Stay away from Conan.

"Ah! Really? Xiaolong is on your side?"

The cheongsam woman squatted down and hurried over to ask Gao Yuan, who was connected to the detective badge in Conan's hand, and asked nervously.

  In response to this, Gao Yuan on the other side of the badge said affirmatively:

"Yes, Xiaolong is here. He seemed to have escaped on his own and met Xiaolan... Now he is with us."

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but come forward and said quickly:

"I won't go into the details for now. You must protect the child well now!"

In this case, Maori Kogoro did not ask Gao Yuan and the others to bring Xiaolong here, but only mentioned that he should be protected -

Therefore, Gao Yuan could not help but speculate about Maori Kogoro's response. After all, he had just heard Conan's conversation and learned that the woman originally thought that Xiaolong was kidnapped. Now she didn't let him take Xiaolong back. She was probably worried that he would be in danger if he went back...

But Conan is on their side, and he looks so much like Xiaolong...

  For a moment, thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but guess what Maori Kogoro was thinking, and wondered if Maori Kogoro was really so bold as to make such a decision?

——“Thank you, thank you!”

At this time, after hearing that Kogoro Mori asked Gao Yuan and others to protect Xiaolong, the cheongsam woman sincerely expressed her gratitude to Kogoro Mori.

In response, Maori Kogoro smiled and asked the woman with great concern:

"Then, ma'am, why do you think your son will be kidnapped?"

After hearing this question, because he now knew that the man with a mustache in front of him who he had mistakenly brought here was the famous Japanese detective Maori Kogoro, he couldn't help but think for a moment, and finally explained to him:

"My husband runs a Hong Kong IT company called 'Ching'."

"Huh? Is it that big IT company invested by overseas Chinese?"

After hearing this, Kogoro Maori looked at the woman in front of him with some surprise. He didn't expect that she was the wife of the company's operator!

——"Hong Kong IT company? How could Maori Kogoro know about this company?"

At this moment, Gao Yuan, who also heard these words on the other side, felt a little curious in his heart.

“Yes… the company is among the best in the IT industry for its encryption software.”

Nodding, the woman continued:

"In the online world, files and information are usually transmitted via e-mail, but hackers can easily see the contents of the files. My husband's company develops software that converts important files into very difficult-to-decrypt encrypted files before sending them out."

"Well, I've heard of it... But it seems that Mr. Dragon King passed away a few days ago?"

Holding his chin with one hand, Kogoro Mouri thought.

——"Mr. Dragon King passed away a few days ago..."

While listening to the information from the badge, Gao Yuan was also looking up information about the IT company called "Qing". He learned that the main operator of the company, the man called "Mr. Ryuo", was called "Qing Ryuo", and he had passed away a few days ago. As for his wife, her name was Meiling, which seemed to be the name of the woman who was talking to Conan.

"So the company is called 'Qing', and he himself is called 'Mr. Ryuo'... But why does Maori Kogoro know this? Because... it's the Tokiwa Group?"

Looking at the information he had checked, Gao Yuan found that the "Qing" company had cooperated with the Tokiwa Group. He couldn't help but feel that the connection might be here.

  "Yes." At this time, when Gao Yuan was looking up the information, Mei Ling, the cheongsam woman on the other side, responded to Maori Kogoro's words and said:

"And my husband also left this incredible suicide note..."

Over at the luxurious mansion, Misuzu took out a suicide note and handed it to Kogoro Mori.

So, Maori Kogoro took the suicide note, and Conan took the opportunity to look up and see the contents of the suicide note.

However, after seeing that all the content was written in Chinese characters, Kogoro Mouri and Conan both felt a little overwhelmed.

  Therefore, after noticing the expressions of the two people, Meiling immediately realized the problem and explained the contents of the suicide note to them in Japanese:

"'The mouse with a tail on its head, the end is in the middle of the beginning, dissolve the wallpaper on the table, and call yourself my true heir! The time limit is within one week after my death.'"

  After Misuzu finished explaining the contents of the suicide note, Maori Kogoro felt even more overwhelmed:

"As expected of the president of an encryption company, I have no idea what he means."

Conan was thinking about this.

"Mouse, end, beginning, wallpaper..."

——"It's just some very basic computer stuff... The only problem is what the word 'dissolve' means..."

On Gao Yuan's side, after hearing what was said, Gao Yuan thought this in his heart.

"Therefore, according to this suicide note that has been witnessed and confirmed by a lawyer, if Xiaolong cannot decipher the code, he will not be eligible to inherit the company. At that time, both the estate and the company will be transferred to my husband's younger brother.

"The fire dragon who conquered the world with my husband, that's what was written in the suicide note."

When Meiling said this, she walked to a portrait on the wall of the mansion.

In this painting, a middle-aged man with a beard and looks very majestic, who should be the Dragon King, is sitting in the middle, Meiling is standing on one side of him, a little dragon who looks like Conan is standing on the other side, and behind the little dragon, there is a middle-aged man wearing glasses and who is slightly fat, standing there, and it seems that he is the "fire dragon" that Meiling mentioned.

"Five days have passed in a week. Xiaolong still hasn't figured out the code, but Xiaolong is always smart. I'm worried that Huolong might do something bad, like kidnapping, out of fear that Xiaolong might figure it out."

Meiling finally said this worriedly.

"I see, that's what's going on. I understand. Xiaolong is the only important heir of the Qing family..."

Nodding slightly, Maori Kogoro roughly understood the situation, and then he walked behind Conan, patted Conan's shoulders with both hands, and suggested:

"Then let Conan be the substitute!"

"what?"

Suddenly, Conan was a little flustered about Kogoro Mouri's decision.

--"really……"

On the other side, Gao Yuan, who heard this through the badge, couldn't help but hold his forehead. He didn't expect that Maori Kogoro really had this idea...

Let Conan be a substitute to protect Xiaolong, and let Xiaolong stay on his side to ensure his safety. In this way, the fire dragon that may be hostile to Xiaolong will only pay attention to Conan who is over there...

Conan was involved in the internal disputes of a Hong Kong IT company, Maori Kogoro...

Could it be because Mrs. Meiling is pretty? (End of this chapter)
