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

Chapter 422 One glance, and a person is dead.

At 11:30 a.m., the three arrived at the Mihua Hotel.

Then the sharp-eyed Conan spotted Kogoro Mouri, who was wearing a hat and had done some basic disguise, leaning against the corner of the wall, seemingly spying on something.

Xiao Lan immediately leaned over and whispered, "Dad, what are you looking at?"

Kogoro Mouri was startled and jumped back. If the voice hadn't been familiar, he would have used the Mouri family's unfailing technique of the over-the-shoulder throw.

Seeing the three of them, he was speechless: "What are you doing here? Didn't you say on the phone..."

"Yes, we're here for a buffet," Xiaolan said, pointing to a spot not far away.

There was a sign that read, "Chinese restaurant, weekend special, 11:30-15:00, adults 980 yen, children 600 yen."

"So this is the place you've been talking about!" Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up, but then he remembered something and said with a determined look, "No, now is not the time to eat, my work is the priority!"

As he spoke, he peeked out to observe a man wearing a suit, with a high hairline and slightly oily hair.

Kudo Kazuma also glanced at it. Hey, this guy looks exactly like his target, Hitomi Takehiko, except for the hairstyle and temperament. He's probably Hitomi Matsuichiro.

Takehiko Hitomi, who proactively sought out Kogoro Mouri and offered his request, and Matsuichiro Hitomi, who is currently being followed by Kogoro Mouri—tsk tsk, I wonder which one his brother can help take away.

[By Death, dear Death Elementary School student, it would be best if you could take these two out in one go, Komen.]

Conan turned around and saw his younger brother sitting there with his hands clasped together, looking like he was praying devoutly. He was speechless for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just praying that the Chinese food here is authentic and that nothing goes wrong." Kudo Kazuma waved his hand. "Anyway, Uncle doesn't have time to eat, so let's go eat first."

Ten minutes later, Kazuma Kudo sat at the table by the window, listening to Conan and Ran praise the Chinese food while idly eating various desserts.

To be honest, this Chinese restaurant didn't have many truly authentic dishes, and the more famous the Chinese food, the stranger it was made. In comparison, the desserts were quite good, so at least he didn't give the restaurant a bad review.

Sigh... I didn't enjoy the meal. I wonder when his mission will be completed and when his spirit essence will arrive...

Kudo Kazuma rested his chin on his hand, looked out the window, and let out a long sigh.

"The food was delicious, why are you sighing like that?" Conan said helplessly. "Besides, what's so interesting outside the window?"

As he spoke, he glanced out the window and then saw a figure "whoosh" as it fell down.

A loud bang startled everyone in the restaurant.

Kudo Kazuma gasped and looked at Conan with deep respect.

He muttered for a long time, but seeing that Matsuichiro was still alive, Conan glanced outside.

Just one glance!

He practically killed the person he was looking at...

The power of death is terrifying!

"Wait, isn't that Dad following that person?"

Xiao Lan was so worried about her father that she didn't even think to call the police.

Fortunately, the restaurant was crowded, and with their efforts, Inspector Megure quickly arrived at the crime scene with his men. Kazuma Kudo, Conan, and Ran also rushed downstairs.

Before Inspector Megure could ask, Kogoro Mouri spoke up: "The deceased was Hitomi Matsuichiro, 45 years old. I've been following him all morning. But don't ask who hired me; I have to keep my client's identity confidential."

Inspector Megure sighed: "Alright, then tell me about the deceased's circumstances."

According to Kogoro Mouri, when Ichiro Hitomi took the elevator to the 9th floor, he followed him up. Unexpectedly, this guy ran up the stairs to the 10th floor and barged into a young woman's room.

Kogoro Mouri was simply following this person as usual, but a few moments later, he heard a woman screaming and struggling inside the room. He knocked repeatedly, but when no one answered, he kicked the door open and found the woman unconscious on the floor.

As for Matsuichiro Hitomi, who had targeted women at the time, he climbed onto the balcony railing and tried to escape to the next room through the balcony. Kogoro Mouri was afraid that he would fall, so he shouted for him to come back and tried to pull him down.

Unexpectedly, this man seemed to have a guilty conscience. When he saw Kogoro Mouri about to come forward, he insisted on moving to the next room while shouting, "You must forgive me." His legs were trembling, and he slipped and fell from the 10th floor.

At present, it seems that Kogoro Mouri bears no responsibility whatsoever, which makes the young woman who was choked unconscious by the deceased more suspicious.

The woman's name was Nanri Kaoru. Inspector Megure specifically asked her what her relationship was with Hitomi Matsuichiro, but the answer he received was that they had no relationship whatsoever.

"I don't know him at all. Actually, I'm also very curious to know, who exactly is that Mr. Renjian?"

"But he just attacked you, and you don't even know who he is?" Kogoro Mouri scratched his head. "That's really strange."

The woman was both anxious and heartbroken: "I'm telling the truth, I really don't know him!"

Inspector Megure then asked another question: "Ms. Minami Kaoru, although you registered under the name Minami Kaoru when you checked into the hotel, your real name should be Hitomi Kanako, right?"

Before the bewildered Nanri Kaoru could speak, Mouri Kogoro explained, "That's not it, Inspector Megure."

“Kanako Hitomi is Matsuichiro Hitomi’s sister-in-law. I’ve seen her picture. She doesn’t seem to have any connection with this Ms. Kaoru Nanri. Why do you think they are the same person?”

Inspector Megure said, "That's right. We checked Hitomi Matsuichiro's phone call records, and the last call was to Hitomi Kanako, around 11:20."

Kogoro Mouri pulled out his camera and showed the photos he had taken: "At 11:10, the deceased entered the toilet and left at 11:30, so he must have been hiding in the toilet and talking on the phone with his sister-in-law?"

Conan, realizing the blind spot, quickly asked in a high-pitched voice, "Nanri-neechan, when you were at the counter, you mentioned a Mr. Anzai, right? Who is he?"

Nanri Kaoru looked troubled: "I know Mr. Anzai, but he shouldn't have anything to do with this murder case. I'm a little tired, can I be alone for a while?"

Watching Nanri Kaoru's departing figure, the group was filled with doubt.

Although Inspector Megure wanted to close the case as an accident, why would this person kill a woman he didn't even know?

Could it be that……

Is he seeking revenge on society?
