I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

"Ah, Sonoko, didn't you know?"

"I remember they sent you a message. We went on a short trip to a nearby town and just got back. Oh, and a new student transferred to our class."

"Although he hasn't officially joined the class yet, he's already been invited to participate in this class reunion trip!"

Sonoko Suzuki: ?

Information? What information? I don't know!

Sonoko Suzuki quickly took her phone out of her pocket and glanced at it.

As a result, she found that there were indeed messages from her classmates in her unread messages. However, she was completely focused on how to help Chen En get through Suzuki Tomoko's torture later and did not notice them at all.

After that, I was just busy with this and that and didn't have time to check. It wasn't until now that I noticed there were still unread messages.

Sonoko Suzuki sighed, rubbed her forehead, and said...

"Oh dear, it seems I'll have to explain what happened to the other students next time I'm in class."

It's a group activity after all.

Being a bit of a loner isn't good either, otherwise she wouldn't be able to continue spying on other classmates.

However, Sonoko Suzuki's attention quickly shifted away from this, and she asked curiously,

"You said there's a new classmate? Who is it? What's their name? Is it a boy or a girl?"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri immediately replied,

"Well, how should I put it, isn't he a very cute boy?"

"That child looks a lot like the famous TV host Rena Mizunashi. His name is Eisuke Hondo. He told me yesterday that he was coming to my office today..."

"what?!"

Conan had already emerged from the internal staircase at some point.

Hearing Ran's words, he was as if struck by lightning. His face was filled with shock, and he looked incredulous that a cute boy would come all the way to find Ran.

Is he going to put on some nonsensical act like a confession in front of me?

Conan originally planned to visit Chen En's house as usual.

I was hoping to glean some information from Chen En to satisfy my curiosity, but as soon as I went downstairs, I heard this commotion, and my whole mind went blank.

Seeing Conan's expression, Sonoko Suzuki said with a grin,

"Oh dear, it seems our little detective is jealous."

"Ah-en, do you think that kid has a crush on Ran? But he's still too young for his age. He needs to grow up for at least another four or five years before he can compete with Kudo, right?"

Conan: ?

I'm competing with myself?

Are you awake, members of the team?

A look of speechlessness appeared in Conan's eyes.

Ran Mouri reached out and ruffled Conan's hair, smiling as she spoke.

"I'm going up first, Conan."

Conan snapped out of his daze and nodded repeatedly.

"Ah, um... um, I understand, Sister Xiaolan."

Tap tap, tap tap, tap tap.

The footsteps gradually moved upwards.

Conan knew without turning his head that Ran Mouri had most likely gone upstairs to find Uncle Mouri.

However, he was more concerned about what Hondo Eisuke, whom Ran Mouri referred to as "that child," looked like, and that was the one who was coming over later.

Seriously, I want to see how many percent of my handsomeness you have!

Hondo Eisuke.

Chen En could not possibly be completely unaware of this name.

This is the younger brother of a CIA agent codenamed Kir, whose alias is Rena Mizunashi and real name is Hidemi Hondo. He is actually quite intelligent, but he is too careless in his work, so much so that others often have to clean up his messes or assist him.

Since Hondo Eisuke has appeared in Tokyo, it means that Kir has also appeared online.

However, that's still true.

Chen En has not seen any trace of Gil's existence to this day.

This codenamed member of the Black Organization seems to have a similar presence in the manga to her character in Beika Town. She doesn't seem to have a very high profile in the town now, unless it were because Rena Mizunashi was the host who was kidnapped by Black Mask.

He may have forgotten that the Black Organization still has a member with this codename in the Tokyo area.

Standing next to Chen En, Sonoko Suzuki, with her arm linked with his, couldn't help but laugh at Conan's expression, as if someone owed her a fortune.

However, before Sonoko Suzuki could even smile, a figure had already appeared not far away.

A new student has arrived!

Conan's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Thanks to Ran Mouri's previous description, he was able to instantly identify the new classmate by his resemblance to Rena Mizunashi. It must be said, this guy with glasses...

He can certainly be described as a "beautiful boy".

With delicate features and fair skin, she looks a bit dull and rather androgynous.

"Hondo Eisuke..."

Conan muttered to himself,

"This guy looks dangerous..."

"Shouldn't we investigate this?"

Chapter 461 People Seeking Luck at the Mori Detective Agency

"Oh, you're back."

"Lan, you're back so early! I'm sorry to say that as soon as you walk in, but could you please pour me a cup of coffee? It seems that if I don't have your coffee, my brain cells will act up and I won't be able to wake up."

Sitting on the sofa, Kogoro Mouri, feigning profundity, didn't even look at who was standing in the open doorway before speaking.

Ran Mouri: ?

What happened?

Did Dad suddenly undergo a genetic mutation? Why did he become like this? Is he broken? If we call Mom over to fix him, will it help? Also, when did Dad start liking coffee?

Ran Mouri revealed her beady eyes for the first time in a long time.

After trying to act cool for a while without getting any response, Kogoro Mouri finally couldn't keep up the act any longer.

He glanced at Ran Mouri, and seeing that she was alone, he casually tossed the book he was holding upside down behind him, leaned back comfortably on the sofa, and said...

"Seriously, where's that high school girl? Didn't she come?"

Ran Mouri: ?

When I type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

So, you're not even going after high school girls anymore?

Ran Mouri's gaze became somewhat rude.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri coughed twice and corrected himself.

"Ahem, didn't you tell me that a high school girl admires me and wanted to come visit me today?"

"It's the one who looks a lot like the famous TV host Rena Mizunashi."

Ran Mouri: ?

She blinked, and then said,

"When did I tell you I was a girl?"

"Dad, don't make unrealistic expectations or break your guard."

Mori Kogoro:?

No, a man? He looks a lot like the famous female host?

What do you mean? A man with a woman's appearance? That's a bit too advanced for a middle-aged person like me.

Kogoro Mouri immediately lost interest.

He waved his hand and said...

"Whatever."

Ran Mouri was helpless about Kogoro Mouri's behavior. She shook her head and sighed.

Meanwhile, footsteps were coming from the stairwell behind them, coming up from below.

Ran Mouri turned her head to look.

The next person to appear at the entrance of the Mori Detective Agency was, unsurprisingly, a classmate named Hondo Eisuke.

However, to her surprise,

Conan was also standing next to Hondo Eisuke.

Normally, shouldn't Conan be visiting Mr. Chen En's house at this time, playing for an hour or two before coming back? Today, Conan just left the house, so why is he already heading home?

"Mr. Mori, I am your idol!"

Hondo Eisuke excitedly exclaimed upon seeing Kogoro Mouri.

He excitedly walked towards Kogoro Mouri, but then tripped over his own feet and fell flat on his face, even knocking off his black-rimmed glasses.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan: ?
