However, this was something that Shancheng, who was far from being part of the inner circle, especially Mrs. Gongjiang, who didn't know how to be a bureaucrat's wife, couldn't understand.
All she saw was her husband being falsely accused and falling to rock bottom, while she, amidst all kinds of hardship, suddenly received the advances of someone and had no choice but to half-heartedly rely on him, only to discover in the end that this person was the real culprit who framed her ex-husband.
A surge of hatred filled his heart.
The fact that this woman, a diplomat with little political acumen, came to Uncle Mori's detective agency this time was also part of her revenge against her husband.
...
"...In short, there are some things that I cannot elaborate on here," Mrs. Tsujimura explained with a reluctant excuse. "Please come to my house later, Mr. Mori, so that my husband can speak to you in person."
"Ah, this, this..."
Kogoro Mouri, of course, wouldn't refuse a client with bizarre requests; he just scratched his head and had a sudden inspiration.
"I'm afraid this girl and your husband... might be related by blood... Oh, I didn't say anything, I don't know anything..."
"...I'll see your husband later to discuss things in detail, right? I understand!"
Seeing Mrs. Tsujimura's increasingly pale face, Kogoro wisely stopped talking and readily agreed to the request.
He had long since concluded that the girlfriend that young master Tsujimura was dating was the result of the diplomat's outrageous affair sometime in the past.
Seeing Uncle Mori's obviously distorted expression, Yoruichi Toyama and Taro under her arm exchanged an amused glance.
But we still have to go back...
【Wait, why?】
Taro asked, puzzled.
[Host, can't you think of a way to keep Conan here?]
He'll be turning back into Shinichi Kudo in a bit. There are too many people and eyes in a diplomat's family; what if they expose his identity...?
[Besides, if you stay behind under the pretext of taking care of Conan, wouldn't it be easier to increase his favorability? ...]
Yoruichi Toyama shook her head, and when no one was looking, she wagged her finger at him with a rather helpless expression.
"Old buddy, you've completely got it wrong!"
"Don't you, the transmigrated spirit from the Conan world, know what kind of personality Shinichi Kudo has?"
"When has he ever stood still when something suspicious was right in front of him?"
The man and the cat were communicating in their minds when they heard Heiji Hattori and Conan say, "Let's go together."
"We'll pretend to be a relative of the lady when we visit, so no one will know..."
Heiji Hattori, whether he was pretending to be stupid or was genuinely oblivious, was talking to himself and seemed quite happy.
When she saw Conan insisting on going with Ran, she didn't stop him, but even patted his big head to show her approval.
Then everyone's eyes fell on Yoruichi Toyama.
"Oh, it's me..."
Yoichi Toyama glanced at Conan and saw him sniffling desperately, while also giving him a knowing look. So he made a reassuring gesture.
"Of course I want to go too!"
"I'm a detective, you know!"
