I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 429 Am I the kind of person who can withstand tests? (2 updates)
After leaving the room, Kogoro Mouri did not go directly to Yumi Horikoshi. Instead, he gave E Shiraishi a phone number and asked her to meet him at the bar inside the resort hotel.

Kogoro Mori tapped his fingers impatiently on the bar; the ice in his glass of whiskey had long since melted.

The moment Shiraishi E pushed open the glass door of the bar, he practically jumped up and waved.

"Over here! Quickly!" Mori lowered his voice, but couldn't hide the panic in his tone.

Shiraishi E slowly sat down and snapped her fingers at the bartender: "Yamazaki 18-year-old, neat."

He then turned to Mori: "What? Did that woman confront Attorney Kisaki?"

“No, that’s not it,” Kogoro Mori muttered.

"Then why are you in such a hurry?" Shiraishi E glanced at Mouri Kogoro with disdain, thinking that the other party was really no good.

He can't even handle a woman!
Kogoro Mouri grabbed E Shiraishi's wrist and said, "Big brother, you have to think of something for me! I feel like this is getting out of my control!!"

Shiraishi E was somewhat speechless: "If you can't handle it, why did you provoke them in the first place? You can go to Ginza, spend some money, and solve the problem. There's nothing shameful about it!"

"I...I...I don't know either." Kogoro Mouri grabbed his hair in frustration and said, "I see those guys on TV who have affairs outside, and they seem to do it all so easily, don't they?"

"Why does it become so difficult when it comes to me?"

"Because you're a good person!" Shiraishi E said with amusement.

"Huh? Just because I'm a good person, she treats me like this?" Kogoro Mouri said, feeling very upset.

“Of course, because you know how to handle it.” Shiraishi E said bluntly, “Look at you, you’re already panicking before they even have a chance to threaten you.”

"If they really confront Attorney Fei directly, how panicked will you be?"

"This...this...this..." Kogoro Mouri stammered, unable to make sense of it.

After watching Shiraishi E take the glass from the bartender, he asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"

Shiraishi took a sip of Yamazaki 18 and said, "Slap her first, give her a good beating!! Make her understand the difference between a king and a queen, and know her place."

"Huh? That's ruthless?" Kogoro Mouri was shocked. He found it hard to believe that the gentle and refined E Shiraishi would do such a thing.

“If you’re not ruthless, people will take advantage of you!” Shiraishi E smiled and said, “And right now, you’re the one being taken advantage of.”

"This...hitting people is bad, hitting people is wrong." Kogoro Mouri shook his head, feeling that he still couldn't do such a thing.

Knowing that Kogoro Mouri wouldn't have the guts, Eya Shiraishi said, "Let's lay our cards on the table!"

Kogoro Mori quickly asked, "Show your cards on the table? How?"

Shiraishi E swirled her glass, the ice cubes clinking together crisply: "There are only two possibilities when a woman sets her sights on a man."

"Either they're after the money, or they're after the people!!"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri muttered, "Where would I get money? So she's definitely after me!"

Shiraishi E rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you pretending to be poor in front of me?"

"You own a building in Tokyo, and that alone puts you ahead of 99% of the people in Tokyo!"

"Not to mention you make 40 yen a month just from renting out the first floor to Poirot Cafe! You're telling me you don't have money? You're kidding me."

Kogoro Mouri chuckled awkwardly, "This is just for living expenses... It's all gone after eating and drinking, where would we get the money?"

Shiraishi E looked at him like he was an idiot and said, "If she's really after your money, then that's fine."

"But if she's after you, then you're in trouble."

"If she can't have you, she might do something extreme... she might just snap you while you're sleeping."

He grinned mischievously and made a scissor gesture towards Kogoro Mouri's crotch.

This terrified the latter, turning his face pale!

He realized that things were more serious than he had imagined!

This matter cannot be delayed!

It would be best if this could be resolved tonight!
So, Kogoro Mouri gulped down his entire glass of sake and slammed it on the table: "I'm calling right now!" He pulled out his phone and quickly dialed Yumi Horikoshi: "Yumi, I'm at the hotel bar. I want to talk to you in person about something."

Looking at Kogoro Mouri's cautious demeanor while making the phone call, Shiraishi E already had a premonition of what would happen in this negotiation.

If nothing unexpected happens, this guy will definitely be completely under his thumb.

As Shiraishi E drank her wine, she pondered whether she should help Kogoro Mouri deal with this unreasonable woman.

Of course, he didn't do this to clean up Kogoro Mouri's mess; he simply didn't want to upset Ran.

After Kogoro Mori finished his call, Emi Shiraishi downed her drink in one gulp and said, "Tell me the results... If you can't handle it, I'll help you!"

"We'll see," Kogoro Mouri said, smoking a cigarette, looking very distressed.

Shiraishi E said nothing more, paid, and left the bar.

Just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, Xiaolan suddenly called.

As soon as Shiraishi E answered the phone, she heard Ran say anxiously on the other end, "E, something terrible has happened! You need to come to the room right now!!"

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi E immediately realized what was going on.

Eri Kisaki drank spiked red wine, but Kogoro Mouri wasn't in the room... and that's how this happened.

After replying "okay," he immediately went to Eri's room.

After ringing the doorbell, Xiaolan quickly opened the door, her face full of impatience: "Hui, come with me."

She pulled Shiraishi E into the room.

Eri Kisaki had an unnatural blush on her face. She lay on the sofa and began to squirm, occasionally making some sounds that shouldn't be approved by the authorities.

Her well-fitting casual clothes were torn to shreds by herself, revealing glimpses of her cleavage.

"What...what should we do?" Xiaolan asked, at a loss.

“There are two options,” Shiraishi said calmly. “First, take Attorney Ki to the nearest hospital.”

"No...no, we can't go to the hospital." Eri Kisaki, struggling with herself, groaned as she rejected the suggestion.

If others saw her like this, would she ever be able to face anyone again?
Shiraishi said, "If that's the case, then we can only have Detective Mori come up... He's the only one who can help Attorney Kisaki right now."

"I'll call Dad right now!" Ran said, hurriedly taking out her phone to call Kogoro Mouri.

However, she was surprised to find that she couldn't get through on any of the calls!
Seeing that Eri was in so much pain, Shiraishi picked her up and carried her towards the bathroom.

After placing Eri in the bathtub, he explained to Ran, who had followed him in, while cooling the water, "Cold water can suppress bodily activity, slow down biological reactions, and achieve an inhibitory effect."

As he spoke, he ran out again, and when he returned, he was holding ice cubes and had placed them in the bathtub.

While stirring the water in the bathtub, Shiraishi E said, "I was just having drinks with Detective Mouri at the bar downstairs. Ran, come here—"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiaolan turned and ran towards the entrance.

Hearing the door slam shut, Shiraishi Eto was stunned.

He wanted Ran to take charge of cooling down Eri, while he went to find Kogoro Mouri.

I didn't expect Xiaolan to go by herself!

At that moment, Shiraishi E sensed something, turned his head and met Eri Kisaki's murderous gaze.

broken!

Isn't this a test for me?

Am I the kind of person who can withstand tests?
When faced with the choice between being human or not, Shiraishi E made her decision in just three seconds.

He took out his phone and quickly sent a text message to Kogoro Mouri saying "Ran is here," asking him to buy him some time.

Then, he personally went down to treat Eri's difficult illness.
