Detective Conan: Developing a younger version of Ran Eri, and the stunning Yukiko.

"As soon as the elevator doors opened, I saw this guy pointing a gun at us. I didn't know what was going on, but I figured it couldn't be anything good. So, I just subdued him."

"Pointing a gun at him?" Sakura was stunned for a moment, then looked at the subdued Oba again, only then noticing that the other man had a gun in his hand, and was immediately shocked.

However, at this moment, the gun was not in Oba's hand, but hanging on his hand. This was because Oba had a bag over his hand, and the gun fell into the bag after he let go of it.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Oba struggled desperately under Shiraishihara's control, but to no avail. His strength was like that of a three-year-old child in front of Shiraishihara.

177 Yuan Jun, you're amazing! Sleep with your sister again tonight!

Chapter 177

"You actually wanted to kill my dad? Why?" Sakura asked incredulously, tears welling up in her eyes, her expression filled with grief. Although there were three people in the elevator, Sakura knew in her heart that Oba's target was definitely her father.

At that moment, Tatsumi Taiji also stood up in the elevator. His face was pale from shock, but his anger was still hard to conceal. He glared at Oba, who was being held captive by Shiraishihara, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You still hold a grudge against me!"

"As expected?" Sakura was completely confused. Did her father and Oba have some kind of grudge?

"You bastard, you killed my father, who else should I hate if not you?" Oba admitted it directly.

"Dad, what exactly happened?" Sakura couldn't help but ask her father.

"He's just being unreasonable!" Boss Tatsumi said coldly. "More than twenty years ago, I acquired his father's company. I used normal business methods, and his father couldn't do anything about it. In the end, his father harbored malicious intentions and framed me with a murder case. Fortunately, a detective helped clear my name, and he has held a grudge against me ever since."

Da Chang, lying on the ground, sneered, "Heh... Stop with the pretense. My father was driven to desperation and chose suicide; wasn't that all part of your plan? Don't try to be all compassionate with your crocodile tears."

“If that’s the case, why should I keep you around?” Boss Tatsumi retorted.

"Of course, it's because you felt guilty after you killed my father," Tatsumi Taiji laughed loudly.

"I may not be a good person, and I've used some ruthless methods in the business world, but it's all been aboveboard! The reason I promoted you is because I act with integrity and have a clear conscience!"

Upon hearing Tatsumi Taiji's strong response, Manager Oba was stunned and had no idea how to refute it.

Sakurako stood to the side, tears streaming down her face, wiping them away as she questioned Ohba: "Ohba, did you approach me just to find a chance to kill my father?"

"Heh... There's no point in hiding it now. That's right, I was just using you!" Ooba Satoru laughed maniacally. "I'll make you taste the pain of losing your father."

“Waaah…” Miss Sakura immediately burst into tears.

Boss Tatsumi dialed the police. Upon hearing the news, the employees on the 38th floor who were attending the party rushed over and learned the details of the incident. They could hardly believe that Manager Taiba had actually attempted to murder the chairman.

Not long after, Inspector Megure led his officers to the scene and arrested Satoru Taiba, who had committed attempted murder.

Recalling the case, Megure couldn't help but sigh deeply, "Ah, Tokyo really can't do without high school detectives."

"Inspector, what exactly do you mean by that?" Takagi asked, looking completely bewildered.

Megure explained, “I was shocked when I first heard the details of the case. In fact, a similar case happened here twenty years ago, when I was just a patrolman. Coincidentally, the perpetrators in both cases targeted Tatsumi-sensei. And today’s perpetrator, Oba Satoru, is the son of the perpetrator from that case twenty years ago. Equally coincidentally, both times a detective was present at the scene and solved the case on the spot.”

"Oh? There's such a thing?" Takagi was intrigued upon hearing this. "Who was that detective twenty years ago?"

"It's Yusaku Kudo."

"What? That world-famous detective novelist?"

Takagi stared in surprise, her eyes widening.

Inspector Megure nodded and looked at Shiraishihara, saying, "Twenty years ago, Yusaku was a high school detective. Shiraishihara, also a high school detective, apprehended the culprit at the last moment before the murder occurred."

Police then took Oba Satoru away. Since a murder had occurred at the party, it was naturally impossible to continue, and the employees dispersed.

Miss Sakurako was still grieving over Oba Satoru's manipulation of her, and Boss Tatsumi comforted his daughter, saying, "My dear daughter, Oba Satoru used you and even tried to murder your father. Are you still saddened by losing him?"

