I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 579 Kogoro Mouri: I need to solve the case, women are just a nuisance!
"Whoa, what's with the time?"

"Oh no, oh no, oh no! I was searching through things too late yesterday. Could Uncle Mori have already gone out to investigate on his own?"

Conan suddenly sat up on the tatami mat.

He recalled what happened last night.

After bombarding Ai Haibara with information and finally ending with her blocking him, he suddenly remembered what happened with Chen En that afternoon.

This guy definitely planted a bug in the Mori Detective Agency, even though he had repeatedly told Chen En not to plant a bug there!
Conan got angry and snapped.

The main problem was that Chen En wasn't home, so he couldn't find Chen En to activate his Spinosaurus form and breathe on him.

So he turned to his skills in finding listening devices, which he had learned in Hawaii, and thoroughly searched the Maori Detective Agency.

He found two more listening devices.

Chen En's evil eavesdropping plan has been completely thwarted!

Then, Conan, having spent the whole night searching for listening devices, couldn't resist and fell asleep right away. When he woke up, it was already this late.

He quickly went out to wash up and eat something, and then rushed straight to the second floor of the Mouri Detective Agency.

At this very moment, a terrifying thing is happening on the second floor of the Mouri Detective Agency.

Ran Mouri stood beside the sofa, looking at Eri Kisaki with some surprise.

As Kogoro Mouri's wife in every sense of the word, Eri Kisaki rushed back from out of town after receiving a message explaining the situation yesterday, specifically to see Kogoro Mouri.

Does this mean my parents are really going to get back together?
If that's really the case, then Dad might as well quit being a detective. After all, Dad doesn't necessarily have to be a detective.

Conan pushed open the door and entered.

He immediately spotted Eri Kisaki standing next to Kogoro Mouri, looking at him deep in thought, and asked her with concern.

"Husband, are you okay?"

“I heard you’re in a crisis right now, and you’re even facing the removal of your detective credentials. This crisis seems to be quite serious.”

"Even as a renowned lawyer, I can't help you suppress the public opinion..."

Eri sighed as she finished speaking.

She comforted Kogoro Mouri, saying...

"It's okay, you must be tired too?"

"You've worked very hard over the past ten years; you could have done better even if you didn't become a detective now."

"From now on, why don't you move in with me? That's what Xiaolan thinks too, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's expression shifted slightly, and this scene immediately excited Ran Mouri standing beside him.

Could it be that the gentle side of Mom, which we haven't seen in a long time, has really won Dad's heart?

Is Dad finally going to reconcile with Mom, and will the three of them live together harmoniously?
Conan, who was standing next to him, stroked his chin.

He felt that something was very wrong with the situation.

As the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, one of the few top detectives in the country, he also had a certain understanding of people's demeanor and micro-expressions.

Conan immediately noticed that Kogoro Mouri's expression didn't seem to be one of gratitude, and then casually glanced at the file folder on the sofa.

He hesitated for a moment, about to tell Ran Mouri about it, but Ran Mouri covered his mouth, leaned down, and whispered.

"Conan, don't talk now."

"This is a crucial time for Daddy and Mommy to get back together. If you want to play any games, I'll play with you later, okay?"

Conan:?
Have I ever asked you to play any games before?

Conan twitched his lips.

He knew that what was about to happen was probably not going to be a good look.

So he turned his head to look elsewhere, then narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

Hey, let me check, isn't this bulge a little off?

Did this thing have this protrusion before? Conan approached the spot, gently pried it open with his hand, and the next moment, a bugging device fell out and landed in his palm.

He glanced down at the bugging device in his hand.

Then he looked up again at the protruding wall, and then looked down at the bugging device.

Conan:?
I checked, and this is the fifth bugging device Chen En has installed in his home.

Just how many listening devices did that inherently evil old bat ghost install in my house?

Isn't this guy going a bit too far?

Just as Conan's attention shifted to the bugging device, Kogoro Mouri shouted rudely the next instant.

"I still can't give up my detective job, and I'm not so tired that I can't do it at all!"

"I need to solve the case; women are just a hindrance!"

"We'll talk about everything when I get back. Conan, let's go. Now we're just one piece of the puzzle to solve the case!"

Kogoro Mouri suddenly stood up.

He walked past Eri Kisaki, put on his coat, and Kogoro Mouri immediately pushed open the door and came out.

Upon seeing this, Ran Mouri's face showed a look of shock. She covered her face with her hands and let out a silent scream.

It's over now.

All the goodwill I've worked so hard to build up with my mom is about to be wasted!

Ran Mouri looked at Eri Kisaki with trembling eyes, while Eri Kisaki's face had also darkened, and the lenses of her glasses were gleaming coldly.

—How should I put it? It has a strong animation special effects feel to it!

Because of the constant reflections, it was impossible to see what Eri's expression or eyes were behind the lenses, which was inexplicably frightening.

Seeing this, Conan shuddered.

From the moment he met Eri Kisaki again at the coffee shop after a long time, he felt that Eri Kisaki looked particularly fierce.

But Eri Kisaki's current behavior is ten times fiercer than he remembered!
We shouldn't stay here any longer. It's best to go with Uncle Mori!
Conan quickly pushed open the door and went out.

Before leaving, he glanced at the window of the apartment, where Chen En had already disappeared.

"Mom, Mom, that...that..."

Ran Mouri swallowed.

She carefully sat down next to Eri, who expressionlessly opened the animal cracker box on the table.

The famous lawyer tossed the animal cracker into his mouth and chewed it for a while.

Seeing this, Ran Mouri felt that her mother seemed even scarier than before.

After eating several handfuls of cookies, Eri Kisaki frowned and then said.

"Are these cookies from Takeoka Isao's family?"

"Was Takeoka Isao here just now? Did he say this was a gift for me?"

Hearing this, Ran Mouri blinked, then nodded and said.

"Yes, yes."

"Mom, how did you know that Takeoka Isao was here just now? Is the taste of this animal cracker special?"

Eri Kisaki did not respond to this.

She vaguely understood why Kogoro Mouri had seemed so irritable just now.

However, knowing this was one thing, she didn't intend to forgive Kogoro Mouri's rude behavior so easily. She would wait until Kogoro Mouri returned and apologized to her.

Only the sound of chewing cookies could be heard on the second floor of the Mori Detective Agency.
