Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

“He has lived in various countries and speaks several languages. He is currently helping my father with foreign trade-related matters.”

Chapter 113 Playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong

Amid the conversation of Longye and the others

The car has arrived at our destination – the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art.

After getting off the bus, everyone saw countless police officers.

They were fully armed and constantly patrolled the surrounding area.

This scene put immense psychological pressure on Kogoro Mouri.

Although he had served in the Fire Investigation Division 2 and the Investigation Division 1, neither of them had this many police officers.

Unfortunately, the Second Investigation Division is mainly responsible for intelligent crimes such as fraud and corporate crime.

We don't handle many cases on a regular basis.

Therefore, although the number of officers in the Second Investigation Division and the First Investigation Division is roughly the same.

However, during the execution of the mission, the Second Investigation Division was clearly able to mobilize more police force.

What's more... so many police officers are concentrated near the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art.

Looking at the densely packed police officers in front of him, even Uncle Mori, who had once been a police officer, felt a bit of pressure.

Furthermore, because the police received assistance from the Suzuki family, police helicopters were constantly circling overhead.

Once one helicopter runs out of fuel, another helicopter immediately flies in.

Nobody even considered the fuel cost.

Seeing this scene, Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaim, "The security is too tight!"

Even Ai Haibara looked at the helicopter in the sky and nodded subconsciously.

Just then, a motorcycle stopped in front of them.

On the motorcycle, a man wearing a helmet slowly spoke:

"Of course, after all, the opponent is that elusive and shape-shifting master thief! No matter how tight the security, no matter how secure the vault, he can miraculously and quickly break through. He's also a master of disguise, able to perfectly imitate both voice and appearance!"

After speaking, the man took off his helmet and looked at Ryuno and Conan with a flirtatious expression.

"This time we've really run into some trouble~"

Upon seeing the man's face, Uncle Mori couldn't help but exclaim, "It's you again?"

"What do you mean, 'old man'? Have you forgotten? This is Osaka!"

As soon as Hattori Heiji finished speaking, the girl behind him retorted, "You don't need to pay attention to him, he's just an idiot."

"Early this morning, he kept shouting that Kudo was coming, Kudo was coming!"

"Kudo is coming?"

Upon hearing the name Kudo, Conan's face twitched slightly.

Ai Haibara, standing to the side, looked on with a reminiscing expression, then glanced at Conan with a look of surprise and doubt.

Longye took in the whole scene and shook his head helplessly.

Conan has always loved to self-destruct.

Given Ai Haibara's intelligence, it was only a matter of time before she discovered that Conan had a problem.

In this situation, Hattori Heiji actually provided an assist.

All I can say is, they truly are the kind of people who can become best buddies.

……

Looking at the unfamiliar girl who was bickering with Hattori Heiji, Uncle Mori asked in confusion, "Who is she?"

"Her name is Kazuha, Toyama Kazuha. She's kind of my childhood friend."

No sooner had Hattori Heiji finished speaking than Toyama Kazuha roared, "Heiji! What do you mean by 'consider'?!"

Seeing the two arguing, Xiaolan tugged at Longye's sleeve and whispered, "I think there's definitely something going on between them~"

Upon hearing this, Longye nodded.

Sonoko glanced at Hattori Heiji a few times and then whispered, "Ran, Tatsuno, this is the high school detective you were talking about before, right?"

"Yes, that's right. He is... Heiji Hattori," Ryuno confirmed.

Soon after, everyone greeted each other and walked into the museum together.

A moment later, everyone took the elevator and arrived at the president's office.

Inside the room, Shiro Suzuki was talking to a guest.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri and his group walk out of the elevator, he immediately stood up and walked over.

"Oh, Mr. Mori! Thank you for coming all this way!"

"It's nothing, it's what I should do!"

After they finished speaking, the two shook hands.

After shaking hands, Shiro Suzuki spotted a familiar face in the crowd, laughed twice, and walked over.

"Isn't this Longye! It's been so long!"

"You haven't visited our home in a long time. Sonoko and Ayako keep talking about you!"

"Oh, by the way~ I'll let you in on a secret. I searched all my friends and finally managed to buy the video of your karate tournament match!"

"When you have time, you must come to our home as a guest, so we can admire your performance in the competition together!"

Ryūno: ? ? ?

Upon hearing this, Longye's lips twitched, unsure how to respond.

That's why he rarely went to the Suzuki's house.

Although he and Ran were often invited by the Suzuki family, Tatsuno never went more than a few times.

Every time I visit Sonoko's house, only Sonoko's eyes seem relatively normal.

The way her sister and parents looked at her always made Longye feel strange, even uncomfortable.

Although he already knew that Shiro Suzuki was a fighting fan, he didn't expect that Ayako Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki were also obsessed with fighting.

Every time he went there, these people would grab him and bombard him with questions, causing him immense suffering.

Seeing Ryūno's speechless expression and glancing at the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Sonoko immediately stepped forward to explain, "My dad is a fighting game fanatic. He especially admires those who are very strong..."

After hearing Sonoko's words, Suzuki Shiro's guests and Toyama Kazuha, who was new to the place, were still completely confused.

As the chairman of the Suzuki Group, how could he be so... attentive to a young boy!?

It's just a fight, isn't it?

How powerful can this young man be?

Is it worth Chairman Suzuki's attention?

However, after hearing Sonoko's words, Heiji Hattori and Conan simply closed their eyes and nodded, realizing that's how it is.

Ask yourselves honestly, if they were fighting game fans instead of mystery fans...

After seeing a "monster" like Ryūno in person, I'll definitely become like him too!

With a dry laugh from Longye, the topic finally came to an end.

Shiro Suzuki also noticed Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama behind the group.

"Sonoko, who are these two?"

"They are Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama. Heiji Hattori is a famous high school detective in the Kansai region."

Upon hearing this, Shiro Suzuki immediately replied, "That's great, I'll leave it to you this time!"

"Okay! Leave it to us!"

"..."

After greeting Ryūno and the others, Suzuki Shirō turned around and introduced his guests.

"This is Siryuv Chinnikov, First Secretary of the Embassy of Mauritius."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall man stood up and greeted the crowd.

"Who is this…"

Through Suzuki Shiro's introduction, Tatsuno also learned the identities of the others.

Art dealer Mr. Inui Shoichi, Romanov dynasty researcher Ms. Pu Siqinglan, and a freelance photographer Mr. Hanchuan Long.

When introducing Pu Siqinglan, Longye looked at her deeply for a few moments, secretly sentencing her to death.

The reason is simple: when Shiro Suzuki introduced her, she greeted everyone in broken Chinese.

Her broken Chinese immediately made Longye understand her intention and reminded him of her purpose.

"Trying to pull this on me, huh!?"

……

Chapter 114 What you see as a treasure is nothing more than a childhood toy for me.

After the lengthy introduction, Kogoro Mouri immediately got to the point.

"Chairman Suzuki, what is the appraised value of this art dealer?"

Before Chairman Suzuki could speak, art dealer Inui answered directly, "Eight hundred million yen."

"What?!" Upon hearing the art dealer's exorbitant price, Kogoro Mouri nearly bit his tongue.

At this moment, the art dealer looked at Shiro Suzuki and spoke again, "You know, if you're willing to sell, I can raise the price."

Upon hearing this, the Maoist secretary immediately interjected, "Chairman! This was originally a work of art from our country. Rather than selling it to such unscrupulous merchants, it would be better to donate it to our country!"

"Although I can't give you cash, I will definitely persuade my superiors to provide you with business conveniences!"
