Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 35 The Demonic Man
Uncle, Uncle Maori, Maori Kogoro! Stand up!
Conan screamed wildly in his heart.

When he was still Kudo Shinichi, he never got a good look from Mori Kogoro.

And what about Tachibana Shizuka? He's even out training with Ran, and you, Uncle Mori, haven't you even said anything?!
Conan felt very unbalanced. They were all high school students, so why were they targeting him alone?
This matter is easy to understand from the perspective of Kogoro Mouri. On the one hand, the reason why he doesn't treat Kudo Shinichi well is that this wild boar has always wanted to take away his own juicy cabbage since he was a child.

On the other hand, look at what Kudo Shinichi did after he became a high school detective?
Or he would take Xiaolan around to see fresh, bloody corpses.

Or he would just focus on solving the case and enjoy himself, and then leave the other person's daughter aside.

Because of all the bad things Kudo Shinichi did, it was a good temper of Mouri Kogoro that he didn't break Kudo's legs.

On the other hand, Tachibana Shizuka, apart from anything else, is Xiaolan's "savior", and this alone is enough to increase Mouri Kogoro's favorability to the maximum.

What's more, Kogoro Mouri is also an old policeman. Although Shizuka Tachibana and the others are a group of two men and two women, Kogoro Mouri can tell at a glance that this group is for boys to play with boys and girls to play with girls.

With the bastard Shinichi Kudo as a background, Kogoro Mouri thinks Shizuji Tachibana is a handsome and good-looking guy.

All in all, the arrival of Tachibana Shizuka and his group made the inn more lively. Everyone was happy except Conan who was sulking and jealous.

When you come to a hot spring hotel, you naturally have to take a hot spring bath. So at the suggestion of Tachibana Shizuka, Hattori Heiji successfully joined the group of Maori Kogoro's college classmates.

And Tachibana Shizuka alone held back Mouri Kogoro.

It is not difficult to hold Kogoro Mouri back. Just praise this uncle a little at the beginning and he will find the subsequent topics himself.

In short, in the men's bath of the hotel, Tachibana Shizuka and Mouri Kogoro had a very pleasant conversation, and Hattori Heiji also smiled and led others to talk about Mouri Kogoro's glorious deeds during his college years.

Conan looked at Tachibana Seiji who was expressing his admiration for the famous detective Mouri Kogoro not far away and cast a disdainful look at the little yellow duck in his hand that sank and floated, showing his childishness.

What does it mean to not recognize a great man when one has eyes? In Conan's opinion, Tachibana Shizuka is just not recognizing a great man when one has eyes.

Apart from other things, Tachibana Shizuka's vision is bad enough. Where did the Sleeping Kogoro's reputation come from? Wasn't it Conan who diligently used a tranquilizer gun to tranquilize Maori Kogoro, and then played him as a power player?

In a trance, Conan seemed to have regained some confidence and his mentality became calmer.

After enjoying the hot springs and having dinner, everyone decided to play table tennis. At this time, Tachibana Shizuka and Hattori Heiji came together.

"How is it, Hattori. Did you get any information?" Because the investigation of Kogoro Mouri needed to be kept secret from Conan, Ran and Sonoko were covering in the table tennis room, and only Tachibana Shizuka and Hattori Heiji came out to exchange information.

"Of course there is. You know what, that Maori uncle is really quite impressive." Hattori Heiji exclaimed:

"According to those 'uncles', Uncle Maori is the most skilled among them in judo, and his strength is beyond compare.

During his university years, Uncle Maori also took on a part-time job as a tutor. It is said that all of his students were successfully admitted to their dream universities.

The gap in judo skills is needless to say, and Hattori Heiji is well aware of this, as his school's kendo club is also at the leading level in terms of skills.

Besides, being able to help high school students successfully enter higher education shows that Kogoro Mouri’s academic performance is not bad either.

Although strong fighting ability and good academic performance are not necessarily related to strong reasoning ability, in Conan's world view, elites in certain industries can basically do some reasoning.

It's a local trait. Could a detective with this kind of background be a muddleheaded detective? Hattori Heiji didn't quite believe it, not to mention that Maori Kogoro was a former detective.

After all, I have so many years of work experience, how could I be doing so badly?

"I always feel like I'm still missing some conclusive evidence." Tachibana Shizuka stroked his chin and thought quietly.

He knew why Kogoro Mori resigned from the Metropolitan Police Department, or at least he knew part of the reason.

This part is also the plot of the movie M2, but as the investigation deepens, Tachibana Shizuka always feels that the reason why this uncle resigned seems not so simple.

Being a police officer is risky, but is being a detective risk-free? Even if the uncle is afraid of the rope after being bitten once, it doesn't make sense that he wouldn't be able to react to the sudden rise of a famous detective, right?
What does it mean to be extremely horrified when you think about it? This is what it means to be extremely horrified when you think about it.

When Tachibana Shizuka was thinking about this, he suddenly heard laughter coming from the table tennis room.

"Hey, Tachibana, look over there." Hattori Heiji suddenly patted Tachibana Shizuka's shoulder and motioned him to look upstairs.

When Tachibana Shizuka looked up, he saw a woman standing in the window on the second floor opposite the table tennis room, staring at the table tennis room with a terrifying expression.

“I remember that person’s name was”

"Horikoshi Yumi, the former manager of the judo club at Beika University, now works for a cosmetics company. She said she's about to be fired."

Tachibana Shizuka gave Hattori Heiji some additional information about the woman in the window, and then thought about this case.

It is obvious that Horikoshi Yumi is the victim of this incident. As for the murderer's motive for killing,
This woman hooked up with a man for 18 years but refused his repeated proposals. Forced to do so, the unlucky Nakamichi Kazushi decided to get engaged to his boss's daughter.

It would have been fine if they hadn't gotten engaged, but once they got engaged, Horikoshi Yumi became active again, making threatening phone calls, sending threatening letters, and writing in blood to Nakamichi Kazushi's fiancée all day long. Her main intention was to cause chaos in other people's families.

Nakamichi and Zhi had no choice but to confront her, and then Horikoshi Yumi made the classic speech of a victim of rice flower - "I can't forgive you, I will not let you be happy alone"

Emmm, it's hard to stretch.

When Tachibana Shizuka first saw this plot as a child, he didn't quite understand it, but later, as he grew older and gained more experience, he finally understood what this girl was.

Although Tachibana Shizuka remembered the details of the incident, he had no intention of stopping it.

Being able to force a police officer to kill someone with her own hands, Yumi Horikoshi is a talent. For such a madman, only death can bring peace to her.

As for Nakamichi and Zhi's decision to kill, wasn't it his own choice? Since he wasn't willing to confess to his fiancée and his boss, he should be willing to bear the consequences.

What's more, Tachibana Shizuka was planning to use this incident to verify something.

"Come on, let's go back. This is what adult class reunions are like, always so colorful and all-encompassing."

Tachibana Shizuka pulled the curious Hattori Heiji back, saying something that Hattori Heiji couldn't understand. Hattori Heiji was carefree and didn't have Conan's inquisitive spirit.

After returning to the table tennis room, Tachibana Shizuka approached Sonoko and said, "Sonoko, I have a favor to ask of you."
