Conan, Don't Touch Ran's Butt!

"Ran, want to try hitting it?"

Guchuan and the others approached the punching game machine, and Takeshita invited Ran.

"I think I'll pass," Ran said with a smile, declining.

"Just try it. It might help you relieve some stress," Takeshita continued.

"Relieve stress?"

Ran thought for a moment, then took the boxing glove and put it on. She let out a loud shout, "Shinichi! Hurry up and come back!"

A chill ran down Conan's spine. The bright '400' on the display screen stimulated Conan's nerves.

"Mr. Guchuan, would you like to try it too?"

Ran, feeling relaxed after releasing her stress, handed the glove to Guchuan.

"I'm well-fed, well-clothed, and my life is easy. I don't have any stress at all," Guchuan said with a contented look.

"But you're really bad at video games," Little Ai interjected abruptly.

Guchuan's smile faded. He put on the glove and hit the strength tester.

Ding~

Another '400' appeared.

Conan looked at Guchuan, a cold sweat breaking out.

It was your sister who said you were bad at games, so what's with that hostile look you're giving me? Didn't I already lose to you once?

"Conan, do you want to try?"

"No, I need to pee," Conan said, waving his hand in refusal.

"Let's go together," Nakajima said to Conan.

"Okay."

After Conan went to the restroom, Guchuan and the other two continued to enjoy the games in the hall.

"You guys play ahead, I need to take a call."

After greeting Ran and Little Ai, Guchuan went to a corner to answer his phone.

"Hello, this is Tequila."

"Mm."

"The transaction is complete, you don't need to worry. Also, inform Gin. Hmm?"

The voice on the other end paused.

"It's a kid."

The call ended, and Guchuan began sending an email to Gin.

By the way, what was my task again? Just to pass a message to them?

Never mind. Tequila will be gone soon anyway, so it doesn't matter how well my task was completed. Ah, another day of getting paid for doing nothing. So comfortable.

Boom~

An explosion sounded from the direction of the restrooms, and everyone's gaze turned that way.

"There's a bomb," Guchuan said, looking at Little Ai.

"Brother, I'm so scared," Little Ai said, trembling as she hugged Guchuan, instantly transforming into a frail, powerless little girl.

Guchuan held Little Ai, comforting her, while Ran had already gone to find Conan.

Guchuan symbolically comforted Little Ai, thoroughly enjoying the sight of the scientist-little girl. He then took Little Ai's hand and went to look for Conan.

When they found Conan, he was extending his "salty pig hand" towards Ran's bottom.

"Conan! How could you touch Ran's bottom?!"

Guchuan extended a hand of justice to stop Conan's actions and loudly denounced his uncivilized behavior, drawing everyone's attention.

"What?! No, I didn't!" Conan retorted in a panic.

Ran turned around, just in time to see Conan's hand reaching for her bottom.

"Conan!" Ran roared, almost scaring the living daylights out of Conan.

"Conan, how could you do such a shameful thing at your young age?" Guchuan looked at Conan with disdain.

Little Ai also looked at Conan with a look of disgust. No wonder you could tell Guchuan your identity without reservation; it turns out you're birds of a feather.

*Guchuan is a per

"There's a difference between men and women; you're old enough to be more mindful of that."

Watching Guchuan, this pervert, lecture Conan, this little pervert, Little Ai really wanted to laugh.

Conan could only nod in humiliation. He found an opportunity to pull Guchuan aside. "Guchuan, my Anesthetic Needle hit the number tag on Ran's back pocket. I just wanted to get it back."

Even after Conan explained, Guchuan still looked at him with the eyes of a pervert.

"Why did you shoot Ran's butt?"

"It's normal to miss!" Conan shrieked, flailing his arms.

"Didn't you say before that your aim was really good?" Guchuan challenged.

Conan was flustered.

"None of that matters, what matters is…"

"No, it matters a lot!" Guchuan interrupted Conan.

"I found a clue about that mysterious Organization," Conan quickly said. He didn't want to have to prove he wasn't a pervert.

"That fast?" Guchuan feigned curiosity.

"Yes, and I also know who the bomber is this time. We need to go out and identify him quickly, before Inspector Megure lets everyone present leave."

Then Conan looked at Guchuan.

"Why are you looking at me? You're not thinking of asking me to be a detective, are you?" Guchuan looked at Conan, speechless.

"Exactly."

"No way." Guchuan shook his head, refusing.

He was a collector who dabbled in some unspeakable dealings on the side. Becoming famous would be troublesome.

"My identity isn't suitable."

Conan thought about it and felt Guchuan had a point.

After all, Guchuan was a psychopath. Could you trust what a psychopath said?

"But my Anesthetic Needle is still on Ran's butt, and I can't anesthetize Uncle Mori now," Conan said, scratching his hair in frustration.

"What's the big deal? You wait here for me, I'll go get the Anesthetic Needle."

"No!" Conan grabbed Guchuan's hand.

You'll definitely touch things you shouldn't when you go to get the Anesthetic Needle.

"Then I'll go anesthetize Kogoro Mouri for you."

Guchuan pushed Conan away and walked towards Kogoro Mouri.

Little Ai watched Guchuan and Conan finish their whispered conversation, intending to go find Guchuan, but then she saw Guchuan walk directly towards Kogoro Mouri. Then, with a single chop, Kogoro Mouri slumped against a pillar and sat on the ground. After he was done, Guchuan even gave Conan an OK sign.

Though Conan was a bit shocked, he quickly ran to the other side of the pillar, and the unconscious Kogoro Mouri began to speak.

"Inspector Megure, you can't let the guests leave yet."

"What? The suspect is an indiscriminate bomber, and there are still bombs hidden elsewhere," Inspector Megure said.

"There are no bombs hidden elsewhere at all. The suspect put the bombs in a suitcase beforehand. That suspect is clearly among these guests. Is it really okay to just let these guests leave?"

Little Ai watched all of this, dumbfounded. Guchuan came over and patted Little Ai's head.

"Do you know what other title Kogoro Mouri has, besides 'Sleeping Kogoro'?"

"What?" Little Ai looked up and asked.

"Ventriloquism Master."
