Chapter 143 Conan: I'm going to self-destruct!!!
Xiaolan overheard the incident outside the ward.
Xiaolan usually wouldn't eavesdrop, but you could clearly sense that the atmosphere was heavy.
I was also listening from behind the hospital door...
"Ran, stop eavesdropping, come in." Kogoro Mouri seemed to have aged considerably in an instant.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll protect everyone." Xiaolan forced a smile as she came in, clenching her fists in front of her chest.
Looking at his sensible daughter, Kogoro Mouri shook his head and lit another cigarette.
He's already thinking about how to send Xiaolan away... to her mother.
Or perhaps they're hiding...
He can handle those terrorist organizations on his own.
After taking a deep drag of his cigarette and stubbing it in the ashtray, Kogoro Mouri scratched his head in frustration.
He was completely baffled; who had he offended?
Was he the leader of that organization whom he had infiltrated through deduction while he was asleep?
Or perhaps some reasoning inadvertently offended that organization.
The crucial point is, he knows absolutely nothing about it.
Ring ring...
Just then, my phone rang.
Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up, and he answered the phone.
"Hey, what brings you to call me..." Attorney Fei seemed to be reviewing a case, appearing somewhat impatient.
"It's nothing, just checking to make sure you're alive..." Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief.
Fei Yingli:?
Realizing that Kogoro Mouri wouldn't say that for no reason, he quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"It's nothing..." Kogoro Mouri pursed his lips, then added, "Just take care of yourself. Don't go to court these days, and try to keep a low profile..."
"Tell me, what happened?" Eri asked anxiously.
"It's a terrorist organization that's got their eyes on me..." Kogoro Mouri said quickly. "I'll take Ran there in a bit... Just hide well."
"What?!" Eri Kisaki exclaimed in shock.
"Don't die before me... That's it, I'm hanging up." Kogoro Mouri hung up the phone.
As a detective with a family, he did everything he could...
Despite his previous title as the Metropolitan Police Department's Star, what good is that against a terrorist organization?
All he could do was wait for death alone.
Ring ring...
Eri Kisaki's phone rang again.
After glancing at it, Kogoro Mouri hung up the phone and turned it off.
He didn't want to get too involved with Eri Kisaki; if it attracted attention, all his efforts would be wasted.
"Ran, you and Conan will go see your mother later..." Kogoro Mouri looked somewhat dejected. "After this commotion passes, go back to the agency. There's a card in my desk drawer; the PIN is your birthday... and there's some money in your mother's photo album..."
"Dad..." Ran looked at Kogoro Mouri's appearance with a mixture of amusement and heartache, and said firmly, "I won't leave. I can help if I stay here."
“It’s not your turn to help.” Kogoro Mouri took another drag of his cigarette. “Officer Sato, I’m counting on you.”
Miwako Sato nodded emphatically...
The atmosphere became somewhat somber for a moment.
Conan clenched his fist, then relaxed it, then clenched it again...
"Uncle Mori, actually I..." He hesitated whether he should reveal himself and face the situation together with Uncle Mori.
"Conan, it's okay..." Ran was a little nervous, but she still comforted Conan.
pat..
pat...
The sound of footsteps rang out, and everyone tensed up instantly.
Xiaolan's heart was also a little tense, but as the footsteps got closer, her heart gradually calmed down.
That... seems to be the sound of Shen'erge's footsteps.
Creak...
The door was opened, and Sato Miwako had already drawn her gun, ready to fire.
"Are you in trouble?" Fuheishen asked, chewing on a takoyaki he had just bought from outside.
Everyone: ........
The contrast is striking.
"Shen'er Ge..." Xiao Lan's tense heart instantly relaxed upon seeing this.
I don't know why, but Shen'er always gives me a sense of security... It's as if there's nothing that can't be solved with him around.
Who knows how much she, a 17-year-old high school girl, was carrying?
When everyone was feeling down and on the verge of collapse, she persisted in comforting them.
"Nothing much, Erge," Xiaolan smiled. "We were just talking about some things..."
Although Shen Ge brings a sense of security, it's just a feeling.
She didn't want to involve Shen Erge.
Fuheishen used a bamboo skewer to stick a small takoyaki ball in his mouth and held it to Xiaolan's lips. "Open your mouth."
Little Lan's beady eyes, "Brother Shen..."
Seeing that Shen'erge was staring at her indifferently, she obediently opened her mouth and ate it.
Thanks to Fuhesh's actions, the atmosphere on the scene eased.
"I told you before..." Fu Heishen'er's crescent-shaped eyes... "Have you forgotten...?"
"No, no..." A strange feeling welled up inside Xiaolan. "Dad, he..."
That makes sense, no matter how dangerous it is... Shen'erge will always be there for me.
“Brother Fushiguro…” Inspector Megure’s expression turned serious as he interrupted Ran, “The seriousness of this matter is beyond your imagination. Don’t get involved anymore.”
As a police officer, he wouldn't let his brother Fuhei get involved in such dangerous things again.
"Shen'ergege..." Conan looked at Fukuro Shen'er with a pitiful expression, almost crying.
Seeing this scene, Fuheishen couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
It seems Conan, clearly terrified, used Shinichi Kudo's terrified voice to tell Inspector Megure something that terrified everyone else in the process.
It's quite interesting...
"Come out with me for a moment, Shirge." Conan reached out and took Shirge's hand, leading him outside. "I need to tell you something..."
Fushiguro Jinji looked disgusted and brushed Conan's hand away.
Honestly, he got a bit hot from killing people at Yasukuni Shrine today, so he's thinking of coming over to try and get some hands on Ran's hand, and taking a gamble...
If death were to touch you, what would happen?
After glancing at Conan's tearful, aggrieved expression, Fushiguro Jin nodded. "Let's go..."
After arriving at a quiet place where no one would disturb us...
Conan took a deep breath. "Shen Gege, actually... I'm Shinichi Kudo..."
“I know,” Fuheshchen said calmly, without the slightest surprise.
Conan:! ! !
"How did you know?" Conan's pupils contracted.
"Didn't we deduce before that you're Shinichi Kudo's son?" Fushiki tilted his head in confusion...
Conan: "........."
"That's not how it is, never mind." Conan, seeing Fushiguro Jinji's expression, gave up explaining his identity and asked in a different way, "Jinji-gege, do you know... an organization codenamed after alcohol?"
