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

Chapter 130 Passionate Shiro Suzuki

After half an hour.

As Keisuke listened to Inspector Megure's warnings, the experienced Keisuke had already cleared his mind, letting Inspector Megure's words go in one ear and out the other.

Ai, who was standing next to him, did not have such an experience. She knew that Inspector Megure meant well, so at first she listened attentively to what Inspector Megure said and nodded from time to time, giving Inspector Megure some feedback.

As time went by, Ai realized that Inspector Megure still showed no signs of stopping, leaving her somewhat speechless.

Looking at Hui Jie, she found that he had already drifted off into his own world. Seeing this empty shell of a person standing there, Ai couldn't help but show a resentful look in her eyes.

You see, the reason Ai is standing here is because when she saw Keisuke fire the gun, she thought she would share the hardships with Keisuke, but now it seems like she's the only one being punished.

Thinking of this, Ai gently poked Keisuke's waist, then quickly withdrew her finger, putting on an indifferent expression and pretending that she hadn't done anything.

Hui noticed Ai's movements, but did not react. He simply calmed himself down and quietly focused his attention on Ai.

Seeing that Keisuke didn't react, Ai puffed out her cheeks, glanced at Inspector Megure who was still lecturing, and poked Keisuke's waist again.

This time, however, Keisuke grabbed Ai's finger the moment she poked him, then stared at Ai's slightly angry face with a smile, without saying a word.

She's so beautiful!
Ai looked at Keisuke, puzzled, and stared back at him. However, under Keisuke's adoring gaze, Ai couldn't hold out for long before giving in. She blushed, withdrew her fingers, and stopped looking at Keisuke.

Then, her gaze drifted to Inspector Megure, who was still rambling on and on. After a moment of preparation, Ai lowered her head and began to wipe away her tears, whispering, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for causing trouble for you officers!"

Upon hearing Ai's sobbing voice, Inspector Megure's body stiffened instantly.

Oh no! I accidentally used the tone of my boss scolding me, forgetting that there were only two elementary school students in front of me.

Seeing Ai's extremely aggrieved expression, Inspector Megure broke out in a cold sweat. He reached out his hand in a fluster, unsure of what to do, and could only say helplessly, "Actually, it's not that serious. In fact, we should thank you!"

Then, looking flustered, Inspector Megure thought for a moment, grabbed two chocolates from Inspector Chiba's desk, and handed them to Keisuke and Ai, saying with a smile, "Don't cry, Uncle will treat you to some candy!"

Seeing Inspector Megure's kind and animated expression as he tried to make Ai laugh, Keisuke turned to Ai, winked, and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

"Thank you!" Fortunately, Ai hadn't intended to make things difficult for Inspector Megure. Seeing Keisuke's actions next to Inspector Megure, she immediately stopped crying, put on a cold face, and nodded politely.

"Um... okay, that's all I wanted to say." Looking at Ai's natural composure, Inspector Megure felt like he'd been emotionally deceived, but without any evidence, he smiled awkwardly, said nothing more, and led the two to find Eri and her group.

Watching Inspector Megure's retreating figure, Keisuke leaned over and kissed Ai, saying with a smile, "As expected of Ai, you really came in handy!"

Ai gave a soft snort, nudged Keisuke with her shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Honestly, don't you know the place?" Hearing this, Keisuke looked up and glanced around at the large group of single police officers, revealing a kind smile, and then kissed Ai again.

This action successfully caused the surrounding police officers to change their expressions, their originally slightly congratulatory smiles turning into a vicious, sour look of disgust.

"That brat!"
Seeing this, a cheerful Keisuke smiled, grabbed Ai's hand, and led her out of the Metropolitan Police Department building.

"Okay!" Sonoko stood at the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department, watching Keisuke and the others who had just come out. She put one hand on her hip, snapped her fingers, and said happily, "Okay, now it's time to go to my house. Uncle Mori and Aunt Eri, come along too!"

Upon hearing Sonoko's words, Kogoro Mouri was the first to ask, "Wouldn't it be troublesome if we came along too?"

Sonoko waved her hand, took out her phone, and showed her chat history with Shiro Suzuki, saying, "It's okay. My dad specifically told me that if possible, he would take you to our Suzuki family's private residence."

“I won’t…” Eri Kisaki, who was originally about to refuse, paused slightly when she heard Kogoro Mouri use the word “we”. Then, Ran pulled and dragged her into the car that Sonoko had prepared.

Conan's lips twitched at the sight. Ran really doesn't miss any opportunity!

……

The Suzuki House.

"Oh, Detective Mouri, you've arrived!" Upon seeing Kogoro Mouri and his group, Shiro Suzuki immediately came over and shook Kogoro Mouri's hand, warmly welcoming him.

"Oh, no, I should be thanking Chairman Suzuki for his help! Hahaha..." Kogoro Mouri suddenly stood at attention, then slapped the back of his head and laughed.

Upon hearing this, Shiro Suzuki shook his head repeatedly, looked at Teruyuki and Ai, and said with a smile, "It's me! Those two kids were just trying to help me, which is why this happened!"

"..."

After several rounds of pleasantries, Shiro Suzuki pulled Kogoro Mori aside and said to Tomoko Suzuki, who was wondering why no one had come into the house yet and decided to go out to check, "Tomoko, my friend Mori and I hit it off immediately. Let's open a few bottles of good wine to celebrate our friendship!"

"Husband!" Tomoko Suzuki looked at Shiro Suzuki with a hint of helplessness. Only now did she understand why Shiro Suzuki had specifically told Sonoko to remember to invite Kogoro Mouri over as well.

So that's what he wanted—to find someone to drink with!
But considering that they were in front of outsiders, she couldn't refuse Suzuki Shiro's request, so she could only nod helplessly and say, "Remember not to drink too much. Ms. Kosaka Natsumi will be coming over this afternoon to discuss the Egg of Memories!"

"That's great," Suzuki Shiro said with some surprise, but remembering that his drinking buddies were still nearby, he put on an air of complete control and said, "Ahem, I mean, don't worry! I know what I'm doing!"

"You'd better really know your limits!" Suzuki Tomoko thought to herself, then shook her head. After sending a few maids to fetch some wine, she and Suzuki Shiro led Teruyuki and his group into the house.