"Of course I'm sad. I was deceived and taken advantage of by a bad person, and I almost married him. How can I not be sad?" Miss Sakura said while wiping away her tears.

"Daughter, forget him and start a new relationship."

As he spoke, Mr. Tatsumi nudged his daughter toward Shiraishihara, saying, “I think this detective is quite dashing, and I admire him greatly. You might want to try getting to know him.”

"What, what are you talking about!" Miss Sakura was quite startled and subconsciously looked at Shiraishihara. She had to admit that Shiraishihara was indeed charming and handsome enough to make one's heart flutter.

“Detective Shiraishi, I only have one daughter, and she is as beautiful as a fairy. Whoever marries her will inherit my game company…” Boss Tatsumi tempted Shiraishi.

"Mr. Tatsumi, I'm just a high school student..."

Shiraishi felt both helpless and amused. As a renowned detective, he was popular wherever he went in the detective community.

“It’s alright, Detective Shiraishi. My daughter is willing to wait for you to graduate, right, Sakurako?”

"Dad... please stop talking nonsense..." Sakura lowered her head shyly, seemingly without any intention of refusing.

"Let's talk about it after I graduate..." Shiraishi replied casually. While Sakura was indeed exceptionally beautiful, he wasn't the type to fall in love with every girl he met. Without a foundation of affection, it's difficult for love to blossom.

"Alright. It's settled then, Detective Shiraishi." Boss Tatsumi immediately made the decision.

Shiraishi remained noncommittal, feeling that he had a long time before graduating from high school and didn't take the matter to heart at all.

410 Professor Agasa stood to the side, filled with envy, wondering why Mr. Tatsumi didn't entrust his precious daughter to him. He believed he was fully capable of developing more fun games for the game company.

……

Shiraishi returned to the 23rd floor and met up with the three ladies. The three women had already had dinner and were enjoying the Tokyo night view from the observation deck.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."

As Shiraishi spoke, all three women turned their gazes to him.

"Why are you so late? Did something happen?" Yukiko, as the wife of a former famous detective and the mother of a current famous detective, was already used to this.

“That’s right. The game company’s boss was plotted against by his employees, but luckily I stopped him in time,” Shiraishi explained.

"Yukiko, you're amazing! Let's sleep together again tonight." Yukiko casually made up an excuse; she really couldn't feel comfortable if she didn't do this every day.

Ai gave a soft hum and crossed her arms. She knew in her heart that Shiraishihara would be sharing a room with Yukiko again tonight. But strangely, Conan, who clearly knew about this, showed no reaction at all.

178. A Long Drive into Eri's Landing

Chapter 178

"Ai, what are you thinking about?"

"I find it surprising that some people know the situation but do nothing."

"who is that?"

"Naturally, it's that famous detective, Shinichi Kudo."

"Kudo Shinichi!"

When Miyano Akemi heard this name, she was momentarily stunned.

She had only just started working as a maid at the Kudo household and was still completely clueless about many things.

It wasn't until she returned to the Kudo family home that she understood the meaning behind her sister's words.

Yukiko Kudo made no attempt to hide her feelings and pulled Shiraishihara straight into the room.

Xiao Ai hurriedly returned to her room, put on her sleep-inducing headphones, and prepared to rest.

Akemi Miyano stood blankly in the living room, unsure of what to do.

"Mrs. Kudo's husband and son are both very famous figures, one is a well-known writer and the other is a famous detective, but neither of them comes home often. Doesn't anyone care about Mrs. Kudo?"

Out of curiosity, Akemi Miyano stood outside the bedroom door.

some day.

Eri Kisaki has been asked to handle a divorce case.

Originally, she didn't want to take on divorce cases. Unexpectedly, the client went to the Japan Bar Association to report her, accusing her of lacking professional ethics and refusing clients without cause.

Under normal circumstances, as long as Eri Kisaki can provide a reasonable explanation, she can refuse the client's request, and the report will not have any effect.

However, the key issue is that she simply cannot provide a reasonable explanation.

Moreover, her 100% success rate in litigation had long aroused the jealousy of her peers, so the Japan Bar Association naturally wouldn't speak up for her.

Thus, Eri Kisaki was forced to accept the commission.

The client was the director of the private clinic "Hotohara Clinic," named Hotohara Chosei.

He plans to sue his wife for divorce because she is having an affair.

Nagatoshi Hodohara had previously consulted with Eri Kisaki at her law firm about the matter.

