This is a gesture made by Hiromitsu Morofushi to express certainty.
Backtracking too much, Ichijō Mirai was impressed by the NPC who shot so well that the players couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and move away, but he wasn't sure if he was doing it right.
He observes the reactions of child.
When she saw Ichijō Mirai's sign language, the child's eyes lit up, and she stopped struggling, and obediently shrank into the clerk's arms, nodding her head vigorously while making the exact same gesture and showing a big smile.
It seems to be the right move.
Ichijō Mirai nodded and turned to Suzuki Sonoko, "Are you done shopping?"
Suzuki Sonoko subconsciously looked to Mouri Ran for help, but tried to laugh as if nothing had happened, "Hahaha, I don't think I found what I was looking for... Never mind... I'll look again next time."
Among the shelves, Mouri Korogō came out holding a bunch of stuff, "Hey, what are you doing in here?"
He puts everything on the front counter, compliments coming out of his mouth, "Is this your daughter? She looks so cute. She's so young and innocent."
"Don't have any male friends her own age, do you? Be careful!"
"My daughter is also very cute at this time of the year, just like an innocent little angel, but because she wasn't vigilant, she was caught by that kid..."
Mouri Korogō grits his teeth and pays the bill with a curse.
The ride back was uneventful, with not a single red light.
After stopping in front of the dessert store and watching his dangerous companion get out of the car, Mouri Korogō was in a better mood and took a nice detour to drop off Suzuki Sonoko.
People's sorrows and joys don't go hand in hand.
As happy as Mouri Korogō was, Suzuki Sonoko was so depressed that she threw her arms around Mouri Ran and wailed, "Oooh!"
Mouri Ran had no choice but to rub Suzuki Sonoko's head and reassure her, "It's okay, there's always next time."
"Mr. Mirai doesn't seem to reject you, he has a good impression of you."
Although...
She added quietly, "Although Ichijō Mirai seems to treat everyone the same, no matter who they are, he always has the same friendly attitude.
He's a great person to get along with, but as a crush, he's obviously a big challenge.
"I feel like he doesn't have a good impression of me. He seems to have trouble dealing with people who are too proactive?" Suzuki Sonoko stared at a TV in a convenience store outside the car window. "Hey, isn't that Prime Minister Uemoto?"
Mouri Ran looks over and confirms in a quick glance, "That's him."
Conan looks over, "Prime Minister Uemoto, who was involved in a terrorist attack ten years ago?"
"Yes," Suzuki Sonoko nodded, speaking as a matter of course, "How else could I recognize him? The congressmen on TV all look the same, always middle-aged men in black suits and thick wigs."
"Prime Minister Uemoto is the most recognizable."
Because, "It was ten years ago, wasn't it?"
Suzuki Sonoko recalled, "I remember it was after the haunted house shooting, Prime Minister Uemoto was a member of parliament at the time, and when he went to make a public apology, he was attacked by a terrorist, which left his left arm injured and unusable, leaving a long scar on his face, and one of his eyes was lost, so he had to wear an eyepatch."
The blindfold was the key to Suzuki Sonoko's identification of Prime Minister Uemoto.
Conan listened to Suzuki Sonoko's tone and nodded to confirm, "Yes, there were several snipers sniping at him at the time, and if Prime Minister Uemoto hadn't been interested in magic and had specialized in it..."
In the middle of his sentence, he stopped abruptly and looked up in a cold sweat.
As expected.
Suzuki Sonoko wondered, "Hey, how do you know so much about it? You weren't even born yet, were you?"
Mouri Ran wondered, "Prime Minister Uemoto learned how to fake his own death to scare people because of his magic skills, so the fact that he faked his own death on the spot and escaped was only announced in the first press release, wasn't it? It was never mentioned again because it was a disgrace."
"Where did you find out?"
Because the first news was so big, Kudō Shinichi watched it!
Conan's mouth is agape, "Brother Shinichi told me!"
He's not hesitant to bring up a topic that's sure to grab the attention of the audience, "Oh, yeah! Sister Sonoko, you're not even looking at handsome Brother Minagawa today!"
