"It's the heart." Mao Lilan's face suddenly showed some confusion. "Although I don't understand why I say this, I think... the voice from the heart is the purest."

"Well, what else? What do you remember?" Taichi wanted to test how much of Mouri Ran's memory the Shadow Mage had erased.

After half an hour of question-and-answer session, Taiyi saw the inevitable look of fatigue on Mao Li Ran's face, so he took the initiative to end the consultation.

As it turns out, Shadow Mage Washi Mouri Ran's memory is quite organized.

The people she knew and the things she had experienced were washed away completely, leaving nothing behind.

But what she learned through studying was not lost at all. In fact, because of the large gaps in her memory, they actively permeated and dominated the new memory, resulting in her having a very deep memory of what she had learned.

She can now even recite a few paragraphs from the miscellaneous books she read in elementary school.

Although Taichi is not an expert in brain science, judging from Ran Mouri's current performance, it seems that she can't recover the memories that were erased by the Shadow Mage.

After all, the episodic memory modules have been replaced by other memories.

Taichi sent the content of his conversation with Mao Lilan to Edogawa Conan via text message.

Of course, I didn’t mention the hypothetical conclusions I drew.

On the other side, Conan Edogawa looked at the reply message that he could not send, and started smashing things in frustration.

Dr. Agasa, who was watching from the side, had tears on his face.

In the end, he will have to compensate for all the damaged items.

"Shinichi, how should we explain this to Mori-kun?" After reading the text message from Taichi, Dr. Agasa sighed, then looked at Edogawa Conan blankly and asked.

Edogawa Conan also felt a headache about this.

He glanced at the dozen or so incoming call records on his phone, and a "destroy it" expression appeared on his face.

Chapter 154: Mao Lilan: Could this be a family trait?

Soon Edogawa Conan no longer had to worry about how to explain to Mouri Kogoro.

Because of Kogoro Mori's tireless pestering, he successfully sent himself to the detention center.

It’s just that the impact isn’t too severe, so it can be released after three days.

After Edogawa Conan delivered the spare clothes to Kogoro Mouri, he appeared in front of Dr. Agasa with an expression that didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"I can no longer rely on the police. I can only find out where Xiaolan is by myself."

Although Edogawa Conan is afraid of the "influence" behind Taichi, he will not stop.

If he had been afraid and hesitated, he would not have bravely followed Gin and Vodka in the amusement park.

It's just a story about the gods and ghosts, and the techniques used somewhat challenge the perception of real detectives.

So he has a certain degree of tragic awareness.

However, he really couldn't attend Diana's banquet tonight.

After all, the invitees were detained.

After sincerely apologizing to Ms. Diana, Edogawa Conan scratched his head and pondered over what to do next, and he felt like going berserk again.

Until Dr. Agasa gave him a suggestion.

"Why don't you ask Yusaku for help? He made friends here in Britain."

My dad’s connections are my connections.

With his mind liberated, Conan Edogawa went straight to his old father for help without saying a word.

"... Shinichi, are you sure you are really awake now?" At first, Kudo Yusaku was quite happy to receive the long-awaited call from his son. After all, his son didn't even call his old father to say hello for a year or two, which was really unfilial. But today, he came up and asked him if he knew any master who could exorcise ghosts. He somewhat suspected that his son was not in a clear mind.

It’s okay about the monster, after all, that thing has been exposed to the cameras of the whole world before.

But the monster...

If this thing really exists, then ghosts and the like can also exist... Then didn't his past of reveling every night happen right under the noses of ghosts?

You can't do that!

It was not until Edogawa Conan told Kudo Yusaku everything he had experienced that Kudo Yusaku, who had been silent for a long time, finally sighed helplessly.

Kotoko Iwanaga.

He had never heard of this name.

After all, when Kotoko Iwanaga became really famous in the circle, he had already moved to America with his wife.

But he has a wide and strong network of contacts in Japan.

Not long after hanging up the phone with his son, he heard the meaning of this name from several of his old Japanese friends.

By the way, are the monsters in Japan so powerful that they are known to everyone?

It seems that he needs to remind his wife to go back to Japan as little as possible.

When he called his eldest son back, Kudo Yusaku lowered the volume of his voice several levels.

"So far, the person recommended to me by my contacts is the 'Iwanaga Kotoko' you mentioned before." Kudo Yusaku sighed with some regret, "But isn't Miss Iwanaga Kotoko a companion of the boy who kidnapped Xiaolan you mentioned? So I'm worried that even if I contact Miss Iwanaga Kotoko through my contacts, she may not reveal the news to us."

"Let's give it a try." After a long silence, Edogawa Conan replied without giving up, "Cast a wide net, maybe you can get some good news."

Kudo Yusaku's heart was in a knot.

As a proud big boy, when has he ever said something like "Give it a try, there will always be good news" that relies purely on luck?

But Kudo Yusaku had no choice but to do as he was told.

By the way, I'll contact my former connections in Britain.

After all, Xiaolan was involved in an extremely sensitive case like the 'Jack the Ripper copycat'.

After the arrest of Thomas Sindola, his connections in Britain had already reminded him.

After all, that incident caused the relevant British institutions to suffer international shame.

If the current 'modern-day copycat of Jack the Ripper' is confirmed to be Mao Lilan...even if he personally takes action, he will probably not get face.

So this time when Kudo Yusaku contacted Britain, his excuse was "my son's childhood sweetheart lost contact while traveling in Britain."

There was no mention of Jack the Ripper.

On the contrary, the person in charge of the connection gave a "not optimistic" answer after hearing this.

After all, the British police cannot do something like recruiting a mystery writer like Yusaku Kudo to be a detective.

