Chapter 108 Xiao Ai: I have figured out Tanigawa
After Tanigawa came back, the six of them wandered around the department store together.

Tanigawa was having a lot of fun, but Ai kept yawning out of boredom, and Kogoro Mori was forcing a smile to keep them company.

"Mr. Maori, you come here for a mission, right?" Tanigawa asked in a low voice.

Maori Kogoro said with a fake smile: "Don't worry about it, Master Absolut."

As a member brought into the organization by Gin, his attitude towards members who don't get along with Gin should be lukewarm or even a little distant, right?
"Don't be so distant, I really want you to work for me." Tanigawa patted Kogoro Mori's shoulder enthusiastically.

After walking around for a while, Xiao Ai tugged at the corner of Tanigawa's clothes.

"Should we go home?" It's so boring to hang out with Tanigawa. Next time, I must be the one to decide the place and the project.

"Ran, it's time for us to go home too." said Kogoro Mouri.

"Okay." Xiaolan said with some regret.

"Tanigawa, how did you and Ai get here?" asked Xiaolan.

"I brought Ai here on a motorcycle. The motorcycle is parked in the underground garage." Tanigawa said, touching Ai's head.

Tanigawa, Kogoro Mori and others were walking towards the underground garage. When they arrived there, they heard a sharp scream.

"what!"

Tanigawa and Maori Kogoro looked at each other, Maori Kogoro showed an expression that he had everything under control. But the panic and discomfort in his eyes still betrayed him.

"Hello, is this the police station? I'm in the underground parking lot of Dongdu Department Store in Beihu Town. Someone is dead in a car. It seems he was strangled." The person who opened the door of the Porsche immediately called the police.

At halftime, Xingya was strangled to death in the car, and Tanigawa poked Ai on the back with his hand.

Xiao Ai pushed Tanigawa's hand away in dissatisfaction. I'm not a real child. Would I hide in your arms like I did before?

Tanigawa poked Ai's arm with his hand in dissatisfaction again.

Xiao Ai pushed Tanigawa's hand away again and said, "Don't go too far, you guy."

Tanigawa went straight to the rescue and picked up Ai.

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Ai, your brother is here."

Xiao Ai struggled in Tanigawa's arms in shame and anger. You know I'm not a child anymore, so why are you still like this?

Tanigawa put his mouth close to Ai's ear and said, "I'm doing this to help you hide your identity. It's inevitable that a child would be scared when seeing a dead body. With the way Conan is acting, it's only a matter of time before his identity is exposed."

"Don't you think that Judy is weird? Actually, I also think there's something wrong with her. Maybe she's a member of the organization who came from somewhere else. So, Ai-chan, you don't want Judy to guess your true identity, right?"

After hearing what Tanigawa said, Ai simply stopped struggling.

Anyway, she was already in his arms, so there was no need to struggle, just let it be. Ai was silent in Tanigawa's arms, and the detective Kogoro Mori had gone to protect the scene.

Soon, the police car arrived at the department store.

"The deceased is Mr. Hanba Yukiya, 41 years old. The cause of death was suffocation, and judging from the marks left on his neck, the murder weapon seemed to be a very thin wire-like object," said Takagi.

"Why don't we go home before the police come." said Ai in Tanigawa's arms.

"As one of the first people to discover the deceased, the police will call us even if we go home, so it's better not to go back," said Tanigawa.

Xiao Ai nodded expressionlessly.

What you said makes sense, but I still feel that you just want to hug me a little longer.

Damn lolita, I have figured you out a long time ago.

"Put me down." Xiao Ai said.

"Aren't you afraid after I let you down?" Tanigawa asked.

"I'm scared enough." Ai jumped off Tanigawa's body and felt the soft thing in her arms disappear. Tanigawa lingered on the feeling just now.

"How did I complete this mission?" asked Kogoro Mori when he walked up to Tanigawa.

"Half-time is my mission goal this time."

Kogoro Mouri has already accepted his Grim Reaper physique and can't understand why the targets of his missions always die suddenly, but this physique will allow him to survive in the criminal organization without actually getting his hands dirty with blood.

"This is different from your previous method." Tanigawa yawned.

"What's the difference?" Kogoro Mouri's forehead was covered with sweat.

Could it be that my abnormality has been discovered?

No way? Would anyone believe that I have such a weird physique?
"Didn't you always reveal the murderer you led in the past and put an end to the case? Why did you let the criminal go this time?"

Without Conan around, Kogoro Mouri turned back into that third-rate detective.

After some random identification with Inspector Megure, the real murderer was not found, and the murder theories and evidence he put forward were so ridiculous.

Maori Kogoro wiped the sweat from his head and said, "I just want Master Absolut to guess who the murderer I'm looking for this time is."

Tanigawa smiled in an ambiguous way, "It's Miss Taishan. Do you need me to explain her modus operandi?"

"No, thanks." Kogoro Mouri said calmly.

Tanigawa yawned, took Xiaoai's hand and said, "Xiaoai, let's go back."

"Okay." Xiao Ai nodded.

"What did you say to Maori Kogoro just now?"

"Scare him." Tanigawa said with evil humor.

"Ok?"

Tanigawa got on his motorcycle, turned around and whispered to Ai, "Mouri Kogoro actually has the same physique as Conan. Gin thought he was a criminal planner, so he was pulled into the organization by mistake. I pointed out his identity and almost scared him to death."

Xiao Ai felt her mind was a little confused.

The physique that would cause death wherever one goes is already extremely outrageous, and it turns out that more than one person has this outrageous physique.

Japan's population is growing so slowly, and Maori and Conan are a big reason for this.

"Then will you tell Kogoro Mouri your identity?" Ai asked with interest.

What would be Kogoro Mori's expression if he knew that Shinichi Kudo and his daughter had been eating and living together?

"No, I promised Conan that I would not reveal his identity to outsiders." Tanigawa said with a smile. He, Tanigawa, was famous for keeping his promises.

Xiao Ai smiled. She understood that if Kogoro Mori knew about it, there would be less fun to watch.

"Then will you tell Conan that Maori Kogoro is a member of the organization?"

"If Conan asks me, I will tell him." Tanigawa said. But how could Conan suspect that his future father-in-law was a member of the organization?

Xiao Ai smiled innocently. She understood that it would be more fun if Conan discovered the matter himself.

……

Kogoro Mori was sweating profusely as he searched for the real murderer.

Tanigawa said that Miss Taishan was the real murderer. How did he know that?

If I can't find the murderer, will he suspect me?
