Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

"It's nothing, I just visited a friend."

Mori Atsushi said with a smile.

But no matter what expression he made, his face always gave off a terrifying and unsettling feeling.

“My friend Akira Nakai lives nearby; he’s also a journalist.”

"I just heard from this guy that he seems to have unearthed some big news, but it still needs to be verified!" (55仦裞羶)

When the news was mentioned, Atsushi Mori became somewhat excited.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Goo, he also gave me a few tickets to the photography competition awards ceremony."

"Nakai said he has more votes and asked me to give them to interested friends."

Would you like to go?

Mori quickly took out a stack of exquisite tickets from his pocket and respectfully showed them to Gu De.

A photography contest?

Gu De felt that the face looked somewhat familiar.

It seems this scene will appear in some part of the story!

He thought for a moment and took a few tickets: "Thank you, I'll probably go then."

That's great!

Mori Atsushi was in high spirits. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he took his leave.

"That's terrifying."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya quietly breathed a sigh of relief before speaking.

"Yes, it's just like the incredible incident at Teitan Elementary School!"

Ayumi Yoshida was also there, patting her chest.

"An unbelievable event?"

Only Conan perked up immediately upon hearing about the incident.

But then he remembered that Gu De was there, and he secretly glanced at Gu De again.

You wouldn't compete with me for this kind of campus incident, would you?

"What incident are you talking about?"

A glint flashed in Ai Haibara's eyes, and she asked, feigning interest.

"It's just a running mannequin!"

“Last week, a girl entered the art classroom and found that all the plaster statues were staring at her; four days ago, someone discovered that the anatomical models in the infirmary were running in the corridor.”

"Oh, right, and also, when I went to feed the goldfish the other day, I noticed a strange person wearing a mask was also feeding the goldfish!"

The three little ones started chattering away.

This reminded Gu De that there seemed to be this plot in the original series!

But aren't the weirdos Ms. Kobayashi Touko and the academic affairs director?

Conan found the conversation rather dull.

It seems like every school has these kinds of strange tales!

I thought it was something interesting!

Hearing this, I'd rather go home and call my dad, and ask him to come to Japan and talk to my mom...

"Brother Gu De, do you... do you want to go on an adventure with us at school?"

Ayumi Yoshida sent out a team invitation.

But Conan wasn't invited!

"Yes, Brother Gu De, my sister can participate too. She's always said she wants to solve cases with you!"

"Hehehe, can we have a midnight snack after solving the case?!"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima quickly followed suit.

The three men's enthusiastic invitation to Gu De instantly spurred Conan on.

What's going on?!

I'm still here!

Why are you inviting Goo De so proactively?

Just then.

"Mr. Gu De, please help us!"

"I'm very interested too!"

Ai Haibara also voluntarily joined in.

Gu De looked at Ai Haibara's serious little face, smiled and ruffled her hair: "Alright, since the Junior Detective League has extended an invitation, I'll definitely help!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of Teitan Elementary School.

"Ms. Kobayashi, you don't want the children to be scared, do you?"

Thank you all for your support!

Chapter 140 Amuro Tooru, you're under arrest!

Conan eventually chose to join the Detective Boys' operations.

After setting the time for the operation, Conan returned to Professor Agasa's house.

Dr. Agasa was still there, tinkering with some unknown invention.

Seeing Conan return, he simply pointed in the direction of the restaurant: "Shinichi, dinner's ready for you!"

"I might be quite busy today, I'll be doing an experiment in the basement later!"

Conducting experiments in the basement?

Upon hearing this, Conan shook his head.

Most of Dr. Agasa's inventions are useless.

Sometimes, the thing he studies for days on a whim might just be a simple task accomplished with a complex structure.

Conan responded and went to his room to pick up the phone.

It was still afternoon in Japan, but it was already late at night in the United States.

Two hours until dawn.

"du~du~du~"

The phone rang a few times before I heard Yusaku Kudo's sleepy voice.

"Shinichi? What's up?"

Dad, are you still sleepy at this hour?

Something's wrong with Mom!

Conan thought to himself, feeling frustrated.

But you can't say it out loud.

"Dad, do you have any plans to go back to Japan anytime soon?"

"No, not at the moment. Why?"

Kudo Yusaku's voice, tinged with weariness.

However, it seems that he has changed from answering the phone while lying down to sitting up.

Conan sat in a chair with his legs on the desk in front of him.

He put it down for a moment, then sensed something was wrong and quickly put it back.

This gesture is clearly the kind of gesture that Kogoro Mouri would make when listening to horse racing broadcasts or Yoko Okino's shows!

I must never end up like Kogoro Mouri!

"It's nothing, I was just asking out of curiosity."

"Mom has been having a lot of fun lately, and Attorney Eri Kisaki has moved into our house too!"

Conan hesitated.

He only suspected that something was wrong with his mother, so it was indeed a bit strange to make such a big fuss by calling his father.

"Attorney Fei?"

Kudo Yusaku's voice sounded somewhat surprised.

"Yes, Aunt Eri Kisaki moved in last week."

Conan told the truth, glancing out the window as he spoke.

That's my own house over there.

"Your mother and Attorney Fei used to have a good relationship."

"But what about you? How have things been going with Xiaolan lately?"

Kudo Yusaku's voice finally came back to normal.

"Xiao Lan... Xiao Lan really likes that Mr. Gu De!"

"And I've noticed... that people I know seem to have a very high opinion of Mr. Gu De..."

Conan said dejectedly.

Even Ms. Kobayashi today looks at Mr. Gu De with new respect!

He's usually very strict in class!

But when Ms. Kobayashi saw Gude today, she also smiled...
