Chapter 684 - 1187 Prank Doorbell

After the initial Action Plan was drafted, the People All involved in the Action began to busy themselves with their respective Matters.

Rena Mizunashi (Kir) had to return to Work at the TV Station and, By the Way, arrange the Interview of Domon Kouki on December 3.

Whether Chianti and Korn looked at Domon Kouki's Photo or Domon Kouki's Interview Report, they needed to Confirm his Face and Body Shape. At the same time, they also needed to understand the Situation of the Sniping Location and the approximate Weather Situation on that Day.

Gin and Vodka went to the Location related to the Action to patrol, Confirm the surrounding Situation, and arrange Personnel to be responsible for Safety.

Chi Feichei picked up Belmode, and the Two People went to Confirm the Things needed for the Action, including the Bomb that might be used during the emergency Evacuation and the Gasoline needed to destroy the Trace. After arranging for People to prepare and Set Up, the Two People also had to use Disguise to change their Faces and quietly investigate again to Confirm that there were no Problems.

Except for Rena Mizunashi (Kir), the other People involved in the Action rarely went solo. In addition, they used a Portion of Cipher to communicate Location Information Outside, to avoid anyone leaking Secrets to the greatest Extent.

After Confirming the Action of running around in various Places for a Day, Chi Feichei sent Belmode to the designated Location and returned to Beika Town No. 119 to Rest.

Early the Next Day, Chi Feichei got up early to prepare for Morning Exercise, and the Transmitter in the Round Hall Outside the Bedroom was Opened.

"Raki..."

Hearing the Mechanical Voice, Chi Feichei Stop Walking and Looked Towards the Camera's Location.

"Kir said that Recently it Seemingly Someone was Staring at her Home Neighborhood. Yoko Okino entrusted Famous Detective Mori Kogoro to Help her investigate. The Assassination Operation is imminent, and her Situation is very Important. I want to Know, did she have any Connection with Mori Kogoro Previously?"

"I didn't discover that they had any Phone Call Connection or met Before," Chi Feichei pretended to Consider for A Bit. "If I Lie that I returned to Tokyo from Kyushu In Advance and ran into them, I Should be able to find an Excuse to participate in the Investigation and take the Opportunity to conduct Surveillance on them, But..."

"Then there's No Need," the Mechanical Voice Said. "The Mobile Phone Release Conference in Kyushu only started this morning. Since you Said to the Outside that you went to Kyushu to understand the Release Conference, appearing in Tokyo at This Time and Saying that you returned In Advance will Seem very suspicious. Whether it's Kir or Mori Kogoro, they may suspect your Identity and Purpose. Continue to Confirm the Situation."

Chi Feichei Nodded. Seeing the Red indicator Light of the Transmitter go out, he continued to the Combat Training Range to start the Day's Morning Exercise.

Not interfering was exactly what he was Thinking.

This Time Rena Mizunashi (Kir) would have an Incident, and Mori Kogoro would also be suspected. If he interfered at This Time, he might also be suspected when something happened.

So, Even If there was no This Reason, he would think of other Methods to avoid participating in Mori Kogoro's Investigation This Time...

...

Nichimuri TV Station.

After Rena Mizunashi (Kir) sent the Email to The Boss, she got out of the Car and walked out of the Parking Lot.

Okino Yoko was waiting Outside the Parking Lot, Smilingly waving her Hand. When Rena Mizunashi (Kir) got closer, she Reach Out and took Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s Arm. "Mr. Mouri and the others are already waiting in the TV Station's Canteen. Let's go over there quickly!"

Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Smiled and lowered her Eyes, recalling if she had any Error.

What she told the Organization about someone harassing her was a Fact, But she wasn't unable to Solve that Problem. What really gave her a Headache was another Question—her Younger Brother had Called the TV Station many Times. It wouldn't be long before he came over. Once discovered by the Organization, they would be in Danger.

Utilizing This Harassment Incident, she let her Idiot Younger Brother notice Famous Detective Mori Kogoro. If she let her Younger Brother Contact Mori Kogoro first, Mori Kogoro, as a Famous Detective, Should be able to protect her Younger Brother when her Younger Brother encountered Danger, or when she had to do something cruel in order to hide her True Identity.

That Child was pure and kind. Famous Detective Mouri, who used to be a Police Officer, would definitely be willing to lend a Hand.

Of Course, she would also think of Methods to Cooperate.

