Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

"Haha! Please have a seat! You're all here, why did you bring any gifts?"

After he finished speaking, he stood up, patted Longye on the shoulder, and laughed a few times.

After laughing, he immediately picked up the liquor gift box on the table and took out the liquor with a big smile.

Seeing this, Xiaolan sighed helplessly, loosened her fists, and slowly walked to Longye's side, looking at him apologetically.

Longye smiled and patted Xiaolan's hand without saying anything.

He was already familiar with Kogoro Mouri's personality.

To be honest, Uncle Mori's personality gives people a very bad first impression.

But after getting to know them for a while, you'll find that this kind of straightforward person is much better than those who are two-faced.

Moreover, this Mori uncle is no ordinary person; at least he doesn't seem as 'confused' as he appears.

Whenever his family and bottom line are involved, he immediately transforms, demonstrating strong initiative and wisdom, becoming a reliable guy.

"Hello? I see your door is open. I'd like to ask you to help me investigate something."

Just then, a beautiful woman in a white coat walked into the office.

Upon seeing the woman's face, Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened, and he instantly appeared in front of her.

"Beautiful lady, I don't know how I can help you~"

The speed was so fast that even Longye and Xiaolan were amazed.

Ryūno and Rin: "..."

……

A moment later, the woman sat on the sofa, took a photo out of her pocket, and handed it to Kogoro Mouri.

The photo shows her with a man.

After listening to the woman's general description, Kogoro Mouri said dejectedly, "So, you're going to investigate your husband's affair?"

“That’s right. Although he has always denied it, his behavior is really suspicious. This morning I even smelled a woman’s perfume in his car,” the woman said, looking down.

"What is your husband's occupation?"

Currently unemployed...

"Is that so? I understand! Then let's go to the bathhouse where you last saw your husband and investigate!" Kogoro Mouri slapped his thigh and stood up.

"I understand." Seeing how decisive Kogoro Mouri was, the woman immediately nodded in gratitude.

Just then, Kogoro Mouri's lips curled up slightly, revealing what he considered an incredibly handsome smile: "By the way, after we finish our investigation, would you like to find a place to eat with me?"

--"boom!"

--"ah!!!"

Xiao Lan, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back and punished her father with an iron fist.

Seeing this, Longye shook his head helplessly.

Sometimes he really wondered if Uncle Mori was smart or stupid.

Just as Longye was complaining, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

—A text message from Shinichi Kudo

Longye glanced at his phone screen and blinked in confusion.

This guy rarely texts me; he usually just calls me.

It seems... something must have happened.

The next moment, Longye opened the text message.

Upon seeing the contents of the text message, Longye's lips curled up slightly, confirming his guess.

The text message from Shinichi Kudo was brief: "Tatsuno-nii, I ran into an older brother I know at the bathhouse. I'm going to have dinner with him now, don't worry."

Upon seeing this inexplicable text message, Ryūno knew perfectly well that Conan had encountered some 'interesting thing' again.

Putting aside the content of the text message, this text message was sent from 'Shinichi Kudo's' mobile phone number.

Chapter 362 The World of Detective Conan: Only Coincidences

Conan was driven by two men to an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.

In addition to the two men in the car, there was also an elderly man with white hair in the warehouse.

The white-haired old man glanced at Conan, who was fast asleep on the sofa, and turned to say, "That's a strong sleeping pill. This child won't wake up for quite a while."

After speaking, the old man slowly walked behind him, gazing at the two men beside the table.

"Yes, I've already texted that kid's 'Longye-nii' (Brother Longye), so there's no need to worry for now."

"That kid's memory seems a bit muddled too. If only he could just forget it all!"

The man named Achen chuckled as he drank his beer.

The man who had been driving looked at the old man and asked suspiciously, "You must be 'A-Wan from the key shop,' right? What are you doing here, you expert in breaking and entering?"

When the man in front of him called out his nickname, the old man shrank back. "I was just called here to unlock this warehouse and prepare strong sleeping pills."

After saying that, the old man immediately turned around and said in a panic, "Now that I've completed my task, I'll be leaving!"

Just as the old man was about to leave, Ah Chen, who was standing nearby, spoke up to stop him, saying, "How can that be?"