On the day the incident occurred, Eri Kisaki went to the clinic to look for evidence that would benefit Nagatohara, but an unexpected event suddenly occurred.

Nagatohara died in the clinic, and Eri Kisaki became the first person to discover the body, and at the same time, she naturally became the prime suspect.

Police suspect that Eri Kisaki is the murderer of her client and have provided sufficient motive for the crime.

Eri Kisaki was forced by Nagao Hodohara to take on a divorce case she did not want to handle. Harboring resentment, she killed Nagao Hodohara. This motive seems to be plausible!

Eri Kisaki was momentarily speechless and flustered. But then a clever idea struck her: to use the detective's help to clear her name.

Eri Kisaki naturally wouldn't go to the unreliable detective Mouri, but instead specifically sought out the reliable high school detective Shiraishihara.

Shiraishi received a call from Eri Kisaki and learned about the situation.

Without the slightest hesitation, he accepted the commission. After all, it was his mother-in-law's commission, so how could he refuse?

Shiraishi rushed to the scene, which immediately displeased Shiratori Ninzaburo, who was in charge of the case.

He always considered himself an elite member of the Metropolitan Police Department and looked down on detectives interfering in and assisting with cases.

"Detective Shiraishi, what are you doing here? I don't need a detective meddling in my business."

Shiratori Ninzaburo gently brushed a strand of hair from his forehead, striking a pose that belied his unique detective persona, as if he were worlds apart from other ordinary criminals.

Eri Kisaki coldly replied, "I'm the one who called him over."

"Attorney Fei, what do you want with the detective?" Shiratori Renzaburo asked, his face full of displeasure and his tone accusatory.

"I've been framed as a murderer by you, you muddle-headed detective, so of course I need to find a reliable detective to clear my name."

Eri Kisaki stood with her hands on her hips, furious. First, she was forced to take on a divorce case she didn't want to handle, and then she was unjustly accused of murder by the police. Her luck had been absolutely terrible.

“Officer Shiratori, Attorney Kisaki is a very famous lawyer. If she is wrongly accused, this matter will not be easily resolved,” Shiraishi added at the right time.

“Alright.” Shiratori Renzaburo understood the stakes involved; Eri Kisaki was no ordinary person, and he certainly couldn’t afford to offend her.

Shiraishi Hara walked up to Eri Kisaki and carefully examined his outstandingly beautiful mother-in-law.

She was dressed in a typical office lady outfit, a smart professional suit, with her long, slender legs in black stockings peeking out from under the pencil skirt, paired with elegant high heels.

Her brown hair was styled in an updo, and her fair neck had a beautiful line, exuding an elegant temperament.

Wearing frameless glasses, she exuded an intellectual beauty. Every gesture she made radiated the unique charm of a mature woman.

My mother-in-law is so beautiful, it's impossible to look away!

"Aunt Fei, I didn't cause any trouble, did I?"

"No, let me tell you about the clues that the police currently have."

Eri Kisaki is simple-minded and only wants Shiraishihara to help her clear her name as soon as possible. She immediately recounted the whole story to Shiraishihara in detail.

As expected of a professional lawyer, Eri Kisaki explained the situation clearly and methodically, and Shiraishihara quickly gained a clear understanding of the ins and outs of the case.

This is a murder case, and there are three other suspects besides Eri Kisaki.

The clinic where the crime occurred was next to a bungalow, where two people were in the living room at the time.

When Eri Kisaki discovered the body, Nagatomo Hodohara's wife (Natsuki) was having tea and chatting with her friend (Mayuka) in the living room. The two knew each other because they were both housewives.

Another woman named Qiu Jiazhuangzi had arranged to meet Mr. Changsheng in the afternoon, but arrived at the clinic after the police and paramedics had arrived. Therefore, she was also listed as a suspect by the police.

All four individuals, including Eri Kisaki, have undergone initial questioning by the police.

According to the forensic examination, the cause of death was poisoning.

On the desk was a half-finished coffee mug. Police detected a toxic reaction in the remaining coffee and found a bottle containing poison in the room. The label on the bottle clearly indicated the name of the poison, vodka.

Furthermore, the distinctive almond smell of the poison (mod) could be detected in the victim's mouth. This almost certainly confirms that the victim died from poisoning, specifically potassium cyanide.

After listening to Eri Kisaki's explanation, Shiraishihara said without hesitation, "Excluding Attorney Kisaki, this is a classic three-way choice situation."
