Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

Matsumoto Akira's eyes were always on Conan and Maori Kogoro, while he also did not forget to pay attention to the surroundings of Daidoji Tomoyo who was dressed in a formal attire.

After all, inviting Conan to your home for a party is like inviting Conan to your home to film an episode of a TV series!

Although he felt that such a thing was unlikely to happen, Matsumoto Akira still had to pay attention to the safety of Tomoyo Daidoji.

Tomoyo Daidoji also noticed that Matsumoto Akira was looking at her from time to time, so she smiled and waved gently at Matsumoto Akira.

She waved with very small movements. After all, she still had to maintain her ladylike image, and she was not the lively and active type.

Matsumoto Akira nodded to Daidoji Tomoyo, and at this moment, Kinomoto Sakura also came to Matsumoto Akira's side.

"Uncle Maori! Let me introduce you, this is Sakura Kinomoto, and she's also a good friend of Miss Daidoji Tomoyo!"

After greeting each other, Matsumoto Akira introduced Sakura Kinomoto to Kogoro Mori.

"Oh, hello, cute little sister!"

Kogoro Mori turned his head to look at Matsumoto Akira, then greeted Sakura Kinomoto.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Maori Kogoro finished speaking, he immediately uttered a painful groan. Kisaki Eri walked out from behind Maori Kogoro.

"Oh my, look at how old you are, and you still have the nerve to call someone little sister!"

Eri Kisaki rolled her eyes at her husband, then squatted down and looked at Sakura Kinomoto with a smile.

"I know your mother, but it's a pity that I didn't get to hug you when you were a child!"

Sakura Kinomoto opened her eyes wide, her eyes full of curiosity, and she stared at Kisaki Eri intently.

"Auntie, have you seen my mother?"

"Of course, your mother was a famous person back then! I don't know how many people liked your mother at that time!"

Kisaki Eri smiled and gently touched Sakura Kinomoto's cheek.

"She looks exactly like your mother! Except for her hair, she looks just like your father!"

Sakura Kinomoto's features and overall face are exactly the same as her mother's, except for her mother Nadeshiko Kinomoto's dark grey hair color.

It is still easy for people to distinguish between the mother and daughter. Otherwise, it would be easy for people to have an illusion, as if they were seeing the childhood appearance of Nadeshiko Kinomoto.

"Are they really that similar? My parents have said so before, but when I compare them myself, I don't think they are that similar~"

Facing an adult who might be her mother's acquaintance, Sakura Kinomoto was still a little shy, but she was also very curious whether she really looked that much like her mother.

"Of course you do. But rather than saying that you look like your mother, it's more normal for you to look like both of them, as you are a combination of your father and mother!"

Kisaki Eri's eyes moved slightly, as if she remembered something, but in the end she slowly stopped talking about Sakura Kinomoto's mother.

After all, Sakura Kinomoto's mother had passed away long ago, unlike herself who was separated from her husband.

As a daughter, Mao Lilan at least still has expectations for the family reunion, but if it were the Kinomoto family——

Sakura Kinomoto nodded happily repeatedly, she did not notice the point that Kisaki Eri avoided.

She was just very happy because Kisaki Eri said that. It was not until Kisaki Eri finished speaking and stood up that she turned to look at Matsumoto Akira as if she remembered something.

"Oh, right, Matsumoto-san! Xiao Ke said he wants to see you for something, and he's in the living room! He wants you to go over there for now!"

"Is that so? Well, you guys continue chatting while I go see what's going on over there!"

Matsumoto Akira nodded, turned around and walked towards the meeting room where Xiaoke was.

"Who is Xiao Ke?"

Kisaki Eri looked puzzled and asked curiously. At this time, Mouri Kogoro, who was supposed to stay next to them, had already gone somewhere else to socialize and eat and drink.

"Xiao Ke is a friend who came here with me, and he also knows Brother Matsumoto!"

Sakura Kinomoto spoke quickly and did not give Ran Mouri any chance to interrupt. After all, if Ran Mouri could not think of it for a moment, she might still reveal her flaws.

"That's right, Xiao Ke came here with Xiao Ying! We originally came here together to look for Tomoyo. If it weren't for this party, we might have already gone back!"

Xiaolan smiled and introduced the afternoon's activities to her mother, omitting a large part of the irrelevant details.

Matsumoto Akira came to the meeting room and quietly closed the door behind him. After making sure that no one was pushing the door, he tiptoed inside.

After seeing that it was Matsumoto Akira coming in, Xiao Ke carefully flew down from the lamp above.

For safety reasons, he always hid above the lamp. Normally, no one would look up, and even if they did, they would probably not be able to see him.

