Yusuke Suzuki gathered his thoughts, and Wataru Takagi finished his live broadcast.

"This amount..."

Sato Miwako frowned after hearing this. "Isn't that a bit too little? It's not normal for a kidnapping case."

"Perhaps the investigation revealed that this family only had this much financial strength."

Kogoro Mouri replied, walked to the balcony and looked down, "The house isn't too messy, there are no signs of a struggle, and the door lock is intact."

"It must have been done by the person who delivered the combat cards to Kota."

He turned to look at Masafumi Emoto, "Do you have any clues?"

Conan then added in a cute tone, "There's usually someone home at this time. The culprit probably knew that Emoto-neechan wasn't home today, so he came over, right?"

Having been repeatedly reprimanded by Yusuke Suzuki, Conan now calls any young woman he meets "sister," which sounds quite pleasant.

The bumbling detective slapped his forehead. "That's right. In that case, the culprit might be Mr. Emoto's friend. Otherwise, there's no reason why he would know that Miss Aya would be attending a social gathering tonight."

Upon hearing this, Masafumi Emoto frowned. "I did contact three friends beforehand, but none of them came today. They shouldn't have kidnapped Kota..."

"Please tell us the detailed information about those three people!"

At this point, Sato Miwako, posing as a police officer, took over the conversation, almost ready to pull out her identification.

Seeing her serious expression, Masafumi Emoto didn't dare to dawdle and began to explain the situation.

Two weeks ago.

At 12:10 pm, he called Liutian Zhuoer to invite her to a social gathering.

Around 5 p.m., he called Yinwumencheng to invite him to a social gathering.

At 19:00 PM, he called Yoshikane Satsuka to invite him to a mixer.

A very standard three-choice question.

Yusuke Suzuki remembered that before he came over, Masafumi Emoto had mentioned that when Kota was eating cake at that house, the landline went into auto-voice mode, and the voice on the other end was his, but he hadn't asked Kota about the exact time.

Kota returned at 8 p.m. that day, which covered the entire time period.

That's quite a big heart.

They've practically stripped the family of all their savings, and they still don't care.

But in the world of Detective Conan, you have to be understanding of these inexplicable and outrageous behaviors.

After careful consideration, Suzuki Yusuke realized that this clue was only enough to identify the suspect, not the perpetrator.

"Since my friends are all so suspicious, why don't we just go and check it out?"

At this moment, Masafumi Emoto got up and opened the door. "They all said they had something to do at home today, so they couldn't come."

Miwako Sato and Takagi will definitely be going, as will Kogoro Mouri and Conan.

But Yusuke Suzuki...

"Yusuke, you can stay here."

Before he could decide whether to go, Kogoro Mouri spoke first. He glanced at Aya Emoto, whose face was full of worry, and said, "You and Miss Emoto wait together and see if Kota comes back on his own. If the prisoner comes, you can also protect Miss Emoto."

Conan, standing to the side, gave a sullen smile.

Uncle, you really know this guy well.

But is it really okay to let him continue to be lazy like this?

Unfortunately, he couldn't speak and could only follow Kogoro Mouri as they left.

Just take care of yourself; being able to participate in the case is already a very good result.

The people inside hurriedly left, and in an instant, only Suzuki Yusuke and Emoto Aya remained.

"Um... Mr. Suzuki... if you want something to drink, just take it from the refrigerator."

Jiang Bencai remained seated on the sofa, looking worried and concerned. "I'm really not in the mood to entertain you right now, I'm sorry."

"It's ok."

Yusuke Suzuki said no more, and took out a bottle of peach juice from the refrigerator. It was a large-capacity, pure squeezed juice, perfect for children.

Although he was dressed in all black, Emoto Aya felt quite safe seeing him walking around the house, since they hadn't just met.

Young, handsome, refined, and wealthy, he is truly irresistible. It's just a pity that she is a bit older and her own conditions are not that good.

Emoto Sayaka thought about it haphazardly for a moment, but her worries about Kota were not significantly reduced.

"If anything were to happen to Kota..."

She sighed, looking like she was about to cry.

