8 Case Closed: The Strongest Uncle!

Chapter 8: New Mission!

"Also, since you're here, I will let you attend school."

Ran also echoed on the side: "Yes, Conan will also go to school together tomorrow."

After nodding his head, Conan was brought to a guest room and feeling the softness of the bed he immediately fell asleep.

After all, he is now a child. Conan has experienced too many things today. He solved the case again, became smaller, and then solved a case again. Later, he was overwhelmed by Mouri Kogoro. The child's sleepiness gene broke out and he soon passed out.

In the living room, Mouri Kogoro is sitting on the sofa in a loose nightgown, while Ran is also wearing pajamas, highlighting her exquisite figure.

Don't look at it too much, Mouri Kogoro chanted Buddha scripts several times silently in his heart, but this little girl figure is almost comparable to Eri.

"Dad, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I also know that the office has been out of business for half a year, but Conan is really pitiful." Ran also knows that the family's economic conditions are not good, and her father has no income from work for half a year. Adding one person, the pressure is even greater, knowing that living in Kyoto is not so easy.

Looking at Ran blaming herself, Mouri Kogoro only thinks that Ran is really beautiful at this time. She is really kind. In fact, Ran is not stupid at all. It's just that she is too kind.

"It's okay, Ran, look, today your dad  took a case, this is a commission, and there are two million in it." Mouri Kogoro took out the white envelope in front of the stunned Ran. 

"Wow~." Ran snatched the white envelope and hurriedly started counting.

Only then did Mouri Kogoro know that Ran has the attributes of a small fortune fan. After watching so many episodes of the Detective Conan anime, he has never seen Ran being worried about money, but right now, this is a reality, unlike in the animation, where the hardships of life are not shown.

After Ran confirmed that there was really two million yen, she couldn't help looking at Mouri Kogoro with admiration, but she soon collected the money.

"Hey, Ran, what are you doing? Give the money back to me." Mouri Kogoro said as he watched the money being locked in the cabinet by Ran, the key hung on her chest, and a few tic-tac-toe appeared on his head.

"No, if this money was given by my father. It will soon disappear like a bubble from drinking and betting on horses. It should be reserved for living expenses. Speaking of which, the money we owed to Uncle Nishimoto downstairs should also be paid back." Ran said. 

Every word she said was righteous.

Since Mouri Kogoro and Eri Kirisaki separated, this family has almost been maintained by Ran. The original Mouri Kogoro has not worked for six months, so naturally, there is no way to pay for Ran's living expenses. So Ran's daily expenses, except for the money her mother gave her, they also borrowed from Uncle Nishimoto, the owner of the coffee shop downstairs.

For half a year, Ran has been struggling to maintain the whole family. 

When Mouri Kogoro looked at Ran like a hen protecting her food, not only did he not dislike her, but felt she is so cute, and the heart of an uncle was about to be transformed.

Mouri Kogoro grabbed Ran, hugged her in his arms, and muttered: "Don't worry, my dear daughter, I have cheered up now. I won't let you suffer anymore in the future. I will let you live a good life."

Ran who was pulled into her Father's arms, her face suddenly changed, as if she was thinking of something, and when she was about to break free, she heard Mouri's whispering words, and her eyes suddenly became a little confused, such a father these years She saw it for the first time.

Father and daughter embrace each other with tenderness.

Ran enjoys it very much. She seems to have returned to the time when she was a child, holding her father and acting like a baby. Those years are really good.

Thinking of Conan living in, Mouri Kogoro felt that he needed to be prepared so that Ran could not be taken advantage of by Conan inadvertently, so he said, "Ran, I think Conan, that little devil is already big, he just wanted to let you help him take a bath, so don't let him take advantage of you in the future."

Ran who was indulging in the arms of Mouri Kogoro at this time. Although she felt that her father was too serious, she inexplicably felt that he was "jealous" so she felt it was cute, so she smiled and said, "I know, Dad, I won't let him take advantage."

Mouri Kogoro felt that the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous. For some reason, his palms began to sweat, and his heartbeat became faster, so he stood up and patted her head with his hands and said: "Ran, hurry up and rest, you still have to go to school tomorrow." Before fleeing into his room.

….

Early the next morning, Mouri Kogoro took Conan to Teitan Elementary School to report. It is quite easy for children to go to school in Japan. As long as there is a guardian nearby, they can easily go to school with a small amount of money. It is very convenient.

In the taxi, the radio broadcasted the morning hot news, and the hostess's sweet voice came from inside:

"...The leader of the Italian robber group, Tino Cabana, who was arrested in a building near the Tokyo Tower last night, has refused to say a word yet, while the police threw in the pursuit of Cabana's associates who were absconding. But there is still no clue. In addition, the fifteen thousand maple leaf gold coins stolen by them are still missing..."

"...The maple leaf gold coin is a commemorative coin specially made by the Italian government. It weighs 12.41 grams. The front side is a maple leaf icon designed by a famous painter, and the backside is a pattern of an Italian government office building. It has a certain collection value. The value reached 40,000 yen. In other words, the total value of the stolen gold coins was as high as 600 million yen..."

