Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

But after realizing what she had done, she immediately straightened her expression and bowed slightly to the people in front of her: "Ah, nice to meet you. I am Nanatsuki Koshimizu, an intern assistant at the Kindaichi Detective Agency."

"It's the one Yoshiki mentioned before," Xiaolan said with a friendly smile.

“No, I should be considered your official assistant now,” Amuro said with a smile. “Also, it’s been a long time, Ms. Mori, Mr. Mori.”

"Oh! You're that very famous detective!"

As soon as Amuro Tooru finished speaking, the high school girl next to Ran became interested when she saw Hayashi Yoshiki.

Is Sera Mami?

Meeting her slightly curious gaze, Lin Jiashu greeted her with a smile.

"So you were talking about Conan just now?"

"Yeah, that kid went to Professor Agasa's house."

Kogoro Mouri said, "But Itsuki, why did you suddenly come here, and with people from your agency?"

"Well, it's because they were very curious about Uncle Mori, so I just brought them over to take a look."

Lin Jiashu explained.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately straightened up, adopting a profound expression.

Chapter 428: Possessed by a Ghost

"I see, so you've come to learn from me."

On the sofa in the Mouri Detective Agency, the middle-aged man also picked up his glasses.

He slowly straightened his tie and coughed.

Then, looking up, he saw that Ran had unhesitatingly served the guest the best tea leaves, the ones that Chairman Suzuki had given him, which made Kogoro Mori's eyes twitch.

No, he usually wouldn't even drink this himself!

After serving tea to Lin Jiashu, Xiaolan smiled.

"Sorry to bother you suddenly... I'm just curious about Mr. Mori."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki was a little embarrassed. "Because I kept seeing the name 'Sleeping Kogoro' in the newspapers, and he has connections with the agency, I couldn't help but ask Mr. Hayashi and the others."

"Well, compared to that lazy kid Ashu, I do get more screen time."

"Because Brother Jiashu has other things to do, and he also has to write novels."

"Mainly because we're here, there's basically no need to ask the BOSS for help."

Outside the agency, Amuro Tooru was still very protective of Hayashi Yoshiki. He smiled and said, "It's a pity that we didn't get to witness Mr. Mori's reasoning at the Twilight Villa because of Kaito Kid's interference... But, may I ask, is 'Sleeping Kogoro' really asleep? Or is it a state where he can cast aside all distractions and concentrate all his energy on reasoning?"

"Well, I don't know much about that either, but..."

When asked this question, even his daughter, Xiaolan, looked at him with curiosity.

When Kogoro Mouri put on a deep expression, Sera Masumi's eyes narrowed.

She is now almost certain that Conan Edogawa is Shinichi Kudo, whom she met when she was a child. After some investigation, she also discovered that Kogoro Mouri began to rise to fame around the time Shinichi Kudo disappeared and Conan was staying at the Mouri Detective Agency.

"Perhaps there is another self living inside me that can objectively analyze the results of my reasoning."

"Another self?"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki was a little stunned when she heard this answer.

"Ah, they always seem to show up at the worst possible time."

As Kogoro Mouri said this, he subconsciously touched the back of his neck. "Each time, it is accompanied by a sudden, electric-like pain in the back of my neck. I relax and feel extremely sleepy, and I can't help but fall asleep... This is probably the result of my brain cells working at full capacity. In short, the case is over as soon as I wake up, and I don't even leave the pressure of the case until I wake up."

"It sounds like something like a second personality."

Amuro Tooru was somewhat surprised.

Having never seen it with his own eyes, he naturally wouldn't connect it to the fact that Kogoro Mouri has Conan behind him.

Only Sera Masumi truly confirmed her own thoughts.

"Or perhaps he's possessed by a ghost," Lin Jiashu laughed.

"Yoshiki-nii, don't joke like that!" Ran exclaimed first, then looked at Kogoro Mouri with some concern: "Dad, do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"

Kogoro Mouri naturally resisted this.

After circumventing that topic, Amuro Tooru asked Kogoro Mouri about his secret to frequently encountering cases.

"There's no secret to it."

"If I had to put it into words, maybe it's my aura... like I have a natural aura that attracts cases, haha."

He has no sense of humility whatsoever.

The conversation didn't turn out to be anything particularly interesting, but Koshimizu Nanatsuki was very interested in Sera Masumi.

She mentioned that she used to be a female high school detective, and talked to her for a long time on this topic. Meanwhile, Yoshiki Hayashi smiled and carefully looked at Sera Masumi while holding his teacup.

really……

From any angle, if it weren't for that uniform, you wouldn't be able to tell she's a girl—even Kaito Kid couldn't tell she was a girl after stripping Sera Masumi of her clothes.

When Ran secretly noticed that Yoshiki's gaze lingered on Sera Masumi's chest for a moment before quickly turning away, she couldn't help but chuckle for some reason.

"Brother Jiashu, would you like another cup of tea?"

"Okay, this tea is delicious."

"Of course! This is a very precious tea that Mr. Shiro Suzuki gave me!"

