Chapter 192: Smart, Pretty, Cute and White(1/2)

Riho Chieda followed the good example and prepared to leave here temporarily after listening to Noriko's words.

But she immediately discovered that Conan wanted to follow him.

"Okay, hang up the phone first."

After hearing this, Noriko Amamiya said it was not a big problem, and after finishing the phone call, she called Xiaolan.

Xiaolan was a little confused after receiving Noriko's call: "Noriko? What's wrong? Did you get home safely?"

"Well, I'm already home. Where are you, Xiaolan? You have to watch out for the naughty Conan."

"We encountered a fire on the way home, Conan?"

Xiaolan held the phone and glanced doubtfully, holding Conan in hand as he seemed about to run away, "Conan is fine too. Noriko should take care of herself and go to bed early."

"Hmm, okay, then I'm going to bed, good night~"

"Well, good night Noriko."

After Xiaolan ended the call, she looked at Conan: "The fire is still out, so you can't run around."

“…”

Conan glanced at the missing suspect over there and looked helplessly at Xiaolan: "Did Sister Noriko call?"

"Well, Noriko cares about you very much."

Conan smiled reluctantly, "Thank you so much for her."

I don't know why, but it feels familiar.

Conan frowned and thought about it. It seemed that when he was involved in certain cases in the past, he was interrupted by Amamiya Noriko's sudden appearance.

A strong sense of déjà vu.

"Amamiya Noriko did it on purpose?"

Conan is slightly suspicious, but she doesn't know Kudo Shinichi right now, right?

While he was thinking about it, Xiaolan had already asked Maori Kogoro to speak out:

"Dad, how about you solve the case here by yourself? Conan and I go back to bed first. He is still a child, so how can he sleep so late?"

"Yeah, that's fine. Let the kids go to bed."

It doesn't matter to Mouri Kogoro, it's better to say that every time Conan is around, he gets a little sleepy while solving cases.

Go talk to the taxi driver who is his fan and ask him to take Xiaolan and Conan back.

"Eh?!!"

Conan's eyes widened. He is a detective, he doesn't need to sleep! He still has to solve this problematic case!!

Although he wanted to say this, Xiaolan still carried him into the taxi, put him in the child seat and fastened his seat belt.

"Really? Does Dad treat me as a child? But Conan, you are really a child. If you feel sleepy, you can take a nap in the car first."

Xiaolan said to Conan gently.

Conan: "..."

Xiaolan seemed to want to make him sleep more peacefully, so she clung to him so that he could rely on her, and even held his hand.

Is Conan still conscious? Since his hands were caught? He must not be able to escape and continue to study the case.

I'll ask Kogoro Mori about the progress of the case tomorrow.

I will study this case later and go to sleep.

Xiaolan doesn’t think it’s strange to see Conan calm down quickly? He’s a kid, it’ll be almost dawn if he stays up any longer.

Let Conan sleep, and Xiaolan will watch the Mori Detective Agency.

The taxi drove away from the fire scene.

And when they left the scene of the fire, Belmod's figure also walked out of the dark corner of the street? Her beautiful eyes looked at the taxi with interest, and she pursed her red lips and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"angel~"

Maybe this is fate.

As for the other person following me...

Belmode glanced at the direction Chieda Riho left, and had to suspect that it was Baileys.

"Can this guy always keep track of my whereabouts?"

It's normal for Belmode to have this strange feeling. Because of preconceptions, Baileys not only found the hotel where she was staying, but also showed up here again? Both times she was unaware.

It’s just that she doesn’t know the magic of Chie Riho.

Riho Chieda appeared here purely to arrange for people to protect Noriko after they separated in the restaurant? Then she came to protect Xiaolan and the others.

Because the direction they went home was close to the direction that the woman Noriko met at the hotel left.

Then it happened to be a big fire.

So she didn’t come with Belmode? It’s a coincidence.

And Belmode doesn't believe in coincidences, I think you Baileys are following me.

What is the same thing? After Xiaolan and Conan left? Belmode and Chieda Riho's operations on this case were similar.

