He's in Detective Conan, and he's the mastermind behind everything.

"Wake him up, there's something very important."

A moment later, using Chiba Kazunobu's phone, Kudo Shinichi dialed the number in the last call record on the deceased's phone. There was no response on the other end, so Kogoro Mouri's voice came through Kudo Shinichi's phone:

"Hello? Is this Harada-kun?"

Kogoro Mouri's tone sounded casual, but the moment he asked the question, all three people in the police car held their breath and dared not make a sound.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long; a middle-aged man's laughter came from the other side.

"What? Brother Mori, you called my number? Why didn't you use your own phone? You startled me. Is something wrong?"

"!!!"

Everyone was shocked; it really was Harada!

but……

What did he mean by that number?

Why wasn't he surprised that Kogoro Mouri knew this number and could contact him?

Kogoro Mouri was also quite bewildered, but he remembered Shinichi Kudo's advice to stall for time, and immediately chuckled:

"I wasn't paying attention for a moment; I just wanted to talk to you about horse racing."

"Haha, so that's what it is. Don't worry, Brother Maoli, I've already arranged for that fat sheep to go to Biyuanfang to entertain guests. I'll definitely squeeze every last drop of value out of her!"

"!!!"

The address appears: Biyuanfang!

Chapter 105 Harada Moriarty, arrested on the spot!

The call continued.

"Brother Mori, I'm so sorry, it seems the Muddy Association messed things up; a lot of police officers went there. But I still found an opportunity to have two people rape that woman. That will definitely help you get revenge, Brother Mori!"

Harada Taro's voice sounded quite spirited, while Mouri Kogoro and the others listening in were completely stunned.

hiss--

Something seems off about this.

Could Kogoro Mouri be the mastermind?!

"Brother Harada, what do you mean by that? I don't understand!" Kogoro Mori couldn't help but ask urgently. You can't just frame someone like that to their face!

"Oh, right, I misspoke, I misspoke, I'm so sorry." Harada Taro quickly apologized, saying quite earnestly, "Brother Mori has nothing to do with this matter from beginning to end, he has been resting and recovering in the hospital the whole time!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Something doesn't quite click with that statement!

Inspector Megure almost opened his mouth, but thankfully Shinichi Kudo stopped him a second later, tapping his right watch to remind him of the time. On the other end of the line, Kogoro Mouri was furious and about to speak again when Taro Harada spoke first:

"Brother Mori, I plan to fly to Canada first thing tomorrow morning, so I won't be able to bet on horses with you anymore. Oh, thank you so much this time. Is there anything else I can do for you, Brother Mori? I'd do anything for you!"

"Have!"

Kogoro Mouri gritted his teeth and said, "Explain this whole thing to me from beginning to end!"

Upon hearing this, both Inspector Megure and Shinichi Kudo felt a jolt of surprise. He had acted too impulsively and alerted the enemy. What if they hung up the phone? It had only been forty seconds!

But to their surprise, Harada Taro laughed heartily:

"It's just a gambling addict selling his daughter. These kinds of things happen all the time in Tokyo. If it weren't for the fact that the Nizan Association hadn't been out of their minds and inexplicably put up this auction, the police might not have come looking for them. But Brother Mori let it go..."

No, no, no, I'm not worried. The rest will be handled by Ni Can. It has nothing to do with me.

correct.

I heard that woman was quite pretty, it's a bit of a shame.

But who cares? With money, you can't find any woman.

Haha, sorry, I forgot you're a very devoted person, Mori-san. But now that you have 200 million, Attorney Kisaki should be coming back, right?

"???"

"!!!"

An indescribable shock enveloped everyone, and for a moment, both the wards of Beika Central Hospital and the police station, which were far apart, were completely silent.

"Um...did I say something wrong?"

Harada Taro's voice sounded somewhat embarrassed: "Anyway, that's it. I'm sorry, Mori-nii, I have something else to do, so I'll leave it at that for now and we can talk another day."

