Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Conan even saw Genta and the others whispering among themselves in the preparation area of ​​the competition arena.

After conducting a surprise interrogation, the detectives who followed them found that they couldn't get the criminal to talk, so they turned their attention to the famous detective Kogoro Mouri.

They hope Uncle Mori can help them interrogate the prisoner.

After all, the prisoner had specially placed a television in the corner. Although we don't know his intentions yet, it's very likely related to the tennis match that was taking place.

If the perpetrator is a ruthless bomb-wielding maniac, and if it ultimately escalates into a mass disaster, the police officers present will undoubtedly face punishment.

Uncle Mori walked over and coughed twice: "You two don't need to resist anymore. We've already sent a lot of people to the tennis court, so your partner won't have a chance to make a move."

It would be better to confess honestly as soon as possible and become a witness for the prosecution so that you can get a shorter sentence.

Uncle Mori isn't actually very good at interrogation; he's using the same methods he used when he was a detective in his youth, but unfortunately, they're not very effective.

Hideki Mamiya and his girlfriend exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads and chose to remain silent.

Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes at the sight. If this was enough to make the criminals talk, why would the detectives from Kumamoto Prefecture call you over?

Conan completely ignored Kogoro Mouri's questioning of the culprit and began to carefully investigate the room.

If we're talking about the person who most wants to catch the culprit right now, it's definitely Conan.

Since I just learned that the woman with Hideki Mamiya is his girlfriend, it effectively eliminates the possibility that he insulted Ran.

In other words, Xiaolan's disheveled clothes must have been done by that other bastard.

Conan's eyes burned with a green flame, and he couldn't wait to rush to that bastard and teach him a lesson with a soccer ball.

It has to be said that Conan's reasoning ability is several levels higher than usual when he has a buff.

Combining Sonoko's earlier account of finding the phone on the street with Ran's testimony, Conan quickly guessed the other party's true intentions.

However, there were too many people present, and if I said it directly, I would probably be suspected.

So Conan found an opportunity to run to the door and gave Kogoro Mouri a tranquilizer dart in the neck.

Kogoro Mouri was pondering the case when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck and felt dizzy as he fell backward.

"Hey? Dad, what's wrong?" Ran rushed over to help Kogoro Mouri.

The surrounding detectives immediately brightened up: "He's here! The legendary Sleeping Kogoro!"

Conan switched his voice changer to Uncle Mori's voice channel and cleared his throat: "Even if you don't say it, I can guess that your goal this time is probably related to this tennis match, right?"

Hideki Mamiya looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Conan continued to deduce using Kogoro Mouri's voice: "On our way here, we had someone investigate and found out that the owner of this factory is the same person who funded this charity tennis tournament, Representative Kenzo Narumi."

If I'm not mistaken, your target this time must be him, right?

Hideki Mamiya's expression showed even greater shock, and his girlfriend couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

After all, it was his first time being a murderer, so it's understandable that he had little experience and his facial expressions were poorly managed.

Seeing this, Conan smiled confidently: "Ran said that you don't seem to have any intention of harming her, you just don't want her to leave early and ruin your chance."

In other words, your plan can only succeed if the tennis match proceeds normally, right?

Hideki Mamiya's eyes widened: "You...you're talking nonsense, we don't know that person at all."

This childish way of lying couldn't even fool the detective who had just started his job.

With a goal in mind, everyone's tense spirits relaxed considerably.

However, even Conan cannot deduce the method of murder when there is very little evidence at the scene.

He could only use Kogoro Mouri's reputation to remind the Metropolitan Police Department to protect Kenzo Narumi, while also getting someone to contact the owner of the cell phone that Sonoko had found a few days ago, Ms. Sonoko Kakei.

The Metropolitan Police Department has already sent people to Kakei Sonoko's house to pick her up.

Hopefully, she can persuade her accomplice, who is hiding, to turn himself in at the tennis match.

Conan and the others then headed to the tennis match venue.

Because Uncle Mori was still unconscious, Ran simply carried him and threw him onto the back seat of the police car.

.

Kakei Enko never expected that Doi Akira and the others would actually take action and kill Narumi Kenzo to avenge Saeki.

Although she deeply hates Kenzo Narumi, she would definitely choose to stop her friends if she knew about their revenge plan.

Unfortunately, Kakei lost her phone the day before yesterday and is currently getting a replacement SIM card. The local telecommunications company is notoriously inefficient.

This resulted in her not receiving the text messages from Akira Doi and others.

As a result, Akira Doi and others believed that she tacitly agreed to the matter but did not want to participate.

Fortunately, things haven't gotten to the worst yet. The television broadcast showed that Cheng Zengjian was still sitting safely in the audience, surrounded by more than a dozen security personnel.

If the police take her to the scene, Kakei Sonoko believes she can persuade Doi Akira and the others to abandon their murder plan.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Kakei Yuanzi ran to the door, opened it, and found that the person standing there was not the detective she had imagined.

Instead, he was a handsome young man, or perhaps a student who hadn't graduated yet.

"You must be Miss Kakei Sonoko?" Wen Shui asked bluntly.

