The world of science is unscientific

The atmosphere remained somewhat heavy.

Kogoro Mouri and his daughter stared at Eri Kisaki with half-moon eyes, saying nothing and just watching quietly.

“I’ve already made myself very clear! A few of us lawyers just happened to come to Karuizawa for a visit.” Faced with the two men’s gazes, Eri Kisaki felt she couldn’t explain herself.

"So, who did you buy that tie for?"

Jealousy from the famous detective +1.

"Well... a friend of mine asked me to buy it, so I asked him to help me choose the color, right?"

The tension from the queen of the legal profession +1.

"Making friends out of thin air".

One more sarcastic remark from onlookers.

Eh?

"Something out of nothing... Yusuke-nii, what does this mean?" Ran Mouri asked in confusion, and the others also looked at him.

"The gist of it is that if you do something you don't want to admit, you just make up a friend who doesn't exist and say that the friend did it."

Yusuke Suzuki explained slowly, taking a sip of orange juice as he did so.

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki's face immediately turned red. "Yu...Yusuke, what strange things are you saying, child?"

Seeing his teacher's wife's reaction, Suzuki Yusuke smiled and stopped talking. The couple were both very proud and aloof. He guessed that Kogoro Mouri understood what Eri Kisaki meant, and there was no need for him to interfere.

Saku Nori met Kisaki Eri's pleading gaze and teased, "So that's how it is. I thought you were going to buy it as a gift for me."

"Saku, don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing that Eri's face was already red, Hoji Saku laughed mischievously.

"You're not a little girl anymore, is it that hard to choose a tie?" Kogoro Mouri leaned back strategically.

"That's right, do you have a problem with that?" Eri Kisaki coldly retorted.

Just then, another beautiful woman wearing a pink bow-tie tube top came over.

"Miss Ritsuko?"

Eri Kisaki was somewhat surprised and looked up at Ritsuko Usui.

"I never thought that the top-notch court queen would become an ordinary person in front of her husband." Ritsuko Usui leaned forward slightly.

Seeing Conan and Ran's puzzled look, she continued to explain, "Haven't you heard? Attorney Kisaki's imposing presence in court is truly awe-inspiring."

Coupled with her exceptional debating skills, which could easily overwhelm the presiding judge, everyone privately calls her the Queen of the Legal World.

Eri Kisaki, who had just calmed down, blushed again upon hearing this.

Today, the teacher's wife really changed her usual image. Suzuki Yusuke watched for a while, then got up and left to go to the restroom.

When they returned, there were two more men with them.

four people?

There probably won't be any more people coming over, so in that case, we should first choose one of the four victims, and then choose the murderer from the remaining three.

This topic is truly a classic in "Detective Conan".

However, we haven't seen anyone look like they're about to die yet, but it shouldn't be later than tonight.

The group chatted for a while longer, then Saku Hoji looked at Kisaki Eri helplessly and said, "Stop trying to be strong. Every time Mr. Mori solves a case, you meticulously make clippings. Do you think I don't know that?"

“Mom is just like Dad,” Ran Mouri said happily. “Dad is too. Whenever a case that Mom was in charge of is published in the newspaper, he would secretly get up in the middle of the night to read it.”

The two old, proud couple started denying it again, and the air was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Yusuke Suzuki suggested that his master and mistress take a break tonight and use the opportunity to have a good drink with everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ran Mouri gave him an admiring look.

night.

Yusuke Suzuki deliberately sat between Kogoro Mouri and Ritsuko Usui, knowing what his teacher was like when drunk, and was taking precautions in advance.

Unexpectedly, even with such a large, living person between them, Kogoro Mouri still couldn't shake his lecherous nature.

He playfully walked past Suzuki Yusuke and looked at Usui Ritsuko with a lovesick expression, saying, "If I'm in trouble, you must use your sweet voice to defend me."

"You really do love to joke, Mr. Mori."

“I’m telling the truth,” Kogoro Mouri said, grabbing Ritsuko Usui’s hand again. “Ritsuko, your hands are so small and cute.”

......

This put Suzuki Yusuke in a difficult position, as he was forced to lean back and watch up close as the lecherous old man gave a live demonstration of how to flirt.

Just as Ran Mouri interrupted, Yusuke Suzuki slipped out. There was no way to fix it; that's just how perverted detectives are, they can't change.

Eri Kisaki got up and left silently, and Ran Mouri chased after her.

Yusuke Suzuki naturally wouldn't eavesdrop on the mother and daughter's conversation. He went outside to smoke, while also harboring some suspicions.

Although Ritsuko Usui had also been drinking, she wasn't drunk enough to act recklessly. Keep in mind that Eri, the wife of the deceased, was present. Yet, she allowed Kogoro Mouri to say such explicit things to her and even let him take advantage of her.

Even if she is a free spirit, Eri Kisaki is her senior. Isn't Ritsuko Usui worried at all that this might lead to her senior's suppression?

Putting all that aside, Ritsuko Usui's behavior is worth pondering; perhaps she is the culprit in this case.

