Shiho Miyano leading a team to break into Shinichi Kudo's house was illegal.
Fortunately, they didn't steal anything, and left quickly after a simple search.
Suzuki Byakuya turned a blind eye, pretending not to see anything.
After sending Shiho Miyano back to the pharmaceutical factory, this overtime work was declared over.
…
The weekend arrived in a blink of an eye, and the temperature still didn't drop.
It was still spring a few days ago, but today it's directly turned into winter.
Byakuya put on a relatively thick black coat and took a taxi to the Mouri Detective Agency.
At 8:50 am, Suzuki Sonoko arrived to meet him.
Ran Mouri, along with the little ghost Conan from last time, came downstairs and greeted the two of them:
"Good morning, Sonoko. Good morning, Mr. Suzuki."
"Morning, by the way, how are we going to get there, by taxi?"
Suzuki Sonoko's driver was temporarily transferred, and they couldn't possibly walk there.
Ran Mouri shook her head, her single horn of hair sticking up high:
"No need, my father is driving today."
Speaking of Mouri, Mouri arrived. Her father, Kogoro Mouri, yawned and walked down the stairs.
"Achoo~"
Because of the spring snow the night before, Conan caught a cold.
He was wearing a thick white mask and looked extremely listless.
Seeing his condition, Ran Mouri advised:
"Conan, why don't you stay at home."
"No way, Ran-nee, I want to go out to play, I want to go out to play."
Conan was acting cute and coquettish, while also cautiously glancing at Suzuki Byakuya.
He still didn't understand what this person's relationship was with the mysterious organization.
Of course, all of the above are empty words.
The main reason is that Byakuya is tall and handsome.
As the old vinegar king of Mifa, Conan is afraid that Ran Mouri will lose control.
Perhaps one trip, the childhood sweethearts will run off with someone, he absolutely will not allow this to happen!
Ran Mouri pretended to be angry and tried to persuade him:
"Be good, stay home and watch the house, wait for you to recover from your cold and then you can go out to play."
"No way, no way, I want to go!"
This tantrum throwing attitude, was not cute at all.
Ran Mouri couldn't resist his soft begging and had to temporarily compromise.
Wait until they get to the meeting point, and then have Dad drive Conan home.
With the candidates decided, they were ready to leave.
Kogoro Mouri put out his cigarette on the ground and stepped on it, inserted the key and started the engine.
The temperature plummeted today, there should be no business.
Leave the phone number at the door, if there's business, someone will naturally contact them.
Suzuki Byakuya sat in the passenger seat, letting the kids sit in the back.
Conan originally had objections to this, but Ran was too fragrant. Sitting on her lap, he completely forgot about resisting.
The car headed west towards the outskirts of Mifa City.
Snowflakes still fell from the sky, the ever-changing weather was unpredictable.
Halfway through the journey, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly got interested.
She took out a spare red rope and ring, and performed a close-up magic trick for Ran Mouri.
Conan saw through the trick in an instant, his small eyes were filled with disdain.
If Byakuya wasn't there, he might have directly spoiled the show.
Ran Mouri, on the other hand, was very supportive, clapping her hands and acting very surprised.
No matter how good or bad the magic performance was, she would encourage it, after all, this was the result of Sonoko's hard work:
"By the way, the people we're meeting today, they all seem to be magic enthusiasts."
Getting praise from Ran, Suzuki Sonoko was very happy:
"Yes, we all met online, we're just internet friends, you know."
Kogoro Mouri, holding the steering wheel, teased:
"I really didn't expect that the daughter of the Suzuki Zaibatsu would actually use computers to make friends."
Sonoko wasn't willing to be outdone and immediately retorted:
"Come on, it's the internet era now, I think your office should also buy one."
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Ran Mouri cleverly changed the topic:
"I also didn't expect that you, Sonoko, would actually make friends online, and even become passionate about magic."
Byakuya remembered that last time in the tropical amusement park, his cousin said her idol was Kidd, so he chimed in:
"I say, you like magic, you wouldn't be because of Kaito Kid, would you?"
"No way... what are you guys looking at me for, hahaha."
Suzuki Sonoko's forced smile had already betrayed her true thoughts.
Thinking about his cousin's face-dog attribute, liking Kaito Kid really fits her style.
"Actually, I met an extraordinary person online."
Ran Mouri didn't understand, and looked at Sonoko in confusion:
"An extraordinary person?"
"Yes, his name is Takatsugu Doi."
Mentioning this person, Suzuki Sonoko clasped her hands in prayer, her face filled with infatuation:
"He's a regular visitor of the Magic Enthusiasts Alliance, he's not only eloquent, witty and humorous, but also very intelligent. If I'm not mistaken, he must be a handsome man with both talent and looks."
"So, you haven't met yet?"
"Yes, this is the first time we're meeting. I plan to perform the magic I just did, to surprise him."
Speaking of online dating, Suzuki Byakuya was also a veteran before he transmigrated.
Those women who looked beautiful in the photos, most of them turned into tiger tanks when they met in person.
It's really indescribable, too much to say and it all makes me cry.
Occasionally mentioning that people look different in photos, the woman would also make excuses.
She would say that a fruit-flavored orange drink with only 5% fruit can be called a pure fruit drink, and that the photos are only 5% her, wouldn't it still be her?
Thinking back on these heartbreaking experiences, Byakuya couldn't help but remind her:
"Meeting in person has risks, be cautious with online dating."
Suzuki Sonoko pouted, not taking his words to heart.
The car drove into the mountains, the surrounding human population became sparse.
The vast snow covered the earth, like a white ocean.
"We're here."
The car stopped in front of a suspension bridge, there was no road ahead, and they couldn't drive any further.
Ran got out of the car first, wanting to leave Conan in the car and have Kogoro Mouri take him back.
Unexpectedly, the little ghost was very clever, he got out from Suzuki Sonoko's side.
"Conan, be good, go back home and rest."
"No way, no way, Ran-nee, I want to watch magic!"
Sonoko saw that the little ghost was very stubborn and smiled:
"It's fine, having one more person will make it more lively."
Byakuya took out the luggage from the trunk, seeing his cousin's statement, he joined in and said:
"It's fine with one more person, I'll protect them."
Kogoro Mouri snorted, sneering at this statement.
His daughter was the national karate champion, she needed your protection, kid?
"Okay, then I'll drop you off here. Ran, remember to take care of yourself."
"Dad, I know."
Watching everyone walk onto the suspension bridge, Kogoro Mouri waved his hand and drove away.
…
Conan wasn't feeling well, if Suzuki-san hadn't come, maybe he would have gone back with him.
But the problem is that he's here, he can't just ignore him.
Ran Mouri and Suzuki Sonoko came out for a gathering, they were going to spend the night outside.
He wouldn't watch Ran and Suzuki-san have any chance of sparks flying between them.
I, Shinichi Kudo, will never give up!
The icy cold wind howled, making people's cheeks flush red.
Byakuya looked at the snowy white landscape, sighing in his heart:
"Such a quiet place, there shouldn't be any homicides, right."
