Chapter Thirty-Eight.
Late at night, Xiao Ai lay on the bed in Yukiko's room.
Kudo Shinichi's bed was basically unsleepable, and without Mao Lilan regularly helping him clean, wash clothes, and make the bed, his home would be no different from a doghouse.
Yukiko's room was the only place where she could sleep. There was a little girl lying on the couple's double bed, and she could roll around a few times without falling to the ground.
According to the eavesdropping in the afternoon, Yukiko has a close relationship with Mouri Kousei, and Kousei is called "Teacher". Even the place where Yukiko lives at this moment is provided by Mouri Kousei.
Consider Kudo Shinichi's situation again. There were unwashed dishes in the kitchen for at least two weeks, there was a thick layer of dust on the floor and table, and the bathroom was extremely messy.
Haibara Ai fully understood Yukiko's reluctance to come back to take care of Kudo Shinichi. If the residence provided by Mouri Kousei was of higher quality, she would naturally choose the accommodation provided by Mouri Kousei.
Just like Lanzhai.
It was only a once-in-a-lifetime stay, and compared to what Haibara Ai once thought was the luxurious Kudo House, it was obvious that the Lan House prepared by Mouri Kousei for Mouri Ran was superior.
A high-end apartment close to Didan School District, with convenient transportation. The two-story duplex building is spacious, bright and clean. The house design and furniture and equipment are all top-notch configurations.
"Why don't you give me a younger brother like this? I am so pampered by younger brothers in this world. I really envy Mao Lilan."
Express your envy directly in words.
Haibara Ai must admit in some aspects that Mouri Kousei may be more perfect than Kudo Shinichi, whether as a boyfriend, lover, or younger brother.
"There's something really wrong with Kudo Shinichi!"
If he were a child, Xiao Ai could understand Edogawa's behavior. Because he is a child, he cannot do many things and must rely on others.
Mao Lilan takes care of her in daily life. When she needs to handle cases, she uses anesthesia needles, and uses Maori Kogoro to complete reasoning, as well as the tools provided by Dr. Agasa as assistance.
People really treat him as a child, but forget that he is a seventeen-year-old high school student.
Just like Gentai Mitsuhiko said, Conan always acts coquettishly towards Maori Ran, and even things that are extremely abnormal in the eyes of a seven-year-old child often happen to Edogawa.
"It's like peeling off the shell of disguise and seeing a different truth. This truth was once regarded as a picture of love. Now when I think about it again, it is extremely disgusting and disgusting."
Haibara Ai is playing the first few episodes of the detective show. Kudo Shinichi has a proud expression on his face as he proves the murderer. He is praised and flattered by the people around him and accepts love letters, flowers, hugs and passionate kisses from some bold girls.
If it were Edogawa, all he would get were hugs and cheek kisses from Ayumi Yoshida.
"Something's wrong. Kudo Shinichi's development has obviously gone out of control now. However, in the previous period, Kudo Shinichi was extremely smooth, as if he was being protected..."
"It's impossible for Kudo Yusaku, he's always winning awards... It's impossible for Yukiko, her character is definitely a freewheeling type... It's impossible for Mao Lilan, it's obvious that Mao Lilan has been taking care of Mao Lilan..."
He was the only one left.
Picking up the phone from the side, Haibara Ai easily found Mouri Kousei's name and pressed the dial button.
But after making the call, I began to regret it.
It's so late, the other party should have fallen asleep.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ai was ready to hang up the phone. After all, not everyone is like herself, a night owl who can't sleep late at night.
“Beep beep—doop beep—!”
"Good night, my dear Princess, do you need me to tell you a bedtime story when you call me so late?"
It's a frivolous tune, but it also has an intimate tone.
When talking, you can hear the chair squeaking as a result of stretching, and the sound of the pulley rolling on the floor. It is obvious that the other person has not slept yet, and is sitting on the computer chair busy working.
Seeing that the other party answered her call late at night, Xiao Ai chose to forgive the frivolous tone of the other party.
"Your Highness the Princess is Mao Lilan, I can't bear it!"
Forgiveness is a hat thing.
Xiao Ai's task is to challenge the opponent to wear a hat, and it is green.
"Well, Your Highness Ai, late at night is your home court. It seems that you have something to consult. Please tell me."
A chuckle was heard.
A very happy one, the other person only said it when they heard Mao Lilan, and it had a proud charm.
Xiao Ai expressed helplessness at this kind of sister control that was rare in a thousand years.
"I'm in the Kudo Residence, but the situation is too chaotic. It's barely better than Dr. Agasa's house. But according to my understanding, Kudo Shinichi won't pay for the land, water and electricity at all. Why can the Kudo Residence keep running?"
Neon needs to pay land taxes and fees, and water and electricity bills cannot be delayed.
Xiao Ai knows Kudo Shinichi. Apart from cases, this famous detective only reads "Sherlock Holmes" every day. Let alone paying, I'm afraid he doesn't even know where to pay.
Seriously, Kudo Shinichi doesn't pay attention to the payment date at all.
"It's very simple. I'm paying for the maintenance costs of Kudo's house, land taxes, water and electricity bills."
On the other side of the phone, the boy's voice did not pause, nor was he proud, and he was describing a matter very normally.