Kogoro Mouri said somewhat irritably.

At that moment, there was a knock on the office door, and before anyone could answer, someone pushed them in.

Three middle-aged women of different builds were standing outside the door.

A short woman with buck teeth, a tall, thin woman wearing glasses, and a very fat woman.

"Excuse me, Mr. Mori."

As the three walked in, the plump woman chuckled and said, "We are three amateur female mystery novelists, and we also met on social media."

"Uh, is there something you need?"

Kogoro Mouri stared at the three of them, momentarily stunned.

"Do you have any requests for door-to-door service?" Amuro Tooru smiled.

“No, we came here specifically because we heard we could hear the famous detective Mori tell his stories.” The tall, thin woman seemed puzzled as she said this, and asked, “Didn’t Ze Li tell you we were coming?”

"What's SNS?" Kogoro Mouri asked, his eyes filled with confusion. "And who is Sawakuri?"

“SNS is an interactive platform for people to communicate online,” said Sera Masumi.

"Sawakuri... could you be referring to the mystery writer Sawakuri Miku who just passed away last month?"

As a mystery novel enthusiast, Nanatsuki Koshimizu immediately thought of this character.

The woman with the rabbit teeth among the three nodded: "Yes, she was originally a friend we met on social media, but the person who invited us here today is Ms. Ze Li's brother."

The woman had barely finished speaking

"That's exactly right!"

A deep male voice came from outside the door.

A tall man carrying a backpack walked in from outside. He looked at the three women in front of him and gave them a cold smile.

The three middle-aged women found it strange.

"Mr. Ze Li?"

"What's going on?"

"Mr. Mori seems to have no idea about this at all."

"Of course, because..."

As the tall man finished speaking, he suddenly pulled a pistol from his pocket and fired it at the ceiling.

boom!

After the deafening gunfire.

The ceiling was charred, and brass cartridge cases were thrown and landed on the ground with a crisp sound.

Everyone present paled in shock.

"Because I didn't notify them from the beginning."

The man grinned mockingly, closing the office door as he aimed his gun at them, and said menacingly, "Now everyone take out your phones and put them on the table, then stand to the side."

Chapter 429: You shouldn't make witty remarks at a time like this!

Under the threat of the dark muzzle of a gun, everyone present did as the man instructed, taking out their phones and placing them on the table.

As Amuro Tooru prepared to walk to his desk with his phone, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The man's handling of the gun was not very skillful.

From the outside, there are no signs of forging.

It's very easy to control.

He was thinking this, but he didn't expect that Sera Masumi and Ran in front of him had already finished their conversation.

Using the act of putting down her phone as cover, Sera Masumi suddenly lunged forward and delivered a sweeping leg kick, knocking the unsuspecting man down in an instant. At the same moment, Ran seized the opportunity and kicked the gun out of the man's hand.

Sera Masumi immediately pounced on the man and restrained him.

however,

"If you don't stop, we'll all die together!"

The man who was pinned to the ground screamed menacingly.

Amuro Tooru's pupils contracted when he saw the detonator in his hand.

"stop it now!"

He immediately pulled Sera Masumi away.

Ze Lixun shakily got up, clutching his shoulders. He slowly unzipped his jacket, grinning coldly. "You really can't be careless at all. If I hadn't carried this thing with me beforehand, I would have really been in trouble here."

The jacket had a ring of detonators strapped to its underside.

Everyone present had a grim face.

"Your aura is too strong when it comes to attracting cases, Uncle Mori."

"Don't try to be witty at a time like this!"

Kogoro Mori, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, stared at the detonator in Isao Sawakuri's hand, fearing that the other party might accidentally press it.

Isao Sawakuri's target on this trip is Kogoro Mouri.

However, when he heard Lin Jiashu's voice, he smiled very happily.

"Ah, you're that even more amazing detective, Hayashi Yoshiki, right! I'm so glad you're here!"

"It's me, that's right. Do you need to see a detective for something? Or do you have some kind of conflict with those three ladies?"

Lin Jiashu, who had placed his phone on the table, looked at him and asked.

“Indeed, I need the detective’s help!” Sawakuri Isao said directly. “Listen carefully to what I’m about to say: My younger sister’s name is Sawakuri Miku. She’s a bestselling author who has won the Naoki Prize at a young age, but the police say she committed suicide by cutting her wrists at a hot spring inn in Gunma last month. However, I don’t believe she committed suicide at all. I believe she was murdered by one of the three women who went on the hot spring trip with her! And what I’ve brought should serve as evidence!”

As he was about to take something out, the landline at the Mori office suddenly rang.

This immediately made Sawakuri Isao's expression tense.

“It must be because of the gunshot just now,” Amuro Tooru said immediately. “If the call was attracted by the gunshot, ignoring it would only arouse suspicion, wouldn’t it?”

"Then go pick it up! Let me make this clear: if you dare say anything you shouldn't, I won't be so polite!"

"I understand."

Kogoro Mouri nodded solemnly.