She had no other Method. The Organization was Staring too closely, and her suspicious index of Contacting the Famous Detective at This Time was lower than Contacting the Police Officer, lower than secretly meeting with Mysterious Person behind the Organization's Back.

In addition, she did have Troublesome Matters. After receiving Okino Yoko's Phone Call, she had already Said the Reason to The Boss, Then...

"What's Wrong?" Okino Yoko asked with some Worry when she discovered that Rena Mizunashi (Kir) was distracted in front of the Canteen. "Hasn't that Prank Doorbell been Resting well Recently?"

Rena Mizunashi (Kir) came back to her Senses and Said with a Smile, "No, I was Thinking about what to Say Before meeting the Famous Detective. After All, it's that kind of Small Matters..."

"Being harassed is no longer a Small Matters. If you don't Value it, the other Party will become more and more rampant!" Okino Yoko reminded her with a Serious Face, pushed Open the Door of the Canteen Dining Room, poked her Head in to See Mori Kogoro, Mouri Ran, and Conan sitting at a Table, and pulled Rena Mizunashi (Kir) forward. "Mr. Mouri!"

"This way!" Mori Kogoro Smilingly Raise Hand in Response. When Okino Yoko and Rena Mizunashi (Kir) got closer, he sized up Rena Mizunashi (Kir). "Huh? I remember you're the one who often appears on the Sunday Evening News..."

Okino Yoko introduced, "Yes, she is the Host, Miss Rena Mizunashi (Kir)."

Rena Mizunashi (Kir) bowed, her Voice Warm. "I'm very Happy to meet you."

Mori Kogoro Looked at her, straightened his Collar, and revealed a Deep Expression. "Ahem, I am Famous Detective Mori Kogoro."

Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Smiled at Mori Kogoro, looking pure and Warm.

"I'm his Daughter, Ran," Mouri Ran Said with a Smile. "This is Conan."

"Hello, Older Sister~" Conan Said with a well-behaved Smile.

Rena Mizunashi (Kir) chuckled. "Please give me some advice."

Okino Yoko nudged Rena Mizunashi (Kir) with her Elbow and Said in a low Voice, "Tell Mr. Mouri."

Rena Mizunashi (Kir) replied in a low Voice, "I Said, Yoko, it's Troublesome to bother Famous Detective Mori Kogoro with that kind of Matter..."

"Don't Worry," Okino Yoko Smilingly held Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s Shoulder and let Rena Mizunashi (Kir) sit down. "Mr. Mouri will definitely be willing to Help!"

Mori Kogoro Smilingly asked proactively, "What kind of Trouble have you encountered?"

Seeing Mori Kogoro ask, Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Said it. "Actually, someone has been playing Pranks on me Recently, ringing the Doorbell and running away..."

"Prank Doorbell?" Mori Kogoro was A Bit surprised. "You Hope I can Help you Grab the Person who is playing the Prank, right?"

In Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s Impression, Mori Kogoro appeared in the Report to solve various magical Murder Case Methods. She always felt that she would be rejected, so she helplessly Looked Towards Okino Yoko. "See, it's Indeed disrespectful to the Famous Detective..."

Okino Yoko Said with Concern, "But This Is not as simple as a Prank."

Mori Kogoro Looked at Rena Mizunashi (Kir). "How do you Say that?"

"Ah, it's like This..." Rena Mizunashi (Kir) withdrew her Line of Sight and lowered her Head slightly. "It often happens on Saturday mornings. I once Thought of catching the Person who was playing the Prank, so I deliberately waited for the other Party to appear. As soon as the Doorbell rang, I immediately Opened the Door, But I couldn't See a single Figure in the Corridor Outside..."

Seeing that Mori Kogoro didn't have a Clue for a while, Okino Yoko suggested that Rena Mizunashi (Kir) invite Mori Kogoro to Check her Home, while she continued to busy herself with Work.

The Plague God Trio drove after Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s Car to Beika Town. After Parking the Car in the nearby Parking Lot, they arrived at Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s Home.

Before entering the Door, Mori Kogoro tried to simulate the Person who rang the Doorbell, But the Door that was Suddenly Opened 'slapped' his Face. For the Sake of Face, he could only pretend that Nothing had happened.

When Rena Mizunashi (Kir) brought A Group of People in, Mori Kogoro Turn Head and Saw four Locks on the Door, and was Speechless.

"You have so many Locks installed at Home."

"Really, there are four." Mouri Ran felt surprised.

