Chapter 362 A Child with Detective Potential
As soon as I stepped out of the room, the door closed itself, shutting out the bright lights inside.
The sound startled Ran Mouri, and she instinctively reached out and grabbed Chizuru's sleeve.
"Let's go." Qianzhu said softly, glancing at the hand gripping his sleeve.
"Mm." Ran Mouri nodded, following carefully behind him.
They had only taken a few steps when a distinct gunshot rang out from inside the villa.
"Gunshots?" Ran Mouri was stunned for a moment.
"That's gunfire. Something must have happened. Let's hurry."
Holding a candle that glowed with a warm yellow light, Chizuru and Ran Mori walked quickly toward the source of the gunshot.
Now, Conan and his friends have put on a show, trying to force out the person who invited them.
As for the clues that needed to be obtained, Conan had already obtained and solved quite a few of them during the time Ran Mouri was in a coma.
"So, you know where the treasure is?"
Senma Kazuyo leaned on her cane, her expression calm but her eyes filled with excitement as she looked at the small figure in front of her.
His performance was simply beyond what one would expect from a typical seven-year-old.
Conan, one hand in his pocket, his expression a mix of confidence and sharpness, said, "That's right, but before I tell you, I need to know where Ran and Chizuru are."
He was testing her.
Although the answer he received was perhaps what he expected.
"I don't know where they are, and the conversations we had after being put in the secret room were not the recordings I had prepared beforehand."
Upon hearing this, Conan fell silent, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
Just as he was thinking, a familiar voice rang out.
"Dad—Conan—where are you?!"
It's Xiaolan!
A look of surprise crossed Conan's face. He glanced at Senma Kazuyo and then ran out of the room where they were currently confronting each other. He left her a message and then ran towards Ran Mouri and the others.
"Come to the restaurant, where the secret of the treasure will be revealed."
He met Xiaolan at the corner of the stairs.
"Sister Xiaolan, Brother Qianzhu! Are you alright?"
"Conan! We're alright, where's Dad?" Ran crouched down, put her hand on Conan's shoulder, looked at him, and asked.
"He's fine now, he's with the other detectives."
Conan, relieved of his worries, turned to Ran Mouri and acted like a child again, speaking in a sweet voice.
Qianzhu, who was standing next to him, suppressed her laughter and then patted his head with her usual smile. "Alright, let's go to Uncle Mori's place first."
"Hmm!" Conan nodded heavily, then, out of Ran's sight, he pursed his lips at Chizuru, clearly having seen the smile on his face.
Qianzhu immediately curved her lips into a smile again.
When they arrived at the room where Kogoro Mouri and the others were, they had already recovered from their 'pretended death' state and returned to normal.
Harufumi Mogi waved cheerfully at Conan, "Hey, how did things go, little detective?"
"Just one last bit left, I'll go and finish it off right now!" Conan smiled confidently.
"Then go ahead, good luck."
Harufumi Mogi remained cheerful, seemingly very optimistic about Conan, a child with great detective potential.
Not long after Conan left for the restaurant, the entire Twilight Villa suddenly began to tremble.
