"What do you want from me?"

After resting for a while, Suzuki Yusuke simply asked directly, "I don't recall ever having a murderer like this before, so the other party must have come looking for me."

"Hehe, I just came to test your skills," Xu Chengfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead. "The boss suddenly sent me to Japan, and that gentleman then asked me to come find you."

That gentleman!?

Yusuke Suzuki was completely dumbfounded and stammered, "You're a member of the organization?"

“Code name: Du Kang,” Xu Chengfeng laughed heartily, “Now you’re my superior.”

What the hell is going on?!

Is there such a person in the original storyline?

After a moment of contemplation, Yusuke Suzuki got up and left.

Something is wrong, so wrong.

If Dukang wine suddenly appears, could there be others?

"Where are you going?" Xu Chengfeng stood up, limping. "Wait for me."

The two returned to the Aoi-ya Inn, and it was evening by then.

Conan, who was talking to Ran Mouri, turned two shades pale when he saw Xu Chengfeng.

Men in black!

How come it seems like she knows Yusuke Suzuki?

"Eh? Yusuke-nii, who is this...?"

Ran Mouri noticed this and asked a question. Yusuke Suzuki, now calmer, smiled and introduced, "A friend I met by chance."

"My name is Xu Chengfeng."

"Are you Chinese?" Ran Mouri suddenly remembered that Qinglan Pusi had taught her how to pronounce her Chinese name before. "My name is... Ran Mouri."

Yusuke Suzuki could tell from Conan's expression that the guy was suspicious again, and this time he was right.

Thank goodness I didn't invite Ai Haibara along.

"What about the teacher?"

Yusuke Suzuki didn't notice the bumbling detective. Only after asking did he learn that his teacher had already sat down at the table with Misao Yamamura.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Kogoro Mouri drinking, with Misao Yamamura acting like a hostess, pouring drinks for him and drinking with him.

The two of them were surprisingly harmonious together at this moment.

"Yusuke, you're back," Kogoro Mouri said, his face flushed with wine. "Come on, let's have a drink. This place is really nice, hahaha."

After everyone took their seats, they inevitably had to introduce Xu Chengfeng, who had suddenly appeared. Fortunately, the ice-breaking process at the banquet was very efficient, and Xu Chengfeng successfully joined in no time.

Suzuki Yusuke had a good impression of Xu Chengfeng, after all, they were compatriots and he had a good feeling about the other party.

However, vigilance also followed.

Xu Chengfeng was sent directly to him by that gentleman. Once he got involved with that gentleman, things wouldn't be simple.

However, all he can do now is continue to observe and try to decipher the deeper meaning behind it.

Kogoro Mori quickly downed another large glass of sake, while Misao Yamamura complimented him, "Mr. Mori has quite the capacity for alcohol. It seems that the imposter is no match for him at all. We might just get to see some exciting deductions today."

It was only then that Yusuke Suzuki remembered there was an imposter Kogoro here. After asking Ran Mouri, he learned that the bumbling detective planned to cause trouble for the imposter when the time was right.

It seems highly likely that the imposter Kogoro is doomed.

After drinking for about two hours, Yamamura Misao couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep on the table. Mouri Kogoro opened the door and listened to the sounds outside.

"Shouldn't he start reasoning now?"

"I was about to confront him, but you stopped me," Ran Mouri said, already annoyed by the bumbling detective's excessive drinking, and now she was even angrier. "That imposter might have already escaped!"

“Don’t worry,” Conan said, glancing out the window before turning back. “It seems like no one has left this hotel yet.”

“It will be ready soon,” Xu Chengfeng stood up. He wasn’t very drunk yet. “I’ll take my leave now. I’ll drink with Mr. Maoli again next time I have the chance.”

"Where are you going so late?"

Kogoro Mouri muttered, "I'd rather stay and watch me expose that imposter's true colors."

"I only came along because we bumped into each other by chance; I have other things to do."

With that, Xu Chengfeng downed a glass of wine as an apology and left.

"Really..."

When Kogoro Mouri looked back, he realized that only Yusuke Suzuki was left to continue drinking with him. Come to think of it, he had never been able to outdrink his disciple before, and if they continued drinking, he would probably be the one to lose.

"In that case, I'll go and give that imposter a good scolding!"

"Brother Yusuke, aren't you going?"

Seeing that Suzuki Yusuke didn't move, Conan casually asked a question.

"I'll rest for a while."

