Kogoro Mouri's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Should we use reasoning to decide whether to go to Koshien or Takarazuka?

Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama exchanged a glance.

Their gazes immediately swept over the people sitting at the table, and they decided to each form a small team to see who could win the reasoning competition.

However, just as Hattori Heiji was eagerly wanting Mori Kogoro to set the questions...

But he saw Kogoro Mouri pause in surprise, and he quickly waved his hand and said.

"I didn't set the question."

"I mean, Inspector Megure contacted me before, saying there was a murder case and he wanted my help to solve it, but when I arrived at the scene, I didn't see anything unusual, so the crime scene has remained unchanged."

"If we're going to decide the winner through a reasoning competition, then let's focus on solving the case."

"Whoever finds the real culprit of that murder can decide where to go on vacation. If Kazuha wins, we'll go to Takarazuka; if Heiji wins, we'll go to Koshien."

He also really wanted to go to Koshien to watch the final.

However, the thought of the beautiful women performing in Takarazuka made him somewhat tempted, and he couldn't decide between the two options, which is why he proposed using a deduction competition to decide which side to go with.

However, upon hearing this, Chen En subconsciously looked up at Kogoro Mouri.

His eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of doubt in them.

Inspector Megure contacted you earlier to help solve a murder case?

What murder case? How come I don't know anything about it? Is there a murder case in Beika Town that I, Chen En, don't know about? Is there an internal conversation in your Mouri Detective Agency that I can't hear?

Not only did Chen En subconsciously look up, but Conan did too.

A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Because Conan was unaware that Kogoro Mouri had received a call for assistance from Inspector Megure, and he had no recollection of it, even though he was staying at the Mouri Detective Agency.

Could it be that the murderer possesses such great supernatural powers?

How could they possibly manage to secretly carry out a heinous murder without the knowledge of Noah's Ark, Chen En, and Conan?

However, Hattori Heiji had not yet figured out the crux of the matter and asked in confusion.

"A murder case? What murder case? Tell me about it."

He found this unsurprising.

Beika Town is a place full of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It's perfectly normal for murders to happen anytime. Chen En and Conan aren't gods. How could they possibly know about every single heinous murder case?

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri then brought up the case that Inspector Megure had previously requested him to respond to.

"That happened last month."

Chen En, Conan: ?

What happened last month was truly something else entirely.

Are you kidding me? The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department dragged out a whole month without closing a heinous murder case? Normally, wouldn't they just label it an unnatural death and close the case if it wasn't closed within three to five days?

Or was the deceased simply so unpopular that no one even bothered to inquire about him?

Therefore, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was not under pressure and was able to continue the investigation.

Kogoro Mouri then recounted the specific details of the case.

That happened in the middle of last month.

At that point in time, Chen En either hadn't yet transmigrated, or he was still planning how to set up a big operation for Phantom Thief Kid on the Queen Cerissa White to complete his initial special mission.

The deceased was the president of Tani Toys Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

His full name is Gu Xianren.

Although Mr. Tani Kenji is the president of Tani Toys Manufacturing Co., Ltd., he is not very popular within the company. It can be said that the staff only know Iwatomi Sou as the vice director and are unaware of Tani Kenji as the president.

And coincidentally, the location is right here.

There are four suspects in this case.

They are respectively: Vice President Iwatomi Sou, Planner Shikio, Sales Atsushi Hasami, and Manager Aiko Nao.

This included all the senior executives of Tani Toys Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and most coincidentally, these four people had even gathered and dined at Iwatoshi's house before the bodies were discovered.

If it weren't for the fact that joint projects rarely occur in Beika Town...

The police also determined that the alibis of the four suspects were insufficient, and the murderer was very likely among them. They might arrest all four of them and convict them as a joint criminal.

"That does sound a bit troublesome."

"If the four suspects all knew each other and had communicated about interests, and even sidelined Gu Xianren, who was originally the president of the company, then there must have been some kind of cover-up between them?"

Heiji Hattori stroked his chin.

"No wonder you also think this case is difficult to solve, sir."

"However, whether we can solve the case and who will win this reasoning competition remains to be seen until we go to the crime scene. Uncle Mori, could you please contact Inspector Megure for us?"

"Just tell them we're going to the scene to participate in solving this case."

Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri nodded blankly, then took out his phone to call Inspector Megure.

Meanwhile, Hattori Heiji addressed the group.

"Let's split into teams first."

"Since we're going to split into two teams to solve the case and decide which side to go with, it's better to split up first. Otherwise, it'll be harder to predict the outcome, don't you think, Conan?"

The elementary school student next to him blinked and shrank back.

It's none of my business; I can go wherever I want.

Don't drag me into this. Don't let the blood splatter on me later. If it were between him and Xiaolan, he would probably go with Xiaolan if she wanted to see a musical.

There's absolutely no need for any reasoning competitions.

At that moment, Kazuha Toyama simply grabbed Ran Mouri beside him and said seriously.

"In that case, Xiaolan and Uncle will definitely be in my group."

"I believe that with the help of this famous detective, we will be able to solve the case quickly."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri, who had just finished making the phone call, pointed to himself.

Ah, me?

Oh yes, yes, I am indeed a detective.

Moreover, he is one of the most outstanding detectives in the entire country.

Seeing how much Ran Mouri's friends trusted him, Kogoro Mouri felt a surge of pride.

However, before he could be smug for long, he suddenly realized that there was another famous detective, who was just as good as him, present.

That was Chen En.

If Chen En joins the opposing side, even if the famous detective Kogoro Mouri personally intervenes, he will probably find it difficult to win. He immediately turned his head to look at Chen En and Sonoko Suzuki.

Sonoko Suzuki, however, spoke with great interest.

"In that case, I'll go with you, Uncle."

"Then Anu, you should go help Heiji."

"My Sonoko has dominated the Beika mystery world for many years without a single defeat. This time, I won't bully you. There are two detectives between me and Uncle, and you also have two detectives. We are evenly matched!"

We are two detectives versus you two detectives!

What? I'm going to hit Chen En? Really?

Kogoro Mouri had originally intended to recruit Chen En into his team, but upon hearing Sonoko Suzuki's words, he was immediately stunned.

Did something go wrong?

After knowing each other for so many years, do you think I don't know whether Sonoko Suzuki has any reasoning skills?

How could you possibly think your deductive reasoning skills are comparable to those of a renowned detective like me and Chen En? Aren't you overestimating yourself a bit? This time, am I going to be fighting three against one?

What's the difference between this side of Sonoko Station and the other side of the station?

Chen En took a sip of coffee and turned to look at Ai Haibara.

Ai Haibara merely glanced up at it before lowering her head again to continue reading, and said...

"Where you travel is your business; I won't go with you."

She had just received the research data from her own worldview within the Fanze universe a few days ago.

Now is the perfect time to strike while the iron is hot.

If I go out to play now, what if I lose my touch?

At this point, Conan was the only one who hadn't decided on his own team.

To be honest, when Conan saw Kogoro Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki on the same team, he felt a chill in his heart. Asking him to help Sonoko Suzuki and Kogoro Mouri would be like fighting four against one!

How are we supposed to play this? It's like the helplessness of Donk getting four kills only to face a one-on-one match point...

But Conan glanced at Ran Mouri and gritted his teeth, preparing to say he would join Kazuha Toyama's team.

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to go for it.

I don't know if I can handle it.

But even if we can't hold on now, we have to.

However, just as Conan was about to say he wanted to join Kazuha Toyama's team, Heiji Hattori grabbed Conan and looked up at him with a smile.

"Heye, look at your team, there are so many people, while my team only has me and Chen En. Don't you think there are too few people?"
