I was in Conan, and after picking up Xiao Ai, I was chased by Hongzi.

Monk Otoi Hirojo was confused and couldn't guess what he wanted to do.

Follow his footsteps to the deck.

Mouri Kogoro arched his left hand and lowered his head to light the cigarette.

Seeing Hiroshi Otoi coming, he took out a cigarette and threw it towards him.

"I'm very grateful to you for what happened this time. Without you, my only daughter might really have left me."

At this time, Mouri Kogoro completely lost his usual carefree look, and expressed his gratitude to Otoi Hiroshi seriously in the tone of Maori Ran's father.

"Your appearance really surprised me." Mouri Kogoro turned to face the sea.

Hiroshi Otoi came to him with a cigarette between his arms, his arms casually resting on the guardrail.

"It's my uncle's performance this time that is really surprising."

"Ok?"

"One can't help but feel that Mouri Kogoro, who likes smoking, betting on horses, playing mahjong, and looking at beautiful women, is a deliberate disguise."

Otoi Hiroshi smiled and spread his thumb and index finger to resemble the shape of a gun.

Then he raised the muzzle of the gun, squinted one eye, and pointed it at the sun.

"Pia!"

"What on earth do you want to say?!" Mouri Kogoro frowned slightly.

"The black organization, they always wear black at all times."

Otoi Hiroshi walked behind Mouri Kogoro with a cigarette in his mouth and his hands in his pockets.

"Every member inside has a codename after a wine name. They have an excellent intelligence network and have terrifying backgrounds and connections in all walks of life."

"They possess the world's top technology and force, as well as terrifying financial resources."

“Like a giant tree of decay, rooted in the darkness beneath the surface of society.”

"——They greedily absorb, corrode, and silently collapse the entire society from within."

Mouri Kogoro turned around and looked straight at him, frowning slightly.

"Uncle." Otoi Hiroshi's face came close to Mouri Kogoro's ear sinisterly, "You must have something to hide, right?"

"An outstanding student who graduated from Mihua University has become the light of the police force within a few years of joining the police force. He once set an exaggerated record of hitting the bullseye with 20 shots."

"I'm very curious. Why would such a person, who clearly has a bright future, suddenly resign from the Metropolitan Police Department and become a private detective?"

"He even separated from his loving wife for unknown reasons."

"Hahahaha——" Hiroshi Otoi patted him on the shoulder, "Why are you showing such an expression? It's very scary."

"I say that because we are the same kind of people."

He took out the ID in his pocket and handed it to Mouri Kogoro's hand.

Mouri Kogoro opened his ID and his pupils shrank sharply.

"Boy, this is no joke."

Otoi Hiroshi put away the smile on his face, "If it weren't for the fact that your behavior this time was too different from usual, I would have difficulty confirming it, senior."

"So, you are in that organization now..." Mouri Kogoro said solemnly.

"——Lark. This is my operation code name."

Mouri Kogoro was silent. He looked at the white bird flying in the sky and slowly clenched his fists.

"Be sure to pay attention to safety."

The deck was full of Coast Guard staff running back and forth. After experiencing the crisis of a shipwreck, the passengers of the Aphrodite had not yet recovered from the disaster.

"You guessed it right." Mouri Kogoro said.

"Just when I was young and full of energy and full of longing for the future."

"The superior called me over."

"And gave me a mission."

"——Use the name of detective to secretly detect information about the organization."

"What about the concubine's lawyer?" Otoi Hiroshi was a little confused, "Separation is a very strange point. A perfect family is the best disguise, right?"

"Eri is a smart and proud woman." A smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of Mouri Kogoro's lips.

"At first, she was very confused about my resignation, but gradually, she seemed to have guessed something."

"So, that night, she opened her mind to a showdown with me."

"However, I just got some clues about the organization at the time. No matter what she said, I couldn't admit it."

"Because once I admit that I have a mission, she will become my weakness."

"So," Otoi Hiroshi touched his head and showed a smirk, "that night, she left the house in a rage while you were going to the toilet."

"That's right..." Mouri Kogoro curled his lips in displeasure.

"To be honest." Hiroshi Otoi sighed with relief, "What I found most strange before was that you always accurately chose the wrong answer every time you took on a case."

Mouri Kogoro rolled his eyes, "I just think it will be easier to hide like that."

"Hey, hey -" Hiroshi Otoi put out his cigarette butt, "I used to have the same idea as you, until my teacher told me something."

"whats the matter?"

"If you step on the answer sheet, you won't get zero points." Hiroshi Otoi stretched, "You know, eternal mistakes are more terrifying than eternal right."

"Although what you said makes sense, don't treat your senior as an idiot." Mouri Kogoro hit Otoi Hiroshi on the head.

"Ah - you guy!" Hiroshi Otoi rubbed the big bulge on his head, "Why do you do it if you say it well?"

Mouri Kogoro rubbed his wrist and glanced at him, "This is a lesson for rudeness to my senior."

"I only started doing that after Conan appeared. That kid had a special status and was inexplicably involved in the whirlpool of the organization, so he used his tricks to cooperate."

"So, you already know Conan's identity." Otoi Hiroshi asked.

"Of course." Mouri Kogoro raised his hand.

After Hiroshi Otoi handed over the cigarette, he continued: "I've seen that kid since I was a kid. If I can't recognize him just wearing a pair of glasses, then I'm really old-sighted."

"And the little girl with brown hair next to you has also become smaller for some strange reason, right?"

"Well, it is."

"Don't you smoke?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

"Xiao Ai said that when we kiss, she doesn't want the smell of smoke in my mouth." Hiroshi Otoi waved his hand and prepared to go back to the infirmary to check the situation.

"You brat, be careful." Mouri Kogoro lit the cigarette, "What Officer Megure hates the most is your behavior."

"Yes--"

It could be heard from Otoi Hiroshi's tone that he had no intention of repenting at all.

He turned his back to Moori Kogoro and raised his right arm, "Uncle, you too."

"Hey, kid."

Otoi Hiroshi turned around.

Mouri Kogoro was smoking a cigarette, and the white smoke faintly obscured his cheeks.

"I want to entrust Lan to you."
