The boy soldier next to the famous detective

Although Ran Mouri dreamt that Eri Kisaki was in danger, it was not something Jonah could ignore.

Jonah sees Ran Mouri as a girl with better luck than others, so some of her intuitions are more accurate than others.

In addition, Jonah was restless because he had been too peaceful lately, so he dared not ignore Ran Mouri's dreams.

So, after the family dinner led by Ran Mouri that evening, Jonah did not go home with Kogoro Mouri and the others, but instead said that he wanted to stay with Eri Kisaki for a while.

Eri Kisaki naturally had no objection to this, and Kogoro Mouri and the others did not refuse either.

"So Jonah, you only came to protect me because Ran was having a dream."

In Eri's apartment, after learning Jonah's purpose, Eri shook her head with a wry smile, and reached out to touch Jonah's hair with a mixture of emotion and helplessness.

Eri Kisaki genuinely didn't think she would encounter any danger. Having been a lawyer for so many years, she had always done a good job of protecting herself and would never create any opportunity for others to harm her.

However, Eri Kisaki would not refuse Jonah's kindness, and being able to keep Jonah by her side for a period of time would be a good experience for her.

The next day, Jonah followed Eri to her law firm. He kept an eye on his surroundings and found that, just as Eri had said, there didn't seem to be any place where danger might occur.

"Attorney Fei, this is today's schedule. Also, we received a gift for you in the lobby; it looks like chocolate, but we don't know who sent it."

"Gicopa chocolate, I know who sent it."

Seeing the chocolate that Kuriyama Midori had brought over, Eri Kisaki chuckled softly, a happy expression spreading across her face.

Although I was annoyed by Kogoro Mouri during dinner last night, I didn't expect him to give me my favorite chocolate as an apology.

Feeling a sweet warmth in her heart, Eri Kisaki then unwrapped the chocolate, picked up a piece, and put it in her mouth.

"Auntie Eri, what are you eating?"

Jonah, who had just gone to the restroom, returned to the office and saw Eri Kisaki eating there, so he asked her about it out of curiosity.

"It's chocolate, it tastes really good, Jonah, you want some..."

Before she could finish speaking, Eri Kisaki's expression suddenly changed. She clutched her neck, struggled to get up, and shouted "Give me water!" to Midori Kuriyama before collapsing onto the carpet.

Upon seeing this, Jonah's expression changed drastically. Without a moment's hesitation, he rushed to Eri's side. Seeing Eri's pained appearance, Jonah coldly pulled out an antidote from his backpack, which Ai Haibara had helped prepare and which could weaken the effects of most poisons. He then injected it into Eri's arm and took the mineral water handed to him by Midori Kuriyama, repeatedly pouring it down her throat for a simple stomach lavage.

"Jonah, how is it?"

When Kogoro Mouri and the others arrived, Jonah was sitting on a bench outside the operating room with a cold face. He remained silent in the face of questions from the police who had arrived earlier, leaving the police officer opposite him scratching his head in frustration, unsure of what to do.

"I'm sorry, Uncle, Sister Ran, I was right next to her, but I still couldn't protect Aunt Eri."

"How can you blame yourself? It's that bastard's fault for doing this!"

"That's right, it wasn't Jonah's fault. Jonah did more than enough."

Seeing the self-reproach on Jonah's face, Ran Mouri immediately knelt down and hugged Jonah in her arms, while Kogoro Mouri also spoke to comfort him with a serious expression.

Fortunately, the operating room door was quickly pushed open, and the doctor came out, bringing good news to everyone.

"It's alright, we've already performed gastric lavage on the patient, and they're out of danger now."

"I also want to commend this child. His emergency response was excellent, which bought us a lot of time. He also administered antidotes to the patient in a targeted manner. He was really amazing."

Jonah paid no attention to the doctor's praise and immediately ran to Eri, who was being wheeled out, gripping the bed with both hands and staring wide-eyed at her condition.

"I'm fine, Jonah. You're amazing, you saved me again."

Although she was somewhat weak, Eri Kisaki still smiled the moment she saw Jonah.

"Auntie Eri, are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired, I'll be fine after a rest."

Jonah accompanied Eri Kisaki back to her hospital room with Ran Mouri. Seeing that Eri Kisaki quickly fell asleep due to her weakness, Jonah quietly left the room and immediately found Conan Edogawa, who was still outside and had just finished learning about the situation from the police.

"Conan, do you know who the murderer is?"

"It's not clear yet, but this morning, Inspector Megure was also attacked with a crossbow while jogging. A paper sword was left at the scene, and there was a paper flower that looked similar on Eri's chocolate wrapper. So the person who carried out these two attacks may be the same person."

With a serious expression, Conan Edogawa gave a reply. Looking at Jonah beside him, whose face and even his eyes were chillingly cold, Conan sighed, knowing that nothing he said would make a difference.

This murderer is doomed this time; no one can save him.

"I will gather more evidence as soon as possible and find out who the murderer is. I will tell you as soon as possible, Jonah."

"Okay, thank you, Conan."

Jonah knew that asking Dave for help would be less effective than asking Conan Edogawa for help in something that happened without any warning or suspects, so even though he was anxious, he could only patiently wait for the police investigation.

The next day, Jonah was in the hospital room taking care of Eri Kisaki with Ran Mouri when he suddenly received a call from Ai Haibara, who told him that Professor Agasa had just been attacked and shot in the buttocks with a crossbow.

By the time Jonah and Ran Mouri arrived at Beika Central Hospital, Conan Edogawa had already deduced the connection between the cases.

"In other words, the killer attacked in the order of the playing cards, starting from 13, and each of them was connected to Mr. Mori."

Stroking his chin, Shiratori Ninzaburo, who was in charge of following up on the case, subconsciously looked at Mouri Kogoro, about to ask him something, when he was interrupted by Inspector Megure, who suddenly walked in.

"It seems that the murderer must be Murakami Takeshi."

"He was a card dealer who was released from prison a week ago after killing someone ten years ago. It was my friend Mori and I who caught him back then."

"Yes, if it were him, it's entirely possible that he might retaliate against me out of resentment."

Upon learning the name Murakami Takeshi, Jonah didn't realize anything. However, after seeing the photos that Shiratori Ninzaburo had faxed from the police station, Jonah's eyes widened, and he seriously interrupted the group's discussion.

"This person has been to my uncle's detective agency before."

"What?"
