"Natsume, you'd better not cook anymore in the future..." Kogoro Mori said with cracked lips and a hoarse and extremely weak voice.

"Ah, why?" Natsume Xing put away the bowl and asked with puzzled eyes.

"The dishes you cook are the same as Eri's. They are not edible at all!" Maori Kogoro cried out in torment.

Conan?_? (Nods frantically). . .

"Huh? You mean, the things that my brother Natsume and I made are hard for you to swallow?" Kisaki Eri showed a "virtuous wife" smile and approached Kogoro Mouri with a strange smile.

"Isn't it..." Conan and Maori Kogoro muttered softly. . .

"you!……"

"Hahaha..." Xiaolan looked at this scene, covered her mouth and laughed involuntarily.

Xiaolan's smile warmed the worried hearts of Kogoro Mori and Eri Kissing. Her cheerful heart strengthened their confidence.

Everyone laughed together. This was a good start.

Like a real home...

It was late at night and everyone went back to sleep. Conan was a little worried about Xiaolan's situation and wanted to go over to check on her.

I pushed open the door slightly, and saw Xiaolan sitting alone on a chair in the room, silently thinking. The moonlight from the window poured in, bringing a deep, sad feeling.

Conan watched secretly, feeling pain in his heart, and silently closed the door without any mercy.

Xiaolan, I will definitely make you remember me.

……

In the morning, the three little ones and Xiaoai came to visit Xiaolan.

"What are you doing?" Conan asked, looking at the three little ones standing in the sun with righteousness and majesty.

"We have decided to temporarily change the name of the Junior Detective Team to Sister Xiaolan's Guard!" The three little ones posed, and the background turned into the stage lights, focusing on the whole team...

"Huh? What are you guys up to..." Conan was speechless. What are these little brats doing?

"Because Officer Takagi said that Sister Xiaolan might be attacked by the criminal now, so we are here to protect Sister Xiaolan!" Ayumi emphasized.

Conan (=_=): This is the tight-lipped Takagi Wataru...

"Thank you so much. I feel much more at ease now." Xiaolan expressed her gratitude with a smile.

"Haha." The three little ones were very happy. Sister Xiaolan was still the best.

"Conan, I'm ready! Let's go investigate the case." Natsume Xing took a taxi and came to the Mouri Detective Agency.

"Hello, brother Natsume!" Conan looked at Natsume Hoshi in the car and greeted him.

Ayumi: "Conan is going to investigate the case again."

Yuan Tai: "How can this be possible?"

Mitsuhiko: "Yeah, Natsume-san is so partial, we also want to investigate the case."

These three naughty kids express their envy, jealousy and dissatisfaction openly and covertly. . . .

Natsume Hoshi(? ): These three brats who only make things worse are so annoying...

"What case are you investigating? Your duty is to stay and protect Xiaolan!" Natsume Xing said unhappily.

"Ah...oh okay." The three little ones said disappointedly.

"Hmph." Natsume Xing didn't like these three naughty kids. He ignored them, opened the car door and let Conan get in.

Conan: "You guys should protect Xiaolan well."

Three little ones: "Got it."

After Conan and Natsume Hoshi left in a taxi, the three little ones stayed there feeling disappointed, watching them go away unwillingly.

"Let me treat you to some cold drinks to thank you." Xiaolan said to the three little ones with a smile.

"Okay~" The three little ones' moods suddenly improved.

"Xiaolan, I'm here to see you." Yuanzi walked over holding a photo album.

"Hello, Miss Sonoko."

"Hello, little brats, I brought a photo album, hoping it can awaken Xiaolan's memory."

……

In the taxi, Natsume Xing took out the case information he had sorted out last night.

"Natsume-san is really amazing. Even though there isn't much intelligence, he still managed to deduce a lot of useful information." Conan looked at the document and praised it highly. This is what a detective looks like.

"Well, it's a pity that there is too little information and no substantial progress." Natsume Xing leaned against the window and said a little tiredly.

"In that case, let's take the initiative to collect information." Conan put down the document and smiled slightly.

"Oh, where should we investigate?" Natsume looked at Conan with interest, while Conan's glasses reflected the light and he smiled confidently.

"Let's go to Chief Odagiri's home and ask him in person about the cause of this incident."

……

At Director Odagiri's house, Natsume Hoshi came to pay a visit to Director Odagiri as a disciple of Mori Kogoro.

Led by the maid, Natsume and Conan came to a door.

The maid bowed her head slightly and said, "I'm sorry, the master is meeting a guest, please wait a moment."

Natsume Star, Conan was surprised: Meeting a guest? Who else is coming to visit? Could it be...

