Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Thinking of this, Kogoro Mouri's mouth stretched from ear to ear.

Under Long Ye's suspicious gaze, he stepped forward and patted Long Ye on the shoulder, saying earnestly, "I'm entrusting Xiao Lan to you from now on. You must protect her well! When you're old enough, we must have a good drink together~"

Ryūno: "?"

Did this guy take the wrong medicine?

Ryūno looked at Kogoro Mouri with a bewildered expression, unsure of what to do.

What does this mean? Has Kogoro Mouri suddenly changed his attitude? How could his attitude change so quickly?

Xiaolan, even more embarrassed and angry, exclaimed, "Dad, what are you saying all of a sudden?!"

After the farce ended, Tatsuno rode his bicycle with Ran on the back, following behind Amuro Tooru's car.

When they stopped at the intersection, Ryūno asked, "Ran, what did you want to say to me when we were at the agency?"

"Hmm? Ah, I remember now! I have a feeling that the man in Ms. Kenzuka's phone wallpaper doesn't look like her brother, but more like..."

"More like her boyfriend, right?" Longye chuckled.

"Yeah! That's right! Eh? Ryūno, you feel the same way?" Rin asked in surprise.

“It’s not just me; Uncle Mori and the others also have some suspicions about Miss Kenzuka, which is why they’re planning to send her home.” Tatsuno nodded.

"Although it's just a suspicion, the man in the office was probably killed by Ms. Kenzuka."

"what?!"

……

Twenty minutes later, the group escorted Ms. Kenzuka to the apartment entrance.

Just as Ms. Kenzuka was politely preparing to see them off, Conan and Tooru Amuro suddenly "broke into" Ms. Kenzuka's apartment under the pretext of "borrowing the restroom."

Even Kogoro Mouri declared that he was about to burst.

As soon as they entered, everyone smelled a strange stench.

Upon smelling the scent, Conan and Amuro Tooru's expressions instantly changed.

Soon after, everyone followed Ms. Kenzuka into the living room.

Conan, under the pretext of going to the toilet, rushed into the bathroom and carefully examined the toiletries inside.

Seeing that Ryūno and the others were focused on the news on the TV, Ms. Kenzuka quietly went to the corridor, preparing to put on her shoes and run away.

Just then, a child's voice came from behind her: "Big sister, where are you going?"

Chapter 287 Please take a handsome photo

Upon seeing Conan behind her, Ms. Kenzuka's expression tightened, and she said nervously, "We've run out of tea leaves. I'll go to the nearby convenience store to buy some..."

"Then I'll go with you. I also have something I want to buy." Conan smiled slightly.

Ms. Kenzuka hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Alright, let's go together then."

Just then, Ryūno walked up behind the two, reached in and put a "black button" into Conan's pocket, then laughed and said, "You two should go and come back soon~ Conan, don't forget your toys~"

Conan gave Ryuno a deep look, then turned to look at Ms. Kenzuka, and nodded with a smile.

It seems that Takeda has also noticed the suspicious points about Ms. Kagetsuka!

Although I couldn't see it clearly, I could tell what he was putting into his pocket...

Seeing that Ryūno didn't stop her from leaving, Ms. Kenzuka secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After the two left, Ryūno returned to the living room and said casually, "Alright, now that Ms. Kenzuka has 'gone out shopping,' we should get moving too~"

"Operation? What operation?" Kogoro Mouri looked at Ryuno with a puzzled expression.

“Alright, Uncle Mori, I know you want to test Mr. Amuro. But I think he's already figured it out.” Tatsuno chuckled and looked at Amuro Tooru beside him.

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru's lips curled into a smile, and he shrugged, saying, "That's right, Mori-sensei. I've noticed that. I'll explain it to you from now on."

Maori Kogoro: “?”

Under Kogoro Mouri's blank stare, Tooru Amuro carefully explained his observations and suspicions about Ms. Kenzuka to everyone.

After saying this, he turned to Longye and said, "Why don't we find the 'corpse' first?"

Longye shook his head: "You and Uncle Mori can take care of finding the body and the bugging device. Ran and I will look for other evidence in the room. If possible, I don't want Ran to see 'that' twice in one day."

"Longye..."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but grab Longye's hand, a charming blush appearing on her face.

However, apart from Ran, neither Amuro Tooru nor Mouri Kogoro paid attention to the second half of Tatsuno's words.

Amuro Tooru was frowning as he pondered the "eavesdropping device" that Tatsuno had just mentioned.

Kogoro Mouri's brain was slightly malfunctioning as he kept replaying Amuro Tooru and Tatsuno's words in his mind.

What?! Ms. Kenzuka is lying?