While Suzuki Yusuke was smoking and thinking, Mouri Ran learned from Kisaki Eri that tomorrow was her parents' wedding anniversary, and that the tie she was wearing was also bought to give to Mouri Kogoro.

After smoking two cigarettes, Suzuki Yusuke happened to run into a mother and daughter who were coming over together.

"Madam, the teacher..."

Yusuke Suzuki wanted to say a few more words in defense of the bumbling detective, but Eri Kisaki interrupted him with a smile, "I know, that's how that old man is when he's drunk. Yusuke, let's go back."

When they returned, the scene was deserted, except for Conan who was still waiting there.

"Has everyone gone back to their rooms?"

“Yes,” Conan nodded, “Uncle Mori said he’s drunk, so he’s going back to his room to sleep.”

"Mom, Dad has gone back to his room," Ran Mouri happily hugged Eri Kisaki's arm. "You have to do your best!"

Yusuke Suzuki: "..."

The way you put it, it's no wonder I misunderstood.

After half an hour.

The four of them stood in front of Ritsuko Usui's room and rang the doorbell. There was nothing they could do; Kogoro Mouri wasn't in his room, and the others weren't there either, so they had to come to Ritsuko Usui's room to look for him.

Yusuke Suzuki felt a chill run down his spine; would his teacher really go this far?

After only a couple of breaths, Ritsuko Usui opened the door, somewhat surprised, and said, "Attorney Kisaki?"

"I'm sorry to bother you so late. I wonder if my husband came to your place?"

Ritsuko Usui gripped the door and glanced back instinctively. "He didn't come here. Did something happen?"

“We can’t find my dad,” Ran Mouri explained. “He’s not in our room, nor in the other three people’s room.”

"Given his personality, he might be out wandering around somewhere now," Eri said, stroking her chin, before leading the group away.

Chapter 83's judgment was wrong.

Not long after leaving, Suzuki Yusuke thought for a moment and then spoke up, "Judging from Ritsuko's little actions and micro-expressions just now, the teacher is most likely in her room."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with some curiosity, he had no choice but to continue explaining, "After Ms. Ritsuko opened the door, she kept gripping it, which shows that she was very concerned about us going in directly."

When the teacher's wife mentioned the teacher, she subconsciously turned around to look.

As he spoke, Yusuke Suzuki looked at Ran Mouri and said, "Ran, for example, if I lost a pen and asked you if you had seen it, what would you do? If you didn't have a pen."

"I would... I should just answer directly and then ask in return to help find it together."

"What if you actually took that pen?"

Hearing this, Ran Mouri suddenly realized, "Oh right, if I took the pen and Yusuke asked, I would subconsciously check if the pen was still there."

"In that case, let's go back," Conan suggested.

However, just to be on the safe side, Eri Kisaki first went to find the other three lawyers to explain that Kogoro Mouri had not yet returned, and then they went together to Ritsuko Usui's room to look for him.

“It’s already 2 a.m., and his room is on the same floor as Ms. Ritsuko’s. They clearly went back to their room just now.” Attorney Shiozawa yawned, looking extremely sleepy.

"Oh dear, this sign wasn't up when I came here?" Conan said, pointing to the 'Do Not Disturb' plastic sign on Ritsuko Usui's door.

While the group was discussing, Eri Kisaki took out her phone and made a call.

Soon, the telephone rang in Ritsuko Usui's room.

"Mikasa, could you please go and get the spare key?"

At that moment, Eri Kisaki's aura was fully unleashed, and lawyer Mikasa immediately ran to get the keys, while the others fell silent.

Twenty minutes later, the police arrived.

Yusuke Suzuki never expected that Ritsuko Usui was the victim and not the murderer; he made a mistake in his judgment!

This case is another classic locked-room mystery. The room door was locked, and there was also a chain lock inside, providing double security. Usui Ritsuko was strangled with a telephone cord, and her body was right next to the bed.

As for Kogoro Mouri, he had only been awake for a short time and was still in a daze.

Currently, Kogoro Mouri, who is in the locked room, is the most suspicious.

“Then, I’ll repeat it again,” Yamamura Misao said, looking at Eri Kisaki with a small notebook in hand, “After you discovered your husband was missing, you suspected he might be in this guest room…”

On the other side, Suzuki Yusuke had already finished looking at the body and the scene with Conan, and he glanced at Yamamura Misao secretly.

It's quite absurd that this guy could become a police inspector; he's practically the Kogoro Mouri of the police force.

Of course, this only applies to the bumbling detective of today, not to Kogoro Mouri, who was a capable police officer back then.

After Yamamura finished recounting the events, he poked his cheek with the cap of his pen and said, "In that case, I regret to say that the murderer is probably your husband."

"What is this?" Ran Mouri exclaimed, looking at Kogoro Mouri. "Dad, don't just stand there like that. At least say something."

At this moment, Yamamura Misao exclaimed in surprise, "You wouldn't happen to be Kogoro Mouri, would you?"

After receiving a response, he excitedly stepped forward. "With you, the renowned detective, here, I feel much more at ease. Could you please tell me your thoughts on this case as soon as possible?"
