During this period.

On the first floor, there is a spacious living room with bright lighting.

Xiaolan sat on the far left side of the sofa, her hands resting on her legs, her head slightly lowered, looking at the cold floor anxiously.

Kudo Shinichi sat on the right side of Xiaolan, with his hands on his legs, looking with interest at the pink full-screen mobile phone held by Dongfang Haoyue on his right, which had mobile data traffic turned on and was displaying the battle screen of the Naruto game, until the next second.

Xiaolan gently grasped her legs together with both hands, turned her head to look at the locked double-opening copper door far to the left, and said worriedly:

"Why hasn't Dad come back yet..."

Upon hearing this, Kudo Shinichi turned to look at Xiaolan and said rationally:

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaolan, we didn't hear the second gunshot. Uncle Kogoro should be safe."

Xiaolan hasn't spoken yet.

"That's right~"

Dongfang Haoyue looked down at the game screen, deftly controlling the [Hyakuhao Sakura] in the game to bully the [Mangekyo Sharingan Uchiha Sasuke] controlled by the enemy, and agreed with Shinichi while doing two things at the same time:

"As long as the criminal doesn't use a pistol, Uncle Kogoro will definitely be able to defeat the criminal~"

The voice just fell.

Princess Mira sat on the right side of Dongfang Haoyue, with her hands on her legs, looking at Xiaolan in a friendly manner, and gently soothing her:

"Ran, we have already used the phone to ask Officer Megure to dispatch police. They will surely come as soon as possible to help Detective Maori catch the criminal."

"Well... that's what I said, but..."

Xiaolan nodded slightly, looked at Princess Mira with a little hesitation, and said embarrassedly:

"Mira, calling my father Detective Maori, isn't that a little strange..."

at the same time.

Kudo Shinichi listened leisurely to the conversation between Xiaolan and Princess Mira, and looked at the game screen with relish.

next second.

"That's true. Xiaolan's father is still an elder after all, and we have known each other for such a long time."

Princess Mira looked at Xiaolan with deep approval, spread her right hand in front of her chest, clenched her left fist and smashed it against her right palm, making a "pop!" sound, and smiled to seek approval:

"How about this, I will call Xiaolan's father Uncle Maori from now on, what do you think, Xiaolan~?"

"Hmm~!"

Xiaolan felt that she and Princess Mila were getting closer and closer. She nodded with a faint smile and unexpectedly remembered something. She looked down at Dongfang Haoyue who was still happily playing games and described it in a flattering manner:

"Haoyue seems to be very good at playing. He can always get a winning screen."

“Hahaha, awesome~~~!”

Dongfang Haoyue was so happy.

She quickly controlled the game's Baihao Sakura to defeat the last ninja of the enemy. She held the phone in front of her right face, with the screen facing Xiaolan. She turned to look at her, smiling happily and asking for praise:

"Look, Sister Xiaolan, I won again~~~!"

at the same time.

Kudo Shinichi turned to look at Xiaolan and thought carefully in his heart:

"Xiao Lan always advises Haoyue and I to study hard and play less games, why is she praising Haoyue for being good at playing games now?

I understand, Xiaolan wants Haoyue to admit that he has been secretly playing games for a long time, so that he will lose the opportunity to quibble! "

Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi raised his hands ready to go, and stared at Xiaolan with high vigilance but pretending to be calm.

Princess Mira really thought that Xiaolan was praising Haoyue, so she clasped her hands in front of her chest and looked at Xiaolan with a smile on her face.

next second.

"That's amazing~!"

Xiaolan smiled faintly, looked at Dongfang Haoyue with interest, and patiently said to Tuqiongbi:

"You must have played a lot, right?"

Dongfang Haoyue smiled as beautiful as a flower, and was about to answer bluntly, "Yes."

Kudo Shinichi's left hand crossed over the collar, accurately covering Haoyue's soft red lips, and his right hand grabbed her right wrist and pressed her right leg to hide the phone. He looked at Xiaolan cutely and explained with an innocent smile:

"Because Haoyue is a gaming genius, he is so amazing because he can quickly grasp the ability to win no matter what game he plays~"

"Hehe, Conan, do you think I'm easy to fool~?"

Xiaolan placed her right hand on her right leg, and her left hand across her chin, with her index finger pointed at Princess Mira's fair face. She smiled at Kudo Shinichi, whose hair stood on end, and said in a leisurely tone:

"You and Haoyue often go to Mira's house and borrow her phone to play games, right?"

"what......"

Kudo Shinichi had no words to refute, his hands shaking uncontrollably.

