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

Yuya Kazami is currently suspended from his duties pending investigation.

As for Morofushi Takaaki, a police officer who was not part of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, he was reported to the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters by the Japanese Public Security Bureau. The Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters demanded that Morofushi Takaaki return to Nagano Prefecture as soon as possible to continue performing his duties.

At that time, Morofushi Takaaki seemed quite interested in Hattori Heiji.

Perhaps Morofushi Takaaki will specifically invite Hattori Heiji to Nagano Prefecture; in any case, given Hattori Heiji's personality, he certainly wouldn't refuse Morofushi Takaaki's invitation.

Upon hearing this, Noah's Ark immediately began retrieving ticket purchase information from various stations.

Sure enough, the names of Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama appeared in the ticket information for the train that Chen En and Sonoko Suzuki took to Nagano Prefecture to watch a movie.

After learning of Heiji Hattori's whereabouts from Chen En, Noah's Ark immediately sent the information back to Conan inside the Mouri Detective Agency.

Although Hattori Heiji was surprised that he had been invited by Morofushi Takaaki to Nagano Prefecture.

However, Conan doesn't have time to deal with this kind of thing right now.

Because of renewed disputes within the Mouri Detective Agency, she stormed into the agency and argued with Kogoro Mouri about matters related to Mikio Fujieda.

Eri Kisaki intended for Kogoro Mouri to refuse the commission and return the commission fee.

It's clear she didn't believe Ran Mouri's claim, made at noon, that Kogoro Mouri's sudden wealth was due to commissions from a TV detective show.

However, Kogoro Mouri stubbornly insisted on his words.

"You want me to get a refund? I definitely can't. I've already spent 8 million of the 10 million yen."

"Isn't it just protecting Fujieda Mikio? As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I used to be an elite detective in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. What's protecting one person?"

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki flew into a rage once again.

Seeing the two arguing endlessly, Conan scratched the back of his head and simply went outside to make a phone call to Hattori Heiji, while also showing off his powerful investigative abilities.

When he heard Hattori Heiji exclaim in surprise, "How did you know I'm in Nagano Prefecture right now?"

He felt a surge of pride.

Chen En once said that connections are also part of a detective's ability. If I can get Chen En and Noah's Ark to help with the investigation and reasoning, isn't that a manifestation of my detective ability?

Even the real Sherlock Holmes needed Watson and the Baker Street team as his helpers!

"...I'm really impressed with you, you can't hide anything from me."

Hattori Heiji muttered.

Do you know if there's a place called the Hope Pavilion in Xinye County?

"It doesn't matter whether you know it or not. The origin of the House of Hope is that six talented and hopeful young people lived there. However, three years ago, one of the six, Mizuhashi Aoi, died in her room due to mental illness, and the six were separated."

"And three years later, on the anniversary of Mizuhashi Aoi's death, her husband Akashi Shusaku starved to death in his room."

"I was asked by Morofushi Takaaki to investigate with two police officers over there, one named Yamato Kansuke and the other named Uehara Yui. Honestly, I'm investigating now, but that guy is nowhere to be found. It's infuriating."

Is there really such a significant case in Xinye County?

A hint of surprise appeared in Conan's eyes.

It sounds like the type that could kill five or six people at once.

He hadn't solved a case solo in a long time, and now that Hattori Heiji was talking about it, he was really itching to get started. It was a pity he couldn't get away for the time being, otherwise, a trip to Nagano Prefecture this time would have been worthwhile...

Chapter 1052 Although he forgot many things, he never forgot to love you.

Just as Conan was telling Heiji Hattori that he had to deal with the case, with mixed feelings.

The arguing inside the room finally stopped temporarily.

Then Kogoro Mouri, as the head of the family, was temporarily asked to leave.

He arrived at the platform of the internal staircase and immediately sighed, unsure of what to say. In the end, he decided to first investigate the important matter and see if his friends could help him.

Although he accepted the commission to protect Fujieda Mikio.

However, Kogoro Mouri has not yet actually checked on Mikio Fujieda's situation. Now, Eri Kisaki's advice not to protect Mikio Fujieda has only fueled his competitive spirit.

Even if you tell me not to go, I'll still go anyway, and show you what I'm capable of.

Besides that, he simply didn't have the 800 million yuan in entrusted funds in his savings account, so he couldn't afford to lose money.

Although he could borrow some money from old acquaintances and make ends meet, he would rather finish the commission than owe money to them. Don't ask, he just cares about his reputation.

I, the great detective Kogoro Mouri, have always been a hero of my time. How could I possibly borrow money from a friend for such a small amount?

Kogoro Mouri was about to leave in a huff when he noticed Conan standing next to the landing. A look of confusion crossed his eyes. He then grabbed Conan by the back of his collar and threw him into the room.

