Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

Ran Mouri looked at Shin Fukuda's sighing face, her nails digging into her palms.

They had a perfectly good plan, so how did it turn out like this?

He was initially worried that after arresting the other party, he would use various legal means to exonerate himself.

Before they even got to the point of making an arrest, a scapegoat took all the blame.

Even if they questioned it, they couldn't provide evidence to prove that the secretary wasn't the one who did it.

There is no way to prove that Fukuda Shin was the mastermind behind all of this.

As for her naive idea of ​​using online public opinion...

If a scapegoat is found and the case is directly defined, how can public opinion be stirred up?

Even the police officer who closed the case back then, if he had used negligence or carelessness as an excuse, would at most be demoted.

This was the first time Ran Mouri had encountered something like this.

In the past, every case they encountered was solved smoothly, with the murderer crying and confessing, giving her the illusion that as long as they investigated, they would definitely be able to find the truth.

But now, this illusion has been shattered in an instant.

They knew in their hearts who the mastermind was, but they were face to face with him and had no way to deal with him.

If it were back then, perhaps we could still find evidence to definitively prove him guilty, but thirteen years have passed now.

Thirteen years is too long.

So long that the remittance slip they used to reopen the case could be manipulated to have no connection to the murderer whatsoever.

This feeling is so suffocating.

It's like an invisible barrier enveloping you, making it hard to breathe.

"I go first."

Qingze put away the lighter, stood up, and left.

The scene was so boring, it was annoying to even look at.

He had never revealed his identity, and the case was apparently none of his business. He got up and left, and no one stopped him, except for Ran Mouri who anxiously chased after him.

"Mr. Qingze, wait for me!"

Qingze kept walking until he reached his car, at which point he stopped.

He leaned against the car, looking at Ran Mouri who was chasing after him, and said, "I won our bet."

"It's not over yet!"

Qingze raised an eyebrow at her. "Oh? Do you have any other ideas?"

"Truth serum! We'll use truth serum!" Ran Mouri gasped slowly.

Fukuda Shin's preparations were so thorough that he could easily make someone a scapegoat.

Ordinary methods simply won't work against him.

Qingze looked at her and suddenly smiled.

"Oh, don't you think this kind of thing is immoral? That it hurts others?"

Ran Mouri shook her head. "You have to use different methods for different people. To deal with a villain like this, you have to use the methods of a villain!"

Qingze looked at her in surprise. Was this really Ran Mouri, or had her soul replaced by someone else?

"I was too old-fashioned." Ran Mouri lowered her head, realizing her own naivety.

Qingze looked at her silently, unsure of what to say.

Although he had the idea of ​​changing her mind, heaven knows he hadn't done anything yet!

Ran Mouri grabbed his clothes. "You were the one who caused the disturbance at that charity gala, weren't you? You should still have that hallucinogen, right?"

Qingze doesn't like going to crowded places, and he wouldn't attend any banquets unless there was a reason.

He was definitely behind the hallucinogen incident at that charity gala.

Qingze lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on her face, and tilted his head slightly.

Aren't you going to reprimand me?

It's one thing not to know, but to accept it so readily after guessing it?

Ran Mouri shook her head. "Mr. Aozawa must have received a mission. He couldn't refuse the organization's mission. Mr. Aozawa only used hallucinogens, which is already a very mild method."

The deed is done, and she won't hold any grudges against Qingze because of what has already happened.

From the few days after they met, she knew who Qingze was, his identity, and that he was not in control of his own destiny.

Those who haven't experienced everything he went through have no right to stand on moral high ground and criticize him.

It's already quite remarkable that he can still maintain his original intentions.

Her moral standards are based on herself, not on others.

She wouldn't impose her own moral standards on Qingze.

To be honest, Aozawa is a little unaccustomed to Ran Mouri's change.

Is this the same person who said you shouldn't hurt others just a few days ago?

Qingze reached out and touched her forehead. She didn't have a fever.

Ran Mouri slapped his hand away speechlessly, "I'm not joking!"

She really, really cares about Qingze and wants to find out the truth about how Qingze ended up in the organization!

"I do still have that medicine, but I didn't bring it with me."

Qingze shrugged. He couldn't predict the future, so how could he have foreseen what was happening now?

"Didn't you say you had truth serum?"

