Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

Hearing this, Edogawa Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but not completely.

After all, Kogoro Mouri's behavior doesn't seem like he's just staying here temporarily.

It is very likely that Aunt Fei was finally fed up with the old man's exploitation of her daughter, and was worried that her daughter would not be able to take care of herself after losing her memory, so she planned to let Xiaolan live with her for a long time.

Edogawa Conan came to this conclusion almost instantly.

But he couldn't resist his curiosity, so he leaned over, snatched the note from Kogoro Mouri's hand and took a few glances at it.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

Finally, he looked up at Kogoro Mori cautiously.

This declaration is just short of saying, "I've had enough. I'm going to divorce you and get back custody of our daughter."

Of course, Edogawa Conan didn't know whether Kogoro Mori understood what he meant.

After all, the message is still very implicit.

Probably Xiaolan was sitting next to him at the time, and in order not to give Xiaolan any psychological burden, he carefully chose his words and left this message.

"Uncle Maori, how about I go check on Sister Lan first?"

Edogawa Conan almost said, "I'll go and be a spy for you."

Kogoro Mouri was stunned for a moment, and his eyes gradually became brighter when he looked at Conan Edogawa.

"Little devil, I leave it to you!"

Chapter 167 Mao Lilan: I think my mother has a hard life

After leaving the Mouri Detective Agency, Conan Edogawa suddenly thought of a question.

Although he knew where Eri Kisaki's law firm was located, he didn't know where the apartment she rented was.

In desperation, Conan Edogawa could only ask Professor Agasa to wait for a while while he went upstairs to ask Uncle Maori.

"Huh? You don't know?" When Edogawa Conan learned from Kogoro Mouri that even he didn't know Kisaki Eri's current address, he was completely dumbfounded.

Come on, you are husband and wife!

Even though you've been separated for ten years, you don't even know where your wife lives now, and only know the location of her law firm?

Although Conan had long known that Kogoro Mouri was unreliable, he never expected him to be so outrageous.

It's a good thing Auntie Yingli didn't divorce you! Uncle!

Conan Edogawa urged Kogoro Mori to call the person involved.

Maori Kogoro expressed his resistance with a straight face, then took out his cell phone and called Kisaki Eri...

"I've been blocked." Kogoro Mouri turned his head and looked at Conan Edogawa in a daze.

"...I should have thought of it earlier." Edogawa Conan covered his forehead and sighed, "Aunt Eri must be very angry now."

"What should I do?" Kogoro Mouri was so panicked that he didn't know what to do next.

"We can contact Miss Kuriyama first." Edogawa Conan suggested, "She is Aunt Eri's secretary, she must know Aunt Eri's current address."

"Kuriyama, yes, there's also Kuriyama!" Kogoro Mori flipped through his contact book several times but couldn't find Kuriyama Midori's contact information.

"Ah..." Maori Kogoro's expression froze, and he turned to look at Edogawa Conan with tears in his eyes, "I, I don't think I have added Kuriyama's contact information."

"You..." Edogawa Conan was so angry that he almost passed out.

Does this person respect or despise Aunt Yingli?

"Forget it, I'll find a solution myself!" Edogawa Conan has given up communicating with Mouri Kogoro, turned around and ran out.

The proper search for Kisaki Eri's address failed, but he could still take a detour!

However, the only thing worth thinking about was which mobile phone he should use.

Edogawa Conan's?

Or is it Kudo Shinichi's?

……

"Uh, Conan, you're forcing me to make a mistake!" Takagi Shigeki leaned forward, put his face close to the phone and lowered his voice, "Although the Metropolitan Police Department does have the information of most people, you want Attorney Hime's address in one phone call..."

"I can't do anything about it, Officer Takagi." Edogawa Conan replied in an aggrieved tone, "You know, we went to London a few days ago, but we encountered some accidents, and Sister Xiaolan came back early."

"But my uncle and I don't have the key to the house, and now we are locked out."

"And Sister Xiaolan went to stay temporarily at Aunt Yingli's residence."

"We would like to go back, but the only key that is not locked in the house is the one that Xiaolan has. But we can't contact her, so I have to go to Aunt Yingli's place and ask Xiaolan for the key myself."

