Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

He definitely needs to rest now.

But he couldn't bear to do nothing and go back to his room to rest.

"It's already been reported."

The woman said anxiously.

"Lan, please help comfort this lady."

Kogoro Mouri called his daughter over.

As the person present who is probably the strongest fighter, Ran Mouri is very suitable to protect and comfort this emotionally agitated woman.

"Little brat, come with me."

Calling Conan, Kogoro Mouri headed towards the front desk.

Although this kid is always causing trouble and likes to mess around.

But it can be of great help in many cases.

Kogoro Mouri glanced discreetly at Conan, who was trying to gain the woman's trust by acting cute, and sighed inwardly.

Sometimes I really don't know if this kid's IQ is high or low.

Even if Kogoro Mouri is a complete idiot, he's still a detective who transitioned from being a police officer.

I still have the most basic skills.

Even if we can't figure everything out from a single clue, it's impossible that we haven't noticed anything after spending so much time together.

"Okay~ Here we come!"

Upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's call, Conan quickly followed in his footsteps.

At the same time, the details of the case kept replaying in his mind.

Sure enough, the most important thing now is to retrieve the hotel's surveillance footage and check the woman's room.

If it were a kidnapper, then the other party couldn't just disappear without a word, so things are probably not that simple.

Looking up at the back of Kogoro Mouri's neck, Conan felt a restless urge to touch his hand.

Luo Zhen, standing outside the crowd, didn't go up to speak, but silently followed behind the two.

If it is determined that this incident was caused by an anomalous creature, then it's his turn to take over.

"Ah, it hurts."

Suddenly, Luo Zhen felt as if something had bumped his calf, but the force wasn't great.

Looking down, Luo Zhen saw a little boy wearing giraffe pajamas.

"I told you not to run around, Shin-chan!"

Misae Nohara rolled up her sleeves and strode over, saying...

Hearing the familiar name, Luo Zhen couldn't help but feel emotional.

This is his childhood.

In the past, Doraemon was another childhood favorite alongside Crayon Shin-chan.

In Luo Zhen's opinion, the biggest difference between Nohara Shinnosuke and Nobi Nobi is that one is very good at flirting, while the other is a bit... naive.

Without saying a word, Luo Zhen quickly followed Kogoro Mouri and Conan as they left.

These two are quite well-known within the organization.

At first, Conan's affairs even caused some minor disputes.

As he turned around, the ema (votive plaque) at Luo Zhen's waist swayed gently.

Although the ability may seem unremarkable, this ema (votive plaque) is actually quite useful.

Chapter 203 The Grim Reaper Brings Cases and Trouble

Soon, a capable police officer arrived at the hotel with his men.

Normally, missing persons cases can only be filed 5 hours after the disappearance is confirmed.

However, since the missing person was a child under ten years old, and there were reportedly suspicious individuals around, Hyakki Funetaro immediately led a group of people to the scene after receiving the news.

"It's you, Mr. Mori."

Looking at Kogoro Mouri, whom he had just met yesterday, Hyakki Funetaro's gaze became somewhat subtle.

During the confirmation of Kogoro Mouri's identity with the police in Tokyo, an inspector named Inspector Juzo Megure inadvertently mentioned:

"That Mori guy is like the Grim Reaper, bringing cases and trouble wherever he goes."

He hadn't taken it too seriously at first, but now that he sees it, it's clear.

That doesn't seem unreasonable, does it?

"Oh, Officer Bai Gui, you've arrived."

Kogoro Mouri, who was checking things out of the room, turned around and greeted Funetaro Hyakuki with a look of surprise.

Compared to the group of police officers he was familiar with, Hyakki Funetaro was much more capable.

Although he is a police officer from Chiba, his professionalism is no less than that of some elites in Tokyo.

"Was anything discovered at the scene?"

Commanding people to begin surveying the scene, Hyakki Funetaro asked.

