Jiang Xia was wandering around on his motorcycle, trying to come across some cases or encounter some colleagues who also appeared late at night.
Halfway through the walk, he suddenly felt the phone vibrating next to him.
Judging from the duration of the shock, the senders should be those with major cases.
Jiang Xia was startled, stopped the car immediately, took out his mobile phone and checked: "..." Could it be that an acquaintance who stayed up late at night encountered a case and wanted to help him?
However, when I turned on the screen, the email contained just a boring and ordinary message from Kudo, who had shrunk in size:
[I heard that you went to school today. Did anything unusual happen at school? For example, Xiaolan met some interesting male classmates or teachers.]
Jiang Xia: "..."
He nonchalantly deleted the message with zero criminal content, threw the phone back into his pocket, pretended to be asleep and unable to reply, and continued to focus on driving his car.
…
On the second day, Conan came to meet them with a pair of big dark circles under his eyes.
By the time they arrived at Izu Beach, Conan hadn't fully woken up yet.
As the sea breeze blew by, Conan yawned, raised his head and glanced at Jiang Xia, and found that Jiang Xia had no dark circles under her eyes, but looked refreshed.
So Conan had to guess that this little detective friend who liked to travel went to bed early and didn't see his email.
When Jiang Xia saw Conan's face clearly, he looked surprised and joked in a low voice: "You are not really a primary school student, but you are so excited that you can't sleep all night because you are going on a trip?"
Conan: "..."
He sighed and didn't want to say more.
Jiang Xia then went to see other people.
What was different from Suzuki Sonoko's plan was that Mouri Kogoro actually came with her - probably because his daughter used bait like "there are many bikini beauties on the beach" to catch her.
Mao Lilan saw that both Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko were looking at her father. She knew that high school students sometimes did not like their parents to accompany them when traveling, so she quickly explained: "My father is just here to see the beach. We should go to Odajima by ourselves."
Jiang Xia nodded, not minding this at all: "Actually, if uncle wants to go to the island, I think I can take him to play with me."
Jiang Xia had no objections, so Suzuki Sonoko had no objections either. Anyway, Mouri Kogoro didn't have the majesty of a parent. In her eyes, he was just an old man who said nothing: "Then let's go together?"
However, Mouri Kogoro waved his hand without interest: "Forget it, there are only a bunch of brats over there, I still prefer the scenery of the beach - look!"
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his hand to point under the parasol next to him: "You don't understand adult entertainment. For example, there are no such beautiful beauties on your island!"
Jiang Xia turned around and looked over, and saw a beautiful woman in a swimsuit standing next door. The woman had her back to this side, wearing a backless swimsuit, wiping her dripping hair while lowering her head to pick up the sunscreen on the table.
Suddenly hearing Kogoro Mouri shouting like this, the woman frowned and turned back, revealing a familiar face under the towel.
——Fei Yingli.
That is, Mao Lilan's mother and Maori Kogoro's currently separated wife.
When Fei Yingli turned around and saw Mouri Kogoro, she was obviously startled, as if she had seen a ghost: "Why are you here?"
Maori Kogoro:"……"
Suzuki Sonoko: "..." The uncle's vision is really consistent.
Conan: "..." It turns out that Xiaolan was having an appointment with Aunt Yingli last night... I didn't sleep well all night just because of this.
Mao Lilan had already rushed between the two of them, with a look of surprise on her face: "Wow~ It's such a coincidence! You are so destined to meet so many people on the beach!"
Jiang Xia glanced at her hard work and raised her hands to applaud: "Indeed."
Mouri Kogoro looked at his daughter: "Oh, you secretly arranged it again!"
Fei Yingli also looked at her: "I should have thought of it..."
Mao Lilan could only blink her eyes and try her best to pretend to be stupid: "Huh?"
…
Even if they are not considered husband and wife for the time being, they are still acquaintances after all. Now that they have met, of course they have to sit down and have tea and something to eat together.
Several people arrived at the seaside cafe.
Sitting at the square table, Mao Lilan looked at Maori Kogoro on the left, then at Fei Yingli on the right, and finally couldn't help but ask Jiang Xia in a low voice: "Am I really exposed?"
Jiang Xia glanced at her and said politely: "Maybe, maybe not yet."
"..." Mao Lilan fiddled with the napkin and decided to calm down the atmosphere first. She smiled and looked at her parents, "It's a rare encounter. Why don't we worry about other things and enjoy the beach together!"
Mouri Kogoro sneered: "Up to now, I was really concentrating on enjoying the beach, but unfortunately I was interrupted by an aunt who was very old and wore a beautiful swimsuit."
Fei Yingli also laughed: "I don't know who was talking to that aunt in a beautiful swimsuit just now. It's so embarrassing that no one can see it."
"...Hmph!" Mouri Kogoro couldn't find a rebuttal, so he stood up and left angrily.
Mao Lilan grabbed Jiang Xia with one hand and Suzuki Yuanzi with the other, silently shouting: What to do!!
Jiang Xia's arm hurt from being pinched by her, so she had to help her find a way.
After thinking for a moment, he whispered to Mao Lilan in a low voice that Fei Yingli could not hear: "Didn't the 'New Doctor' say that he would come over later? It's better to leave matters between adults to the adults to figure out a solution."
——As expected, when Suzuki Sonoko took Mao Lilan to invite her to the island, Belmod, who was wearing the disguise of a "new doctor", heard the news, and although his expression became very complicated for a moment, in the end he
Still agreed.
She just agreed to agree. She seemed to want to avoid too much contact with some people, and she also wanted to try her best to hide her abnormal attitude towards Mao Lilan and Conan, so she had no plans to have fun at the beach with the students. She only said that she would
They came to meet up before going to the island.
When Mao Lilan heard Jiang Xia's suggestion, she was startled at first, and then thought it was wonderful: Yes, my father and mother should still have feelings for each other, but one is more face-conscious than the other, and they are more harsh-tongued.
Ken takes the lead in repairing the relationship. At this time, it is necessary to introduce a third party - the new doctor is so handsome, maybe my father will immediately feel a sense of crisis when he sees him appear, and then he can be the first to express his attitude or something.
Thinking of the wonderful scene of the two shaking hands and making peace, Mao Lilan's eyes lit up, and she quietly gave Jiang Xia a thumbs up under the table.
But then, she suddenly noticed something.
Mao Lilan's eyes fell on Fei Yingli's hand, and she was suddenly startled: "Mom, why don't you wear a wedding ring? Don't you always wear it?"
