Chapter 857 Without leverage, there's nothing you can do.

......

The weather is great. The sun, which hadn't appeared for several days, came out today; it was bright and warm.

Kogoro Mouri and his companions appeared in the greenhouse garden of Kita Aya's residence, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers.

Kita Aya Takumi was chatting with Kogoro Mouri about serious business with a smile on his face. At first glance, you would think they were having a casual conversation rather than discussing the threatening letters he had received.

Conan sat listening nearby, while Ran Mouri and Haruhi Kita strolled through the vast greenhouse garden, chatting about everyday matters.

"Sigh, I didn't expect to receive another threatening letter, but since there is a possibility of my life being threatened, I have no choice but to trouble you, Mr. Mori, for help."

Kita Aya Takumi took out two letters and placed them on the table. He sighed and spoke with a rather helpless expression.

However, his frustration lasted less than two seconds before a smile returned to his face, and he complimented Kogoro Mouri a few times.

Kogoro Mouri coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, and picked up the letter on the table to examine it.

Both letters were machine-printed. The first was just a verbal warning, while the second directly threatened their lives.

Because of this incident, Kita Aya Takumi immediately hired a bunch of bodyguards to surround them, but he was still uneasy until he found the guy who sent him the threatening letter, so he invited Mouri Kogoro over.

Kogoro Mouri rested his chin on his fingers, frowned, and looked at the two letters in his hands again.

"Mr. Bei Ling, do you recall anyone who is particularly hostile towards you?"

Upon hearing this, Kita Aya Takumi thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't recall it, but that doesn't mean the other person doesn't have it in their mind. After all, it's reasonable for someone to be jealous of me, Kita Aya."

Mouri Kogoro: "..."

He was slightly speechless at Kita Aya Takumi's little bit of narcissism.

Although what he said made a lot of sense, after all, it was impossible for the Beiling Consortium, which was so powerful, not to attract jealousy.

Just like the Suzuki Group.

“Threatening letters are not necessarily from business rivals.”

Just then, a clear, cold voice suddenly came from not far away, mixed with the sound of wheels rolling.

Upon hearing the voice, Conan's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked up.

Kita Ayane was being pushed this way by Percy. He was wearing a coat, his long hair was tied up, and his eyes were covered by a white cloth, giving him a cool and aloof boyish look.

"Hey, Otogo, why aren't you staying in your room?" Upon seeing him, Kita Aya Takumi immediately stood up to greet him, taking over Percy's task of pushing his wheelchair.

"I just came to see how your conversation was going," Kita Ayane replied casually. "But it seems you didn't quite hit the mark."

Kita Aya Takumi laughed awkwardly after hearing what he said, "There's nothing I can do, since we can't confirm the suspect."

Kita Ayane remained silent. After Percy brought him a cup of hot tea, Percy took out a document from a file folder and placed it on the table.

Kogoro Mouri looked at her with a puzzled expression.

The latter held out his hand, gesturing for him to open it and take a look.

Kita Aya Takumi was also somewhat curious, but he wasn't in a hurry to be the first to check.

After reading the entire book, Kogoro Mouri's eyes flashed with shock.

Conan, who was standing nearby, thought to himself: As expected of a member of the church, the information they have collected is really detailed and clear.

"Ahem." Kogoro Mouri coughed lightly, pressing his fist to his lips, his expression becoming slightly serious. "The information provided by Young Master Kita Aya includes details about the suspect and the reasons behind his actions, which is very helpful for the investigation."

Kita Aya Takumi raised an eyebrow, took the documents, glanced at them, and then a smile appeared in his eyes. He exclaimed, "As expected of my son!"

"......"

“There’s something else.” Kita Ayane took a sip of tea and spoke casually, instantly drawing everyone’s attention. “Mr. Gaius has some connections with the recently prominent Pramia.”

The three of them were slightly taken aback.

Gaius is also on this "suspect" list, while Pramia is a bomb suspect who has recently given the police a major headache. Why are these two connected?

Conan paused, feeling a sense of familiarity about Gaius...

After thinking for two seconds, he remembered that this was the foreign gentleman they had met on their last autumn outing.

He pondered it for a moment and made a mental note of it.

After saying this, Kita Ayane had Percy push him away, but instead of going back to his room, he took a walk in the courtyard.

They no longer cared about how they planned to find the guy who sent the threatening letter to Kita Aya Takumi.

He thought for a moment, then raised his hand and beckoned to Percy, instructing, "Go and prepare the invitations."

"yes."

Percy nodded in agreement and went straight to prepare.

Kita Aya stopped in the corridor, feeling the cool breeze gently blowing.

After staying in place for a while, the wheelchair moved automatically and took him away.

Thanks to that information, Kogoro Mouri and his crew easily identified the person threatening Takumi Kita the following day.

The other party is the president of a company, and he sent threatening letters to Kita Aya Takumi simply because he was dissatisfied.

"......"

Hearing his words, Kogoro Mouri and the others fell silent.

However, since the other party did not cause any actual harm or loss to Kita Aya Takumi, Kita Aya Takumi did not send him to the Metropolitan Police Department to make the police work overtime. However, his company was successfully acquired by the Kita Aya Group.

Kita Aya Takumi sighed helplessly, "Sigh, the world is going to the dogs."

Kogoro Mouri's lips twitched slightly, unsure of what to say next.

"By the way, Mr. Mori, here's the invitation. If you're interested, feel free to come and take a look."

When paying the remaining commission fee, Kita Aya Takumi also slipped an invitation to Mouri Kogoro.

Kogoro Mouri took it and looked at it, then nodded politely, "I will definitely come when I have time."

Kita Aya Takumi exchanged a few more pleasantries with him with a smile before saying goodbye to them.

Conan, who was standing next to him, twitched his lips slightly. This Mr. Kita Aya really deserves a place among those who could make Uncle Mori unable to handle him.

He seemed like an easy-going older man, but I'm not sure if he knew that Kita Ayane was a member of the church.

However, judging from their attitude towards Kita Ayane, they probably don't know.

After all, Kita Ayane wouldn't reveal his identity to just anyone.

Conan shook his head, putting the matter out of his mind.

Although he knew that Kita Ayane was a member of the church, he was helpless against her as long as he hadn't caught her committing a crime.
