Kogoro Mouri asked curiously.

Faced with Kogoro Mouri's question, Ruri Amashiro could only say with a hint of helplessness.

"Of course I also disapprove of Kazami Yoshiteru's actions, but..."

"The reason I participated in this program is because this detective reasoning program has recently achieved high ratings and popularity, so the company specifically requested me to participate in this program."

"As an artist signed with the company, I naturally cannot go against the company's business requirements."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but click his tongue in disbelief.

It has to be said that the artists signed by the company don't have much freedom.

However, in Japan's environment, artists who are not signed with a company don't even have the qualifications to participate in programs and debut, which is truly lamentable.

It was thanks to Yukiko Kudo's wisdom that she shifted her focus to the United States, allowing her to retire from acting without constraints.

Watching Kogoro Mouri chatting happily with Ruri Amashiro, Ran Mouri, standing to the side, couldn't find an opportunity to join in. It was as if, just as Kogoro Mouri had said, she had become the neighbor's daughter.

For a moment, Ran Mouri was so anxious that she paced around in circles.

Conan, standing nearby, kept glancing at the other three actors in this skit.

First, there was Nagumo Akira, who had previously clashed with Kazami Yoshiteru, and then there were the young men and women around Nagumo Akira.

The young man next to Nan Yunxiao looked quite similar to Nan Yunxiao, so they should be related by blood. The woman next to him was interacting quite intimately with the young man, so they were probably a couple.

After asking the crew members next to him, Conan confirmed his suspicions.

The young man was Nagumo Akira's son, Nagumo Nobuharu, and the woman was Nagumo Nobuharu's girlfriend, Namihara Kasumi.

He felt that the couple was unlikely to be the murderers, because Kasumi Namihara was clearly a materialistic type, but she still cared about their relationship and was unwilling to break up with Nobuharu Nagumo.

Her words were all urging Nagumo Shinsei to get used to smoking so that he could move away from being a second-tier actor.

Mr. Nobuharu Nagumo doesn't smoke at all, but because many characters in Japanese sitcoms need to smoke, he has to fake smoking by holding a smoke ring in his mouth and exhaling it during filming.

Kasumi Namihara probably thinks this is why Nobuharu Nagumo has only been able to play a second-tier actor so far.

But in Conan's eyes, the fact that Nobuharu Nagumo is still a second-tier actor has nothing to do with this. It's purely because his acting skills are terrible. After all, a star without acting skills or connections can't possibly become a big star.

Not everyone can become a shooting star like Yukiko Kudo, streaking across the sky of the entertainment industry.

These things are not important. What is important is that since Kasumi Namihara wants Nobuharu Nagumo to take things further, she will not offend Yoshiteru Kazami, who has the resources. And since Nobuharu Nagumo is henpecked, he will naturally go along with Kasumi Namihara's wishes.

Therefore, there are only two people who could be the perpetrators.

One is Ruri Amashiro, who is currently talking to Kogoro Mouri, and the other is Akira Nagumo.

The reason why Kazami Yoshiteru targets Mouri Kogoro is probably related to Ameshiro Ruri. Therefore, Ameshiro Ruri and Kazami Yoshiteru must have had many conflicts, and their relationship is quite bad.

Of course, generally speaking, Yu Cheng Liuli's strength is not enough to kill someone easily without leaving a trace.

But this is Beika Town. Never use common sense about solving cases outside the town to judge ordinary citizens of Beika Town, otherwise you will end up like Inspector Megure and his gang, being whipped around by various cases.

Besides that, there's Nagumo Akira, because Conan noticed that Nagumo Akira seemed to pay a lot of attention to Ameshiro Ruri.

From the moment Ruri Amatsuki and Kogoro Mouri started talking, Akira Nagumo had been watching closely. Now, seeing the two chatting and laughing, Akira couldn't help but walk over and lead Kogoro Mouri outside.

The two clearly intended to have a friendly exchange outside, and might even practice some martial arts.

Although Conan wasn't late, he felt he still had the right to listen in.

Therefore, while Ran Mouri's attention was completely focused on Ruri Amashiro, he quietly slipped out, hid behind the door, and eavesdropped on the conversation between Akira Nagumo and Kogoro Mouri.

Nan Yunxiao's opening words startled Conan.

"Detective Mouri, I hope you can stay away from Ruri in the future."

"I know you're a nationally renowned detective, but I also know about the rumors surrounding you. If you get too close to Liuli, and these rumors spread from the crew members..."

"This will be a significant blow to Liuli's future, both in terms of his acting career and his career as a singer."

"Of course, if you insist on continuing this entanglement with Liuli, then I am quite skilled in martial arts, and I am sure I can persuade you to give up your original plans."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri was taken aback.

You think you're so proficient in some martial arts?

Are you sure you want to fight me one-on-one?

Very good, you're full of energy. Don't think I won't beat you up just because you're in your sixties. If you really lay a hand on me, I'll have you lying on the ground in no time. You came in upright and you'll leave sideways!

However, Kogoro Mouri still managed to glean a deeper meaning from the implication.

