Stay away from Conan.

"Gray, Grayhara!"

Seeing Ai appear here, Conan was startled and felt extremely shocked that Ai appeared here.

"Officer Shiratori? Ai?"

At the same time, Xiaolan was also surprised by the appearance of Officer Shiratori and Xiaoai:

"You guys are here too? So... is Mr. Akechi here too?"

"Could it be that... Gao Mu invited you guys to his wedding?"

This is Kogoro Mori's judgment on the current situation.

In this regard, after listening to what Kogoro Mori said, Takagi was even more speechless. He didn't know how to explain it to Kogoro Mori. He could only helplessly laugh bitterly.

At the same time, Miyamoto Yumi, who was lying on Takagi's shoulder with a smile on her face, also said to Takagi with a smile:

"Oh, how's it going, dear?"

In this way, Yumi Miyamoto joked, as if she was agreeing with what Kogoro Mori and the others said.

——"Hey, Yumi!"

However, just after Miyamoto Yumi finished saying this, Sato Miwako also walked out of the hall and said to Miyamoto Yumi, who was smiling at the moment, in a serious tone:

"Do you know this? You are the target of the attack!"

"Ah, yes! Got it!"

After hearing what Sato Miwako said, Miyamoto Yumi saluted Sato Miwako in a bit of a mischievous way and responded like this.

As a result, facing Miyamoto Yumi's attitude, Sato Miwako was a little impatient and grabbed Miyamoto Yumi's cheek and pulled it, and couldn't help but said:

"And...you're getting too carried away!"

"Yes, yes...I understand! I understand!"

Seeing that Sato Miwako looked a little angry, Miyamoto Yumi didn't continue as if she was joking, and could only beg for mercy as if she had admitted defeat.

"That, that..."

"What's going on?"

"What do you mean by 'target of attack'?"

One after another, watching the scene happening before their eyes, Kogoro Mouri, Ran and Conan felt even more puzzled and confused.

——"It means literally, 'the target of attack'!"

However, at this moment, Gao Yuan's figure walked out from the hall and said this to Conan.

"Hey?"

What's even more confusing is that Conan and the others don't understand. After all, Officer Takagi and Officer Yumi Miyamoto are "going to get married"?

And Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai...

What on earth are you doing?

"Actually..."

As a result, at this moment, Inspector Megure came out from behind Conan and the others, and began to talk with some emotion, as if he had no intention of hiding it from Maori Kogoro and the others...

……

"What? A robber is going to attack this newlywed couple?"

After being called to the hall where Officer Takagi and others came out, Officer Megure told them what happened. Then Kogoro Mori looked at Officer Takagi and Yumi Miyamoto in shock and couldn't help but shout out.

"No...they are the stand-ins for the newlyweds."

Seeing that Kogoro Mori seemed unable to come back to his senses for a while, Gao Yuan on the side couldn't help but remind him.

Then, Officer Megure elaborated:

"The people who were actually threatened were the real bride and groom who came to call the police... Half a year ago, the bride's home was attacked by masked robbers. Fortunately, the groom arrived at that time and drove the robbers away, but before the robbers left, they said - "'You bastard, I will never forget this hatred!'"

In this way, Inspector Megure elaborated on some details, but Maori Kogoro was a little puzzled and said:

"But isn't this a common line used by bad guys when they are fleeing in panic? Why do we need to use a stand-in?"

Obviously, Kogoro Mori didn't think that what Inspector Megure said was anything worth making such a big fuss about. He even let the police pretend to be a newlywed couple, just to guard against such a robber?

"If it was an ordinary robber, of course it wouldn't be necessary, but judging from the murder weapon left at the scene, the fingerprints found on it are exactly the same as someone else's..."

Seeing what Maori Kogoro was thinking, Officer Shiratori explained seriously and solemnly:

"It's the fingerprint of the serial robber and murderer who committed four robberies and took six lives!"

"His modus operandi was to sneak into the house quietly while the owner was sleeping, slit his throat with a knife and kill him, then take away all the valuables and set the house on fire. His method was quite cruel!"

Miwako Sato added.

"Moreover, the night before yesterday, a letter with the following words was received in the mailbox of the bride's home..."

Then, Takagi Wataru followed up on Sato Miwako's topic and said seriously:

"'Congratulations on your wedding. I will hold a grand celebration for you...'

"It's probably a note like this."

"Ah? How come? If he's such a dangerous person, no wonder you guys would think of using a substitute..."

Now, after hearing the basic picture of the matter, Kogoro Mori finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

However, even so, Xiaolan still cares about another thing:

"But why did Officer Takagi and Officer Yumi pretend to be the bride and groom?"

"Eh? Aren't Takagi and I a good match?"

When Yumi Miyamoto saw Xiaolan asking this, she asked back with a hint of joking, and at the same time glanced at Sato Miwako.

In this regard, Sato Miwako ignored Miyamoto Yumi's gaze, but took out a photo and explained:

"There's nothing I can do. After all, the bride and groom look...similar to them..."

As he said this, he saw the photo that Sato Miwako took out. The young man and woman leaning against each other in the photo did look a bit like Takagi and Miyamoto Yumi.

"I see..."

Maori Kogoro nodded and said affirmatively:

“It does look like…”

"By the way..."

At this time, Conan looked at Xiao Ai and "Takato" present, wondering:

"Why are you guys here too, Mr. Akechi?"

"Well..."

Seeing Conan asking about this, Gao Yuan waved his hand helplessly and said:

"It was a coincidence. I was walking around with Ai and I ran into Officer Miyamoto. After he told me about the situation, he came to see me..."

"That's it..."

After hearing Gao Yuan's explanation, Conan nodded and did not ask any more questions. Then he turned to Officer Megure and asked:

"So, is the actual wedding ceremony canceled?"

"Because the groom strongly hoped that the ceremony would be held on time, there was no..."

Inspector Megure said this.

As a result, as soon as these words came out, Gao Yuan on the side interrupted and said:

"Inspector Megure, regarding this matter, I actually still want to suggest that you should advise the two newlyweds to postpone their ceremony!" (End of this chapter)
