Chapter 477 Father? Sister?
—————May 31, 8:30 p.m.——————

—————Tokyo area, Mori Office——————

The famous detective Kogoro Mouri returned triumphantly. Although the original client, Kimie Tsujimura, was in jail, the person whom Kimie Tsujimura commissioned to investigate – that is, Sachiko Katsuragi – still paid the reward.

I have to say that although Kimie Tsujimura herself is like an old shrew and a stubborn person, her daughter is sensible, beautiful and gentle. No wonder Tsujimura Takayoshi would often challenge his stepmother for Sachiko Katsuragi!

“Hey, let me see if there’s any show by Ms. Yoko recently. If not, I’ll go check out the latest horse races to see if there are any amazing new racehorses!”

Uncle Maori relaxed himself as usual, sat in his reclining chair, turned on the TV, took a sip of beer happily, and immediately felt refreshed.

“Sure enough, after finishing the commission, I just want to drink beer and watch TV to feel comfortable! Really, why did that brat Xiang Yuan just leave as soon as he said he would, but I still have to cooperate with the Public Security Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department’s investigation?”

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

When he heard the sound of footsteps, Kogoro Mouri didn’t even need to look at the source of the sound, he knew who the person who appeared was – yes, it was his daughter Ran Mouri.

At this time, Miss Mao Lilan pushed open the door and saw the beer can in her father’s hand at a glance. Her eyebrows twitched at this time, but in the end she did not give her comment.

Since Kogoro Mori was indeed very busy these days, she had no intention of blaming her father at this time, or depriving him of the right to enjoy one of his many bad habits.

Mao Lilan just sighed and then asked with some confusion.

“Dad, do you know where Conan went? He doesn’t seem to be at home. I couldn’t find him… It’s so late. He’s just a weak, pitiful and helpless elementary school student. Where would he go?”

…Hmm? Conan is missing? When did it happen?

Uncle Maori sat up suddenly, with a question mark above his head. Then he took out his mobile phone from his arms and saw an unread message when he opened the screen.

This is the message from Dr. Agasa, which means that you are cooperating with the police investigation and are not available to take Conan with you for the time being, so he will take Conan to his house to stay for one night and will send Conan back tomorrow.

As a result, the bones that had just straightened up suddenly became loose again. He slowly lay down on his chair, and then spoke slowly.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. The kid went to stay at Dr. Agasa’s house today and will be back tomorrow… Besides, I don’t think there’s any need to worry about the kid. I think he can live much longer than us.”

“It was only when I was taking a statement at the police station today that I suddenly realized that this kid is really not that good at surviving. Every time he encounters a dangerous situation, he disappears, and when he reappears, the incident is over.”

“Back then, there were terrorists everywhere and bombs on the Silver Star. I was almost hit by the terrorists’ gunmen or blown away by the bombs. But that kid was injured everywhere and nothing happened…” Uncle Maori hadn’t finished his words when the door of Maori’s office was pushed open. The next moment, a rustic girl with two pigtails and a pair of black-framed glasses appeared in front of them.

Without waiting for Mouri Ran to say hello, the girl had already [locked] on Mouri Kogoro. She rushed to the desk, grabbed Mouri Kogoro’s hand holding the beer can with a crying voice, and then cried.

“Mr. Detective, please help me find my dad! I heard that you are a famous detective in Tokyo, so I specifically came to find you for help!”

“Oh, oh…ah?”

Kogoro Mouri looked at Ran Mouri in a daze, and Ran Mouri’s little face also showed the same confusion and helplessness. There was only one question in the minds of the father and daughter – who are you?

“My mother died when I was very young. My father is my only relative… If anything happens to my father, then I… wu… I…”

The girl’s tears dripped along the curve of her lenses and fell to the ground. Seeing her crying like this, Kogoro Mouri didn’t care about whether to rest or not. He immediately became serious and spoke seriously.

“I understand. Then I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, will accept your commission. Don’t worry, I will definitely find your father. So, Miss, can you tell me everything that happened?”

After getting a clear promise from Kogoro Mouri, the girl finally stopped crying. She sat on the sofa next to her, then rummaged in her cloth bag with trembling hands, and finally took out a photo.

Maori Ran took the photo for Maori Kogoro. She glanced at it and saw a fat man in a white shirt holding a black kitten. He looked familiar, but she didn’t know where she had seen him.

The photo soon reached the hands of Kogoro Mouri. He glanced at it and suddenly his eyes froze. He had seen this photo before. It was on the TV program that had just been broadcast. Isn’t this one of the people who died today?
Kenzo Hirota was shot dead by an unknown person!
Uncle Maori’s face instantly became extremely serious. For a moment, he didn’t know how to tell this result to the girl who had just stopped crying. This fact was too cruel for her.

But in the end, Kogoro Mouri sighed and decided to be the bad guy himself. He turned on the TV, tuned back to the news channel, and then seriously informed the girl.

“Your father… Kenzo Hirota has been killed in a shooting this afternoon. Sorry, miss, if you want to find your father, I can help you contact the Metropolitan Police Department so that you can see him for the last time.”

The girl was struck by lightning. She stood there in a daze. The shock and sadness on her face were definitely real. Finally, she just murmured something, turned around and rushed out of Maori’s office.

However, Kogoro Mouri had drunk beer and his senses were not very clear, so he did not hear clearly what the girl said, but Ran Mouri, who was closer to the girl, felt something strange.

Because the girl wasn’t talking about “father”…but “sister”?
At this time, the public security officer who was responsible for observing the Maori Office outside took out the walkie-talkie to inform his superiors that an unexpected visitor had appeared in the Maori Office, and his superiors quickly ordered an investigation into the matter.

The final result is surprising…
