The Great Villain from Conan

"Yuanzi, be careful!"

On the other side, Mao Lilan, who came with the five little ones, saw the scene that Sonoko was about to be attacked, and screamed subconsciously.

"Shh!"

Just as Haibara Ai and Conan were about to help, the golden talisman worn by Sonoko suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light and turned into a several-inch thick golden protective shield that enveloped her completely.

"boom!!!"

The metal baseball bat in the middle-aged sturdy man's hand hit the golden protective shield heavily, but not only failed to shake the golden protective shield at all, but also cracked the base of his hands, and the metal baseball bat was also shaken away.

Before the middle-aged man could figure out the situation, Mao Lilan had already rushed towards him and kicked him away.

After dealing with the middle-aged strong man who attacked Sonoko, Mao Lilan asked with some concern: "Sonoko, are you okay?"

"I...I'm fine."

Hearing what Mao Lilan said, Sonoko shook her head subconsciously.

Conan walked up to the middle-aged man who was kicked unconscious, ripped off the scarf on his face, revealing an ugly face, and turned to Sonoko and asked, "Sister Sonoko, do you know this man?"

"do not know."

"Then why did he attack you?"

Facing Yuanta and the others' suspicious looks, Yuanzi rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "How should I know? Maybe this guy is mentally ill!"

Sonoko herself felt helpless. She was obviously an approachable rich girl, so why did people always come to cause trouble for her?

Last time he was attacked by Daoxie Zhengyan, and now he was attacked by an unknown middle-aged man. It was like he was offended by the evil spirits!

Mao Lilan suggested: "Forget it, let's call the police first! Let Officer Megure and the others investigate and we'll know."

"Wow-wow-wow-wow-"

After receiving the call from Mouri Ran and others, Officer Megure and his team arrived quickly, in less than two minutes.

The reason why Inspector Megure and his colleagues were able to respond at lightning speed was that three vicious incidents had occurred near this department store where lone women were beaten with metal baseball bats.

It is obvious that the middle-aged strong man who just attacked Yuanzi is the criminal of these cases.

Chapter 233 Hattori Shizuka (First update, please vote)

Under the interrogation of Inspector Megure and others, the middle-aged strong man quickly admitted the crime he had committed and his motives for committing the crime.

The middle-aged sturdy man's name is Dingjin Fangxiong. He is a security guard in the parking lot of Beihu Department Store.

Almost a year ago, Ding Jin Fangxiong's son was hit and killed by a female driver in the underground parking lot of this shopping mall.

It is said that the female driver was wearing high heels and failed to brake in time, which led to the death of Ding Jin Fangxiong's son on the spot.

Ding Jin Fangxiong has never been able to get over the trauma of his son being hit and killed by a car, so when he sees those female drivers wearing high heels, he can't help but beat them up to vent his anger.

It just so happened that Yuanzi was wearing high heels today and appeared in the underground parking lot alone. Ding Jin Fangxiong subconsciously mistook her for a female driver, which led to what happened just now.

Originally, according to the crime committed by Ding Jin Fangxiong, he only needed to serve a few months in jail.

It's a pity that Ding Jin Fangxiong shouldn't have attacked Yuanzi, causing her to waste a golden talisman.

The price of the Golden Light Talisman is 100 million yen. It is obvious that the behavior of Ding Jin Yoshio has caused huge property losses to Sonoko, so the sentence directly increased from a few months to more than ten years.

After learning the whole story, Yuanzi was speechless. She was not even old enough to get a driver's license, let alone drive on the road. It was simply an unprovoked disaster.

After this incident, Sonoko became more aware of the preciousness of the Golden Talisman, and hurriedly took Mao Lilan to the headquarters of Huan Yin Fang to exchange the Golden Talisman.

With a special physique like Yuanzi that makes him vulnerable to attack, it would be difficult for him to feel safe without dozens of golden talismans on him!

……

It was a nice day on Saturday.

Maori Detective Agency

"Come on, Thor! Go! Go..."

Hearing Maori Kogoro's yelling, Maori Ran, who was preparing lunch in the kitchen with Raven, couldn't help but frown and shouted, "Dad, can you turn down the volume of the TV? It's really loud!"

"I know. You're so long-winded."

Kogoro Mouri muttered a few words impatiently, but still obediently lowered the volume of the TV.

Two days ago, after Mao Lilan successfully earned 1 billion yen by reselling the Golden Light Talisman, she was originally planning to buy a place for Kisaki Eri as an outer disciple so that Kisaki Eri could also join Huan Yin Fang.

