The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 246: Mori Kogoro's Fortune

"The horses have turned the fourth corner and are officially entering the final straight!"

"The one currently leading is..."

Kogoro Mouri was walking on Beika Street with his cell phone connected to a pair of earphones.

The Mori Detective Agency is not far from Dr. Agasa's house, with 5-chome and 2-chome only three blocks apart.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, he saw the familiar street intersection and the three-story building not far away.

Uncle Maori listened to the live horse racing broadcast on his headphones with great interest, while secretly looking forward to hearing the horse he bet on cross the finish line.

Walking in the shadows of dusk, he slowly walked towards his little home.

The coffee shop downstairs called "Pollo" closed at some point and it seemed that it had not been operating normally for some time.

Uncle Maori looked at it in surprise. There was no transfer advertisement posted on the glass door.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the rent paid during this period has not been reduced...

I don’t know what the owner of this coffee shop is thinking.

Uncle Maori touched his head, without thinking too much, and walked up the stairs.

He took the key from his pocket and opened the door of the office.

The light switch was on the wall on the right side of the door. Uncle Maori felt his way in the dark and pressed it casually.

Click.

The living room brightened up.

"Huh?! No one expected it, no one expected it! Just when No. 2 was only 50 meters away from the finish line, No. 7, who was one body length behind, suddenly exerted his strength!"

"Number two, who was originally in the leading position, suddenly lost the first place!"

"There are still thirty meters... twenty meters left. Can it overtake? Can it still explode!?"

“Can the load brought by leading the entire race still allow it to create miracles?”

Uncle Maori untied his tie, took off his coat and hung it on the rack behind the door.

He collapsed in front of the desk where he most often sat, put his legs on the corner of the desk in an ungraceful manner, and slowly let his mind go.

So, it's rare for Xiaolan to not be at home...

How about ordering some barbecue and having some drinks in the evening?

"An accident happened!"

"At the last moment, number seven's pace was disrupted for a moment, and number two, who was following closely behind him, had no idea what was happening and was tripped as a result!!"

"Such an accident actually happened. Number 4, who had been quietly following behind Number 2 and Number 7, seized the opportunity perfectly! The two body lengths behind originally became an advantage, and it did not disrupt its rhythm!!"

"Number 4 has overtaken us!"

"Let's cheer for number 4 who is the first to cross the finish line!"

"This is undoubtedly a victory of luck, but there is no doubt that in competition, luck and mentality are also a part that cannot be ignored. When a nearly miraculous opportunity appears in front of you, all you have to do is grab it!"

"The one who laughs last is the winner!!"

"..."

Uncle Maori took off his headphones and his face became serious.

No way……

He stood up suddenly, walked to the window and looked at the setting sun.

In this case, let's go to an izakaya at night.

The horse he bought was racehorse number four.

A veteran named "Destiny Horse".

……

"what?"

Judy put the phone to her ear, her expression very surprised: "Three cars are heading away from the Toriya Bridge?"

"Are you sure it's their car?"

The detective in charge of investigating the situation on the other end of the phone was also in a difficult situation: "Yes, one of them is a Porsche 356A, and the other two are a black Dodge Viper and a red Ford Mustang."

"Judging from the decisiveness of their departure, they may have given up on the woman riding the Harley motorcycle..."

"How is that possible?!" Judy's face suddenly turned ugly, and she quickly asked, "Which direction did they leave in?"

She looked at the car that Yasutere Domon was sitting in not far in front of the car she was driving, and couldn't figure out why this happened.

It’s clear that their target hasn’t even reached the bridge yet?

"They turned left at the intersection of Toriyacho 4-chome..."

Conan pondered, did he go to the direction of Haido Town...

wrong!

He suddenly realized that that direction not only led to Beido Town, but also further away was Beihua!

Judy's boss, James Black, was also trying to figure out why these people were leaving: "It's really strange. Are they planning to go back to Beihu Park where the previous operation failed? Is there any trace that hasn't been cleaned up?"

"No!"

Conan felt as if his heart was wrapped in ice.

"Their target is Mika! It's the Mori Detective Agency!"

"The bug has been discovered!!"

He felt a chill. The bug seemed to be functioning normally, and there were sounds of conversations among the organizers from time to time, but in fact, they had already turned their guns and pointed them at the uncle!

Gin is a terrible man!

Hearing this, Judy didn't say any more words. She turned the car around and drove towards Beika Town.

In the car that they followed all the way, the bodyguards sitting on both sides of Domon Yasuki saw this scene from the rearview mirror and suddenly asked, "What's going on with the car behind?"

Another bodyguard also noticed it: "I was following you from the beginning. I always thought it was suspicious. Fortunately, you took the initiative to drive away."

Domon Yasuki answered a call, covered the receiver, and whispered to the two, "Don't worry about it. If you keep your nerves tense, you won't be able to react in time when an emergency occurs."

Then he picked up the phone again.

After a long time, the call ended.

Domon Yasuteru's face darkened.

"Bad news..."

……

"I asked Kazami to contact Domon Yasuteru."

Morofushi Jingguang pulled the sunscreen and watched the FBI agents take Mizunashi Rena into the car and send her to the hospital.

"Is this what you want us to see? Mr. idea."

Jinpei Matsuda was holding a cigarette, the light from his cell phone screen reflected in his sunglasses.

"Hagi has deleted the surveillance video, but where did that Kudo Shinichi get the information?"

"To be able to follow so closely, maybe one of the organization's members has his bug and transmitter on him." Zhu Fujingguang thought of the boy's action of kicking the sprinkler to pieces in Beihu Park, and he broke into a sweat for no reason.

This guy is faster than the police...

"It's very likely that she was the woman they just took away. Hagi sent me the information. Rena Mizunashi, a well-known host of Nichimi TV, commissioned Kogoro Mori to investigate the incident through her good friend Yoko Okino. It happened this morning."

"Kudo Shinichi must have discovered something was wrong with her through close contact at that time, and left a trick on her."

Jinpei Matsuda couldn't help but be amazed. His initial impression of this kid was that he was a reckless little brat, but his impression of him was constantly refreshed afterwards.

Especially the one we met at Tokyo Tower last time, I almost pulled his vest off.