"You are delivering, aren't you Mao Lilan?"
Haibara Ai remembered that after Kudo became Conan and the Kudo couple were abroad, whether it was cleaning the Kudo house or delivering the money, they all entrusted Mao Lilan to complete it.
In name, he asked Mao Lilan for help, but in fact, he took advantage of Mao Lilan's own kind character and could not refuse Kudo Shinichi's request.
"Well, as you know, my sister is responsible for taking care of Kudo Shinichi in all aspects. Just because now I can help Kudo Shinichi in other aspects, I entrusted this part of the things that need to be done by men to me."
Because of Kousei's arrival, this "please" was divided into two halves.
Ran Maori, who usually takes care of Kudo Shinichi as his girlfriend, and Kousei Mori, who is suitable for boys, help Kudo Shinichi solve his daily life problems.
Both of them were commissioned by Kudo Yukiko.
“Things that need to be done by men?”
This is something that can only be noticed if you live in it.
Xiao Ai has used all the facilities in this home. Although they are dirty and broken, they can all be used normally.
The owner of the house is an idiot, but the water and electricity in the house are working normally, the phone can be dialed, the TV payment has never stopped, and no staff will come to collect the land tax.
This shows that there is someone who completes these things for Kudo Shinichi.
Xiao Ai had some guesses in her mind, so she called this number to inquire, but Gongsheng's answer seemed to be more complicated than what Xiao Ai had guessed.
"For example, he often takes taxis without any money, but no taxi driver will ask him for money, only his signature."
On the other side of the phone, the boy's voice was a little tired, mixed with crackling sounds and frantic typing on the keyboard.
Xiao Ai frowned.
Through investigations from afternoon to evening, many of Kudo Shinichi's hundreds of cases were solved at night.
However, according to the price of a Tokyo taxi, Kudo Shinichi's living expenses cannot support such consumption many times when traveling to other areas far away from Kudo's residence, or even beyond the scope of Yoneka Town.
The Metropolitan Police Department will not specially arrange a car to pick up a detective to the scene. At most, it will pick up the other detective when returning.
"Are you saying that Kudo Shinichi thinks that his fame can exempt him from taxi fares through signatures, but in fact these taxi drivers can use these signatures to ask you for reimbursement?"
Just the part of the truth revealed now is enough to surprise Xiao Ai.
But Kousei's indifferent tone and Kudo Shinichi's extremely disgusted attitude towards Kousei are both unpredictable.
"Don't be surprised. This is only a small part. Your Highness, Xiao Ai, use your brain and you can guess again."
He did not explain to Xiao Ai that the care for Kudo Shinichi was not only due to Kudo Yukiko's entrustment, but also the high school student star-making plan of the Teidan Council. This plan was proposed and implemented by Kousei himself.
Indeed, the Emperor Dan Council looked down upon this kind of plan at all.
The biggest gain in creating a star student is traffic and students, but as the strongest university in Tokyo, Didan does not need this kind of momentum.
What Didan needs is reputation. For example, it can take advantage of a certain opportunity to publish a neon cabinet parliamentary approval of a legal document. With this reputation, Didan's law department can evolve into a law school and completely gain a foothold in the legal world and the legal world!
Kudo Shinichi's star-making plan for high school students is the starting point, and Mouri Kousei's canary plan is a plan that can only be implemented after the former is fermented. The final third stage...
Legislate! Build schools!
Xiao Ai didn't know the boy's plan, but the doubts about Gongsheng in her mind were getting worse little by little.
The extraordinary care given to Mao Lilan can be explained by family affection, while the extraordinary care given to Kudo Shinichi seems a bit illogical.
Gradually, all the strange things Haibara Ai found after checking the information about Kudo Shinichi played in his mind like a slideshow.
Kudo Shinichi will face demotion, and the student union will no longer protect Kudo Shinichi.
This is the latest news to appear on the Didan Academy website, and triggered a vote by the Didan High School, with nearly half of the students choosing to support this move.
Coupled with Kudo Shinichi's own conceited character, he likes to show off his connection to the Metropolitan Police Department in cases, and often skips classes and does not participate in group activities.
"Actually, Kudo Shinichi is not popular at Teidan High School. The reason why he was not punished is because of you. Am I right in my guess?"
This is the only possibility.
On the other side of the phone, Gongsheng, who was facing three computers handling legal work, suddenly stopped typing his fingers on the keyboard, and an enigmatic smile appeared on his lips.
"Kudo Shinichi believed that general cleaning and class affairs were a burden. He was a detective, and cases could make him successful, which led him to escape all campus tasks and class tasks in the first grade of high school. At the same time, during the first year of high school, Kudo Shinichi
In total, I have been absent from school more than 300 times."
It's like taking turns cleaning the classroom according to the regulations, but there is always one classmate who escapes on the grounds that "the Metropolitan Police Department needs a father" and refuses to participate in collective labor.
Class construction refused to participate, campus characters refused to complete.
"There are more than 20 phone calls a day requesting the punishment of Kudo Shinichi anonymously, and there are more than 100 letters a day requesting the punishment of Kudo Shinichi anonymously. The students have long been fed up with this relative."
Chapter completed!
