"Hello, my dad is currently unavailable. Is there anything I can help you with? I will relay your message to him."

"Here's the thing, our Nichiri TV station has a detective mystery program and we'd like to invite Mr. Mori as a guest for this episode. If it's convenient, could you give me an answer by tomorrow night?"

"A guest on the show? Great! I'll tell my dad!"

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome."

After hanging up the phone, a hint of excitement flashed in Ran Mouri's beautiful eyes.

The news came at just the right time, successfully making her forget the embarrassment she had just experienced.

After so many years, my father finally has the chance to start anew—no, to become famous!

As long as they can behave normally on the show, with the viewership of Nichibumi TV, they will definitely be able to attract a lot of clients for the agency.

Of course, this is on the condition that the elderly father can wake up before nightfall.

……

The next day, Ran Mouri started picking out clothes for her elderly father to wear on television early in the morning.

When Luo Tian woke up naturally, the sun was already high in the sky, and the father and daughter were already prepared.

"Xiao Luo, hurry up and change your clothes, we're going to the TV station today!"

As family members and direct participants in the train bombing, Luo Tian and Mao Lilan were naturally not left out.

To put it bluntly, the Mouri Detective Agency can use this program to advertise, and the program can also ride the wave of popularity from this case, so it's a win-win situation!

"Oh"

Shaking his little head, Luo Tian groggily climbed out of bed to wash up.

Completely unaware that the girl's face was flushed and her eyes were filled with shyness.

She did something bad last night!

Driven by a spirit of exploration and curiosity, during her daily routine of cuddling the little boy to sleep, she secretly observed the elephant that had been on her mind all day.

But the result was just a slight provocation; the elephant instantly transformed into Optimus Prime, immediately scaring away the girl with malicious intentions.

As a result, Ran Mouri didn't sleep well all night.

Every time I close my eyes, either an elephant is dancing in front of me, or Optimus Prime is roaring: Autobots! Transform and attack!

Finally, I was so tired that I fell asleep, and in my dreams, I saw someone's smile, a mixture of innocence and wickedness.

"Xiao Luo! I'm so sorry!"

Watching Luo Tian brushing his teeth, swaying back and forth on a small stool, the girl felt a surge of grief and indignation.

Teitan High School has a physiology course, and her best friend Sonoko Suzuki often instills some unhealthy knowledge in her.

She knew very well that she had a terrible dream, and the object of her affections was actually a cute little boy!

If there were a hole in the ground, Ran Mouri would love to bury herself in it, but unfortunately there isn't.

Therefore, she could only remain silent on her way to the TV station, trying her best to forget about it.

Chapter 35: Live Broadcast, Attention from All Sides

Nichiri TV is the largest television station in Tokyo.

Just like many large film companies, television stations, once they develop, will split into all sorts of departments, from news and variety shows to late-night radio, and so on.

Therefore, television stations will also build different sets of studios according to various needs.

As a result, both the size of the TV station building and the number of staff are quite considerable.

Around 3 p.m., a taxi stopped in front of the Nichiri TV building.

"Hahaha, this show will be broadcast nationwide, and all the beautiful ladies will definitely see my brilliant deduction skills, then... Wahahaha!"

Looking at the building in front of him, Kogoro Mouri suddenly put his hands on his hips and burst into his signature laughter, as if he could already see what he would be like after becoming famous.

However, unlike what the girl was thinking, what he was looking forward to was not money, but being surrounded by beautiful women.

This prompted Ran Mouri to quietly lead the little boy aside, pretending not to know him.

In broad daylight, with so many people watching! It's so embarrassing!

Fortunately, the old man's silly grin didn't last long, and a middle-aged man whose build was comparable to Inspector Megure came out to greet him.

"Hello, I am Michihiko Suwa, a program producer at Nichiri TV."

Upon seeing Kogoro Mouri, he immediately greeted him warmly.

It was almost time to record the show, so everyone didn't exchange many pleasantries and, led by Michihiko Suwa, arrived at the studio.

In order to better capitalize on the trending topic, this program was not recorded and broadcast, but was broadcast live in its entirety.

Therefore, many processes require mutual cooperation, and the staff is explaining some precautions to Kogoro Mouri.

Sitting in the front row of the audience, Ran Mouri was curiously looking around, while Luo Tian's mind began to wander.

This feels like a great opportunity to stir things up!

He hasn't had any opportunities to scam people lately, and his comfortable life is making him feel a bit bored.

I originally posted Kogoro Mouri's "evidence" in the group chat on the train, thinking I could scam him and get some rewards.

Unexpectedly, Attorney Fei didn't react at all; she must have been utterly disappointed long ago.

The beautiful woman who made the deal with Gin was arrested by the police, but the system's settlement voice message was not triggered.

It seems that this saved the other person's life, and can't be considered a scam.