Kakei Sonoko: "You are..."

“I’m the detective. Alright, there’s no time to hesitate now.” Wen Shui spoke rapidly. “The match on the tennis court is about to end. If we don’t hurry, we’ll be too late.”

"Ah... okay, let's go over there quickly."

Kakei quickly put on her shoes, grabbed the keys from the doorway, and came out of the house with the young man.

Just as she reached the roadside, a Metropolitan Police Department patrol car with flashing lights sped up and stopped precisely in front of her house.

Kakei Sonoko's mind was in a mess, so she didn't think much of it and assumed that the young man had come to inform her in advance because he was worried that she would waste her time.

A middle-aged criminal police officer with a beard got out of the car and frowned slightly as he looked at Wen Shui and the other person.

"Are you from the Kumamoto Metropolitan Police Department?" Wenshui asked directly.

The detective who came to pick him up was clearly taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "It's me, and who are you?"

“No time for introductions, where’s the helicopter?” Wen Shui urged, then pointed to Kakei Sonoko behind him, “This is the thug’s friend, Miss Kakei Sonoko.”

The detective glanced at Jian Yuanzi and confirmed that she was the same person as the one in the photo.

Furthermore, Wen Shui immediately inquired about the helicopter, which probably indicated that he knew about the police leadership's use of the helicopter, leading to the guess that the young man in front of him might be a colleague from a special department.

“In the park 3 kilometers from here, that’s the only place nearby suitable for a helicopter to land.” The bearded detective opened the car door. “Get in quickly.”

Wen Shui and Jian Yuanzi entered the rear compartment one after the other.

The bearded man quickly got into the passenger seat, and the police car sped away.

When they arrived at the nearby park square, the helicopter was already circling overhead.

The propellers churned the air with a dull, hissing sound, drawing curious glances from people walking their dogs in the park.

The lead detective opened the car door and, together with his colleagues, evacuated the crowd. Wen Shui led Jian Yuanzi directly towards the helicopter.

"Wait a minute, are you going up too?" The lead detective asked, looking puzzled.

Wen Shui: "Of course, I must ensure Miss Yuanzi's safety. If the criminals try anything funny, my identity will make it easier for them to respond."

The bearded detective thought for a moment and nodded: "Then I'll leave this young lady to you. Be careful."

The bearded man and his partner stood with their legs together, giving the warm water a standard salute.

Wen Shui smiled and closed the helicopter door.

"What am I supposed to do next?" Kakei Sonoko seemed a little nervous.

Wen Shui patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't let them do anything. But you might have to suffer a little later, so you'd better be prepared."

Kakei Enko forced a smile: "Just consider it as suffering for Doi Akira and the others. It doesn't matter if I suffer a little."

With a feeling of weightlessness, the helicopter flew at an angle into the sky, and the park below gradually shrank into a miniature theme park toy.

.

Conan's group arrived at the tennis match venue earlier than Wen Shui and the others because they had set off earlier and were closer to the venue.

The tennis match continued, and the spectators were unaware that a murder was about to take place.

Conan originally thought that once he arrived at the scene, he could find out how the criminals wanted to attack Kenzo Narumi, but the place was too big, and Kenzo Narumi was indeed protected by more than a dozen bodyguards.

Conan thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out how the other party could possibly survive under the layers of bodyguard protection and the close surveillance of the Metropolitan Police Department that arrived later.

Approach Cheng Zengjian and kill him.

However, considering the need for caution, the Metropolitan Police Department still intends to suspend Kenzo Cheng's tennis matches.

Alternatively, he could leave the tennis match venue immediately under police protection and go to a safe place to wait until the match is over.

Surprisingly, Cheng Zengjian did not believe in evil spirits and even shouted at the thugs who were hiding somewhere on the TV broadcast screen, saying that he was not afraid of any assassination.

The match continued, and the audience, upon learning that someone wanted to assassinate Cheng Zengjian, not only did not leave early, but instead watched the match with even greater excitement.

Because Sonoko and Ran couldn't participate, Genta and the others were eliminated early due to the absence of Conan.

This also caused the game to proceed much faster than expected.

Soon, the professional group final, featuring renowned tennis players Kyohei Mabuchi and Masato Tachikawa, came to a conclusion.

Masato Tachikawa, who won the Fire Country Cup tennis tournament last time, successfully defended his title this time and stood on the podium.

In an effort to salvage his reputation, Kenzo Narumi took the initiative to go on stage and present the award to Masato Tachikawa.

"Congratulations, Mr. Tachikawa Masato." Kenzo Narumi shook the other's hand.

Tachikawa Masato's expression changed: "It's been a long time, Mr. Narumi."

“You…” Cheng Zengjian was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt that the tennis player in front of him looked familiar.

Tachikawa Masato sneered: "You should have forgotten by now that I worked in your factory ten years ago. My boss at the time was Mr. Saeki, the secretary you used as a scapegoat before."

After Tachikawa Masato finished speaking, he took out a prepared dagger from his pocket and took Narumi Kenzo hostage.

Cheng Zengjian was completely stunned.

He never imagined that the security team he had hired at great expense would be approached in this way.
