In short, the purpose of Tatsumura Kimie's trip was to ask Maori Kogoro to investigate the fiancée of his nominal son Tatsumura Takayoshi, Katsuragi Sachiko.

The reason why he said nominally was because Tatsumura Kimie and diplomat Tatsumura were remarried, so Tatsumura Takayoshi was not his own flesh and blood, so some things were inconvenient to say.

But when Kogoro asked the reason for the investigation, Tatsumura Kimie explained that he didn't like his future daughter-in-law and was particularly suspicious of her character and personality, even though Katsuragi Sachiko had no stains on her resume.

Kogoro is very familiar with this kind of investigation commission, but he doesn't want to take it now. After all, the house is in a mess, and Conan is still running a fever, so he is in no mood to investigate.

After learning about Kogoro's concerns, Tatsumura Kimie's solution was quite simple and crude, and he threw out two large stacks of cash directly from his handbag.

"This is a deposit, and there will be more after the matter is completed. You don't have to worry about the child's problem. We have a special doctor in our Tatsumura family. If you are willing to take this commission, I will ask the doctor to prepare it now."

"Excuse me, can we leave now?"

————————————————————

"Really, why do you two have to come with us?"

On the way to Tatsumura's house, Kogoro couldn't help but complain to Kazuha and Hattori Heiji who were squeezed in the back seat, and the Osaka duo gave their own explanations.

Heiji: "As the top high school detective in Kansai, how can I miss the case? I want to be the first to solve the case to prove that my reasoning ability is better than Kudo Shinichi."

Kazuha: "It's all because of Heiji that Conan has become like this, so at least let me take care of Conan and reduce my guilt."

[After talking for so long... both of you are still focusing on me...]

At this moment, the burning sensation in Conan's abdomen has subsided a little, but he is still a little dizzy, and the picture in front of him has doubled.

Since he is already unconscious, Conan is now held in Xiaolan's arms, so this small movement is naturally felt by Xiaolan, so Xiaolan hurriedly comforted him: "Shin... Conan, hold on a little longer, when we get to the place, the doctor will treat you, you will get better soon, it's okay."

Although the picture in front of him has become blurred, Xiaolan's expression of worrying about crying is so clear, in order to prevent Xiaolan from worrying so much, Conan forced a smile.

Tatsumura Kimie, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, saw this scene in the rearview mirror, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

[The child is already so sick, and the parents are not around. They are really unqualified parents... But I am not qualified to say that. ]

After about a quarter of an hour, Kogoro finally drove to the Tatsumura family's house. It was a three-story western-style building. It seemed that this diplomat Tatsumura was a person who knew how to enjoy life.

"Come with me."

Tatsumura Kimie opened the door and got out of the car first, and Kogoro and his group followed closely behind.

"Squeak."

"Mom, are these your friends?"

Just when Tatsumura Kimie was about to open the door and go in, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and then a pair of young men and women holding arms appeared in front of them instantly.

It is not difficult to analyze from the young man's address to Tatsumura Kimie that he is the biological son of diplomat Tatsumura and Tatsumura Takayoshi, the stepson of Tatsumura Kimie.

As for the identity of the young woman, even a blind man could tell that it was the Katsuragi Sachiko that Tatsumura Kimie had entrusted Kogoro to investigate.

Tatsumura Kimie said without any emotion: "Yes, an old friend I haven't seen for a long time. It just so happens that his family and friends are here, so I invited them all together."

After giving a simple answer, Tatsumura Kimie glanced at Katsuragi Sachiko on the side, and his tone suddenly became much colder: "What are you doing here?"

Seeing that Tatsumura Kimie's attitude towards her was somewhat unfriendly, Katsuragi Sachiko was a little embarrassed, but she still greeted her politely: "Hello, auntie, I just want to visit you, after all, this period is the peak season for colds..."

"I'm in good health, you don't need to worry about me."

Before Katsuragi Sachiko finished speaking, Tatsumura Kimie interrupted her with an impatient look on her face, which immediately made Katsuragi Sachiko at a loss.

When she came, she accidentally saw Conan, who was unconscious in Xiaolan's arms.

"Does this child have a fever? How about I take him to a room for a checkup? I won the first prize when I was studying at the medical university and have experience in diagnosis."

While speaking, Katsuragi Sachiko wanted to reach out and take Conan over. Seeing this, Tatsumura Gongjiang quickly grabbed Katsuragi Sachiko's hand and pushed it back.

"You don't need to do anything extra. I have already contacted the doctor. You, an intern, should not mess around. I will take this child to the room to rest now. You are not allowed to disturb him if you have nothing to do."

After a round of scolding, Tatsumura Gongjiang walked quickly in front to lead the way. Katsuragi Sachiko, who was scolded for no reason, suddenly looked extremely aggrieved. Tears kept flowing in her eyes, but she just held on and didn't fall.

Takayoshi Tatsumura, who was standing by, felt distressed when he saw his fiancée like this, and immediately hugged her to comfort her, while glaring at Takayoshi Tatsumura's back fiercely.

[Why are you being so arrogant as a second wife? I'll send you to the worst nursing home and torture you to death when I have the chance! ]

When he first entered Takayoshi's house, he saw such a "happy" scene, and Kogoro suddenly felt a little regretful, but it was hard to find a doctor now, so he could only grit his teeth and face it

So Kogoro and his party entered Takayoshi Tatsumura's house one after another, and at the same time, they did not forget to say hello to Takayoshi Tatsumura and his wife, and when Xiaolan came in with Conan, Conan, who was originally unconscious, opened his eyes instantly!

[This smell... this feeling... there is Orpheus! 】

"Conan, what are you doing!"

Using all his strength to break free from Xiaolan's arms, Conan rushed to the second floor at the fastest speed according to the direction of Orpheus' breath, and soon stopped in front of a room on the second floor.

"It's here!"

After determining the location, Conan immediately stood on tiptoe to open the door, suddenly!

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

The door was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and Conan was directly knocked against the wall by the door, and then fell heavily on the floor.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

In the distance, Conan seemed to hear a burst of hurried footsteps, and he forced himself to look up and saw only a back figure flashing in the corridor.

"Orpheus..."

Conan struggled to stand up, but the burning sensation in his abdomen suddenly intensified, and the scene in front of him began to become dizzy.

"At this moment..."

"This... this... help me!"

Hearing the sudden cry for help, Conan looked in the direction of the sound with difficulty, and saw an obese middle-aged man sitting on the ground with a look of panic on his face, and the next moment he turned into ashes.

However, the misfortune was not over yet. A strong wind suddenly blew out of the open window of the study. In almost a flash, the ashes on the ground were blown all over the room, and soon there was no trace of them.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Conan realized that he was still a step slow after all, and punched the floor with a punch in anger, but the next moment his head suddenly buzzed!

Conan only felt that the world in front of him was dark, and he fell asleep the next second.
