Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

But he was interrupted by Kogoro Mouri as soon as he opened his mouth.

"No need to discuss."

The moment Conan opens his mouth, he knows what this idiot is going to say.

With a wave of his hand, Kogoro Mori casually stacked the empty beer can aside.

The empty beer cans had been stacked into the shape of a small pyramid.

This is also a little habit that Kogoro Mouri has recently developed for entertaining himself while drinking.

At the same time, I reminded myself that if the pyramids were stacked, I wouldn't be able to drink it.

But the end result is usually that they deceive themselves and find an excuse to continue drinking.

“I’m not interested in these things, and I don’t want to get involved.”

"Since Officer Bai Gui and his team didn't continue investigating this case, it means it's solved."

Despite being quite drunk, Kogoro Mouri spoke with surprising clarity and coherence.

If you ignore the flush on his face from drinking, he doesn't look like someone who has been drinking at all.

"but......."

Conan still seemed somewhat unwilling to give up.

But this time, Kogoro Mouri didn't even offer a simple, perfunctory reply.

Kogoro Mouri's impression of this kid is getting worse and worse.

They were even considering contacting Professor Agasa to have him take the person away.

This kid has never had a moment's peace since he came to my house.

Admittedly, the title of famous detective Kogoro Mouri sounds impressive, but he cares more about his daughter's safety than that title.

Since this kid came, he's quickly become accustomed to murders that used to happen only once in a long while.

Every time this guy encounters a case, he leaves Xiaolan alone to go find clues on his own, completely disregarding Xiaolan's safety.

That alone is enough to make Kogoro Mouri's affection for him turn negative.

When someone dislikes another person, they can find a whole host of reasons to find fault with that person, even if all they do is take a dump.

And coincidentally, Conan himself has a whole host of reasons why Kogoro Mouri doesn't like him.

Considering both factors, it's quite remarkable that Kogoro Mouri's feelings towards Conan haven't turned into disgust.

And then this kid came over and brought up the matter again.

Rushing back to find Xiaolan and bringing her back was undoubtedly the right thing to do.

So now this kid wants to go back?

Given Conan Edogawa's status, he certainly couldn't go on his own.

If he wants to go, he'll most likely have to take him himself. If he goes with her, Xiaolan will probably worry and want to come along too.

Doesn't this kid have any concern for the people around him?

"hateful....."

With a resentful expression on his face, Conan plopped down on the sofa.

But the matter was still on his mind.

Chapter 1040 Mr. Deadpool, whom we haven't seen in a long time

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's completely indifferent and uncaring attitude, Conan clenched his fist tightly.

Then, somewhat helplessly, I let go.

In fact, Conan himself knows that what he is doing is not a good thing.

This is true in every respect.

Kogoro Mouri was actually protecting himself by doing this.

When Conan isn't involved in cases, his thought process is actually quite normal; he can distinguish between advantages and disadvantages.

But the thought that there might still be unsolved secrets in this case made Conan completely unable to control his burning desire to investigate.

Even knowing it might be dangerous, the thought of getting himself and those around him into trouble couldn't dispel his suicidal idea.

It's just like you, who knows that taking too much is bad for your health but still can't control yourself (crossed out).

Conan rubbed his head vigorously, feeling incredibly irritable.

In that case, we'll have to bother Professor Agasa again.

It's a bit of a hassle, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Thinking of this, Conan's expression softened considerably.

Kogoro Mouri, who was drinking and smoking nearby, noticed this very keenly.

But he didn't show any sign of anything amiss and continued drinking his wine.

Let him be, I'm too lazy to care anymore.

He took a big gulp of beer and thought to himself with a hint of malice.

However, that's what they say.

But whether they can ultimately bring themselves to do it is another matter.

No matter what, he's my friend's son. I can't just watch this idiot brat go and do something stupid, can I?

Hmm...

How come this kid didn't inherit even a fraction of Yusaku's good emotional intelligence?

