Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

If the other party goes all out, his involvement will not only be useless, but will also drag him into the mess and put him under deadly threat.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "Looks like I'm too late."

The person didn't knock, but just opened the door and walked in, acting as if they were very familiar with the place.

"Attorney Kisaki, this must be Detective Mouri, right? It's a pleasure to meet you," she said, extending her hand to shake hands with Kogoro Mouri before sitting down on the sofa, leaving a somewhat bewildered Kogoro standing there.

After the other person sat down, Kogoro Mouri realized what was happening, and his expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant. He couldn't help but scrutinize the other person carefully.

The man was dressed in a black suit, exuding a cool and composed demeanor. Although he was middle-aged, he remained handsome; time had not diminished his good looks, but rather added a lot of maturity, making him even more charming.

What's even more remarkable is that the other person possesses an aristocratic air, an air that immediately tells you that this is someone of great importance.

Kogoro Mouri is considered a handsome middle-aged man, but compared to this other person, he falls short. What's even more upsetting is the other person's casual attitude here!

It was as if he were a regular here, and that was what hurt Kogoro Mouri the most.

A sense of crisis suddenly overwhelmed me: Could I have been cheated on?

Eri Kisaki smiled when she saw who it was.

"Mr. Ashida, thank you so much. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

The newcomer was none other than Ashida Kensaku, who had previously attended the Metropolitan Police Department's high-level meeting and later severely injured Gin in a direct battle.

He chuckled lightly, "No need for thanks. Besides, I just saw it myself. Even if I hadn't come, you could have handled this little matter yourself. Kenji Hōyama and his henchmen all left in a sorry state. I suppose that was the work of this Detective Mōri? Not bad at all."

Although she really wanted to take credit, Eri Kisaki and Midori Kuriyama had both seen what had just happened, so there was no point in trying to flatter herself. So she just laughed it off.

"This is Mr. Ashida, right? It wasn't me who did it, but my colleague, Detective Genda. He was too fast. I didn't even have time to react before he took down his opponent in 3.3. I was so happy for nothing," he said, looking quite regretful.

At this moment, Ashida Kensaku finally turned his gaze to Genda River.

"Genda River? Your surname is Genda? What is your relationship with the Genda Group?"

Genda smiled faintly. It was clear that this guy named Ashida Kensaku was a very arrogant person, and his tone was somewhat overbearing, but that didn't matter.

After all, he's a magnanimous person. He can get revenge when he has the chance. After all, there's something in this world called a sack, the kind you can put over your head and hit someone with.

"Mr. Ashida is right; the Genji Group is my parents' business."

Ashida Kensaku nodded slightly, a complex look in his eyes. It was quite unexpected that a descendant of the Genji Group would be involved in this case.

Chapter 87 Anxious Xiao Lan

Hearing this, Eri Kisaki sighed softly.

"I never imagined he was a descendant of the Genda family."

He had heard about what had happened to the Genda family, but he hadn't connected his daughter's classmate with this young man.

Gendagawa said, "Attorney Kisaki, although Uncle Mori asked me to protect you personally, such a request still requires your consent. However, if you have other options, then I can only take my leave."

Although he is willing to take action on this matter, it doesn't mean he will rush to help.

Eri Kisaki smiled and said, "We've all witnessed your abilities just now. I do need a bodyguard for close protection, and you're the most suitable candidate. Besides, I have no other choice."

Ashida Kensaku, who was standing nearby, also spoke up, "Don't worry about me. I'm just here to help out. I don't have time to be a bodyguard, although it's not impossible if Attorney Kisaki needs me."

"You bastard..."

Kogoro felt a surge of anger rising to his head. Just who was this guy? Was his status as the legitimate husband being challenged?

Gendagawa smiled and said, "Mr. Ashida is right. As a high-ranking police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department, of course I don't have time to be a bodyguard for Attorney Hina 12."

"A high-ranking official from the Metropolitan Police Department?" Kogoro's expression froze, somewhat incredulous.

Ashida Kensaku asked curiously, "How did you figure that out? I don't think I gave anything away, did I?"

Genda Kawa smiled calmly and explained, "First of all, it's your demeanor and bearing. No matter how outstanding a person is, it's difficult to cultivate the corresponding bearing without a corresponding position. So from the moment you walked in, I knew that your status was not low. That's the first point."

"Moreover, I noticed something from the moment you walked in: the swinging amplitude of your arms is different. Your left arm swings normally, while your right arm is almost stationary. Although this is because of your arm injury, it is not the main reason. The main reason is your gunman's gait habit!"

Kogoro Mouri asked in confusion, "What does 'gunman's gait' mean?"

Eri Kisaki promptly explained, "The so-called 'gunner's gait' refers to a behavioral adaptation that develops after extensive weapons training. Simply put, it can be seen as an occupational hazard for armed personnel."

Ashida Kensaku chuckled and said, "Brilliant reasoning, but it's just reasoning. Can't the fact that my right arm isn't moving be entirely due to an arm injury?"

Or perhaps I suffer from some kind of specific muscle disorder that's causing this? And it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with me being a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, does it?

Genda continued, "Mr. Ashida, please don't worry. I will continue to explain. The gunman's gait cannot be completely proven, but it is enough as corroborating evidence."

"And I can see that your hands are hands that have been holding a gun for years. Although you've tried to take care of them and reduce the calluses on your fingers, you can't hide it from a detective!"

