Thinking about it this way, Conan's situation is quite reasonable, only that certain aspects have been amplified, making it even more outrageous.

Now that the doubts had been resolved, the Soul King began to seriously study the special energy. Meanwhile, Conan Edogawa, feeling uncomfortable under the watchful eyes full of curiosity, hid behind Ran Mouri and peeked out to observe someone.

Ulquiorra and the others remained expressionless, not participating in the conversation, standing motionless like bodyguards...

'Very strong...' Although she doesn't have special skills like martial arts intuition, Ran Mouri's combat strength is quite high, and her intuition, honed through combat training, is quite accurate. She can vaguely sense that Ulquiorra and the others are very strong.

Meanwhile, Fang Rui and Kogoro Mouri had already begun discussing the details of the commission.

"Excuse me, what is the content of the commission?" When working, Kogoro Mouri is quite reliable, especially when Ran Mouri is watching over him.

"It's very simple. My friend is very interested in the daily life of a detective and wants to observe the work of a famous detective."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri and the others looked at Ulquiorra and the others. One of them had a blank expression, and it was impossible to tell anything from his facial expression. His expression had not changed since he entered the agency. Although the other two had slightly different expressions, they also did not show any interest.

As for the other person, he kept staring at Conan the whole time, and it's unclear what he was thinking.

From any perspective, it has absolutely nothing to do with the daily work of a curious detective.

But there's no reason to turn away a job that's offered to you, especially if the other party doesn't show any ill intent.

"I'll accept your request, but I can't decide when the work will be available."

Fang Rui expressed his understanding, saying that with Conan's help, he believed that work would come his way soon.

"Jingle Bell……"

The phone rang, drawing everyone's attention. Kogoro Mouri picked up the phone and answered it...

Hello, who is this?

Because there were guests present, Kogoro Mouri spoke in a friendly tone.

"Uncle, it's me!"

A familiar voice came from the phone, and all three people present thought of the same person at the same time.

"It's you, kid! What do you want to call?" Kogoro Mouri narrowed his eyes, his attitude immediately softening, shifting from a formulaic way of greeting guests to the way he would treat someone he knew well.

"I'd like to invite you to visit Osaka! I happen to be free recently and can be your tour guide, and you... you must be quite free these days."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's temples bulged with veins. Although what the other person said was true, why was he so angry?

"Why would I go to Osaka for fun?" He wanted to yell, "What do you mean by that?" But remembering there were guests present, Kogoro Mori forced himself to change his words, though anger had already made his cheeks burn red.

"Don't say that! Uncle, you work so hard all the time, you should always take a break!"

Heiji Hattori tried his best to persuade Kogoro Mouri, but Kogoro remained unmoved. Conan Edogawa, on the other hand, was eager to help. In his opinion, Hattori must be in trouble and needed his help to call.

So, driven by his emotions, he ignored the Spirit King who was observing him and ran to Kogoro Mouri's side to persuade him together with Heiji Hattori.

Fang Rui did not make a sound to disturb them, but watched quietly.

The Dragon King was pondering whether energy affected personality, while the other broken-faced figures were idly daydreaming.

After their efforts, Kogoro Mouri was finally persuaded. Now, the remaining problem is...

"We're planning a trip to Osaka, what about you guys...?"

"Let's go together! I'm also a bit interested in Osaka."

Fang Rui made up an excuse on the spot, then placed the commission fee on the coffee table: "Please take care of me for the next period of time."

After saying that, Fang Rui and the others left the Maoli Agency, intending to buy a house nearby.

Meanwhile, the Mori family looked at the commission fee on the coffee table and fell silent.

What happened today seems a bit strange.

The person who spoke of being curious about the detective's daily work showed no sign of curiosity, as if deliberately trying to find a topic to approach the conversation.

Should we investigate this?

Conan looked serious. He had many connections, but very few who could help him investigate strangers.

Let's observe for a while first! But be prepared.

With that in mind, he called Hattori Heiji and asked him to put some effort into the selection of accompanying personnel, suggesting that they not be ordinary people, but rather some government officials.

After hearing the analysis from Conan, Heiji Hattori said OK, he would be prepared.

His interpersonal relationships in Osaka are even more outrageous than Shinichi Kudo's, allowing him to more easily leverage the power of the Metropolitan Police Department.

After leaving the detective agency, the group found pawn shops and other special stores to exchange gold for currency. Since they needed to exchange a lot of currency, they did it in several separate transactions at different stores.

The influx of some gold into the market will have little impact on the overall environment, given the small quantity. As for whether it will attract attention from some people, the answer is yes.

Pawnshops, gold shops, and similar establishments may have other forces supporting them. For example, pawnshops may be backed by local gangs, since gangs' "loot" needs to be "cleaned" so that it can appear legitimately.

Therefore, the news that someone possessed a considerable amount of gold quickly became known to many forces.

Currently, these people are investigating Fang Rui and others.

Fang Rui and the others had no idea about this. They were buying a house next to the Mouri Detective Agency, which was just an ordinary sushi restaurant.

