Conan: Another Famous Detective

In the banquet hall.

Everyone quietly entered the venue from the safety staircase.

What surprised Yu Gongming was that the venue was still dark.

The only thing with lights on was the projection screen on the stage.

The impact of the Twin Towers skyscrapers was being projected on the curtain, and Hidehiko Kazama stood beside the curtain. At this moment, he was introducing something enthusiastically.

Akira Hanomiya listened for a while, and it turned out to be something like the design concept and process of the Twin Towers skyscraper.

After a few people looked at each other in silence, they walked toward the venue along the not-so-bright light source.

Not long after, they found Mouri Kogoro at a dining table.

At this moment, he was struggling with the food on his plate and seemed to be deaf to the introduction on the stage.

Xiaolan was about to speak, but was stopped by the voice beside her.

She made a silent gesture, and then saw Akira Hanomiya coming to Kogoro Mori's side.

Mouri Kogoro was fighting fiercely with the food, but he still felt that there was an extra person next to him.

He turned his head slightly and saw Yu Gongming's calm face.

"Hamiya..."

"Shh!" Yu Gongming made a silent gesture, and then whispered: "We have never left just now..."

Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, and then turned his head and saw Xiaolan, Mengyu, and Conan.

He immediately put down the plate, hurried to his daughter's side, and looked at Xiaolan carefully.

After seeing that his daughter had no external injuries and looked very good, Uncle Maori finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he looked at Conan again, and suddenly hit Conan's head hard, causing Conan to cry out in pain.

Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri with an innocent face, but why was he suddenly beaten for no apparent reason?

"Dad, what are you doing?" Xiaolan suddenly rubbed Conan's head with some distress, and a lump was gradually bulging at the place where he was hit.

Mouri Kogoro snorted: "Because this kid deserves to be beaten! He is so young but he always wants to meddle in adults' affairs without authorization!"

When Conan heard this, he rolled his eyes speechlessly.

It seems that Mouri Kogoro thought he was secretly following Hanomiya Akira out, so he took action to teach him a lesson.

Strictly speaking, this idea seems to be correct. After all, in his eyes, Conan is just a child, and Yumiya Akira and others suddenly left, obviously unable to deal with more dangerous matters.

Originally, Hanemiya Akira, Mengyu, and Xiaolan were a little worried about Moori Kogoro, let alone Conan, who was a burden to Moori Kogoro.

When he thought about it, Conan secretly followed him, wouldn't it cause trouble to Yu Gongming? When the time comes, Hanemiya Akira and Meng Yu will not be able to take care of them, and Mouri Kogoro will not be able to accept it no matter if one of them is injured.

Although Conan can generally understand Mouri Kogoro's thoughts, he is obviously not a burden! He is the famous detective Kudo Shinichi, the man (crossed out) behind the sleeping Kogoro, so why is he a liability?

However, it is absolutely impossible for Conan to say the above words.

Therefore, he could only receive this punch in vain.

Moreover, he was also a little depressed during this operation. He was suffocated in his backpack the whole time and did nothing at all.

Hmm... but one thing to say, Xiaolan still smells very good.

Thinking of this, Conan looked at Xiaolan who was gently rubbing his head, and his face turned slightly red.

"What's wrong with Conan? Why does his face look so strange? Did I hurt you?" Xiaolan immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at Conan with concern.

"No...it's okay!" Conan explained quickly.

Xiaolan glanced at Conan with some confusion, then stood up and glared at Mouri Kogoro with a dissatisfied look: "Dad! Don't hit Conan on the head again!"

Mouri Kogoro snorted coldly: "If you don't teach this kid a profound lesson, he won't have a long memory!"

"But this is not good! What if Conan's head is knocked out by you? Children's bodies are very fragile!" Xiaolan continued to feel sorry for Conan.

"Hmph! You've never been a parent, so you won't understand!" Kogoro Mouri snorted, as if he didn't care about you, then turned back to the dining table and ordered another piece of foie gras.

Xiaolan looked at her father helplessly: "Dad, why do you still want to eat? I've seen you ask for so much before!"

Mouri Kogoro chuckled: "This is a rare high-end cuisine. The more you eat, the more you earn!"

"It's really embarrassing for you to be like this!" Xiaolan was even more speechless.

"Oh! Xiaolan, you don't have to worry! I haven't eaten much either!" Mouri Kogoro waved his hand.

"Forget it, I don't care about you!" Xiaolan snorted, then turned around and looked around: "Eh? By the way, where is Yuanzi?"

"She..." Mouri Kogoro suddenly lowered his voice and said, "She also noticed that you were missing at that time, and then I lied to her that you had gone to the toilet."

"She waited here for a while and seemed a little bored. She didn't come back after seeing you for a long time. She thought you went to visit other parts of the building, and then she went to find you..."

"What? She went to find us?" Xiaolan's expression changed instantly!

"Yeah, I don't know where he is now."

A look of worry immediately appeared on Xiaolan's face: "If she can't find us, why don't she contact us via mobile phone...Eh? That's not right!"

Xiaolan suddenly realized that his mobile phone was in the pocket of his coat, and the coat was placed in the room on the 74th floor after she changed into a black robe.

Therefore, I am afraid that when Yuanzi called her mobile phone, no one answered...

Maybe it's because the mobile phone can't get through, so Yuanzi wants to find his own?

However, this building is not peaceful now!

"Then let me call Yuanzi now?" Xiaolan took out her mobile phone and dialed Yuanzi's number.

After a while, the call came through: "Xiaolan! Where have you been?"

Before Xiaolan could speak, Yuanzi had already spoken first.

"We just went for a walk around the area, and now we're back. Where have you been?"

"Me! The banquet was really boring, so I went to find you and wander around. Now I have reached the 60th floor."

"Wait there, Yuanzi, and we'll go find you right away!" Xiaolan said immediately.

"Yeah! I'll wait for you at the communication bridge on the 60th floor!" Yuanzi smiled and hung up the phone after saying that.

"Senior Yumiya..." Xiaolan looked at Yumiya Ming.

Yu Gongming frowned, not expecting such a change to occur.

Although Yuanzi did not run to the 40th floor, who knows if those killers would run upstairs?

"...Let's go, let's go find the garden. You and Conan can stay here, and Mengyu and I can go."

"Then please leave it to Senior Yumiya and Mengyu!" Xiaolan bowed and thanked.

"Hey! Please pay attention to your safety!" Mouri Kogoro also said.

Yu Gongming and Meng Yu nodded, and then quickly left the venue.
