Chapter 542 Pager

"That's really boring." Even Genta looked bored, obviously dissatisfied with Miss Aki's answer.

Conan, however, breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "It's great that nothing serious happened."

Sawaha once complained about Conan, saying that he was a guy who only caused trouble all day long and would cause trouble wherever he went.

Conan was very dissatisfied and refuted Ze Yu's statement.

However, Conan is not stupid. He thought about it carefully and found that what Xiaoyu said did make sense.

Because there are so many cases happening around Conan, one every few days.

So, even though Conan refuted Ze Yu openly, in fact, he still felt a little guilty in his heart.

After all, that's the fact, wherever Conan goes, there will be a case.

He is simply a moving troublemaker.

Although all detectives in the Conan world have this attribute and most cases occur around the detectives, the frequency of cases occurring around Conan is definitely much higher than that of other detectives.

Conan himself knows this.

So tonight, when he was heading towards the TV station, he seriously considered whether he would encounter another case.

However, now it seems that this will obviously not happen, which makes Conan put down the heavy stone in his heart. While he breathes a sigh of relief, he also feels fortunate.

"I told you, Xiaoyu must be talking nonsense. How could I possibly get into trouble?"

"Those cases happened around me by chance and had nothing to do with me."

"To be honest, they should be thanking me for helping them solve the case."

Conan thought so.

However, he was obviously happy too early.

Since Conan appears here, the occurrence of the case is definitely inevitable.

At this moment, a "beep beep" sound came from Conan's body.

Conan lowered his head and took out a small object that looked a bit like a game console from his pocket.

"What is this?" Ayumi asked curiously.

"This is a portable 'CALL machine'. Sister Xiaolan was afraid that I would get lost, so she gave me this thing so I can keep in touch." Conan replied.

CALL machines, also known as 'pagers', are very popular in this era, but in the near future, they will be completely replaced by mobile phones.

"By the way, Conan." Ze Yu suddenly asked, "Didn't I give you a mobile phone last time? Why are you still using this antique?"

"Oh, you mean the phone without buttons?" Conan said with a look of regret: "I accidentally broke it yesterday."

Speaking of that mobile phone, Conan felt a pang of heartache. After all, compared with the pagers and keypad phones on the market, the touch-screen phone that Ze Yu gave him was simply a groundbreaking product.

Conan likes it very much.

However, compared with pagers and keypad phones, the biggest disadvantage of touch-screen phones is that they are relatively fragile and easily broken.

Pagers and keypad phones are both very sturdy items and difficult to break, and Conan is used to using them.

He suddenly changed to a touch-screen phone, but his habits did not adapt. He still retained his previous habits and did not take good care of his phone.

So, due to an accident, the touch-screen phone was accidentally broken by Conan.

Because it happened just yesterday, Conan remembered it very clearly. "Oh..." Ze Yu had a smiling face, his eyes narrowed into slits, but he exuded a chilling aura.

"Conan, you broke the thing I gave you?" Ze Yu said with a smile.

Conan couldn't help but shudder. He felt that something was wrong.

"Xiao Yu, I really didn't mean it..." Conan argued in a low voice.

"It's okay." The smile on Ze Yu's face did not change at all, but he restrained the dangerous aura.

Ze Yu patted Conan's shoulder and said gently: "When we get back, I'll give you a new phone."

"Now, go give Sister Xiaolan a call and see what she wants from you."

Conan looked at Ze Yu's expression seriously, and for a moment, he couldn't figure out what the other party meant.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Conan didn't waste time. He walked aside obediently and called Xiaolan.

The call was quickly connected, and Xiaolan's voice came over: "Conan, where are you?"

"All seven of us, the Junior Detective Team, are at the TV station," Conan replied.

"I understand. Remember to go home early at night." Xiaolan reminded.

"Yeah." Conan responded, then hung up the phone and returned to everyone.

"Little boy." Aki lowered her head, looked at Conan, and asked with a smile: "Can you tell me your pager number?"

"If I have something urgent to entrust to your Junior Detective Team, I can contact you."

"Okay." Conan picked up his pager: "The number is on it."

Aki nodded, wrote down the number on the pager, and handed it back to Conan.

At this moment, Ze Yu smiled sweetly, took out a card and handed it to Aki.

"Sister, this card is for you." Ze Yu smiled gently and said, "Although it's not a valuable thing, it can be considered a meeting gift."

"Oh? Thank you so much, little friend." Aki also smiled gently and took the card.

I saw that there was a cute golden furry creature on this card, and it looked like... a mouse?

Actually, it's a squirrel.

Aki didn't quite understand, but she didn't ask. She happily put the card into her chest pocket and kept it carefully close to her body.

"Did you know that even though a pager can only transmit numbers, different combinations of numbers can express completely different meanings?"

Aki smiled and started chatting with the young detective team in front of her, but she was called away by a phone call just halfway through the conversation.

Before leaving, Aki handed the Junior Detective Team over to another male colleague to entertain, and then left.

The male colleague took everyone in the Junior Detective League into a greenhouse. They stayed in the greenhouse for an hour but never waited for Aki to come back.

Just when Genta was getting impatient, Tsukumo walked into the greenhouse and called for people to drive the Boy Detective Team away.

Before leaving, everyone learned from the arrogant lady that Aki had been hiding because of intimidation and threats from others.

As for tonight's "News City", due to the disappearance of the signature announcer Aki, she was replaced by the former announcer, Tsukumo.