This guy doesn't even need to prepare a lie before telling it.

Moreover, he is very experienced in trapping Takagi Wataru and he fished out the destination easily.

"Thank you very much for your help, Officer Takagi." After saying thank you in a perfunctory manner, Conan Edogawa held the address he had just obtained and was about to set off with Dr. Agasa.

It is an honor for Officer Takagi to meet you.

Dr. Agasa looked at Edogawa Conan's actions with some helplessness and sighed.

Who does this child take after?

……

ding dong~

The doorbell rang outside the door and woke up Mao Lilan.

Looking up at Suzuki Sonoko, who had fallen asleep with tears in her eyes, Mao Li Ran carefully freed herself from the arms of this strange "friend".

She actually wanted to hide it.

But this good friend seemed to know her too well.

After just a few words on the phone, he noticed something was wrong with her, and after repeated questioning, he discovered the truth about her amnesia.

Perhaps because she had someone by her side, Kisaki Eri, who had been following her around for the past two days and trying to awaken her memory by "recalling the past", finally found some time to solve her work problems.

When she opened the door, the first thing she saw was that the room was empty. Mao Lilan thought it was a prank played by the children of other residents in the same apartment building.

As a result, a sweet voice of "Sister Xiaolan" made her lower her head.

"Edogawa...Conan." Mao Lilan involuntarily took a half step back and looked at the child in front of her with some vigilance, whose appearance and behavior were completely inconsistent.

Mao Lilan frowned in annoyance.

She finally remembered what she had overlooked.

She forgot to ask Taiyi about the origin of this abnormal little ghost.

Hearing that distant address, seeing that wary look and the gesture of taking a half step back, the expression on Edogawa Conan's face froze.

After the reunion, Mao Lilan's behavior really broke his heart.

His mind was in such a mess that he didn't know what to say first.

"Are you here to find me or... your mother?" After suppressing her emotions, Mouri Ran blocked the door and refused to let Edogawa Conan in, and asked him why he came.

"I'm here to look for Sister Xiaolan." Edogawa Conan replied with a forced smile, "Uncle Maori and I want to know if Sister Xiaolan plans to stay at Aunt Eri's place for a few days before going back."

"I don't know." Mao Lilan looked at Edogawa Conan with a weird look in her eyes. "For me now, whether I live here or go to the Mao Li Detective Agency, it doesn't make any difference...right?"

Thinking back to the dishes that her "mother" had prepared for her over the past two days to take care of her... Mao Lilan's face darkened slightly.

She couldn't understand where that 'mother' got the confidence to cook given her cooking skills.

But, even if I didn’t live with this mother who was not good at cooking, I still developed good cooking skills and excellent housekeeping skills... What kind of environment did I live in before?

Moreover, intellectually speaking, Mao Lilan thought it would be best for her to continue living with her "mother".

After all, she is a 17-year-old high school girl, and it is necessary for her to 'avoid her father when she grows up'.

More importantly, she felt a little uneasy about letting her mother, who was not good at cooking, live alone.

God knows how long it has been since she last had a meal cooked by her family at home.

In any case, Mao Lilan didn't think that person had ever eaten the food she had made in the past ten years, otherwise she wouldn't have shown off her cooking skills in front of her amnesiac daughter.

Chapter 168: Shinomiya Kaguya Wants to Become an Emperor

"Long time no see, Lord Knight. And... this is the second time we meet, lady."

In the reception room of Shinomiya's house, Shinomiya Kaguya, looking a little haggard, greeted Taichi and Shinjo Akane.

"My name is Akane Shinjo, you can just call me Akane." Akane Shinjo sat down next to Taichi holding the ragdoll cat and introduced herself to Kaguya Shinomiya.

"Why are you rushing to find me? Are you in some trouble?" Looking at Kaguya Shinomiya's haggard look, Taiyi took the initiative to ask.

"I came here to ask for help." Shinomiya Kaguya replied with a wry smile, "The Shinomiya family intends to send me away as a 'sacrifice'."

"Because the Shido faction assassinated an important member of the Ooka faction?" Taichi took the initiative to bring up this topic that only people in the circle knew about and was strictly limited to certain circles.

