Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 723 I am a detective!

"Xiaolan? What are you doing? You scared me!" Mouri Kogoro shouted.

In front of him, he saw Xiaolan standing at the door with her hands on her hips, staring at Mouri Kogoro with an extremely gloomy expression.

Xiaolan snorted coldly and said: "Dad! If I remember correctly, the alcohol prohibition I gave you seems to have not ended yet, right?"

"Uh, um..." Mouri Kogoro's expression changed, and his originally confused expression suddenly became much clearer.

Xiaolan's eyes became extremely dangerous: "I heard that you often go to Miki Sheng's place for a drink or two, right?"

"Ah! I only go there occasionally! And I really only had one or two drinks!" Mouri Kogoro hurriedly explained.

"Is that so?" Xiaolan looked at Mouri Kogoro suspiciously, then leaned close to his nose and moved it slightly.

The next moment, Xiaolan's moist eyes immediately showed full of anger, and she scolded: "Dad! How much did you drink this time!"

"Oh! Just leave me alone! I just drink some wine now and then!" Mouri Kogoro suddenly waved his hand, looking like he had broken a jar.

"That's not possible, the doctor said, you must control your alcohol consumption!" Xiaolan said firmly!

"I can't live without alcohol! Xiaolan, why are you as verbose as your mother now!?" Mouri Kogoro said a little unhappy.

"Oh?" Xiaolan suddenly showed a half-smiling expression and said lightly: "If you have any dissatisfaction, you might as well talk to her directly!"

With that said, Xiaolan slowly moved away.

Mouri Kogoro's mouth gradually grew larger, showing an expression of disbelief.

On the coffee table behind Xiaolan, Fei Yingli was sitting in the middle, holding a cup of tea in her hand and sipping it leisurely.

Beside her were Conan, Yu Gongming, Meng Yu and others.

Fei Yingli raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Mouri Kogoro, and said calmly: "Huh! The old habits haven't changed yet."

When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he also showed an angry look. He came to the coffee table and shouted: "Damn it! You don't need to take care of my affairs!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, a strong smell of alcohol spurted out, and everyone present couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.

Fei Yingli pressed her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and scolded: "Asshole! You smell of alcohol, stay away from me!"

"Uncle Maori, if you come over again, don't blame us for being rude!" Mengyu hid directly behind Yu Gongming, slightly sticking his head out to warn, his eyes became extremely dangerous.

Akira Hanomiya glanced at Mouri Kogoro helplessly. After the smell of alcohol around him dissipated a little, he put his hands down from his mouth and nose and said:

"Uncle, Aunt Yingli is here to see you on business."

"What's serious...my measurements...are a secret!" Mouri Kogoro said with a smile.

Akira Hanamiya's eyebrows twitched. He didn't know for a moment whether Mouri Kogoro was really drunk or just pretending to be confused.

However, now that we have reached this point, the topic must continue.

However, it is more appropriate for Fei Yingli to say this.

Fei Yingli also understood this and took the initiative to speak: "A month ago, a murder occurred at a construction site in Abedo. Do you remember it?"

"Um... there seems to be a murder case." Mouri Kogoro replied.

"That night, you also went to Mimu Sheng Snack Bar, right?" Fei Yingli asked again.

Mouri Kogoro's expression was stagnant, he scratched his cheek and said vaguely: "How can I remember such a small thing so clearly!"

"Then drink a cup of coffee and wake up!" Xiaolan brought over a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Mouri Kogoro with a bang.

Mouri Kogoro twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at Fei Yingli: "Huh! I'm already awake when I see her face!"

"Oh? That's great!" Fei Yingli said, taking out a photo from her bag and putting it on the coffee table:

"Have you ever met this man?"

The photo showed a man in his thirties wearing a suit. If Akira Hanomiya guessed correctly, that should be the biggest suspect in this case - Usami Shinji.

Mouri Kogoro picked up the photo and took a look at it. He rolled his eyes and said with some uncertainty: "Well... I think I saw him at Miki Noboru's place."

"Then tell me the details of that night." Fei Yingli said solemnly.

Mouri Kogoro showed a look of recollection: "I remember that at that time, I was already drunk and fell asleep on the table."

"Then I was woken up by the proprietress there, and she gave me my cell phone. The phone kept ringing."

"After I picked up the phone, no one spoke on the other side. I thought it was because the signal was not good, so I planned to go outside the store to answer the phone."

"When I came to the door of the store, the door was suddenly opened, and then the man in the photo appeared in front of me."

Mouri Kogoro looked at the photo again, and then nodded affirmatively: "It's absolutely true, I did meet him."

"Really? Are you sure?" Fei Yingli suddenly became energetic.

When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he immediately looked unhappy and said, "What? You don't believe me so much?"

"I didn't say I didn't believe you, I was just confirming." Fei Yingli's tone softened slightly.

"Eh? Uncle, why can you remember him even though you just glanced at him?" Conan asked doubtfully.

Mouri Kogoro looked proud: "Because I am a detective, I can remember it in my mind as long as I read it once!"

After feeling proud for two seconds, Mouri Kogoro looked thoughtful again: "Actually, it's more than just one glance."

"When I came back from the phone call, the guy was sitting at the counter."

"I asked the lady boss who he was and why I hadn't seen him before. She said he was a former friend of hers."

"I passed that phone call and was almost sober, so I planned to leave."

"But the boss lady was very enthusiastic and kept trying to keep me here. She also said she would treat me to a drink, so I continued to stay."

"I remember the guy was in the store for half an hour before leaving."

"When I came out, I heard police sirens blaring, and I also heard that someone had been killed at a nearby construction site."

"So, do you remember the time when that person entered the store?" Fei Yingli asked.

Mouri Kogoro suddenly showed a confident smile: "Of course I remember, it's 9:25!"

"Huh? How can you be so sure?" Fei Yingli asked doubtfully.

"Hey! You said I'm a detective!" Mouri Kogoro showed a proud smile again.

"Did you check the call time?" Akira Hanamiya and Conan said almost at the same time.

"Hey! You two brats!" When Mouri Kogoro heard that his pretense was exposed, he immediately looked at the two instigators with an unhappy expression.

Conan ignored Kogoro Mouri's gaze, looked at Fei Yingli and asked: "Aunt Yingli, what is the estimated time of death of the deceased?"
