The young man is actually myself?!

Conan's eyes widened and he looked at Takagi Wataru who was reporting seriously with a look of disbelief on his face.

Is that a mistake?

"Is it wrong?"

Before Conan could ask the question in his mind, Mouri Kogoro on the side took the initiative to ask.

Although from the perspective of his peers, Mouri Kogoro couldn't bear to see this rich second generation destroying the jobs of middle-aged people like him who needed to support their families just for fun.

But from the perspective of his prospective son-in-law, he still trusted Kudo Shinichi's character and would never get involved with a suspicious guy.

What's more, this is a vicious police assault case. Once involved, it is no joke.

But Takagi Wataru reiterated with a 120% serious expression, "I asked very clearly and confirmed it with the clerk many times."

"She said it was high school detective Kudo Shinichi, the one who was always on TV and in newspapers some time ago..."

When Conan heard this, he was stunned.

ah?

Is there such a downside to high exposure?

But that person absolutely cannot be me!

Admit your mistake!

It’s definitely a mistake!

Just when Conan was about to defend himself, Mao Lilan couldn't hold back anymore and said anxiously: "I must have seen it wrong!"

"That person can't be Shinichi's!"

Conan turned to look at Mao Lilan, with relief in his eyes.

Yep!

That person can't be me...

However, Mao Lilan's defense was very pale in front of the police who told the facts and looked at the evidence.

Manager Matsumoto looked solemn. After thinking for a few seconds, he looked at Mao Lilan and said, "Little girl from the Maori family, Kudo Shinichi has not appeared in public during this time. Do you know where he has gone?"

"Ah? This..." Mao Lilan was speechless for a moment and looked embarrassed.

Because Kudo Shinichi never revealed his specific location when he called during this time, he just said that he had an important commission and couldn't leave for the time being.

The experienced manager Matsumoto saw the answer from Mao Lilan's face and said: "It seems that you don't know exactly where he is now and what he is doing..."

"In this case, our police must summon him for investigation."

Manager Matsumoto's eyes were majestic and his tone was unquestionable.

Although the other police officers at the scene had some friendship with Kudo Shinichi, especially the Megure Police Department.

But the official hierarchy was so overwhelming that no one dared to stand up against Manager Matsumoto.

As a result, the police had no choice but to persuade Mao Lilan.

With a comforting smile on his face, Memu looked at Mao Lilan, "Xiaolan, since there is a witness to this case who saw Brother Kudo, please call him here..."

"But..." For some reason, Mao Lilan, who hadn't seen Shinichi for a long time, felt a little nervous.

Obviously she should have confidence in Kudo Shinichi's character and believe that her childhood sweetheart will not be involved in this case.

Sato continued to advise: "Don't worry, Xiaolan, our police will not miss a bad person, nor will we mistakenly arrest a good person."

"If it's a misunderstanding, just come over and clear it up..."

Mao Lilan clutched her phone and remained silent.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Mouri Kogoro, who had always had a serious face, spoke.

"Xiaolan, call that guy!"

Mao Lilan turned to look at her father, "Dad..."

"What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid either. No one knows that boy's character better than you."

Mouri Kogoro's words should have warmed the heart of a certain dwarf, but he didn't expect that his future father-in-law would think so highly of him in his heart.

But the point is, Conan is really scared now!

It was not that he was afraid of being found to have any connection with this case, but it was really inconvenient for him to come over and be questioned by the police.

If you take the temporary antidote developed by Hui Yuan Ai and then come here to be investigated, it means that you will appear in front of many people.

Although Gin is no longer here, there are still others in the organization who remember that Kudo Shinichi has been executed by the organization.

I'm afraid it wouldn't be good to show up in public at this time, right?

Moreover, this case is related to the organization's "brother-in-law", so it is bound to attract the organization's attention.

Under such circumstances, it is even more impossible for me to appear in public...

Just when Conan was thinking about how to deal with it, Mao Lilan, under the persuasion of everyone, had already picked up the phone and started dialing the number.

Currently, the phone number of Kudo Shinichi is only known to a few people including Mao Lilan, Dr. Agasa, and the Kudo couple.

Oops!

Conan quickly took a few steps back, hid in an uninhabited corner of the underground garage, adjusted the bow-tie voice changer to Kudo Shinichi's voice, picked up the phone, and waited for the answer.

After seeing the screen light up, he waited for a few seconds before pressing the answer button.

"Xiaolan..."

"Shinichi!"

Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Mao Lilan's tone became obviously excited, "Xinyi, where are you now?"

"I?"

Conan was stunned. Although he thought Xiaolan would ask him this, he hadn't figured out how to make it up yet.

"Why are you asking this suddenly? Haha..."

Faced with Kudo Shinichi's awkward smile, Mao Lilan quickly said solemnly, "Shinichi, there is a case here at the Mihua Department Store..."

Before Mao Lilan could finish asking, Maori Kogoro next to him grabbed the phone and asked in a very serious tone, "Boy, where were you this morning? What were you doing? Is there anyone who can prove it?"

This is the standard tactic of police interrogation. Instead of revealing the case details to the suspect first, they first ask for the suspect’s alibi.

However, as someone who has been at the scene, Conan certainly knows the facts of the case.

But for now, he still had to pretend not to know, and replied in his usual tone of voice: "Ah? There's nothing special about this morning, I'm just doing the client's entrustment..."

Mouri Kogoro continued to ask, "Where did you make the commission?"

"exist……"

Conan rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of a good place where he would never have to show up and where it would be difficult to be seen through.

"I'm in England!"

"England?" Moori Kogoro looked puzzled, "What are you doing there?"

Conan used Kudo Shinichi's voice to make an impatient tone, "As I said, it's the client's request..."

"But uncle, don't ask what the specific commission is, it needs to be kept confidential."

"That's right! Why are you calling all of a sudden to ask what these people are doing?"

Mouri Kogoro was a little stunned, thinking that his future son-in-law could already prove his innocence since he was in England.

After all, even if you take the fastest passenger plane at present, it is impossible to shuttle to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on the other side of the ocean within a few hours.

Just when Mouri Kogoro felt that Kudo Shinichi's suspicion had been cleared, and was about to hang up the phone with a casual joke, Manager Matsumoto suddenly spoke again.

"How can he prove that he is now in the UK?"

"Ah?" Mouri Kogoro was stunned, how can he prove this thing?

On the other side of the phone, Conan vaguely heard Manager Matsumoto's voice. After reviewing the current situation, he knew that this serious and rigid policeman must prove that he was in the UK.

An idea struck him, and he quickly adjusted the bow-tie voice changer to the voice of an adult man, and said in proficient English: "Hello, Could you take a photo for us?"

After speaking, Conan quickly turned the gear behind the bow and adjusted his voice.

"Me?"

"OKay!"

"Uncle, if there is nothing else, I will hang up!"

When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he quickly spoke, "Hello? Hello!"

The only reply he got was a busy tone.

"He died..."

Mouri Kogoro put down the phone and explained: "It seemed that a foreigner was looking for him, and then this guy hung up the phone..."
