Only Vermouth, who is also a core member and is most skilled in infiltration and intelligence gathering, is among them.

"Don't make false accusations!"

Vodka retorted, "It's clearly because your investigation was too slow! Big Brother has already found out the truth; it's very simple..."

I haven't finished speaking yet,

Gin waved his hand, and Vodka shut up.

"Then you should continue your investigation."

Gin said in a flat tone, "Especially that guy who just moved into the Mori family's place, Chu Zhong, the more details the better."

After saying that, Gin turned and left without waiting for Vermouth to speak.

Volt quickened his pace to catch up, whispering, "Big brother, why didn't you explain clearly just now? Vermouth is really wronging people..."

"It's not that simple." Gin's voice turned cold.

"Huh?" Vodka was stunned.

Didn't you already analyze the situation, brother? Kogoro Mouri and Chu Zhong are the guys who stole 100 million yen; they're Shinichi Kudo's accomplices.

Kogoro Mouri suddenly became very generous, and there were even tens of millions of yen in cash in Chu Zhong's room. The evidence is conclusive!

"That Chu Zhong is no ordinary person; we can't act rashly." As Gin burst through the door and ran out of the office, he made a brief eye contact with Chu Zhong in the stairwell below.

Gin, who had killed countless people, saw not sudden panic and fear in Chu Zhong's eyes, but... cold-blooded killing.

A cold indifference emanating from the depths of her heart, a confidence that she could tear him to shreds without hesitation, like...

Just like the look in Gin's eyes when he looks in the mirror.

At that moment, Gin's killer instinct warned him to run away immediately!

"Such a person is definitely not an unknown individual!"

Gin said coldly, "I'm afraid this was a deliberate arrangement to ruin my plans and arouse the organization's suspicion towards me..."

"Someone is orchestrating a scheme! A grand plan targeting the organization!"

"Behind the scenes, countless eyes are watching..."

Upon hearing this, Vodka was speechless for a long time, seemingly unable to process what he was hearing.

"But brother, I don't know how to play chess, what should I do if I don't understand?"

After a long pause, Vodka finally managed to utter a sentence.

Gin remained silent for a long time.

the other side,

Chu Zhong had no idea that just because he glanced at Gin once more, he had frightened Gin so much that Gin had mistaken him for an important pawn of an unknown force.

8 PM, Mouri Detective Agency.

Inspector Megure arrived with his team and, after examining the bullet holes, determining the direction from which the bullets came, and reviewing the eyewitness accounts, made a preliminary assessment:

"There was no property loss, and the door on the third floor was not pried open."

"Those two men in black were probably being chased by enemies and happened to hide in the office."

"Brother Mori, for safety's sake, you should stay outside for the next few days."

It was getting late, making it inconvenient to move around, so the police had to wait until tomorrow to conduct a more in-depth investigation.

Megure then said, "Tonight I'm going back to the police station to look for the list of people you sent in before."

Kogoro Mouri used to be a detective. He wasn't good at solving cases, but he still caught a lot of criminals, which inevitably made him the target of resentment from some unrepentant people.

"Thank you for your help, Inspector Megure."

Kogoro Mouri bowed slightly.

If we can rule out the suspicion of being a released prisoner and confirm that today's shooting was just an accident, then we won't have to live in constant fear.

"Don't be so polite with me." Inspector Megure patted Kogoro on the shoulder.

The two used to be in a superior-subordinate relationship, but they were also friends in private and had worked together to arrest criminals on many occasions.

If someone really seeks revenge on Kogoro, then the next person to worry about is Inspector Megure.

"Dad, why don't we just stay at Mom's place? There's no need to stay in a hotel."

The Mori father and daughter disagreed on where to stay for the night.

Chu Zhong and Yuanzi both understood the underlying meaning: Xiao Lan was trying to reunite her parents again.

Kogoro said seriously, "Ran, you go to Eri's place, I'll pass."

"Why……"

Chu Zhong chimed in, "Uncle probably doesn't want to implicate Attorney Fei because of him."

Chu Zhong was aware of Xiao Lan's obsession with bringing her parents together.

"So that's how it is..." Ran Mouri realized belatedly and felt a little embarrassed.

Subsequently, Inspector Megure sent men to escort Ran Mouri to Eri Kisaki's apartment.

The parents who received the news sent their housekeeper in a private car to take the garden away.

Kogoro and Conan then went to a hotel to share a room.

As for Chu Zhong, under Kogoro's explicit gaze, he escorted Ran in a police car.

At 9:05 PM,

Chu Zhong and Xiao Lan stood hand in hand in front of a luxury apartment building, watching the police car leave.