As a result, the person in charge of recruiting outer disciples said that the quota for new outer disciples had been filled.

This time, Huanyinfang was recruiting outer disciples, and the empress only gave a total of 10,000 places.

Although 10,000 places does not sound like a small number, if the headquarters and the nine branches are evenly distributed, they can only recruit 1,000 outer disciples each.

In addition, the major financial forces in the island country have joined forces to grab most of the places, leaving even fewer places for ordinary girls.

For example, the Suzuki Group of the Sonoko family grabbed 50 places for outer disciples.

Except for the sisters Suzuki Tomoko and Sonoko, the remaining 47 places for outer disciples were all assigned to the female elites who had been carefully trained since childhood under the Suzuki Group.

A chaebol like the Suzuki Group will definitely cultivate some close confidants and subordinates.

Those female elites who are able to be allocated the quota of outer disciples are either orphans adopted by the Suzuki Group since childhood, or the daughters of the group's confidants and subordinates. Their interests are tied to the Suzuki Group, so their loyalty is definitely guaranteed.

In fact, with the strength of the Suzuki Group, it is entirely possible to seize more places for outer disciples. However, if it did so, it would definitely provoke a joint resistance from other chaebol forces, which would be counterproductive.

With the joint efforts of the major financial groups, the recruitment quota for outer disciples of Huanyinfang was filled in less than two days.

Therefore, Ran Mouri could only temporarily give up the idea of ​​letting Eri Kisaki join Genonbo.

Mao Lilan, who made money for the first time, wanted to use the money to honor her parents, just like most new office workers.

So, Ran Mouri transferred 400 million yen to the bank accounts of Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri respectively, and kept 200 million yen for herself as pocket money.

As the saying goes: A man who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and a man who takes someone's money will be grateful.

Ever since Kogoro Mori received 400 million yen in pension, his status in the family has plummeted.

Baili Jing and Conan, who were playing games on the sofa, looked at Maori Kogoro's angry but speechless look, and smiled with a bit of gloating.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a sudden knock on the door, followed by a noble lady in a purple kimono, with fair skin, beautiful looks and excellent temperament, who walked in from outside.

"What a beauty!"

When Conan and Kogoro Maori saw this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Kogoro Mouri quickly got up and rushed into the bathroom, dressed carefully, put on a new suit, applied hair wax, shaved his beard, and walked towards the lady with a smile on his face.

"My beautiful lady, please take a seat first. Can we talk slowly about anything?"

Maori Kogoro warmly welcomed the lady to sit down, and then called towards the kitchen: "Xiaolan, hurry up and pour two cups of tea, there are guests coming!"

"Okay, come right away."

Although Kogoro Mori's status as a young brother in the family is gradually declining, Ran Mori still gives him face in front of outsiders.

"Hello, my name is Ikebo Shizuka. I came here today because I hope Mr. Maori can help me find someone who was my classmate in middle school..."

Looking at the noble lady who was telling Kogoro Maori about the content of the commission, Baili Jing began to search for related plot memories in his mind, and suddenly revealed a playful smile.

Judging from the plot memories searched by Bailijing, the noble lady in the purple kimono in front of him should have another name - Hattori Shizuka!

That's right!

This noble lady with the attributes of a Yamato Nadeshiko is none other than Hattori Heiji's mother.

The reason why Hattori Shizuka used the identity of "Ikenami Shizuka" to come to issue a commission to Mori Kogoro was because she was worried that Hattori Heiji was young and inexperienced and would easily be bullied by Mori Kogoro, so she wanted to see what kind of person he was.

Baili Jing also had to admit that the mothers in the protagonist group were indeed more capable than each other.

Whether it is Eri Kisaki, Yukiko Kudo, or the Hattori Shizuka in front of her, they are all very charming beauties who can easily make people have evil thoughts about them.

"I see. Your purpose in looking for Mr. Shibata Shiro is to get back a very memorable photo!"

After learning about Hattori Shizuka's purpose, Maori Kogoro smiled and patted his chest and said, "Leave this matter to me. I will help you find Mr. Shibata Shiro as soon as possible."

Chapter 234 The Legendary Mermaid Island

Every time a beautiful customer comes to place a commission, Kogoro Mouri always looks very motivated.

"Ms. Ikebo, you haven't had lunch yet, have you? Why don't you have a quick meal with us? It's a good opportunity to eat while waiting for my father's investigation results."

Faced with Mao Lilan's sincere invitation, Hattori Shizuka was too embarrassed to refuse, so she could only reveal a gentle smile and said, "Then sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, just an extra pair of chopsticks."