Dongfang Haoyue finally reacted, and looked at Xiaolan with cold sweat, thinking with fear:

"Luckily Shinichi was here, or I would be in danger... Come to think of it, Xiaolan repeatedly told us to study hard and play less games, but I totally forgot all that just now...!"

Thoughts are still lingering.

"Okay, Xiaolan, Haoyue and Conan don't come to my house often to play games, just occasionally, occasionally~"

Princess Mira skillfully took back her phone, turned off the screen and put it in the right pocket of her skirt. She looked at Xiaolan, who had a stern face, gracefully and comforted her softly with reason and emotion:

"It's okay for Haoyue and Conan to play games occasionally. I heard that their academic performance is among the best~!"

"Mira spoils them too much...!"

Xiaolan put her hands on her legs, generously let go of the extremely nervous Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, looked at Princess Mira helplessly, and asked meticulously on the surface:

"If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. Mira can't let Haoyue and Conan play games for long. You need to persuade them to learn the knowledge in the textbooks."

Actually...

Xiaolan added quietly in her heart:

"I'm not worried about Shinichi's study problems. It's mainly because of Haoyue. She's still young and needs to learn more knowledge!"

"Yes, yes, Xiaolan, don't worry~"

Princess Mira patted her chest gently and smiled as if bathed in the spring breeze.

"Well, I believe you, but then again..."

Xiaolan smiled trustingly, then belatedly remembered something. She turned sideways to look at Princess Mira, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and asked with three parts of curiosity and seven parts of embarrassment:

"Since Conan and Haoyue already know where you live, can I also go see your new home~?"

"Ah... no... no..."

Princess Mira panicked for a moment, covering her face with her left hand, grabbing her left wrist with her right hand, hesitatingly looking at Xiaolan who was puzzled, and mustered up the courage to apologize:

"I'm sorry, Xiaolan, my new home can't accommodate you for the time being."

Princess Mira patted her chest vigorously and swore resolutely:

"But I promise that sooner or later, you will know where I live!"

"Why does it feel so mysterious...?"

Xiaolan put her hands on her legs and looked at Princess Mira with a confused look on her face. But she stopped talking. She looked down at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, whose emotions had calmed down a little. Her cute face showed a subtle expression as if she hoped they would tell her where Mira lived.

Haoyue and Shinichi looked at each other, then raised their heads at the same time to look at Xiaolan, shrugged their shoulders helplessly, and spread out their red little hands.

Xiaolan pouted her red lips prettily, and her left hand crossed over her face and covered her white forehead in distress.

at the same time.

On the second floor, Katsue Furukawa's spacious bedroom is brightly lit.

Etsuko Furukawa wanted to break free from Koji Furukawa's restraints but was too tired. She had no choice but to give up struggling and took a step back.

Machida Azusa stood there, quietly watching Koji stop Etsuko from entering the bedroom from beginning to end.

Maori Kogoro turned and walked into the door, looking at everyone one by one, and explained skillfully:

"My two daughters must have called the police. Now please tell us where you were and what happened when the incident happened.

I suspect that there is an accomplice among you."

"What a joke!!"

Furukawa Koji turned around and looked at Maori Kogoro, clenched his fists and waved them to his waist, and argued a little excitedly:

"How could I possibly join hands with outsiders to kill my mother?"

"Don't get so excited. I'm just following the usual suspects of a famous detective. I don't really think you're a suspect."

Maori Kogoro pressed his hands down on his chest twice, calmly comforted him, and asked calmly:

"Now, please take turns to answer me...where were you and what were you doing at the time of the incident."

"Okay, you said so."

Furukawa Koji dropped his hands to his sides, looked at Maori Kogoro without caring, and told him everything:

"I was outside, trying to buy a present for my mother. Suddenly, I saw a flash of bluish-white light in her bedroom and heard gunshots, so I ran back immediately."

"Um......"

Maori Kogoro held his chin with the base of his right hand, and pondered for a moment, deciding not to interrogate Furukawa Etsuko for the time being. He turned to look at Machida Azusa who had walked to her left, and calmly gestured:

"Miss Azusa, it's your turn now."

"Ms. Etsuko and I came to the door and wanted to ask Ms. Katsue to come downstairs to see you."

Machida Azusa lowered her head slightly and looked at the floor. Her right hand held the white coat hanging on her lower abdomen. Her left hand was loosely clenched, and her index finger joint gently supported her small and exquisite chin. She recalled with lingering fear:

"But Ms. Etsuko accidentally dropped her handkerchief on the ground, and when she squatted down to pick it up, a gunshot was heard from inside the door."
