“Conan…” Ran Mouri reached out and patted Conan’s head. “Don’t worry, I will protect everyone.”

Conan looked up at Ranuchi-chan, feeling wronged and unsure how to express it.

What should he do?

Chapter 289 Jia Chen: I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore.

My name is Kogoro Mouri, and I am a retired detective from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Originally, they made a living by investigating extramarital affairs and tracking down cats and dogs.

But ever since a primary school student named Conan arrived, my life has changed...

I suddenly awakened a talent called: Sleep.

No matter the case, after I took a nap, the case would be solved without any problems.

Every time I wake up, I see Inspector Megure's smiling face and the prisoner's remorseful expression.

My reputation soared, and I was called "Sleeping Kogoro Mouri" by others.

But now, he's panicked.

It's really strange. I just slept in at home and watched Yoko Okino's press conference.

How did it suddenly become a target of terrorist attacks?

[Old drought 53907-9⑴]2*6

Most importantly, he knows absolutely nothing about it!

Could it be that... the leader of that terrorist organization's plans were actually thwarted by his deductions while he was asleep?

This is difficult... The most crucial point is that he doesn't even remember which cases he solved while he was asleep.

"Don't worry, I'll protect everyone..."

Ran Mouri's voice rang out, pulling Kogoro Mouri back to reality.

"Hoo." Kogoro Mouri exhaled a deep puff of smoke, extinguished his cigarette, and lit another. "I'm not so destitute that I need your protection."

He picked up his phone, went into the room, and dialed someone's number.

beep...

Beep beep beep...

No one heard.

Holding his phone, Kogoro Mouri felt a surge of panic once again.

Ten minutes later, the phone rang again. Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up, and he quickly answered the phone.

"What's wrong? You suddenly have time to call me?" Eri's voice came through the phone, accompanied by the sound of rustling papers, as if someone was organizing documents. "Have you gotten into trouble again?"

"Hmph... If something really happened, I wouldn't need your help." Kogoro Mouri snorted, then his lips drooped. "It's just... I don't know why, but I've messed with a terrorist organization. Those people might attack you, and they're calling you to see if you'll die before me."

"A terrorist organization? What's going on?" Eri Kisaki sensed that Kogoro Mouri wasn't joking; his tone was somewhat anxious. "What exactly happened?"

"It's nothing serious. Just be careful and don't die before me," Kogoro Mouri said. "By the way, don't come looking for me. I'm not home."

After saying that, Kogoro Mouri hung up the phone.

He didn't want to get too involved with Eri Kisaki, lest she also become a target of the attack.

He put his phone away and opened the door.

Ran Mouri stood behind the door. "Is that Mom on the phone?"

"Hmm..." Kogoro Mouri nodded sullenly and took another drag of his cigarette.

"Inspector Megure will contact us in a bit. Get ready, we're going to our new accommodation," Kogoro Mouri said.

The Mori Detective Agency is no longer a safe place to stay; who knows when it might be attacked by terrorists?

“Um…I…” Conan suddenly spoke up.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a pang of self-reproach. If it weren't for his recklessness, the Mori family wouldn't have been dragged into this mess.

But... he really didn't expect that organization to have so much power!

"Don't worry, Conan, nothing will happen," Ran Mouri forced a smile.

She just tried calling Conan's mother, but couldn't get through.

This caused Xiaolan a lot of distress.

She didn't want Conan to get involved, but unfortunately, the other party's parents' phone numbers were always disconnected.

"No, actually, the truth is..." At this critical moment, Conan couldn't care less about anything else and prepared to reveal his identity.

..........clatter..

Footsteps came from the hallway outside...

Everyone's hearts tightened; they finally sensed that something was wrong.

Because it was so quiet outside, the footsteps echoed clearly in the corridor.

Ran Mouri quickly assumed a karate stance, ready to fight.

Click... The door opened.

Ran Mouri took a deep breath, pivoted on her left foot, and turned to kick backward.

Snapped..

One hand gripped Ran Mouri's ankle firmly, with such strength that Ran couldn't move an inch.

"You seem to be... in trouble?" Jia Chen released his hand and said calmly.

"Gachengege?!" Conan was overjoyed.

"Phew...it's Brother Jia Chen." Ran Mouri breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

"You seem a little forgetful." Jia Chen took out his phone, opened the chat history, and waved it in front of Xiao Lan. "Didn't you invite me to a big meal?"

Ran Mouri paused for a moment, the atmosphere so tense after hearing about the terrorist attack that she had completely forgotten about it.

"Also, don't kick people when you're wearing a skirt." Jia Chen glanced at Ran Mouri.

The other person was wearing a high school uniform. Japanese school uniforms are standard JK uniforms, which are dark blue all over.

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri's cheeks involuntarily flushed for a moment.

"Tell me about the troubles you've encountered." Jia Chen's expression was confident and calm, as if he were truly omnipotent.

"Brother Jiachen..." Xiaolan raised her head, her voice trembling, tears welling up in her eyes.

As a seventeen-year-old girl, she really carried too much on her shoulders.

"Actually, nothing's wrong..." In the end, Xiaolan shook her head. She couldn't involve Jia Chen, who had no connection to the matter.

Seeing Ran Mouri's expression, Jia Chen glanced warily at Conan, who had his head down.

It was definitely Conan who, after being terrified, told Inspector Megure about it in a trembling voice, and then the terrified Inspector Megure went and told Kogoro Mouri...

In the end, innocent Kogoro Mouri and Ran were also terrified.

"Never mind, I won't ask if you don't want to talk about it." Jia Chen sat down on the sofa. "But don't be so afraid. You need to know that you are protected by darkness."

Seeing how serious Jia Chen was, Ran Mouri was somewhat moved, "But..."

"But what?" Jia Chen asked calmly. "A-Zhen thinks highly of you, Yu Zhong also believes you have real talent, Xiao Ke, Xiao Shi, and Xiao Ji all agree with you after hearing about it, and A-Be regards you as an angel..."

“Even Death cares about you.” Jia Chen looked at Ran Mouri. “Most importantly, with me here, you’re invincible. What are you afraid of?”

He's favored by both the Black and Red sides, and he's definitely the team's darling.

Besides natural disasters, what else is truly terrifying...?

However, it's unlikely to be a natural disaster, after all, she's the darling of the goddess of fate...

A person whose luck is extremely bad.

This is definitely the protagonist template.

Xiaolan was both distressed and confused after hearing this.

The problem is that I can't involve Ah Jin too.

What's puzzling is that, apart from Ah Zhen and Mr. Yu, she doesn't recognize anyone else. Could it be that she inherited her father's talent, making it easy for her to fall asleep and forget everything?

"This is beyond your imagination..." Xiaolan shook her head, still refusing.

Although she couldn't understand Jia Chen's words, she still understood that he wanted to help her.

“That’s not important,” Jia Chen said.

"Don't cause any more trouble, kid. You'd better stay away from us so you don't get dragged into this." Kogoro Mouri stubbed out his cigarette and waved his hand.

"You'll be fine." Jia Chen said indifferently, as if everything was under his control.

"Really, Brother Gachen?" Conan ran over, looking pitiful.

Jia Chen is a police consultant and the company president, holding a very high position and wielding considerable power.
