Afterwards, Conan called his father, Yusaku Kudo, the world's leading mystery novelist.
Not long ago, Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo made a special trip back to Japan to find a safe place for Conan after he shrunk in size. They hope that Shinichi Kudo can return to the United States with them so that they can take care of Conan's safety.
However, Conan rejected the proposal for many reasons, the most important of which was naturally Ran Mouri.
Although Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo were worried, they respected their son's choice.
Afterwards, Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo returned to the United States.
The reason why Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo did not stay in Japan is because Yusaku Kudo has cultivated a lot of connections and resources in the United States over the years.
Yusaku Kudo was naturally very concerned about his son. As soon as he returned to the United States, he used his connections to start investigating the Black Organization and the mysterious capsule that shrunk Conan.
However, the Black Organization was extremely well hidden, and the FBI in the United States classified information related to it as confidential, so even Yusaku Kudo was unable to trace the relevant information for a while.
In this situation, Yusaku Kudo received a transoceanic phone call from Conan, learning about the information about the Black Organization that Chen Anxia had overheard, as well as Conan's concerns.
At that moment, Yusaku Kudo made a reasoning analysis that was basically the same as Chen Anxia's, so Conan didn't need to worry.
After hanging up Conan's call, Yusaku Kudo's expression became extremely serious, and he murmured, "Chen Anxia...did you really overhear that by accident?"
"besides..."
As he spoke, Yusaku Kudo glanced at the latest information he had received, his expression grave, lost in thought.
After a long silence, Kudo Yusaku picked up the notebook on the table and wrote down an important piece of information.
"A mysterious organization using various liquor names as code names—perhaps it could be called...a distillery!"
On the other side, in Beika Town, an island nation, at night.
After nearly an hour's drive, Chen Anxia and the others finally arrived at the luxury apartment where Yoko Okino lived.
After getting off the bus, Chen Anxia, Conan, and Watson saw Kogoro Mouri, who looked utterly devastated and utterly hopeless.
Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Ran-neechan, what's wrong with Uncle?"
Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri first glanced at Chen Anxia next to Conan, a strange look flashing in her eyes. Then she squatted down and whispered something in Conan's ear.
The next moment, Conan exclaimed in astonishment, "Eh!? They kissed?"
Chen Anxia, who was initially curious, immediately understood what Conan was saying and a playful expression appeared on her face.
Given that Kogoro Mouri is a huge fan of Yoko Okino, it's not surprising that he reacted that way after learning that Yoko Okino had kissed him first.
Kogoro Mouri, who was already feeling gloomy, felt as if his heart had been pierced by several invisible arrows after hearing Conan's call, and he became even more listless.
Afterwards, led by Yoko Okino, whose face was flushed and who kept glancing at Chen Anxia behind her, the group arrived at Yoko Okino's home on the 25th floor of the luxury apartment building.
At this moment, Kogoro Mouri had not yet recovered and was still shrouded in gloom.
Actually, not to mention Kogoro Mouri, even Conan is very envious and jealous of Chen Anxia.
After all, Yoko Okino is a stunning beauty who rivals Ran Mouri, and coupled with her celebrity aura and star quality...
How could anyone not be envious and jealous that Chen Anxia was kissed by such a beautiful woman?
Of course, Chen Anxia's own qualities are no less than those of Yoko Okino.

Because of Chen Anxia's group, this time Yoko Okino opened the door without hesitation or fear.
Yoko Okino never expected that what she would see when she opened her front door would be...
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Amidst Yoko Okino's terrified screams, Chen Anxia and his group saw a man lying face down on the ground with a kitchen knife stuck in his back.
Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia, Conan, and Watson were the first to rush forward and begin checking on the man's condition.
Immediately afterward, Kogoro Mouri, realizing what was happening, shouted to Ran Mouri, "Ran, quickly call an ambulance and the police!"
As he spoke, Kogoro Mouri rushed forward to check on the man's condition.
Before Kogoro Mouri even arrived, Chen Anxia said in a deep voice, "No need to call an ambulance, he's already dead!"

“Dead…dead!?”
Kogoro Mouri, Yoko Okino, Ran Mouri, and Yoko Okino's manager were all shocked when they heard Chen Anxia's words.
Among them, the most panicked were Yoko Okino and her manager. They never imagined that someone would die in Yoko Okino's house.
Yoko Okino's manager, however, was thinking much more deeply than Yoko Okino herself, knowing that if news broke that Yoko Okino was involved in the murder, it could very well affect her career prospects.
Therefore, Yoko Okino's manager is already thinking about how to prevent this news from being leaked, and what to do if the news is leaked.
Because this was the scene of a primary homicide, and transportation and communication were readily available, everyone left Yoko Okino's apartment after confirming the victim's death, and waited for the police to arrive.
If Chen Anxia and others want to get involved in this case, they must obtain the police's permission.
