Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

Tomoko Suzuki, who was sitting next to her, also had a dark face.

This is not an attack on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, it is clearly an attack on the Suzuki Group.

Do you think that the Suzuki Group is mainly active in the Kanto region and will not be involved in things happening in Hokkaido at all, so even the future heirs of the Suzuki Group can be directly ignored in extremely dangerous situations?

Suzuki Shiro was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"Is that so? Then I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to the Hakodate Police Headquarters."

"Then, Superintendent Hakuba, please allow me to hang up first and leave some time in the evening to express my gratitude to the Hakodate Police Headquarters."

call ended.

Chapter 374: Stabbing in Both Sides (1/5)

"Huh? Are you flying back tomorrow morning?"

In the lobby of the Hakodate Police Headquarters, on a bench beside her, Suzuki Sonoko said in surprise, holding her cell phone.

She originally came to attend the celebration party of the Space Theater, and also came to have some fun in Hokkaido. After all, because she had always encountered various unfortunate and dangerous incidents before, she had been kept at home for observation for a period of time and could not go anywhere.

But now I just came out, less than a day later, and I have to go back again?

“It’s inevitable.”

A slightly gentle male voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

However, Kyogoku Makoto, who was sitting next to him, didn't have any other thoughts.

The reason is simple. Although he is the national karate champion who is good at fighting and doesn't like to think, not liking to think doesn't mean that his memory is bad. He remembers that the voice is the voice of Sonoko's father, Shiro Suzuki.

As for the fact that Sonoko and I had to return to Tokyo in less than a day this time in Hokkaido.

Kyogoku Makoto didn't feel anything.

He is not very interested in scenery or traveling. The last time he went to a scenic spot was to help friends or distant relatives. This time he came to Hokkaido just to accompany Sonoko. If Sonoko wanted to go back, he naturally would not object.

"It might not really be that dangerous... Dad, let me think about it again?"

Sonoko said pitifully.

Although Suzuki Shiro on the other end of the phone could not see her expression at all, she was his daughter who he had raised for so many years. He knew what Suzuki Sonoko would say and what expression she would make at any time. He sighed helplessly and replied.

"Well, think about it again. With Mr. Kyogoku by your side, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"However, your mother and I still hope that you can return to Tokyo tomorrow. After all, your safety is more important to us than anything else. Sonoko, you are still very young, and there will be more than just this one or two opportunities to play."

After giving some advice, Shiro Suzuki ended the call.

On this side, Suzuki Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief, rested her hands on her thighs, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Then, Suzuki Sonoko turned her head to look at Ran Mouri who was standing next to Kogoro Mouri. After thinking for a moment, she stood up, walked closer to Ran Mouri, leaned close to her ear, and asked softly.

"Xiao Lan, my parents want me to fly back to Tokyo tomorrow morning. Do you and the uncle want to come with me?"

Ran Mouri, who had just been listening attentively to the conversation between Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure, was startled.

She subconsciously covered her mouth to avoid disturbing the adults' conversation, then turned around, puffed up her cheeks slightly, looked at Suzuki Sonoko in confusion, recalled what Sonoko had just said, and shook her head.

"I don't think so... I plan to stay with Dad."

"...Uncle, don't you want to leave?"

Suzuki Sonoko raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

In her impression, Maori Kogoro was the kind of person who didn't like to cause trouble, especially trouble that had nothing to do with him. He would only do so if there was a temporary commission or some benefit to be gained——

No, and he won’t. After all, if Xiaolan is around, Uncle Maori will consider Xiaolan’s personal safety as the first priority.

Then why does Kogoro Mori still stay here?

The second young lady of the Suzuki family tilted her head and looked at Maori Kogoro and others who were talking, listening to what they were saying.

What Kogoro Mouri was talking about with Inspector Megure, Takagi Wataru, and Shiratori Jinsaburo was nothing else but the attack on the security officers arranged by Inspector Nakamori and the taking away of Inspector Nakamori.

"...This incident was most likely orchestrated by the Hakodate Police Headquarters..."

The sleeping detective stroked his chin and made a rare statement of reasoning.

However, this actually does not require any reasoning. Anyone who has a little understanding of the conversation between Inspector Nakamori and the Chief of Hakodate Police Headquarters in the Chief's office can easily come to this conclusion.

Inspector Megure and his colleagues are no exception, otherwise, they might have already considered where to continue their vacation.

"Compared to this, I want to say..."

Shiratori Renzaburo put his hands in his coat pockets and was about to say something when he felt his cell phone vibrate.

He subconsciously took out his cell phone. At the same time, the incoming message alert sounded in the pockets of Takagi Shigeru and Inspector Megure. They had the same reaction as Shiratori Renzaburo. They subconsciously took out their cell phones and checked the content.

Inspector Megure's gaze fell on the new message sent on his mobile phone, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This message was sent by the Chief Superintendent of Police Baima.

"Brother Maori, it seems that this is indeed the case... Just now, Superintendent Hakuba asked us to adjust our vacation to another time. Now we will cooperate with Inspector Nakamori to handle the matter in Hakodate."

"By the way, Maori brother, what are your plans?"

He raised his head and looked at Kogoro Mouri.