Mouri Kogoro squeezed his chin. Unexpectedly, this treasure map event would appear so soon, 600 million yen, which is really a huge sum of money, which is about 5.5 million if converted into USD, which is not small.

It just so happened that yesterday he promised Ran that she would have a good life, and this treasure map incident happened. As expected, God is helping him, and it didn't hurt to get ill-gotten wealth.

The system said at the same time: "Releasing Task: Locate the Maple Leaf Gold Treasure. The task reward: 10 points, one draw from Ten Thousand Realms Lottery."

Drivers of taxis are the same as drivers all over the world. And they talked all the way: "The prices of these collectibles are speculated by our Japan. But how much is it worth from abroad or for those rich people? I don't know how much money was spent on foreign collections, and what art exhibitions will be held recently..."

The driver chattered endlessly, and Conan on the side sounded drowsy. As long as Conan thought about going to be with a group of little kids and re-reading elementary school, his face hurts and he wants to run.

The radio continued to broadcast: "... The serial murders that occurred in Osaka are moving towards Kyoto. At present, there have been five dead. There is no connection between each of the dead, but each of the dead took the same kind of death. The case has been going on for more than a month. The previous reporter of the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department will apologize to the public. When will this serial murder case be solved..."

Conan immediately became energetic when he heard this. This was a serial murder case.

Mouri Kogoro couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this. The serial homicide, and the serial homicide that lasted for more than a month, had never appeared in the original anime. After all, the Author originally aimed his work for children when he was drawing comics.

So he has never painted such a terrifying case.

Interesting, a case that never appeared.

Conan wanted to listen to the details of the case carefully, but the radio soon switched off.

The driver in front complained: "Really, the law and order of this Japan is getting worse and worse. The serial murders are terrible to the ears. The police in Osaka are really useless. The murderers should never come to Kyoto."

...

Under the bombardment of the driver's words all the way,  they finally arrived at the Teitan Elementary School. Conan and Mouri Kogoro who got out of the car couldn't help but hook their ears.

Unexpectedly, the driver from Kyoto was the same as the driver in his previous life.

The two entered the Teitan Primary School and walked to the teaching office. Last night, Mouri Kogoro had already called and explained so the director of the teaching office and a teacher were waiting.

"This is Mr. Mouri who made an appointment last night. Hello, let me introduce you. This is the child's headteacher, Sumiko Kobayashi."

Mouri glanced at her and saw that this little devil headteacher is really a rare beauty.

In the original work, Sumiko Kobayashi has almost the same appearance as Miwako Sato. She has short hair, a round face, and round-frame glasses. She is wearing sportswear and has a hearty smile on her face. She is quite boyish.

Mouri Kogoro stretched out his hand and shook hands with Sumiko Kobayashi, with the smile of a mature man on his face: "Teacher Kobayashi, please take care of him."

As he said, Mouri Kogoro approached Sumiko Kobayashi's ear: "This kid is very naughty, and his parents are not here. I hope Ms. Kobayashi will discipline him strictly. It doesn't matter what kind of corporal punishment is."

Conan put on a fish-eyed look, and count help but curse: 'what the hell, what kind of a guardian you are to say such a whisper with a loud voice, how can you treat me as transparent!'

Sumiko Kobayashi covered her mouth and smiled: "Mr. Mouri is so funny."

After that, she leaned down and looked at Conan, with a white light flashing in her lens, with an expression of a strict teacher: "Student Conan, listen carefully, I got authorization from Mr. Mouri, in my class. Don't be naughty, don't make trouble."

Hearing this, the obese director on the side could not help taking out a handkerchief and wiping his sweat. He smiled and said, "Mr. Mouri, Teitan Elementary School is a regular school. Don't worry, Teacher Kobayashi is just a little scarier."

Mouri Kogoro saw Sumiko Kobayashi who looked like a tigress and couldn't help being very satisfied. 

'Conan-kun, I hope you enjoyed it.'

After setting up Conan's school matters, Mouri Kogoro walked out of Teitan Elementary School and turned around to enter a cafe next to the elementary school. He is no longer the original Mouri Kogoro. Mouri originally liked playing mahjong and drinking, but he didn't have an interest in it.

And he wanted to find the maple leaf coin worth 600 million yen, but all this had to wait for the little fat man named Genta to get the treasure map.

Time flies like water. Mouri Kogoro, who reads the newspaper in the coffee shop, spent the day like this. He was sitting in the coffee shop, and the women beside him couldn't help but cast their eyes on him. After all, a handsome man like this is really rare.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the bell of Teitan Elementary School rang, and a group of children emerged from the school.

Then Mouri Kogoro folded the newspapers and watched the crowds carefully.

Sure enough, Conan got mixed up with the three little kids on the first day of school. Little Fatty Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Little Loli Ayumi pulled Conan and the group walked in the same direction. 

Four kids were noisy along the way.

Genta and Mitsuhiko were jealous of Conan who was in front of Ayumi, and Mouri Kogoro quietly followed these four children.

With Mouri Kogoro's skill and heightened five senses, it is natural not to be discovered by a few little kids.

Under the leadership of Genta, the four came to the Kyoto Museum of Fine Arts and played in it.