After all, they had just arrived, so they certainly couldn't have observed as carefully as Kogoro Mouri.

"No, no useful clues have been found so far."

"I just found a spot to lean against," Kogoro Mouri replied.

To be honest, he's almost at his limit.

I haven't been consuming much energy since yesterday, and I've vomited two or three times.

I feel all sorts of discomfort in my body.

Right now, I'm only holding on by sheer willpower.

"Really? Thank you for your hard work."

Nodding, Hyakki Funetaro said.

Most detectives wouldn't get involved in such matters without a client's request.

Don't think of the detective profession as something noble or mysterious.

In this day and age, most detectives' jobs involve things like taking secret photos and catching mistresses.

A detective who has participated in solving multiple cases is already considered an outstanding individual.

Not to mention detectives like Kogoro Mouri, who frequently solve cases that baffle the police.

The fact that Mouri Funetaro was willing to help solve the case without being asked or obligated to do so further improved his impression of Mouri Kogoro.

"Brother Baigui, the surveillance footage has been retrieved."

Outside the room, a police officer shouted.

While Hyakki Funetaro and Mouri Kogoro were talking, the other police officers did not stop working.

"Mr. Mori, would you like to come along?"

Before leaving, Hyakki Funetaro looked at Mouri Kogoro and asked.

Scratching his head, Kogoro Mouri glanced down at Conan's 'innocent' smile and sighed helplessly.

"Let's go, you little rascal."

After saying that, he walked out of the room.

Conan didn't think too much about it. He put down the object he had been checking several times and followed Kogoro Mouri.

Before leaving the room, he seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked back.

But all that could be seen were open windows and curtains fluttering in the breeze.

"Illusion?"

Just a moment ago, he may have sensed that someone was watching him.

As a detective who often offends people, his perception is quite sharp.

Many of his cases only found a breakthrough after he realized the suspect's malicious intent.

After Conan left, a slender figure appeared in the woods outside the window.

The branches rustled in the wind.

The limbs of the slender figure seemed to sway along with the branches.

Something seemed to be waving in the darkness.

"Brother Baigui".

Naruhira Akito, who was negotiating with the waiter at the front desk, nodded to Hyakki Funetaro.

He and Hyakki Funetaro were not only colleagues, but also close friends.

One of the reasons why Hyakki Funetaro was so concerned about this matter was because he thought of Narumi Hyōrō.

"Alright, come and take a look."

After opening the video, the group sat together and watched the surveillance footage from last night to this morning.

Because the missing child was the kind of well-behaved child who wouldn't run away.

Therefore, the scope of monitoring needs to be reduced significantly.

"No problem?"

Kogoro Mouri, feeling somewhat dejected, wondered to himself.

He genuinely didn't notice anything unusual.

Having already noticed something amiss, Conan looked up and glanced at the reactions of the others.

If Akihito Naruhira and the others fail to notice, he'll probably have to resort to his old tricks of acting cute to give them a hint.

Fortunately, Hyakki Funetaro and Narumi Akito noticed the figure that flashed by in the corner of the surveillance camera.

"Wait a minute, back up."

"Pause!"

The two shouted at the same time.

Seeing this, Conan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seems there's no need for him to use his awkward acting skills to give hints.

Although he may know that his acting is awkward, there's nothing he can do about it.

He spent most of his time learning various skills with his father in Hawaii.

She learned almost nothing about her mother's best skills: acting and cross-dressing.

"This is it, can you zoom in?"

Hyakki Funetaro asked the police officer next to him.

Soon, the pattern in that corner was moved to a point where everyone present could see it clearly.

Although the problem stems from the quality of the surveillance footage itself, it is still relatively easy to identify the 'people' in the video.

He was wearing a neat suit and a red tie.

None of this matters.

The important thing is the other person's obviously abnormal height and arms.

Judging from the picture, this guy is probably two stories tall just by standing.

Her long arms reached all the way down to her knees.
