Ran Mouri needs to exercise more.

"Once you get back, make sure you exercise more in your spare time. I almost broke climbing a flight of stairs..."

When will it be changed back?

"night."

In the hospital, Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki are watching the news.

The news footage was an aerial view of the Eye in the Sky, showing the entire Eye in the Sky severely damaged, which is enough to show how powerful the explosion was.

The reporter sitting in the helicopter looked sad.

To save the lives of tens of thousands of people, high school detective Shinichi Kudo sacrifices himself in the explosion...

"That kid is dead?" Kogoro Mori's eyes widened in disbelief.

This kid always seems to have a lucky life, but this time he just died like that?

Eri Kisaki frowned and shook her head. "I don't know..."

She wasn't sure if Yusaku Kudo had deliberately spread the false news that Shinichi Kudo was dead, or if Shinichi Kudo was really dead.

Kudo Yusaku had mentioned this plan to them before.

By using Shinichi's "death," the organization's gaze upon their family was completely severed, thus making up for the danger it had brought them.

"I'll call and say hello later..."

Kogoro Mouri glanced at the time, puzzled.

"It's already 12:30, why hasn't Xiaolan arrived yet?"

"They must have gone to the Eye of the Sky..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a knock sounded at the door. Then, Qingze pushed the door open and walked in.

Chapter 363 Your father is dead

Entering the ward and closing the door, Qingze took the food out of the lunchbox.

The girl's face showed some worry, but when she saw her parents, a smile appeared on her face.

"We were delayed on the way, and the food got a little cold. How is Dad?"

Ran Mouri, dressed in Aozawa's skin, also looked at Kogoro Mouri with worry in her eyes.

Eri Kisaki did not answer the question first, but instead looked at her daughter.

"They went to the Eye of the Sky?"

“Hmm…” Qingze nodded.

Eri Kisaki observed her daughter's expression and condition and found that she was alright, which gave her an idea of ​​Shinichi Kudo's situation.

They're probably not dead, but their condition is definitely not good.

"Your father is fine, he can be discharged from the hospital in a week, but he can't walk because of his injured leg, he will need to use crutches or a wheelchair."

Ran Mouri relaxed a little upon hearing this, relieved that nothing was wrong.

So much has happened in the last two days.

With his father injured and Shinichi nearly dying, Binga's revenge was both ruthless and precise.

Binga is unlikely to make any further moves in the near future.

Just then, Koniak's phone vibrated in his pocket.

[Chianti was seriously injured and lost consciousness; she was arrested by the police. —Rum.]

Upon seeing this message, her heart skipped a beat.

Chianti was arrested by the police?

Will she betray Qingze?

What measures will the organization take? What does Rum mean by deliberately sending him this message?

Seeing that the message had been read, the next message came quickly.

"You've rested long enough, Koniak. It's time to get back to work. Of course, if you want your life disrupted, you can stand by and do nothing. —Rum."

Ran Mouri tightened her grip on her phone, then casually put it back in her pocket.

The next ward.

Kaito Kuroba frowned as he looked at the news of Shinichi Kudo's death.

"Dead? Just like that, he died?"

One of his arch-enemies is dead?

There's always a sense of unreality to it.

Seeing her son's incredulous expression, Kuroba Chikage rolled her eyes.

"Don't even mention Shinichi Kudo, you almost died too."

Everyone dies; there's nothing unbelievable about it.

Some people remain the same after dying once, while others change after dying once, becoming strangers to her.

"Is it that organization's doing it again...?"

Kaito Kuroba frowned even more deeply.

Kuroba Chikage frowned sharply. "Kaito, I'm warning you, I finally managed to resolve the aftermath, so don't get involved with that organization again!"

"Mom, I didn't cause any trouble. I clearly didn't do anything..."

Kaito Kuroba felt wronged.

"Heh." Kuroba Chikage sneered.

Didn't do anything?

Becoming the Phantom Thief Kid, did he not do anything?

Although she herself was once a phantom thief, it doesn't mean she wants her son to be one too.

Although in various stories, the phantom thief is handsome, cool, and stylish, making him the most popular character among teenagers in their adolescence.

But in contrast, there is a constant danger.

If there's no danger, it's fine, but once something like this happens, a moment of carelessness could lead to death.

