Chapter 153

Xiang Fei walked up to Mao Li Lan.

With a teasing look on her face:

"My daughter has quite a good eye!"

"I heard that murderer's abilities are not weak..."

"Hoshino Ki subdued him with his bare hands!"

Mao Li Lan heard her own mother mocking her like this.

She instantly bristled.

"Mom!"

Her cheeks turned red.

"What do you say, Hoshino Ki? Do you want to take this kid as your apprentice?"

Inspector Megure asked.

Hoshino Ki looked at Kenichi, who was kneeling before him.

On the surface, this boy looked completely unremarkable.

But just now, when he was kowtowing, Hoshino Ki had noticed...

His head was unusually hard!

To be able to make such a loud sound and cause the sandy ground to tremble...

He definitely wasn't an ordinary person.

At the very least, he should possess some extraordinary ability in certain aspects.

Therefore.

Hoshino Ki decided...

"What is your full name?"

His cold, clear voice landed heavily on the back of Kenichi's head.

Upon hearing Hoshino Ki's voice, Kenichi was unexpectedly stunned in place.

He had originally thought that someone as powerful as Hoshino Ki would usually be very arrogant.

And would not look favorably upon a useless, ordinary person like him...

But he didn't expect him to actually ask for his name!

"Hey! Kid, answer him!"

Mori Kogoro reminded him anxiously from the side.

Kenichi looked up at Hoshino Ki as if waking from a dream.

The determination in his eyes was revealed.

He said anxiously:

"I am Sakamoto! Sakamoto Kenichi!"

"..."

Hoshino Ki's pitch-black, deep eyes stared straight at Sakamoto Kenichi.

"!!!"

A few beads of sweat dripped from Sakamoto Kenichi's forehead.

Facing Hoshino Ki's gaze.

He couldn't handle it!

"May I ask..."

"You may!"

Hoshino Ki shifted his gaze instantly.

Relieving the pressure on Sakamoto Kenichi.

"Is this for real?"

Sakamoto Kenichi muttered to himself...

It felt as if this were just a dream.

Hoshino Ki had actually agreed so easily?

"Hahaha! This kid is stunned!"

Mori Kogoro mercilessly mocked him from the side.

Miyano Akemi placed the home address into Sakamoto Kenichi's palm.

Then she looked at him with a smile:

"Welcome to the team!"

"Is it really... okay?"

Sakamoto Kenichi looked up at Hoshino Ki again.

He wanted to confirm again and again whether this was real.

"Yes!"

Hoshino Ki nodded slightly at him.

Sakamoto Kenichi took the contact address from Miyano Akemi's hand.

He was extremely excited.

Looking at the gentle and beautiful Miyano Akemi in front of him.

And then looking at the exquisite and gentle Mao Li Lan on the side.

A flash of inspiration hit him, and he blurted out:

"Thank you, Master! And... which of you two is my Mistress!?"

"Ah!"

Miyano Akemi's cheeks turned bright red instantly.

She stood there, cupping her face, at a loss for what to do.

Looking at Mao Li Lan, she was the same.

"Pfft, hahaha! I didn't expect this kid to be quite worldly-wise!"

Mori Kogoro leaned on Inspector Megure's shoulder, laughing heartily.

"Hahaha, this is truly a huge misunderstanding!"

Inspector Megure also had a smiling face.

He looked back and forth between Hoshino Ki and Miyano Akemi.

After some thought, he said:

"But looking at their appearances, you really can't tell they are siblings!"

"Actually, Ai looks quite like Hoshino Ki..."

"Looking at it this way, the three siblings look like a standard family of three."

Mao Li Lan said:

"They really do look alike. Ai is just like the child of Akemi and Hoshino Ki..."

She bent down and stared intently at Haibara Ai's cheeks.

"..."

Because of Mao Li Lan's sudden proximity.

Haibara Ai's ice-blue eyes shrank slightly.

She grabbed Hoshino Ki's shorts tightly.

Her footsteps involuntarily retreated.

Hoshino Ki gently supported her with his palm.

Helping Haibara Ai stand more steadily.

After Hoshino Ki's treatment, her leg could barely walk on the ground.

It was only slightly dislocated.

It would be fine after resting for a period of time.

Fortunately, it didn't damage any tendons or bones.

Otherwise, surgery would have been necessary.

“How annoying, I keep hearing people say that.”

Miyano Akemi smiled with a hint of awkwardness.

Although it wasn't very obvious.

But one could always sense that she was both happy and disappointed.

Happy because someone said she and Hoshino Ki were a married couple.

Disappointed because what they presented to the outside world was a sibling relationship.

Conan and Haibara Ai both looked at her with helpless expressions.

Their eyes had already turned into half-moons.

“Hehe...”

Mouri Ran looked at Miyano Akemi’s strange expression and fell into deep thought.

“Ran! What’s wrong?”

Kisaki Eri came to Mouri Ran’s side and asked.

“It’s nothing!”

Mouri Ran shook her head slightly.

Kisaki Eri followed Mouri Ran’s gaze and glanced at Miyano Akemi.

She said:

“Are you afraid that Mr. Hoshino will be snatched away?”

“Eh?”

Mouri Ran was puzzled.

“Mom!”

Mouri Ran’s cheeks turned bright red.

She felt shy because of what her mother had said.

Because Sakamoto Kenichi had to handle the matter of his close friend’s passing.

He excused himself and left first.

Inspector Megure also had to be busy handling official business at the crime scene.

So he said goodbye to everyone and went to get busy.

The remaining people all returned to the hotel.

Although there was no beach or sunshine inside the hotel.

They could still enjoy the rest of their vacation indoors.

The dining table was filled with a dazzling array of food.

Mouri Kogoro had already gotten drunk before he even started eating.

So he went back to his room to sleep.

Kisaki Eri held her coffee.

She rested her chin on her hand, turned her head, and looked at Mouri Ran:

“Ran! If I divorce him, who would you want to live with?”

“I...”

Mouri Ran was slightly startled; she was a bit hesitant.

It seemed her parents already had their own decision.

“I’ll go with Mom...”

“Oh? That’s a bit unexpected; I thought you would choose him.”

Kisaki Eri placed the coffee in her hand on the table in surprise.

“Well! After all, Mom has always been by herself...”

Mouri Ran held the drink in her hands.

Her thoughts were a bit chaotic.

She lowered her head, knowing that this matter was already a foregone conclusion.

So she stopped struggling with it.

She looked up at Kisaki Eri again:

“Conan is with Dad, so it should be fine!”

After eating and drinking well, everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest.

After washing up, Hoshino Ki lay on the bed.

In his hand, he held the blood extracted from the murderer’s heart.

He had discovered it while unilaterally “abusing” the murderer.

The murderer seemed to have an inexhaustible amount of energy in his body.

Even after knocking him down, he would still suddenly charge at him.

Even if all of the murderer’s limbs were broken.

He would still use his head to attack.

But it wasn't that there was no way to deal with him.

Only by attacking the chest area would his movements temporarily slow down.

This proved that the “key” that turned the murderer into a perpetual motion machine was in his heart.

What exactly happened behind this murderer?

And which party’s interests were involved in creating such a “monster”?
