Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 162: The Battle of the Reasoning King (2)

After a heated discussion, Kogoro Mori finally gave a strange smile and signaled everyone to be quiet and listen to him. As the oldest and most senior person present, everyone still gave him face.

"Well, let me give you a suggestion. Let's have a competition. Whoever wins gets to go wherever they want...!"

"Contest…?"

The two inviters, Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji, were stunned for a moment, then looked at Mouri Kogoro eagerly, hoping that he would continue speaking.

"It just so happens that Inspector Megure asked me to help investigate the murder of a toy company president. Let's go check out the scene after dinner. Inspector Megure just texted me saying he's almost here. Then we can see who can find the murderer first and the method he used...!"

Feeling everyone's eager gazes, Kogoro Mouri didn't keep anyone in suspense and told everyone everything directly.

But not everyone is looking forward to it. Only the childhood sweethearts and Xiaolan are looking forward to it. The others are relatively indifferent and just follow the host's wishes...

"I see. This idea seems very good to me. That's what we've decided...!"

Hattori Heiji didn't expect that there would be a plan delivered to his door, so he quickly made the decision while no one objected.

"Heiji...! How could you do this...! I'm doomed to fail if I keep doing this...!"

Toyama Kazuha realized it later and felt wronged all of a sudden, but she didn't realize that no one was forcing her to disagree with this matter. It can only be said that she subconsciously listened to Hattori Heiji...

"Don't worry, Kazuha. With my sleeping Kogoro here, we'll definitely go to this Takarazuka...!"

Maori Kogoro said this with a serious expression, very coolly, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. Anyone could tell what he was up to...

"Well, uncle, you can team up with them, and I'll team up with this brat. What do you say, brat...?"

Hattori Heiji also laughed. He didn't expect that the rookie Kogoro Mori would actually help Kazuha and the others. Wouldn't that mean they were doomed to lose?

But to be absolutely sure, I have to quickly pull this perverted brat over to my side. There's no way he'll admit that Kudo's reasoning is better than his...

Conan, who was watching the show and not paying any attention to these things, didn't expect to be called. He actually didn't want to go anywhere. He just wanted to read the new book he just bought.

However, under the pressure of Hattori Heiji hugging his neck, he nodded in agreement against his will. At this time, he remembered that there was still a invisible person who had not expressed his opinion, so he kicked the ball out again.

"Brother Lantian, why don't you say anything? Where do you want to go...?"

Hua Lantian, who was also eating and watching the show, had to stop the knife and fork in his hand when he heard the malicious child's voice, and replied lightly,

"Ayako can go wherever she wants, but I'm not participating in reasoning contests...!"

Conan, whose problem of being tricked was cleverly resolved by Hua Lantian, cursed inwardly, then responded to him with a smile and a baby voice.

But he changed his mind and felt lucky that Hua Lantian, the least likely player, wasn't participating. This way, the odds of winning were still on their side. Deep down, he didn't want to go to Takarazuka with that old pervert...

After some thought, Ayako decided to go to Koshien. She wanted to get an autograph from a competitor for her father. She spoke to her two younger sisters apologetically, and they agreed.