If someone enters the scene of a primary homicide without police permission, they could potentially destroy clues and face legal consequences.
While everyone waited anxiously and worriedly, Chen Anxia simply leaned against the wall and silently closed her eyes.
In the short time it took to enter the scene of the first murder, Chen Anxia used his terrifying insight to scan everything visible at the scene.
At this moment, Chen Anxia was building a retrospective scenario model in his mind, converting everything he had observed into data, and performing hypercomputation.
"A corpse lying face down, fully clothed..."
"A kitchen knife on the corpse's back..."
"The corpse was clutching hair in its left hand that was the same color as Yoko Okino's hair..."
"The heating in the room is set abnormally high..."
"And despite the unusually high temperature, there were still several streaks of water that hadn't evaporated beside the corpse..."
"That strange dent in the water stain..."
"The living room items were all scattered, like the work of a burglar, but among them, one chair was placed perfectly square..."
......
After converting this information into data, the scene model that Chen Anxia constructed gradually became clearer.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Anxia began to replay the scene again and again.
In the first scene replay, Chen Anxia assumed that the murderer was Yoko Okino.
Scene replay begins.
Yoko Okino discovers the body that has secretly entered her home, and recalling the recent surveillance incidents, she is filled with fear.
Out of fear, Yoko Okino picked up a kitchen knife, but was discovered by the deceased, and the two then fought, which resulted in the mess of the living room items.
During this process, the deceased grabbed Yoko Okino's hair, while Yoko Okino stabbed the deceased in the back, causing the deceased to fall to the ground and die.
Then, after realizing that she had unintentionally killed the victim, Yoko Okino, overwhelmed by her inner turmoil, picked up the chair that had fallen over and slumped down on it.
After watching the scene replay from God's perspective, Chen Anxia frowned.
Although this scene replay seems reasonable, it has many illogical aspects.
If we think about it simply, if Yoko Okino really did accidentally kill the victim, would she really have picked up the chair and sat down again under such a huge shock?
Unless, this was a premeditated murder.
Only in this way could Yoko Okino possibly be able to pick up the chair and sit back down after committing murder.
But if it really was a premeditated murder, then the handling of the scene was far too imperfect and unreasonable.
If the murderer really is Yoko Okino, then the only time Yoko Okino could have committed the crime was in front of today's reality show.
This means that Yoko Okino had plenty of time to organize the crime scene.
In this situation, the hair the corpse was clutching in its left hand, and the very unusual chair, would not be there.
Furthermore, if Yoko Okino really is the murderer, then why did she invite Chen Anxia? Was she confident that her method of committing the crime would not be discovered?
Besides that, there's Yoko Okino's expression and reaction.
If Yoko Okino really did commit murder before participating in the show's recording, then with Chen Anxia's insight, he should have been able to detect something amiss from Yoko Okino's expression and reaction.
But Chen Anxia didn't. In Chen Anxia's view, Yoko Okino had no idea that the deceased had died in her own home.
Of course, Yoko Okino's facial expressions and reactions can only serve as supplementary evidence and cannot directly prove that Yoko Okino is without suspicion.
Chen Anxia was not arrogant enough to believe that his insight could see through the hearts of everyone in the world.
The world is so big, there will always be some people who can completely 'fool' Chen Anxia's insight.
Having silently rejected the first scene replay in her mind, Chen Anxia immediately began the second scene replay.
In the second flashback, Chen Anxia still identified Yoko Okino as the murderer, and the deceased as the person who had recently been monitoring Yoko Okino.
Scene replay begins.
The deceased assumed that no one was home at Yoko Okino's house, so he sneaked in and started searching for something, which made the living room messy.
However, the deceased never expected that Yoko Okino would be at home and discover him.
Afterwards, overwhelmed with fear, Yoko Okino secretly picked up a kitchen knife, stealthily approached the deceased, and stabbed him.
After being stabbed, the victim realized what was happening, desperately turned around and grabbed Yoko Okino's hair before collapsing to the ground and dying.
After watching the scene replay from God's perspective, Chen Anxia secretly shook his head and directly rejected the scene replay.
Because the irrationality of this scene replay is even more obvious.
Firstly, if the deceased had indeed sneaked into Yoko Okino's house looking for something, he certainly wouldn't have made such a mess of it.
Otherwise, once Yoko Okino gets home, she will immediately understand what happened and will definitely call the police.
This outcome is certainly not what the person who was secretly monitoring Yoko Okino's death would have wanted to see.
Secondly, there are still inconsistencies regarding the timing and location of Yoko Okino's crime.
In this replay of the scene, nothing could be explained, not even the square chair, the water stains around the deceased, the strange indentation in the water stains, or the unusually high temperature of the heating.
Thirdly, there was the hair that the deceased was holding with his left hand.
