"In my opinion, it's because Fei Chi didn't speak much before, right? If you talk too much at once, your throat will certainly feel uncomfortable," Mouri Kogoro said with a black line on his face, "I should talk more in the future..."
Chi Feichi glanced at Mouri Kogoro and fell silent.
It doesn't matter if you complain about him, as long as you don't let him be a tour guide later, thank you.
"But Xiaolan, don't you plan to come to London?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked curiously, "Now that the award ceremony is over, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"When we were at the Polo Café, we met a cat that was left behind by its owner in the store. When its owner, Ms. Diana, came to look for her, she happened to see her father and he caught the cat, thinking it was a cat.
Dad helped me find the cat." Mao Lilan looked at Mao Li Kogoro and smiled awkwardly, "I heard that he was a detective, so he invited us to London to play and even booked the air tickets. Tomorrow happens to be the consecutive holidays in early July.
Conan and I don't have to go to school. We haven't come to see Mr. Shinosuke's award ceremony before, and we wanted to say sorry to him in person, so we came over..."
"Please, Ms. Diana invited us here because I am a famous detective in Japan. If it were anyone else, there would be no chance of this free trip!" Mouri Kogoro emphasized proudly and smiled at him again.
Chi Feichi said, "The other party originally wanted to cover our accommodation expenses when we came to London, but I told her that because my apprentice is in London, I thought of discussing the itinerary with you later, and the accommodation issue would not bother her."
Chi Feichi nodded to Maori Kogoro. He was an apprentice in London. If his teacher wanted to take advantage of other people's free accommodation, the Chi family would be laughed at. "I have already booked the hotel room for you. In addition, consider
You may not be able to eat well on the plane, so my parents asked me to invite you to the restaurant for dinner after I pick you up. They will have lunch prepared and I hope you enjoy it."
"No..." Mao Lilan said hurriedly, "It's us who have caused trouble for you. I'm really sorry."
Mouri Kogoro raised his hand and scratched his head, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Well, Fei Chi, how about you come with me to meet Ms. Diana tonight? She invited us to dinner at night, and she seemed to have invited many guests...
…”
Mao Lilan: "..."
It's okay to reciprocate with courtesy, but wouldn't using someone else's free invitation as a 'reciprocal gift' seem too calculating?
"I refuse." Chi Feichi said coldly.
"That Ms. Diana seems to be easy to talk to, and..." Mouri Kogoro was confused, "Huh? Reject, reject?"
Chi Feichi confirmed again, "I refuse the banquet."
"Brother Fei Chi has a bad throat, let him have a good rest," Mao Lilan saw the corners of Maori Kogoro's mouth twitching and suggested with a smile, "If you want to thank Brother Fei Chi for the reception, it's better to invite him again when he leaves, Shinnosuke
Sir and Mrs. Kana have a meal together, dad, what do you think?"
This time, Mouri Kogoro did not let go, but reminded, "As long as you and that brat buy less souvenirs and gifts, I think it should be fine..."
"By the way..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked around, "Where are Conan and the doctor? Didn't I say they will come together?"
"Ms. Diana gave us a first-class ticket, but when we arrived at the airport, Conan suddenly had a stomachache and was clamoring to go to the bathroom." Mouri Kogoro was speechless. "The doctor said he would take him to the bathroom, but he was delayed.
When it was time to get on the plane, they had to take another flight."
Haiyuan Ai yawned in surprise.
Edogawa didn't have a passport, so he definitely couldn't come with him, so he could only find an excuse to go to the bathroom and transform into Kudo Shinichi, and then sneak onto the plane with the doctor.
She guessed that the two people also booked tickets for the same flight in advance, but it was not first class, so they followed them secretly, and now, they were probably in the airport bathroom, waiting for Edogawa to turn back into a child and come out to join them.
.
"Their flight arrival time is half an hour later than ours," Mao Lilan took out her mobile phone and looked at the time, "We still need to wait for more than ten minutes..."
This wait lasts for half an hour.
Dr. A Li arrived late with Conan, and said with an apologetic smile, "I'm so sorry, it took us a while to find the exit..."
"It's good to be here," Haiyuan Ai looked at Dr. A Li, making sure that Dr. A Li was not fat or thin, then turned around and walked out, "Let's go have lunch first."
"Mr. Shinnosuke and Mrs. Kana have asked the restaurant to prepare dinner, and they are waiting for you to come over," Koshimizu Nanatsuki said with a smile to Dr. Agasa, "The room has also been reserved, which is the hotel where the restaurant is located. Wait for you to place it, salute, and eat
After lunch, let’s go shopping around London.”
Conan looked at Chi Feichi who was unusually silent, stepped forward and pulled the corner of Chi Feichi's clothes, and asked curiously, "Is Brother Chi a little angry because he waited for too long?"
He felt something was wrong.
Thinking about when he went to Osaka, Hattori was so happy that he wanted to take them to eat all over Osaka. He didn't expect Chi Feichi to be as enthusiastic as Hattori, but at least he could say something.
As a result...Chi Feichi didn't even say hello.
