…… Since her parents separated when she was very young and her father, Kogoro Mori, was a fool, Xiaolan's housework skills were perfected early on, and her cooking skills were honed. Even her best friend, the super rich girl Sonoko, who was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, recognized her cooking skills. With such cooking skills and the fact that Xiaolan was in a good mood today and wanted to show off her cooking skills, Conan was greeted with a table full of delicious food. In the past, Conan would have fought with the unimportant Maori for the food and eaten it with relish. But now, Conan had no intention of enjoying the food and just mechanically stuffed the food into his mouth and chewed and swallowed it. (If you think about it carefully, even though Dr. Agasa's anesthetic needle is extremely effective, most of the time after being shot by the anesthetic gun, my uncle would stagger around and find a seat to sit down. It's weird no matter how you think about it...) (And even if Uncle was so confused, after so many times of anesthesia, he should have sensed something was wrong...) (But he also said something like whether his other detective personality had awakened. He also accepted the setting of the sleeping detective more calmly than anyone else... It's like he was deliberately making excuses for me!) "Conan?" (Besides, who would be so confident about a child staying at their home? And why hasn’t anyone contacted the parents in weeks? My uncle used to be a policeman. Even if he resigned many years ago, he would definitely be more vigilant in such a situation!) "Conan!" (It seems that there is only one truth! Uncle...)
"Conan!!!" After calling Conan several times without any response, Xiaolan finally couldn't bear it anymore and raised her voice suddenly, interrupting Conan's thoughts that had already been completely confused and scaring him. "Really? What are you thinking about? You don't even eat properly, and you don't respond when I call you! Do you think you don't like the food I made today?" "I'm sorry, Xiaolan, I was just thinking about school! We're all going to play video games at Professor Agasa's house this weekend~" Conan, who knew how powerful Xiaolan was, quickly put his hands together and begged for mercy, then took a few bites of rice and vegetables and said in an exaggerated tone, "It's delicious! The food you made, Xiaolan~" "Humph!" Xiaolan rolled her eyes at Conan, who was desperate to survive, and then slowly stood up as Conan had an ominous premonition. "I originally thought that the healthy recipes my father talked about might be too cruel to children. After all, although they are healthy, they don't taste very good. But now I think what my father said makes sense!" "... the healthy recipes that uncle mentioned?" Conan's tongue was tied. boom! Xiaolan slammed the large cup with a capacity of two liters on the table. The strange green color of the sticky liquid in the cup was exactly the same as Conan's current expression. "Maurilan's special healthy drink for children! The main ingredients are green pepper and bitter melon. Of course, I also added carrots and raisins for flavoring." "From today on, Conan, you have to drink a big cup every day!" …… If Conan, who was forced to drink a children's health drink by Xiaolan at the Mouri Detective Agency, is about to "go to heaven", then Mouri Kogoro, who had a high-end French meal with his wife Kisaki Eri, took advantage of the good atmosphere to go to a luxury hotel, and then did some hearty adult digestion exercise, is still immersed in the afterglow of "heaven". Holding his wife's delicate body in his arms, feeling her skin that was as tight and smooth as the finest silk, comparable to that of an 18-year-old girl, Kogoro Mori really wanted to slap himself before he turned on the switch in his brain. She is beautiful, has a good figure, is successful in her career, and is devoted to you... She is a wife with countless advantages, so why should you separate? It's all Conan's fault! We must enroll that kid in a cram school right away! Just as Maori Kogoro was thinking about this and that and unreasonably treating Conan as the "pot king", Kisaki Eri, who buried her head deeply in his chest, spoke softly:
"Kogoro, tomorrow..." "Ok?" "……nothing." Kogoro Mori, who had begun to understand everything, understood what his wife meant at this moment. He immediately leaned down gently and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "I might be busy tomorrow because I have a case involving a big star to deal with. I'll come see you the day after tomorrow~" "……Um." "Please forgive my selfish behavior, Eri. Because no matter how I think about it, I feel that the undefeated queen of the legal world must have a husband who is a famous detective worthy of her!" "Kogoro~" Hearing this, Kisaki Eri, whose heart almost melted, blushed and raised her chin slightly. The second round of adults’ digestion exercise has begun! Chapter 4: Inspector Megure begins to appear Although he told his wife Eri that he had an important case involving a big star to deal with the next day, in fact, after Maori returned to the detective agency the next day, he waited until the agency closed in the evening before welcoming the big star. That’s right, it’s the most popular idol in Japan today and also Maori’s favorite artist, Nichimi TV host Okino Yoko. Perhaps from the information obtained after the magical switch in his brain was turned on, Kogoro Mouri could learn that this case could only be regarded as a very insignificant one among the many cases he would solve in the future, but he attached great importance to it. On the one hand, Kogoro Mori hopes to use this case to get closer to Okino Yoko, a famous star who has extensive connections and whom