Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

Chapter 556 Kudo Shinichi's Confession

A trace of doubt arose in everyone's heart, except for Ohba Satoru, who stared at Xingchen with gritted teeth.

He spoke slowly and mysteriously: "I found a clue in Ms. Tatsumi's testimony. You said that this pearl necklace matches your pink pearl earrings and they match perfectly."

"How do you know her earrings are pink?" Xingchen asked with a smile on his face.

This was the final blow he carefully prepared for Ohba Satoru.

"Of course..." Ohba Satoru slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on Miss Tatsumi's ear.

In an instant, his pupils contracted and his expression became anxious.

"Pearls will only show their true color under bright light. In such a dim environment, pearls will only appear gray." Xingchen explained slowly.

"And, according to Miss Tatsumi, she bought this earring before meeting you, so you didn't see the specific color of this earring in advance." Xingchen said here, pressed the elevator door button, and continued: "Then there is only one possibility, you know the color of the earring."

The bright light from the elevator shone on the earring, revealing its original color.

Xingchen stared at Ohba Satoru and continued, "Then may I ask, why did you open the elevator door at that time?"

Ohba Satoru widened his eyes and fell into a long silence.

On the other side, Kudo Shinichi clutched the clothes in front of his chest tightly, already sensing something bad was wrong.

He was silent for a long time. Perhaps now was the time to tell Mao Lilan the truth.

"Ran, I... like you." Sweat oozes from Kudo Shinichi's forehead. He looks at Mouri Ran with nervous eyes and speaks slowly.

Mao Lilan's cheeks turned red instantly, and she opened her red lips involuntarily, looking at the man in front of her in surprise.

The waitress's words echoed in her mind.

"I once heard the wine taster here talk about a legendary couple. I think you are very similar to them. They were also sitting at this table at the time."

"Although this story happened 20 years ago, that person was also a detective 20 years ago."

"He came back after he sorted it out and just yelled it out here."

"You'd better be mentally prepared."

"Hey, what did he yell at that time?"

"A proposal, of course."

In Mao Lilan's mind, she kept repeating what Kudo Shinichi had just said, which seemed to be exactly the same as what the waiter said.

Jingle bell bell~!

Suddenly, the ringing of a phone broke the silence.

Kudo Shinichi endured the bone-melting pain in his chest. A faint white mist began to emerge from his back. He wanted to wait for Mouri Ran's answer, but he saw the caller on his phone.

He looked at Mao Lilan with apology in his eyes and said, "Sorry, Ran. I have a call." Then he ran out with the phone in his hand.

He actually wanted to hold on until Mouri Ran's answer, but his body couldn't hold on any longer.

However, Mao Lilan seemed stunned and watched Kudo Shinichi leave.

Kudo Shinichi picked up the phone and heard Haibara Ai's voice on the other end.

……

Ohba Satoru eventually pleaded guilty, after all, he could not give a reasonable explanation as to why he opened the elevator door.

His reason was that he wanted to avenge his father.

Because twenty years ago, President Tatsumi set a trap and deliberately changed the merger into a takeover.

This led to his father, the vice president, committing suicide. His father had faked signs of homicide when he committed suicide.

But it was discovered by one person, Yusaku Kudo.

Unexpectedly, Ohba Satoru suffered the same fate and was discovered by the famous detective.

Inspector Megure also remembered the case of that year, and then invited Xingchen to listen to the criminal's confession.

Xingchen refused Inspector Megure's invitation on the grounds that she was still having dinner with her sister.

Officer Megure looked at Xingchen's departing back and complained, "Just like Kudo and the others, he has no interest in the follow-up of the case."

"Perhaps famous detectives all have some unique personalities." Officer Kuroba said.

"That's true." This reminded Inspector Megure of Kogoro Mori, and he nodded in agreement.

Ding bell~!

Xingchen took out the temporary mobile phone borrowed from Dr. Agasa from his pocket, wondering who would call.

"Hello, how are you?" Xingchen said after answering the phone.

Hearing the content of the call, Xingchen frowned and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Huh?"

Ten minutes later, in the toilet.

Kudo Shinichi... no... he has become Conan. He looked at his clothes, raised his eyebrows, and wondered, how should he leave this place?

Should I go out wearing this outfit? If Mao Lilan sees me, I will be exposed immediately.

Where is the foreign aid that Huihara mentioned?

When Conan thought of this, he heard a loud “Crash!”

A small blue suit fell from the gap above the toilet and hit Conan in the face.

"This is..." Conan muttered to himself as he took the clothes off his face.

"Great Detective, I'm here to bring you some clothes." Xingchen knocked on the door and said.

"Chen, thank you." Conan said happily. It turned out that the foreign aid mentioned was Chen. He thought Xingchen was still reasoning.

"You're welcome." Xingchen smiled faintly and said, "By the way, I heard from Huiyuan Ai that you confessed to Xiaolan."

"...How did you know so quickly?" Conan had already changed into his familiar little suit and walked out with the clothes in his hands, exclaiming.

Xingchen patted Conan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Ai saw the whole process from not far away. By the way, the doctor and uncle are waiting downstairs."

"Hey, uncle is here too?" Conan blinked and asked in confusion.

"Of course. I heard that you were dating Mao Lilan, so I rushed here without stopping." Xingchen said to Conan with a smile.

Conan was embarrassed and thought, maybe my uncle is afraid of something unexpected happening.

Just as he thought, in the parking lot downstairs.

Maori Kogoro sat in the driver's seat, looking at the time on his watch with a serious expression, scratching his head with his other hand, "Damn it, that little brat went up there to get information first."

"Now I have to wait for him here for an hour and a half, where is he?"

"Why don't I just go up and ask, no, that would be too bad."

"Haha..." Dr. Agasa parked the car not far away and stared at Kogoro Mouri.

Because when they came here, Xingchen discovered that Kogoro Maori had been secretly following Ran Maori and the others all the way.

So he asked Haibara Ai to pretend to be Conan's voice and call Mouri Kogoro.

He said that he would go with Professor Agasa in his car, and asked Kogoro Mouri to be patient.

Because once Kogoro Mori goes up, he will definitely ruin the plans of Ran Mori and the others.

So he found an excuse, for example, Conan went up to find out the news first, and then immediately informed Mouri Kogoro after getting the specific news.

Kogoro Mouri felt that it would be inappropriate for him to go up like that, so he agreed to Conan's suggestion.

However, Kogoro Mouri had wanted to rush forward several times, but was persuaded by Professor Agasa every time.