Mao Lilan smiled slightly, walked into the kitchen again, and helped Riven bring out the prepared food.

Baili Jing and his friends had just finished eating half of their meal when Kogoro Mouri found out the current address of Shibata Shiro through the connections of Inspector Megure.

Maori Kogoro smiled and said, "Ms. Ikenami, Mr. Shibata is now a physical education teacher at Shizuoka High School. He and his wife are currently living in a rental apartment. Let's drive over after dinner!"

"Then I'll trouble you."

After everyone finished lunch, Kogoro Mouri took Shizuka Hattori, Ran and Conan to the apartment where Mr. Shibata lived.

Looking at the backs of Kogoro Mori and the others as they left, Baili Jing had no intention of joining them.

With the establishment of various supernatural forces and the existence of the Death God website, Baili Jing can gain tens of thousands of villain points every day.

Therefore, there is no need for Baili Jing to follow Conan and the others to the crime scene for a few hundred villain points, thus wasting most of the day.

The most important thing is that when Baili Jing was searching for memories about Hattori Shizuka in his mind, he also recalled the details of the case.

Judging from the plot memories retrieved from Bailijing, Shibata Shiro had already been killed by his wife.

The reason why Shibata Shiro's wife killed him was because he was a big gambler.

Shibata Shiro not only lost all the family money, but also sold his wife's jewelry, car, computer and heirlooms, which made his wife unable to bear it anymore.

If Shibata Shiro's wife was a great beauty, Baili Jing might have helped her, but unfortunately she was just an ordinary-looking old lady, so Baili Jing was too lazy to join in the fun.

After separating from Maori Kogoro and the others, Baili Jing used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to the side of the empress, and took her and Ji Ruxue to practice the Hundred Flowers Technique.

It is quite fun to practice Hundred Flowers Skill in a luxurious office hundreds of meters high, overlooking most of Tokyo through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

On the other side, with Conan's hint, Kogoro Mouri quickly deduced from the clues left at the scene that Mrs. Shibata was the murderer.

Shortly after Kogoro Mori solved the case, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha also rushed over from Osaka and exposed the true identity of Hattori Shizuka.

When they learned that Hattori Shizuka was actually Hattori Heiji's mother, Mori Kogoro and the others almost popped their eyes out of their heads in shock.

Hattori Shizuka is a beautiful woman with fair skin and beautiful appearance. Standing next to the dark-skinned Hattori Heiji, they form a sharp contrast and do not look like mother and son at all.

Not to mention Conan, even if Sherlock Holmes were alive, he probably wouldn't have thought that Hattori Shizuka would be Hattori Heiji's mother.

After Hattori Heiji and his companions sent Hattori Shizuka on the train back to Osaka, the two of them had no intention of returning to Osaka with her. Instead, they issued a new invitation to Mori Kogoro and his companions.

This time, Hattori Heiji and his companions came to Beika City not to bring Hattori Shizuka back, but to handle a case, which required them to go to the American Island in Wakasa Bay, Fukui Prefecture.

Compared to the name American Island, the surrounding residents prefer to call it "Mermaid Island".

……

next morning

Under the leadership of Hattori Heiji, Baili Jing and Maori Kogoro and others boarded the cruise ship to Mermaid Island.

The reason why the American Island is called "Mermaid Island" is because there lived a long-lived woman on the island who had eaten mermaid flesh.

It is said that the longevity lady is 130 years old, and a TV station even interviewed her three years ago.

It is precisely because of the mermaid legend that the island attracts many tourists, so the tourism industry in Mermaid Island is very developed.

After all, according to legend, ordinary people can gain immortality by eating mermaid meat.

Even Miyano Shiho and Gin and their friends once came to Mermaid Island to investigate because of the mermaid legend circulating on the island, not to mention other people.

Ever since countries publicly acknowledged the existence of extraordinary beings, the flow of people to Mermaid Island has skyrocketed several times. Even many agents and spies have come here specifically to secretly investigate the mermaids.

It’s a pity that the mermaid legend is false. The longevity lady who lived to be 130 years old had actually died a long time ago.

In order to maintain the island's prosperous tourism industry, the granddaughter of the long-lived woman disguised herself as her after her death.

Until three years ago, Changshoupo's granddaughter died in a fire, after which Changshoupo's great-granddaughter, Shimabukuro Kimie, continued to disguise herself as her.

Baili Jing followed Maori Kogoro and the others to the Mermaid Island in order to confirm the legend that there were mermaids on the Mermaid Island and to save Shimabukuro Kimie at the same time.