At this time, the door was opened, and Naliang walked out of the room and bowed slightly to Director Odagiri in the room.

"Since the director has expressed his opinion so strongly, we will not bother you any more. Goodbye."

Wang Guqi and Luo Yi shrugged without any emotion and followed Naliang out.

As a result, I ran into an acquaintance as soon as I went out.

"Naira?" "Natsume??"

“We can actually meet here!!”

Natsume and Naliang looked at each other, it seems that we have the same idea, to break into the enemy's base camp...

"Naliang, you..." Natsume Xing was about to ask something when Director Odagiri, who was sitting upright in the room, said coldly.

"If the guest outside is here to see me, please come in." An intimidating majesty emanated from the voice, making people tremble in their hearts.

Conan and Natsume were surprised. As expected of a high-ranking official, he was so impressive.

The two looked at each other, nodded affirmatively, and walked in.

The maid closed the door. Nai Liang, Wang Guqi and Luo Yi stood outside the door, looking indifferently at the closed door that guarded confidential intelligence.

Wang Guqi looked at the detective and asked, "Nailiang, shall we go back?"

Luo Yi had a blank expression on his face. He came here only to accompany Naliang. He didn't care about investigating the case. "Since Chief Odagiri is so old-fashioned and we can't get any information from him, let's go back."

Naliang smiled sharply, "Let's wait for them here. I believe that old-fashioned senior official will give in."

Inside the house, Natsume and Conan sat opposite Director Odagiri with serious eyes, trying their best to suppress their inner restlessness.

This may be like the fear that students feel when they see their teachers.

"You came to me today to inquire about the case just like the detective named Naliang just now." Director Odagiri said coldly with his arms folded.

"Yes, hello Chief Odagiri, my name is Natsume Hoshi, and I'm Detective Mori's apprentice." Natsume Hoshi said seriously.

"Huh, Maori Kogoro, the former outstanding police officer resigned and now he has become a famous detective."

"It's a waste of his talent." Director Odagiri opened his eyes slightly and finally looked at the two people who came forward.

"However, I will not give you the information about the case."

Natsume Xing's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled faintly, "Director Odagiri, this incident was caused by your request for a reinvestigation after Niinobo's case was defined as suicide."

"And the three police officers who were involved in the investigation were all attacked. Doesn't this show that the murderer intended to stop the investigation of the case?"

"Oh, that's indeed true. Then what? What do you want to say?" Director Odagiri looked at him coldly.

"Hmph, now, the two police officers from before have been brutally murdered, and Officer Sato has also been attacked and is in critical condition. Mr. Maori's daughter, Xiaolan, has also been implicated and has lost her memory. Now we really hope to quickly solve the case and bring the criminal to justice, so I came here to seek your help."

Natsume Xing spoke righteously and forcefully, saying that he really hoped to solve the case, but what they lacked now was intelligence, so they must have his help.

"Hmph, this is our police's job, so just stay out of it." Director Odagiri said in a cold voice.

"Chief Odagiri, I would like to ask, have you identified the suspect now?" Conan said with a sharp look in his eyes.

Chief Odagiri: "Ah? There were too many people attending the wedding before, which means they are all suspects. Now we can only check a few people for the time being."

Conan: "Really? If we hand the case over to the police, how long will it take them to solve the case? After all, you don't even know who the suspect is."

Chief Odagiri opened his eyes slightly, exuding a little anger, but what the little boy said was not wrong, the police were still too slow.

However, how could the authority of the police be questioned by outsiders!

"Are you expressing the incompetence of the police?"

"No, I just want to say that if we work together, Mr. Maori, as a famous detective, will naturally find out things that the police haven't discovered yet. If we can work together, 1+1 will be greater than 2, and we can solve the case faster!"

"Besides, we are all victims of the case and have a common enemy." Conan smiled slightly. That smile was the confidence of a detective. That smile was the bargaining chip in the hands of a negotiator.

We all have a common enemy! This sentence silenced Director Odagiri.

Natsume Xing secretly gave Conan a thumbs up. Conan was really good. He broke through from another entry point and put the essence of the case on the common level of both parties.

In this way, Director Odagiri has to balance the situation on Kogoro Mori's side.

(Of course, this requires ability. If Maori Kogoro is an idiot, then these words are pure clown.)

"You are absolutely right. The current situation on the police side is exactly as you said. Both Officer Megure and I hope that the truth of the case will be revealed as soon as possible." Director Odagiri nodded slightly, but his serious demeanor remained unchanged.

"Okay, since you are determined to get to the bottom of the case, please share the police's investigation materials." Natsume Xing continued the request.

