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

Chapter 136 Oolong Incident
After Sonoko led everyone to the Suzuki family's basement, she sighed with some worry and said, "What should we do! Seriously, I just told my parents about my relationship with Makoto, and this happens. How unlucky!"

Conan sensed something was amiss when he heard Sonoko's words, but as he tried to grasp that glimmer of inspiration, he couldn't recall anything. He frowned and said, "How strange. What kind of stupid thug would dare to provoke the Suzuki Group?"

"Perhaps it's because of the Grim Reaper's aura!" Facing this unprecedented new event, Huijie also paid considerable attention, glanced at Conan, and gave what he thought was the most likely answer.

"You bastard..." But considering that it was Keisuke who was speaking, and that he was in a bad situation, Conan decided not to argue with him and walked out on his own.

Seeing that Conan didn't continue to be stubborn this time, Huijie narrowed his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

Recalling the scene where Ai seemed to be about to say something to him, but was interrupted by Sonoko and didn't get to say it, Keisuke carefully considered whether anything had happened recently that made Conan silent and Ai hesitant.

"I wonder what the situation is like outside?" Xiaolan's face was full of worry. She wanted to call Kogoro Mouri to check on the situation, but she was afraid that making a call might accidentally affect them.

Sonoko sighed and gripped her and Makoto Kyogoku's shared cell phone tightly. "I don't know either. Dad just told us to hide here. If they really break in, there's a secret passage leading out."

Sonoko is unaware that all of this is because she rarely contacts Kyogoku Makoto using her personal communication device, causing him to overthink and mistakenly believe that Sonoko was asking for help, leading to this misunderstanding.

……

While Sonoko and the others were filled with worry, Inspector Megure and his men had already used infrared devices to pinpoint Suzuki Shiro's location and made a direct and swift breakthrough.

The moment he entered the room, Inspector Megure pointed his gun at the "kidnapper" standing next to Shiro Suzuki, whom he had scanned earlier.

"Don't move! I'm from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division... Mr. Mori?"

"Inspector Megure? What are you doing here?"

Suddenly, Inspector Megure's previously serious eyes widened, then filled with confusion as he stared blankly at Kogoro Mouri and Shiro Suzuki in front of him.

In the end, it was Kogoro Mouri who broke the deadlock. Looking at Inspector Megure who barged into the house, he was quite pleased, since he had once been a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, and said, "Inspector Megure, you've already subdued all the thugs outside!"

"..."

Kogoro Mouri seemed to realize something, his previously playful expression gradually stiffening. He asked Inspector Megure with some uncertainty, "You subdued the thugs before you came in, right?"

"..." Kogoro Mouri's expression was strange, but before he could ask a question, he saw Officer Takagi come to Inspector Megure's side with a heavy expression and report: "It's bad, Inspector Megure, those thugs may have known about our intelligence in advance, so they withdrew. The group of people we were facing just now were actually Suzuki family bodyguards!"

Listening to Officer Takagi's report, Inspector Megure wished he could disappear into the ground. He now fully understood that the suspicious group Suzuki Shiro had mentioned were clearly police officers who had been lurking here before!
The thought that the Metropolitan Police Department, which is supposed to be responsible for protecting citizens' safety, was being treated as a suspect and even had its house attacked by someone else made Inspector Megure cover his face and pray that it was all a dream.

Seeing Inspector Megure covering his face and looking sullen, Kogoro Mouri couldn't hold back for a moment. He looked at Inspector Megure with a puzzled expression and asked, "Could it be that you're finding your work at the Metropolitan Police Department too tiring and are looking for a chance to relax?"

Seeing Suzuki Shiro's pale face, Inspector Megure adjusted his hat, gritted his teeth, and said, "Here's what happened: we received a message from someone claiming to be Sonoko's boyfriend..."

"...The final result is just as you saw, Chairman."

Upon hearing Inspector Megure's words, Suzuki Shiro frowned and asked with some doubt, "Wait, didn't Kyogoku Makoto call you afterwards to explain the situation?"

Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Shiro Suzuki immediately name Makoto Kyogoku, but he still gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction and said with a sigh, "We didn't receive such news. In fact, we called Mr. Kyogoku not long ago, and he sounded even more anxious then."

"He said he had already booked a flight back to Japan that day, saying that he had made an agreement with Sonoko that he had to go there when Sonoko was in danger. But judging from his tone and itinerary, no one doubted that he was telling the truth!"

The harsh words Suzuki Tomoko had said to Kyogoku Makoto involuntarily came to mind, and for a moment I felt a little ashamed. Not to mention Kyogoku Makoto, as long as Sonoko didn't give an answer, it would be easy for her to misunderstand Suzuki Tomoko's meaning.

Thinking of this, Suzuki Shiro's originally angry expression revealed a hint of guilt.

After all, the cause of this incident was that Suzuki Tomoko didn't explain things clearly at the time and insisted on making a ritualistic trial. However, she obviously didn't expect Kyogoku Makoto to be such a sharp-eyed and reckless man who directly chose to call the police and was even prepared to kill him offline!
"Hehe, haha, hahaha!" Suzuki Shiro suddenly burst into laughter. "Speaking of which, I've never quite understood why my cousin Jirokichi is so keen on exploring and adventuring around the world."

"But now I can understand a little better. Today's interesting events are probably the most precious and unforgettable day of my life, and likely until the end of my life!"

After saying that, he poured himself a glass of wine, raised it, and drank it down heartily.

"Hahaha!" Inspector Megure didn't know what to say, so he could only awkwardly force a smile.

Suddenly, Shiro Suzuki frowned, feeling as if he had forgotten something. It wasn't until he inadvertently saw his wedding photo with Tomoko Suzuki that he suddenly realized what he needed to do.

So Suzuki Shiro turned to Inspector Megure, his expression not very pleasant, and asked, "Wait a minute, you said that Kyogoku Makoto will be coming to Japan this afternoon? Then I need to hurry up and tell Sonoko!"

Shiro Suzuki suddenly realized that Makoto Kyogoku was still kept in the dark and no one had told him the truth. What if Makoto Kyogoku heard Tomoko Suzuki's voice that afternoon and, in a moment of impulse, didn't control his strength and caused something bad to happen to Tomoko?