As a renowned author, Yusaku Kudo was able to settle in the United States and have a wide network of connections, including even FBI agents.

This is clearly inseparable from his high emotional intelligence and smooth interpersonal skills.

But neither of these two points are evident in Conan.

What a headache.

Just thinking about this gives Kogoro Mouri a terrible headache.

Although it's not nice to say it like this, I would still advise Yusaku to create a new account while he's still young if he has the chance in the future.

This large size is basically useless.

The next morning, because it was a holiday, Conan had been quite free lately.

It is the best elementary school in Beika Town.

Teitan Elementary School has relatively ample holidays.

"I am leaving."

Early in the morning, Conan grabbed his skateboard and ran out.

I don't even know where I'm going.

After Conan left, Kogoro Mouri, dressed neatly, straightened his tie and called out to Ran Mouri:

"Xiaolan, Dad is going to see an old friend today. Let's close the office for a day."

"Didn't Sonoko keep asking you to go out and play? Luckily, you're free today."

After giving his instructions, Kogoro Mouri also went out.

He even brought his car keys with him before leaving home.

"understood."

Standing by the window, Ran Mouri watched her father drive away, a helpless expression on her face.

Despite her seemingly innocent and naive appearance, Ran Mouri, the daughter of a detective and a lawyer, is actually quite perceptive in this area.

I've followed them to so many crime scenes, after all.

I had long been aware of the strange atmosphere in my home and had some guesses in my mind.

"Fool......."

A sigh came, but it was unclear to whom it was addressed.

Maori Kogoro?

Or perhaps, Shinichi Kudo?

On the other side, he was sitting in the passenger seat of Professor Agasa's old-fashioned Beetle.

Conan is organizing the thoughts that are currently in his mind.

But there were too few clues; something was still missing.

These cannot be linked together into a complete chain of clues.

"Shinichi, is this really a good thing for us?"

Dr. Agasa, who was in charge of driving, looked worried.

To be honest, his opinion on this matter is the same as Kogoro Mouri's.

Professor Agasa actually quite admires his junior, Kogoro Mouri.

They also share similar views on many aspects.

If it weren't for the fact that Professor Agasa watched Shinichi Kudo grow up and treated him like his grandson, he wouldn't have gone along with his nonsense.

In fact, he regretted it not long after he left.

Dr. Agasa glanced discreetly at the rearview mirror, adjusted its angle slightly, and then focused his attention back on driving.

Some things don't need to be explained too clearly.

Chiba is not actually that far from Tokyo.

It only takes about fifty minutes by train.

Although Professor Agasa's car was a bit slow, it only took a little over an hour.

"We're here."

Conan let out a long breath as his feet once again touched the soil of Chiba.

Every time I come to Chiba, a very troublesome murder occurs here.

Therefore, Conan's feelings toward Chiba are actually quite complex.

"Professor Agasa, I'll go find that police officer from before."

It's clear that, although a long time has passed, this kid is still not quite used to being Conan Edogawa.

Subconsciously, he still sees himself as the high school detective Shinichi Kudo.

As for issues like identity...

At worst, they'll just use Kogoro Mouri's name again.

Act cute and innocent, then use Kogoro Mouri's name to get the information you want.

He was already very familiar with this process.

"I'm talking about Shinichi..."

Seeing Conan's somewhat anxious expression, Professor Agasa let out a long sigh.

This child is just too unreliable.

Not far behind the two, a very familiar vehicle slowly drove into the parking lot next to them.

Inside the car, Kogoro Mouri, his face full of displeasure, glared at Conan in the distance and snorted.

Admittedly, you're quite good at solving cases.

But when it comes to tracking, finding cats, and monitoring mistresses, I, Kogoro Mouri, am more skilled.

Meanwhile, after Conan arrived in Chiba, the Chiba base, which was still working overtime, immediately noticed this.

In fact, the Tokyo base had already alerted the Chiba base when Conan left Tokyo.
