Chapter 253 Confession and Concerns
For a long time, there has been a lot of debate about whether Kogoro Mouri knew Shinichi Kudo's identity, but there has never been a conclusion.
Some say that Uncle Mori's handling of cases reveals his indulgence of Conan, including being continuously anesthetized and having his voice impersonated to solve the case. Any normal person would have known something was wrong long ago.
Some say that Kogoro Mouri couldn't possibly know, otherwise, given his concern for his family and his separation from his wife to prevent retaliation, he would never tolerate Conan bringing threats to his life.
Yoya Kuromon didn't know the true story of the original work, but at least for now, he was certain that Kogoro Mouri knew, and his opinion on it was extremely strong!
"Kudo Yusaku! Today I'll give you some extra research experience in judo!"
Seeing Kogoro Mouri grabbing left and right, causing Yusaku Kudo to dodge in a flurry, and the battlefield was about to spill over onto the sofa, Haruya Kuromon quickly got up and hid by the wall.
"Hey! Kogoro, calm down. The most important thing right now is..."
"The most urgent thing right now is to give that brat who took advantage of my Ran, along with his old man, a good beating!" Filled with the grief and indignation of settling scores, Uncle Mori swung his iron fist and roared, "You bastard, who told you to take a bubble bath!"
"Huh?...Ugh!"
Kudo Yusaku was taken aback by what he heard, and then, taking advantage of the opening, he was punched hard in the stomach and fell onto the sofa.
Tsk tsk, how pathetic, he deserves it.
Kuromon Haruya happily drank the plain water prepared in the reception room.
That Yusaku Kudo is so wicked! How could he let his son sneak into the house of the girl he likes and take advantage of her? She has a mother who is known as the undefeated queen of the legal profession. Isn't she afraid that Conan will be sued and ruin his reputation?
It's just that Kogoro Mouri is relatively familiar with their family, so he can hold back.
Kuromon Haruya dared not imagine what would happen if he ever found out that Calvados was taking advantage of Sharon, even bathing and scrubbing his back...
Squeak—
The mineral water bottle instantly went from 0 to 8.
Kuromon Haruka, after a moment of reflection, looked gloomy: "Heh, heh heh heh, let's do an egg-dismantling quest first before explaining."
After delivering that punch, Kogoro Mouri's anger had subsided considerably. He grabbed Yusaku by the collar and grumbled, "What a troublesome father and son..."
"Bang!" "Kogoro~ Look how pretty Eri's dress is!"
After the sorority's party, Yukiko went shopping and, upon hearing that the incident at the game venue had been resolved, immediately came looking for Eri with her arm around her.
As soon as you open the door, you see this loving scene.
Yukiko Kudo blinked: "Huh?"
......
"Here, I just brewed some black tea. Everyone, calm down."
While the parents were talking, Kuromon Haruya found some tea leaves in the cabinet in the reception room, boiled water, washed the tea set, brewed some black tea, and peeled a pear for herself during the round where the boys and girls were beaten together. Only then did both sides finally calm down.
I must say, Attorney Kisaki truly lives up to her title as the Queen of Teitan; her aura just now was so imposing, she could practically be applying to the organization herself.
"Kuromon-kun, please sit down first and tell us the whole story. After all, you've been dragged into this too."
Eri thanked them for the tea, but only gave Haruya Kuromon a friendly look.
Not to mention the Kudo couple who concealed military intelligence, even after such a big incident, Kogoro Mouri didn't inform her at all. If we hadn't happened to run into them today, it's uncertain whether he would have told her in the end!
You're asking about Kuromon Haruya?
Our Black Gate consultant is young, only a few years out of college and just returned to the country when he enthusiastically rescued people and was passively drawn into danger. What did he do wrong?
Putting aside Izu's selfless act at this press conference, Ran and her mother had heard about this kind and gentle older brother before and had a very good impression of him.
The poor child, orphaned from a young age, and then affected by this as an adult, is still so considerate and sensible.
Eri felt a pang of pity: Since the Kudo couple couldn't find out, Kuromon-kun probably wasn't too deeply involved. She should advise him to withdraw as soon as possible and leave these dangerous matters to the adults.
"Okay."
Kuromon Haruya responded obediently, found a place to sit down, and quickly summarized the main plot:
The incidents involving Shinichi Kudo picking up a corpse, the Shinkansen bombing, Akemi Miyano's robbery, and Heiji Hattori's sex scandal...
"But the most thrilling one was the last director's memorial service. The sight of the entire industrial area exploding in an instant was truly spectacular, and Pisco almost..."
As he spoke, Kuromon Haruya suddenly came to his senses and closed his lips.
'Neither side seems to know that Haibara is Sherry. It's more interesting to reveal this later; it's too boring to explode all at once.'
