Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

Inspector Megure arrived very quickly.

The case was solved very quickly.

After all, Ichikawa Kazue's bag still contained the syringe and leftover medicine bottle from when she injected muscle relaxant into the wine bottle.

Soon, Takagi and Sato, along with other police officers, took Ichikawa Kazue away.

Inspector Megure stayed behind to lead the cleanup efforts.

Seeing that Conan seemed lost in thought, Ran leaned closer and whispered, "What's wrong, Conan? Is something the problem?"

Conan nodded and told Ran and Kazuma Kudo what had happened: he had discovered someone entering the warehouse, peeked through the keyhole at Ichikawa Kazushige injecting drugs, and then been drugged from behind with a handkerchief containing ether.

"So, who is the person who drugged me? And what is their purpose?"

Kudo Kazuma chuckled: "I don't know who drugged you, but I do know you were attacked from behind again... How many times has this happened? I should really give you a good whack from behind every now and then so you can practice your back defense."

Conan looked embarrassed upon hearing this, coughed twice, and didn't dare to say anything.

Ran patted Conan's head, then pondered for a moment before sighing, "Judging from Mizue's attitude, perhaps she sensed her sister's intentions and was afraid that you, Conan, would hinder Miss Ichijo's actions, so she..."

The thought that both sisters harbored malicious intentions towards their father made her unable to bring herself to say it.

As the officers carried the body away, a key fell off the body.

Conan picked up the key and asked the butler, only to find out that it was the key to the warehouse, and that Kotaro Ichikawa usually didn't carry the warehouse key with him.

Conan frowned—could it be that the one who drugged him from behind and locked him in the warehouse was actually Kotaro Ichikawa?

Did he know that his eldest daughter had poisoned him and that he still drank the wine?

To borrow a phrase from Kazuma—what kind of crazy move is this?

Unable to figure it out, he simply told Kudo Kazuma and Ran about his doubts.

You have to admit that Kazuma Kudo's thinking is truly unconventional.

He thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that the old man didn't drink the wine, but pretended to be dead after falling out? He can spend two million to hire an old man to help him observe his two daughters, so why can't he test the law by faking his death to observe his daughters' reactions?"

Conan was shocked: "That actually makes some sense... But if he didn't drink that glass of wine, how did he die? The doctor clearly said before that his condition wasn't serious enough to kill him from just one glass of wine or a fall..."

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "Assuming the old man's fall was a fake death, then whoever is closest to him after he fakes his death will be the easiest to kill him."

This is not irresponsible speculation.

After all, Kotaro Ichikawa's spirit is trying to cause trouble for the doctor...

As they were talking, Xiaolan suddenly let out a short scream.

Conan rushed to Ran's side: "Ran! What's wrong?"

Ran pointed to the photo of Kotaro Ichikawa on the wall, a little nervously saying, "The photo... the eyes in the photo are actually glowing..."

Conan and Kazuma Kudo observed it closely and discovered that the so-called glowing light was actually a miniature surveillance camera.

Following the line extending from behind the photo, they quickly discovered the surveillance video in the second-floor lounge.

The three carefully reviewed the surveillance footage of Chairman Ichikawa's death and finally confirmed that, just as Kudo Kazuma had said, Ichikawa Kotaro had poured the glass of wine into a nearby flowerpot and then faked his death to deceive his daughter.

The person who actually killed Kotaro Ichikawa was his attending physician, who injected him with a muscle relaxant while he was feigning death.

High school detective Ran Mouri immediately stepped in and, using the surveillance video, quickly explained the truth of the case and found the real culprit.

After the doctor's murder was exposed, he stated that he did it for revenge, and now that he had successfully avenged himself, he was willing to be taken away.

Ichikawa Ichiju, who attempted murder, will likely also serve time in prison.

As for Mizue Ichikawa, she originally thought she could take over everything in the Ichikawa family, but the butler told her that Kotaro Ichikawa had already made a will, and that in case of any unforeseen circumstances, he would donate all his estate.

Mizue Ichikawa was sued by the board of directors for mishandling company stock, and as her father said, she would not be able to get her share of the reserved assets.

Looking at this family of three, all villains, Kudo Kazuma tilted his head and offered her "heartwarming comfort": "Ms. Ichikawa, at least you still have this villa, and there are quite a few fine wines in the warehouse, which can be sold for a lot of money."

That night, Ichikawa Mizue sneaked into their family's underground warehouse.

Moments later, with a loud "boom," a large crater was blasted into the Ichikawa family villa, centered around the warehouse...

In the shadows outside the villa, Kudo Kazuma, expressionless, turned and vanished without a trace.

Two days later, Conan called Kazuma Kudo and said that the Mori family was having dinner at a French restaurant called "Flowers," and asked if Kazuma Kudo wanted to come.

"Are you kidding me?" Kudo Kazuma was speechless. "You're their son-in-law, not me."

"Besides, isn't this another thing that Ran is trying to set up with her parents? When Uncle and Aunt Eri are reminiscing about their sweet past, and you and Ran are dreaming about your future sweet life, am I supposed to go and eat dog food? No way!"

"Hehe..." Conan on the other end of the phone was clearly delighted by his younger brother's words about "son-in-law" and "looking forward to a sweet future life," and couldn't help but chuckle foolishly, his tone becoming ethereal.

"Okay~ If you don't want to come, fine~ It's just that Lan saw how well Mom and Dad got along before, and started thinking about letting Aunt Eri come home to live... I was too embarrassed to say that Mom came back this time because she was angry."

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "You and Ran, remember to work hard and find a way to get Aunt Eri home as soon as possible. As for me, I'm going abroad on a business trip in a couple of days. After I finish my business, I'll relax for a few days and then come back. Don't call me if there's nothing else."

He had just received a Bond message from Vermouth before Conan called.

【Little Ichima, I've bought your ticket for tomorrow morning at 9 AM at New Tokyo Airport. We're flying to England to do a mission. After you finish the mission, you can do whatever you want there!】

It wasn't until they arrived in London and settled into a hotel arranged by the organization that Kudo Kazuma sneaked into Vermouth's room at night.

"Hey sis, it's gotten to this point, shouldn't you tell me the objective of this mission?"

Although he had guessed it to some extent.

Vermouth stubbed out her cigarette and pinched Kudo Kazuma's cheek: "Don't blame me for keeping this a secret until now. After all, the objective of this mission is quite important, and I've been preparing for it for a long time."

Kudo Kazuma nodded: "I understand. It was a mission that made you slack off for a long time, sister."

Belmode: "..."

The fingers that were still pinching Kudo Kazuma's face immediately changed from squeezing to pinching.

"Hey... it hurts!"

Kudo Kazuma dodged Vermouth's clutches: "Then who exactly is the mission target? We have a mission tomorrow, and I still don't know. Are you just bringing me here to play?"

Vermouth chuckled softly: "The target of this mission is MI6 agent Mary Akai, the wife of Tsutomu Akai, and the mother of Shuichi Akai."

"I spent a long time playing the role of Tsutomu Akai wandering around London, and this time I finally managed to lure Mary Akai into the trap."

Kudo Kazuma's expression suddenly lit up.

Does that mean he's going to see the famous scene of Bayonetta feeding him medicine with her mouth?
