"Hello, who is this!"
"Is this Inspector Megure? This is Shinichi Kudo. I'm aware of what happened to Ran yesterday. I'd like to ask if there are any new leads?"
After returning yesterday, Conan wanted to contact Inspector Megure, but Ran dragged him back home.
Having no other choice, Conan waited until the next morning, before the old man and Ran woke up, and sneaked out to call Inspector Megure using his voice-changing ringtone.
"Oh, it's Brother Kudo? You've finished your case?" Inspector Megure, who had just been woken up early in the morning, suppressed his morning grumpiness after hearing who the other person was.
This person is my best tool, I can't afford to offend them. I'm counting on them to help me solve cases in the future. More friends, more options.
"Haha, it will probably take some more time. This case is quite troublesome. Have you found Takahashi Ryoichi's body yet?" Without any awareness of being used as a tool, Conan chuckled and continued to ask.
"They've been found, and according to the autopsy report, the person was already injured and unconscious before falling..."
At this point, Inspector Megure wanted to continue speaking.
However, remembering that his boss had told him yesterday that the case could be closed, using the excuse that Takahashi Ryoichi committed suicide out of fear of punishment, he felt it was inappropriate to continue talking to Kudo Shinichi.
I heard that the Suzuki Group put pressure on higher authorities to close the case quickly.
"What else? Why did Inspector Megure stop talking?" Conan, who was listening intently, urged as the phone suddenly went silent.
"Haha, sorry, I just woke up and I'm still a bit groggy. Ryoichi Takahashi jumped off the cliff himself and committed suicide out of guilt." After thinking for a moment, Inspector Megure decided that there were some things he shouldn't tell Shinichi Kudo.
"No way? Inspector Megure, didn't you just say that Ryoichi Takahashi was..."
"You misheard me, Kudo. My wife's calling me to get up, I'll hang up now..."
"Beep, beep"
Conan listened blankly to the phone call that had just ended. "This isn't right, Inspector Megure. You weren't like this with me before."
"Damn it, Inspector Megure definitely said that Ryoichi Takahashi lost consciousness before falling down," Conan thought, frowning.
“Something must have happened inside that I don’t know about. There must be a huge organization behind this.” Conan felt like he was caught in a huge conspiracy.
"What role did Yuzuru Hanyu play in this?"
After pondering all the way back to the entrance of the agency, Conan saw Ran tiptoeing out.
"Sister Xiaolan, are you going out?"
...
"Dating?"
"Yes, I'm going on a date with someone very important to me!" Ran saw Conan bumping into her and quickly stopped him from coming with her.
"If Dad finds out I went on a date, he'll be angry. Don't tell him."
"Mmm," Conan nodded happily, watching Ran leave.
"Dating someone very important, that's me, Shinichi Kudo! No wonder I'm dressed up so nicely today." Conan smugly went inside and lay down on the sofa.
"Wait, I'm right here! I am Shinichi Kudo!"
Conan, suddenly realizing something was wrong, wondered when he had said he was going on a date with Ran.
"Damn it! If it wasn't me, then who is Ran going on a date with?" Frantically scratching his head, Conan suddenly remembered someone, "Could it be that guy, Yuzuru Hanyu...?"
Thinking of this, Conan's expression changed drastically: "No, absolutely not! Hanyu Nan is extremely dangerous!"
...
"Hmm, number 26, this should be it!"
Xiaolan looked around and confirmed that this was Yusheng Nan's villa.
Just as I was about to ring the doorbell, I heard a mechanical voice coming from the front door:
"Please enter your password!"
"Huh?" Xiaolan was initially stunned, but quickly realized what was happening and said, "..."
"Hello, I'm here to visit Nan. Is he home?"
"You have been connected to guest mode, please wait."
...
"Oh, Ran has arrived already?" Hanyu Nan, who was in the kitchen holding a bunch of books with bread printed on them, heard the security device sounding that a guest had arrived. He walked to the monitor screen and saw Ran standing obediently at the front door.
Yuzuru, who had just granted Ran visitor access and was about to greet her, noticed a red dot on the radar screen at the corner behind Ran.
The surveillance camera was turned up and looked over, and Conan was seen sneaking around in the corner watching Ran.
...
"Is this the Yuzuru Nanami residence? Even the gate is so high-tech; he's definitely not simple!"
Conan carefully observed what had just happened while pondering to himself.
As Conan followed Ran, his doubts deepened as he saw the high-tech gate of Hanyu Nan's house.
"Just who is this Yuzuru Nan? How can his family possess such advanced technology and equipment..." Conan frowned, pondering to himself. At this moment, his suspicion of Yuzuru Nan had reached its peak.
"No, we must find out what Hanyu Nan is really like. We absolutely cannot let Ran be in danger!" Conan vowed silently.
However, Yuzuru had no interest in him.
Why leave such a beautiful woman to spend time with instead of playing with a little brat?
Are you out of your mind?
...
"Nan, sorry to bother you, good morning."
Ran glanced back at the door that had closed automatically after she entered, and greeted Yuzuru Hanyu with a smile as he approached.
"Good morning, Xiaolan. You look very mature today!"
Yu Shengnan's gaze lingered on Xiaolan, carefully examining her attire for the day.
Xiaolan was wearing a sky-blue bodycon skirt underneath, the hem of which was not long, perfectly showing off her straight and slender legs.
Wearing a rather formal blue coat, paired with a sparkling ruby necklace and an exquisite women's watch, she exudes a unique charm—a blend of youthful innocence and mature elegance.
"Hehe, Nan, do you also think I look like an adult today?" Xiao Lan asked with a slightly shy smile.
"Yes, Ran looks really mature today!" Yuzuru praised sincerely.
Hearing his praise, Xiaolan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt a surge of joy as she thought of the person she was going to meet today.
"By the way, have we arrived at the garden yet?"
Looking around and not finding Sonoko, Ran asked Yuzuru.
"A guest has arrived."
Speak of the devil, and he appears! No sooner had Xiao Lan finished speaking than the announcement of the arrival of the guest came through the loudspeaker.