"That's partly the reason." Shinomiya Kaguya nodded and replied, "The more important reason is that father is ill."

"There are more inside stories... Ai, you tell me for me." Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head and looked at her confidant who had officially drawn a clear line with Shinomiya Huangguang.

"Yes!" Hayasaka Ai stood up with an angry expression on her face, "According to rumors circulating within the Shinomiya family, Master Shinomiya Yan'an intended to give some of the Shinomiya Group's shares to the eldest lady before he fell ill."

"So, this is a fight over the family property?" Taichi tilted his head and looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, "And the men of the Shinomiya family unanimously voted to marry you off, a girl who has the opportunity to get a certain share of the shares and snatch food from their mouths?"

"No, only Shigong Huangguang and Shigong Qinglong have this idea." Hayasaka Ai shook her head and replied, "Shigong Yunying is opposed to it."

"Moreover, Sigong Yunying has repeatedly invited the young lady to 'cooperate'."

"Because of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts?" Taichi asked with a raised eyebrow.

Otherwise, he would never be able to understand why Shinomiya Yunying invited Shinomiya Kaguya to join him.

After all, Kaguya Shinomiya has no say at all in the Shinomiya family.

"That's probably the reason, and the proportion of this reason might be very high." Hayasaka Ai's answer was not very confident.

"Because the Shido faction committed a serious assassination and was discovered, the Shinomiya family is eager to abandon the old ship and look for a new one. A sacrifice for the marriage... So, which ship did Shinomiya Huangguang choose?" Taiyi continued to ask.

"The Shijo family." Hayasaka Ai paused, then added, "Or rather, the neutral faction represented by the Shijo family."

"It's hard to imagine that Shinomiya Huangguang would actually lower himself to marry into the Shijo family who hates the Shinomiya family."

"What's even more outrageous is that I heard that the Shijo family also has a tendency to make the marriage go smoothly."

"I don't think this is strange at all." Taiyi pouted and replied, "When it comes to capitalists, there are no unresolved grudges... If there are, it only means that the benefits offered are not enough to impress the other party."

"...Ah, I suddenly understand." Hayasaka Ai was stunned for a moment, then murmured in a slightly low voice, "Damn Shinomiya Huangguang."

"Love, you should be careful when you speak." Kaguya Shinomiya leaned on the sofa like a sick beauty and warned, "You will be betrayed by someone with ulterior motives."

"After your father's death, your parents will continue to be loyal to the Shinomiya family as subordinates of Brother Huang Guang."

"...The reason why Shijo agreed was probably because Shijo Tei asked him to do so." Taichi stroked his chin and said, "That guy seems to really want to become Kaguya Knight."

"What kind of joke is this?" Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai showed the same expression of 'this is too ridiculous'.

"Hey, Kaguya, do you have the determination and awareness to compete with Shinomiya Huangguang and others for the shares of Shinomiya Group?" Taiyi suddenly looked at Shinomiya Kaguya and asked this question.

"Huh?" Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai both looked confused.

"If you have one, I can go to the hall of Sigong Yan'an first and talk to Old Yan'an to see if he has any idea of leaving part of his inheritance to you. If so... I will amplify that idea and let him make arrangements in advance."

"But, can we do this?" Shinomiya Kaguya blinked and looked at Taichi with some confusion and asked.

"If he has this idea, then he can do it. If not, then you should prepare to cut ties with the Shinomiya family as soon as possible. Unless you really intend to marry them as a sacrifice for the marriage alliance."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Lord Knight."

As an elite who has received Shinomiya Yunying's imperial education since childhood, Shinomiya Kaguya has this determination and awareness.

Moreover, she has been preparing for this day for ten years.

"However, you'd better think about who you will depend on in the future." Taiyi reminded again, "An organization like the Phantom Thieves of Hearts that can only exist in urban legends is not a stable object that you can rely on in the real world after all."

"I've already thought about this." Shinomiya Kaguya smiled slightly, "I have a pretty good relationship with Vice President Fujiwara, and I also know her parents."

Well, Kaguya Shinomiya decided to join the Fujiwara faction.

Anyway, with her best friend Fujiwara Chika around, she won't suffer any grievances in the faction.
