One minute later, the dust settled.

Conan apologized to Eisuke Hondo, but he also gained hair.

Hondo Eisuke was so inexperienced that he didn't notice the problem at all.

After discussing with the police, Kogoro Mouri went together to arrest the suspect, and the whole process took less than an hour.

On the way back, Hondo Eisuke continued to probe Kogoro Mouri, hoping to get information about Rena Mizunashi.

Yusuke Suzuki returned to his apartment alone to prepare for the main storyline of the new day.

Chapter 893 Self-defeating

As for why some preparation was necessary... it's because Yusuke Suzuki felt he didn't have a suitable starting point.

Given his public persona, it's only possible for him to visit a detective agency on his own initiative; he can't keep going there all the time.

I really have to thank Chris Jean.

If she hadn't suddenly pulled this stunt, Conan wouldn't have immediately raised his guard to the highest level against Hondo Eisuke.

Therefore, Yusuke Suzuki was unable to give a statement such as "Eisuke Hondo may have been wiretapped".

Under this premise, Yusuke Suzuki could go to the detective agency under the pretext of being wary of Vermouth, or he could use the pretext of eliminating wiretapping.

After returning to the apartment building.

Yusuke Suzuki first went to the monitoring room next door to check on the condition of the plant shells.

The plant shell remained unchanged, lying there peacefully.

The equipment is being shipped from the United States to Japan, and a large number of experiments are waiting for him to conduct.

The equipment was purchased under the name of a Hawaii-based technology company, so it will have to pass through a third party in Hawaii, which will slow things down the process.

But Suzuki Yusuke wasn't in a hurry, since he hadn't finished supplementing his knowledge.

If he had been a diligent person from the beginning, his research results might have already been published by now.

But there's nothing I can do; that's just my personality.

The night passed by in a hurry.

The next day.

As usual, Yusuke Suzuki got up very early.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

February was still very cold.

After downing a cup of black coffee, Yusuke Suzuki went out for his morning exercise.

I've been eating more and exercising less lately, and I've also had a long period of irregular sleep patterns and staying up late, which has caused my body fat percentage to increase. I need to work on it.

The winter morning was gray and hazy, with a faint mist and frost.

Today, February 5th, is a weekend, so there were still quite a few people out for their morning exercise.

As he ran, Yusuke Suzuki suddenly noticed a familiar figure on the side of the street.

Isn't this Hondo Eisuke?

Judging from the direction they were heading... they were probably heading towards the detective agency.

Yusuke Suzuki stopped and took out his phone to send a message.

He sent Conan a text message directly.

[It seems that Eisuke Hondo is going to the agency.]

It's only around 6 a.m., I wonder if Conan is awake yet.

As it turns out, Conan was awake.

[Really? Also, are you spying on him?]

Sorry, I never spy on anyone.

Yusuke Suzuki put his phone back in his pocket and continued running, replying by blind typing using telekinesis.

We just happened to meet during my morning run.

...

the other side.

Conan rubbed his sleepy eyes and fell into a daze.

He glanced at the half-dark sky outside the window, then at his pajamas.

His friends had been jogging for ages, but he'd only just woken up!

This is the gap!

Conan ripped off his nightcap, roused himself, and got up to wash.

After finishing, he began to think about how to deal with the possible visit of Hondo Eisuke today.

It's unrealistic to prevent them from coming.

Even if he dared to voice such thoughts, Ran Mouri would definitely give him a verbal lecture.

Moreover, in doing so, he himself ends up being the one to reveal his hand first, which is a losing proposition.

So... let's just deal with it as it comes.

As long as the older men don't let the other side lead them by the nose and say whatever comes to mind, that's fine.

The first thing he can do now is to take the uncle and the others out so that Hondo Eisuke won't be able to find them.

Just do it!

Conan got dressed and quickly went upstairs.

Ran Mouri was already up; he didn't need to call her.

Without hesitation, he began to plead, "Sister Xiaolan, let's have breakfast outside today, and Uncle and Auntie can come along too, okay?"

Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sure, Mom has some things to take care of this morning anyway, she should be up soon."

Do we have to wait?

Conan chased after her relentlessly, then turned and ran away, saying, "Then I'll go and wake Auntie up quickly. Ms. Kobayashi said the best way to avoid being late is to leave as early as possible."

"This child...why is he so enthusiastic today...?"

Ran Mouri watched Conan's retreating figure, muttered something under her breath, and went back inside to get her coat.

Fifteen minutes later.

Kogoro Mouri sat on the sofa, feeling like he was dying.

The angrier he got, the more he grabbed Conan and punched him hard. "What are you yelling about so early in the morning!"

Last night, he was forced to transfer his energy to that old woman because of her unreasonable request to "keep his energy up for work".

I'm exhausted, and I still haven't been able to sleep in.

“Dad, Conan is just worried that Mom will be late for work this morning.” Ran Mouri thought Conan’s reasoning was perfectly reasonable and began to protect her son.

Kogoro Mouri continued grumbling, "If we're this age, we should still be separated. Ah... I'm so sleepy, I'm going back to sleep."

Before he could even get up, Eri Kisaki, who had finished dressing and grooming, pressed him back onto the sofa, and then dressed him in new clothes to go out.

Conan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Although he was scolded and beaten, his plan was... um!?

isn't it?

His gaze extended forward.

Ran Mouri has already opened the door.

Standing outside the door was none other than Hondo Eisuke!

"Oh, Mr. Mori, are you heading out?"

Hondo Eisuke had just arrived. He had sent a text message to Mouri Ran half an hour ago, but had not received a reply. Adhering to the principle of better to miss an opportunity than to let it go, he still came.

Upon hearing this, Conan rushed over in a flash. "Yeah, yeah, we need to go outside... um... the Elf Tree Cafe."

Kogoro Mori raised his hand and slammed the hammer down again, muttering, "Why go so far? Poirot downstairs is fine."

Conan: "..."

Okay, the plan succeeded, but only halfway.

And it seems he's even working for Hondo Eisuke.

If it weren't for his meddling, the old man might not even be up yet, and naturally there would be no need for him to receive Hondo Eisuke.

It backfired...

Conan sighed silently, forced to accept reality.

Come downstairs.

Eri Kisaki didn't linger; she was decisive and efficient at work, so she ate something quickly and left.

Before leaving, she would pat Ran Mouri's head and give the bumbling detective some instructions.

This warmth allows Ran Mouri to feel cozy even in winter.

This is one of the reasons why she now allows classmates other than Sonoko Suzuki to come to her house to play often.

She had no choice but to hide her broken family.

It's different now.

She now has a complete family, just like everyone else.

I won't flaunt it, but I certainly won't be stingy.

She can now entrust her family to others with peace of mind.
