A taxi stopped abruptly in front of that building.
"Brat, are you sure it's here?"
Kogoro Mouri frowned, looking at the four or five-story building in front of him.
"Uncle, the place where the Night Baron first appeared was here."
Conan walked in quickly.
Kogoro Mouri glanced at the blue Mini Cooper not far away: Why is Eri's car here?
Hurried footsteps came from the stairs.
"Iron gate?" Kogoro Mouri frowned: "Brat, give me your key."
Conan hurriedly handed the key from the riverside to Kogoro Mouri.
Kogoro Mouri put the two keys together. The grooves unexpectedly matched perfectly; the two keys became one.
[It really is here.] Conan's heart moved: "Uncle is so amazing."
Kogoro Mouri glanced at Conan and strode in.
[Uncle's look just now...]
Conan's heart shivered, a flash of solemnity crossing his eyes: No good, Uncle seems suspicious.
The two walked up cautiously.
"You guys finally came?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded, startling the two.
"Hattori?"
Kogoro Mouri and Conan widened their eyes abruptly, looking in shock at Heiji leaning against the wall.
"Dad, Conan, you guys came."
Ran walked over, smiling apologetically at the two.
"Ran, you are okay, great, great."
Kogoro Mouri instantly burst into tears.
Kisaki Eri walked over in high heels, arms crossed, glancing indifferently at Kogoro Mouri.
"Eri, you came too." Kogoro Mouri said happily.
"I'm leaving, ask Ran yourself for the specific situation."
Kisaki Eri rolled her eyes fiercely at Ran. When passing by Heiji, she glared at him fiercely: "I will tell Kazuha about this matter."
Heiji's face turned black, shaking his head helplessly.
Until Kisaki Eri left, Kogoro Mouri and Conan stood dumbfounded in place.
Ran lowered her head slightly: "Dad, let me explain."
Next, she narrated the process of the kidnapping incident.
"What? Hattori... no, Brat Hattori, you unexpectedly approved of Ran doing such an absurd thing?"
Kogoro Mouri glared angrily at Heiji, even the form of address changed back.
"Hattori, you..."
Conan also glared angrily at Heiji.
Heiji shrugged casually, looking innocent.
"Dad, you misunderstood, I asked Heiji for this matter, it has nothing to do with him."
Ran walked to Heiji's side to explain, at the same time pulling a long face: "Conan, call him Big Brother Heiji in the future, not allowed to be impolite."
[Hehe, this Ran.]
Conan leaned back slightly, holding his head, looking helpless: "Got it, Sister Ran."
"Hmph, Brat Hattori, next time there's such a thing again, I definitely won't spare you."
Kogoro Mouri glared at Heiji.
Heiji curled his lips: This kind of thing, there won't be a next time.
The scene suddenly quieted down.
"Dad, aren't you going to chase Mom?"
After a long time, Ran's voice sounded faintly.
Kogoro Mouri froze, a flash of complexity crossing the bottom of his eyes.
Immediately, pretended to be relaxed.
"She's not a child, no need to care."
A series of footsteps sounded from the stairs, drifting further away.
Kogoro Mouri's ears twitched slightly, the look in his eyes becoming more complicated.
A flash of shrewd light crossed Heiji's eyes: Sure enough, there is a reason for Kogoro Mouri and Kisaki Eri's separation. Just why won't he even tell his own wife?
"Dad, doing this will make Mom very disappointed." Ran's mood was somewhat low.
"Alright alright, let's not talk about our matters first. What about that brat Kudo Shinichi? Could it be in this incident, he wasn't notified at all?"
"Shinichi?"
[Me?]
Ran and Conan froze simultaneously.
"Shinichi didn't answer my call." Ran smiled bitterly: "He might be busy with something."
"Exactly, maybe Shinichi-nii is investigating a case. That's why he didn't hear Ran-neechan's call," Conan echoed loudly from the side.
"Leaving aside that brat Kudo for now, Brat Conan, you are a bit abnormal today. The speed of cracking the code was unexpectedly faster than me, this famous detective."
Kogoro Mouri suddenly looked at Conan suspiciously.
Conan's scalp went numb from being stared at, could only laugh awkwardly: Terrible, Uncle really suspects.
Out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at Heiji.
[Damn it, can't use Hattori as an excuse this time.]
"Why are your eyes shifting? Could it be there is some unspeakable secret?"
Kogoro Mouri pressed step by step.
"It was Shinichi-nii who told me."
Conan suddenly shouted loudly.
[No choice, can only use my own identity to cover up a bit.]
"That brat Kudo?" Kogoro Mouri frowned: "Wrong, he didn't even answer Ran's call, how would he know the code for this kidnapping incident."
"Because I called Big Brother Shinichi."
"So you mean, Shinichi knew I was kidnapped?" Ran asked nervously.
"Mn, Big Brother Shinichi was very nervous hearing Sister Ran was kidnapped, kept asking me to pay attention to this matter, and notify me immediately after cracking the code."
Conan was sweating profusely on the back of his head, brain spinning frantically.
"Since Kudo brat knew Ran was kidnapped, why didn't I see him?"
Kogoro Mouri frowned.
A flash of nervousness crossed Ran's beautiful eyes; she still cared about Kudo Shinichi.
"That... because Shinichi-nii encountered a very troublesome case, couldn't get away. But, he cares about Sister Ran very much."
"Case again?"
Ran muttered to herself, a trace of bitterness hooking up her thin lips.
"What? Ran encountered such a big matter, that brat Kudo unexpectedly didn't come back?" Kogoro Mouri shouted angrily.
"But, Shinichi-nii cares about Ran very much. He kept contacting me, asking all about Sister Ran's matters." Conan explained hurriedly.
"No matter how many caring words, they can't compare to a warm action. Tell Kudo, keep acting like this, it will be too late to regret when the time comes."
Heiji leaned against the wall, hands in pockets, pointing out intentionally.
Conan glared at Heiji, then looked at Ran:
"Sister Ran, Shinichi-nii asked me to tell you, as soon as he finishes the case, he will come back to find you immediately. Don't be angry, he will explain everything to you then."
Ran suddenly shook her head gently:
"Since Shinichi is so busy, let him be."
Conan's heart trembled: Ran's tone, is she angry? Damn it, blame this guy Hattori, why cooperate with her to act out this play.
Fortunately, Heiji didn't know what Conan was thinking, otherwise he would definitely kick him flying: He was just an executor. Ran was the director from beginning to end, unexpectedly blaming it on him.
"Forget it, that reasoning maniac, don't think about seeing my Ran again in the future."
Kogoro Mouri said hatefully.
Heiji smiled faintly:
"Alright, this matter can be considered ended, I'm leaving."
He didn't need to waste time here anymore.
"Heiji wait for me."
Ran chased after.
"Dad, Conan, tonight I'm going to stay at Sonoko's house, solve dinner yourselves."
The attic quieted down completely, leaving only two people, one big and one small, staring blankly at each other in place.
