A ramen shop near the Metropolitan Police Department.

After everyone ordered ramen, Maori Kogoro pretended to ask casually: "Tatsuno, Xiaolan, is that guy okay?"

"That guy? You're not referring to my mother!" Xiaolan frowned.

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro snorted and didn't answer.

Tatsuno narrowed his eyes and glanced at Maori Kogoro, a little speechless.

Do you think you are a girl in the tsundere period?

You are shy even when you say your wife's name?

If you care about her, then care about her, but you are so roundabout. If you don't know, you will think you are a girl who is in love in adolescence...

"Auntie is fine, but Xiaolan and I are going to let her stay at our house for a few days, and let Auntie change her mood by the way. Although I think Auntie may not need to change her mood..."

"Really..." Maori Kogoro took a sip of the barley tea in the cup and said lightly.

After learning that Kisaki Eri was fine, the muscles on his face obviously relaxed.

At this moment, Conan suddenly said, "But speaking of it... this incident is really strange."

"Yes, based on my experience, this case is very tricky!" Maori Kogoro nodded.

Hearing this, Conan looked at Uncle Maori with disdain and complained silently in his heart.

Your experience?

If based on your experience, no matter what case looks tricky, right?

But Conan did agree with Maori Kogoro's statement.

This case is indeed strange everywhere.

First of all, how did the man in black know that the three kidnappers would be transported to the court at that time?

Although this is not a secret, there are indeed not many people who know about this.

In addition to some police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department, there are people in the court.

Secondly, since the ultimate purpose of the man in black to hijack the escort vehicle was to kill the three people, this person must have a deep connection and hatred with the three people.

But according to their investigation in the morning, apart from the wives and families of the three men, there was no one who had obvious grudges against the three men.

Finally, that killing method was not something that one person could do.

The abandoned warehouse was empty, and there were no props or items at the scene that could achieve the killing method of "hanging high on the roof".

The man in black might not be the only one who killed the three people!

But according to the investigation, the three victims did not seem to have any contradictions or conflicts with any "gang" or "Yakuza".

In short, the intelligence and clues they currently know cannot help them identify the suspects.

They can't even narrow down the scope of the suspects.

Thinking of this, Conan looked at Ryuno on the side.

Speaking of which, if it was Takeda, he would definitely be able to carry the three people easily.

But... even if he could easily carry the three people, it would be difficult to hang them on such a high rope.

Conan shook his head and gave up his idea.

Is there really a guy as BT as Takeda in this world?

After lunch, Tatsuno took Xiaolan to a nearby supermarket.

The two went to pick their favorite ingredients separately.

Although there was no shortage of food at home, it was Eri Kisaki who was going to stay this time, and both wanted to show off their cooking skills.

It would be best if Eri Kisaki would never think of cooking for herself again after eating.

After a brief thought, Tatsuno prepared to make a few slightly sweet dishes.

Pork in a pot, flavored eggplant, crispy tofu with roasted sauce…

Among them, Xiaolan’s favorite was pork in a pot.

Although I don’t know if these dishes are suitable for Eri Kisaki’s taste, she is Xiaolan’s mother after all, and there shouldn’t be much difference in their tastes, right?

Soon after, Tatsuno and Xiaolan met at the counter, and they looked at each other’s selected ingredients curiously.

After seeing some of the ingredients selected by Tatsuno, Xiaolan immediately guessed that one of the dishes Tatsuno was going to make was ‘Pork in a pot’, and her eyes suddenly flashed with anticipation.

Ever since Ryūno made this dish for her once before, she has fallen in love with the taste of this dish.

On the other side, when Ryūno saw the ingredients Xiaolan had chosen, such as ‘onions’, ‘carrots’, and ‘potatoes’, he was slightly stunned.

“Xiaolan, are these ingredients you bought… ingredients for curry?”

“Hehe~ That’s right! I learned a new method from the Internet a few days ago, and I just wanted to try it~”

“But I remember that Auntie seems to be a bit fond of curry?”

“Ah? But… Ryūno, don’t you like curry very much…”

After saying this, Xiaolan blushed slightly, and secretly glanced at Ryūno with her bright big eyes.

Seeing Xiaolan’s appearance, Ryūno quickly reached out and touched his heart.

After feeling the vibration of his heart beating violently, Ryūno’s mouth corners unconsciously lifted up..

I didn't expect that even though they had become an 'old married couple', Xiaolan could still hit his heart accurately like this.

Not good!

It's the feeling of being in love!

Am I in love again? !

Although Xiaolan didn't say anything sentimental at all, Long Ye felt a little dizzy.

After walking out of the supermarket, Long Ye held all the ingredients in his left hand, and held Xiaolan's hand tightly with his right hand.

"Oh! You still have so many things in your hand, at this time... why are you holding, holding hands..."

After feeling the temperature from her hand, Xiaolan couldn't help feeling a little shy.

Although the two had long passed the 'stage' of blushing when holding hands, she didn't know why she suddenly felt a little shy now.

Long Ye chuckled, not only did he not let go of his right hand, but he opened his fingers and interlocked his fingers with Xiaolan's.

Seeing this, Xiaolan didn't speak again, but showed a sweet smile.

Nodding and lowering her eyebrows, she silently felt the touch and temperature from her hand.

"Xiaolan."

"Hmm?"

"Do you think the sky is better today than the past few days?"

"Yes, the sky does look better today than before~"

"Hehe~ Let's not cook today, let's order takeout. I want to spend my time on more meaningful things~"

"Hmm..."

"..."

At the same time

"Ms. Yoshino, do you really not know who your ex-husband has a grudge against?"

"I've told you, I don't know! And you also said that he is my ex-husband! I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore!"

"Uh, sorry to bother you..."

After leaving the courtyard, Inspector Megure and Kogoro Maori looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

"There is no way, we don't have any evidence now, and we can't force them to cooperate."

"Inspector..."

Because the three victims had a history of "domestic violence", "cheating" and "gambling".

So both their own families, ex-wives and friends have a very bad impression of them.

The investigation and evidence collection work is extremely difficult.

Conan looked at the backs of the two people and lowered his head in thought.

Now that I think about it...

'Mysterious man in black', 'No clues left at the scene', 'Killing three people without scruples'...

Isn't this what Gin and his friends always do?

Could this be something they did? !
