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

It's something that Kogoro Mouri would never do.

"Yes, Dad is currently dealing with that suicide case."

"After all, the victim in that suicide case was my father's client. I had met that victim a few times before, and he was very wealthy and owned a company. It's not like he would suddenly commit suicide."

"So, Dad felt there were suspicious points in this incident, and he said he wanted to get to the bottom of it."

Ran Mouri answered Sonoko Suzuki's question earnestly.

In her eyes, her father, Kogoro Mouri, was a first-rate detective.

Since Kogoro Mouri has stated that this case was a murder, then it must be a murder. Kogoro Mouri dares to make such outrageous statements in front of the media, so he must have already obtained key evidence to solve the case.

Ran Mouri stopped there.

She was not clear about what happened next.

After all, even the things Kogoro Mouri boasted about in front of the media were told to her by Conan via text message. She couldn't possibly know what Kogoro Mouri did after making those vows.

We'll have to wait until we get back to the Mouri Detective Agency and ask Kogoro Mouri himself directly.

Hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki nodded thoughtfully.

In that case, she should ask Chen En later. She couldn't let Kogoro Mouri, who always thought he was so great, suddenly lose his job, could she?

As Batman, Chen En definitely knows who the killer is. With his help, there's no need to worry about the uncle losing his job!

Sonoko Suzuki made up her mind.

She planned to go directly to Chen En's apartment building to find him, and then ask him what was going on.

However, that's something to consider later.

Sonoko Suzuki didn't intend to dwell on this issue too much right now. She stroked her chin and then became gossipy.

"Xiao Lan, don't you think both transfer students seem quite popular?"

“Especially Sera.”

"She has a boyish personality, is cheerful and frank, and is also cute."

"Not only that, she's also a female detective who's a Jeet Kune Do master on par with Ran."

Suzuki Sonoko's words prompted Mouri Ran to say thoughtfully,

"Is this kind of androgynous girl style popular now?"

Hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki said with a grin,

"However, the only drawback is that Sera is a rare find among rare gems."

Scarce resources?

Ran Mouri blinked before she remembered.

You might as well just say that Sera Masumi has a flat chest, since Sera Masumi isn't even there.

The next moment, someone quietly appeared between Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, putting an arm around both of them and pulling them closer, saying with a grin,

"I'm really sorry I have a flat chest, but my mom is a real beauty."

"I think there's still room for growth in the future, but the one next to me doesn't have any room for growth at all. By the way, the three of us girls are going home together, why are you following us around?"

Sera Masumi's words attracted the attention of Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki.

They instinctively turned their heads to look to the side, and sure enough, Hondo Eisuke, who didn't get along with Sera Masumi, was right next to them.

"What? Your home isn't in this direction, is it?"

“I saw you come to school by bus this morning. If I’m not mistaken, you must have come from that 30-story hotel, right? I remember there was only one bus at that time.”

Hondo Eisuke pushed up his glasses and stared at Sera Masumi.

He emphasized that,

"I'm Kogoro Mouri's apprentice, you know! I solved cases with him before!"

Ran Mouri: ?

Huh, when did this happen? Why don't I know anything about it...?

However, Hondo Eisuke has indeed been solving cases with his father during this period.

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi narrowed her eyes and retorted,

"Huh? I just wanted to visit the famous detective Kogoro Mouri at the Mouri Detective Agency because I was concerned about my friend's father. What's wrong with that? Is it any of your business?"

"You're not saying you're just using the excuse of becoming Kogoro Mouri's apprentice to actually confess your feelings to the lovely Ran, are you?"

Ran Mouri: ?

Ah, why is this even a matter for me?

However, Sonoko Suzuki only glanced at him before seeing Eisuke Hondo retort, his face slightly flushed.

"W-what? No such thing is true!"

Sonoko Suzuki: !

Could it be that Hondo Eisuke really likes Ran?

Honestly, she really felt that Shinichi Kudo was a better match for Ran than a reckless guy like Eisuke Hondo.

Otherwise, it would be a situation where the impetuous Kogoro Mouri is joined by the impetuous Eisuke Hondo.

Xiao Lan is probably going to be working non-stop all day; she's really become a wishing unicorn.

Sonoko Suzuki immediately thought about sending a message to Shinichi Kudo.

As Sera Masumi and Hondou Eisuke become increasingly at odds.

Ran Mouri also felt a headache.

She didn't know why both transfer students wanted to come to her house to play.

But there's clearly nothing fun to do at her house.

Does this mean I have to go with my dad to the crime scene to solve the case, or to take on a case?

However, in the end, after a fierce confrontation, Sera Masumi made a face at Hondo Eisuke, then darted between Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, taking advantage of being a girl, and carrying both of them away.

Hondo Eisuke could only watch helplessly, after all, a boy who looks like a girl is still a boy.

There's absolutely no comparison between them and girls who look like boys!

However, at that very moment, the passing members of the Junior Detective Club were horrified.

They quickly sent messages to the two members of the Junior Detective Club who hadn't arrived yet, letting them know what was going on.

[Breaking news! Breaking news!]

[We just saw a high school boy walking towards the Mouri Detective Agency with Ran and Sonoko on his arms, one on each side. The world of high school students is terrifying!]

Conan, who is investigating the situation at Shinkyo Ike's house: ?

Ai Haibara, yawning and helping Chen En look for a house: ?

Wow, is that even possible?

Chapter 554 Chen En: You might as well make your point a little clearer.

"Wow, this really is..."

"Could it be Hondo Eisuke again? That guy..."

Conan looked down at the new message on his phone and muttered to himself.

He had always felt that Hondo Eisuke might actually have a crush on Ran, so he would be on high alert every time Hondo Eisuke appeared. Now, seeing the message from the Junior Detective League...

My first thought was that Hondo Eisuke was surrounded by women on either side of him.

The Junior Detective League has yet to meet Hondo Eisuke.

They probably don't even know who Hondo Eisuke is.

That's why the text message only describes Hondo Eisuke as a male high school student. It seems I need to call back later to check on Ran's situation.

Conan frowned, thinking to himself.

However, before Conan could shift his attention to Ran Mouri...

Takagi Wataru had already found a well-wrapped envelope in the deceased Shinkyo Isuke's room, and excitedly said...

"Inspector Megure, Detective Mouri, Conan!"

"Found it! I found the envelope in Shinkyo Ike's room!"

Conan's attention was instantly drawn to the envelope in Wataru Takagi's hand.

Kogoro Mouri and the others were also invigorated.

Inspector Megure immediately took white gloves from the forensic officers nearby.

After putting on the envelope, Inspector Megure carefully and solemnly took the envelope from Wataru Takagi's hand. Under everyone's gaze, he opened the envelope, and the contents inside made Inspector Megure gasp in surprise.

Inspector Megure said incredulously,

"This is a suicide note! It's Shinkyo Isuke's suicide note!"

"Shin-kyo Isuke didn't get murdered, but committed suicide?!"

Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri was also taken aback.

He snatched the letter from Inspector Megure's hand and unfolded it. Takeoka Isao, who was standing next to him, also leaned over, and both of them showed disbelief on the contents of the letter.

If this suicide note from Shinkyo Ike is authentic.

Therefore, it is likely that Shinkyo Ike was not murdered but committed suicide.

The reason for the suicide is clearly stated: it was because Kogoro Mouri insisted on accusing him of being the murderer, and because he could not bear the pressure, he chose to do the same thing as his uncle Ryozo Gamo.
