"I don't think they'll detonate the bomb directly. I heard that Moriko Teiji and Chen Anxia are close friends despite their age difference."

“That’s right. Just as Chen Anxia understands Emperor Sengu II, Emperor Sengu II also understands Chen Anxia. If Chen Anxia intervenes in his true form, it will definitely alert the enemy and keep Emperor Sengu II from making a move. If that happens, it will be dangerous.”

......

Inside the first conference room, the commander-in-chief of this operation, Toshiro Odagiri, was stunned upon hearing the news, and remained speechless for a long time, deeply shaken.

Finally, Toshiro Odagiri let out a heavy sigh, muttering, "Seeing is believing, truly worthy of the title 'modern Sherlock Holmes'..."

Muttering to himself, Toshiro Odagiri made his decision.

With such a major incident occurring, the police will definitely hold a press conference. This is not only to explain the incident to the public, but also to establish the police's prestige through the press conference.

Toshiro Odagiri has decided to officially endorse Chen Anxia as the 'modern Sherlock Holmes' at the press conference.

It should be noted that in the past, Chen Anxia's reputation as the "modern Sherlock Holmes" was merely a popular saying and had not been officially recognized.

But once it receives official recognition, the significance naturally changes.

This official endorsement will increase public trust and make it easier for Chen Anxia to intervene in cases in the future.

Even Chen Anxia's reputation as the 'modern Sherlock Holmes' will spread to police forces around the world due to official recognition.

The reason Odagiri Toshiro said that was because he valued Chen Anxia's abilities.

It must be said that Chen Anxia's abilities in this incident have completely impressed Toshiro Odagiri.

Toshiro Odagiri also wanted to use this method to tie Chen Anxia to the side of the Japanese government.

Of course, Chen Anxia was unaware of this.

At this time, Chen Anxia returned to Dr. Agasa's house.

Not only Chen Anxia, ​​but Conan, Watson, Professor Agasa, and Yukiko Kudo also returned to Professor Agasa's house.

Since Chen Anxia had previously removed his disguise, he needed to undergo Kudo Yukiko's disguise again.

Neither Chen Anxia nor Yukiko Kudo objected to this.

Because during the process of Kudo Yukiko helping Chen Anxia disguise himself, she could teach Chen Anxia some techniques related to disguise.

Meanwhile, Conan, Watson, and Professor Agasa were still discussing the incident that had just occurred, and the entire process of Chen Anxia solving the case.

The more Conan and Watson talked about it, the more amazed they became by Chen Anxia's talent.

Meanwhile, Conan and Watson believe that Chen Anxia's handling of this incident is so effective that it could be included in police training materials and become a classic case study for observation and learning.

Indeed, just as Conan and Watson believed, the police were already compiling information on the incident and preparing to include it in their training materials for all officers and police academy students to observe and learn from.

Meanwhile, Ran Mouri, accompanied by Sonoko Suzuki, went to the Beika City Hall several times while waiting for Shinichi Kudo's call.

Every time Ran Mouri went there, she saw the Beika City Hall, which was completely blocked off by the police and she couldn't get close. She also received uncertain answers.

This made Ran Mouri increasingly anxious, hoping that Shinichi Kudo would see the news and call her.

But as time went by, Ran Mouri still hadn't received a call from Shinichi Kudo, which made her gradually feel disappointed.

At 9:45 p.m., with only 15 minutes left until the agreed time, Ran Mouri, who had not yet received a call from Shinichi Kudo, decided to go to the Beika City Hall one last time, accompanied by Sonoko Suzuki.

The outcome of this trip rekindled Ran Mouri's spirits.

Because the lockdown on the Mihana City Hall has been lifted, and many people have been going in and out of it.

Seeing this, Sonoko Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as she said goodbye to Ran Mouri, "Ran, I won't disturb your date with Shinichi any longer. I'll be going now."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri nodded gently and replied, "Sonoko, thank you for spending the whole day with me."

Sonoko Suzuki waved her hand dismissively and left.

Time kept moving forward without stopping. Outside the ticket gate of the Beika Cinema, Ran Mouri, who had dressed up beautifully, was carrying a gift she had prepared for Shinichi Kudo and waiting for his arrival.

As the time drew ever closer to 10 o'clock, and with Shinichi Kudo still nowhere to be seen, Ran Mouri felt a growing sense of unease. She muttered to herself, "Why isn't Shinichi here yet? Is he going to stand me up again...?"

Just as Ran was muttering to herself, she heard a familiar voice say, "Ran, what are you muttering about?"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

Upon seeing that familiar figure, Ran Mouri's face immediately lit up with a genuine smile of joy, and she exclaimed in delight, "Shinichi!"

Seeing this, Chen Anxia, ​​disguised as Shinichi Kudo, smiled slightly and slowly walked towards Ran Mouri, while slowly pulling his hand out from behind his back.

As Chen Anxia approached Ran Mouri, he handed her the roses he had prepared beforehand, speaking in a tender tone reminiscent of Shinichi Kudo, "Ran, I like you. Be my girlfriend!"

Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, Ran Mouri was stunned, her mind going completely blank. She just stared at the 'Shinichi Kudo' in front of her, not knowing what to say or what to think.

Not only Ran Mouri, but Conan, who was observing from the shadows, also changed his expression drastically upon seeing this. He panicked, his heart pounding in his chest, and muttered to himself, "When did Anxia prepare roses? What nonsense is she spouting?"

Just as Conan was in a panic, he heard Ran Mouri's voice, slightly choked but filled with happiness, say, "Ah, I promise you!"

