Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 104 The Resilient King: Masahiko Waki

That evening, at the Wawu Hotel.

Kyogoku Makoto chose to follow Teruyuki's advice and began to watch Sonoko's room for any unusual activity after she went downstairs.

Just as Michiwaki Masahiko crept along the balcony into Sonoko's room, Kyogoku Makoto immediately rushed out and pinned him to the ground.

Hearing the commotion upstairs, Conan immediately rushed up, and Sonoko followed closely behind.

Sonoko had just arrived when she saw Kyogoku Masahiko pinned down by Michiwaki Masahiko, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Michiwaki, what are you doing here? And why is this innkeeper hitting people?!"

When Michiwaki Masahiko saw Sonoko approaching, he immediately said, "I was planning to give you a surprise, but this guy suddenly rushed out and ambushed me. I don't know what happened!"

Upon hearing this, Makoto Kyogoku immediately said to Sonoko, "No, I'm protecting you."

Unfortunately, the tongue-tied Makoto Kyogoku couldn't out-argue Masahiko Michiwaki, so Sonoko pushed Makoto away and helped Masahiko up from the ground.

Just then, a fat man suddenly appeared outside the door. After entering the room, he immediately showed his detective ID, pointed at Masahiko Michiwaki, and said to everyone:
“This person is a murderer. I am Detective Shoji Terahayashi from the Chiba Prefectural Police Department. I have been watching this person for a long time.”

When Terahashi Shoji appeared, Kyogoku Makoto breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Teruyuki told him to find a witness, otherwise Michiwaki Masahiko might have twisted the truth.

After carefully examining the detective's ID, Sonoko looked shocked and said, "What? But, but why is he in my room?"

Conan thought for a moment and came to an answer, saying to Sonoko, "I think he probably heard you taking pictures everywhere when he committed the murder yesterday, and wanted to see if you had captured the process of the crime!"

Sonoko looked very shocked. "So, Mr. Michiwaki's purpose in approaching me was actually to kill me?"
"Hmph, hahahaha!" Seeing that the detective had appeared in front of him, Michiwaki Masahiko stopped explaining.

"Now that you've found out, I'm not going to keep acting. Blame it on your disgusting brown hair!"

After saying that, Michiwaki Masahiko drew his knife, preparing to take Sonoko hostage. Kyogoku Makoto, who had been observing Sonoko for a while, saw this and immediately rushed over, pulling Sonoko into his arms with one hand and grabbing the blade with his other hand.

Michiwaki Masahiko pressed down hard on the sword, but it wouldn't budge. He panicked for a moment, released the sword from his hand, and prepared to abandon it and run away.

The instant he released his blade, Kyogoku Makoto simultaneously released his own blade, and with his already injured hand, he made a fist and sent Michiwaki Masahiko flying, even smashing a hole in the wooden wall of the room.

Seeing Michiwaki Masahiko being knocked away, Kyogoku Makoto originally wanted to jump out of the hole and follow up to finish him off, but Sonoko grabbed his hand nervously.

"No, you're already injured! You can't chase after them by jumping from such a height!"

Seeing Sonoko's anxious expression, Kyogoku Makoto's dark face flushed slightly as he said, "It's alright, I'm sure he's more seriously injured than I am!"

Sonoko remained opposed, pulling Kyogoku Makoto along as they found a first-aid kit at the hotel. While bandaging Kyogoku's hand that had just blocked the blade, she said, "Do you even care about yourself? This isn't a competition where the one with the less severe injury wins!"

Upon hearing this, Makoto Kyogoku stared blankly at Sonoko, his heart churning, but he didn't know what to say.

Just then, Michiwaki Masahiko's shout came from outside the window again. Conan immediately pressed his face against the hole that Michiwaki Masahiko had just smashed open and looked out. He saw that Michiwaki Masahiko, who had just been knocked out, was being slammed to the ground by Kogoro Mouri with an over-the-shoulder throw.

……

the other side.

After the dinner, Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki parted on bad terms, neither willing to stay at the Queen Hotel in Izu with the other.

So, at Ai's suggestion, Eri took Keisuke and Ai away, intending to stay at the Wataya Inn with them for one night.

Kogoro Mouri was advised by Ran to go with her to find Sonoko, and to avoid living with Eri Kisaki, they also planned to go to the Kawaraya Inn.

Just like the plan Ai gave Ran, the two groups suddenly met halfway through their journey.

However, neither of them wanted to appear weak in front of the other, so they braced themselves and walked all the way down to the bottom of the hotel.

Just as the group arrived near the hotel, Masahiko Michiwaki, who had been knocked away, suddenly flew towards Eri Kisaki.

Just as Masahiko Michiwaki was about to crash into Eri Kisaki, Kogoro Mouri decisively stepped in front of her. The moment he made contact with Masahiko, he instinctively used his most proficient over-the-shoulder throw to toss him away.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's swift movements, Ran covered her mouth in surprise, and even Ai looked astonished.

It wasn't until Masahiko Michiwaki cried out that Eri Kisaki realized what had just happened. Looking at Kogoro Mouri standing in front of her, a renewed urge to get back together rekindled in her heart.

Before she could speak, Kogoro Mouri picked his nose and said, "Looks like some people are really careless! So careless, I don't know how they became lawyers?"

Upon hearing this, Eri's initial excitement immediately turned into a chill.

"Dad, what are you saying!" Ran felt a wave of despair. The atmosphere had been so nice just now, but then Kogoro Mouri suddenly said something like that.

After being knocked away and landing on the ground, Sonoko and the others rushed over. Sonoko, who had just witnessed Kogoro Mouri's actions, exclaimed in amazement, "That guy was really cool just now!"

Not long after Ran called the police, Inspector Yokomizo arrived and said to Kogoro Mouri, "Even without having been to the crime scene, you were able to accurately identify the culprit. You truly deserve to be called the famous detective Kogoro Mouri!"

After handcuffing Masahiko Michiwaki, the police woke him up. Masahiko looked at Sonoko and Eri Kisaki and said through gritted teeth, "You brown-haired people deserve to die!"

Huijie looked at Michiwaki Masahiko in surprise. This guy is really tough! First, he was beaten up by Kyogoku Makoto, then he fell down the stairs and was thrown over the shoulder by Mouri Kogoro. Anyone else would have been unconscious by now, but he recovered so quickly.

Upon hearing Masahiko Michiwaki's words, Makoto Kyogoku immediately looked over with a sharp gaze, while Kogoro Mouri, though silent, also looked over with a serious expression.

Sensing the look in their eyes, Masahiko Michiwaki suddenly shivered, dared not continue speaking, and obediently followed the police into the car.