This area is a residential area, so there is no noise and it is very quiet at night.

"Mom hasn't come home from get off work yet, Chu Jun... come upstairs and sit for a while."

Ran Mouri blushed slightly and led the way, holding hands with him.

Although she usually lives at the office, Ran Mouri occasionally stays at Eri Kisaki's rented apartment for a few days, so she has a key to the apartment.

The two took the elevator to the ninth floor.

We soon arrived at the door of room 901.

"Lord Chu, are you leaving already?"

Ran Mouri looked at Chu Zhong standing at the door with some surprise. Their hands were clasped together, as if they were unwilling to let go.

Chu Zhong could only say, "I'm more worried about Uncle's side..."

Actually, Chu Zhong also wanted to stay here, so it would be convenient to start the dungeon at night, not just for Xiao Lan, but also for Fei Yingli.

On the other hand, Chu Zhong was unsure whether he was also being targeted by the Black Organization.

Staying here until we find out what's going on with the Black Organization will only endanger Ran.

"OK then……"

Hearing that it was out of concern for her father, Ran Mouri didn't say anything more.

They just hesitated to let go of each other's hands.

"Xiaolan?"

Chu waited for two minutes, then gently reminded him.

As a result, he was suddenly pulled forward and fell forward uncontrollably, ending up in a hug with Xiaolan.

It’s weird.

The real-life Xiaolan seems to be softer and sweeter than the one in the game...

"Lord Chu..."

Xiaolan tilted her head back, her pretty face flushed pink, her cherry lips slightly parted: "The things we didn't finish at the movie theater..."

Chu Zhong understood and was about to lower his head to savor it properly...

"Cough cough!!!"

An untimely throat-clearing sound rang out behind them, forcibly reminding the two to watch their behavior.

Chu Zhongzheng turned around, but before he could see the person clearly, a sudden force pushed him in the opposite direction.

All I could hear was Xiaolan shouting, "Chu Jun! Goodnight!!!"

Chu Zhong was pushed back four or five meters, but the force was still too great. In order not to fall, he could only continue to retreat, all the way to the elevator entrance.

Meanwhile, the person who cleared their throat had already entered room 901 with Xiaolan and closed the door.

The fact that Ran reacted so strongly, especially since she lives here, clearly indicates that it's Eri Kisaki.

Chu Zhong only had time to catch a quick glance as they passed each other, recognizing her as a stunningly beautiful, mature woman with a great figure.

'I really want to be Cao Cao...'

Chu Zhong couldn't help but let his mind wander.

As everyone knows,

Inside room 901 at this moment.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Ran Mouri noticed that Eri Kisaki was standing in the entryway, shoes still on, lost in thought, and didn't come to her senses for a long time.

It seems I've witnessed something unbelievable.

"Mom, that's Chu Jun..."

Ran Mouri assumed it was caused by her own actions and began to introduce Chu Zhong with a soothing expression.

"Call him immediately! Arrange a meeting!"

Eri, regaining her senses, said in a trembling voice, "Tomorrow... I need to ask him some questions!"

Chapter 53 Xiaolan Makes a Mistake, Mother and Daughter Have a Night Talk

'Oh, okay...'

This was the first time Ran Mouri had ever seen her mother so distraught, so she quickly followed her mother's instructions and called Chu Zhong.

The time is set for after school the day after tomorrow.

"Mom, don't be angry with Chu Jun. I was the one who took the initiative just now..."

Ran Mouri explained again.

"Hmm..." Eri nodded absentmindedly, went straight back to her bedroom, and closed the door.

Ran Mouri assumed that her behavior had upset her mother, and she was so restless on the sofa that she dared not mention the shooting incident at the firm that day.

bathroom,

"I didn't expect Mom to be so angry..."

Ran Mouri, soaking in the bathtub, sighed and murmured softly, "If only we hadn't been seen..."

The image of me standing at the doorway flashed through my mind again, and I couldn't help but imagine what it would have been like if Chu Zhong had followed me into the living room, closed the door, and we had sat down on the sofa to chat...

"Lord Chu..."

As soon as Ran Mouri closed her eyes, her imagination exploded, and vivid, movie-like scenes from things she had never seen before began to play.

Even though I knew I shouldn't keep watching, I couldn't stop my curiosity and my thoughts from wandering, and I was gradually drawn in by the exciting unfolding.

"Lord Chu!"

After a long while, Ran Mouri opened her eyes as if startled from a dream.

If Chu Zhong were here, he would probably see that Ran Mouri has a negative status effect of 'Chaos Lv1' above her head.