Every breath was punctuated with a tense exclamation point.
Attention was successfully diverted.
Mouri Ran inquired hesitantly, "I find it strange too, Sonoko, do you think Mr. Minagawa is handsome?"
"I remember when we first met, you complimented him on how handsome he was, but I can't believe I haven't paid much attention to him today."
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko responded, "Because Mr. Mirai is the most handsome!"
The real question is: don't you always like handsome guys, and you're so devoted that even if there are two handsome guys in your field of vision, you'll pay attention to both of them at the same time? Why are you only interested in one this time?
She then organized her words to answer the real question, "Also, Mr. Mirai is very different."
"I used to get excited and my heart would beat faster when I saw handsome guys, but the first time I saw Mr. Mirai, I felt as if my heart was beating faster not because I saw a handsome guy, but..."
"It was my heart beating for Mr. Mirai."
It was a feeling that was hard to describe, Suzuki Sonoko herself couldn't even understand it, but could only laugh dryly and meet Mouri Ran's surprised expression, "It's a strange feeling, isn't it? Hahaha."
"And,"
She reached out and pressed her hand to her chest, feeling the beating of her heart, "It's just a normal rhythmic beat."
"It feels very much like a heartbeat, and it seems to be beating, but there's still something missing from the moment when the heart really beats, maybe it's time, maybe it's distance, maybe it's an event..."
Suzuki Sonoko's voice was getting lower and lower as she pressed her chest, and it took a few seconds for her to realize that she was surprised by what she had just muttered in frustration, "What a strange thought!"
She shook off the strange feeling and smiled, "But Mr. Mirai is indeed a strange man."
"His last name is 'Ichijō'!"
There's a difference between people.
If any other adult male was called 'Mirai', Suzuki Sonoko would have looked him up and down in surprise, and sympathetically asked if his parents actually wanted to have an innocent and cute daughter.
But when Ichijō Mirai was called 'Mirai', Suzuki Sonoko would just marvel at him with her heart and eyes, saying 'What a handsome name, it's worthy of Mr. Mirai!
She had no problem with the name 'Mirai'.
Just, "Ichi, jō, Mi, rai."
Suzuki Sonoko pronounced the name slowly, "What a sad, heavy name."
Mouri Ran: "Huh?"
She was confused, "Sad, heavy?"
Shouldn't it be just strange, where's the sadness and heaviness?
"It's just sad, heavy," Suzuki Sonoko looked out the rear window, looking backward, toward the traffic, "so sad that when I heard Mr. Mirai's full name, I didn't even dare to make a warm conversation, so sad."
"It feels like it means 'there's only one future'."
She held out her hand, "Look, there's a lot of cars out there, all kinds of cars, not just colors, but models and people in them, like all kinds of futures."
"But there's only one car that belongs to us."
"I wonder what kind of future Mr. Mirai chose out of all the futures..."
Suzuki Sonoko smiles and winks, "So heavy."
Ichijō Mirai is relaxed.
He walks up the stairs with light steps, enters the game in a happy mood, cheerfully selects [Organization Newcomer], and can't wait to cheer to Gin, "Long time no see."
And after only a second of politeness, "Mission?"
It's time to kill the party and alleviate the Japanese Police's 'Are you polite? question to the Japanese Police.'
Gin: "..."
I just hung up the phone with this guy who's full of shit, can't speak a word of human language, doesn't have a single thing in his body that matches 'high moral sense' except for his own name, and has the face to hang a wooden sign that he can't wait to get his hands on some blood.
Shouldn't this kind of thing really be labeled [Demon] on the file?
He held back, and he held back, and he held back, and he held back.
Finally, he couldn't help laughing in anger, and said to Ichijō Mirai, the shameless guy who said "Long time no see, mission?" three seconds after hanging up the phone: "You said, have you improved your shooting skills?"
"Yes."
"There's an urgent mission that you need to handle, which happens to be caused by you, I'll tell the main person in charge of the mission."
Gin named the taskmaster, "Rum."
The target of the mission is "Uemoto Tarō."