"Single Woman living alone always has to be Careful." Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Smiled calmly and smoothed things over.

Lying Undercover in an Organization where a Madman might kill someone in the middle of the Night and break down the Door with a Gun, of Course you have to be Careful.

While Mori Kogoro and Mouri Ran Followed Rena Mizunashi (Kir) to the Living Room, Conan took out Chewing Gum and chewed it with a Serious Face. He took off the Eavesdropping Device and Transmitter on the Temple of his Glasses, Opened a Crack in the Door, spat out the chewed Chewing Gum, and used the Chewing Gum to stick the Eavesdropping Device on the Wall Side Outside the lower Corner of the Door.

He would install an Eavesdropping Device first, so that when the Doorbell rang, he could hear the Sound Outside the Door. If there were Footsteps, he could hear them in Time...

Perfect!

Suddenly, Conan Sense that someone Seemingly was Staring at This Side from the opposite Building. He suddenly Turn Head to Look, But he could only See the Glass Window of that Building.

However, Mouri Ran quickly came out and Call Conan in.

Across the Building, the FBI Agent hiding behind the Wall breathed a Sigh of Relief and took out his Mobile Phone to Report the Situation—discovered Mori Kogoro...

...

Mori Kogoro understood the Situation with Rena Mizunashi (Kir) in Detail, But he still didn't have a Clue. Thinking that Tomorrow was Saturday, he suggested staying at Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s Home for the Night and being responsible for guarding the Entrance Hall.

When Rena Mizunashi (Kir) was Packing Up the Magazine, Conan Guessed the Truth. He waited until the Next Day Early Morning and woke up Mori Kogoro, who was snoring in the Entrance Hall, In Advance.

As soon as Mori Kogoro opened his Eyes in a daze, the Doorbell rang.

Mori Kogoro immediately Step Forward, Opened the four Door Locks one by one, and Opened the Door to Look out, But discovered that there was only the pile of Magazines placed Outside the Door last Night. The Corridor that could be Seen at a Glance didn't have a single Figure.

Mouri Ran poked her Head out and Said in surprise, "You're kidding me! There's really no one... Why?"

Conan walked out of the Door and Looked at the pile of Magazines. He discovered that there was Indeed a Child squatting with his Knees in his Arms, hiding behind the pile of Magazines. He Smiled at Mori Kogoro and the others. "He's there, right behind the Magazine."

"Idiot! How could an Adult hide in that kind of Place..." Mori Kogoro Step Forward and was startled. Soon, he angrily picked up the Little Boy behind the pile of Magazines. "Damn it! Brat, you're the one who's ringing the Doorbell, aren't you?"

"So that's how it is," Mouri Ran Said suddenly realized. "Because it's a Child who can hide behind a pile of Magazines, we haven't been able to find him."

"That's too Unexpected," Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Said in surprise. "I never Thought that someone would hide in that kind of Place."

Mori Kogoro picked up the Little Boy and put him in front of him, Staring at the Little Boy who was about to be frightened to Tears. "So that's the Reason. You only didn't come to ring the Doorbell on the Saturday two weeks ago Because there were no Magazines piled up at the Entrance, right? Miss Rena Mizunashi (Kir) was not at Home that Week Because she was out for an Interview. So there were not many Magazines that needed to be handled. Hey, what exactly do you want? Why are you doing this? No Matter how I Look at it, you're just an Elementary School Student, right? If you don't Say it, I'll hand you over to the Police Officer and your Teacher to handle!"

"Uncle, be more Gentle," Conan reminded him with Half-Moon Eyes, feeling that he couldn't stand it anymore. He also Said, "I think he's just ringing the Doorbell to wake up the Older Sister."

"Hey?" Mori Kogoro Looked at Conan with Doubt.

"In order to let the Older Sister catch up with the Live Broadcast of 'Good Morning Seven O'Clock'!" Conan pretended to be a Child and pointed at Rena Mizunashi (Kir). He Turn Head to Look at the Little Boy. "Because he hasn't been able to See the Older Sister on the 'Good Morning Seven O'Clock' Program since two Months ago, and he doesn't Know that the Older Sister is Because of Work transfer, he mistakenly thought that the Older Sister was Because she was sleeping in, so he would come to ring the Doorbell at 6:30 on Saturday morning. He doesn't have to go to School on Saturday, so after ringing the Doorbell, he can immediately go Home to Watch the Live Broadcast of Good Morning Seven O'Clock!"
