Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Furthermore, from a time perspective, it would be difficult for his father to switch between these two roles.

Although he lost consciousness twice during the journey, he had a deep impression of each point in time.

He gets out of school around 4 p.m., and gets home, which is when he was kidnapped, around 4:30 p.m.

When he swam up from the sea and was "shot" by his father, the sky had only just begun to darken.

It was autumn then, and it wouldn't get dark until around 6:00 PM.

Since the sky was only slightly darkening, it meant it was not yet six o'clock, maybe around 5:30!

As far as he knew, the car first drove from the office to Professor Agasa's house, then to the hotel, and finally to the beach. The whole trip would take at least 50 minutes, and he would spend at least 10 minutes in the sea.

He then looked at his father's "Dark Baron" outfit. Although it looked ordinary on the outside, the connection between the lower and upper parts of the outfit was very intricate.

It would take at least twenty minutes to put on that outfit completely!

Therefore, even if Chivas really was his father in disguise, how did he manage to put on that "fussy actor's costume"?

There was absolutely no such time in between!!

Judging from his physique, that Chivas isn't a PhD either.

The logic is simple: it's easy for a thin person to disguise themselves as a fat person, but it's much harder for a fat person to disguise themselves as a thin person...

Therefore, that man in black is definitely not Professor Agasa!

But if it wasn't them, then who was the "Chivas" in disguise?

strangeness……

Completely baffled, Conan scratched his head in frustration. He decided to call his mother when he had time and ask her about it.

……

noon

Seeing the three of them finally emerge from a clothing store, Uncle Mori and Conan also sighed.

"I can't stand it! Why do women never stop when something like this happens? It's just..."

Just then, Xiaolan looked at him with a big smile on her face.

"dad?"

"Ahem, you've been shopping for so long, you must be hungry, right? Come on, it's on me today!"

Although Ran was smiling brightly, Uncle Mori clearly noticed her clenched fists and immediately gave a forced smile.

Seeing this, Xiaolan nodded in satisfaction, took a bag from Longye's hand, took Sonoko's arm, and happily walked ahead.

Only after the three of them had walked some distance did Uncle Mori whisper, "I really regret it. Why did I agree to let her learn karate..."

Conan, who was standing nearby, heard this and looked up at the seven or eight shopping bags in Tatsuno's hands. He nodded silently.

"As expected, women are the most troublesome thing..."

"I really don't understand why Ryūno wants to be in a relationship. Isn't deduction more interesting?"

Chapter 211 Arrest!

Soon after, the group left the mall.

Just then, Uncle Mori seemed to see something, and his expression gradually became lewd.

The next moment, he walked to the phone booth in front of him, picked up the pen on the ground, and ran towards the woman while waving his hand, exuding a "suspicious" aura.

"Miss, please wait! You've dropped something!"

At this moment, Longye and the others noticed a blonde woman wearing a pink down jacket on top and a mini skirt on the bottom, right in front of Uncle Mori.

After understanding her father's motives, Xiaolan's eyes immediately narrowed.

What if the woman in front of me gets scared by such a frivolous father hitting on her?!

Thinking of this, she handed the bag in her hand to Longye, preparing to stop her father's shameful behavior.

At this moment, Longye looked around and chuckled, "Xiaolan, wait a minute. It seems we don't need you to stop it."

"Huh? Why..."

Just then, Uncle Mori placed one of his hands on the woman's shoulder.

"boom!"

To Xiaolan and the others' astonishment, the petite woman grabbed Uncle Mori's hand, turned around, and kicked him, throwing him to the ground.

Before Xiaolan and the others could even understand what was happening, a loud shout suddenly came from under a nearby trash bag: "Action!!!"

The next second, several men rushed out from the alleys and cars parked on the street.

They pounced on him, using both hands and feet to subdue and beat the already fallen Mori uncle.

Uncle Mori: "???"

……

Not long after, at a pizza shop on the street.

Uncle Mori, his head covered in wounds, took a drag of his cigarette and slowly said, "So that's how it is. You were trying to lure the perpetrator of the 'serial assault on women' incident..."

"Yes, that's why Officer Sato dressed up like that, just to lure out the criminal."

Before Uncle Mori could continue his rant, Ran laughed and said, "I see, no wonder Inspector Megure and the others were here. We were quite surprised to see you all!"

"Long time no see! You guys are out shopping together~" Inspector Megure greeted Tatsuno and the others with a smile.

Before Longye and the other two could speak, Uncle Mori interrupted, "Hey, let's not talk about that! I remember you announced that the suspect's height was about 1.5 meters. Just by looking at my height, you should know that I'm not the criminal, right?!"

Upon hearing this, Officer Takagi smiled wryly and said, "But... Mr. Mori, your attitude towards Officer Sato really... doesn't seem to show any goodwill."

At this moment, Officer Sato, standing nearby, also covered his mouth sheepishly, saying, "I also think it's quite dangerous..."