If he stayed on the sofa or somewhere else in the seat, Xiao Ke doubted whether some of the naughty kids who came with the party would torment him.

After the previous painful lesson, Xiaoke will no longer hide casually.

"Hurry up and tell me, what do you want to do by calling me here?"

Matsumoto Akira came to the sofa and slowly sat down on it. It must be said that even if it was just an ordinary sofa used to entertain guests, its quality was better than the ones specially bought for his own home.

Rich people are different. Although they are not short of money, they are not used to spending money like this.

"Let's not talk about anything else for now. I actually noticed some traces of the Clow Cards' activity before! I wanted to ask Sakura to deal with it, but the aura of the Clow Cards suddenly disappeared!"

Xiaoke flew in front of Matsumoto Akira, spread his hands helplessly, and slowly told him about his experience.

"The Clow Cards matter is tricky. I'll keep an eye on it, but right now I have to focus on the safety of Tomoyo and the others!"

Matsumoto Akira shook his head. The safety of Sakura and Tomoyo was obviously more important than the Clow Cards.

"What? You didn't really believe that rumor, did you? I didn't sense any magic from that uncle and the kid. Not just magic, but not even any superpowers!"

Xiaoke looked at Matsumoto Akira curiously. He didn't think what they had said before was true.

After all, there is really no aura of supernatural power on Kogoro Mouri and Conan. No matter how powerful a master is, if he wants to influence the people around him and cause murder, his aura will definitely be exposed.

As for a situation like mine, who grew up with Clow Reed and had his guardian beast taught many times by him but couldn't see it, Xiao Ke didn't think it existed.

I have been to many places in this world, including those that were full of mystery since ancient times, and there are indeed things that even Clow Reed cannot solve.

But being unable to solve the problem is one thing. Even I can sense the danger or hidden atmosphere in those places.

With his well-trained eyesight, Xiao Keke absolutely did not believe that there was such a real aura and nothing that gave away anything appeared before his eyes.

He was completely unable to detect anything unusual about Kogoro Mouri and Conan.

As if to refute Xiaoke's idea, as soon as Xiaoke finished speaking, a scream came from outside, followed by the noise of a group of people.

"Ah ah ah ah ah----!!!"

Matsumoto Akira waited until the screams died down before releasing his ears.

I have to admit, some people's screams are really scary. I am in this conference room, but I can still be affected by the soundproofing material! ?

"See, I said - forget it, I'll go out and take a look at the situation first!"

While Xiaoke was looking shocked, Matsumoto Akira waved his hand gently at him, smiled, then turned and walked out of the meeting room.

After Matsumoto Akira went out, Xiao Ke looked at the door slowly closing, gradually restrained his expression, and began to seriously think about the connection.

Now Xiaoke is sure that there must be some kind of power influencing the detective uncle and the little kid.

Moreover, even a guardian beast like himself, who had followed Clow Reed for a long time and was knowledgeable, was completely unable to detect this power.

"Really? Why do I feel like this world is becoming more and more dangerous?"

Where are you, Kuromido? Are you really dead? I miss you so much, please win the resurrection match!

Xiao Ke shook his head and climbed back to the lamp above to hide his body.

Matsumoto Akira jogged all the way to the crime scene.

At this time, people had already formed a circle, and it was impossible to get in. However, due to Maori Kogoro's special status, no one dared to forcefully intervene.

"What happened?"

Because there were so many people around, Matsumoto Akira couldn't ask Conan directly, otherwise he could get more relevant information from Conan.

Fortunately, because of her father and Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan is quite experienced in how to report relevant information.

According to Xiaolan's description, the victim was a young lady who came with her family.

Everything was fine, but for some unknown reason, he suddenly covered his heart in pain and fell to the ground.

The initial diagnosis was that it was caused by a heart disease, but subsequent news revealed that the other party was in good health and had no heart disease, so this possibility was ruled out.

The exact cause of death is unknown, but it is certain that the person is dead.

Because after the young lady fell down, she only cried for a moment and then she was completely dead.

"Did you call the police?"

Matsumoto Akira glanced at Kogoro Mori who was examining the corpse, then turned to look at Xiaolan.

"I've just called the police! Officer Megure said they will be here soon!" Ran Mouri pointed to the phone in her hand.

Inspector Megure set up a special communication directory for them. Every time a case was reported, he would immediately send someone or come in person to check the situation. He would never regard the Mori family's report as a prank.

After all, the number of cases this family has encountered has been increasing in recent times, and there is nothing wrong with paying a little more attention to this. The people above even praised him for being very serious about his work.
