Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 560 Playing with the famous detectives
There was a loud "bang", and then flames shot up into the sky. The night, which was originally a little cold, suddenly became warm.

All this happened before everyone had time to catch up. After a brief silence, Hakuba Tan was the first to turn around and look at Maori Kogoro.

Then, Ikumi Gunda, the maid, as well as Xiaolan and Conan, all looked towards him, but it was more like staring than looking.

Kaito's mouth twitched, and he raised his hands, his voice sounding bitter and depressed, "It's not me."

"dad."

Xiaolan was still in shock and held her forehead with a headache. Conan certainly did not suspect Mouri Kogoro. It was just that it was the car that Mouri Kogoro checked, but now there was a problem, which led to the death of Chima Nozomi right under their noses.

No matter what, Kogoro Mori is the main person responsible.

However, the detective's intuition told him that things were not that simple. Although Mouri Kogoro was usually not very reliable, Conan still didn't want to believe that Mouri Kogoro could be so careless at this time. Before tossing the coin, Mouri Kogoro had a one in five chance of getting into the car by himself.

Could it be that someone had tampered with the road outside?

Thinking of this, Conan slowly came back to his senses. He glanced at Shimizu Koji inadvertently, but found that Shimizu Koji's gaze had just been withdrawn from the road outside.

Coincidentally, it seems Qingshui thinks so too.

The fire was still bright, and Conan didn't hesitate. He immediately took a step forward and rushed into the rain.

"Conan!?"

Xiaolan exclaimed, but to her surprise, Conan took the lead without looking back, and Hakuba Tan and Gunda Ikumi immediately followed behind. When she wanted to call Conan to look back again, Mouri Kogoro also rushed out like a gust of wind.

In a blink of an eye, she, the maid Ms. Ishihara, and Kōji Shimizu were the only ones left in the backyard of the annex.

It was also thanks to Koji Shimizu that he did not follow, otherwise Xiaolan would not dare to stay here with Aki Ishihara.

"Qiyomizu-kun, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiaolan, are you going to ask me why I didn't follow?"

"Uh, yeah."

Xiaolan nodded hesitantly, with a look of uneasiness and curiosity in her eyes.

"That's because, if there really are any clues over there, they are enough, and I certainly can't just leave you two girls here and ignore you. Otherwise, if something happens to you by accident when we turn around—"

"Hey, how could that be, Shimizu-kun, don't make such a joke."

Xiaolan already had the words "so scary" written on her face, and although Ishihara Aki didn't say anything, her expression was similar.

Shimizu Koji smiled and didn't continue. He was certainly not joking or teasing Xiaolan. He was not in that mood, even though Xiaolan was now his daughter in a sense.

Looking from afar at the detectives rushing around in the rain and running along the road, Koji Shimizu was not worried that anything would happen to them. It was obvious that the guy hiding in the dark did not have the strength to fight them head-on, so he could only defeat them one by one.

"Come on, let's go in first. I think they might need a while."

"Uh, but..."

"Xiaolan, don't you feel cold? If you catch a cold now, it will be a serious matter."

It only took Koji Shimizu two sentences to bring the maid and Xiaolan back to the annex. The three of them returned to the lounge again. No one spoke, but in the silence, Xiaolan and Ishihara Aki's eyes were secretly fixed on Koji Shimizu. This was the sense of security that they subconsciously recognized.

Twenty minutes later, footsteps sounded outside the door, and then, led by Maori Kogoro, the four detectives, three big and one small, all returned to the lounge intact. "Dad, Conan, how did you get into this state?"

Xiaolan stood up from her seat, her eyes full of concern. Conan and Maori Kogoro were not only soaked, but their hair and bodies were also covered with mud and weeds. They looked like a refugee father and son.

"Well, Miss Xiaolan, if you only care about your family, it will make us sad~." Qiangda Ikumi jokingly replied. Xiaolan looked embarrassed for a moment, and then she was defeated by the smile of the mature big sister.

Hakuba walked at the back and closed the door. His situation was better than Conan and Mouri Kogoro. After entering the lounge, he thought for a moment and then walked towards Shimizu Koji together with Mouri Kogoro and Conan.

For some reason, although he felt that he could handle the case, seeing that Kogoro Mouri and Conan both trusted, or were convinced by Shimizu Koji, he subconsciously wanted to hear Shimizu Koji's opinions.

Of course he had his own pride, but faced with three consecutive murders, it would be foolish for him to still have any pride and plan to act alone.

"Hey, I'm soaked all over. I need to take a good bath. Otherwise, I'll catch a cold. It's not good to get sick in this state."

Qingtian Yumi lifted her wet hair and said with a sigh.

When Ishihara Aki heard her words, her maid instinct made her immediately respond: "Ms. Yumi, do you need my help to boil some hot water?"

"Well, of course, but it can't be you, it's us. Come on, I'll go with you."

Ishihara Aki immediately showed a look of gratitude and bowed in agreement.

Xiaolan also wanted to help, but Qingtian Yumi pointed to the men who were gathered over there to discuss something, and then pointed to the tea on the table. With a blink of an eye, Xiaolan realized what was going on and nodded to show that she understood.

"Would it be a bit strange to take a shower at this time?"

As soon as Ikumi Haneda and Aki Ishihara left, Kaito couldn't help but worry.

Although Hakuba Tan and Conan didn't say anything, their eyes clearly showed that they agreed with Kaito.

But Shimizu Koji chose to change the subject directly, "So, you didn't find anything?"

"Forehead"

In just a second, the faces of the three people became a little embarrassed and they all shook their heads. Kaito even had depression written all over his face.

"It should be there, but it shouldn't be there."

Of course, there should be clues such as traps on the road, but what shouldn't be is that there are no traps on the road, and the car he inspected can still fall down.
Kaito couldn't accept it, it even made him feel like he was being played with.

"In fact, the problem is very simple."

"Huh?!" Conan widened his eyes in confusion. Hakuba had just taken off his wet coat and his movements froze in mid-air. As for Kaito, a raging fire of thirst for knowledge was already burning in his eyes.

Shimizu Koji didn't intend to keep the secret. He took a sip of water and said directly: "I believe in Uncle Maori's inspection, and I also believe in the investigation and tracking of you detectives."

"And since there is no problem with all of this, then isn't it obvious where the problem lies?"

"Or do you not believe in yourself?"

The three people's faces suddenly became a little strange. They had thought about what Shimizu Koji said, but...
"But Koji, brother, Mr. Mogi's death."
