"5. Do not attempt to engage in close combat with anyone from the Maori Detective Agency, including children and girls."

"6. A careless remark can clear up any doubts, so don't interrupt any conversation at the crime scene and let people finish their words."

"7. Children have a more unique perspective on things, so coded riddles and even death messages can be solved by children."

"8. Be careful when traveling. The ticket to travel is often a life."

"9. Don't try your luck in front of Maori and his group. Lady Luck has already chosen someone."

"10. If Maori is at the crime scene, the real murderer will be caught 100%."

Zhi Xing looked at Inspector Megure, who seemed a little confused by his words, and without caring that these were just improvisations, he immediately said:

"I know very well how poor Kogoro Maori's reasoning skills are, but Maori and his team are already involved in this murder case, so they will definitely find clues to this murder and point out the murderer."

"I'm just following the rumors about the Mori Detective Agency. This is a truth built from the lives of countless people. Does Inspector Megure really think that Mori and the others are outsiders?"

"You just said, they?" Inspector Megure asked uncertainly.

Seeing that Inspector Megure had doubts about this, Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was not afraid of you asking, but he was afraid that you would ignore it.

Anyway, this is a long serialized story, and everyone has a consensus in their minds. No matter what doubts there are, these 10 rules are summarized based on the future of the sleeping Kogoro Mouri.

"Yes, if it's just Maori Kogoro, then the probability of arresting the wrong person will be very high. But when did I say that it was for Maori Kogoro alone?"

"Mouri Kogoro, Mouri Ran, Edogawa Conan."

"It takes the three of them to form a crime-solving duo, just like Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Three cobblers can still be better than Zhuge Liang, not to mention one with strong deductive reasoning skills."

Inspector Megure thought about the rules he had just heard. There were indeed some descriptions that were very similar to the Mouri Kogoro he knew, but there were more parts that were completely incomprehensible.

Although he didn't understand, Inspector Megure still understood what Zhixing meant.

"Kamijo-kun, are you saying that the addition of that kid Edogawa Conan will boost Mori-kun's crime-solving abilities to 100%?"

"That's right. With Edogawa Conan's talent, he just makes up for Maori Kogoro's weakness in finding clues. Only when all the clues are found can Maori come up with the real reasoning."

"Are you really just going there to wait for clues? We've already discovered the identity of the second victim and are currently investigating his whereabouts. Would you rather trust Brother Maori than follow us?"

"I'm sorry, but..." Ji Xing looked directly at Megure and responded affirmatively, "I trust the Mori Detective Agency more than your investigation!"

Chapter 145 Change must start from the source

After communicating with Inspector Megure and agreeing to explain a case, Kazuyuki was able to get into the police car and arrive at the Mouri Detective Agency under the guidance of a strange police officer.

When Zhixing got out of the car, he saw the glass sign of the detective agency and the obvious stairs.

Just as Zhihang was about to go upstairs, he saw the police officer park the car and was about to go upstairs with him.

"Don't go. There are some things I don't want you to hear."

"No, the inspector said we have to ensure the safety of others, so I have to follow, otherwise I will take you back."

Zhixing took a look at the muscles that could not be covered by the police uniform and was speechless.

"Okay, okay, then you can just watch from a distance, but don't get close enough to eavesdrop."

"No, if that happens, how can I stop you from hurting others?"

The police officer looked at Zhixing's sub-healthy body that did not exercise regularly, and although he was a little hesitant, he still decided to follow Inspector Megure's orders.

"Don't you know who I am? I can at least curse others, and this kind of curse doesn't require contact. So if I really have bad intentions, you should do the same as Inspector Megure did and isolate me from the other party so that they can't come into contact."

"After all, I completed the curse right in front of Inspector Megure, and Inspector Megure couldn't stop me at that time."

Zhihang stood at the stairs on the street, trying to persuade the police officer not to follow him.

"The past is the past. At that time, the inspector didn't know you would do such a thing and was unprepared, but I will keep an eye on you."

The police officer shook his head and directly denied the paper shop's statement.

Zhixing frowned and was about to say something when he heard the door on the second floor being opened, and then a head popped out of the room.

That's...Kogoro Mouri's head popped out with a puzzled look on his face.

Kazuyoshi and Maori Kogoro exchanged a glance, and Maori Kogoro shouted:

"Why did you escape from the police station? Turn yourself in immediately, or I won't let you go."

