Although forming a habit took his quite a bit of time.
This case has been ongoing for some time, to the point where the Police even had to seek help from the already famous Kinda Ichichi—who was, of course, more than willing to assist.
However, unexpectedly, this bad incident was actually a long-running serial murder case. The killer's vigilance and patience were so extraordinary that they had not yet brought the criminal to justice.
Nana took a deep breath, listening to the person on the other end. As the person spoke, she grew increasingly nervous. Her feet paced unconsciously, circling repeatedly, until she finally had to take a deep breath to control her emotions.
"I understand, I'm coming over right now." After the other party explained everything clearly, Nana responded immediately. After leaving that brief sentence, she hung up the phone.
She subconsciously lifted her leg, preparing to go find the Officer to explain the situation—however, before she could actually set off, she suddenly remembered something.
Then, with a sudden realization, she cast her gaze upon her boyfriend.
His boyfriend's expression looked extremely helpless.
"I've suddenly realized that I hate detectives," Yaji said with a deadpan expression.
".. Um.. this.." Nana was speechless for a moment.
She could only stand on her tiptoes to kiss her Lover's cheek, as a way to comfort her.
..
Although their time of showing affection lasted only a few short seconds, there were clearly always those who would choose to unromantically interrupt.
Regarding this matter, not only Niwang, but even Nana felt quite helpless!
—Although her name is Nana, it doesn't mean she has much patience.
Hey! Big sister!" Conan rushed over, clutching her injured arm, looked up with a childish voice, trying to act cute. "Big sister, what did you mean just now when you said 'a new victim has appeared'?
“Hmm..” Looking at the Child's innocent eyes, Nana's heart softened, she comforted him softly, “It's nothing, it's nothing.. Edogawa-kun, don't be afraid.”
The frightened Edogawa-kun: …………
Seeing the Child fall into an indescribable silence, Nana thought she had guessed correctly. She immediately smiled at the Child and tried her best to comfort her, hoping not to leave a shadow on the Child's young mind.
Although it was clear from her handling of the previous incident that the child was smart and calm.. but after all, she is just a Child..
If it's a Child, being afraid is truly nothing out of the ordinary.
Thinking of this, Nana's heart suddenly softened.
Her gaze toward Conan grew increasingly soft, the smile at the corners of her mouth became much more sincere.
“Edogawa-kun is amazing, he even saved his Companion just now!” Nana was not stingy with her praise, though she did indeed feel that the Child was quite impressive for being able to do such things: “Don't worry, this is a matter for adults; no one will let anyone hurt you!”
Conan: ……
I hate it so much.

Chapter 133: Chapter 117 In the eyes of everyone, whether surprised or indifferent..
After hurriedly explaining the situation to the Officer, it was a pleasant surprise that among the officers arriving to handle the Case, there were people who knew Nana, making everything much easier.
For a moment, Nana didn't know whether to feel happy or sad—she really didn't want this kind of familiarity that had accumulated through one murder case after another QAQ
Regardless of the circumstances, even though the cause and process were somewhat frustrating, the Result was still quite good—Nana's Statement process was incredibly swift, she was among the first of everyone to regain her freedom.
However, before leaving, she had a small dispute with her boyfriend.
"Yaji, you don't have to come with me.." the Black-haired girl said hesitantly, but behind his gentle words, his own stance remained very clear.
"What if something happens to you?" Yaji's gaze fell upon the hearing aid in his right ear.
That was an accident!" Nana's heart skipped a beat, she hurriedly changed the subject; although the matter was quite painful, she was even more unwilling to let the person by her side feel sad because of it. The Black-haired girl let out a heavy breath, forcing a smile onto his face, used it as an example to argue, "And besides, you were abroad during this time, I turned out just fine, didn't I?
“So now that I'm back, I should be by your side even more!” Yaji calmly countered his girlfriend's words.
".. But—" Nana tried to argue.
However, before she could finish his words, Niwang silenced his without a trace of emotion.
She said, "I'm worried about you, Nana."
Nana..
O.. Okay.
..
Nana, having been K. O.'ed by her boyfriend, felt nothing but regret, reluctantly led Niwang Yaji to the crime scene.
Then, he faced Kinda Ichichi's gossipy gaze.
"This is what you've been hiding deep down, Nana—ah, ow!" Kindaichi let out a barely audible cry after being stepped on hard by his junior. His junior, who was usually so respectful of his elders, wore a smile that looked exactly as it always did, yet at this moment, it looked incredibly dangerous.
“What are you saying.. Senior—" Nana smiled gently, while simultaneously giving a subtle reminder: "Is Sister Miyuki not here today?"
No.. he's not here." Kindaichi finished haltingly, but he lowered his voice, surrendering helplessly. "Can I stop asking?
Nana raised her foot calmly, as if nothing had happened—fortunately, she was not used to wearing high heels, otherwise Kindaichi's misery would have increased manifold.
