Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 113 Something is wrong with you

Officers Sato and Shiratori were deeply impressed by what Tachibana Shizuka said.

Revenge in Beika Town is not just a treat or something that can be easily taken away. Revenge in Beika Town may result in loss of life.

Detective is a hated profession, not to mention that Kogoro Mouri was a detective at first.

God knows how many people in Beika Town Prison are gritting their teeth at Kogoro Mouri right now?
Even though the captured murderers would kneel down and cry at the last moment, that doesn’t mean they have repented. They just know that they will be punished.

So if we really want to investigate Kogoro Mouri's enemies in detail, there may not be fewer of them than the presidents of Beika Town.

“I think this series of events is more of an attack centered on Uncle Maori than revenge against him?
By the way, have you ever seen "The ABC Murders"?

Officer Shiratori nodded gracefully upon hearing this: "I have seen it, Tachibana-san, are you saying that the criminals this time only want to use Mr. Maori as a cover?
Inspector Megure, Lawyer Hime, and Dr. Agasa are not the targets he really wants to attack?"

"Yes, I guess that's the case. You see, when Inspector Megure goes for a morning run, it's a rare opportunity for the criminals.

If he really wanted to kill Inspector Megure, wouldn't it be better to aim the crossbow at the neck, a fatal spot?

Then there are the chocolates that Aunt Yingli received. The inspectors also said that the amount of pesticide contained in each chocolate was not enough to be fatal.

The same goes for Dr. Agasa. It's obvious that the criminal didn't intend to kill the three of them.

"I think if the criminals really wanted to attack someone, they would definitely not treat it as such a trivial matter.

I also think that the person the criminals really wanted to attack must not have such a close relationship with Uncle Maori."

"Very, very reasonable!" The detectives of the Metropolitan Police Department have always been good at accepting advice, especially the subordinates of Inspector Megure.

Tachibana Shizuka's reasoning gave Sato and Shiratori a lot of inspiration. They immediately entered the ward and found Mouri Kogoro.

As soon as Shiratori told Tachibana Shizuka's reasoning, Mouri Kogoro immediately agreed with it, and even Conan, who was passing by, agreed with this reasoning.

But when Shiratori asked Maori Kogoro if he could remember anyone he knew whose names contained the remaining numbers, Maori Kogoro looked obviously distressed.

According to the order of playing cards, the digit before "J" should be "10", but when he was suddenly asked to recall names with "", he really couldn't remember it for a while.

Sometimes it's like this, the more you want to recall something, the harder it is to remember due to various interferences.

This was the situation for Maori Kogoro right now. To avenge his wife and old friend, Maori Kogoro had no intention of returning home. He simply decided to slowly recall his past in the Metropolitan Police Department. If he suddenly remembered something, the Investigation Division 1 could take immediate action.

Since Kogoro Mouri chose to stay in the Investigation Division, Conan naturally would not give up the case at hand.

So the only people who returned to the office were Xiaolan and Shizuka Tachibana.

After sending Xiaolan to the office, Tachibana Shizuka did not choose to go home, but followed Xiaolan to the residential area on the third floor of the office.

This was something that Tachibana Shizuka had specifically requested from Maori Kogoro before he left the Investigation Division. The "Lan" in Maori Ran's name can also be removed from the Chinese character for "three." This also means that Xiaolan is at great risk of being attacked during this series of attacks.

Kogoro Mouri knew that Shizuka Tachibana was armed with a gun, and since there's no comparison, there's no harm. Before Kudo Shinichi's negative impression of Kogoro Mouri faded, Shizuka Tachibana was a good, unfailingly good guy who "couldn't get over a gun." Asking Shizuka Tachibana to protect Ran also allowed Kogoro Mouri to fully devote himself to investigating the case.

Of course, when Kogoro Mouri was telling these things to Shizuka Tachibana, Conan was thinking about the case in the office of the First Investigation Division and was completely unaware of everything.

In other words, "Detective Conan is still investigating the case."

In the Mouri Detective Agency, tonight until the murderer of the serial attacks is found, it will be Tachibana Shizuka and Ran's alone time.

The imagined awkward atmosphere did not exist at all. It was not the first day that Xiaolan knew Tachibana Shizuka. With an old friend like Tachibana Shizuka around, the atmosphere between the two of them was very natural.

It's no different from when I was in school.

Maori Kogoro was not at home, and Tachibana Shizuka, under the arrangement of Xiaolan, directly occupied Maori Kogoro's bedroom and bed. I don't know if this behavior can be regarded as his entry into the Maori family.

In the next three days, Kogoro Mouri was busy investigating the case with the police, and Conan chose to take leave without hesitation to follow Kogoro Mouri in investigating the case.

Speaking of the bow-tie voice changer invented by Dr. Agasa, Conan really put it to good use. Maori Kogoro is now Conan's guardian. As long as he calls the teacher in Maori Kogoro's voice, what kind of leave can't he ask for?

But Shizuka Tachibana and Ran still maintain a normal schedule, going to school when they should and resting when they should.

Three days later, Tachibana Shizuka and Ran arrived at the school gate again and met Sonoko and Takei Naoko who were getting off the bus.

After getting out of the car, Sonoko and Xiaolan waved to the driver, then ran quickly to Tachibana Shizuka and Ran.

Sonoko ran over to the two of them without saying a word. She just circled around them, looking them up and down, until both Tachibana Seiji and Xiaolan were frightened. Xiaolan then grabbed Sonoko:
"Sonoko, what are you doing?"

"Something's wrong, something's wrong with you two!"

"Ah? What's wrong with us?" Xiaolan thought there was something wrong with the school uniforms worn by her and Shizuka Tachibana. She first lowered her head to look at herself and then turned to look at Shizuka Tachibana.

But in the end, I didn't find anything wrong.

"I mean, what you're wearing isn't right! I mean, there's something wrong with the two of you." Sonoko had an expression that said, "There's only one truth." "Naoko, you've noticed that too, haven't you?"

Naoko Takei looked at Tachibana Shizuka and then at Sonoko, then blinked innocently. One was her new best friend, and the other was her and Hanai-san's savior.
Even if she noticed something was wrong, it would be difficult for her to tell him directly!

"Forget it! Naoko, it's hard for you to say, so let me do it! I think you two are secretly together behind our backs, right?" Sonoko asked Xiaolan and Shizuka Tachibana with a suspicious look on her face.

She would never have thought of saying this in the past. With someone like Kudo Shinichi around, Xiaolan would never get close to other boys.

But now with the variable of Tachibana Shizuka, it's hard to say. One's best friend knows her own best friend, and Sonoko knows that Tachibana Shizuka definitely has a certain place in Xiaolan's heart.

At this moment, the garden is like a badger in a melon field, jumping up and down because it can't eat the melons.