Yusuke Suzuki could only offer words of comfort, "Don't worry, with the famous detective Kogoro Mouri around, Kota will definitely come back safely."

That's the truth.

No child has ever gotten into trouble in any of the Conan cases.

If the victim is a child, the case will most likely have a happy ending.

Just as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

Jiang Bencai's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly ran towards the door and opened it, neglecting to perform any basic safety procedures.

Upon seeing who was entering through the door, her expectant gaze was once again dashed.

"Miss Emoto, where are my father and the others?"

Ran Mouri peeked into the room from outside the door, only to find Yusuke Suzuki.

"The teachers went to visit the suspect."

Yusuke Suzuki gave Ran Mouri a look, and she understood, helping Aya Emoto into the house.

Ai Haibara has also arrived.

She glanced at Suzuki Yusuke with amusement, as if to say, "Hmph, Yusuke, a man and a woman alone in a room, I finally caught you, didn't I?"

Chapter 764 We're All Thinking About Poseidon Island

That little look left Suzuki Yusuke speechless.

No, you're actually quite happy when I'm with other women?

Okay, he can understand.

Ai Haibara believed in him, and he always kept to his duty.

So this situation won't make Ai Haibara angry or complain; instead, it will make her choose to laugh.

After entering the house, Ai Haibara jumped onto the sofa and sat down, tidying her hair at her temples. "Ran and I came over after taking Yumi home."

"What about Officer Chiba? Did you abandon him?"

Yusuke Suzuki was slightly surprised; neither of them were the type to discriminate.

Hearing this, Ran Mouri rolled her eyes. "How could that be? Officer Chiba only sat for a while before he sobered up a bit. He even said he'd come back later."

That's it...

Doing something naughty with Ai Haibara in front of Ran Mouri and Sayaka Emoto might summon Inspector Megure.

Meanwhile, Ran Mouri was with Aya Emoto.

Yusuke Suzuki was speechless for a moment, and simply sat quietly to one side.

Ai Haibara, who shares the same mentality as him, is the same.

The couple immediately fell into a state of 'idleness' and began to drift off into daydreams.

Yusuke Suzuki was thinking about the plot of "The Azure Mansion".

This theatrical film isn't particularly good at mystery, and if we're ranking the worst Conan theatrical films of all time, it's definitely in the top three.

But it also has its own advantages, namely the sisterly bond between Sonoko and Ran.

Moreover, the overall storyline has a natural feel, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Whether you're involved in any plot or not, it's all the same. Of course, it's better to be involved in a scenic and relaxing place.

But there is still a problem here.

Does this movie arrive before or after Shinichi Kudo's return?

Before the incident occurred today, Conan had already asked Ai Haibara for the antidote and received a positive response from his wife.

Yusuke Suzuki was fairly accepting of this.

After all, Shinichi Kudo is the chosen one of the world. He won't die or be paralyzed, so there's nothing wrong with trying the antidote. In any case, this kid is quite happy with the antidote.

The only problem is that if Conan enters the movie as Shinichi Kudo this time, he might have to manipulate the news coverage afterwards.

Otherwise, if he reported to Lao Bi Deng, "Don't worry, everything is normal, Lao Mao has not made any unusual moves," the organization would immediately learn of Kudo Shinichi's appearance.

Wouldn't that expose him immediately?

Shinichi Kudo is, after all, on the APTX-4869 death list, and now the organization is also focusing some of its attention on Kogoro Mouri, so we have to be careful.

Beside him, Ai Haibara was also thinking about "The Azure Mansion".

Of course, all she knew was that she had to go to Poseidon Island.

Please, with Yusuke around, solving puzzles is no obstacle at all.

Kogoro Mouri absolutely must visit Poseidon Island!

So, Kudo, just wait. We'll give you the antidote whenever we set off.

To accompany Ran Mouri on a trip as Shinichi Kudo—that's a perfect opportunity, isn't it?

Go and be with your Ran when the time comes, and don't bother me and Yusuke.

As for the children... let Professor Agasa handle them.

There's nothing to worry about with the only one left, Uncle Mori, who cares about nothing but drinking.

Should we ask Yusuke to invite Sonoko along as well?