The old man immediately turned to look at Ah Chen, "Why?!"

"I don't know either, but I received a text message that told us to knock the kid unconscious and wait here." Ah Chen took out his phone and said jokingly.

The old man glanced reluctantly at the warehouse door, but ultimately gave up on the idea of ​​escaping.

Seeing the old man return to his original spot, Ah Chen looked at the man driving the car beside him and said, "I think you're just like us, wondering who you're following orders to do things, right?"

"I just received a call from them requesting my services," the man said casually.

Upon hearing this, Ah Chen chuckled a few times. "A commission? I don't think that can be considered a commission. Do you have any leverage over them?"

"In short, obedience is the best policy. After navigating this world for so many years, my intuition has always been quite sharp. Whoever is threatening us, that person is definitely an extremely terrifying individual..."

Upon hearing this, both the man and the elderly man nearby fell silent.

Since that person has already caught them red-handed, there's no point in them escaping.

……

same moment

Longye and his group went to investigate near the bathhouse not far from the agency, but there was no trace of the client's husband in the vicinity.

After wandering around for a while, Longye went to the front desk of the bathhouse and asked the staff if anything strange had happened that day.

On their way to the bathhouse, Kogoro Mouri casually mentioned that Conan had also recently visited the bathhouse.

Recalling the text message he had received earlier, Longye blinked.

The client's husband used to work at the bathhouse, and Conan also used to work at the bathhouse...

Although these two things seem unrelated, this is the world of Detective Conan.

After Tatsuno asked the question, the staff told him about what had happened not long ago.

—'A little boy fell in the bathtub and was driven to the hospital by an older boy he knew.'

After receiving this information, Longye shook his head helplessly.

Case solved.

It seems that the text message I just received was from the person who 'took' Conan away.

Although I don't know why it was sent to me, this matter is most likely related to 'Detective Conan'.

Maybe this kid specifically mentioned me before he was kidnapped.

After leaving the bathhouse, Ryuno glanced at his client standing with Kogoro Mouri. He felt that everything that was happening was somewhat familiar.

To prevent her 'father' from doing anything to betray her mother, Ran keeps a close eye on Kogoro Mouri to prevent him from 'making a move' against his clients.

Since they found no clues related to the client's husband at the bathhouse, at the client's suggestion, the group went to a building.

"Is this the building where your husband used to work? It looks very high-end, and the rent must have been expensive!" Kogoro Mouri looked up at the building and analyzed.

"Yes, but he said he was going to move out of here a long time ago," the client explained as he entered the access code.

“He used to run a ‘jack-of-all-trades’ shop here. It seems there are a lot of things that need to be taken care of, and it’s still not all sorted out.”

After everyone got into the elevator, Kogoro Mouri remarked, "Even the elevator looks so luxurious... It seems this building is a perfect place for having an affair."

"Dad!" Xiao Lan frowned immediately when she saw her father say such things in front of the client.

For a moment, Longye was also filled with emotion.

Putting aside whether Uncle Mori is intelligent or not, what's wrong with his emotional intelligence?

Could it be that Conan passed on his emotional intelligence to Uncle Mori?

The client is investigating whether her husband is having an affair; the matter is still unresolved, and you're already saying things like that.

Isn't this just deliberately making things difficult for the client?

Sure enough, the client's mood noticeably dropped after hearing Kogoro Mouri's words.

Under Ran's disapproving gaze, Kogoro Mouri scratched his head sheepishly and apologized to his client.

After a while, the group arrived at the office door.

Just as the client reached into his bag to take out his keys, Longye simply reached out and opened the door.

"There was no one inside, but the door wasn't locked."

“That’s strange, my husband isn’t usually this careless…” The client frowned slightly.

After turning on the indoor lights, Kogoro Mouri carefully checked each room, but found nothing.

Not to mention evidence of 'affair,' they couldn't even find any information about the client's husband's job.

Kogoro Mouri lit a cigarette on the spot, squinted, and said, "Speaking of which, is the Yorozuya really that profitable? They can afford to rent such a luxurious place..."

Just as Kogoro Mouri was about to give up, Tatsuno had already led Ran into the 'secret room'.