At this moment, Chen Anxia, ​​disguised as Shinichi Kudo, and Ran Mouri are gazing at each other affectionately, while Conan, hidden in the shadows, stares blankly at Ran Mouri, his expression unreadable.

This scene was frozen in time, becoming eternal, yet it also seemed to be foreshadowing something...

Chapter 455 An Unexpected Kiss, and Kir's Impending Attack! (Please Subscribe!)

After the clock struck midnight, Chen Anxia, ​​disguised as Shinichi Kudo, received a carefully prepared birthday gift from Ran Mouri.

In addition, perhaps because of the confession, Chen Anxia also received a special gift that originally belonged to Shinichi Kudo.

This gift is... a sudden kiss from Ran Mouri.

The kiss was so sudden, and in the dark environment of a movie theater, that it completely stunned Chen Anxia.

Fortunately, Conan wasn't nearby at the time; otherwise, if he had witnessed this, who knows what might have happened.

Chen Anxia knew very well just how jealous Conan was.

Naturally, Chen Anxia did not intend to tell Conan about this.

Although Chen Anxia knew that Conan would find out about this sooner or later, she wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible, otherwise she estimated that Conan would drive her crazy with jealousy.

Under these circumstances, Chen Anxia and Mao Lilan ended this special and profound date.

Chen Anxia had no idea that shortly after leaving the Mihua Cinema, two pairs of eyes, filled with intense jealousy and displeasure, were fixed on her.

One gaze naturally belonged to Conan, who had been waiting there all along, while the other gaze belonged to Kogoro Mouri, who was obsessed with his daughter.

Chen Anxia was not surprised by Conan's existence, because she already knew about it.

But the appearance of Kogoro Mouri really surprised Chen Anxia.

Moreover, under the intense gazes of these two people, each radiating jealousy and displeasure, Chen Anxia felt utterly overwhelmed.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Anxia guided Ran Mouri to discover Kogoro Mouri and Conan.

After discovering Kogoro Mouri and Conan's presence, Ran Mouri couldn't help but show her astonishment, exclaiming in surprise, "Dad, Conan, what are you doing here?"

Before Kogoro Mouri and Conan could answer, Chen Anxia said in Shinichi Kudo's voice, "Ran, then I won't take you home."

"Perfect timing, my case hasn't been resolved yet, so I'll be going now."

Without giving Ran a chance to react, Chen Anxia quickly ran away from the scene.

Watching Chen Anxia, ​​disguised as Shinichi Kudo, leave, Ran Mouri inexplicably recalled Shinichi Kudo's departing figure at Dorobiga Park that day.

Before she knew it, tears suddenly welled up in Ran Mouri's eyes.

Ran Mouri ignored the sudden burst of tears, staring blankly in the direction where Shinichi Kudo had disappeared, a thought suddenly popping into her mind.

Why do I have this feeling again? This ominous premonition that once Shinichi leaves, I'll never see him again...?

There was no time for Ran Mouri to think.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan, who had been watching from the sidelines, became anxious when they saw tears welling up in Ran Mouri's eyes and rushed to her side to comfort her.

"Xiaolan, why are you crying? Did that little detective bully you?"

"Don't worry, just tell me and I'll make that detective brat pay."

"Sister Ran, did Shinichi do something to upset you? Tell me, and I'll go teach him a lesson!"

......

Amidst Kogoro and Conan's concerned words, Ran suppressed her ominous premonition, silently vowing, "No, absolutely not."

'I had this feeling last time too, and now I've run into Shinichi again, and Shinichi even...'

Thinking about it, Ran Mouri's face showed a shy and happy smile. Looking at Kogoro Mouri and Conan in front of her, she said in a great mood, "Dad, Conan, let's go home."

Kogoro Mouri and Conan exchanged bewildered glances upon seeing this.

Although they didn't know what had happened, they were certain that something had occurred.

Kogoro Mouri had already decided in his heart that he would find an opportunity to get something out of Ran Mouri, and he absolutely could not let his daughter be kidnapped by that detective brat.

Conan, on the other hand, was thinking of contacting Chen Anxia by phone after returning home to see what had happened.

And so, the three of them, each with their own thoughts, went home together.

On the other side, Chen Anxia, ​​who left first, ripped off the human skin mask from his face when he reached a place where there were no people and no surveillance.

Looking at the human skin mask in his hand, Chen Anxia said softly, "I have memorized the entire process of disguise and built a corresponding data model."

"After that, with continuous practice and debugging of the data model, you should be able to master it perfectly..."

As he spoke, Chen Anxia saw the popular mask being stuffed into a nearby trash can, and then he left in his real form.

Since it was past midnight, there were very few pedestrians on the street, so even if Chen Anxia revealed his true form, it wouldn't attract much attention.

Hua Sheng was already waiting for Chen Anxia in his car in the parking lot.

Soon, Chen Anxia met up with Hua Sheng.

In the car, Watson was curious about what had happened that night and couldn't help but ask, "Anxia, ​​everything went smoothly tonight, right? Nothing unexpected happened?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia recalled Ran Mouri's sudden kiss and felt a headache coming on, but she calmly replied, "Ah, everything went smoothly tonight."

After hearing Chen Anxia's words, Hua Sheng simply nodded and didn't pay much attention, focusing instead on driving.

On his drive home, Watson seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Oh right, the bugging bomb sent me the latest news about Kiel."

"If all goes well, the first episode of the show 'The Other Side of the Detective,' which Kiel is preparing and planning, will officially begin filming tomorrow."

"And the protagonist of the first episode is Ran's father, Kogoro Mouri."
