Kogoro Mouri was slightly taken aback by Eri Kisaki's scrutinizing gaze.

Then he scratched his head, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "What? Confess what?"

He was somewhat speechless: "You woman, you don't happen to want to know if I've made any money betting on horses lately, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki stood up, picked up her bag, and said, "I'm fine now."

"Mom, please stay for dinner tonight!"

"No thanks, I just finished lunch and I have things to do this afternoon."

Eri Kisaki looked down at Shinichi Kudo and said, "While I'm quite satisfied that you're willing to be honest with Ran, ...you dared to kiss Ran in public before even establishing a relationship. What Kogoro said isn't entirely without merit."

After saying that, she left the firm.

The three people outside the door quickly made way.

After Eri left, she turned to look at Kazuma Kudo and said, "Your idea was good. It's a good thing we had that veil, otherwise, I wouldn't have let that brat get away with it!"

Kazuma Kudo chuckled dryly and said, "That was just a sudden inspiration..."

Eri Kisaki didn't say anything more, nodded to the three of them, and left.

Just as Eri Kisaki's car drove away downstairs, Kogoro Mouri's roar echoed through the office: "You brat, don't run away!"

"How could I not run?"

"Oh, Daddy~"

The room immediately descended into chaos.

Knowing that he would have to get revenge on his father-in-law sooner or later, Shinichi Kudo was too embarrassed to run away, so he just paced back and forth in the office, with Kogoro Mouri following closely behind.

As someone who almost became a professional soccer player, Shinichi Kudo was naturally quite fast at running away. In addition, since Ran learned karate, his dodging skills have become more and more proficient. When he was running around the office, Kogoro Mouri couldn't catch him for a while.

Of course, Shinichi Kudo was also incredibly nervous—getting caught meant a beating, but if he couldn't get caught by Kogoro Mouri, he feared his father-in-law's anger would only grow. While dodging, he also had to weigh the options and think of a suitable way to save his life.

Just as Shinichi Kudo was dodging and trying to figure out a way, Ran was trying to stop Kogoro Mouri with a mix of amusement and exasperation, and Kazuma Kudo and the other two were having a great time watching the drama unfold, Kogoro Mouri finally spoke up.

"You brat! You didn't come over when we encountered a case today. I specifically asked Inspector Megure about the Nishitama Twin Towers bombing, but there's still no progress. Inspector Megure said that since there are no new leads, they're going to identify the person who committed suicide as the murderer."

"What?" Shinichi Kudo was stunned. He immediately forgot about dodging and said in a deep voice, "Even if that person was the one who planted the bomb, he is definitely not the mastermind!"

“I asked Inspector Megure at the time, and there was no SIM card in the damaged phone, nor on the person. It’s clear that although the phone was destroyed, the card was taken by someone else—and the person who took the card is probably the real mastermind.”

Kudo Kazuma, who was watching the commotion from outside the door, immediately widened his eyes.

Although he copied the SIM card and gave one to Gin and one to Morofushi Kagemitsu, that's not the point right now. The real issue is...

We're having a blast, bro!

Sure enough, Kogoro Mouri suddenly sneered, "That's what I think too. So, you brat, you're really familiar with the details back then..."

Shinichi Kudo's expression changed, and he quickly explained, "Uh, that's because Ran told me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kogoro Mouri grabbed his arm, and then his entire perspective spun around, and he was slammed hard onto the ground.

"Shinichi!" Ran rushed over and helped Shinichi Kudo, who was lying on the ground grimacing, to his feet.

Kogoro Mouri looked at his fist, then at Shinichi Kudo's head sitting on the ground, and commented sharply: "At this height, an over-the-shoulder throw is more convenient."

Outside the door, Hattori Heiji leaned back strategically: "This muddle-headed old man is actually quite senile..."

Kazuha Toyama frowned in confusion: "What? Didn't Uncle Mori beat up that Kudo guy? What do you mean by 'confused'? Heiji, what are you talking about?"

Hattori Heiji waved his hand and said with a smile, "Well, well, I didn't say anything, it's just that Kudo might be a little more unlucky in the future."

Knowing that there was still an unsuspecting Kazuha by his side, Hattori Heiji, having had his fill of the commotion, decided to return to Osaka first.

After seeing the two downstairs, Kudo Kazuma went back to continue watching the excitement.

However, there wasn't much excitement to be seen; it was just Shinichi Kudo and Ran explaining what they could.

Just as Eri Kisaki guessed Conan's identity after learning Kazuma Kudo's identity, Kogoro Mouri naturally guessed Kazuma Kudo's identity after confirming that Shinichi Kudo was Conan Edogawa.

Then his gaze toward Kudo Kazuma suddenly became less friendly.

Upon seeing this, Kudo Kazuma immediately took his leave three times in a row—he had no intention of drawing fire for his older brother.

After leaving the Mouri Detective Agency, Kudo Kazuma didn't go home. Instead, he sent a message to confirm Gin's location and then drove to Base 4.

After getting off the bus, he figured his brother was done too, so he sent a message reminding him to go to Ai Haibara's place for a blood test before entering the base lobby.

"Big brother~" Kudo Kazuma saw Gin sitting on the sofa doing something and immediately went over and plopped down next to him. "Did you have someone check the card I gave you?"

After tidying up the materials in his hands, Gin glanced at him and said, "Not many people in the action team know about these things, so it will be a little slower to get results."

Kudo Kazuma nodded.

Anyway, Morofushi Kagemitsu also has a share, so surely the National Security Bureau has people with this kind of talent, right?

Locating someone's location using their mobile phone number is quite simple.

However, even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. After Rum's example, will Kashasa, this cowardly successor, really stay obediently in one place?

He doesn't believe it.

In particular, he specifically used that "security personnel's" phone to call Kashasa...

Even if we can't find Kashasa's whereabouts, we should still be able to find some information from the other phone numbers on that phone.

However, organizations simply cannot conduct such census-like surveys.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and sent a message to Morofushi Kagemitsu.

Hero, you guys need to investigate thoroughly. If you find any useful information about that card, please share it!

A moment later, Morofushi Kagemitsu's message came back.

I haven't been home lately, and Aso-kun has been busy, so with no one watching over you, have you been eating and resting properly? I think you might need to take your medication again.

Kazuma Kudo: "..."

Wait, wasn't Morofushi Kagemitsu so gentle before? Where did he learn this from? How did he become so sarcastic and sarcastic?

That despicable Amuro Tooru, that despicable Furuya Rei, it must be him who corrupted Heero!
