huihara Ai also added: "Although the mineral pigments Alice mentioned are also related to stirring, but after all, Alice is not Japanese, so she probably doesn't understand these small details."

"Red, blue, brown, and black can be described as pure red or true red, pure blue or true blue, so brown is..."

After this almost explicit reminder, Ayumi suddenly understood: "Ah, tea color can be called matcha!"

"I see, matcha is indeed stirred in the cup all the time." Mitsuhiko nodded to show that he understood.

Only Yuan Tai was still confused: "Huh?"

The little girl scratched her head and said, "I see, I've never had matcha before."

[Red Butterfly: I can try the matcha and chocolate baguette.]

[Photographer: ??? This is heresy!!!]

[Jack: As long as it's edible, that's fine. You French guys are just being pretentious.]

[Photographer: Ghost!]

[Hitter: I think the xiaolongbao pizza is good too.]

[Professor: What pizza did you say?]

[Violinist: Aa ...

[Antique Dealer: Northern China does have a way of eating baked buns, so it's not that hard to accept...]

[Soul of the Umbrella (white): But Gangi, what's that white thing on the pizza?]

[Soul of the Umbrella (Black): Is it cheese? Why are there so many small pieces?]

[Hitter: Oh, that's pineapple rice.]

[Evil Lizard:?]

[Antique dealer:?]

[Soul of the Umbrella (white): Huh?]

[Soul of the Umbrella (Black): Hey! You evil demon, take my blow!]

[Forward: Huh? Ganji, if you don't want to eat, I'll eat it for you.]

After complaining that he would never allow professionals to participate in the competition next time, Dr. Agasa took the three laughing little ones to the ticket office to buy tickets. Of course, the novelist also went, because Dr. Agasa couldn't be the only one paying for everyone.

While the rest of the people were waiting there, Conan suddenly smelled the smell of gasoline. Looking towards the source of the smell, Curacao was sitting on a bench with a confused look on her face, and her broken cell phone was placed beside her.

"Big sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you here alone?" Conan walked over. "It seems you're not with your friends either."

"This elder sister seems to be injured, do you need help?" The little girl also took a few steps forward. "Wow, elder sister, your eyes are a different color."

Curacao still looked confused and couldn't answer any questions: "I'm sorry, I don't remember anything."
