Now that Shuichi Akai has faked his death, his sister is unlikely to get away with coming to Tokyo at this time. If she is recognized as Shuichi Akai's sister, she will be in big trouble.

Although Ai Haibara didn't have a very good impression of Dai Moroboshi.

However, this does not mean she can stand idly by and watch Shuichi Akai's sister fall into crisis in Beika Town.

However, Ai Haibara knew that it was probably not convenient for her to meet with Sera Masumi or Akai Mary.

As an intelligence organization with British ties, MI6 has always had a rather low international reputation, at most slightly better than the Japanese Public Security Bureau. It would be troublesome if Mary Akai and Masumi Sera were to betray them.

Ai Haibara frowned and asked,

"But I still can't understand why you're rushing back at such a high speed."

"At this point in time, Shinichi Kudo should be at Shinkyo Isuke's house with Kogoro Mouri conducting an investigation. He's not at the Mouri Detective Agency at all, even if Sera Masumi wanted to talk to Conan."

"Sera Masumi couldn't possibly find Conan, so naturally she couldn't get any information from him."

"Could it be that Sera Masumi is so dangerous? So dangerous that if we don't go back now, she will pose a huge threat to others?"

Hearing this, Chen En shook his head slightly and said in a low voice,

"Sera's purity is not important."

"The important thing is that, in my memory, Sera Masumi, Ran Mouri, and Sonoko went to the Mouri Detective Agency arm in arm, were witnessed by members of the Junior Detective League, and then sent the dirt to Conan and your phones."

"This action directly points to a serious explosion."

"A man, because of the death of his sister, lured all the suspects to the Mouri Detective Agency, then strapped explosives to his body, held a gun, and threatened Kogoro Mouri to help him solve the case and find the real killer."

"Otherwise, we'll detonate the bomb and kill everyone."

Chen En said earnestly,

"And right now, Kogoro Mouri is not at the Mouri Detective Agency."

If that's the case, wouldn't that be terrible?

A look of surprise appeared in Ai Haibara's eyes.

If a criminal who wants to take hostages and force Kogoro Mouri to deduce the truth enters the Mouri Detective Agency and displays the murder weapon, only to find that Kogoro Mouri is not in the Mouri Detective Agency.

That could very well escalate to the point where all the suspects are taken on the road together, right?

"Has Noah's Ark made contact with Sonoko yet?"

Chen En's gaze fell on the road ahead, and he inquired about Noah's Ark.

Meanwhile, the sound of Noah's Ark was playing from the car stereo.

"The call is not currently being answered."

"According to the surveillance footage from the apartment, Ms. Sonoko has entered the Mouri Detective Agency with Ran Mouri, Eisuke Hondo, and an unknown high school girl who is suspected to be Sera Masumi."

"After that, four more people entered the Mori Detective Agency, three women and one man."

"Should we contact the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Rapid Deployment Unit now?"

Chen En's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Okay, let them come. At least they can finish up the work and contact Inspector Megure while they're at it."

If he speeds all the way from the outskirts of the city, it should only take him five minutes to get back to Beika Town.

Hopefully, Sera Masumi and Hondou Eisuke can hold out for at least five minutes.

Chapter 556 The Sudden Kidnapping

Ran Mouri, along with Sonoko Suzuki, Masumi Sera, and Eisuke Hondo, arrived downstairs at the Mouri Detective Agency.

She glanced at Sera Masumi and Hondo Eisuke, who were still arguing back and forth, and couldn't help but sigh. She didn't know why things had suddenly developed to this point, as if all the transfer students had inexplicably become involved with her.

The signboard girl at Polo Cafe greeted Ran Mouri at the counter.

Ran Mouri reached out in response, then picked up her bag and led the three of them upstairs.

Upon reaching the second floor, Ran Mouri rummaged through her bag for her keys, while simultaneously giving Sera Masumi and Hondo Eisuke a heads-up.

"When I went to high school this morning, my dad and Conan went to investigate a case together."

"So I'm not sure if they've gone home at this time, but I think it's unlikely, so don't get your hopes up too high."

Behind Ran Mouri, Eisuke Hondo and Masumi Sera nodded repeatedly.

Then, the two transfer students looked at each other again.

Sonoko Suzuki stood beside Ran Mouri, carrying her bag in both hands, and turned to look at Eisuke Hondo and Masumi Sera behind her, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Why are these two transfer students so eager to come to the Mouri Detective Agency?

