Establishing the Teyvat Organization in KO

Chapter 147 Catching the Prisoner

"Editor-in-chief, weren't you worried about this matter yesterday, and complained that I didn't care enough. I thought about it and felt that you were right. It's not good to let it go like this, so I asked a detective friend of mine for help... That's what happened." Charlotte explained with a drifting look.

To be honest, she is a little embarrassed now.

She never expected that her editor-in-chief would make the same choice as her, and the two groups just happened to meet.

Sure enough, when he learned that Charlotte had also hired a detective, Kogoro Mouri began to feel dissatisfied.

Faced with the threat from his competitors, Kogoro Mori immediately put aside his admiration for Charlotte.

Conan: Haha, uncle, you were clearly admiring Charlotte's appearance just now.

Maori Kogoro was unaware of Conan's secret complaints. He looked at Charlotte and asked with a slightly unhappy expression, "Then what is the name of Miss Charlotte's detective friend? Maybe I know him, and we can communicate with each other then."

Oh, he wanted to see which detective was going to snatch the commission from him.

Charlotte quickly shook off her previous embarrassment and smiled brightly.

Hearing Maori Kogoro's slightly emotional words, he did not get angry. Instead, he looked at Maori Kogoro with admiration and said with a smile:

"In fact, my friend Detective Maori does know him. She has told me about him before. She said that Detective Maori is agile and secretive." He was once a sharpshooter in the police academy. It seems that his shooting skills are better than those of Rei Furuya, but few people know about it until now.

"Gifted with extraordinary talent and amazing endurance," he is a ruthless man who can be injected with anesthetic needles more than a thousand times without any problem.

"He has an unparalleled talent in solving crimes." Indeed, at the crime scene, any suspect identified by Kogoro Mori must not be the real murderer.

"He is a true detective!" Charlotte concluded.

"I thought she was exaggerating before, but now that I've met her in person, I think what she said is absolutely correct, and even a little conservative."

Conan: "..."

Conan really didn't expect that he would hear someone speak so highly of Uncle Maori in his lifetime.

Is this Miss Charlotte sincere?

Maori Ran was obviously very happy to hear someone praising her father like this. Even Maori Kogoro let go of his previous little emotion after hearing Charlotte's words and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, your detective friend has good vision. Yes, I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, am indeed gifted."

He can solve cases while sleeping and is called "Sleeping Kogoro", hahahaha.

The more Kogoro Maori thought about it, the more he felt that Charlotte and her friends had good taste.

"By the way, Miss Charlotte, you haven't told me the name of your detective friend."

At this time, when asking this question again, Maori Kogoro's tone was obviously much better, and there was no longer the hint of dissatisfaction just implied in his tone.

"Oh, her name is Natsume Natsuyu. You should know Detective Maori."

"Eh?!"

Maori, Kogoro and the other two never imagined that Charlotte's detective friend was Xia Xi.

When Conan heard Sister Xia Xi's name, he subconsciously began to look carefully at Charlotte's dress, trying to find the familiar Eye of God decoration.

But to Conan's surprise, he did not see the Eye of God on Charlotte. In order to avoid missing it, Conan even went around Charlotte, but he did not find the Eye of God.

This is a bit strange. Conan thought that since Charlotte knew Xia Xi and had a different temperament from ordinary people, she gave him the same feeling as Xiangling and Lisa, so she should have the Eye of God.

Was I overthinking it? Was Charlotte just a coincidence, like Narcida, to know Xia Xi?

"Yes, it's Xia Xi. Detective Maori should know her." Charlotte repeated again.

"I do know her, but I didn't expect Charlotte to be Xia Xi's friend. I always feel that Mihua is quite young and she can meet acquaintances everywhere." Mao Lilan sighed.

"By the way, Miss Charlotte..."

"Since we are all Xia Xi's friends, Xiaolan, you don't need to use the honorific title. Just call me Charlotte."

"Well...Charlotte, since you have entrusted Xia Xi, where is she now?" Without thinking much, Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment and changed her name as Charlotte said.

"Oh, Xia Xi is now tracking the suspicious person who handed me the threatening letter just now, and she is trying to find the mastermind behind the scenes through him." Charlotte answered lightly.

"Ugh?!"

Maori, Kogoro and the other two shouted in surprise again, and this time Editor-in-Chief Takeuchi was included in the shouting.

"Didn't I just say that? I was with Xia Xi the whole time. When we found the suspicious person, we chased him together. But Xia Xi said that she could handle this kind of thing alone, so I came back first."

Maori Kogoro and the other three shook their heads in unison, indicating that Charlotte did not mention this matter just now.

When Takeuchi Koichi realized what Charlotte had just said, he began to teach Charlotte a lesson again:

"Charlotte! How come your friend is as brave as you, and dares to do this alone! Miss Natsume should not be very old, and she chased after him alone, what if something happens?"

Just as Takeuchi Koichi was worried, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder several times. He turned around and saw it was Mouri Kogoro.

Maori Kogoro patted Takeuchi Koichi's shoulder with a serious expression and said, "Don't worry, if it's the Natsume Natsuyu I know, you should be worried about that suspicious person now."

Koichi Takeuchi didn't understand what Kogoro Mori said. He looked at Ran Mori and the others in confusion, only to see Ran, Edogawa Conan and Charlotte nodded at the same time, obviously agreeing with what Kogoro Mori said.

Conan also sighed a little disappointedly.

Alas, with Sister Xia Xi's excellent skills, since she has followed the suspicious person, she will definitely be able to follow him without being discovered and find his accomplices (if any). If the other party has no accomplices, then Sister Xia Xi can easily catch the criminal.

It seems that I have nothing to do from now on, alas.

Conan couldn't help but sigh again.

Sure enough, after a few people followed Charlotte to her apartment and rested for about ten minutes, Charlotte's cell phone rang.

It was Xia Xi who called and told Charlotte that the criminal who sent the threatening letter had been caught by her.