He secretly had an idea in his mind.

Meanwhile, Conan, who was eavesdropping, became even more certain of his original guess.

It seems that the murderer will be Mr. Nagumo Akira.

He now has ample motive to kill!

Chapter 1047 I would call you, Kogoro Mouri, the strongest!

The break during filming passed quickly.

The director figured that Yoshiki Kazami should be waking up soon, so he asked the crew to set up the location for the next scene. But that was all; they didn't ask the other actors to come along.

The only requirement was that the other actors' phones remain on so that they could contact each other after Yoshiki Kazami returned to the set, thus preventing any delays in the filming schedule.

However, despite this, the place is far from the city center, so the actors don't have much else to do.

Nobuharu Nagumo and Kasumi Namihara are still chatting in the same room they were in before.

They fully utilized their strengths as a couple, so even if a heinous murder did occur, they could each serve as each other's alibi, clearing each other of suspicion.

Meanwhile, Ruri Amatsuki was taking a walk with Ran Mouri in the villa's corridor.

As she admired the scenery outside the window, she told Ran Mouri about the various funny stories that Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki had during their elementary and middle school years... She could also be considered one of Kogoro Mouri's childhood friends.

However, after finishing high school, she transferred to another school.

As Ran listened to Ruri Amashiro's words, she began to imagine what Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki were like during their middle school years, and she was quite moved.

Normally, Ruri Amashiro should be chatting with Kogoro Mouri.

However, after Kogoro Mouri was called out for a chat by Akira Nagumo, he disappeared without a trace as soon as it was free time. As Ran Mouri's elder, she couldn't leave Ran Mouri alone in the villa to go find Kogoro Mouri.

So I decided to bring my child here.

Despite this, Yu Cheng Liuli was rather curious.

It's one thing for Kogoro Mouri to have disappeared.

Why did even the elementary school student in the blue suit disappear?

If Ran Mouri hadn't explained Conan's true identity to her during their conversation, she probably would have thought that Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri had gotten back together and had another child.

However, just as Yu Cheng Liuli led Mo Li Ran towards the corner of the corridor, her expression suddenly changed.

Because inside the villa, a convex mirror was placed at each corner of the corridor, so that people at both ends of the corridor could see people in the other corridor without turning a corner.

Of course, Yu Cheng Liuli didn't know what the villa owner's mentality was that led him to install such a thing at the corner of the villa.

However, I suppose it's just the self-discipline of a typical citizen of Beika Town.

Now, through this convex mirror, Yu Cheng Liu Li could clearly see the figures of Kogoro Mouri, Conan, and Akira Nagumo outside Yoshiki Kazami's room in another corridor.

Although it is unclear what exactly happened.

However, seeing Nan Yunxiao's somewhat flustered expression, Yu Cheng Liuli knew, even without asking, that Nan Yunxiao was probably doing something unspeakable that had been discovered by others.

She hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should take Xiaolan with her.

Others may not know, but Yu Cheng Liuli herself knows it better than anyone else.

Nan Yunxiao is not, as the crew members have rumored, Yu Cheng Liuli's secret rendezvous partner... No, that's not quite right. To be precise, they are indeed secret rendezvous partners, but their relationship is not that of lovers or romantic partners.

They were father and daughter.

Yu Cheng Liuli is Nan Yunxiao's illegitimate daughter.

After discovering their striking resemblance to each other by chance, the two found an opportunity to openly discuss the matter in a coffee shop, finally confirming their father-daughter relationship.

However, Nan Yunxiao herself also has a family, and her eldest son is about to get married.

Therefore, Yu Cheng Liuli did not acknowledge Nan Yunxiao as her father.

However, out of guilt towards Yu Cheng Liuli, Nan Yunxiao would still visit Yu Cheng Liuli from time to time to express the fatherly love he had lacked for many years, but it was precisely because of this that many rumors arose.

Although she didn't know what Nan Yunxiao was planning to do.

But most of them are related to Yoshiteru Kazami...

Ran Mouri was a little puzzled, but her gaze was immediately drawn to the snowflakes drifting in from outside the window.

At this very moment, it has already started snowing in Tokyo.

"Miss Yucheng, it's snowing today."

"October should still be autumn..."

Ran Mouri pressed her hands against the transparent glass of the corridor, seemingly longing for the snowy scenery outside.

This scene made Yu Cheng Liu Li make up her mind. She looked up at Mo Li Kogoro, who was already negotiating with Nan Yun Xiao, and chose to believe her former friend before smiling and saying.

"Shall we go out and see the snow?"

"Such rare snowfall should be appreciated; it would be a real shame not to take a good look at it."

Ran Mouri is perfectly fine with it.

The sight of the two walking out of the villa also attracted the attention of the crew members, as well as Nobuharu Nagumo and Kasumi Namihara, who were originally in the room.

Feeling that it was rather strange for snow to fall in autumn, they went out with them.

Suddenly, only five people remained in the villa.

Nan Yunxiao naturally heard Yu Cheng Liuli's voice as well.

His mood darkened slightly, but he finally sighed and said.