Xu Chengfeng left suddenly without informing him beforehand, and he needs to think about it carefully now.

Just ten minutes later, two hotel staff members ran over, just as Yamamura Misao woke up.

"What happened?" Yamamura Misao yawned, puzzled as to why the two were in such a hurry.

"You don't know what happened yet?" Uragawa Eiji was extremely anxious. "Detective Mouri... he seems to have hanged himself in his room!"

Yamamura Misao: "???"

So sudden?

He sobered up considerably in an instant and caught up with the two people in front of him.

Upon seeing the imposter Kogoro's corpse, Yamamura Misao was completely stunned. "Mr. Mori, how did you become like this?" His voice trembled. "I never thought... that even tears could make people look crooked. How could you do such a foolish thing?"

"Kogoro, who was sleeping soundly, has passed away! What's wrong with you, Mr. Mori?!"

"What are you babbling about?" Kogoro Mouri walked up behind Misao Yamamura. "I've already tried my best to preserve the scene. You should call the police or forensic experts as soon as possible."

To everyone's surprise, Yamamura Misao turned around and exclaimed in horror, "A ghost!"

Mouri Kogoro: "..."

It seems like the headache is back again.

Chapter 132 Another case where the protagonist was forced to lose focus.

Meanwhile, Suzuki Yusuke received an email from Xu Chengfeng.

I'm back in Tokyo. That kid doesn't seem to like me much. —Dukang

【Understood - Grouse】

He put down his phone. Now he was alone in the room, and the thick smell of alcohol mixed with the smell of food in the air made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After resting with his eyes closed for a while, Yusuke Suzuki walked to the window and lit a cigarette.

Xu Chengfeng had previously mentioned the word "boss," which likely refers to the person in charge of the organization in China, whose position is similar to that of Gin in Japan.

Could it be a fake bar too?

Yusuke Suzuki wasn't sure and needed time to figure things out. For now, he should just stay calm, as he didn't have the right people to help him investigate.

He had initially thought that destroying the organization wouldn't be too difficult, and he was getting a little cocky, but Xu Chengfeng immediately brought him back to his senses.

The afternoon's battle made Suzuki Yusuke feel a sense of crisis. He had fought too many weaklings and had hardly ever fought against skilled opponents, so his combat experience was seriously lacking.

Given his physical attributes and reaction speed, it was quite difficult for him to take down Xu Chengfeng, and he was at a disadvantage several times, which was unacceptable to him.

Just then, Ran Mouri came over and said, "Yusuke-nii, aren't you going to check out the scene?"

Yusuke Suzuki instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he opened his mouth and froze, laughing, "It'll be over in a bit, I'm pretty much sober now."

Playing through the storyline is still important; reward points are a stable way for him to improve himself. The system also unlocked a new function before; will there be other functions later?

There should be, but it requires more reward points.

After waiting a moment, he looked at Ran Mouri and asked, "Why are you back? Is everything alright with the teacher?"

"I'm really scared..." Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment, her face still showing fear. "Yusuke-nii, do you believe in those curses?"

"Sometimes I believe."

Yusuke Suzuki dared not make any definitive statements, given the existence of people like Akako Koizumi.

A few minutes later, the two returned to the scene together. Ran Mouri said she was scared, but she still followed.

The two bumbling men were discussing the case, but Suzuki Yusuke didn't care about things like the long-haired man or what happened four years ago, since he didn't know much about it anyway.

It doesn't matter, it's just part of the plot, as long as the characters show up.

At this moment, Conan couldn't help but speak up, "This is a curse."

The two muddle-headed heroes looked over at the same time.

“Look for yourselves,” Conan said, touching the long hair in Yamamura Misao’s hand. “Not only is this hair all the same length, but there are also a few curly and dyed strands in it.”

And this hair is still a bit damp. It's been five years and it's still so damp. Isn't it some kind of curse?"

Kogoro Mouri's mouth dropped open. "No, I dare say this is definitely not that long-haired man's curse!"

Conan nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, indicating success!

"This is the result of that hippie who dyed and permed his hair dying with his eyes wide open." Kogoro Mouri looked at the fake Kogoro's corpse still hanging from the beam.

Conan: "..."

This is really too much to handle!

How can I remind you again?

Conan turned around and saw Suzuki Yusuke and Mouri Ran.

"Oh, right," Conan had a new idea, "Ran's hair was wet just now, wasn't it?"

“Of course,” Ran Mouri bent down, “because I just took a shower, don’t talk nonsense.”