That’s right, an MI6 agent!

The case of Jack the Ripper copycats had already spread within MI6.

After all, this kind of thing that can easily bring shame to the national system must be shouldered by colleagues together.

So Mary Akai had already sent the news to MI6.

However, although no clues have been found in the case of Jack the Ripper copycats, the news that children collectively went to Scotland Yard to deliver notes indicating that someone was going to go on a killing spree in London attracted the attention of the agents who had found no clues.

If you can't catch a big case, catching a small case to get away with it is also a good option.

Most importantly, they also discovered that there was a 'Masumi Sera' who was helping in this small case.

Wow, isn’t this a credit that comes right to my doorstep?

So now the entire MI6 department is forced to start operating.

Those looking for Jack the Ripper continue to look for clues.

The one who tries to save his life by committing a minor crime is trying to follow in the footsteps of Masumi Sera.

It can be said that everyone has something to do except Edogawa Conan, who is currently at a loss and even has no use for the dad card.

……

"People without memories, can't dream?" Early in the morning, Taichi was asked this question by Mouri Ran with a confused look on his face.

As for the answer, Taiyi couldn't give it.

After all, he has never lost his memory.

"How about we go to the hospital and find a specialist to see you?" Taiyi suggested, "And by the way, call your old father who is in the detention center in London."

Taichi also just learned that Kogoro Mouri was detained for obstructing the duties of Scotland Yard.

"Father? Detention center?" Mao Lilan showed a trace of surprise on her face, "Could it be that the father I had before I lost my memory was also a... murderer like me?"

Ran Mao Li just had her personality switched back to her original state, but she did not lose the new memories that she had gained after her original memories were erased yesterday.

Therefore, she remembered clearly the scene where he called himself Jack the Ripper and even killed innocent passers-by.

That's why she stopped talking about looking for people she knew before she lost her memory yesterday after her personality was switched back.

Unexpectedly, I was struck by lightning when the opening ceremony started early the next morning.

Chapter 155 Mao Lilan: This world has no warmth at all

"So that's how it is. I suddenly lost contact, so I did something against the rules in a panic and was temporarily detained." After hearing Taichi's explanation, Mao Lilan was relieved. It was good that it wasn't a bloodline inheritance.

But then a conflicted look appeared on her face.

"Then, should I go meet him?"

"It would be better to go and meet him." Taiyi nodded in agreement, "And tell him about your current situation."

"But...will he accept it?" Mao Lilan's face showed a look of wanting to escape, "My own daughter suddenly disappeared, and when I saw her again, she claimed to have 'amnesia'."

"Because it's the truth, there's nothing you can do even if you don't want to accept it." Taichi shrugged and replied, "And, as far as I know, Mao Lilan, that is, you, once lost your memory due to being attacked. So, although Mr. Mao Li will be sad, at least he has experience in this regard."

"...I don't think I want this kind of experience." Hearing that she had lost her memory once before, even Mao Lilan couldn't bear it. She covered her forehead with her hands and sighed, "Will I have to experience this again one day in the future?"

"That's hard to say. After all, the human brain is a very... mysterious field."

When the hotel owner saw Taichi taking the conscious Mouri Ran away from the hotel, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he would have to take risks if he let a person carrying an unconscious person stay in his own hotel.

After leaving the hotel, Taichi first took Mao Lilan to the most prestigious neurology department in London.

As a result, the doctors all looked confused.

And asked Taichi and Mao Lilan in return.

The machine showed that there was absolutely nothing wrong with any part of the brain, so why did you still suffer from amnesia? What did you do before?

Playing such a big game?

Taichi and Ran Maoli had no way to answer truthfully and could only retreat in defeat.

In one morning, the two of them ran around various hospitals, big and small, and the diagnosis results they got were all similar.

No signs were found that would cause amnesia in the human brain.

If the outpatient fees had not been so expensive, the doctors would have suspected that the two young men were here to tease the old doctors.

"It seems that the ability displayed by Shadow Mage cannot be detected by modern medical methods." Taiyi shook his head with some regret and sighed, "In this case, we cannot draw a conclusion on whether you can recover your memory in the future."

"My future..." Mao Lilan looked up at the sky in the distance in a daze, "I have no idea at all, and there is no sense of reality at all."

"Anyway, let's have lunch first, and then we'll go to the detention center to visit Mr. Maori in the afternoon." Taichi checked the time, then looked at Maori Ran, "Speaking of which, do we need to get your passport first?"

"I should go get it, right?" Mao Lilan replied with a blink of her eyes. "I seem to have some relevant knowledge in my memory. When visiting prisoners abroad, a passport is an indispensable document for identification. In addition, you also need to prepare relevant documents or certificates that can prove your relationship with the criminal... Ah, why do I remember these? Did I like studying legal knowledge very much before I lost my memory?"

As Mao Lilan spoke, she began to hesitate.

"Oh, this should be related to your mother." Taiyi replied, "She is a lawyer in Japan."

"Lawyer..." Ran Mao Li's hand unconsciously reached for her skirt pocket.

There were a series of contacts saved in her phone, but she couldn't tell the relationship between any of them.

However, there were several records that came in one after another in a short period of time yesterday, and the 'Mouri Kogoro' among them should be her father.

Then, who are 'Conan-kun' and 'Shinichi'?

The feeling of loneliness of being rejected by the whole world was only alleviated when she communicated with Taiyi.

"Yes, it's Hibiki Eri, a lawyer who is quite famous in the legal world." Tai nodded and replied, "I have worked with her several times before, and I know a little bit about her situation."

"Okay, can you tell me about it?" Mao Lilan fiddled with her fingers in confusion.