"Just kidding. Most of my stuff was in the car, and it all got blown up that night."

Ran Mouri was startled and felt a lingering fear.

If she hadn't detonated the car in time that night, wouldn't the investigation have led to Qingze?

It's impossible to remove all fingerprints from such a large car, and once fingerprints are left, it becomes a problem.

Her brows furrowed. "Why didn't you tell me about something this serious?"

"I believe you."

A single, casual remark left Ran Mouri stunned.

This feeling of being completely trusted and having the future entrusted to you is like being struck by an electric current; every pore on your body opens up, silently expressing the ultimate joy and pleasure.

An uncontrollable smile spread across his face, and every strand of hair on his body seemed to be telling a story of joy.

"What are you laughing at?"

Ran Mouri shook her head and simply said:

"I also trust Mr. Qingze."

Qingze raised an eyebrow.

Did she misunderstand something?

That car wasn't a regular vehicle; it only contained a sniper rifle, a few pistols, some bullets, and some explosives.

There were no personal belongings.

As for fingerprints, there are Ran Mouri's fingerprints on the back seat.

However, there's no need to mention these things.

Chapter 151 Is this a way of kicking him out?

"Alright, I'm going back to Tokyo. You stay with your father. Now that the case has been overturned and a scapegoat has been found, Fukuda Shin won't touch you. You're safe right now."

"What's next? Are we just not going to investigate? We still don't know how you, Mr. Qingze, became the organization's guinea pig!"

Ran Mouri is very concerned about this matter and doesn't want to see the mastermind behind it all continue to live freely.

She wanted to use that hallucinogen to expose Fukuda Shin's evil deeds online, just like at that charity gala.

At that point, he will have absolutely no way to escape punishment!

"If you want hallucinogens, shouldn't you go back and get them? And why act on them so immediately? Are you trying to arouse suspicion?"

This hallucinogen won't cause amnesia after being taken. Fukuda Shin isn't stupid, so how could he not suspect him?

Even if you wanted to kill him, you'd have to do it alone and secretly.

If you were to do it in front of Ran Mouri, she would change her expression in a heartbeat.

“Once he thinks the matter is over, he can launch a surprise attack, and the other party will be less vigilant, making the interrogation easier.”

“Then I’ll go back with Mr. Qingze. I’m worried about you driving such a long distance when you’re injured.”

"Don't you dare! If you come with me, your old man will kill me."

I already find him incredibly annoying; what would happen if my daughter left with him?

"And I take the Shinkansen."

Hearing that he wouldn't drive, Ran Mouri was relieved.

"That's good. Let me know you're safe when you get home."

Aozawa drove away, and before Ran Mouri even entered the hall, she saw her father and Conan and the others coming out.

The expressions on everyone's faces were not good; the plan had failed.

"Are we just going to watch him get away with it?" Conan was extremely unwilling.

This was one of the rare situations where he knew who the murderer was, yet was powerless to do anything about it.

"Then what's your plan?" Kogoro Mouri was also quite annoyed.

But that's reality; most things in the world don't go as planned.

Conan remained silent.

"I'll keep an eye on that Fukuda family. This matter will definitely not be left unresolved!" Hattori Heiji had not lost his fighting spirit.

If we don't catch him red-handed this time, we'll do it next time!

Fukuda Shin is the kind of person who disregards the law; he will definitely commit crimes again, and they will eventually catch him.

"We've stayed in Kyoto long enough this time, we're going back. Hattori, you should go back to Osaka too."

Although the real culprit wasn't caught, at least the case was overturned. Kogoro Mouri planned to go back and tell Sachiko Matsui about the situation, and also give her a heads-up.

Heiji Hattori also has to go to school, so he said, "See you next time."

......

The Shinkansen journey was quick, and the three returned to the office before evening.

"I'm so exhausted..."

Kogoro Mori lay down on the sofa, completely unwilling to move.

Ran Mouri took out her phone and sent a message to Aoze.

[Mr. Qingze, I'm home. Have you arrived yet?]

We've arrived and are having lunch.

Seeing that he had said it, Ran Mouri felt relieved.

She turned to look at Conan, who was sitting on the sofa. "Conan, are your mom and dad back?"

Upon hearing Ran mention this, Conan's heart sank to the bottom.

Are they trying to get rid of him?

"You're back..."

He returned the day after his identity was exposed.
