Half an hour later, even Mao Lilan began to wonder if Suzuki Sonoko and Kyogoku were really lost in the forest.
The group of people were just considering whether to go look for it, and the two of them just finished talking.
It was originally planned to go back to Tokyo today, but since Kyogoku really had no intention of going to Tokyo, a group of people stayed an extra day, giving the two of them some time to date.
The next day, Chi Feichi drove a group of people back, and when he finally sent Conan and Mao Lilan back to the detective office, it happened to be evening, and Mao Lilan stayed for dinner.
"Eating here?" Maori Kogoro sat behind the desk with his legs on the desk, pretending to read the newspaper seriously, but in fact he secretly glanced at Maori Lan, "The young master of a large group must be very picky about food, you guys call
When I come back, I will go to the supermarket to buy ingredients, Xiaolan, you must make a delicious and hearty dinner!"
"Huh?" Mao Lilan was surprised how her father could suddenly be so reliable. However, looking at Maori Kogoro's impolite attitude and the greedy look that Maori Kogoro was trying so hard to hide, her eyes suddenly turned half-mooned, "I think it's you, dad."
Want to have a big meal..."
Mouri Kogoro coughed dryly, put down his legs on the table, and sat up straight, "How can you say that? Although I have been eating bento at home alone in the past two days, I kind of want to change my taste, but I also
It’s not for my own sake that I asked you to cook a big meal, it’s for the sake of our lives.”
"For life?" Mao Lilan wondered.
"Think about it, that kid Chi Feichi has money in his family. If he entrusts me with anything, the entrustment fee will definitely be indispensable. If he is given two detectives to choose from, he will definitely find an acquaintance..." Mouri Kogoro has already imagined
A large sum of commission fees flew towards him, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Mao Lilan was speechless, this logic...
"But uncle, you didn't show much closeness to Brother Chi before, right?" Conan suspected that Mouri Kogoro still wanted to have a good meal by himself.
"What do you know, you little devil?" Maori Kogoro would never admit that he had just thought of this. Every time he saw Chi Feichi's cold face, he felt that the temperature around him was dropping again and again, and he wanted to be enthusiastic.
He is not enthusiastic either. The key is that he also has a pet snake. He is afraid of snakes. "As a famous detective, I must not be too cheap. I must maintain a serious attitude and let him know that I am very reliable!"
"Yes, is that so?" Mao Lilan blinked.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that every time he sees Chi Feichi, Mouri Kogoro is still very serious.
Even when I went to Morizono's house last time, I always looked serious when communicating with Morizon Mikio...
Although she felt that this idea was a bit calculated against her friends, if something happened to Chi Feichi, it would be better to entrust her father to her than to anyone else. Acquaintances would always take more care of her.
And it's rare to have someone who can make her father pay attention to her image, which is also a good thing.
However, we are all friends. If Chi Feichi had entrusted her with a commission, she would also keep an eye on her father and not collect money indiscriminately...
"Originally, I planned to convince him with my strength and told him to come to me if he had any entrustments in the future. However, the few times I met him, I didn't seem to have a chance to appear," Mouri Kogoro thought while stroking his chin, "Last time I was there
The Morizon family finally had a chance to solve the case, but that kid from Osaka solved the case first. So this kind of high school student detective is the most annoying. Before stealing the limelight, we should consider the detectives like us who need to support our families.
…”
Conan thought in his mind, of course. With that guy Chi Feichi here, how could the sleeping Kogoro still have a chance to appear?
With Chi Feichi's ability, there is no need to entrust the detective to do anything. The uncle simply thinks too beautifully...
"But then again, didn't he come with you?" Mouri Kogoro didn't forget to tidy up his clothes, "That's fine, you just need to cooperate with me later and let him understand that I am a reliable detective."
"It's Brother Chi..." Mao Lilan turned to look at the door.
"Because I feel like I can't visit empty-handed," Chi Feichi walked in and put a bag on the table, "so I went to buy something."
Maori Kogoro looked at Chi Feichi's calm expression and eyes throughout the whole process, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Sure enough, the temperature dropped...
"Brother Fei Chi, you are too polite." Mao Lilan said hurriedly.
"Fruits and wine," Mouri Kogoro wanted to go over and take a look when he saw the wine. However, he was worried that he would feel colder in the past, so he could only suppress his excitement and took a look from a distance, "It's still valuable.
Good wine!"
Mao Lilan felt happy when she saw that Mao Li Kogoro kept his appearance while drinking, and said with a smile, "You guys talk first, I'm going to cook!"
Chi Feichi nodded, feeling that Mouri Kogoro was weird.
Although the bottle of wine he bought is not a famous wine that is about to become extinct, it is also a rare famous wine. Why did Kogoro Mouri react so indifferently?
Thinking about it carefully, Mouri Kogoro seems to have always had a cold attitude towards him. This was evident last time at Morizono's house. They were obviously acquaintances, but Mouri Kogoro would rather keep chatting with Morizon Mikio than talk to him.
He meant to chat for a few words.
Have a problem with him?
Or is it that everyone is wrong, and that Moori Kogoro is not as unreliable as he appears on the surface? Do you think he is a dangerous person and are wary of him in your heart?
Mouri Kogoro raised his eyes and met Chi Feichi's so calm gaze that it was hard to see through. He also saw Feichi slipping out of Chi Feichi's sleeves and lying on the table playing. He stiffened unconsciously and kept his expression serious.
, sit upright: "..."
How on earth did his daughter become friends with such a person?
Incredible!
Chi Feichi: "..."
What exactly is the problem?
Conan: "..."
Uncle is pretending a little too much.
It seems like he's gone cold... No, he can be more confident and remove the word "as if".
In the kitchen, the sound of kitchen utensils can be heard from time to time.
There was silence outside. The three of them sat quietly, their minds active, but no one spoke, just like three stone sculptures.
Mao Lilan finished cooking the dishes and turned around to go out. She saw the three people were silent and solemn looking, "The dishes are ready... uh, what's wrong?"
"It's okay..." Mouri Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief. If he continued to be so depressed, he felt like he was about to be crushed to death by the increasingly dull atmosphere. He coughed seriously, "Ahem... let's eat."
Chi Feichi nodded. He had observed that for forty-seven minutes, Mouri Kogoro watched his nose and heart without even moving. This concentration was a bit astonishing...
Mouri Kogoro, who was forced to have amazing concentration, arrived at the dinner table and opened the wine brought by Chi Feichi directly. He decided to drink a good glass of wine to calm down his shock. Halfway through, he felt a slightly cool sight and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
, looked up at Chi Feichi, "Does Mr. Chi drink? Do you want to have a drink together?"
Chi Feichi nodded, "Okay."
Ten minutes after dinner starts...
"Ah ha ha ha! It's really good wine!" Maori Kogoro laughed and drank two glasses of wine. He even ignored the low pressure around Chi Fei Chi. While drinking, he boasted to Chi Fei Chi about the cases he had solved.
"Let me tell you, that time..."
Chi Feichi lowered his head to drink and listened to Maori Kogoro telling the same case twice. When Maori Kogoro stopped drinking again, he asked directly, "Mr. Maori, do you have any objections to me?"
Mao Lilan sweated and looked at her father. Did she pretend to be too much just now and was she misunderstood...
