Mouri Detective Agency.
"Please have some tea."
"Thanks."
In the reception area, Xiaolan placed two cups of tea on the table. The woman and the girl sitting on the sofa looked up at the same time and politely thanked her.
The two are mother and daughter.
The woman's name was Mine Shizuka, and the girl's name was Mine Raylia.
If Yuzuru were here, he would immediately be able to guess the other person's identity from their name.
The mother and daughter came to the firm today to handle a case.
"So, you want me to protect this precious sword mentioned in the notice from being stolen by Phantom Thief Kid, right?" Kogoro Mouri asked, holding up a notice in his hand.
"Yes."
Mine Shizuka nodded, while her daughter, unlike her mother, was less composed and said with a hint of excitement, "If it were the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, he would definitely be able to defeat that thief Kid!"
"Hmm hmm hmm..."
Kogoro Mouri was overjoyed by the praise, his lips curling up uncontrollably, and he almost burst out laughing.
However, in order not to ruin his image as a famous detective, he could only suppress his laughter, clear his throat, and pretend to be calm as he looked at the notice in his hand again.
Tonight at 8 PM, I will come to your residence to retrieve the legendary sword—Phantom Thief Kid.
Below is a picture of Kidd.
After reading the notice, Kogoro Mouri slapped his thigh and confidently accepted the commission: "In short, since I, Kogoro Mouri, have accepted your commission, it's not just about protecting the treasured sword, but also about capturing the Phantom Thief Kid in a spectacular fashion! Let him know how powerful I, the great detective, am!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Great! I'll leave it to you then!"
The mother and daughter were quite satisfied with this attitude.
After all, they had come all this way to do this job, and the more confident the other party seemed, the more at ease they felt.
Looking at the three people in front of her, brimming with confidence, Xiaolan shook her head helplessly, silently took out her phone, and sent a message to her boyfriend.
Others might think Kogoro Mouri is a true master detective, but as his daughter, how could she not know her father's true nature? Let alone catching Kaito Kid, she'd be lucky to even keep his treasured sword.
Being overconfident is not a good thing.

...........
evening.
In front of the gate of a martial arts dojo, which is designed like a mansion, an unusually short old woman is loudly berating a group of police officers.
"Go back! Go back! You're not welcome here!"
"Wait a minute, our opponent is Kaito Kid!"
"Whether he's Kidd or Sid, I don't need you guys meddling in my business. You're such a nuisance!"
With a loud, clear shout from the old lady, Officer Nakamori and his men were swept away as if by an invisible gust of wind.
The old lady stood on the steps, looking down at the old woman and said, "We can protect this precious sword ourselves."
"You'll be crying later!"
Officer Nakamori shouted angrily.
Wherever Kidd is, there he is.
However, before Officer Nakamori could continue to persuade the other party to let the police go in and help, a voice came from the side.
"Grandma, what are you doing?"
Feng Leilia saw her grandmother bullying a group of police officers from afar and quickly rushed over.
Behind her, Shizuka Mine, Kogoro Mouri, and Ran were also walking towards the Budokan.
Yes, and there's a group of kids too.
Conan and the three little ones also came along.
While Conan was picking up something at the Mouri Detective Agency, he overheard Kogoro Mouri receiving a request related to Kaito Kid. Instantly, he was energized, forgetting all about Kamen Rider and begging Kogoro to follow him.
The three boys also joined in under the name of the Junior Detective League.
The Detective Boys are there when there's trouble, Conan is there when there's nothing to do.
The great detective has long since seen through this worldly existence.
"It's Raylia. I just chased those guys out."
"Huh? Aren't they police officers?"
Feng Leilia looked at the group of police officers in front of her with some confusion.
Is my grandma really that fierce?
Upon hearing this, the old lady waved her hand dismissively: "Never mind them, Lelia, who are these people behind you?"
"The famous detective Kogoro Mouri, his daughter Ran, and the members of the Detective Boys are all here to protect the treasured sword from being stolen by Kaito Kid."
Feng Leilia introduced everyone.
The old lady frowned unhappily and said loudly, "This is unnecessary. Let them go back!"
As the sun set, the atmosphere in front of the martial arts hall became tense and confrontational.
The old woman stood with her hands on her hips, determined to drive the police away, as if "no one can do anything about it."
Mine Raylia and her mother Mine Shizuka looked helpless, while Kogoro Mouri stood awkwardly in place—he, a famous detective, was actually being disliked by an old lady.
Just then—
"Brother Nan!"
Ayumi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she cheered as she ran off into the distance.
Hanyu Nan was walking slowly from the street corner, accompanied by Shimabukuro Kimie in a shrine maiden outfit and Nakamori Aoko in casual clothes. Today, he was wearing a simple white shirt and black casual pants, which made him look as radiant as a gentle breeze and a bright moon.
Conan stood at the back of the crowd and quietly glanced around—not seeing that familiar light gray figure, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to Yuzuru Hanyu, the "smiling tiger," Ai Haibara, the black-hearted loli, with her syringes and cold face, was more frightening to him. The "contribution" of two vials of blood last night still made his arm ache slightly.
"Brother Nan!" Ayumi flew towards Yusheng Nan like a happy little bird. He smiled, bent down to catch her, and patted her head.
"Hey, Conan, you're here too?"
Yuzuru looked at the great detective with a smile.
Conan chuckled twice: "Haha...yes, what a coincidence."
Damn it, why is this jinx always around me?!
The detective was internally ranting.
On the other side, Xiaolan saw that Qingzi had happily gone to greet her. The two girls, who looked almost identical, stood together, attracting attention like twins.
At the same time, the three women in the dojo—the old lady, Shizuka Mine, and Raylia Mine—all turned their gazes to Nanami Hanyu.
The boy stood there, not doing anything special, yet he seemed to have a soft-focus filter on him, making even the evening breeze seem gentle.
The family's inherited "appearance radar" never goes wrong.
In the original storyline, they were fooled by Kaito Kid's appearance, but now they are even less able to resist Hanyu Nan's good looks.
“So handsome…” Feng Leilia’s cheeks flushed slightly.
"This face...it's like it stepped out of a painting..." Mine Shizuka murmured in admiration.
