Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

Such close contact caused Conan's PTSD to completely erupt, and he started shouting loudly without any regard for his image.

He doesn't want to be sold into mining again!

"Hey! Kid! Don't talk nonsense! When did I kidnap a child? I'm just here to see Detective Mouri!"

Unwittingly framed, the dark-faced man hurriedly tried to explain, only to find that a number of passersby had gathered around him, each with a suspicious look on their face.

Conan seized the opportunity to break free from the other party's clutches and rushed upstairs again.

This time he didn't make a mistake; he went straight to the Mori Detective Agency and knocked hard on the door.

The good news is that Kogoro Mouri didn't sleep in today.

To be precise, he forced himself to change this bad habit after his daughter moved out.

Sitting at his desk, he waited for his clients who had appointments that day while watching a rerun of Yoko Okino's show.

He naturally endured the knocking on the door and the escalating argument downstairs.

The bad news is that the detective agency's door opens outwards.

He opened the door straight up, and before he knew it, Kogoro Mori bumped into a large black rat that was pressed against the door and sent it flying.

Conan, now transformed into a ball again, bounced against the wall at the corner and rolled down the stairs once more.

They returned to the feet of the dark-faced man.

"You wretched brat! Explain to them right now! I'm really not a kidnapper!"

He grabbed the big black rat, and the dark-faced man was furious.

If this isn't explained clearly, those kind passersby will be taking out their phones to call the police!

He certainly didn't want to be taken to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning for no reason!

Unfortunately, Conan didn't hear what he said.

Even with its thick skin and tough physique, which had been whipped by Uncle Black, the big black rat couldn't withstand rolling down the stairs twice.

Frightened by the dark-faced man, he fainted without hesitation.

"I said, what's going on here?"

When Kogoro Mouri came downstairs, he saw the clothes scattered on the ground and Conan being carried by the dark-faced man, and couldn't help but ask a question.

Chapter 76 Conan's Shattered Illusions (Fifth Update!)

　"Kid! You've only been here a short while and you've already driven one of my clients away, do you know that?"

Inside the detective agency, Kogoro Mouri, holding the large black rat by the ear, scolded it irritably.

Having figured out the truth, he certainly wouldn't make things difficult for the dark-faced man, but instead pressed Conan's head and apologized.

However, this request has definitely fallen through.

Kogoro Mouri was naturally unhappy about missing out on a commission fee, and he looked at the big black rat with disdain.

Compared to the cute little boy who had customers coming to his door right after moving in, this guy is practically a jinx!

But there was nothing they could do; the foster care agreement had already been signed, and he had accepted the money. It was too late to kick him out.

Unless... this guy decides to leave himself!

With a furrowed brow, Kogoro Mori had an idea!

"I'm sorry, Uncle Mori."

When you're under someone's roof, even if Conan usually looks down on this useless old man, he has no choice but to bow his head and apologize.

My ear still hurts!

"Fine, take your things and come upstairs with me!"

After saying that, Kogoro Mouri pushed open the door and walked out on his own.

But after waiting for a while, he realized that the big black rat hadn't followed him.

"Hey! Did you hear me, kid?"

"I'm coming!"

Carrying a bunch of things, Conan came running out excitedly.

His suitcase had been broken, so he had to crumple up his change of clothes and other belongings and hold them in his arms.

Fortunately, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to lift that suitcase.

"Tch, what a troublesome brat!"

Kogoro Mouri scoffed disdainfully.

With Luo Tian, ​​this adorable lucky star, in front of him, he found the big black rat in front of him increasingly displeasing.

But getting someone to back down and voluntarily leave is certainly not an easy task, so he could only be patient for the time being.

"Xiao Lan, I'm here!!!"

Conan didn't pay any attention to the attitude of this useless old man.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that after deciding to move into the Mori family home, he was already mentally prepared to put up with Kogoro Mori.

He'd be willing to endure any hardship as long as he could live with his childhood sweetheart!

With that thought in mind, the big black rat followed Kogoro Mouri into the entrance hall on the third floor.

"Huh? It doesn't look like a birthday party at all?!"

As was his habit, Conan scanned the house from a detective's perspective and found the living room to be very plain.

It could even be described as somewhat dirty and messy, not at all like a place to celebrate someone's birthday.

It's his birthday today!

Could it be that Xiaolan has forgotten? No! Impossible!