"Honestly, kid, don't wander around so late."

He muttered to himself as he left the Mouri Detective Agency and got into the rented car.

Conan, who had originally wanted to eavesdrop on Ran Mouri and Eri Kisaki's conversation outside the Mouri Detective Agency, was suddenly picked up and thrown inside, making him feel somewhat embarrassed.

However, it's clear that Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri don't treat Conan like a human being at all.

They continued their conversation as usual, leaving Conan with a feeling of unrequited love.

However, Ran and Eri's conversation was soon interrupted by the sound of Kogoro Mouri's car engine. They turned to look at Kogoro Mouri driving away, not knowing what to say at first.

Ran Mouri said hesitantly.

"Dad is still out so late, should I go and call him back?"

Although the Beika Town in this world is not as dangerous as the Beika Town in the Hanazawa world.

However, on the other hand, Kogoro Mouri, who is always wandering around the world of Fanzawa, will always have his daughter Ran Mouri, who has an explosive fighting ability, appear by his side whenever he encounters danger.

The Kogoro Mouri of this world doesn't have such special abilities, and he can't be summoned at any time.

However, Eri Kisaki said in an annoyed tone.

"Just leave him alone, let him die out there."

"How old are you? You're always arguing here. You can't stand a few words. You've had this temper since you were a child. I don't know when you'll be able to change."

When the keyword "from childhood to adulthood" was mentioned, Ran Mouri immediately thought of Ruri Amashiro.

However, just as she started to mention that detective reasoning show, Eri Kisaki immediately realized that Ran Mouri wanted to talk about Ruri Amashiro, so she casually helped Kogoro and Ran Mouri organize their clothes in the closet and said...

“I know, but I’m different from your dad. I always go to my high school reunions.”

"How about it? Isn't Liuli even prettier than you see on TV? The reason your father was invited to that detective and mystery show was because of Liuli's idea..."

"But if you ask me, we should just not invite him. Let him take the money and go out to eat and drink recklessly."

As Eri packed her clothes, she looked out at the snowy scenery.

It had indeed snowed in Tokyo just now. Although it wasn't a lot of snow, it had laid a thin layer on the ground. She frowned slightly and turned to look at Ran Mouri, who was dressed as lightly as ever.

Then he opened the wardrobe and selected a gray one from among many plush lined garments for Ran Mouri.

There was also a black plush lining next to it, but Eri Kisaki didn't even glance at it, which puzzled Ran Mouri.

"Mom, why did you give me this gray dress instead of the black one?"

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Of course, it's because gray is much warmer than black."

"It's the color of mouse gray, just like animal fur..."

She had just finished speaking.

Ran and Conan, both at the Mouri Detective Agency, simultaneously recalled a line from a deduction that Kogoro Mouri and Yoshiteru Kazami had made in the lobby of that villa.

[Of course, it's because a gray tablecloth is much warmer than a black suit jacket!]

Ran Mouri, who had been somewhat worried about the relationship between Kogoro Mouri and Ruri Amashiro, suddenly laughed.

This left Eri Kisaki feeling completely bewildered.

Did she find what she said funny?

Conan, standing nearby, felt a mix of emotions.

Who would have thought that Kogoro Mouri's seemingly nonsensical reasoning was actually based on Eri Kisaki's belief that gray was warmer than black?

I've even forgotten that, but I still remember that gray is warmer than black.

what is this?

Although he has forgotten many things, he has never forgotten to love you.

He really did make me cry. Let's start caring for people with Alzheimer's disease from ourselves.

That is, Kogoro Mouri, who is currently driving to investigate Mikio Fujieda, is probably thinking about which nursing home to send Kogoro Mouri to.

Otherwise, he would have driven straight back and given Conan a good punch to help him quit his internet addiction.

However, when the topic of class reunion came up...

Ran Mouri suddenly asked with some curiosity.

"Mom, do you often attend your high school classmates' reunions?"

"What about high school reunions? Are they the same?"

These words left Eri Kisaki, who had just finished tidying up her wardrobe, puzzled.

She blinked and answered directly.

"Of course, silly boy."

"High school is more unforgettable for me than middle school..."

As soon as he said that, Ran Mouri immediately remembered it and said with a smile.

"Is it because of what happened to Princess Teitan back then?"

"It is said that it was a unanimous election, and many beauties participated."

"The final showdown is between the princess of Teitan High School, who is not only sweet and charming but also has superb acting skills. She debuted with a distinctive image and received worldwide media attention, and the queen of Teitan High School, who is both beautiful and talented and passed the University of Tokyo entrance exam with her outstanding intelligence. She was recommended to study at Harvard at the age of 16."

"It's really hard to believe that she's my and Shinichi's mother."
