Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"In fact, bars can be categorized in many different ways, such as the most basic classifications like PUB, BAR, and CLUB..."

"So this is ah."

After the explanation, Ran Mouri nodded in understanding, then, realizing what was happening, stared at Conan suspiciously and said:

"But why does Conan know so much about bars?"

"Eh?"

Conan's face froze instantly, and he hurriedly explained:

"Shinichi-nii told me all of this!"

However, these words immediately darkened Ran Mouri's face, and upon seeing this, Conan sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment, Ran Mouri gritted her teeth and said:

"What on earth is Shinichi teaching?!"

"When he comes back next time, I'll teach him a lesson!"

"..."

Conan's lips twitched, and his expression became somewhat numb. He had now shot himself in the foot.

Ugh, why did I have to be so talkative!

"Pfft."

Seeing Conan's cryptic actions, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. When she saw Conan looking at her, she quickly regained her composure, but the slight upturn of her lips was hard to suppress.

Ai Haibara, standing next to Fujimaru Ritsuka, gave him a mocking look without any attempt to hide it.

"..."

Seeing this, Conan's face darkened even more.

To him, what difference is there between this and a public execution?!

Bu Xiang Wan is spicy!

Ran Mouri, still angry, didn't notice the subtle interaction between the three. Mash Fujimaru, seeing this, was a little curious but didn't ask any further questions.

"What's the point of that kind of bar?"

Kogoro Mouri, however, was completely unaware of the danger. Upon hearing this, he looked somewhat disgusted, but then continued with great interest:

"When it comes to bars, it really comes down to beautiful women..."

"?!"

Before he could finish speaking, he finally felt the death stare from his daughter, and his whole body trembled. So he immediately shut his mouth and pretended that nothing had happened.

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri and Conan were easily subdued by Ran Mouri, Ritsuka Fujimaru couldn't help but smile again, then changed the subject and rescued the two.

"Xiaolan, where are you over here?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked with a smile:

Has anything interesting happened during this time?

Upon hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's question, Mouri Ran finally returned to normal and thought for a moment before replying:

"Nothing particularly unusual has happened here recently. The only thing worth mentioning is this heavy rain right now, isn't it?"

"After all, according to the weather forecast, this heavy rain has already broken many historical records and may become the longest-lasting rainfall in history."

Seeing that Ran's attention had been successfully diverted, Kogoro and Conan both breathed a sigh of relief. Kogoro took the opportunity to grab a few snacks and quietly retreated back to his desk.

Conan, too, seemed to have turned into a quail, sitting quietly in place and not daring to speak out again.

"correct,"

Mentioning the heavy rain, Ran Mouri seemed to have thought of something, and looking at Mash and Ai Haibara beside Ritsuka Fujimaru, she suddenly asked with great interest:

"Speaking of which, weren't Mash and Ai investigating some mysterious phenomena related to the heavy rain during this time?"

"Anything gained?"

"This one……"

When this was brought up, Mashu became a little embarrassed and scratched her head, saying:

"I'm sorry, there hasn't been any substantial progress so far."

"There's no need to apologize."

Ran Mouri chuckled and waved her hand, then leaned closer to the group and said somewhat mysteriously:

"Actually, I think I've discovered something that might be related to the unusual heavy rain."

"Eh?!"

Amidst the surprised expressions of Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, Mouri Ran took out her phone and showed them a video. However, the video was of the tadpole-like things that Mashu and Haibara Ai had collected, which had fallen with the rain.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, so you already knew?"

Upon learning that Fujimaru Ritsuka had already seen the video, Mouri Ran scratched her head, somewhat regretfully saying:

"I thought I could help you."

"It's okay, it's already very good."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and comforted her, while Conan, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but speak up again:

"Experts on TV have already said that it's just a special phenomenon caused by El Niño due to global warming. What does it have to do with any mysterious event?"

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara glanced at him indifferently and said:

"What's the basis?"

"..."

Conan was speechless.

In fact, he specifically searched for relevant literature and materials regarding this issue, but he did not find any evidence to support the expert's statement.

But what other explanation is there?

It's better than getting involved in something as vague and unreal as gods and ghosts, right?

"Hey, little girl from the Fujimaru family,"

Just then, Kogoro Mouri, who had returned to his desk, suddenly called out to Ritsuka Fujimaru and said:

"It seems like someone is looking for you."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others got up and walked over, following Kogoro Mouri's gaze downstairs.

Sure enough, two strangers were standing downstairs at their office, repeatedly confirming something, as if they had come specifically to see them.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 323: On-site interview, and the firm became famous?

Standing downstairs at the Chaldea office were a man and a woman who were strangers to each other.

The boy was wearing a worn white T-shirt and blue denim shorts, and looked to be about the age of a high school student. He was also carrying a bright yellow small bag.

The girls are more mature and are half a head taller than the boys. Their smooth hair and casual attire exude a mature charm, making them true beauties.

"Chaldea Mystery Agency..."

Young Morishima Hodaka looked up at the billboard with the words "Chaldea Mystery Agency" printed in large letters, then looked down at the notes in his notebook, repeatedly comparing them before confirming:

"It should be right here."

Looking through the window, he saw that the Chaldea Mystic Agency was dimly lit, as if the lights were off. He frowned slightly and said:

"But it looks like the agency isn't open for business. Could they be out?"

"In that case, Miss Xia Mei, shall we go somewhere else first?"

"...Miss Xia Mei?"

When no one responded to his question, Hodaka Morishima couldn't help but look at Natsumi Suga beside him, only to find that she seemed to be completely distracted from her work, her brows furrowed as she pondered something.

"Um……"

"I said, Miss Xia Mei...?"

"what!"

“Wow—?!”

Hodaka Morishima tentatively called out to the other person, when Natsumi Suga suddenly screamed, startling the unsuspecting Hodaka Morishima.

Suga Natsumi suddenly realized and pounded her hands, saying:

"I remembered!"

"Uh, what did you remember?"

Hodaka Morishima was baffled by Natsumi Suga's somewhat neurotic behavior, while she pointed excitedly to the Mori Detective Agency across from the Chaldea Mystery Agency, saying:

"That detective agency is the agency opened by the famous detective, 'Sleeping Kogoro'!"

"Eh, that [Sleeping Kogoro]?"

Hodaka Morishima was also somewhat surprised.

Although he has only been in Tokyo for a short time, he has occasionally been seen on television reporting on his appearance at a murder scene and his subsequent arrest of the real culprit. He is now a very famous detective.

So he asked with some curiosity:

"Miss Xia Mei, are you a fan of the other party?"

"Of course not!"

Upon hearing this, Suga Natsumi denied it without hesitation, then chuckled and said:

"If we're talking about famous detectives, I definitely prefer the handsome type like Shinichi Kudo, the savior of the Japanese police!"

"It's a real shame that he hasn't been very active lately."