Could she have killed the man in the office?!

Perhaps her true identity isn't Kei Kenzuka?!

There are still corpses in this apartment?!

This huge pile of random information made Kogoro Mouri fall into deep thought.

same moment

Ms. Kei Kenzuka was driving Conan along the road.

"Big sister, you have a driver's license!"

"Ah."

"But why didn't you show Inspector Megure your driver's license when he asked you for identification? Can't a driver's license be used as identification?" Conan blinked his bright eyes and asked.

"Haha, it's because the photo on my driver's license is really ugly, and I really don't want everyone to see it," Ms. Kenzuka replied with a smile, unhurriedly.

While driving, Ms. Kenzuka glanced at Conan and chuckled, "Compared to this, how about the juice that big sister recommended? This kind of juice is only sold in the vending machine we just saw!"

"Mmm! It's delicious~" Conan tilted his head back and took a sip of juice under Ms. Kenzuka's gaze.

Seeing that Conan actually drank the juice, Ms. Kenzuka turned her attention to what was in front of her with relief.

At that very moment, Conan quietly spat the juice in his mouth onto the ground, a slight smile playing on his lips.

……

ten minutes later

In Ms. Kenzuka's apartment.

Amuro Tooru has found several listening devices in the apartment, and Mouri Kogoro has found a suitcase containing the body of a mysterious man in the bedroom.

Having been mentally prepared, Kogoro Mouri was not frightened by the corpse in the suitcase.

He carefully examined the man and the suitcase, then exclaimed, "Amuro, there's a listening device in this suitcase too!"

"Okay, Mr. Mori, I'm coming right now," Amuro Tooru replied, who was checking the bathroom.

Shortly after, Kogoro Mouri and Tooru Amuro approached Tatsuno and Ran and asked, "So, how's your investigation going?"

Longye nodded and then pressed the TV remote control in his hand.

"Look, the entire video on this TV is about the bank robbery that happened a while ago. The owner of this house even edited and selected some of the videos."

Kogoro Mouri sat at the table and carefully watched the video recordings on the television.

The toiletries and clothing in the apartment all belonged to men, which means that this is definitely not Ms. Kenzuka's home.

Adding to the dead body inside the house and the videos on the television, even Kogoro Mouri realized that these people were definitely connected to the previous bank robbery.

After reaching their conclusion, Longye and the others went into the bedroom, trying to find clues and information on the computer there.

Soon after, to everyone's surprise, a criminal plan to rob the bank was found on the computer.

In this criminal plan document, the group even found photos of three robbers holding pistols and striking cool poses.

Of the three, two were people everyone had seen before.

One of them was the man who "committed suicide" by shooting himself in the office, and the other was the thin man in the suitcase.

At this moment, even the usually composed Amuro Tooru couldn't help but remark, "These three are incredibly audacious, taking photos like this before the robbery and even storing them on their computer..."

Longye squinted at the photos of the three people, puzzled.

These three people have such low IQs, yet they still managed to rob the money... Just how easy is it to rob a bank in Mikasa?

No wonder Ai's older sister is a bit addicted...

……

After seeing the photos of the three robbers, everyone learned about "Ms. Kenzuka's" purpose.

Her real name is not Kei Kenzuka. Kei Kenzuka is actually the name of the man who was killed in the agency, one of the three robbers.

Knowing these things, everything in the present moment becomes connected.

The man who was killed in the office was carrying so much loose change and banknotes in order to break open the serial numbered banknotes that he had stolen from the bank.

As for that key, it should be the key to the locker where they hid most of the stolen money.

No wonder the man on "Ms. Kenjiro's" phone wallpaper looked familiar. That man was Kenjiro Shono, the bank employee who was killed by the robbers in the bank robbery.

It now seems that person was "Ms. Kenzuka's" lover.

The reason "Ms. Kenzuka" stole the identity of the deceased man in the agency was to get rid of suspicion in a short time so that she could take the opportunity to avenge herself on the three robbers.

After learning about "Ms. Kenzuka's" purpose and the general course of events, Kogoro Mouri took out his phone to call Inspector Megure.

Just then, something suddenly occurred to him, and he asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, where did that brat Conan go?"

Chapter 288 What's meant to disappear will eventually disappear.

Normally, Conan would have been barking at him by now, right?

Why is this kid so quiet today?

“Uncle, he went out with ‘Miss Kenzuka’ a long time ago.” Ryūno wrote down the photo and address of the female robber on the computer.

Kogoro Mouri gaped, his eyes wide, and exclaimed, "Wait, what did you say?! That wretched brat!! 'Ms. Kenzuka' might be the murderer who killed those two robbers. What if he gets killed?!"