However, another settlement voice message surprised him quite a bit.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for failing the mission to trick Gin. You have received the following rewards: 1 scapegoat doll and the antidote for Drug A (12-hour version)!]

[Survivor Doll: Every time you suffer a fatal wound, one doll is consumed. Refuse to be a substitute; start with you!]

Uncle Qin, I've already tricked you once, so it shouldn't be a problem to do it again, right?

Thinking this, Luo Tian quietly slipped out of the photography studio and took out his card in a deserted corner.

Henshin (transformation)!

Ah! Gin! Get ready for your dark history!

……

The discovery of a bomb on a Shinkansen train would definitely be a major event that would shake the entire country of Japan.

The fact that the bomb was successfully defused by an unknown, third-rate detective brought the incident to the attention of many more people.

They were all very curious about what kind of person could accomplish such a heroic act.

Therefore, today's live broadcast is destined to be watched by many people.

In Kawa City, Osaka Prefecture, inside a traditional Japanese building, a dark-skinned man, whose appearance rivals that of the black man who sold Conan to work in the mines, sits in front of a computer.

His expression was solemn, as if he were on a pilgrimage, but what was playing on the computer screen was just a variety show.

"Kogoro Mouri, let me see what you're capable of! I hope you can be like Kudo and not disappoint me!"

Hattori Heiji's eyes were full of anticipation, completely ignoring the message popping up on his silent phone from his childhood friend.

……

Inside a luxury apartment in Liberty City, America.

With his backside still recovering, Conan sat in a chair, looking at his phone.

Having been keeping a close eye on news from China, he naturally knew about this major event that had just occurred.

"It must be a coincidence!"

Upon learning that it was Kogoro Mouri who defused the bomb on the train, his first reaction was disbelief.

Then they thought it was just a lucky break, that the uncle got incredibly lucky.

This is a big case, it's more appropriate for him to handle it!

Therefore, he plans to use this program to expose the useless uncle and find out the truth of the matter.

Even though it was nearly midnight in the United States, he still forced himself to stay awake.

Fortunately, Yusaku Kudo was busy writing before the deadline, and Yukiko was out having fun again, so no one could control him.

……

Inside an underground bar near an international airport in Tokyo.

"Ani-gei, the show's about to start!"

A cold glint flashed in Vodka's eyes, but unfortunately, no one noticed it because of his sunglasses.

"Shut up, I can see."

Gin said coldly.

It's hard to imagine that two fierce-looking men were sitting around a sofa, staring at the TV on the bar wall like they were watching a TV series.

The fact that Vodka, this goofy character, was wearing sunglasses added an extra touch of comedy.

"Hmph, Kogoro Mouri, let me see if you're really capable!"

Gin was naturally very unhappy about the mission's failure.

The good news is that he failed, but not completely; at least he brought the money back.

So after being reprimanded by the boss, the matter was over.

It's over?!

The proud and arrogant Mr. Qin naturally couldn't stand this insult and wanted to see what kind of person was the culprit who caused his failure.

……

Not only him, but everyone in the Black Organization who knew about this was watching the program in various ways.

That woman was one of them!

"Angel, it's been so long!"

However, Vermouth wasn't interested in that useless old man.

She only paid a little attention to the screen when the camera panned across the audience; otherwise, she was just drinking alone.

Before long, only half a bottle of red wine remained in his hand.

Unfortunately, the half-bottle of red wine slipped from her hand the next second and crashed to the floor, scattering crimson liquid and shards of glass everywhere, but Vermouth didn't seem to care at all.

Her gaze was fixed on the screen, her beautiful face filled with disbelief, and her delicate body, wrapped in a silk nightgown, rose and fell with her rapid breathing.

"GIN? How could that be?"

Chapter 36 My name is Gin, and I'm here to turn myself in.

Inside the ninth-floor studio of Nichiri TV station.

The program has been broadcasting live for some time now.

Since Kogoro Mouri left the Metropolitan Police Department to become a detective, most of the cases he takes on involve catching mistresses and investigating extramarital affairs.

Aside from the train bombing incident a couple of days ago, there's not much else to say.

Fortunately, he has a good talent for languages, and with the host's guidance, he occasionally cracks jokes, which makes the show quite entertaining.

In addition, the production team planted shills in the audience beforehand to ask one or two technically challenging questions, which Kogoro Mouri, who already knew the answers, would then answer.

To the untrained eye, he looks every bit the brilliant detective!

Such a live broadcast program could not possibly last for an hour or two before it ended, and soon the intermission began.

This is what's commonly known as advertising time!

As one of the hosts, Takashi Matsuo immediately prepared to carry out his murder plan!

At Mika, it's quite normal to kill someone or two during work breaks!

However, before he could even step out of the studio, he was blocked by a tall figure.

Wearing a black wide-brimmed hat, the brim and bangs obscuring his eyes, leaving only half of his cold and handsome face visible, coupled with a black overcoat and long blond hair, this person attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered the photography studio.