Shixing looked at Maori Kogoro, then turned around and saw the police officer who was still standing next to the car and therefore out of Maori's sight, and asked in confusion:

"I joined the police station only as a clue provider. Is there any need for them to keep me here?"

"Humph, you can't fool me. I've already inquired about it. You were still suspected of being involved in another case and you escaped from prison on your own. I heard everything from Inspector Megure."

Zhihang thought for a moment and asked:

"Could it be that you called the police not to catch the stalker, but to catch me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kazuyo saw Kogoro Mouri with his mouth open, an expression as if he had been guessed.

"Oh, it's really unreliable."

"In front of me, the great detective Mouri Kogoro, no crime can escape the law." Mouri Kogoro shifted his gaze guiltily. After all, it was the paper merchant who took the initiative to ask the police to call, but he did not believe it.

"Really? Then you can have it when you go to sleep."

Kazuyoshi ignored Kogoro Mouri's performance and went straight up the stairs.

Just as Kogoro Mouri thought that Jixing was coming to avenge him for calling the police to arrest him, he immediately took a stance, ready to perform judo throws with Jixing in this narrow stairwell.

As the paper shop went upstairs, the police officer in charge of driving also went up the stairs, interrupting Kogoro Mouri before he could say anything.

"Would it be convenient for me to come in and sit down?"

Paper Walker came in front of Kogoro Mouri and asked as he looked at Kogoro who was posing.

"Ahh, please."

Kogoro Mouri pushed open the door of the office and led the paper shop owner, whose purpose was unknown, and the police officer behind him into the house.

"Um, isn't Inspector Megure coming with you?"

After Mao Li led the two to their seats, he glanced at the door closed by the police officer and asked.

"No, I applied to Officer Megure for a police officer position and came to you specifically to wait for clues to the case."

Zhixing looked around and found that apart from the similar layout, furniture distribution and room locations, other furnishings were somewhat different from those in the original drama.

"A clue? Is it the case from yesterday? Didn't Inspector Megure come here yesterday? Besides, what does this case have to do with you?"

Kogoro Mouri answered subconsciously, then realized that Shixing was not the police officer who was investigating the case.

Zhixing ignored Kogoro and looked at the two closed rooms and asked:

"What about the other two people here? Are they on the third floor?"

"Humph, I don't know where that brat ran off to. Lan was worried that he might be in danger so she went looking for him. Really, brats just love to run around."

When mentioning Conan, Kogoro Mouri said with annoyance.

"That's perfect. While we're waiting for them to come back with the clues, I'll tell you about Conan."

Zhixing glanced at the time "14:15". Although today was a non-school day, the death of the first victim, Kenzo Hirota, had been confirmed on the spot by Inspector Megure yesterday, so Conan and his friends did not have to go to the scene to confirm it today.

"Come to think of it, you were with that brat that day, right? Do you know that brat? If you do, quickly contact his parents and take him away."

"I know Conan, but Conan doesn't really know me. I don't know if you remember, but I'm from the future."

Maori Kogoro glanced at the police officer sitting next to the paper shop, looked at him carefully, and confirmed that it was a formal police uniform. Then he asked with a puzzled look:

"You said the same thing last time, but to be honest, I can't tell you're any different from us."

"Well, aside from having a little more information than you do, I don't actually have anything extra. All I have is intelligence from the future. And the reason I was able to come here from the police station is because that intelligence from the future is being verified step by step."

Feeling that talking to Zhihang while sitting was a bit too formal, he stood up and spoke while looking around.

"If I understand correctly, you want to tell me about that kid's future? No way. Even if that kid achieves something in the future, it has nothing to do with me, so send him away quickly."

"In the future, haha. What I want to talk about is the present."

Zhi Xing raised his finger and shook it, then said to Maori Kogoro with a smile:

"Edogawa Conan, we have a code name over there, called Death God Elementary School Student."

"Death...Death?!"

Both people present were surprised, but Maori was puzzled, while the police officer next to him knew that Zhixing had a background in magic.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, even though he's called the Shinigami Elementary School Student, he didn't kill anyone."

"It's just a coincidence."

"You happen to come across a long-planned assassination, you happen to come across an abandoned corpse, you happen to come across a case caused by accident or impulse."

The police officer on the side couldn't help but interrupt:

"But isn't that kid following Detective Maori? It's normal for him to encounter something like this, right?"

Zhi Xing opened his hand and roughly measured a distance of one meter. He then looked out the window at the street and roughly estimated the distance. Then he asked curiously:

"Are the detectives here so outrageous? Is it normal for deaths to occur within 10 meters every time?"

