Seeing the children's shocked expressions, Kogoro Mouri didn't say anything more, but simply waited quietly for them to come to their senses.
After a while, Conan was the first to realize, thinking to himself, "Could it be... that this is the source of the ominous feeling I had earlier?"
Genta and Mitsuhiko gradually recovered from their shock, but their faces still showed some fear and doubt.
Kogoro Mouri clapped his hands. "Alright, let's hurry over there!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Conan grabbed his skateboard and ran to the door, his mind preoccupied with how to solve the case, completely forgetting about the IOU that had been troubling him earlier.
Nothing is more important than the case!
"Speaking of which..." Ayako said, squinting, "didn't we just pass by there?"
"How could this be?" Xiaolan looked at Yusheng Nan in surprise.
Yuzuru nodded and said calmly, "Yes, it just so happened that the red sedan came out of Factory No. 4, so we chased after it."
"So we're going over there too?" Ayako said, sounding slightly excited.
Thinking to myself: No wonder my sister likes to play with Yuzuru all the time, it turns out it's so exciting.
In just one afternoon, there was wild racing, American-style parking, and now they're going to a murder scene.
This was much more interesting than her daily life of dealing with documents in the office.
"I guess... you guys will have to go..." Kogoro Mouri said somewhat uncertainly.
“Then let’s go together,” Yuusuke gently put Ai down and handed Ayumi to Ran. “Ran, I’ll trouble you to stay here with Ayumi for a while.”
Xiaolan took Ayumi from her and smiled gently, "It's alright, Nan. Keep an eye on Dad and don't let him do anything reckless."
Ayumi waved and said, "Goodbye, Yuzuru-nii!"
"goodbye!"
Yuzuru smiled and responded to Ayumi, then led Ayako and Ai out of the ward with Kogoro Mouri.
While waiting for the elevator, Ai quietly reached out and tugged at the hem of Hanyu Nan's clothes.
Yuzuru understood immediately and quietly moved to the back of the crowd.
"You don't have a crush on Ayumi, do you?" Ai stared at Yuzuru with a dangerous glint in her eyes and whispered, "She's still a child, and it's illegal!"
"Huh?" Yuzuru was taken aback by the question, then couldn't help but chuckle, "Ai, what are you thinking? Your thoughts are so unhealthy these days. I just see Ayumi as a little sister, what are you thinking about!"
"Ah! Is that so?" Now it was Ai's turn to be stunned, and she couldn't help but wonder if she had really been overthinking things.
"Otherwise what?" Yuzuru ruffled Ai's hair in an annoyed tone. "You don't really think I'm the kind of person who would get horny over a little kid, do you?"
"I..." Ai subconsciously wanted to ask, "What about myself?"
Yuzuru interrupted Ai's spellcasting, "You don't count, you're already legal!"
He wore a smug smile. "There's never been a law that forbids you from taking advantage of a legitimate little girl! What I'm doing is legal, compliant, and perfectly reasonable."
Ai: "..."
They were speechless.
Ai, realizing she had misunderstood Yuzuru, felt embarrassed. Fortunately, the elevator doors opened at that moment, and she hurriedly ran over to stand with Ayako.
Yuzuru, who was mistaken for a pervert, sighed helplessly and followed.
I really am a gentleman!
...
Factory No. 4
When Yuzuru and his group got out of the car, a crowd of onlookers had already gathered outside the police cordon.
The crowd was bustling and jostling, everyone trying to push and shove forward to get a better look.
It seems that people from all countries are the same when it comes to watching a spectacle.
"Inspector Megure, we've arrived!"
As soon as Kogoro Mouri got out of the car, he quickly walked inside.
Inspector Megure, who was wearing a white uniform and looking at the scene with a serious expression, turned around when he heard the voice. "Brother Mouri, you've finally arrived. Well then, I'll get straight to the point..."
Before Inspector Megure could finish speaking, he noticed Hanyu Nanasu and Ayako following behind him.
"Oh my, Mr. Yuzuru, and Ms. Ayako, what brings you here?" Inspector Megure was somewhat surprised, his expression instantly changing from serious to delighted, and he quickly went to greet them.
The speed of his change of attitude left Kogoro Mouri, who was about to say something, stunned.
We've known each other for so many years, and I've never seen him treat me like this before!
This discrimination is too obvious!
Inspector Megure didn't care what others thought. After hearing Hanyu Nan say that they had also passed by Factory No. 4, he patted his chest and assured him, "Mr. Hanyu, please rest assured, this case has absolutely nothing to do with you. We will catch the culprit as quickly as possible and give the public the truth!"
"That's good," Yuzuru said politely. "I heard Inspector Megure is getting a promotion soon, is that right?"
"What?!" Kogoro Mouri jumped up immediately upon hearing this, his face filled with disbelief. "He actually got promoted?"
Logically speaking, my long-time colleague should have remained in the position of police inspector until retirement.
After all these years, there has been no sign of him being promoted.
And now they're suddenly telling him that Inspector Megure is getting a promotion? Are they kidding him?
Inspector Megure glared at Kogoro Mouri with annoyance. "Brother Mouri, what are you saying! I work diligently, isn't it normal for me to get promoted?"
As he spoke, he gave Yuzuru a grateful look.
In fact, Inspector Megure knew very well who had helped him get promoted this time.
Without Nanami Hanyu, he probably would have remained a police inspector until retirement.
But now, among the police officers, he has the best relationship with Yuzuru Hanyu, and Yuzuru Hanyu often appears at crime scenes.
Therefore, he was able to get this promotion opportunity.
"Hmph, you call yourself diligent? I think you just got lucky." Kogoro Mouri curled his lip, clearly not believing his statement.
"Well…"
Yu Sheng Nan touched his nose, feeling like he had been scolded.
Ai, who was standing to the side, also thought of this. A smile appeared on her cool face, and she even stretched out her hand to make a gesture in a serious manner.
Then, the next second, he received a righteous flick on the head from Yuzuru Nanami.
Ai covered her forehead where she had been flicked, "Why did you dare flick me!"
"Who told you to gloat?" Yu Shengnan raised an eyebrow.
He doesn't hold grudges; he usually settles scores on the spot.