"Wait--"

"Dudududu——"

Before Kogoro Mouri could finish speaking, the call was disconnected. After a rapid dial tone, Inspector Megure, barely suppressing his anger, launched into a question:

"Brother Mori, is there anything you want to say?"

"I was telling the truth! He's framing me!"

Kogoro Mouri's voice was urgent: "Inspector Megure, think about it. If I really orchestrated all of this, why would I turn myself in? Why would I make this phone call? If I had just kept quiet, wouldn't everything have been over?!"

That makes sense, and Shinichi Kudo nodded in agreement with Juzo Megure.

But Inspector Megure was still furious with his good-for-nothing younger brother, Mori.

"Doctor, add legal clauses to Mori's brainwashing process so he won't break the law!"

"..."

Kogoro Mouri said weakly, "I just told her to leave."

pat!

In a fit of anger, Inspector Megure hung up the phone immediately.

He took a few deep breaths, then turned to look at Chiba Kazunobu, who was operating a laptop. A few seconds later, Chiba Kazunobu looked up and nodded excitedly at him.

"There's enough time, the address is being narrowed down..."

! ! ! "

Chiba stared wide-eyed at a shop directly opposite the police car window at an angle:

"It's there!"

The shocked group immediately looked up and saw a bakery. It was deserted, with no customers due to the late hour and the major incident that had occurred there. Only one employee wearing a mask and a chef's hat was leaning against the door playing on his phone.

Could he be Harada Taro?!

The three men in the police car exchanged glances and quickly made a plan. Chiba and Shinichi got out of the car and stayed where they were. The police car slowly drove away. After they were out of the man's sight, Shinichi Kudo got out of the car at the intersection. After Inspector Megure went around to the other side of the intersection, they surrounded the man together.

The target they have locked onto...

"Tsk, trying to cheat, huh? How were you discovered? Did you use some technology?"

Ying Sheng, a bakery employee, was quite speechless. He got up and stretched. Couldn't he just quietly be an observation post and serve as a relay station for various signals?

Chiba Kazunobu subtly glanced at Hotaru, but Hotaru ignored him and turned to walk into the bakery.

Chiba Kazunobu felt a slight sense of relief; Inspector Megure would definitely block the back door, so he wasn't worried about the other party escaping.

The man has now entered the room, and he probably doesn't even know that they've already discovered him.

Great opportunity!

But soon, Chiba Kazunobu noticed with a puzzled look that the man, whose black suit was stained with a lot of white, walked out while fanning himself in front of his mask, stretched out his palm to feel the air, and walked to the side of the street.

Chiba Kazunobu was momentarily bewildered, but he quickly reached out to feel it. This is... the wind?

That person walked in the direction upwind!

!!!

Thinking of the powder on that person, Chiba Kazunobu panicked. Damn it!

Could it be that person is planning a dust explosion?

Chiba Kazunobu quickly jumped into a police car and drove after the man's retreating figure. At the same time, he hurriedly took out his phone, wanting to notify Inspector Megure, who was supposed to be flanking from behind. However, he was horrified to find that the signal in the upper right corner of his phone was zero!

The situation was urgent, and Chiba Kazuki gritted his teeth, immediately turned the car around, and sped off to catch up with Inspector Megure.

Fortunately, there were local police officers still on duty. As they sped past them, Chiba leaned out and shouted:

"Go after that guy in the black suit at the bakery!"

The sound was quite loud; even Ying Sheng, who was leisurely dusting himself off on the street, heard it, leaving him speechless.

This instruction is far too vague.

"Tian Shu, what happened on your end? Do you need help?" Xiao Lan heard that question through the earpiece.

Ying Sheng laughed and said, "I wasn't talking about me. How's the clothing store? Has anything happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just... well, Miss Diana seems to be in a bad mood."

"How to say?"

"I'm not as active as before, so I don't feel comfortable mentioning waiting for you there. I've already gone to the coffee shop where we're meeting tonight."

"Oh, I'll be there right away..."

No! You can't go anywhere!

"???"

Ying Sheng turned his head in confusion, only to find that the person pointing a gun at him was...

Kudo Shinichi?
