A few days later, Asakawa Hajime and Mouri Kogoro arrived at the foot of an apartment building.

At this moment, they were waiting for the company president to come and pick them up so they could go upstairs to discuss cooperation.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Asakawa Yu and the others, but under the strong persuasion of Ms. Hisazumi Maiko, Asakawa Yu brought Miyano Akemi here.

Honestly, this is way too slow; it's already been over thirty minutes.

Conan stared at his watch, inwardly grumbling.

Just then, Mori's voice made him look up, "Miss Yoko, Miss Yoko!"

However, some people don't care at all.

Watching Kogoro Mouri fixing his hair with a comb and a mirror, Conan's lips twitched slightly.

"I said, Dad..."

Xiaolan originally wanted to persuade her father, but seeing his agitated state, she could only sigh in the end.

"I'm sorry, Brother Asakawa, you guys must have seen this funny." Xiaolan forced a smile at Asakawa Yu and the others, followed by countless sighs.

"It's alright, Ran. This just shows how much Mr. Mori values ​​this matter," Asakawa Yu said reassuringly, trying not to embarrass Ran.

Akemi Miyano didn't say anything from beginning to end, but the slight upturn of her lips revealed her feelings at that moment.

"Dudu!"

A car horn sounded in the distance, "Oh! They're here!"

Upon hearing the car, Kogoro Mouri was so excited he almost jumped up, but when he saw what was inside, he was dumbfounded.

The car contained only the company president; Yoko Okino was nowhere to be seen, nor was Ms. Maiko Hisazumi, whom they had met last time.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Mori."

"Uh... not at all."

"Then please wait a moment, let me park the car in the parking lot first."

After saying that, Shogo Somei drove off to the parking lot.

Seeing this, Asakawa Yu couldn't help but start thinking about some things.

For example, the president's expression just now made him feel very strange. From his eyes, Asakawa Yu saw a hint of something was wrong, as if he had just experienced some kind of change.

Another point that aroused Asakawa Yu's suspicion was the president's clothes.

He clearly drove here, but his coat was completely soaked, which makes it hard not to be suspicious.

Seeing Asakawa Yu's brows furrow slightly, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong? Did you discover something amiss?"

When she asked that question, she lowered her voice slightly, so only Asakawa Yu heard it; Ran and the others didn't.

Upon hearing this, Asakawa Yu simply shook his head slightly, "No, it's just a small matter that I discovered, it shouldn't have any impact."

Hearing Asakawa Yu say that, Miyano Akemi didn't ask any more questions.

However, Asakawa Yu, who is familiar with the plot of Detective Conan, knows that generally speaking, as long as the Mori family goes out together, the probability of an incident occurring is as high as 99%.

Although he couldn't recall the plot of this episode, it seemed like something was going to happen next.

But since it's a case I don't remember much about, it means it's just an ordinary case. In that case, I'll just leave it to Conan.

After making his own plans, Asakawa Yu also put aside his thoughts and prepared to go into the apartment together.

"What?! You're saying Miss Yoko can't come today?!"

In the corridor, Kogoro Mouri let out a scream like a groundhog after hearing that Yoko Okino couldn't come today because of something else.

"Um...yes, I heard she suddenly had something come up and couldn't come, so we'll have to find another day after the official discussion date. The staff didn't come today either."

After hearing Somei Shogo's words, Mori couldn't say anything more. He just turned his head to the side and let out a 'humph' to express his dissatisfaction.

"Um, are you okay?"

Shogo Somei was puzzled when Ran suddenly asked him this question.

"Indeed, you look even more tired than the last time we met," the observant Akemi Miyano added at the opportune moment.

"Yeah, I've been so busy lately I'm practically breathless." After a few perfunctory replies, the group finally arrived at their destination.

Ding Dong!

Shogo Somei rang the doorbell.

But strangely, after a while, there was still no movement inside.

Just as Mori was getting impatient and preparing to head home, Somei Shogo suddenly called out to him, "Wait a minute, something might have happened."

"Huh? What happened?"

"Actually...producer Nakame seems to be acting a bit strange lately. Oh...right, wasn't he on the news recently? The issue of Tokyo TV fabricating data."

Wait, is this... a self-destruction?

Hey buddy, the way you're so desperate to keep Mori, doesn't that just mean you're hiding something?

[A self-destructing truck, huh? Is this episode really that simple?]

Indeed, according to the comments, Asakawa Yu's guess was basically the same as theirs.

Given Conan's usual style, it's pretty obvious that this man is the murderer.

But is the truth really that simple?

Asakawa Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, observing Somei Shogo without leaving a trace, while pondering his purpose.

Finally, persuaded by Shogo Somei, the group found the apartment manager and asked him to bring them a spare key.

Just as the door was opened and Mori was about to go in, he found that the door was locked with a security chain.

"Anti-hotlinking...it seems it really is inside."

"Mr. Nakame, what happened?" Somei Shogo called out into the room, but no one answered him.

Left with no other choice, the group eventually decided to cut the chain at the door.

After entering the room, Mori and Somei Shogo decided to split up, while Conan said he wanted to go in with them, "Ran-neechan, you stay here and don't move."

After giving his instructions, Conan ran into the house.

"Conan!"

"Never mind, Xiaolan, I'll go in and keep an eye on him. You guys just wait here for a bit."

Just as Asakawa Yu gave Miyano Akemi a wink, signaling her to stay there while he prepared to go inside, a shout suddenly came from inside the room, "Mr. Nakame! What's wrong, Mr. Nakame!"

Upon hearing this, Asakawa Yuu felt a sense of unease and became slightly more serious, walking towards the room.
