Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

"Why does it feel like Gooder is in control of everything?"

"I don't think I've been of any use!"

Conan was a little annoyed.

Moreover, he has now discovered a chilling detail: it seems that Gu De was fully aware of everything, and showed no surprise or tension whatsoever compared to the others!

No, I have to regain the limelight... no, I have to demonstrate more value!

"I'm small, so I'll go first!"

Conan volunteered.

Without waiting for the others to agree, he took a flashlight and crawled into the cave.

"Conan..."

Ran called out, but seeing that Conan had already gone inside, she could only look at Gu De with some difficulty.

"I'm sorry, Brother Gu De... After all, Conan is the responsibility of my dad and me..."

Gu De smiled and shook his head.

Conan's actions are exactly what he wanted!

Kinoshita Goro was still observing from outside the cave. In the original story, the pistol was placed inside the cave to fake Uehara Yasuo's suicide, but he still thought it best to be careful.

And if Gu De remembers correctly, there is a very difficult path leading to this cave.

Someone needs to test the waters!

Conan, after all, is the main character; he won't die if he leads the way in!

"Go ahead, Mr. Mori, you and Conan go together."

"There are stairs inside, which are clearly not naturally formed."

"Xiao Lan, you and Yang Zi walk in the middle, I'll watch the back."

Gu De checked his belongings.

"Okay, I'm going in then."

"Young psychologist, watch out what's behind you!"

Kogoro Mouri proved useful at this crucial moment, and immediately followed him inside.

He hadn't gone in two steps when his voice rang out: "Hey psychologist kid, there really are steps here!"

Wow, Brother Gu De knows all this, that's amazing!

Ran Mouri was quite excited. She and Yoko Okino walked inside hand in hand, talking as they went.

Before going in, Yoko Okino turned back to look at Gu De: "Gu De, if there's any danger ahead, I'll definitely let you know!"

"You must also watch out for what's behind you!"

Gu De smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go in from behind you."

The two women walked into the darkness.

"Da da~"

"Da da~"

The footsteps of the group were not loud, but they were quite clear in the empty cave.

Gu De glanced behind him one last time and followed him inside.

"Splash splash~"

The sound of waves gradually came from ahead.

The surrounding air was noticeably humid, creating a damp and dark cave.

Conan walked quickly ahead.

Such a hidden cave could indeed harbor someone!

You must be the one who takes the initiative to seize the opportunity!

Soon a light appeared ahead.

"There's hope!"

Conan was overjoyed; this time, he was finally going to be ahead!

"There's light ahead!"

"There's light!"

Conan said a few words in a low voice and then sped up.

"Kid, you..."

Kogoro Mouri was about to say something.

"boom!"

A short section of the cave ahead collapsed.

Kogoro Mouri suddenly felt dizzy.

A cloud of dust suddenly rose up around him, and the fishy smell of the sea and the pungent dust made Kogoro Mouri's lungs feel as if he had accidentally inhaled a cigar.

"Cough cough cough~"

"Cough cough~"

Kogoro Mori lay in the dust and stones, coughing incessantly.

After a while, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

There seems to be something moving beneath me!

"What's going on?!"

Kogoro Mouri jumped up in surprise, only to find himself in a huge cave that opened up to the sea.

"Uncle...you stepped on me..."

Conan's voice came intermittently from below.

Kogoro Mouri immediately crouched down and, after a couple of groping movements, pulled Conan out of the rocks and dirt.

Conan's head was covered in bruises, whether from being hit by a rock or being pressed down by Kogoro Mouri.

"Kid?"

Kogoro Mouri was getting anxious and lifted Conan up with both hands, shaking him violently a few times.

"Cough cough~"

"Uncle, I'm fine, please put me down first."

After coughing a few times, Conan spoke haltingly.

"Dad, are you alright?"

Ran Mouri's voice came from not far away.

Immediately afterwards, Yoko Okino and Ran Mouri came out.

After Gu Dedian finished speaking and confirmed that it was safe, he also came over.

"Look, this place actually connects to the sea!"

Yoko Okino was pleasantly surprised.

Gu De nodded, and after scanning the cave, he immediately discovered that Uehara Yasuo was already dead.

His body was leaning against a stone wall not far away.

"Over here!"

Gu De walked over quickly.

Uehara Yasuo is indeed dead; the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head, which was staged as a suicide.

The pistol was on his right.

Now Gu De was completely relieved. Even though he had a bunch of life-saving items, he didn't want outsiders to see them!

"Group 852, 104278 is Uehara Yasuo!"

"He must have committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"

After bending down to examine the body, Kogoro Mouri immediately drew a conclusion.

Conan, covered in dust and dirt, followed, but before he could touch the body, Gu De suddenly shook his head: "Mr. Mori, I'm afraid he didn't commit suicide!"

"what?"

Kogoro Mouri looked up at Gu De, his tightly furrowed brows filled with disbelief.

You just showed off in front of Yoko Okino, and you immediately slapped me in the face? That's too much!

"Uncle, that's true."

After squatting down and examining her for a while, Conan slowly spoke.

[Gain Conan's Emotional Value*]

After saying this, Conan gave Gu De a complicated look.

Gu Deqiang's is too outrageous!

I came to this conclusion after carefully examining the bullet holes in my head.

He just stood there and figured that out?

Sure enough, Gooder possesses exceptional observational skills!

"Who killed him?"