he likes very much; on the other hand, he also hopes to use this case to formally show off his reputation in front of the police. After all, in some of the cases that Conan solved using his identity before, he only arrived at the scene after the police had solved the cases, but this time he is going to demonstrate his entire reasoning process in front of the police. …… "So, Ms. Yoko, you want me to secretly investigate this stalker who is bothering you?" "Isasaeng meal?" Yoko looked at Maori with some confusion. "Oh, sorry, I mean the weird guy who secretly monitored you, Miss Yoko, and then made anonymous phone calls and sent you strange photos." Mao Li quickly changed his words and said, "In our detective industry, we are used to calling people who bother celebrities sasaeng fans." (Is there such a term in the detective industry? Or is this some police terminology that the uncle used to use when he was a policeman? It seems that I still have a lot to learn...) Conan, who has been completely "Di-ized" and feels that everything Maori says and does has a deeper meaning, is thinking about this on his own - he has no way of guessing that this is actually the strange switch in Maori Kogoro's mind that was turned on, giving him knowledge that even Maori himself finds strange. By the way, in addition to this strange knowledge, Mao Li also obtained vague information about the cases he would encounter in the future and some things that would happen around him - for example, this case involving Okino Yoko, he knew that this case had occurred and that it was a murder case, but the details were very vague. "That's it," Okino Yoko nodded slightly, "Yes, I do hope that you can investigate secretly, Mr. Maori. After all, you are also aware of my identity as an artist... Of course, please rest assured that I will give you sufficient compensation in terms of remuneration." "The normal amount of compensation will do, Ms. Yoko."
Maori Kogoro smiled and waved his hand, "I just hope that I can take a photo with you at that time. It would be even better if you can get an autograph. After all, I am also your super fan~" …… Flowing water has no shape, drifting wind cannot find any trace, and the reasoning of any case depends on the heart - when Kogoro Mori and his companions came to the 25th floor of a high-end apartment where Yoko Okino lived, what appeared before their eyes was not only the corpse of a man with a miserable death in Yoko's room, but also three children who followed them secretly and were scared half to death when they saw the corpse. Although Kogoro Mori had never seen them before, he instantly remembered their three names - Gan, Wen, and Cui! (What is Ganbuncui! It's Kojima Genta, Yoshida Ayumi and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko!) Knocking his head in annoyance, Maori Kogoro stepped forward with a serious expression, blocked the door, and stood in front of everyone: "Ran, go contact the police and the ambulance! Ms. Yoko and Mr. Agent, please help take care of these three children outside for the time being! Conan, follow me to the scene!" Maori gave orders fluently and with great vigor, and everyone started to act - even Conan, whose body first made the move to follow Maori into the scene, only then did his brain realize that it was very abnormal for Maori to let a child like him enter the crime scene. (Uncle, he really is...) …… Although he knew very well that Conan, this fake elementary school student, might understand the process of solving the case better than himself, Maori still pretended to be serious and told him: "Conan, you are a very naughty boy. If no one is watching you for a while, you will probably find a way to sneak into the scene, so I might as well let you come in with me... But listen carefully! Don't touch anything at the scene. If you find anything strange, notify me immediately, understand?" "……clear!" Conan, who had received the official permission from Mori to investigate the crime scene for the first time, didn't bother to think about what Mori's real thoughts were at this time, and nodded happily. …… "Uncle, do you think this room..." "The air conditioning is too high," Maori knew what Conan wanted to say, and he noticed this and decisively turned his head to look at Okino Yoko who was gently taking care of three children outside the door, "Ms. Yoko, do you usually set the air conditioner in your house to such a high temperature?" "Eh? Air conditioning? No," Yoko shook her head and then showed a confused expression, "And I clearly remember turning off the air conditioner before going out, how strange..." "Humph, it looks like the criminal wants to disrupt our deduction of the victim's time of death..." Maori stroked his chin and said this. Conan also agreed with his inference and nodded slightly. On the street outside the building, the sound of urgent sirens could be heard. …… As the most popular and profitable idol in Japan, Yoko Okino's life is not particularly luxurious. Although the apartment she lives in is considered a high-end apartment for ordinary people, it is actually very average in the entire Japanese entertainment industry. However, since she chose to live here, she must have considered many aspects - it is quiet and low-key, and convenient for travel, needless to say, it is very close to the Metropolitan Police Department, and the high security is also something that Yoko, who lives alone, cares about. Therefore, Kogoro Mouri's colleague when he was a policeman, his old friend for many years, a model worker in the police force, Inspector Juzo Megure of the Third Division of the Criminal Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department was able to arrive with his subordinates in such a short time. "Why is it you, Maori brother..."