"Hmph." Director Odagiri snorted coldly and sat there quietly thinking, his eyes filled with hope of seeing through the dark clouds.

"Okay, I will hand over the investigation materials to you. I hope Mr. Mao Li can work together with us to solve the case as soon as possible."

After being persuaded, he finally gave in. Conan and Natsume were very excited. Maori Kogoro's name card was quite useful to the police.

Naliang, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, opened his eyes wide, they were really coming, awesome.

"Hey Naliang, stop lying on the door. Can you have some manners? The maid next to you wants to tell on you..." Wang Guqi said speechlessly.

The maid next to her had black lines all over her head, and her eyes were dark as if filled with resentment. . .

This Naliang is so embarrassing! Why should I investigate the case with him?

Soon, the door was opened and Natsume Xing walked out with a document bag. He bowed slightly to the cold Director Odagiri in the room and expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you very much for your help."

"Hmph, I'm just helping Kogoro Mori." Director Odagiri looked at them and waved his hand.

The door was closed, and the mission was successfully completed. It was time to move on to the next step, but now...

"Hey Natsume, I didn't expect you guys could actually convince that old-fashioned senior official, that's awesome." Naliang came over and chuckled.

Natsume Xing: "Forget the polite words, you want to investigate the case with us."

Naliang: "Of course, after all, we are all detectives who accepted Mr. Maori's commission."

"Oh, that's right, let's go."

Conan looked back again, shook his head, and quickly left with them.

……

In a coffee shop not far away, three detectives were looking through case files, some looking serious with doubts, and some smiling as I expected.

However, they have understood most of it, and it seems that the fog is about to be cleared.

"Have some coffee and take a break. It's almost noon." Wang Guqi brought two cups of coffee and threw one of them to Nailiang nonchalantly. . .

The coffee almost spilled down the middle of Naliang's pants... "Hey! Be careful!!"

Wang Guqi whistled nonchalantly. . .

"Here, they're yours." Luo Yi handed two cups of coffee to Natsume Xing and Conan.

"Thank you." The two nodded and took it. After taking a sip, their tired bodies and minds felt relieved.

"By the way, Natsume, why are you bringing a child to investigate a case? Although this child is quite smart." Luo Yi asked with narrowed eyes as he looked at Conan who was concentrating on looking at the information.

! ! ! Ah... Natsume and Conan were petrified instantly... Oops, this seems too ostentatious...

"My dream is to become a detective like Natsume-san when I grow up. That's why I always follow Natsume-san." Conan explained hesitantly.

"Ah, yes, yes, and this kid is smart and can always come up with good ideas, so let's take him along and give him some training..." Natsume Xing also said immediately.

Oops, I'm suspected. I hope I can get away with it.

Luo Yi: "Have you wanted to be a detective since you were a kid?"

Wang Guqi: "And that mature feeling from before..."

The two approached Conan, tilted their heads, and looked at him carefully. Conan was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat.

"He looks like Naliang when he was a kid, and he was also a very good detective kid..." Luo Yi and Wang Guqi came to the conclusion.

"Ah, why do you involve me..." Naliang was full of question marks.

"You two must have been cast from the same mold." "Yes, yes..."

. . Nailiang (;一_一): "Forget it, it's not important, let's investigate the case quickly."

Natsume and Conan breathed a sigh of relief, luckily they managed to fool him.

Natsume Xing secretly glanced at Conan and made a gesture secretly, "Don't speak later, otherwise you will be suspected again."

Conan nodded quickly.

"Okay, now we can draw a conclusion about the method the murderer used to attack Officer Sato."

"And one more thing is that we have finally figured out the murderer's motive for attacking the three police officers. It was most likely to cover up the fact that he killed Ninoho."

"But even so, who is the murderer, and what is his motive for killing Ninobo?" Naliang touched his chin. This was a key hurdle that had been bothering him. It seemed that there was no way to identify the murderer without knowing the motive.

"Maybe we can go to Ninobo's house to look for clues." Wang Guqi said while drinking coffee.

"That makes sense, Gu Qi, Luo Yi, let's set off without further delay." Naliang clapped his hands and said.

"Um...what if I don't want to go?" Wang Guqi said with a stern look.

"It's not up to you!!"

"Oh, stop pulling me!!! Coffee is going to spill on my pants!" Wang Guqi screamed miserably, while Luo Yi followed behind him indifferently.

. . . Natsume Star, Conan: Two funny Chinese living treasures. .

"They have their own ideas, Conan, we have to verify one thing as well."

"Yes, that's where Jinnoho worked before, Touto University Hospital."

The fog is about to lift, the light is about to shine, but the darkness hidden deep inside is about to slowly emerge...