He continued, "So to summarize, the gunman's gait and the calluses on your hands are enough to show that you are a very skilled gunman. The only professions that allow you to openly carry a gun are the military and the police. And since you are Attorney Fei's friend, you are most likely in the police force. Considering your demeanor, you are probably used to being bossy, so your identity as a high-ranking official in the Metropolitan Police Department is also obvious."

"The police previously announced that the Gunma Prefectural Police Headquarters, in cooperation with the military, dismantled an armed smuggling gang. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides. I suppose the injuries on your body came from that time?"

After saying that, he thought to himself, "It seems he's the one who destroyed the Black Organization's base. I just wonder what his position is in the Metropolitan Police Department."

The original work is, after all, just an anime, and most of the cases it involves are cases involving ordinary people. In fact, there is very little focus on the high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Clap clap-"

Ashida Kensaku clapped his hands and cheered, a smile spreading across his face: "Haha, what keen observation! You saw all my little flaws clearly. But that's how people are. The more skilled you are, the more you're bound by those things. Skills honed over the years can also expose your abilities due to muscle memory. Not bad, not bad!"

He turned to Eri Kisaki and said, "Attorney Kisaki, it seems Mr. Mori has hired a very good bodyguard for you. I won't stay any longer; I need to return to the Metropolitan Police Department to handle some matters. Some people and some things need to be settled."

As he spoke, a subtle, cold glint flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, as if it had never appeared.

Eri nodded: "Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for your help, I would have had to give up."

As a composed lawyer, Kiyoshi wants to uphold justice, but she also knows the importance of acting within her capabilities.

If even with her best efforts, there is no chance of winning, she will have no choice but to give up.

However, if there is a glimmer of hope for victory if we go all out, even if the chances are slim, we can still give it our all!

"Okay, you'd better keep it up! And you young detectives and middle-aged detectives too, you two do the same."

Watching his departing figure, Kogoro Mouri grumbled, "What a pretentious guy. I hope I don't catch him in the act, or I'll really want to beat him up."

Then, looking at Eri Kisaki, he asked, "Eri, who exactly is this guy?"

Just as Eri was about to answer, a rapid knocking sounded again, and then a tall figure ran in—it was Ran.

"Mom, are you okay?"

The girl ran in, grabbed her mother and looked her over. Only after seeing that her mother was unharmed did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Lan, I'm fine. By the way, what brings you here?"

She then frowned at Kogoro and said, "What's wrong with you? Ran is still so young, how could you let her know these things? She'll be in danger!"

Kogoro was berated but had no way to defend himself. He hadn't actually told Ran the truth, and Ran's arrival at that moment startled him.

"Ran, how did you know? I don't remember telling you any of this," Kogoro asked, puzzled.

Genda Kawa smiled and said, "The reason why Mori-kun was able to come here must be thanks to a certain famous detective. He's here!"

Before the words were finished, a series of messy footsteps were heard, and a moment later, a slightly disheveled figure ran in.

"Xiao Lan, I told you to wait for me! You ran too fast, whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

A handsome young man, looking somewhat disheveled, ran in, his hands on his knees, panting for a while before finally catching his breath.

"Shinichi, thank you for your hard work. I was worried about Mom, that's why I rushed over. It seems she's alright now."

Only then did Shinichi Kudo get a clear look at everyone in the living room.

"Hello Auntie, and Uncle Mori too, and Genda-kun is here as well."

When Kogoro Mouri saw this guy, he couldn't help but snort softly. He didn't know why, but even though this was a child he had watched grow up, he had never liked him since childhood.

He made his daughter, Xiaolan, stay by his side all day long when she was in kindergarten, depriving her of many of the joys of raising a daughter. It's all that brat's fault.

Moreover, as his daughter grew older, this dissatisfaction only increased.

Or maybe that's why Shinichi Kudo always gets beaten up by Conan after he becomes Conan.

He then spoke up, "Detective boy, you actually guessed some things, which is why you brought Xiaolan here. But you should also know that this matter is very dangerous. I didn't want Xiaolan to get involved, and you've ruined everything."

Chapter 88 Night Raid

After hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Shinichi Kudo also felt somewhat guilty.

In fact, after learning some facts, he deduced many things. Although he did not see things as clearly and shrewdly as Genda River, he knew that the other party would definitely go all out to protect his son!

Moreover, after contacting Professor Agasa and his father, who was far across the ocean, he obtained far more detailed information than Kogoro Mouri.

The young man who committed the rape and murder was named Yamaguchi Yuujin. He was the eldest son of the Yamaguchi family and the only son of the head of the Yamaguchi family, Yamaguchi Yoshihiko!

The Yamaguchi family originated from the yakuza, and the entire family controlled the Yamaguchi-gumi, the largest yakuza organization in Japan, for nearly a century. Later, they transformed and went legal, becoming a behemoth involved in both the legal and illegal worlds!

The Suzuki Group, which claims to be the sponsor of the Kidd Jewelry, is only close to the Yamaguchi Group in terms of financial resources. What's even more frightening is that even though the Yamaguchi Group has become the Yamaguchi Group, it still controls an extremely powerful underworld force!

Furthermore, after the transformation, it used its substantial financial resources to extend its reach into the political arena, cultivating a large number of political proxies.

This is actually easy to understand. It's just like how wealthy merchants in ancient times invested in students who went to the capital to take the imperial examinations. All they needed was a sum of money invested in advance. Once these students rose through the ranks in politics, they would naturally repay the favor tenfold.

Moreover, the talent they invest in is not limited to political figures; they also invest in top talents from various disciplines, including the police and legal professions!