From a business perspective, the shop is doing quite well, it doesn't lose money, and it's profitable, so acquiring it would be quite difficult.

However, under Fang Rui's financial offensive, the sushi restaurant owner didn't hold out for long, and the property transfer proceeded steadily...

Meanwhile, the Mori family was preparing their travel gear. After all, it was a multi-day trip, so they needed to prepare a change of clothes.

At the same time, Conan invited Professor Agasa to accompany him, since there were strangers along, and those people were on his list of suspects.

Although Professor Agasa was traveling with him, he drove to Osaka Castle to meet him there.

His car was equipped with some ordinary yet extraordinary gear, which was probably Conan's source of confidence.

On the day of departure, the house transfer was not yet completed, and Fang Rui handed over the follow-up work to the lawyer he had hired.

As for them, they went to Osaka with the Mori family.

On the train, Fang Rui and the others were very quiet, except for the Spirit King, who was thinking about what would happen if trains were popularized in Rukongai.

It's common knowledge in Seireitei and Rukongai that the further away from Seireitei a Rukongai area is, the more chaotic its order becomes, and one of the main reasons is simply because it's so far away...

Even if the villains cause a huge disturbance, no one from the Gotei 13 will bother them. Even if Hollows appear, Shinigami are rarely dispatched to kill them.

Trains can enhance order because they make connections between areas closer and make it easier for ordinary people to seek help.

As for Hueco Mundo, it doesn't need trains; the rule in Hueco Mundo is survival of the fittest.

As King Ling was lost in his thoughts, the train arrived at its destination.

Professor Agasa arrived first, his car parked outside the station, waiting for everyone.

Heiji Hattori and his group also arrived at the station. Since the number of people in the group had been announced in advance, Heiji Hattori specially arranged two cars.

Seeing two police cars parked on the side of the road, passersby cast surprised glances, wondering if something had happened. But they didn't see any police officers at the station!

"You little brat..." Kogoro Mouri's expression turned ugly when he saw the car. Who uses a police car to pick someone up?

"This is a brand new car." Heiji Hattori, who had often ridden in police cars since he was a child, didn't see anything wrong with it.

Conan Edogawa, who also frequently rides in police cars, said there was something wrong with it. Although he often rides in police cars home, he never intended to use them as his private vehicles.

Regardless, Hattori Heiji's behavior was somewhat problematic.

"Is that strange?" King Ling asked, somewhat puzzled.

Fang Rui did not comment, and the Broken Faces didn't seem to care much about the matter.

"That's strange!" the Mori family exclaimed in unison.

"Riding in a police car makes me feel like a prisoner," Ran Mouri complained.

"Don't say that! You guys ride this all the time." Hattori Heiji spoke the truth, which startled the passersby and made them move away from the area.

The Mori family's expressions instantly worsened, and they really wanted to sew someone's mouth shut.

“Then you can ride in Professor Agasa’s car. Where is it?” Fang Rui pointed to another car, a yellow Beetle with an antique car design that was very eye-catching.

"Okay!" Ran Mouri nodded and was about to take a step.

Seeing this, Hattori Heiji quickly reached out and pulled Conan over.

“He can come with me! I have something I want to tell him privately,” Hattori Heiji said.

Ran Mouri had no objection to this, and Kogoro Mouri had even less objection.

Conan Edogawa had some opinions, but unfortunately Heiji Hattori didn't give him a chance to say them.

The group entered the car one after another. Fang Rui, Ling Wang, Hattori Heiji, and Conan were in one car. The driver was an acquaintance of Hattori Heiji, and based on the conversation, he was an official.

"Where do we go now?" Fang Rui asked.

"Of course, it's Osaka Castle, a famous tourist attraction." Hattori Heiji said that it was still quite early, so they would stroll around for a while before finding something to eat...

"Tourist attractions..." Fang Rui and Ling Wang expressed no interest. For two people who could build castles by hand, famous tourist attractions were indeed not very appealing.

With the three of them present, it wasn't convenient for Heiji Hattori and Conan to whisper to each other.

With Heiji Hattori's explanation, the three of them gained some understanding of Osaka's streets and visited many attractions.

With the preliminary preparations complete, it's time to move on to the main course...

Seeing the unusual energy fluctuations, Fang Rui and the Spirit King already had a guess...

only……

"How about that? Now this is what real ramen looks like!"

The two of them really didn't expect that the "main course" would actually be a main course!

I'm speechless!

Looking at the noodles in the simple bowl, Fang Rui seemed to want to say something, but he didn't.

"It tastes so bland!" the Spirit King complained.

"Mmm!" The three broken noodles nodded vigorously, the noodles were so different from the ramen they had eaten before.

Rather than bland and tasteless ramen, the group preferred ramen with a richer flavor.

Kogoro Mouri, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement. He also didn't like overly bland food, especially since this ramen was practically tasteless.

Ran seems to like it quite a bit, while Conan neither shows any liking nor dislike.

"What are you talking about! This kind of ramen is delicious..." Hattori Heiji had a different opinion.