Pulling himself out of his reverie, he picked up his teacup and gulped down the tea, letting out a long sigh. He then saw the complex and stunned expressions on both sets of parents' faces.
Parents: You mean you not only participated in every incident, but also helped protect our children from injury, went deep into the heart of the matter, and were the MVP every time?
And you're just a model youth passing by, completely unrelated to this matter?
After hearing about all the dangers, big and small, Eri Kisaki almost fainted: "Kuromon-kun, my Ran is truly grateful for your care..."
"It's alright, don't be embarrassed. I'm an adult, this is my own choice," Kuromon Haruya quickly replied politely.
What a joke! This is nothing at all. He, the one who started this, isn't even embarrassed yet!
Kogoro Mouri coughed lightly: "But on another note, I have two questions about this Noah's Ark kidnapping incident: First, is the Ark organization and the brewery the same force?"
"I've heard about it from acquaintances, so it shouldn't be." Kudo Yusaku didn't mention that the organization might be related to his family.
"Is that so..." Kogoro Mouri couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relieved. After the Kudo family concealed the truth, he wasn't too keen on revealing what had happened to his colleague. "Then, the second point!"
"That little girl named Ai Haibara, she was also a victim of drug use, right? I have some talent for firearms, I can tell if someone has ever handled a gun before."
Even if there were extenuating circumstances, Kogoro Mouri would never forget the image of that girl shooting Ran with a gun. A single shot piercing her heart was enough to demonstrate her cold-bloodedness and well-trained nature.
"..."
Yusaku Kudo and Haruya Kuromon exchanged a glance. The latter sighed helplessly and nodded in agreement: "That's right, she also shrunk after taking the drug. However, due to her own request, we cannot reveal her identity or information."
"Humph."
Kogoro Mouri snorted coldly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing: "In short, since you've found this matter to be particularly troublesome, hurry up and find a reason to take that brat away!"
Eri Kisaki, with a cold expression and arms crossed, said with equal determination: "As parents, we also need to worry about Ran's safety. Shinichi is still too impulsive."
“Okay.” Yukiko Kudo was happy to take her son back. “We will arrange the fake passport and the trip abroad as soon as possible.”
Seeing that both sides had reached a consensus, Haruya Kuromon had no choice but to accept the facts:
It seems his favorite childhood favorite—the daily life of the three-person agency team—is about to end...
...?
......
In the dead of night, Eri Kisaki accompanies Kogoro Mouri back to his office to visit Ran, and as usual, they bid farewell after their daughter's reluctant farewell.
After so many things happened, she needed to calmly consider whether she should go back to Xiaolan's side to take care of her. Fortunately, the night breeze was just right, so she walked back to her apartment.
"But Xiaolan, she's so old and still clings to a little girl, even using the lame excuse of her broken shoelace to keep her here... Oh well, it's because I, her mother, haven't spent enough time with her."
After thinking it over, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she finally took out her phone to send a message: [I'll tidy up the room a bit recently. When I have more free time, I'll try to visit Xiaolan sometime each week.]
Edit confirmed, send.
The thought of returning to the agency filled Eri Kisaki's heart with a mix of worry and anticipation. Her gaze wandered, and she inadvertently caught sight of an alleyway on the side of the street.
A tall figure in a black trench coat flashed past the street corner, his long silver hair almost reaching his calves.
"Gin!"
Eri Kisaki's expression hardened, and she stood still for a moment before pretending to be nonchalant and following after them.
Considering the other party appeared to be an assassin with some fighting ability, she sent a backup plan: [I think I saw Gin.]
On the streetlight, a crow watched her every move.
As she slowly stepped forward, Eri heard a faint accompaniment and someone softly reciting, "Little crow, why are you crying?"
The sharp knife silently pierced the skin.
"Well!"
Gin caught the slipping, dazed Eri Kisaki, and turned the blade to widen the wound before turning away without a second thought: "Ah, dealt with a nuisance."
'Damn it, the strength in my body is gradually slipping away...'
With her last ounce of strength, Eri Kisaki used her blood to leave the death message "Gin" on the inside of her flip phone.
"...Truly innocent and pitiful people." A gentle, compassionate voice, like that of a god or Buddha, rang out.
He picked up the phone with his gloved left hand, confirmed the message she left, and then put it down with satisfaction.
Kuromon Haruya waited quietly for a few seconds, and only after the bleeding was enough to cause shock did he slowly take out two vials of reagents.
They are both health byproducts developed by the organization; one tube is used to keep a dying person alive, while the other tube is used to block nerves and create a vegetative state.
Now, the driving force is to strengthen the unity of the two families on the Red side in dealing with the organization.
