Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

"Impossible...this must be a dream..."

"That brat Gu De... there's no way he could be living with Miss Yangzi..."

"It must be a dream..."

Kogoro Mouri's murmured voice came intermittently.

"Oh dear, Dad? What's wrong?"

Ran Mouri squatted down beside him and, after looking at Kogoro Mouri and confirming that he didn't have a physical problem, immediately asked the villagers to help him up.

"Mr. Mori is probably just too tired."

"Kinoshita, take some men and help Mr. Mori to the village office to rest for a while!"

Village chief Mikami Takeo gave a loud order.

Ran Mouri and Conan immediately followed.

Seeing this, Gu De also brought Okino Yoko to the village office.

"Brother Gu De, are you and Sister Yangzi?"

Although Conan was shocked by Gu De's situation, a new hope was rekindled in his heart.

It doesn't matter whether Goku is with Yoko Okino or with Sonoko Suzuki!

As long as it's not Xiaolan!

"Children shouldn't ask questions like that!"

"Besides, Conan, Ms. Yoko, and Brother Gu De are all celebrities, so don't talk nonsense!"

Ran Mouri grabbed Conan's ear and whispered a warning.

"I am..."

Conan wanted to argue, but was immediately stopped by Ran Mouri's reproachful gaze.

"but……"

Ran Mouri looked at Gu De and Yoko Okino, who were embracing intimately not far away, and a sense of loneliness gradually appeared on her face.

"But Brother Gu De and Miss Yang Zi are such a perfect match..."

Conan was overjoyed!

When Xiaolan said that, it was absolutely fantastic news!

"Yes, Brother Gu De and Miss Yang Zi are such a perfect match!"

"I've always felt that way too!"

Conan quickly echoed her sentiments, further encouraging Ran Mouri.

But Ran Mouri suddenly clenched her fist, her face serious: "So, I must work hard!"

"Strive to become an excellent person, only then can I stay by Brother Gu De's side!"

"Only in this way can I get Brother Gu De to notice me!"

After Ran Mouri finished speaking, she looked full of energy and quickened her pace to catch up.

Only Conan remained, standing there dumbfounded.

"Are you working so hard to stay by Goo De's side?"

"Are you working so hard to get Goo De's attention?"

"But I've already noticed you!"

"No wonder you've been busy whenever I call you as Shinichi Kudo lately. So that's what you've been working on!"

In an instant, Conan felt that everything around him was dark.

The newly ignited hope was once again ruthlessly shattered.

Gu De was like an insurmountable mountain, blocking all the light from above his head!

"Hey, little one, isn't that older brother handsome!"

"If you work hard, you might be able to catch up with him in the future!"

In Chapter 4.2, Lingling ran over happily, not forgetting to cheer Conan on.

But these words were like daggers, instantly piercing Conan's heart.

"Hmm~"

Conan felt a pang of discomfort and suddenly regretted answering the phone.

We should have stayed in Dongdu; we shouldn't have come!

……

"What am I doing... sigh..."

Kogoro Mouri blinked and gradually regained his senses.

Looking around at the people around him, he gritted his teeth and cleared his throat: "Sorry, I've been busy with a big case lately, so I'm a little tired."

"But I'm much better now, so please don't worry."

The villagers nodded as if they understood, but Kinoshita Goro looked worried and said, "Mr. Mori, Village Chief Mikami has gone to prepare the venue for the speech."

"If you're not feeling well, perhaps..."

As he spoke, he looked at Gu De, his meaning self-evident.

Kogoro Mouri tensed up instantly.

A speech would be a great opportunity for the villagers to know and remember you, but now that Gu De is here, and you've just embarrassed yourself in public, you're afraid...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kinoshita, please leave this to Uncle Mori!"

Gu De's voice came through.

The sound made Kogoro Mouri's eyes widen instantly.

This kid actually gave me the chance?

"Brother Gu De is so generous!"

Ran Mouri stood to the side, her face full of admiration.

Kogoro Mouri wanted to express his gratitude, but when he thought of Yoko Okino's ambiguous relationship with Gu De, he felt as if his mouth was blocked by something.

"No need to thank me, Uncle Mori. I don't really like giving speeches anyway."

Gu De said with a smile.

Let's forget about this speech; after all, the venue has been set up with a murder switch!

Let Kogoro Mouri take the lead in this matter!

Thinking of this, Gu De's expression became concerned again: "Don't worry, Xiao Lan will be with us during the speech, so you can go without worry!"

......

Chapter 82: How did Gu De and Okino Yoko end up in the woods?

"Go ahead without worry?"

Kogoro Mouri felt something was off.

But since Gu De gave me the opportunity to speak, I must do my best to let... at least let the villagers here know that I, Kogoro Mouri, am also a great detective!

Kogoro Mouri truly lives up to his reputation as someone who has been shot in the neck thousands of times.

After resting briefly at the village office, the group regained their strength and then went to visit the ghost ship.

Gu De and Okino Yoko had already visited the area yesterday, so the two of them just strolled around the neighborhood together for a few minutes. Gu De did, however, pay attention to a man named Uehara Yasuo.

This guy also came on the same ship as the Mori group.

Upon seeing the ghost ship, he went straight aboard and stubbornly refused any explanation from others. This guy practically had me written all over his face as a bad guy.

"Gu De, that guy named Uehara Yasuo is a bit strange."

Yoko Okino said in a low voice.

Gu De nodded with a smile. Yoko Okino really had a good eye for people. Yasuo Uehara was also a crew member of the Ryujinmaru, and he wasn't a good person either.

Yasuo Uehara walked around the boat once, followed by Kogoro Mouri and Conan.

Seeing this, Gu De walked aside and dialed Gin's number.

"Did you take everything?"

"It's all taken care of, Kumail, don't worry!"

Gin's voice sounded tired.

Could it be that he was exhausted from moving gold bricks all night?

"Okay, I'll finish up here!"

Gu De glanced at Kogoro Mouri and Conan, who were starting to get dressed.

The finishing touches are now up to the two of you!

“Kumel”.

Gin suddenly called out to Gu De from the other end.

"what's up?"

"Has there been any activity from that Akemi Miyano lately?"

Akemi Miyano?

Gin didn't ask, and Goo De himself had almost forgotten about it.
