Kogoro knew something was going on, and he did not like it.

Conan and Ran have been acting strangely, and their eyes showed some sort of emotions Kogoro couldn't figure out, but he knew it had to do with how Ran and Conan were leaving the agency frequently, meeting up and talking with Hattori, Sera, Hakuba, Kyogoku and Kuroba.

Kogoro found it strange how Kyogoku suddenly stopped traveling and how Hakuba was suddenly friends with his daughter, when he knew she literally met him two times, and whatever brought Kuroba back to Beika? Didn't Chikage say back then she and Kaito will never be back to Beika.

Kogoro snapped out of his thoughts once he heard someone opening the agency's door and in walked Wakita Kanenori with a wide smile on his face, "Kogoro-shishou!".

"Hello, Wakita-san.", Kogoro nodded, "Anything I can help you with?".

"Oh? Are you busy?", Wakita asked curiously but Kogoro caught a certain glint in his eyes that alerted him to the man's hidden intentions, a dangerous glint.

"It's nothing, some wife wants me to investigate her husband's life, since he hasn't contacted her in three months.", Kogoro lied smoothly.

"Oh, a cheating husband's case then.", Wakita said with a smile before he looked around and asked, "Where are Conan-kun and Ran-san? I don't see them often.".

Again, Kogoro was alerted to the man's question, especially that he was asking about both Ran and Conan.

"I'm the one who told them to leave often, since they remain preoccupied with me here, and don't get to hangout with their friends. Last I heard from Ran, she'd had gone with Conan to visit a friend in Osaka.", Kogoro lied again.

"Interesting.", Wakita mumbled, and Kogoro did not miss the look of disappointment on his face for a second before he placed the food plate he'd brought for Mouri, "I've made this for you, Shishou, and I just came to check on you!".

"See you later!", Wakita said before he left the agency. Kogoro glanced at the agency's window, watching as the man walked further away from the agency, and he spotted him entering, at the end of the street, a black car, and in the backseat, before the car drove off.

"Like Hell you came to check on me.", Kogoro spat as he threw the plate in the bin, "How do I even know this ain't poisoned?",

'He's been coming often and asking mainly about Ran or Conan or both, this man is suspicious and not what he says he is... and that look in his eyes when he tried to know what I was investigating...', Kogoro thought before he picked up his phone and sent a text message as he thought, 'Wakita Kanenori... is just an anagram of Time is Money...'.

Eri, we need to meet some in the outdoors. It's about Ran and the brat, and about them.

Only a second passed before he received an answer.

Meet me in 30 minutes in the park next to me.