As a former elite criminal, Kogoro Mouri naturally answered Inspector Megure without hesitation at this time.

"There's really no other way. I'll just stay here with you guys."

He shrugged and said lightly.

In fact, after leaving his job, Kogoro Mouri risked his life more than once to help Inspector Megure deal with difficult criminals or handle difficult incidents, and even went into the criminal gang to act as an insider for Inspector Megure.

However, all of this was done without Maori Ran's knowledge, so Maori Ran and Conan were unaware of it.

Now Inspector Megure has received new instructions from Superintendent Hakuba. As an old friend, if he happens to be in Hakodate, he naturally has to help. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of his former identity as a criminal police officer?

However, although Kogoro Mouri decided to stay in Hakodate to help Inspector Megure, he did not intend to let Ran Mouri stay as well.

Things here are too dangerous. Xiaolan is just an ordinary, weak and helpless female high school student. What if she encounters any danger? It is better to let Xiaolan take Conan back to Tokyo first, so that he can have no worries.

However, just when Kogoro Mouri was about to ask Ran Mouri to take the flight back tomorrow.

When he turned around, he saw Ran Mouri and Suzuki Sonoko standing next to them listening to them talk. He was immediately startled and jumped up, almost knocking down Takagi Wataru who was next to him. Takagi Wataru was so scared that he quickly gave way.

"Hey, Xiaolan, and Sonoko, when were you two listening?"

Kogoro Mouri was shocked and asked quickly.

Inspector Megure and Shiratori Rensaburo next to them looked at each other helplessly.

Then, Inspector Megure, who had a better relationship with Kogoro Mouri, sighed and answered.

"Brother Maori, they've been listening for a long time. I thought you noticed it."

Chapter 375 What does your uncle think? (2/5)

"Dad, are you planning to stay in Hakodate alone again this time, leaving Conan and I to go back first?"

Ran Mouri puffed out her cheeks and stared at Kogoro Mouri angrily.

This made the famous detective in Tokyo break out in a cold sweat.

"Ahem, this is also for your safety..."

Beads of sweat oozed from Kogoro Mouri's forehead, his eyes wandering as if he was looking for other things or topics to relieve the situation. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and fell on the Shinigami elementary school student who was talking to someone on the phone in the corner, and he hurriedly spoke.

"Besides, Conan's safety is also something we must consider, right?"

"Even if you want to stay in Hakodate, Xiaolan, you still have to consider Conan's safety, right? Do you want Conan to fly back to Tokyo alone? This kid is an elementary school student. Don't you think it's cruel and dangerous to do this?"

The sleeping detective exclaimed.

Hearing this, Ran Mouri was stunned. She also turned her head to look at Conan's position and was vaguely persuaded.

Indeed, if she were to stay in Hakodate with Kogoro Mouri, then Conan would definitely not be able to go back alone, and he would have to stay in Hakodate as well, but that would be too dangerous.

After all, there was a gunfight here. She was fine because she had learned some karate for self-defense, but what about Conan?

Conan is just an ordinary elementary school student, weak, pitiful and helpless. What should he do if he encounters danger?

“…Yes, that’s right.”

At this moment, the Death God Elementary School Student was still unaware that he had become the focus of the Maori father and daughter's attention.

He is now holding a cell phone and talking to the person on the other end of the line——

To be precise, he was talking to his father, Yusaku Kudo.

The reason is simple. Kudo Yusaku met him on the Hokutosei No. 3 train, which is a luxury train running from Hokkaido to Tokyo. In other words, Kudo Yusaku got off the plane in Hokkaido.

He finished his business in Hokkaido and then took the train to Tokyo to find him.

Now Conan knows nothing about the situation in Hokkaido. If he wants to find someone who knows the situation in Hokkaido without worrying about exposing the truth that he is the famous detective Kudo Shinichi, there is no doubt that the only candidate is Kudo Yusaku.

"Is Hokkaido so dangerous now? Shinichi, do you want to go back to Tokyo first?"

Faced with their children in a dangerous area, the three fathers' reactions were surprisingly consistent.

After listening to all of Conan's experiences in Hokkaido, Kudo Yusaku's first reaction was that Hokkaido had become so dangerous, and he planned to let Conan return to Tokyo to ensure Conan's life safety first.

However, as a super football man, Conan always goes wherever there is danger.

In response to Kudo Yusaku's concern and inquiries, he directly gave a negative answer.

"No, I can ensure my own safety. Dad, do you know what's going on in Hakodate, Hokkaido? I need to understand how the situation here came about, but I don't have a reasonable starting point."

What the Death God Elementary School students are most concerned about is the truth behind the chaos.

Faced with such a persistent son, Kudo Yusaku just sighed.

At the Kudo residence on the other end of the phone, Kudo Yusaku put on his glasses, then got off the bed, walked to the study, turned on the light, and took out some files that he had borrowed from Hokkaido as material for his novel.

He flipped through the files and finally came across some case files related to the Hakodate area.

"As far as I know, Hakodate has always been relatively peaceful compared to Beika-cho. The only serious incident that made the news was a murder."

"There's an incident where a lawyer was allegedly hacked to death with a samurai sword, and the real killer hasn't been found yet."

When Kudo Yusaku said this, he immediately received a question from Conan.
