The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 448: Discovered by Conan...

"Come to think of it, the police responded very quickly this time. I thought I would have to wait a long time."

"Ah."

Akai Shuichi nodded calmly.

"The news should have reached the ears of the White Horse police officer. Given his ability, it's not surprising that he found it."

"That white horse police officer..."

James seemed to be a little emotional when he mentioned the white horse pine.

"We shouldn't deal with him unless necessary."

"Speaking of which, I met the 'cool guy' that Judy mentioned to me a few days ago. Now I think he is more interesting than that white horse police officer."

"Oh? Cool guy?"

Akai Shuichi seemed a little surprised, as if he had never heard of this name before.

"Hmm? Didn't Judy mention this to you?"

James saw Akai Shuichi's surprised expression through the rearview mirror and showed a playful smile on his face.

"It seems like she's still brooding over it."

"..."

................................

The next day, at the Maori Detective Agency

"father!"

Xiaolan slammed the door angrily and threw a newspaper on Kogoro Mouri's desk.

Her well-developed chest rose and fell, showing that she was extremely restless.

"Ok?"

Kogoro Mouri put down the newspaper in his hand with a confused look on his face and moved the cigarette butt in his mouth to his left hand.

No, why is Xiaolan so angry today?

Today, I didn't drink, I didn't bet on horses, I didn't play mahjong with anyone, I didn't go to see the mama-san in Ginza, and...

Well no five!

Anyway, I didn’t do anything today, so I just stayed at home and read the newspaper!

What was she yelling at me?!

"Xiaolan, what's wrong?"

Kogoro Mouri coughed twice, signaling Xiaolan to calm down and speak slowly.

"See for yourself!"

Xiaolan pointed at the newspaper that was thrown on the table and said to Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri picked up the newspaper that Xiaolan pointed to and looked at it.

Well, actually you don’t need to look closely.

After all, the headline on the cover was - "Shocking! A high school detective beat up a suspect on the spot. Are detectives nowadays so brazen?!"

Isn’t this the newspaper that was published in the daily news a few days ago?

Kogoro Mori thought to himself.

Seeing that her father showed no sign of surprise or astonishment, Xiaolan knew that he had already read the newspaper, and she became even more furious.

"father!"

Xiaolan shouted at Maori Kogoro in a bad mood,

"Did you know that they were slandering Shinichi like this?"

"Ugh!"

Maori Kogoro listened to Xiaolan's emotional words and sighed helplessly.

"I knew it a long time ago, but what does it matter?"

"you you..."

Xiaolan didn't know what to say. She was so angry that she felt a little embarrassed.

"How could they slander Shinichi like this, and bring up something that happened so long ago..."

Xiaolan didn't finish her words, but Maori Kogoro knew what she was going to say.

It's just that this happened so long ago, and it's a bit too much to bring it up again.

Kogoro Mori was also helpless about this.

He could keenly perceive that there might be other driving forces behind this news, and those people might have other plans.

However, he was powerless to do anything. After all, the matter was obvious. Kudo Shinichi had done everything and people had the evidence against him, so he could only let himself be slaughtered.

Of course, the most important thing is that Kudo Shinichi has been missing for a long time.

The saying "when people leave, the tea gets cold" is not just a saying.

Back then, he was the best marksman in the Metropolitan Police Department. During his time in the police academy, he broke many police academy records and left an unsurpassed legend in the police academy.

But now?

It has been ten years since he retired from the Metropolitan Police Department. Ten years have passed, and except for some old detectives, who still remembers him, Kogoro Mori.

When those young policemen talk about the unsurpassed legend in the police academy, they can only sigh that this person is so amazing, but can they think of him as a famous detective?

Similarly, Kudo Shinichi has been missing for so long that his popularity has long passed. How many people still remember him as the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era"?

"Xiaolan."

Maori Kogoro straightened his face, put down the newspaper in his hand, and said in a deep voice,

"Kudo Shinichi has been missing for so long, after all, he..."

Perhaps it was because Xiaolan came in angrily and made too much noise, so Conan also came out of the room.

He looked at Xiaolan, who was still angry, and Maori Kogoro, who looked like he wanted to explain and comfort her, and asked in confusion,

"Uncle Maori, have you made Sister Xiaolan angry again?"

It would be fine if Conan didn't speak, but as soon as he started talking, Kogoro Mouri felt annoyed just by looking at his face.

He punched right up...

"boom!"

"Ouch!"

Conan covered his head with his hands, tears in his eyes, and looked at Mouri Kogoro with a look of surprise and doubt.

That look clearly said - Uncle Maori, why did you hit me? !

"Humph!"

Maori Kogoro snorted in dissatisfaction.

"You little brat, let me talk nonsense!"

"Did I make Xiaolan angry? It was obviously that bastard Kudo Shinichi!"

"father!"

Maori Kogoro immediately caused Xiaolan's dissatisfaction.

"Shinichi is already like this, and you still..."

Xiaolan immediately started arguing with Mouri Kogoro.

Conan was very curious.

Did Kudo Shinichi make Xiaolan angry?

no......

What's wrong with him? He hasn't done anything recently.

At this time, he noticed the newspaper on Kogoro Mouri's desk. Out of curiosity, he stood on tiptoe and pulled the newspaper down.

At this time, Kogoro Mouri and Ran were still arguing and didn't notice him.

Conan looked at the newspaper, and after just one glance, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock.

"Shocking! A high school detective beat up a suspect on the spot. Are detectives nowadays so brazen?!"

Beating suspect? High school detective? Is he Kudo Shinichi?

No...can these three fucking things be connected together?

When did he, Kudo Shinichi, now Edogawa Conan, beat up the suspect? !

The current Conan has obviously forgotten what he did when he was too proud of himself, nor does he remember how many footballs he shot to knock out suspects with Dr. Agasa's high-tech Zulijian sneakers.

He quickly flipped through the newspaper, trying to get the answer.

After reading it quickly, Conan had a complicated expression.

He didn't even notice when the newspaper in his hand was pulled back by Kogoro Mori.
