Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

A week has passed since the incident with Professor Agasa's plate.

Kogoro Mori, disguised as a bearded foreigner, is in a dim room.

The searchlight in the room suddenly illuminated Kogoro Mouri's face, causing him to unconsciously use his hands to block the light of the searchlight.

A clearly disguised voice rang out in the room.

"Well, let's decide on your name now, Mr. Moustache, how about this name?"

Maori Kogoro said in a deep voice: "Is that what Hu Zi meant? What about you? Should I call you Boss?"

"The other members call me Mr. Head."

Maori Kogoro asked seriously: "May I ask Mr. Brain first, have I passed the test to join the group?"

"I have high expectations of you, so I'll leave everything to you, Mr. Beard."

After leaving, Kogoro Mouri came to an empty alley on the street.

Maori Kogoro called Inspector Megure and said, "Yes, I have successfully infiltrated the organization as an undercover agent. This way, the robber group will surely be destroyed in the hands of the famous detective Maori Kogoro!"

While Kogoro Mori was making a phone call, a figure approached him from behind.

The moment Kogoro Mori finished speaking, the person standing behind Kogoro Mori took out an electric baton and directly shocked Kogoro Mori unconscious.

The cell phone fell to the ground, and the voice of Inspector Megure could still be heard from it.

"Hey, hey! What's wrong with you, Maori brother? What happened? Hey! Answer me quickly, Maori brother!"

The man who stunned Maori Kogoro kicked his phone into the stinking ditch and sneered, "What a pity, detective!"

...

After waking up, Kogoro Mouri found himself in that room again.

The disguised voice sounded again.

"Are you finally awake? The daughter of the mansion is so cute."

A projector was showing pictures on the wall.

Every photo is of Mao Lilan.

"Xiao-Lan?!"

Maori Kogoro stood up suddenly and asked: "You guy! What do you want to do to Xiaolan?!"

"That depends on what you do."

Maori Kogoro said angrily: "Damn it, what are you asking for?"

"You are indeed a famous detective. You understood immediately. You went through so much trouble to disguise yourself and finally sneak into our organization. Then you should follow the original plan and act with my subordinates as a famous person who broke into the vault.

To be honest, one of my subordinates is the real murderer of my child. I hope you can rely on the reasoning ability of the famous detective Maori Kogoro to help me find the real murderer before dawn the day after tomorrow."

Maori Kogoro was puzzled and asked: "You, what did you say?"

"This is because the day after tomorrow's dawn is also the time we plan to leave Japan after completing the next job, so we have to catch him before then!"

Maori Kogoro asked Mr. Brain: "What are you going to do after you find out? Are you going to avenge your child?"

"This has nothing to do with you. However, if you refuse me, you will never have the chance to see your daughter again. If you don't receive my instruction to stop the action before the deadline, the killer I have arranged will take action to kill her!"

Maori Kogoro was extremely frustrated: "Did you let me join just for this? Damn it!"

"But I believe in you, Maori Kogoro. I really believe in your ability as a famous detective."

Kogoro Mouri felt strange when he heard this. A criminal said he believed in his abilities?

It sounded like sarcasm, but one could hear the seriousness in his tone.

...

The next day.

Inside the Mori Office.

"Conan, Mr. Kamiya, I don't know what happened to my dad. He hasn't come home yet. Even my phone can't be reached. It's been a whole day since yesterday!"

Anxious Mao Lilan paced back and forth.

Conan persuaded: "Sister Xiaolan, calm down a little. I remember uncle said he was going out to work this time, right?"

Mao Lilan nodded and said, "Yes, he said he was going to meet the client."

Kamiya Minatsuki took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hey, Ms. Riko, is Mr. Mori in your store? Oh, he's not here."

"Hey, Miss Yuki, is Uncle Mori at your place? No."

"Ms. Masashi..."

Kamiya Minatsuki made several phone calls, but the message he got every time was that the person was not there.

Kamiya Minetsuki shrugged and said, "It seems that he might actually go to meet a serious client."

"Uh..."

Ran Mouri and Conan looked at Minatsuki Kamiya speechlessly.

Kamiya Minatsuki thought that the client that Mao Lilan mentioned was an improper client? !

Conan asked Mao Lilan: "Didn't you ask him the other person's name or the meeting place?"

Mao Lilan said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I didn't ask either of them, but... now that I think about it, Dad seemed a little different at that time."

At that time, Kogoro Mori was just about to go out.

Ran Mouri asked if Kogoro Mouri would be back in time for dinner.

Kogoro Mori replied that he was not sure yet.

Because Kogoro Mouri likes to have a drink after work, Ran Mouri thought that this was what Kogoro Mouri was referring to when he was talking about uncertainty.

But immediately Maori Kogoro said solemnly: "But, I will definitely come back, I will definitely come back... So don't worry, I'm going out."

Conan and Kamiya Minatsuki had strange expressions on their faces.

It sounds like Kogoro Mori is about to do something dangerous.

Kamiya Minatsuki suddenly clapped his hands: "Got it!"

Kamiya Minatsuki made another call: "Hello, Ms. Hisano, was there any theme activity in your store yesterday? For example, a righteous detective versus a vicious female gangster?"

"What? Your store was closed down a month ago? It's really strange that you're still hiding outside now."

Kamiya Minatsuki hung up the phone, very puzzled.

Mao Lilan said helplessly: "Mr. Kamiya, I really don't think Dad is going to that kind of place this time. He is working seriously."

Conan asked: "Sister Xiaolan has already asked Officer Megure, right?"

Mao Lilan nodded: "I asked, although Officer Megure said he didn't know and said he would help look for him, but the tone of Officer Megure at the end was also very strange, saying 'Don't worry, he will definitely come back.'"

Conan's expression became serious. He walked to Kogoro Mouri's desk and began looking for clues.

Conan was certain that something must have happened to Kogoro Mouri, although he didn't know what it was, but it must have happened.

Kamiya Minatsuki also felt something was wrong.

Because it would be strange if Kogoro Mori didn't ask him to go out for fun, but if he was doing serious business, sometimes he would not be called because of the request of the commission.

It sounds like Kogoro Mouri might really go on a dangerous commission alone.