Hearing this, Conan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahahaha!"

"boom!"

"what!!"

Seeing her father hit Conan on the head, Ran said disdainfully, "Tch~ It's clearly your fault, yet you're taking it out on a child."

"What did you say... uh..." Seeing the murderous intent in Ran's eyes, Uncle Mori swallowed back the words he was about to say.

At this moment, Inspector Megure, who was standing to the side, lowered his head and said, "Since this method is no longer working, we need to think of other methods..."

“Yes, all three women who were attacked were dressed very extravagantly at the time of the incident. Apart from that, they have nothing else in common.” Officer Takagi said thoughtfully, bowing his head.

At that moment, Inspector Megure looked at Kogoro Mouri and Tatsuno in front of him, and suddenly thought of something. He immediately said, "Takagi, take out their photos and let them see them too."

"Ok."

Officer Takagi immediately took out three photos from his pocket and began explaining them to Ryuno and the others.

"The first person attacked was Ms. Ryoko Mizutani. Two weeks ago, one evening, she was waiting at a red light at an intersection when the car behind her crashed into her. Just as she got out to argue with the attacker, she was beaten with a metal baseball bat. The second..."

With Officer Takagi's explanation, everyone understood the whole story.

Apart from Ryoko Mizutani, the other two were attacked in the phone booth. That's why Inspector Megure and his team were lying in ambush around the phone booth.

Instead of catching the criminal, they caught the lecherous Kogoro Mouri...

"So, have you found anything? Mori? Tatsuno, buddy?" Inspector Megure looked at Tatsuno and the others expectantly.

Seeing Inspector Megure's expectant gaze, Tatsuno twitched his lips speechlessly.

You're a police inspector! Instead of hoping others will make a discovery, you need to step up your game first!

Thinking of this, Ryūno glanced at Sonoko beside him and said, "Inspector Megure, the victim's shoes seem to be the same as Sonoko's, both being platform shoes. Although I don't know how you deduced the suspect's height, based on this alone, the suspect's actual height should be taller than 1.5 meters."

Upon hearing Ryūno's words, everyone couldn't help but look at Sonoko's shoes.

Officer Takagi immediately exclaimed, "That's right! These three also seem to be wearing platform shoes. In that case, their description of the criminal's height will definitely be lower!"

Having realized this, Inspector Megure and his team looked at Ryuno gratefully; Ryuno's reminder undoubtedly increased their chances of catching the criminal.

At that moment, Conan also spoke up: "Ah, ah~ the woman's accessories in the photo look just like Sonoko's!"

After hearing Conan's words, everyone looked at the accessories on Sonoko's hands. They discovered that, as Conan had said, the ring, necklace, and bracelet Sonoko was wearing were almost identical to those worn by the three victims.

Just as everyone was preparing to investigate further, Inspector Megure's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the number and immediately answered it.

"Hey...what?! I understand!"

Seeing Inspector Megure's expression instantly turn serious, everyone seemed to realize something and stared at him in silence.

"Just now, someone found a woman covered in blood in the underground parking lot of Beihu Shopping Mall!"

"!!!"

……

"The victim's name was Tae Aizawa, and she was 20 years old. She used to be a sales clerk at this department store, but was currently unemployed..."

After listening to Officer Takagi's explanation, Inspector Megure couldn't help but sigh: "He killed someone on his fourth attempt... Damn it!"

At this moment, Uncle Mori stepped forward and asked, "Inspector, can you confirm that it was the same criminal who committed the crime?"

"Yes, we haven't released the victims' characteristics, and this is the underground parking lot of that department store... These victims were all murdered in this area!"

After hearing Inspector Megure's words, everyone showed thoughtful expressions.

Indeed, it seems that the culprit is the same person.

After composing himself, Inspector Megure looked at the strangers behind Takagi and asked, "Takagi, who are these people?"

Chapter 212 The Lonely Kogoro?

Inspector Takagi leaned towards Inspector Megure and whispered, "The young man crying and screaming is the victim, Ms. Aizawa's, boyfriend. His name is Shirakawa Noriyuki. Apparently, he arranged to meet the deceased at this department store. Coincidentally, his father is the owner of this department store..."

At this point, Officer Takagi paused and gestured with his eyes, "Inspector, it's the middle-aged man in the green jacket to his left."

Before Inspector Megure could examine the situation closely, the mall owner complained to a man in a light gray uniform, "You committed this crime, didn't you? As far as I know, you were working as a security guard at our competitor's department store just six months ago. You didn't take bribes from them to sabotage our reputation, did you?!"

"I don't!"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing at the crime scene, Officer Takagi quickly stepped forward and pulled them apart.

The security guard's name was Yoshio Sadakane, and he was a security guard in the underground parking lot of the Beika Department Store. Before the incident, he left his post to go to the restroom.
