Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

A moment later, Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sweetly, "That's great! Don't do dangerous things like breaking knives anymore. Luckily, your hand wasn't hurt!"

Mumu Police Department: "..."

Conan: "..."

The female host and others watching: "..."

……

Half an hour later, Ryūno and the others returned to the office with Mōri Kōrō.

To celebrate her father's success in solving the case and turning public opinion around, Xiaolan decides to throw a small 'celebration party' at the law firm.

At Tatsuno's suggestion, the two went out and bought some pizzas and sushi from a nearby store.

When the two of them returned, they found Uncle Mori asleep on the sofa.

The table was covered with empty beer cans.

Ran sighed helplessly, then looked at Conan beside her and asked, "Conan, why is Dad drunk again?"

Conan chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head sheepishly. "I tried to stop Uncle... but he said it was so great to solve the case so smoothly, he had to have a drink..."

Longye and Xiaolan exchanged a helpless glance and smiled.

Drinking when you're sad, drinking when you're happy... You haven't changed your ways, have you?

……

the other side.

Inside the Beido Town Organization Base.

Amuro Tooru looked down at the wine glass in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly.

This morning, Rum suddenly sent him a text message, asking him to go to the organization's base in Beika Town on time.

Although he had often received orders from Rum before, this order was clearly different from the previous ones.

This was the first time Rum had given him such a 'specific' order.

Sure enough... Rum is here...

Thinking of this, Amuro Tooru glanced at the gray goose and Gil not far away.

Why did Rum suddenly return while Gin and his friends were abroad, and why did he order them to come here...?

Just then, a faint electrical hum suddenly came from the speaker in the room.

Upon hearing this noise, Amuro Tooru and the other two immediately looked up at the loudspeaker not far away.

Under the solemn gazes of the group, a synthesized mechanical voice came from the loudspeaker.

"To make a long story short, the reason I called you all here is to tell you that whatever missions you have been or are currently carrying out, all of them must cease for the time being. You are not allowed to act on your own without further orders."

At this point, a faint electrical hum came from the speaker again.

As the static disappeared, the room returned to silence.

Although the order seemed very simple, both Amuro Tooru, Grey Goose, and Gil frowned deeply, their expressions full of contemplation.

A few seconds later, Amuro Tooru was the first to walk out of the room and drive away from the base.

After getting into the car, he gripped the steering wheel tightly, his brain racing.

Unlike Grey Goose and Kiel, he had quite a few dealings with Rum.

Based solely on the hurried tone of his voice, he was certain that the voice coming from the speaker was indeed Rum's.

That guy is always so concise and to the point, rarely beating around the bush.

but……

Rum's orders may seem 'ordinary', but they often contain complex and profound meanings.

Putting aside why he ordered his men to 'temporarily halt the mission'...

If it was just to tell them about this, why make such a big fuss and call them to the base?

Wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to contact each other directly via mobile phone?

Rum... suspects all three of them!

The reason they were summoned here to receive orders was definitely to observe them.

That makes sense, though. Rum, who possesses almost all the organization's important intelligence and information about undercover agents, must also know what happened before.

He must have already sensed or discovered something...

I was the undercover agent...

Amuro Tooru was roughly aware of Gin's two previous defeats, but he knew they had nothing to do with him.

To be honest, he didn't know how the FBI knew about Gin and his group's actions.

Amuro Tooru shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind.

Let them have their doubts.

Even if it were Rum, without evidence, it would be impossible to trace it back to him.

The question now is, why did Rum suddenly order them to 'stop all missions'?

What is the purpose of doing this?

Was it to temporarily evade the attention of other organizations, or for some other important reason...?

Thinking of this, Amuro Tooru's expression grew even more unpleasant.

He felt that recently, both the organization and the police had a strange, inexplicable quality about them.

The high-ranking police officials he once trusted are now also full of doubts.

Come to think of it, it all seems to have started after Chianti and Cohen were killed.

and many more!

That said, who put them...?

Chapter 404 Strange Forecast

Early next morning

Ryūno and Ran went to the detective agency again.

Because of yesterday's donation from Amuro Tooru and Kagami, the situation has become very serious.

Even Kogoro Mouri, who is usually very shy, did not refuse his daughter's suggestion and obediently followed Tatsuno and the others downstairs to the coffee shop.

Although Kogoro Mouri doesn't remember what happened two days ago, nor how he solved the case.

But when he learned from Tatsuno and the others that Amuro Tooru and the others were involved in a crime, he was filled with apprehension and fear.

As soon as Longye and his group entered the store, they were greeted by the bartender.

"Mr. Mori! I've seen the news report. Congratulations on successfully solving the case!"

"Ah..." Kogoro Mouri scratched his head sheepishly and nodded with a smile.

After Longye and the others sat down, Conan looked around and asked, "Sister Xiaozhi, are you the only one minding the shop today?"

槺捐鞯阃沸Φ溃骸班牛, 彩蚁壬诒焙5赖耐, Ш孟褚峄椋, 氐厍肓思柑旗蟬”

Upon hearing this, Conan nodded, then frowned and stared silently at the table, lost in thought.

Longye, standing to the side, blinked and smiled slightly.

Attending a classmate's wedding?

A police officer went undercover to attend his classmate's wedding?

If he really did that... he could probably attend a funeral right after attending a wedding.

It was both his own funeral and the funeral of his classmate and his wife.

Yesterday, after checking his phone, Amuro Tooru immediately made an excuse and left.

In addition, he also took leave from the store...

Judging from the situation, it must have been the distillery or the police who contacted him, and Longye thought it was most likely the distillery.

Soon after, Longye and his friends ate breakfast while chatting with Kangjuan and Nailang.

As time went on, Kogoro Mouri's initial 'embarrassment' transformed into a beaming smile, and he continued to shower Kogoro with compliments and pleasantries!

Just then, the man sitting next to Longye and his group put down his newspaper and said calmly, "You guys are really having a good time..."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Longye and the others immediately turned to look at the man.

"Nakamori?" Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in surprise.

Inspector Nakamori didn't answer, but instead raised his coffee cup and slowly said, "You guys who always win battles... I've been suffering because I can't catch that cunning and despicable thief."

After speaking, Inspector Nakamori took a sip of his coffee.

The next second, his expression instantly turned ferocious, and he stuck out his tongue and shouted, "Ah!!! It's so hot!"

Seeing this, the man near the bar, along with others, approached and left.

Inspector Nakamori blew on his tongue, then put on an expression that seemed to say he knew everything. "It's alright. For someone like me whose heart has already turned to ice, this temperature is just right."

Longye and the others on the side suppressed their laughter and remained silent.

After a moment, Conan asked, "Inspector Nakamori, why do you say that?"

Inspector Nakamori looked at Tatsuno and the others and explained, "Because that guy Kid has been out of contact lately, I've lost all motivation."

Hearing this, even Kogoro Mouri put down his sandwich and asked in surprise, "Nakamori, weren't you reading the newspaper just now? Didn't you see today's headlines?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Nakamori picked up the newspaper on the table and chuckled, "This is a newspaper I bought while on duty yesterday, not today's."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the surprised faces of Longye and the others, and seemed to realize something, and froze on the spot.

Just then, the sound of the bowstring twanged.

The moment Inspector Nakamori saw the newspaper cover, his eyes widened and he exclaimed in shock.

The entire newspaper page was dedicated to the same headline: 'Phantom Thief Kid: This Time, He Issues a Challenge to His Nemesis, Suzuki Jirokichi!'