When they were working as a police partner to solve cases, Kogoro Mouri would often lead everyone into a maze that they couldn't get out of. Therefore, when Inspector Megure saw Mouri, he didn't feel very happy. Instead, he was full of disgust and helplessness. Maori was also helpless and could only smile awkwardly - he had to swallow the consequences of his own actions. "So what? What exactly is going on?" Inspector Megure continued to ask. Chapter 5: Kogoro Maori and Conan Edogawa begin to cooperate After all, Kogoro Mouri was an elite policeman in his day, so when faced with Inspector Megure's questions, he quickly reported to the other party the basic situation he knew and the handling of the crime scene he had discovered using the language the police are accustomed to - not only was it organized, but it was also concise, comprehensive and specific. "So, the biggest suspects in this locked room murder case are Ms. Okino Yoko, the owner of this house and this murderous blade, and Mr. Yamagishi Eiichi, her agent who may have obtained her spare key?" After listening to Mori's report, Inspector Megure stroked his beard and cast a scrutinizing look at Okino Yoko and her agent standing beside him. "How could that be? Mr. Policeman! How could I kill someone?" "Yes! Mr. Policeman! Miss Yoko and I can't be the murderer!" Faced with Inspector Megure's suspicion, Yoko Okino and her agent both showed the reactions that normal people would have. "Inspector Megure, although your suspicion is not unreasonable, from my personal point of view, the criminal is not Miss Yoko and her agent Mr. Yamagishi Eiichi." Mao Li said calmly, "Moreover, rather than hastily identifying the suspect now, I think the multiple suspicious points at the scene are what we should focus on." "Many suspicious points?" "That's right," Mao Li nodded, "Suspicion one, the room temperature is too high. According to Miss Yoko, she turned off the air conditioner before going out, and even if she forgot to turn it off, this temperature is very abnormal in this weather and season; Suspicion two, although only a little, but there are signs of moisture around the body. In addition to this mark, there is no other wet place in the whole room; Suspicion three, in such a messy crime scene, only the chair at the feet of the deceased is well placed... As for suspicion four, Conan!" Maori did not finish his words at once, but gave Conan a chance to speak openly - he needed to give the police and others a feeling that "this kid is very smart and can discover many details", so that he could naturally bring him to various crime scenes in the future and better exploit the other party's reasoning ability. "Eh……?" Conan was confused by Maori's sudden words, but he quickly calmed down and pretended to be an innocent child, "What? Oh Kashiza, there seems to be something in the hand of this dead uncle?" "Nani?" Inspector Megure did not reflect on how useless the forensic personnel he brought with him were. Instead, he was led by Conan and Maori to lean over and get closer to the body of the deceased. "Indeed, in the deceased's hand... is this hair?" "Yes, it is hair, and judging from its length, it is a woman's hair, if nothing unexpected happens." As Mao Li said this, he walked towards the sofa in the room under everyone's puzzled gaze, "Besides that, the fifth suspicion is the earrings that were lost in this strange place and are not Miss Yoko's style at all!" While Maori was secretly smuggling some contraband, he wrapped the earrings he found under the sofa in a handkerchief and showed them to everyone. "This... this looks like Miss Yuko's earrings?" Okino Yoko was surprised. "It's the one who debuted at the same time as me, Ms. Ikezawa Yuko." The agent at the side was also thoughtful: "If that's the case, Ms. Ikezawa seemed to be a little bit upset with Yoko because the heroine of the TV series was suddenly replaced by Yoko..." "Yoshi! Have someone bring Miss Ikezawa Yuko to the police station right now... No, have her come here to cooperate with the investigation!"
Inspector Megure gave the order. …… "Are you kidding? If a murder was found in Yoko's room, Yoko should be suspected, right?" Although she was forced to cooperate and came to the scene, Miss Ikezawa Yuko, who seemed to have a bad temper, had a very bad attitude. "This is my first time here and it has nothing to do with me!"
