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

Conan yawned, looking at Kogoro Mouri, who was being interviewed, with a somewhat speechless expression.

He had been standing here for a while.

However, the main subject of the interview was Kogoro Mouri, so he couldn't be bothered to stand next to Kogoro Mouri. Besides, if his photo were to appear on the front page of the news, that would be a security risk.

Although, given the Black Organization's capabilities, this security risk is negligible.

"I really want to go back to sleep. Besides, why is Chen En running away with Haibara?"

Conan muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, other reporters began to ask questions, their sharp remarks leaving the reporters speechless!

"Mr. Kogoro Mouri, do you consider yourself a famous detective?"

"Mr. Kogoro Mouri, what is your opinion on the fact that you drove your client to his death, and how do you intend to respond? Are you intentionally avoiding answering this question?"

"Mr. Kogoro Mouri, how many girlfriends do you have?"

All sorts of problems are emerging at this moment.

Kogoro Mouri felt that some of the questions were a little strange, like questions that would only appear in a prank show, but he ignored them and spoke seriously.

"I can tell you that the story of me driving my client to his death is completely fabricated and pure fiction!"

“I, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, have never been a murderer, not before, not now, and certainly not in the future! If you insist on calling me that, you might as well continue calling me a jinx.”

"As for whether I am a famous detective? The answer to that question is obvious."

"Of course I'm a famous detective, and the world's number one detective!"

Kogoro Mouri said with absolute confidence.

He felt he had the right to be proud.

With his superb marksmanship and fighting skills, and his ability to conceal his true self to compensate for his lack of deductive reasoning, he is, apart from sometimes falling asleep for inexplicable reasons, a completely competent and very capable detective!

Upon hearing this, Conan's lips twitched slightly.

He's more like the world's number one bumbling detective than the world's number one idiot detective.

He knew that Kogoro Mouri always felt that there was a real, hidden self inside him, and that as long as he fell into a deep sleep, that real self would be summoned, transforming him into an armchair detective who could instantly solve cases.

However, Conan knew very well that Kogoro Mouri simply did not possess such talent.

That was entirely him gathering evidence and secretly reasoning.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's smug expression, Conan couldn't help but sigh, his lips twitching slightly. He was speechless, after all, this was the living father he had raised himself.

This is somewhat a case of reaping what you sow.

"...Let me tell you, I don't have a girlfriend. I'm a married man, I don't have a girlfriend at all!"

Kogoro Mouri shouted loudly.

He felt his pressure bar rising rapidly, to the point that he felt his blood pressure was slightly high and his fists were slightly hard, as if he could unleash the Whale Killer Fist at any moment.

The feeling of scattering all these clueless reporters in front of me.

However, the reporter persisted in asking that question.

He asked again whether Kogoro Mouri had driven his client, Ryozo Gamo, to his death. In any case, Ryozo Gamo's death was inextricably linked to Kogoro Mouri.

If Kogoro Mouri had been able to investigate the truth of the case back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Kogoro Mouri was speechless.

Since you've said that, what other options do I have besides obeying you?

However, just as Kogoro Mouri turned around, preparing to ignore the reporters and return to the Mouri Detective Agency with Conan, a reporter suddenly said...

"Stop being a detective, Kogoro Mouri."

"You are completely unsuitable to be a famous detective. You drove your client to suicide and then falsely accused his nephew of murder, insisting on making his nephew an ironclad murderer!"

"If someone like you can become a famous detective, that's utterly ridiculous!"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri turned completely red-faced.

He turned his head to look at the reporter and said seriously.

"Stop talking. I can tell you, this case is definitely a homicide, not a suicide!"

"I did not frame anyone else; your claims are completely wrong!"

"Was it Shinkyo Isuke who sent you here? Fine, since you want an answer, then I'll give you one. I, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, will not be able to find any evidence that this case is a murder!"

"I'll take down the sign of the Mori Detective Agency the moment this case is closed!"

"At that time, I will give up being a detective!"

Upon hearing this, a murmur of surprise rippled through the reporters.

Everyone stared at Kogoro Mouri in disbelief, never expecting him to reveal such a shocking piece of news. The reporters even took out their cameras and started snapping pictures of Kogoro Mouri.

This was the first time Kogoro Mouri had ever felt like a star in the spotlight.

Upon seeing this, Conan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Are you kidding me? Why are you going this far?

Do Ran and Eri know you're playing such a big game?

Then we really need to get Aunt Eri Kisaki to come and teach you a lesson!

Chapter 548 Wow, is this the transfer student who looks like a girl but is actually a boy?

"Wow, thinking back on it carefully, my impromptu performance in front of the reporters just now was really awesome."

The Mori Detective Agency, second floor.

Kogoro Mouri showed no signs of nervousness about his speech.

He lay on his sofa, looking very confident.

Seeing this, Conan next to him blinked.

He finally couldn't help but ask.

"Uncle Mori, you seem so confident. Have you already found a way to solve the case?"

Kogoro Mouri's expression suddenly froze for a moment.

He leaned down, gently touching his chin with his fingers, and said with a serious expression,

"Well, although we haven't found any evidence yet to prove that Shinkyo Ike is the murderer."

"However, as the saying goes, there's always a way out. I believe that as long as I continue my investigation, I will definitely find evidence to prove that Shinkyo Ike is the murderer."

At this point, Kogoro Mouri suddenly stood up.

He put his hands on his hips and laughed triumphantly.

"And besides, I haven't felt that particular drowsiness these past few days."

"This is very abnormal. It must be because this case is too difficult, so my true self needs some time to think. I believe that my true self will soon recover and then perform a magnificent reversal to solve the case!"

Conan: ?

So you really weren't prepared at all?

You're making hasty conclusions without understanding your own dormant mechanisms.

I haven't found any evidence to prove that Takeoka Isao is the murderer, so how can you be more confident than me?

Conan's head was covered in black lines.

He stared at Kogoro Mouri in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

As expected, Kogoro Mouri is the type to always act on his emotions.

I really want to summon Ran back and bring Uncle Mori to his senses.

Unfortunately, Ran has classes at Teitan High School today, so she can't come over at this time...

"Alright! Kid, let's go!"

"I'll contact Zhu Gang. Didn't he say last night that he'd help me solve this case?"

"Back in police academy, we were inseparable friends. If brothers joined forces, how could we possibly be a match for each other?!"

Kogoro Mouri shouted loudly.

He took out his phone and called Takeoka Isao, completely unaware that his brother was betraying him.

Seeing this, Conan was speechless.

what is this?

Being sold out and still helping the seller count the money?

Sure enough, I should contact Ran and ask her to give Uncle Mori a boost when she gets home from school.

Kogoro Mouri pushed open the door of the Mouri Detective Agency.

After sighing, Conan followed suit and closed the door.

As he walked down the internal staircase, he took out his phone and sent a message to Ran Mouri, who was still at Teitan High School.

"Huh? What is Daddy saying now...?"

Ran Mouri looked down at the messages on her phone, shook her head, and sighed.

Although Dad has always been very confident in himself.

However, despite having no leads in the case, Dad still made a boastful claim about it.

What if this case remains unsolved, or the murderer is different from what Dad suspects?
