Chapter 107 Following Kogorō, Shocking! (Ch 107)

On the way back, Hattori Heiji was full of admiration for Kogoro, “Uncle, I didn’t expect you to be so capable! I made a mistake in my reasoning due to negligence, thanks to you for helping me to make up for it.”

Although Heiji is restless and wants to challenge everyone, he still respects the strong in his heart. This time, Kogoro’s sleeper reasoning show taught him what it means that there are always people better than you.

It turns out that old ginger is still spicy!

“Wahkakaka, it’s not that great!” Kogoro said modestly in a proud tone.

After saying that, he scratched his head while Heiji wasn’t paying attention, looking confused and silly, as if he didn’t remember anything.

Seeing him like this, Wang Yue became more suspicious. Something is wrong! It is so wrong!

According to Mochizuki’s analysis, the old man had not been anesthetized before. If that was the case, how could he not know the process of reasoning “267”?

And he was not anesthetized, which means he was pretending to be asleep and deliberately cooperating with Conan. This was one-sided, and even Conan, the “mastermind”, did not realize that he was the one being played.

It is obvious that Kogoro Mouri was pretending to be stupid in front of Conan, making Conan think that he was really confused.

Sure enough, when Conan saw Kogoro scratching his head and making a fool of himself, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and he seemed very satisfied.

“I’ve been in Tokyo for so long, it’s time to go back to Osaka. Let’s say goodbye here, uncle, goodbye!” Heiji said goodbye to Kogoro and left.

After he left, Mochizuki also said goodbye, “It’s time for me to go back, Mr. Maori, Xiaolan, see you next time.”

Xiaolan responded to Mochizuki, “See you next time, Mochizuki-kun.”

Mochizuki only said goodbye, but after leaving, he quietly followed him, and in order to avoid being discovered, he specially entered the invisible state. He didn’t care about Kogoro before, but after this incident, he became suspicious of Kogoro, so he decided to follow him to find out.

Soon, Kogoro and the other two took a car back to the office. Then Mochizuki saw Kogoro enter the bathroom, but he did not go to the toilet. Instead, he stood in front of the mirror and touched his neck.

“Luckily I was prepared and asked him to make this thing for me. If it wasn’t for this thing, I would have become a sieve in no time.” Kogoro tore off a layer of fake skin from his neck. “I didn’t expect it would come in handy when I put it on for the first time today.”

Mochizuki’s nerves were tense. Did Kogoro really have a guard against Conan?

Is this still the same confused detective?

Kogoro took the fake skin in his hand and rubbed it. Mochizuki saw that it was very soft, just like real skin. Kogoro also praised, “You are worthy of being one of the greatest magicians in R country. Wow, this fake skin is made just like the real one. I don’t know what material it is, it is so soft and can resist needle pricks.”

Hearing what Kogoro said, Mochizuki was full of doubts.

Just now, Kogoro mentioned “he” in his first sentence. Mochizuki was wondering who this “he” was. Now Kogoro mentioned one of the greatest magicians of R, which made Mochizuki have a guess.

Could the “he” that Kogoro was talking about be Kuroba Toichi? The first generation of Kaito Kid, Kuroba Kaito’s father, a former world-class magician… Is there a connection between Kogoro and Kuroba Toichi?

By the way, Vermouth and Yukiko also learned the disguise technique from Kuroba Toichi.

Although the outside world thought that Kuroba Toichi died in an accident during the performance, as a time traveler, Mochizuki knew that Kuroba Toichi was actually still alive. But how did Kogoro get connected to Kuroba Toichi?

What a hidden talent! This old man!

Seeing that Kogoro had been on guard against Conan, Mochizuki guessed that he might have found out Conan’s identity.

As expected, Kogoro took out a needle from the cigarette box, which was the anesthetic needle Conan shot at him. The needle was crystal clear, obviously not made of metal, but looked like some kind of crystal.

“Kudo Shinichi probably can’t make this thing himself. I guess it was given to him by Professor Agasa.”

Wow! You even know this? Mochizuki was shocked. You even know that Conan is Kudo Shinichi. What else don’t you know?

Kogoro looked at the mirror with a helpless expression, “Why are there more and more strange people around me? This has violated my original intention of resigning… The shrunken Kudo Shinichi, and that Mochizuki… Speaking of Mochizuki, does he have other purposes for approaching me, or does he simply like Xiaolan?”

Wangyue can no longer remain calm!

This old man not only knew that Conan was Shinichi, but he also realized that I approached him on purpose? So he was watching me perform? What reporter, what interview with a detective…he had seen through it all?

And he also saw that I like Xiaolan?

Oh my god, this old man has such a sharp eye! He can even see this? I clearly never said that I like Xiaolan! Wangyue has to admire this old man’s accurate judgment of people.

“I like Xiaolan, so I approach you, but my real intention is not to be with you… This is a good reason!” Mochizuki said to himself. Kogoro’s words undoubtedly reminded Mochizuki.

He approached Kogoro for Conan at first, but later he gradually developed a crush on Xiaolan. “Since you suspect that I like Xiaolan and that’s why I approached you, I’ll act more like that…”

…

This time, Mochizuki gained a lot from tracking Kogoro Maori. Not only did he find out that Kogoro was pretending to be stupid, but he also found out that Kogoro already knew Conan’s true identity.

“Then I can’t really treat him as a fool anymore. I have to change my attitude.” Mochizuki has returned home and is sitting on the tatami in the apartment, analyzing the intelligence he has obtained. “No, no, he deliberately wants others to think he is stupid. If I change my attitude, won’t it reveal that I know he is pretending to be stupid?”

Mochizuki thought for a long time about how to get along with Kogoro.

When she first crossed over, Mochizuki didn’t need to consider such things. Is Kogoro related to me? Why should I consider how to get along with him?

But now it’s different, there’s an additional layer of relationship with Xiaolan…

“Also… I’m really worried about Conan continuing to live in the Maori Office. I have to find a way to make him move out.” Mochizuki frowned in thought, and suddenly thought of the school uniform incident last time. “Oh, right! That kid destroyed a set of my school uniforms, and I haven’t settled the score with him yet! In that case, let’s settle both accounts at once… Got it!”

In an instant, a very vicious plan popped up in Mochizuki’s mind. This plan would not hurt anyone, but only Conan. Of course, it would not hurt him physically, but mentally, which would make him socially dead.

“By then, even if Xiaolan doesn’t mind, Kogoro will definitely kick this guy out. Haha, I’m so smart!”
