Akutagawa Hiko dialed Sonoko's number, and although he didn't understand why, he handed the phone to Mouri Kogoro: "Uncle, Hiko is looking for you."
Kogoro Mouri scratched his head: "What does this guy want from me?"
and·.-
They also arranged to meet in Nakamichi Kazushi's room.
Knowing that Akutagawa Hiko might have something important to discuss with him, Kogoro Mouri didn't make a fuss, especially since it might cause trouble if Nakamichi Kazushi found out.
Just as he was getting into the swing of things, essentially toying with Kogoro Mouri, Ayashiro Yukio complained, "Why are they all leaving?"
Noriko Ayashiro smiled and picked up her racket: "Then let me play a few games with you."
When facing his wife, Ayashiro Yukio naturally couldn't launch such a fierce attack as he did when facing Kogoro Mouri. Instead, they took turns playing a game like an old married couple.
It's so slow that even someone playing for the first time can keep up.
Although others kept criticizing the flirtatious way the two played, Ran and Sonoko envied their relationship, which was a gentle warmth and sweetness brewed from romance and passion over time.
Kogoro Mori rushed to Kazushi Nakamichi's room and saw two figures, one tall and one short, squatting on the floor. He instinctively looked around to see if anyone was following them: "You two, don't you know you can't just enter someone else's room without permission?!"
Akutagawa Hiko waved his hand and pointed to the thing covered by a white sheet on the ground, saying, "We can't worry about that now, Uncle, come and take a look at this. Conan accidentally knocked over Mr. Nakamichi's bag, and we found it when we were cleaning up."
Kogoro Mouri guessed that this was why they had called him over. He nonchalantly lifted the cloth, thinking that such a small cloth couldn't possibly cover his body, and that it could be a gun.
Upon opening it, Kogoro Mouri was instantly dumbfounded, wondering when he had developed the ability to jinx someone.
"Uncle, this gun looks just like the one that the thug you subdued had back then."
Kogoro Mouri instantly snapped out of his daze. If he were carrying a Metropolitan Police Department service weapon, that could be explained by some secret mission. But this was a gun that a robber had bought and then mysteriously disappeared—
Akutagawa Hiko and Conan noticed that Kogoro Mouri's expression was more serious than ever before.
The fact that he secretly took the handgun, which should have been stolen goods, and brought it to the class reunion makes his intentions quite obvious.
Ultimately, they cannot escape breaking the law and committing crimes.
Kogoro Mouri's face darkened. He wrapped the pistol in a white cloth and said sternly, "Hiko, this time I owe you a favor."
Leave this matter to me; please do not interfere.
Akutagawa Hiko nodded and led Conan outside.
Conan also relaxed. It felt so good to be a carefree child without having to keep an eye on potential cases all the time.

Conan tentatively asked, "For old friends of so many years to escalate to the point of murder, do you think the world is a dark place?"
Akutagawa looked at Conan strangely. Although there were many funny videos, from any perspective, Conan was a righteous protagonist who was morally beyond reproach.
Why are you asking such strange questions today?
To prevent the protagonist's personality from changing drastically and causing the Grim Reaper's aura to stop working, Akutagawa Hiko decided to comfort this fake child who was inexplicably feeling down.
"How could you think that way? This is purely a matter of personal morality. The world itself is still a beautiful place, and a murder was prevented, giving a tragedy a chance to be atoned for. We should be happy."
Conan could sense the sincerity in Akutagawa Hiko's words and smiled with relief.
Back in the pool room, the two longtime couples who played pool had already retired and were resting, so Sonoko quickly pulled Akutagawa Hiko aside to play a game.
Conan, remembering Akutagawa Hikaru's childish tendencies at times, tugged at his sleeve: "You should be more considerate of him."
This guy is ruthless; he can stab a steel plate with a leaf. If he gets serious, he'll definitely send the other person to the hospital, he definitely will.
Sonoko, across from him, was beaming with excitement, eagerly anticipating Akutagawa Hikaru's dashing figure as he sweated it out during his workout: "Hurry up and serve, Hikaru!"
When playing billiards, it's hard to control your facial expressions when you're engrossed in the game or when it's particularly intense, which often results in funny facial expressions from billiards players.
That's hardly handsome.
However, playing against Sonoko is more of a fun match. Putting aside skills, Akutagawa Hikaru is far ahead in terms of stats alone.
Therefore, although the overall situation looks very intense, those in the know can immediately tell that it is Akutagawa Hiko feeding Sonoko with his moves.
During this time, Kogoro Mouri called Kazushi Nakamichi out. The others didn't pay much attention; it was perfectly normal for a current policeman and a former policeman to chat about some private matters.
However, when they returned, the atmosphere between the two was quite tense, even somewhat confrontational, indicating that the conversation had not gone very smoothly.
Finally, it was Nakamichi and Shichi who relented: "After we finish watching the fireworks, let's have a judo match. It's been a while since we've practiced, and I don't know if everyone's gotten rusty."
After saying that, the braised egg vendor looked at Akutagawa Hiko and said, "Young man, why don't you give it a try? As a detective, you might incur the wrath of the villains. If you don't learn a few tricks, you'll easily suffer the consequences."
Conan glanced at this reckless person, feeling that he was being targeted.
Even now, thinking back to that day, my head still aches. If I had learned from Ah Yan earlier, I might have been able to catch those two people off guard and bring them to justice.
Akutagawa Hiko had no objections. Although he considered himself a ninja who leaned towards ninjutsu, he had still seriously practiced taijutsu, and he couldn't let that aspect hold him back.
Because Sonoko was looking forward to watching the fireworks with Akutagawa Hiko, no one was late this time. Even Horikoshi Yumi, who never liked being disturbed while sleeping, was forcibly dragged out of bed.
For someone who truly wants to kill, whether or not they have the gun doesn't really make a difference; it just means their original plan to escape punishment can't be carried out.
Before Kogoro Mori could completely dispel Kazushi Nakamichi's murderous intent, he dared not leave Yumi Horikoshi alone.
"Honestly, I already said I didn't want to watch fireworks. This kind of ubiquitous and unoriginal performance is just like me, about to be laid off—it should be swept into a corner as trash!"
In the end, faced with the unprecedentedly tough Kogoro Mouri, Yumi Horikoshi could only follow the crowd with dissatisfaction to the viewing area that had been reserved in advance.
Apart from Kogoro Mouri, Yumi Horikoshi, and Kazushi Nakamichi, the other judo club members weren't really interested in watching the fireworks. What was with this atmosphere where a fight seemed imminent?!