I get it! She must have made a reservation at a restaurant and is planning to ask me out!

This is such a hassle! I'm in no condition to keep my appointment!

The self-assured Conan soon encountered a happy problem, completely unaware of the impending danger.

"What are you daydreaming about! Hurry up and put your things in the room!"

Seeing the big black rat standing still, occasionally letting out a silly laugh, Kogoro Mori was furious.

A fist the size of a sandbag struck Conan hard, bringing him back to reality from his fantasy.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Letting go of what he was holding, and clutching the large bump on his forehead, Conan instinctively wanted to swear.

But then I thought, I'm just a child! How could I do such a thing?

In his anger, he could only blame other factors for the blow he had just suffered.

It's all the Black Organization's fault! And those two guys named Gin and Vodka!

After mentally cursing his enemy with a string of profanities, Conan suddenly felt refreshed and his mind was at ease.

"I know, Uncle Mori!"

Picking up his clothes again, the big black rat lifted his leg and tried to walk towards the room on his right.

He knew this was the old man's bedroom, and it would also be his resting place from now on.

"You've gone to the wrong room! Your room is over there!"

Kogoro Mouri grabbed the big black rat by the back of its collar and forced it to turn around.

"This way?"

Conan froze on the spot, knowing that his childhood sweetheart's bedroom was on his left.

"Isn't this...not good?"

He said it wasn't good, but his face was full of eager anticipation.

Happiness came so suddenly that he could hardly believe it for a moment!

Am I dreaming? Am I still asleep after falling down the stairs?!

He wanted to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't hallucinating, but he couldn't free his hand.

So he looked at the corner of the wall, then at his toes, and made up his mind!

pain! It hurts so much!

A piercing pain shot through Conan's little toe, yet a smile remained on his face.

Because he had confirmed it; the scene before him was real! He wasn't dreaming!

"What's wrong with it? It's just an empty room."

Kogoro Mouri witnessed the black rat's self-harm and silently upgraded it from a troublesome brat to a foolish brat.

He continued to drag the big black rat into the room by the back of his collar.

"Hehe, Xiaolan's room, hehe, Xiaolan... Huh?"

With expectant eyes, Conan stepped into the girl's boudoir he had always dreamed of.

The result... the empty room, the bunk bed with only the bed frame, the empty wardrobe... everything pierced his heart deeply.

Where did this cheap rental property come from?

“Isn’t this… wrong?”

With a mechanical twist of his neck, Conan looked at the useless old man beside him.

"Where's Sister Xiaolan? Doesn't she live around here?"

"Who told you Xiaolan lives here?"

Kogoro Mori glared fiercely at the big black rat.

Just kidding, if his own daughter still lived here, how could he possibly let anyone else in!

That cute little boy is just a special case!

"Then...where does Sister Xiaolan sleep?"

With a last glimmer of hope, Conan sought answers from the useless old man.

He hoped that his arrival had led to the father and daughter switching rooms, and that the bunk beds would be a good option for him and the useless uncle to sleep in.

However, Kogoro Mouri ruthlessly extinguished the last glimmer of hope in the big black rat.

"Kid, I don't know why you seem to know Xiaolan so well! But listen to me!"

He pulled Conan's ear wide and warned him expressionlessly.

"Xiaolan has moved out. From now on, I will be your guardian and take care of your daily life. But I hope you can become independent, understand?!"

After saying that, Kogoro Mouri left the room, closing the door behind him.

The moment the door closed, Conan felt as if he had fallen into hell.

What happened to my cohabitation with Xiaolan? What happened to my free time? I...

Kneeling on the ground, the big black rat felt that life had suddenly become dark and meaningless.

A melody drifted in from outside the window at just the right moment, making his situation seem even more desolate.

"Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is howling..."

Chapter 77 The Bomb at Teitan High School! (Sixth Update!)

　"Something's not right, something's really not right!"

Inside a coffee shop directly opposite the gate of Teitan High School, Luo Tian, ​​now dressed in a larger size, squinted and muttered to himself.

Today is Monday, which is also Xiaolan's school day.

Because of the accidental explosion over the weekend, Luo Tian, ​​who was on guard, cast a [Great Prophecy] spell on the girl before she left.

The result was outrageous and extremely unlucky!

How could something as simple as going to school turn into such a terrible tragedy?!
