He had impulsively revealed his identity as a "detective," which made Kogoro Mouri extremely wary. In fact, he hadn't taken on any serious cases so far.

Mingzhi's invitation to Golden Island certainly doesn't count.

“Yoruichi is a detective!” Conan blurted out, “But his detective work is really strange.”

"It should be said that the cases he handled were not commissioned by others, and there were almost no real victims!"

"I see..." Amuro Tooru turned his head slightly, a smile on his lips that only Yoruichi Toyama could see.

"That's truly remarkable..."

"What's so great about it!" Kogoro Mouri interrupted their conversation loudly, casually smoothing his neatly combed slicked-back hair.

"Kid, tell me, what's the most important thing for a detective?"

"Hmm... Seeking the truth?" Amuro Tooru looked like a humble and eager student.

"Wrong! It's that you can get commissions! Without commission fees, what kind of truth are you pursuing as a detective? You might as well starve!"

The older man was teaching the prospective student with his own life experience, and it seemed that he was also speaking to Yoruichi Toyama.

“Let me tell you, pursuing the truth, instead of just investigating some trivial things to get by, that’s the professional ethics of a detective.”

"But the ability to receive a steady stream of cases is what truly demonstrates a detective's professional competence!"

"For example, I, Kogoro Mouri, last time..."

...The following is omitted: 5000 words of self-praise by the uncle.

Yoruichi Toyama was fortunate to be at the back of the group, so no one saw her chuckle.

Poor Conan, he had to keep his head down and struggle to hold back his laughter.

Kogoro's recounting of his detective career only came to an end when he reached the entrance the hotel had specially set up for the press conference.

The moment the invitation was presented, the security personnel at the entrance immediately stood at attention.

"It's Mr. Mori, the VIP guest at the press conference!"

"Please come this way. Someone will take you to the VIP lounge to prepare for your performance on stage later."

"Go...go on stage?" Kogoro was taken aback, blinking his small eyes. "Are you arranging for me to go on stage?"

"You're the protagonist of the new game 'The Mystery Hall of Detective Kogoro Mouri,' so of course you should come on stage and say a few words!"

Given Kogoro's personality, he certainly didn't know what stage fright was, and immediately burst into laughter.

"Wow, this presentation was so thoughtful! No problem, I'll definitely give a fantastic speech!"

He patted his chest and strode inside, forgetting even the people he had brought with him.

The security personnel had no choice but to politely stop him.

"Excuse me, are these people...?"

"Oh, they're with me..." Kogoro glanced sideways and stared at Yoruichi Toyama.

"Except for that kid."

This uncle is really petty!

Yoruichi Toyama mentally complained as she took out her admission ticket.

"Is it a special admission ticket? Was it an invitation from Ms. Yoko? Please come in... but..."

Before the security personnel could even hesitate to say their next words, Kogoro suddenly turned around and blocked the doorway again.

"Who are you talking about? Which Miss Yoko?"

"It's...it's the famous actress Yoko Okino!" The security guard, who was angrily confronted by the detective, answered weakly, "Ms. Okino is the spokesperson for this game's announcement event. She said some friends wanted to be invited, so she issued special admission tickets..."

This is terrible...

Yoruichi Toyama immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, upon hearing "Yoko Okino," Kogoro transformed into a pea shooter, unleashing a torrent of abuse on the talkative security guard.

"Dad, Dad..." Xiao Lan, who really wanted to persuade him, was alone and powerless, and could not pose any threat at all.

Conan had already squinted and entered spectator mode.

Even Mr. Amuro, whom the uncle considers his loyal disciple and who aspires to be a detective, stands to the side with his arms crossed, seemingly cheering on his newly recognized master.

Yoruichi Toyama quietly slipped to the side, hoping to take this opportunity to sneak straight in.

But he was stopped by security personnel on the other side as soon as he moved.

"Excuse me, sir, your pet is not allowed in the venue."
