The old man was so tired that he had to wait for the next day.

"A-choo! A-choo!"

"Oh my... I'm so sad..."

In the bedroom that was as magnificent as a palace, Sonoko, who was suffering from a high fever, was lying alone on the bed, while Suzuki Shiro and Suzuki Tomoko went out to discuss international business again, as if they were going to build a satellite or something.

"Alas~ I'm the only one left again..."

Looking at the empty luxurious room, Sonoko couldn't help but feel lonely in her beautiful eyes. Although there was a special medical team to take care of her health, this could not replace the company of relatives.

"Are you feeling better, Sonoko?"

"Sister Sonoko, we're here to see you~"

Just as Sonoko was about to close her eyes and rest, Xiaolan and Conan's voices suddenly rang out, and the next moment the two of them pushed the door open.

"Xiaolan, and little brat!"

Seeing the two of them coming, Sonoko's originally dim eyes instantly brightened up, but then she seemed to have realized something and quickly covered herself with a quilt.

"Don't come over! It would be terrible if I infect you! Ahem!"

Xiaolan comforted, "Don't worry, Sonoko. Before we came in, the doctor at home had already vaccinated us, so we won't be infected."

"Really?"

Sonoko carefully poked her head out of the quilt and confirmed it with some disbelief.

However, the next second, Conan trotted to sit on the bed, then showed an innocent smile and said: "Sister Sonoko, don't worry, sister Xiaolan and I are both healthy. If we are unlucky enough to get sick, then please take care of us~"

"Okay, you hateful little brat actually has bad intentions! Let me see how I will deal with you~"

Holding Conan in her arms, Sonoko performed the magic of spinning without saying a word, which immediately made Conan howl [miserably].

Like a bandit, Sonoko opened her mouth and laughed heartily: "Wow ha ha ha! How about it, you little brat, do you know how powerful Miss Sonoko is!"

Seeing that Sonoko had regained her former vitality, Conan was secretly happy in his heart, so he continued to perform: "Yametie! Yametie! Sister Sonoko, please let me go! I know I was wrong!"

"Hehehe! It's too late to know my mistake now! Come on, little brat! Let sister smell it~"

As soon as the voice fell, Sonoko forced Conan's little face to her mouth.

"Yametie!"

Conan was really scared of Sonoko's banditry this time, but facing Sonoko's burst of primitive power, Edogawa had no strength to escape, and could only watch Sonoko's red lips getting closer and closer to him.

"Okay, Sonoko, stop bullying Conan. He's scared of you."

Watching her best friend hugging her shrunken boyfriend and kissing him, Xiaolan, who felt the green grassland on her head, couldn't bear it and immediately stopped Sonoko's behavior.

"Oh, what's the matter? Anyway, this kid won't suffer any loss..."

Puffing up her cheeks and muttering softly, Sonoko suddenly launched a sneak attack before returning Conan to Xiaolan!

"Mu!"

Blinking~

Looking at the lip prints on Conan's little face, Xiaolan fell into a dead silence.

Was she... being confronted by a minotaur?

"Wahahaha! It's me! I won!"

Completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, Sonoko laughed so hard that she lay on the bed and kept cooing, feeling sincerely happy for the decisive step she took.

"Beep!"

Just when the bedroom was in an indescribable atmosphere, Faiz's phone suddenly rang urgently. Conan hurriedly used his eyes to hint to Xiaolan to put him down, and Xiaolan did not hesitate too much, and then put Conan down with a complicated expression.

And the moment he landed, Conan hurriedly ran out at the fastest speed.

Sonoko tilted her head in confusion: "What's wrong with this kid? Why is he so anxious all of a sudden?"

"Maybe it was a message from a classmate. After all, children nowadays are very playful."

After helping Conan to cover up, Xiaolan sat down on the bed, but for some reason, this time she actually felt like she didn't want to look Sonoko in the eye. This happened once in more than ten years of friendship.

[Calm down, Sonoko... Sonoko doesn't know that Conan is Shinichi, there's no need to be so serious...]

Seeing Xiaolan's expression was also indescribably weird, she was originally fascinated

Confused Yuanzi suddenly felt like she couldn't think straight, but Yuanzi, who was carefree by nature, didn't take it too seriously, but directly grabbed Xiaolan's hands.

Without any psychological preparation, Xiaolan was frightened: "Sonoko, what are you doing? You scared me?"

"Hehe~"

Sonoko chuckled first, then said her purpose: "I heard that Xiaolan arranged this stage performance very well, so I decided to treat you to a concert as a reward, how about~"

"Concert? But I don't understand?"

"It's okay, I don't understand either, but isn't it just a face?"

Openly admitting the fact that she lacks artistic talent, Sonoko quickly added: "I heard that the singer is a female singer named Akiba Reiko. Every one of her concerts is hard to get a ticket. If it weren't for the venue of this concert being the music hall invested by my family, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get a ticket."

———————————————

Outside the Metropolitan Police Department building, Officer Takagi was standing outside the door and looking around, as if waiting for someone to come.

"Why haven't you come yet? Did something happen on the road?"

Looking anxiously at both sides of the intersection, Gao Mu suddenly found a small black dot that was getting bigger and bigger, and the next moment it came to him with a strong wind.

"What happened, Officer Gao Mu?"

The person who came was none other than Conan, who was riding the skateboard specially developed by Dr. Agasa.

Seeing Conan coming, Gao Mu immediately smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Conan, you are finally here! I thought something happened to you on the road."

"Sorry, I originally wanted to ride the mobile Pegasus, but I was worried that it would be too conspicuous, so I asked Dr. Agasa for this skateboard."

Putting the skateboard away and putting it on his back, Conan looked at Gao Mu with a serious face: "What happened, Officer Gao Mu? Did you find a case related to Orphino?"

Officer Gao Mu lowered his head with a guilty expression: "Sorry Conan, it is indeed because of the case that you came here, but it has nothing to do with Orphino."

"What?"

"Come with me first, I'll tell you Conan on the way."

Conan nodded gently: "Okay."

After a moment

"Serial murders?"

"That's right, six serious serial murders occurred in the surrounding counties centered on Tokyo. When the six victims were killed, the murderer took away some personal belongings and left a mahjong tile beside them. But from the current investigation, the meaning of such behavior has not been found."

On the way to the conference hall, Takagi explained the serial murders in detail from beginning to end, and even gave Conan the photos of evidence and related information that he had secretly taken.

(It's convenient to have someone inside!)

Looking carefully at the information on the photo, Conan couldn't help but frown slightly. Generally speaking, the most basic principle of serial murders is that the victims have something in common, just like Jack the Ripper's murder targets, almost all of them are prostitutes in that kind of place.

But this is not the case with these six victims. They have nothing in common in terms of gender, age, address, and occupation. Even the death of the sixth case is different from that of the victims of the first five cases. The victim died in a traffic accident due to tampering with the brakes. The other five were killed with a knife after being stunned by an electric shock gun.

If this is a whim of a murderer, the nature of the case is completely different. After all, no one knows when the next crime will be committed.

While Conan was sorting out these six murders, Officer Takagi took him to the door of the conference hall.

Takagi urged: "Conan, you will come in with me to listen to the case report later. Don't run around. Do you understand?"

"No problem."

Conan made an OK gesture, and the next moment Takagi gently pushed open the door of the conference room.

When Conan saw the heroes in the conference room, he was stunned.

Why are all the people here familiar!