Honestly," the relieved Detective complained, "You're just like a middle school girl who gets caught secretly watching adult videos right under her parents' noses.
Nana gave Kindaichi a cool glance, paused for three seconds, then turned her head away, ignoring his words as the youth opposite her looked somewhat embarrassed.
"This is my Senior, the renowned Young detective, Mr. Kindaichi." Although they were quite close, Kindaichi, who had a good temperament, wouldn't mind the occasional joke or threat, but in a formal setting, Nana was not stingy when it came to praising him.
Because he was indeed very formidable.
Although he has encountered a few too many cases, faced a few too many accidents, provoked a few too many brutal opponents..
But then again, doesn't this also reflect Kinda Ichichi's abilities, hahaha..
The young detective raised his hand to rub his head, then introduced himself with complete seriousness: "Um.. I am Kinda Ichichi."
This is my boyfriend, Niwang Yaji." Nana added with a smile in her eyes, sounding very proud, "He is a very amazing tennis player!
Yaji reached out a hand toward Kindaichi. "I'm Niwang Yaji—thank you for looking after Nana."
"Ah—Hashimoto also helped a lot." Kindaichi gave a polite smile.
However, if possible, could you please try not to encounter so many cases?" Niwang's next words were a blunt吐槽: "You're always being called away by your phone during our dates.. It's quite frustrating for me, too.
Kindaichi: …………
Nana couldn't help herself and let out a sudden burst of laughter.
Under the gazes of both parties, she composed her expression and then gave a light cough, "It hasn't happened many times, either."
The Black-haired female detective blinked her eyes and steered the conversation back to the matter at hand: "Senior, what do you mean by this new victim?"
Kindaichi opened his mouth—
"Well, well—is this the murder case you were talking about, little one?" Before Kindaichi could answer, another slightly older voice cut through the crowd and reached the ears of the people present.
Nana looked toward the sound.
That was a middle-aged man wearing a blue suit; he was quite tall, with two small mustaches on his face, his expression looked somewhat lazy.
Nana frowned slightly, hesitating as she tried to make out, "Mr. Mori Kogoro?"
"What is this?" Niwang asked softly beside him.
Mr. Mori Kogoro is also a detective." After a pause, Nana added again, "I've heard of him, but I've never dealt with him. Perhaps Senior knows?
That last sentence was aimed at Kindaichi.
Although this detective only worked part-time, he was quite famous in the industry for solving numerous strange cases; even though he didn't publicly run a similar business, he still knew many of his peers.
However, the other party's situation was clearly the same as Nana's: "I'm not quite sure; I've only heard about it recently."
He paused, then added, "In the past.. it seems Mr. Mori hasn't appeared in any major cases."
That could be considered a euphemism; essentially, he had never heard of such a person before.
A young girl was also following Mori Kogoro, looking perhaps a bit younger than Niwang, likely a high school student—or perhaps a freshman or sophomore. The girl had long hair and bangs that made his hairstyle look a bit strange; his clear eyes looked at them with a hint of apology, his lips held a polite but clearly sincere smile.
He looks like a gentle and lovely girl from next door.
It is most likely Mr. Mori's daughter, Mori Ran.
Beside the girl was the elementary student with eyeglasses that Nana had seen before.
Edogawa-kun??" Nana murmured his name, her tone sounding quite helpless. "Didn't I tell you not to get involved in dangerous situations?
.. Um.. well.." As soon as she appeared, Conan's lips twitched imperceptibly. He replied in a childish voice, "Uncle Mori is a very amazing detective! I'll be fine following them!
—That is on the condition that he would obediently follow Uncle Mori, but thinking about it, it is impossible.
But there's no need to tell the Sister across from him that last sentence.
"The Sister opposite" sighed, then cast an inquiring look toward Kindaichi.
The latter was clearly quite carefree and remained noncommittal about it; instead, he was quite interested in the recently famous Mori Kogoro and issued an invitation on the spot: "In that case, everyone, come over."
Since things had already come to this, Nana did not intend to stop them, could only try her best to look after the Child.
She turned her head toward Kinda Ichichi, her voice a mix of apology and explanation: "I'm sorry for making you wait, Senior.. I ran into some issues when I received the Phone.. It looks like I've brought that Child along as well."
Even though it was unintentional—but it must be said, Nana, your choice of words is truly quite accurate.
Kindaichi, who knew nothing of this, shook his head. "It's nothing. However, it seems they aren't the only ones who followed you."
“What?” Nana was slightly taken aback, her green eyes widening slightly. “How could that be?”
Kindaichi tilted his head slightly, signaling to Nana with his eyes.
The black-haired black-eyed youth, whom he had previously seen on the tram, was standing with one hand in his pocket, casually scanning his surroundings. As if sensing Kindaichi's gaze, the youth's black eyes lifted slightly, he looked over with an air of indifference.