"Ten...ten meters?!"

The police officer opened his mouth, but not only could he not utter a word to refute, he was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would be accompanying Kamijou Touma and approaching the elementary school student who was a god of death and who was within 10 meters of the crime scene.

"How could he be at the scene every time? Normally, the detective would have noticed the police's movements and taken the initiative to join in the deduction."

Kogoro Maori speaks up for the detectives of this era.

After all, Kogoro Mouri was a policeman before, so he knew very well that the police would not actively ask for help from detectives unless the investigation was completely helpless.

But if a detective wants to become famous, he must be in the newspaper in this era, so most of them will take the initiative to approach the police, ask about the case and details, and then deduce the truth before the police find any clues, so as to use the police as a background.

"You two, what kind of coincidence do you think is not a coincidence?" Zhixing turned around and faced the window to look at the two people sitting in the room.

"Well, if you want to say it's a coincidence, it should be something that neither side expected, just like when two people are fighting and someone accidentally falls." said the police officer.

"What a coincidence! It's just bad luck. If that kid often goes to the time and environment suitable for committing crimes, the chance of encountering him would be very high, just like he is running around now." Kogoro Mouri put forward another possible hypothesis.

"You are worthy of being a famous detective. You found me." Zhixing praised Mouri Kogoro again. After all, in Zhixing's impression, the members of the Junior Detective Team often appeared in places that adults did not often go, so they encountered corpses or clues.

"Ah~ Hahaha, after all, I was once a criminal policeman, and your little tricks can't mislead me." Kogoro Mouri immediately felt that he had established his authority in front of the younger police officers, and couldn't help feeling a little proud.

"Judging from the time and location of the crime, children do have an advantage. After all, there may not be many passersby at that time."

Zhixing nodded, then changed the subject and said:

"So, every time I'm invited as a guest, a case is discovered in the other person's home. How do you explain that?"

"Really... is this true? Will anyone invite me like this?"

Even Kogoro Mori felt that this was too outrageous.

The paper merchant glanced at Maori Kogoro, who was the inviter of each case, and said:

"Of course, not every time I was invited. Sometimes I accidentally wandered in and was taken in by the victim's family for one night. Then the crime happened coincidentally that night. That's all."

"As for your claim that no one dared to invite you, as long as it's not reported in the newspapers, how would others know whether you entered the crime scene in advance or accompanied the police to solve the case? Especially when the person invited is you, who is clearly in the open."

Kogoro Mouri imagined a scenario where he, as an invited guest, was dragged into a place and banned from entering because of the drag of the Death God Elementary School Student, and would never have any chance of doing high-class business again. He suddenly felt that he could not keep this boy and had to find a way to send him away.

Seeing that Mao Li did not refute, Zhi Xing paused for a moment, then continued the previous topic and said:

"As a god of death who brings trouble to others, Conan will also bring you enough fame and fortune."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Maori suddenly became serious.

"Anyone who can afford to invite a famous detective to their home must be a celebrity, at least not insignificant. Cases that happen in the homes of such people are generally reported, even on the front page."

"And as someone who has firsthand information, witnessed the entire situation surrounding the crime, and is able to more quickly identify the various inconsistent clues, aren't you the first detective to solve the case?"

"In that situation, even Inspector Megure would have to pay more attention to your statement and use your reasoning to apprehend the criminal. After all, you are the detective with the most clues. With such an advantage, your reputation will naturally rise, and with it come all kinds of large-scale commissions and invitations to banquets."

Mao Li's mouth was cracked, with a lewd expression on his face, but he still denied it:

"That's all based on the assumption that Edogawa Conan is really a Death God elementary school student. That kind of thing is simply unbelievable."

"Then bear witness in front of this officer." Zhi Xing pointed to the police officer who was listening to the conversation and said, "If you believe me and hope that the person you invited will get into trouble, then bring Conan and Ran along with you. On the other hand, if you don't believe me, you can bring them along and pay attention to the people who will appear and those who leave to see if any problems arise."

Both Kogoro Mouri and the police officer swallowed their saliva. After Zhixing pointed out the influence of Conan the Grim Reaper, the question changed from whether the other party might be involved in a case to whether Mouri had the intention of harming the other party.

"By the way, if you don't bring Ran and Conan with you and a case still occurs, then I can be sure that if it's not the Trinity and you alone are reasoning, you will definitely arrest the wrong person."

"Only if the three of you work together to solve the case can we identify the murderer with 100% certainty."
