Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

Gu De thought to himself, but nodded outwardly.

[Gain 31 points of Conan's emotional value]

Gu De glanced at Conan; the little guy was quite agitated!

Not bad!

That's exactly how it should be!

Otherwise, why would I keep you around?

It's so much easier to just kill them all with one blow!

"By the way, Xiaolan, I was just outside the door, and I really wanted to hear where you were going."

"Ah, my dad and I want to go to the Medieval Museum!"

"Brother Gu De, you're here! Let's go together!"

Ran Mouri said excitedly, looking like a spoiled puppy.

Gu De is considering whether he should go to some stores next time and buy a tail.

"Okay, I'm free today anyway, let's go now!"

"Ok!"

Ran Mouri took Gu De's arm and got up, intending to leave together.

They completely ignored Kogoro Mouri and Conan.

Seeing that Ran Mouri was about to leave with her arm around Gu De, Kogoro Mouri and Conan both stood up.

"Wait, Xiaolan, Daddy's going too!"

Kogoro Mouri was thinking about whether he could get some more information about Yoko Okino from Gu De, and also keep an eye on his daughter!

Xiaolan is being too forward with this guy!

"I want to go too, Mori-neechan!"

Conan also stood up excitedly.

……

It seems we should talk less about cream puffs in the future; the last chapter was even blocked.

Chapter 19 Brother Gu De, what do you think?

"Honestly, you were the ones who said you couldn't do it!"

"Also, Conan, my dad only agrees to let you play at my house occasionally!"

"We have no reason to bring you out to play!"

"Can't you go play with your friends?"

Standing in front of the Medieval Museum of Art, Ran Mouri looked at Conan with displeasure.

This child is getting stranger and stranger.

They always like to follow their own lead.

This reminded Gu De that the Junior Detective League seemed to have made an appearance in the original storyline in the case of Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend's suicide.

Why wasn't it mentioned in Yoko Okino's case this time?

Could it be that my actions caused some changes in the plot?

"Alright, Xiaolan, let this kid come along too."

Kogoro Mouri said in a very serious tone.

Deep down, he could tell that Conan didn't seem to like Gu De.

That way, this little brat can also help me keep an eye on Gu De!

Besides that, Professor Agasa gave so much!

1000 million yen!

How many times would I have to catch them cheating to earn that back!

"Dad, you're thinking about the care allowance the doctor gave you, aren't you!"

Ran Mouri angrily exposed her father's lie.

The group entered the museum together.

"Haha, designer, show me the design drawings here!"

A dark-skinned, muscular middle-aged man came into view.

This guy must be President Manaka!

Not far from him, the curator, Ochiai, who looked like a Schnauzer, silently watched everything.

His long, snow-white beard and eyebrows obscured his expression.

"Brother Gu De, let's go over there, those paintings are so beautiful!"

"Dad, why don't you take Conan around and explore?"

Ran Mouri excitedly linked arms with Gu De and walked to the side.

The implication was that Conan and Kogoro should go to the other side and not bother him and Gu De!

[Gain 11 points of Conan's emotional value]

[Gain 7 units of Kogoro Mouri's emotional value from the story character]

Ran Mouri excitedly linked arms with Gu De, occasionally pointing to one of the paintings and sharing it with him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Gu De saw Kogoro Mouri and Conan sneaking around behind him.

Every now and then, I contribute some emotional value to myself.

At this rate, the upper limit of 100 points will be reached very soon!

I need to find more characters from other storylines!

"Huh? Why is this place sealed off?"

At the entrance to the Hell Mansion, Ran Mouri frowned slightly as she spoke.

Not far in front of her stood a sign that said "Closed".

Gu De knew that at that moment, Director Ochiai was inside killing President Manaka.

Gu De had no interest in stopping it.

As far as Director Ochiai is concerned, even if he doesn't kill President Manaka, and if the latter gives up on acquiring the museum, another president will come and acquire it.

On the contrary, it was his killing of President Manaka that drew more attention to the art museum, thus saving it.

From this perspective, killing President Manaka would be a win-win situation.

Moreover, this is in their own best interest!

Why bother looking for clues? Just kill them already!

"Brother Gu De, you must be tired. Would you like to have lunch together after the tour?"

"Actually, I really want to eat the cream puffs that Brother Gu De makes!"

Ran Mouri asked in a sweet voice.

After speaking, her face, which had originally held a touch of heroism, flushed red.

What's wrong with me... I should be worried about Shinichi who's gone missing!

Why are you so concerned about Brother Gu De?

Especially after hearing that he personally made cream puffs for Yoko Okino, I actually felt a little uncomfortable!

"You'll get to eat this sometime!"

Gu De glanced at his watch, looking somewhat absent-minded.

Has Director Ochiai already succeeded?

Are we going to see Yoko Okino tonight?

Or should we go check out the women's clothing store downstairs?

The proprietress from before had a really nice figure!

As a new neighbor, I definitely have to pay him a visit!

"That guy Gu De, Xiao Lan was chatting with him so enthusiastically, but he was still acting like he was ignoring her!"

Conan sat not far away, observing discreetly.

Kogoro Mouri thought so too, but another idea gradually emerged in his mind.

"Has Ran given up on that detective? If so... shouldn't we talk to Eri and ask her to persuade Ran to study hard!"

"I want to get into Tokyo University in the future! Or study in the US!"

Half an hour later.

Hell House.

"what!"

With Ran Mouri's scream as the signal, the case officially begins!

Conan and Kogoro Mouri immediately sealed off the scene.

Gu De, however, hugged Ran Mouri tightly as she fell into his arms, offering her care and concern.

As for solving the case and finding evidence?

Leave the miscellaneous tasks like understanding the plot and finding evidence to the people who do those tasks!
