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

He sighed, patted Chen En on the shoulder, and said.

"I should have put you at the kids' table."

Chen En: ?

He glanced sideways at Sonoko Suzuki, who was boasting to the children about her talent as a mystery queen, paused for a moment, and finally spoke.

"There's no need for that. My skills aren't that advanced yet."

After speaking, Chen En turned his gaze to sweep over the people in the banquet hall.

He already knew that the Shadow Cabinet was hidden among many of Tokyo's celebrities, and now that almost all the truly prominent figures were here, perhaps he could glean some clues from this place...

After all, nothing usually happens in Beika Town during the day, right?

Chapter 1059 The Death of Kogoro Mouri

"...Please help me..."

"Miss Yoko, I really can't eat anymore..."

Inside the Mouri Detective Agency.

The famous detective Kogoro Mouri was lying on the sofa talking nonsense, and Eri Kisaki and others suddenly appeared beside him.

Ran Mouri swallowed.

She looked up at the TV program "Yoko Okino's Four-Minute Cooking Time" and suddenly had a brilliant idea to defend Kogoro Mouri. However, she didn't expect that Conan would bring it up first.

Then, the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student spoke seriously.

"It is said that people can be disturbed by external noises even when they are asleep."

"Auntie Fei, maybe Uncle Mori really did mention your name earlier, but he changed his story because they're broadcasting Ms. Okino Yoko's 4-minute cooking segment right now?"

Of course, this might be the case for other people.

But if it were an older man...

Hard to say.

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri nodded quickly, appearing to agree.

However, Eri Kisaki simply adjusted her glasses.

Just like Conan's glasses, which flash with a strange white light when he finds crucial evidence at a crime scene, Eri's glasses also flashed with a strange white light.

This seems to indicate that Kogoro Mouri's end is near.

She spoke calmly, seemingly without anger.

"Since you already owe ten million yen, let me see the letter of authorization and the contract first."

Although Eri Kisaki appeared calm.

However, Ran Mouri, who knows Eri Kisaki quite well, knows that this is just the calm before the storm, and a storm could break out on the sea at any moment.

At that point, Kogoro Mouri will probably have to be carried out.

Ran Mouri didn't dare to offend Eri Kisaki at this time.

She quickly turned around and searched for the protection contract that Kogoro Mouri had signed with Mikio Fujieda in the restaurant. After a short while, she took out the contract and placed it in front of Eri Kisaki.

Eri Kisaki glanced at it and immediately noticed the loopholes in the contract.

That's right, the request was indeed to have Kogoro Mouri investigate the Fujieda Mikio family.

However, the core point is not about protecting the client, because it is not mentioned in the terms above. It only says that it is necessary to investigate who exactly wants to kill Fujieda Mikio and who sent the letter of commission.

In other words, even if Mikio Fujieda died on the spot after they arrived.

Fujieda Mikio should still pay the entrusted money as it is due, even if it is deducted from his estate.

However, Eri Kisaki didn't say it out loud. She kept it to herself, planning to teach Kogoro a small lesson when she returned, so that he wouldn't take on any more jobs recklessly and waste money.

But her face remained as gloomy as ever.

The white light on the lens never dissipated, so much so that Ran Mouri and Conan, who were standing nearby, couldn't see Eri Kisaki's eyes, making Conan think that this white light on the lens was quite unscientific.

Ran Mouri said somewhat uneasily.

"Mom, are you still angry with Dad?"

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki smiled and simply said...

"How could that be? In the adult world, what's the point of getting angry or not?"

Do I look like the kind of person who would get angry over something so trivial?

As she spoke, that oppressive aura intensified once again.

Even Conan, who has relatively low emotional intelligence, noticed it and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

What? You've always been this kind of person.

If you don't get angry, I'll eat at Kogoro Mouri's table.

Just as Eri Kisaki was putting the contract into her pocket and looking through the letter of authorization to learn the details of the commission, Kogoro Mouri's voice suddenly rang out.

"Yoko! Don't retire from acting! How can I live without you, Yoko! Yoko!"

At that very moment, the program being broadcast on the television station also came to an end.

Eri Kisaki gripped the letter of authorization tightly.

The letter was visibly crumpled, showing that Eri's anger was already on the surface and was not something that could be easily quelled.

However, Kogoro Mouri remained completely unaware of this.

She even turned over, her back to Eri, looking like she was sleeping soundly, completely unaware that a flood was raging behind her, only caring about sleeping peacefully.

At this point, even Conan and Ran Mouri couldn't salvage the situation for Kogoro Mouri.

The two exchanged a glance and finally decided to step outside for a moment, giving their spot to Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri to spend time together and avoid any unforeseen complications.

Just as Ran Mouri and Conan pushed open the door, they heard Eri Kisaki's soft voice behind them.

"Kogoro Mouri, I'm here to kill you!"

This person has already found a way to die!

Nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine horses of power! Tianwu kills the way and cuts off the way of the husband!

The next instant, Ran Mouri and Conan heard screams coming from inside the house.

"Ah! Who is plotting against me?"

"...How come it's you, you old woman...Hey, hey, hey, don't hit my face! You can't afford to pay for it if you damage my handsome face! Yamei, stop it, darling, even a day as husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness!"

Then, Ran Mouri heard Kogoro Mouri scream in agony.

"Xiao Lan, help me!"

Ran Mouri paused for a moment, then turned her head to look into the distance.

Kogoro Mouri? It must be my imagination...

Let's look at the cars in the distance instead.

Family, this car looks like a real car!

If they can't even manage Ran Mouri, Conan certainly won't.

He was naturally pleased to see Eri Kisaki sacrifice her own family for the greater good.

Who told Kogoro Mouri to use the Mouri God Fist on his head every day? Otherwise, he might have been able to stop him at this moment. It can only be said that he brought this upon himself.

The screams inside the house continued for a few minutes before abruptly stopping.

Ran Mouri peeked inside, a little worried.

Eri, having already picked up her bag, walked out of the house looking refreshed, gently nudging Ran Mouri to turn her head back, and simply said...

"Stop looking. I know my limits. He's just asleep."

"Just giving him a little lesson."

...Are you asleep?

real or fake?

Although somewhat hesitant, Ran Mouri obediently nodded.

Only then did he leave with Eri Kisaki, while Conan peeked out and noticed that there seemed to be a rope wrapped around the sofa. He immediately stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

It was quite a fun game, but unfortunately I can't eat three big bowls of rice with tears in my eyes today.

He thoughtfully closed the door to prevent the loud crying inside from attracting other people. Saving Kogoro Mouri would be a minor issue, but ruining the wonderful opportunity for Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki to repair their relationship would be a major one!

Chapter 1060 Those who are not family will not enter the same door.

In the car, Eri Kisaki's gaze remained fixed on the letter of authorization.

The letter of authorization stated that the client, Mikio Fujieda, found the murder notice and bullet casings under his pillow. There were two murder notices in total, both printed out.

The first one reads, "Watch out for what's behind you," and the second one reads, "I'll send you to the Western Paradise."

To be honest, Eri Kisaki couldn't quite understand why a sentence had to be printed on two separate sheets of paper.

Could it be that the printer the killer used could only print this much text, and one sheet of paper simply wasn't enough, so they split it into two? That could be considered a small clue...

However, according to the description in the letter of authorization by Mikio Fujieda.

The other party believed that the only people who could have left the shell casings and the letter of authorization under his pillow were the people inside the manor.

Therefore, these two murder notices were most likely printed using the printer inside the manor. Even if we obtained this small clue, it probably wouldn't be of much use.
