Conan Moslin

After watching the police officers collect all the evidence and take away the suspects, the Maori father and daughter finally left the Beika Hotel with Conan, who was sent back by another team of police officers in a dejected manner.

As the sky gradually darkened, the moist and hot vapor after the rain rose up, making people feel suffocated.

Just like how Edogawa Conan feels at this moment.

Of course, he didn't gain much from this trip to the cocktail bar in the Dahei Building.

After all, with his small body, he couldn't even break into a bar, let alone...

Besides, he had no chance to get in.

Thinking of the black smoke filling the sky and the clues that were forced to be interrupted, Conan felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

This was the second time today that he was stopped outside the ruins, and he didn't even know if there were any casualties...

He ended up finding nothing.

"By the way, Xiaolan, why haven't I seen Hei Yu? Wasn't she still with you when I went to take the statement?"

It was not until he was sitting in a taxi that Kogoro Mouri, who had been offline the whole time, realized belatedly that Kuroba Kuriyasu had disappeared since she finished taking her own statement.

"Sister Li An had something urgent to do and left without even taking the statement." Xiaolan replied immediately.

"Oh, by the way...she gave me this before she left." She just remembered something and rummaged through the bag she had retrieved. "Here, she asked me to bring this to you. She bought it from the vending machine..."

Maori Kogoro took the thing from Xiaolan's hand and saw the words on the can in the dim light inside the car: "Is it tomato juice?"

"Well, Sister Li An said she didn't see any milk in the vending machine. This is the only thing left."

Ran Mouri took out another can of tomato juice and handed it to Conan.

"Conan, this is for you."

Conan took the drink and immediately came back to his senses: "Thank you, Xiaolan!"

"Dad, don't drink so much in the future..." Mao Lilan was actually very worried about Kogoro's physical condition, and brought up something she had been thinking about for a long time, "When we come back from your classmates' hot spring party, I will take you to the hospital for a full body check-up."

"You're right. I haven't been sleeping as soundly lately as before." Maori Kogoro was very touched by his daughter's concern and nodded. "It would be better to go to the hospital for a checkup."

Conan's expression became a little complicated.

I can’t sleep soundly...could it be because of his anesthetic injection?

Just when he was feeling guilty, he heard Uncle Maori ask in confusion, "That's not right? Xiaolan, I remember I didn't promise to take you to my class reunion?"

"But last time Aunt Yumi said she hoped to see me at the class reunion? And, didn't you take me there five years ago?" Xiaolan immediately retorted, "And... not only me, but Conan also wants to go, right?"

"Ah I……"

Although they did not get Conan's affirmation, the father and daughter no longer cared and started arguing about whether they could follow Kogoro to attend the hot spring class reunion.

"The office cannot be left unattended... What if there happens to be a big case?"

"If there really is a case, we can't handle it if you're out, right?"

"If you don't go, I can treat you to a nice meal to make up for it. How about that?"

"I don't want anything to eat! Just take us to the hot springs!"

"But in this case, I will have to bear the cost of the hot spring for three people..."

It only takes one sentence to go from negotiation to true face being revealed.

Kogoro Mouri immediately covered his mouth after blurting out his inner thoughts.

"That's the point, Dad!"

Mao Lilan was speechless.

"Hey, let's go, we're getting off!" When he found that the car had stopped, Maori Kogoro got out of the taxi as if escaping, and did not forget to take the tomato juice, "I still feel a little dizzy, I'm probably still drunk--"

He held his head and went upstairs in a seemingly crooked manner but with extremely agile movements, leaving behind only Mouri Ran who paid the taxi fare and Conan who stayed there waiting for her.

After the taxi left, the two people stood under the street lights at night and looked at each other.

The night breeze blew away the moisture and turned the cotton wool in the air into gauze.

"Dad, what a fool! I also played a part in catching the robber that day!" Mao Lilan seemed unhappy about her father's escape.

However, because of the little episode just now, Conan's mood was slightly better. Hearing this, he asked curiously: "Xiaolan, when did Uncle Maori mention the class reunion? Why don't I remember it?"

"It's what my father and I talked about last time before he broke his bones while catching the bank robber. So many things happened that day, of course I won't talk about it with you."

It was that day.

Conan has a good memory and quickly reacted to what happened that day.

He was not with Xiaolan and Uncle Maori that day because Professor Agasa took him and several children from the Junior Detective League to the film studio to watch the special effects performance of Godzilla.

They also unexpectedly encountered a murder case.

After solving the case under the identity of Dr. Agasa, Conan returned to the office, only to find that Uncle Maori had injured his foot while chasing the bank robber and was sent to the hospital.

To be more precise, during the pursuit of the criminal, after "Xiao Lan, who was accidentally held hostage," subdued the robber, the angry old father discovered that the robber, who had already fallen to the ground, had pulled out a gun...

And then?

What followed was a life-and-death struggle for the director of surgery at Mihua General Hospital.

"I remember that the gun in that person's hand didn't seem to be found at the scene..."

gun?

"Haven't found it yet?"

"I don't know either." Xiaolan just thought of this matter suddenly, and she didn't pay special attention to it, so she just guessed, "But I think that so much time has passed, the police officer should have found the gun and recovered it, right?"

"That's true." Conan nodded.

At this time, the lights in the office were on. Maori Kogoro, who had been upstairs for who knows how long, opened the window and leaned his head out of the window frame: "Xiaolan, Conan, why don't you two come up?"

"Coming, right now!"

"Wait a minute! Can you help me check if there is any mail in the mailbox?"

"Okay!" Mao Lilan responded, and said to Conan, "I heard that there will be a super grand fireworks display outside the hot spring hotel that night! So I must make dad agree to take the two of us!"

She quickly opened the mailbox.

There was only a letter tucked inside the pile of colorful coupons and promotional posters.

With the dim light from the stairs, Xiaolan could barely see the signature of the recipient.

"Huh? Conan, this letter seems to be for you."

"Oh well."

It can’t be another invitation to the birthday party of his classmates, right?

Conan took the letter.