Even death is a good ending; being arrested, controlled, and forced to do things you don't want to do is the worst possible outcome.

Looking at his son, Kuroba Chikage said seriously:

"Kaito, if you're just trying to show off and enjoy the feeling of manipulating the police, then stop pretending to be Kaito Kid."

"What do you mean, trying to show off! Do you think I'm that kind of person?!"

Kaito Kuroba immediately turned up the volume.

He admits that he does enjoy being a phantom thief, but that's definitely not why he became Kid.

It all started with an accidental discovery of his own underground space, where he found Kaito Kid's suit and discovered that his father was Kaito Kid.

In order to find out the cause of his father's death, he became the Phantom Thief Kid. Later, after learning about the existence of Pandora, his goal became to find Pandora.

It wasn't something I did to show off or mess with the police.

He looked intently at his mother, "I'm here to find Pandora and destroy the delusions of those who killed Dad!"

Kuroba Chikage sighed and reached out to pat his head.

If your father also becomes one of those delusions, what will you do?

"You're all grown up now, and I can't control you anymore. If you encounter anything you can't handle, tell me right away."

A faint blush rose to Kaito Kuroba's face. He was so old, and his mother was still patting his head; it made him a little embarrassed.

Knowing his mother's worries, he softly hummed in agreement.

Thinking of Terai Kinosuke from yesterday, he hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"My dad..."

Kuroba Chikage interrupted him, her expression turning indifferent. "Your father is dead! He died eight years ago."

Kaito stared at her blankly, his fists clenched.

If the father is already dead, then who was the person last night?

He lowered his head and ultimately asked nothing.

……

After heating up the food, Eri Kisaki set up a table on the hospital bed, and Ran Mouri reached out to help.

The two of them set up the table, one on each side. Ran Mouri even thoughtfully helped her father sit up and put a pillow behind his back.

Kogoro Mouri awkwardly accepted Aozawa's care, saying, "You're quite good at taking care of people."

“I took care of my adoptive father until he passed away.”

"That's quite rare..."

Qingze placed the food on the table. "Dad, eat up. It's been so long since you've eaten anything."

Kogoro Mouri was indeed very hungry, and he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"Mom, you eat too." Qingze placed another dish on the other table.

"Aozawa, go buy me a pack of cigarettes." Kogoro Mouri made up an excuse to get rid of him.

Upon hearing the word "cigarette," Eri Kisaki shot her a sharp glare. "Why are you buying cigarettes! You need to quit smoking and drinking now!"

Kogoro Mouri screamed, "No!!"

Asking him to quit smoking and drinking is worse than killing him!

Qingze's eyes curved into a smile, revealing a mischievous glint of wanting to cause trouble, before quickly disappearing.

“Dad, you really need to quit smoking and drinking. The doctor said your liver and kidneys are in very poor condition. If you don’t quit smoking and drinking, you only have one or two years left to live.”

"ah???!"

Kogoro Mouri was stunned.

Only one or two years left? You're kidding me!

He instantly looked at his wife, Eri Kisaki, whose brows furrowed and her expression became unusually serious.

"Why would we need to lie to you about something like this?"

There's no need to give advance warning when it comes to scaring people, Eri Kisaki answered instantly.

Kogoro Mouri felt like the sky had fallen, but then he suddenly realized what was happening.

"Wait a minute, my last physical exam results were pretty good, weren't they?"

"The physical exam is just a basic check-up; it doesn't go into detail and it's hard to find anything. Dad, are you often listless? Is your memory failing? Are you sleepy? And do you experience occasional lower back and abdominal pain?"

"It seems... a bit..."

Kogoro Mouri felt it carefully and realized that it really did seem a bit like that.

"Look, the symptoms are already very obvious."

Kogoro Mouri looked ashen-faced.

damn...

Seeing that Qingze had frightened her father, Ran Mouri smiled and took the initiative to speak:

"Quitting smoking and drinking is good for your health. I'll go buy some chewing gum. If Mr. Mori wants to smoke, he can chew gum."

"Qingze" went to buy chewing gum, and suddenly only "the family of three" remained in the ward.

Kogoro Mouri composed himself somewhat and asked about the important matter at hand.

"How's that kid doing?"
