Matsumoto Akira looked in the direction of Mori Kogoro from afar. Although there was some distance, he could still vaguely see his figure, but he had not noticed it before.

At this time, Kogoro Mouri's face was flushed and he seemed to be a little tipsy, but at least he had not passed out drunk yet.

After making this judgment, Matsumoto Akira withdrew his gaze and started chatting with Xiaolan and Conan again.

Although there was no one else around except them, and Xiaolan, Conan and Suzuki Sonoko already knew that Haibara Ai was actually an adult, but after all, they were in a public banquet venue, so naturally it was inconvenient for everyone to talk about such a obscure topic.

"By the way, have you heard about it?" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly brought up a topic and everyone immediately looked at her.

"Have you heard some gossip again?" Conan blurted out while looking at Suzuki Sonoko.

"What do you mean you heard some gossip again!" Suzuki Sonoko supported her waist with one hand and stretched out the other hand to Conan, pulling his ear hard.

Due to the difference in size and strength, Conan was unable to resist and could only wail.

However, Suzuki Sonoko was also very sensible and let go of her hand before attracting the attention of people around her.

Conan was also very sensible and did not yell at this time.

"Why don't you tell me what you discovered first?" Mao Lilan waved her hand and pulled the two people who were glaring at each other apart.

"I heard that many people have seen ghosts wandering around the streets recently!"

"Who made up this urban legend? There has never been such a legend before, how come it suddenly appeared?!"

Conan rolled his eyes. If such an unprecedented thing suddenly appeared in public opinion, it could basically be concluded that it was a lie made up by others.

However, although Conan thought so, Matsumoto Akira became interested: "Can you tell me where the rumor came from?"

Facing Matsumoto Akira's curious gaze, Suzuki Sonoko proudly puffed out her chest and said confidently, "It started in Mika. It was said that someone saw the soul of the deceased at the crime scene! But I haven't seen it, and I don't know if it's true or not?"

As Suzuki Sonoko spoke, her confidence gradually disappeared, because she had never actually seen the legendary soul. She had heard similar rumors in the past, but if she had not seen the real thing, it was most likely fake.

"That should be true! Because I definitely saw a soul at the crime scene!"

The sudden sound startled everyone present, and they quickly turned to look.

I saw Dudao girl walking over gracefully and bowing to everyone: "I didn't expect to meet you all at this banquet, what a fate~"

Hearing this, Conan rolled his eyes: You are not destined to be with us, this fate is all forced by you.

Like Suzuki Sonoko, she would never attend such a gathering of small chaebols if she had not received the news in advance.

Suzuki Sonoko raised her eyebrows. She didn't care about fate, but was curious about what Busujima Yako said: "This should be a joke, really seeing the soul of the deceased at the crime scene--"

"No, this is true! I just don't know why, the souls of the dead have never appeared in front of the police, so they don't believe these things!" Busujima Yaji nodded first, and then finished the rest of the words in a complicated tone.

"But at least because the crime happened so suddenly, I saw the soul of the deceased with my own eyes before the police arrived—"

"However, after the police arrived, the soul became dimmer and dimmer until it disappeared from my sight. Perhaps it was affected by the police?"

"It could also be because of the number of people!" Matsumoto Akira analyzed seriously. This possibility has a greater impact on the police profession.

After all, when the living increase, the dead will naturally disappear.

"Oh, you actually believe what I said?" Busujima Yako looked at Matsumoto Akira in surprise. She had tentatively asked people around her before, and after getting a negative answer, she never told anyone in person again.

This time, she happened to hear what Matsumoto Akira and the others were talking about, so she couldn't help but blurt out and tell them about her previous experience.

"Let's not talk about anything else, but at least in this regard, my credibility is still trustworthy!" Matsumoto Akira smiled. In fact, he mainly believed that he would not encounter any danger.

Fortunately, it wasn't an evil ghost that would harm people upon seeing it, it was just a soul that simply appeared.

It looks like there won't be any major trouble this week.

Mao Lilan also nodded, "There are always many things in this world that cannot be explained, so I also choose to believe Miss Busujima Yako!"

There was no way. Mao Lilan had experienced scenes that subverted her worldview before. Tom and Jerry were fine, but the huge beast that appeared in front of them was no joke.

Besides, Matsumoto Akira has said before that he might encounter some strange things or have strange abilities every week.

"But let's put the other things aside for now. But today, perhaps we will have the opportunity to see with our own eyes whether this rumor is true or just groundless~"

Matsumoto Akira turned his head and looked at Yotsugu Rika and others, and Busujima Yako instantly understood what he meant.

"Are you saying that a murder might happen here today?" Busujima Yajima was full of suspicion and couldn't understand where Matsumoto Akira came from.

"Hmm? A murder might have happened here? I felt like the relationships here were pretty harmonious. Could it be because Conan is here?"

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Yoshii Reika with a puzzled look. Although that group of young talents were competing with each other around Yoshii Reika, they seemed quite harmonious on the surface and there seemed to be no major conflicts.

"Hey, hey, hey, do you have to mock me like this? I don't encounter a murder every time I go out!" Conan sighed helplessly. He has explained this kind of thing many times, but no one would listen.

"In a situation like this, it would be fine if it were a normal situation, but with Conan present, it is possible that it could turn into a murder case!"

Matsumoto Akira smiled and nodded, while Mao Li Ran beside him couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. At this time, she had not yet realized that Conan had completely turned into the "Grim Reaper Elementary School Student".

Busujima-chan looked at Conan deeply, and it was a long time before she looked away.

"Do we need to stop it?"

"We stop it? How do we stop it? How do we know who will suddenly go crazy and commit a crime? And what reason do we have to stop it? Just because of Conan?"

Matsumoto Akira glanced at Conan, and Conan immediately complained in his mind, you know this reason is not valid!