Koshikoshi Nanatsuki looked at Chi Feichi, and smiled helplessly as he talked about Chi Feichi's trip to London to use "throat lozenges to save his life", "It was because he had a discomfort in his throat..."
While they were talking, a group of people arrived outside the airport and got into a car with an Umbrella logo.
After listening to Koshizu Nanatsuki's explanation, Conan didn't know whether he should sympathize with Chi Feichi or gloat about his misfortune. Looking at Chi Feichi's cold face, he tried hard to hold back his laughter, "It's such a shame. I still want to go to Baker Street with Brother Chi."
Woolen cloth."
"Baker Street..." Chi Feichi recalled it, his expression still cold, "If you don't count passing by, I have been there five times."
Conan: "..."
(▔▔Ⅲ)
Miscalculation, he shouldn't have compared this with Chi Feichi.
What troubled him the most was that Chi Feichi's words "if you don't count passing by" reminded him of what Haiyuan said that the Field family had a house near Baker Street.
Isn’t that equivalent to being a neighbor to Sherlock Holmes? I’d be so envious that I’d eat lemons!
Seeing that Conan was embarrassed, Haibara frowned, "I have already been to London twice this time. Once my godmother and Miss Yukiko accompanied me, and once we accompanied Sonoko and Nanatsuki to the Sherlock Holmes Museum.
We watched it several times upstairs and downstairs, and we all got tired of it."
"Are you really going to get tired of it?" Conan asked with half-moon eyes, "Brother Chi has been there five times, which means that the Sherlock Holmes Museum is worth visiting, right?"
"After all, there don't seem to be many attractions in London." Chi Feichi said honestly.
Conan: "..."
That's enough. Please stop talking to Chi Feichi.
This attitude of "I have been in London many times and have lost the novelty" is a harm to someone like him who has long wanted to come to London's Baker Street and this is his first time.
Seeing that Conan was always being choked, Dr. A Li laughed twice and changed the subject to help Conan, "Xiao Ai, how do you feel? Are you getting used to living in London during this time?"
"Except for the rain on the second morning here, it was sunny the rest of the time. I'm very lucky. Brother Feichi and Mr. Shinosuke are a little busier. I have more leisure time. My godmother took me to many places. It's not like eating.
Chinese food is French food, and the occasional British dinner is also a big meal, and it tastes pretty good," Ai Haihara shared with Dr. Ali calmly, and asked, "What about you? You didn't eat secretly while I was away.
Some high-calorie food?"
"No, no," Dr. Ali smiled dryly. After being apart for a while, he almost forgot that Xiao Ai is sometimes the same as Fei Chi, who is the topic terminator. "Xiao Ai, it's rare that we all came to London.
Just talk about some happy topics..."
Everyone was familiar with each other, and they chatted casually about their current situation, the scenery along the way, and occasionally talked about the three children who stayed in Japan. The journey all the way to the hotel did not feel like a long journey.
Chi Feichi took Maori Kogoro and others to check in. After waiting for a group of people to place their greetings, he led the way to the hotel restaurant.
The hotel has the appearance of a European-style building, with long corridors covered with wallpaper and wooden wall panels, a luxuriously decorated banquet hall, and a simple and elegant modern-style restaurant. The old and new styles are perfectly blended.
Shinnosuke Ike and Kana Ike were waiting in the restaurant. After getting up and chatting with Kogoro Mori and others, they each took their seats and turned to talk to the waiter about the food.
It was half past two in the afternoon, the meal had passed, and there were not many customers in the restaurant. An eight or nine-year-old British boy looked around at the door, said a few words to the waiter in front of him, and quickly ran to a group of people.
In front of the dining table, holding a black gift box in his hand, he walked straight towards Haiyuan Ai.
"Just follow the order of serving as mentioned before..." Chikana noticed that the little boy walked up to Haihara Ai and cast a surprised and confused look.
Conan and others also cast curious glances.
What's happening here?
Chi Feichi sat next to Hui Yuan Ai, his eyes swept over the boy and stopped at the black gift box in the boy's hand.
It was a pure black cardboard box the size of a dictionary. Even the ribbon tied on it was black and tied into a big bow. It looked weird no matter how you looked at it.
The boy found that his arrival had made everyone quiet, and he was being watched by so many people. He timidly handed the gift box to Haibara Ai, and stammered in English, "Yes...an uncle asked me to give this
Here you go, I came out of the children's activity room and passed by outside the restaurant when I met an uncle wearing a hat. He asked me to bring this in. He said it was for a girl about the same age as me with short brown hair. Here.
You are the only girl who is about the same age as me, so..."
Conan also noticed something was wrong with the gift box and stared at the gift box in the boy's hand solemnly.
Before Haiyuan Ai could react, Chi Feichi reached out to the boy and replied in English, "Thank you, but we are going to have lunch and it is not convenient to open the gifts. I am her brother. You can give me the gift box."
I'll keep it for her for the time being."
The boy looked up at Chi Feichi's calm face, then looked at Hui Yuan Ai. Seeing that Hui Yuan Ai had no objection, he put the box in Chi Fei Chi's hand.
"This box is so strange," Mouri Kogoro said, stroking his chin and looking at the box. "It doesn't look like a gift for a little girl."