Although Riho Chieda doesn't know the art of disguise, she can at least disguise herself, and she and Belmod acted as onlookers with eloquent words, saying that they were there when the fire started.

The police officers who recorded their testimonies respectively looked at the pretty women in front of them, at least their first impression was good.

In particular, Belmode herself knew her arrangements in the clinic very well, and the clues provided by the onlookers were of great help to the police.

Riho Chieda had a guess about Bermod's style of conduct provided by Noriko Amamiya in advance, so it was easy to fish in troubled waters.

So much so that the two police officers who went back to record their testimonies paired up their testimonies. Isn't this a perfect match? They became each other's witnesses.

Belmod also caught a glimpse of Chieda Riho. Chie Riho didn't recognize her, but she saw through Chie Riho's disguise in an instant.

When she used the identity of Sharon Wynyard, she met Riho Chieda in Hawaii and knew that she was Noriko's cousin.

Chieda Riho's disguise is too ordinary, and ordinary people may not be able to recognize it at once, but for someone like her who is proficient in the art of disguise, she can easily see through it.

Therefore, Bellmode suddenly discovered that it was not Baileys, but Noriko's person.

Then maybe it's not here to track you.

But her actions seemed to help her conceal and distort the truth of the case in every aspect, which was somewhat confusing.

Belmod put her hand to her chin and thought for a moment. It would not be wrong if she happened to meet him... It was indeed her first chance encounter with Riho Chieda, but she still couldn't believe in such things as coincidences.

"Perhaps, it's time to go and play with Noriko. It's not good to be teased by Baileys all the time."

For her, Amamiya Noriko was not only a special being who helped her out with Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan in New York, but she was also her junior sister.

Moreover, she knew that Noriko Amamiya, who looked cute, actually had interesting hidden abilities.

"In terms of identity, it just so happens that Sharon Wynyard, who I knew Noriko, has passed away. As her daughter Chrissy Wynyard, I was entrusted to pay my respects to Noriko. There is nothing strange about it."

Belmode thought about it and made up his mind.

As for the fire here, Mouri Kogoro is professional. Even without their analysis, he can lead the case in the right direction.

Not to mention the words of the two beautiful witnesses, he believed 100%.

After ensuring the outcome of the case, Bellmode left first, while Chieda Riho and Chieda Riho, who had no contact from beginning to end and only looked at each other, glanced at her back with some feeling.

Chieda Riho only recognized the appearance of Sharon Wynyard in Belmode, but Chieda Riho didn't recognize her current makeup look at all.

So I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but I could still vaguely sense some of the other party's problems.

She wanted to talk to Noriko about the matter. It seemed that Noriko had some opinions, but she probably fell asleep at this time.

She looked at the fire scene where the fire had been extinguished for a while, and then left.

Firefighters in the ruins are cooperating with forensic doctors present to identify the two charred bodies found inside.

He was completely burned to the point of being unrecognizable, and I didn’t know if the forensic doctor could find anything.

Based on the testimonies they provided, the police made a preliminary conclusion that there should have been some dispute between a drunkard and the doctor who lived in the clinic late at night.

Judging from what they said about the rapid expansion of the fire, it was possible that some alcohol and other items in the clinic were fueling the fire.

This is only the most preliminary judgment, because Chieda Riho and Bellmode both said that they saw the doctor in the clinic helping someone to go in. The person seemed to be shouting something, and he might be a drunkard late at night.

Mouri Kogoro's careful reasoning perfected this idea, and in general, the possibility of arson by a prisoner was completely eliminated.

Because the prisoner might be one of the two charred corpses, there is no point in guessing who is the murderer.

More detailed results will definitely have to wait until the medical examiner releases the autopsy results.

But with Bellmode's methods, the clinic doctor who was a member of the peripheral organization would definitely not be able to find anything like a bullet in his head.

Officer Memu looked at the bright sky for the last time and couldn't help but yawned.

"In the end, our Search Division 1 came to help, and the protagonist was the fire brigade who put out the fire."

Mouri Kogoro had been blowing the cold wind for a long time and had woken up from all the wine. He was so sleepy at this time: "I leave it to you. My reasoning is definitely correct. This is just an accident."