Could it be that he really came to see Uncle Mori to improve his detective skills? Wow, that seems so unlikely…

pat.

Ran Mouri used her key to unlock the door on the second floor of the Mouri Detective Agency.

Then, she grabbed the doorknob, pushed the door open, and led the other three Teitan High School students into the classroom. Behind them, Sonoko Suzuki, Masumi Sera, and Eisuke Hondo also filed in.

However, Sera Masumi only glanced at it before saying with some regret,

"Huh, is Detective Mouri not at the agency?"

Moreover, Conan Edogawa, who looks exactly like Shinichi Kudo when he was a child, is not with Kogoro Mouri. It seems that today's trip was a waste.

Standing next to Sera Masumi, Hondo Eisuke didn't have much to say about it.

He also participated in the investigation and deduction of the murder case of Ryozo Gamo yesterday, so he naturally knows how important the Ryozo Gamo case is and how crucial it is to Kogoro Mouri.

If he were Kogoro Mouri, he would also risk everything to investigate a case that challenges his reputation like this.

Besides, according to Hondo Eisuke's investigation, Kogoro Mouri hadn't taken on any ordinary requests during this period.

He had anticipated this scene.

Moreover, Hondo Eisuke could have come or not, but the reason he insisted on coming along was entirely because he felt that Sera Masumi had ill intentions, and he was worried about Sera Masumi going home alone with Suzuki Sonoko and Mori Ran.

Aside from that, it's all about saving face.

As the saying goes, "Buddha fights for a stick of incense, man fights for a breath of air."

Sera Masumi is a transfer student, and so is he.

Could it be that Sera Masumi came, and he can't come?

"Right? I said before that Dad and Conan might not be at the agency at this time."

"By the time they finish their investigation and return, I don't know when that will be."

Ran Mouri shook her head and said this.

Meanwhile, Sonoko Suzuki casually found a seat and sat down, acting as if she were at home, and said relaxedly.

"Oh well, it doesn't matter."

"Whether the uncle is here or not, we still play the same game, don't we?"

"We can even have more fun when Uncle isn't home. So, in that sense, it's not such a bad thing that Uncle isn't home, right, Bentang?"

Upon hearing this, Hondou Eisuke nodded repeatedly, then said in a sarcastic tone,

"Yes, yes, I didn't come to the Mori Detective Agency just to get closer to Detective Mori."

"I won't be like some people who would rush off as soon as they hear Detective Mouri isn't at the office."

Sera Masumi:?

With nearly ten years of Jeet Kune Do training, can you withstand this punch?

If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!

Sera Masumi's eyes turned somewhat dangerous.

Putting aside everything else, she has an overwhelming advantage over Hondo Eisuke in terms of combat power.

Three punches to knock Hondo Eisuke to the ground, then turning him into hero fragments wouldn't be a problem.

After all, after Mary Akai shrunk, there were times when her mother couldn't carry out the MI6 missions alone, and Mary had to go with her to complete those missions.

She's a true practitioner, completely different from those dojo-style brats.

It was as if she could sense the dangerous gaze of Sera Masumi.

Hondo Eisuke immediately sat down on the sofa.

This time, he sat up straight immediately, placed his hands on his thighs, and looked like a good student, adopting a style of being arrogant at first but then obsequious.

Sera Masumi was completely speechless.

She was caught in a dilemma: to take action or not to take action.

We can't exactly find a sack, put it over Hondo Eisuke's head as soon as he leaves the Mouri Detective Agency, and then beat him up to vent our anger, can we?

"Then I'll stay here for a while too."

"Maybe Detective Mouri will be back with that child soon."

Sera Masumi eventually sat down on the sofa, but her gaze inevitably fell on Hondo Eisuke, making Hondo Eisuke feel rather uneasy.

Sonoko Suzuki, who was sitting next to Sera Masumi, didn't sense anything was wrong.

She was just about to gossip with Ran about the strange tales and legends inside Teitan High School when she saw someone push the door open and enter. Upon closer inspection, she could tell that the three people were all middle-aged women in their forties or fifties.

What's going on? Did they come to Uncle Mori for a request?

Sonoko Suzuki raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious.

As the host, Ran Mouri stood up and said somewhat apologetically,

"I'm sorry, ladies, Dad isn't home yet."

"If you have any requests, could you please come later, or tomorrow?"

"Or leave your contact information, and I will give it to Dad when he gets back."
