The victory of Karasawa and Conan naturally represents someone's defeat. The victory of Karasawa and Conan naturally represents someone's defeat.
Seeing this result, Mouri Kogoro scratched his hair in annoyance, "Damn it! I lost again!"
"Come on, Xiaolan, this is Conan's share, please keep it."
After Tang Ze and Conan finished celebrating, he took out his wallet and handed over a stack of banknotes, "For the exchange, I'll just exchange it with the horse racing tickets. You can keep it first so that I don't have to make a trip."
"Ah? How is this possible?" Xiaolan looked at the thick stack of banknotes handed over and waved her hands, "Conan is just a child, and the money for the horse racing tickets was paid by his seniors."
"This time it was Conan who suggested that I buy Thunder Boy, and he also contributed part of the New Year's money, so just accept it."
Tangze put the money into Xiaolan's hand and whispered: "You should keep it for Conan first. If Uncle Maori spends all the money on horse racing or drinking or something, you two will abandon him and go out to have a big dinner."
If nothing happens, just use it as pocket money for the two of you, Conan, and take Conan out to play more and eat some of your favorite cakes."
This is not a polite statement. In fact, part of the money Tang Ze spent on buying horse racing tickets was really Conan's money.
After all, he knew that Kogoro Mouri was a spendthrift and a thief, and after Karasawa side-attacked him at the horse race, Conan also enlightened and knew how to feel sorry for his girlfriend.
So he took out the small amount of money his parents gave him for emergencies and asked Tang Ze to help him buy horse racing tickets. If he made a profit, he asked Tang Ze to help deliver it to Xiaolan.
He, the washing machine! His strength spoils his wife!
"Moxi Moshi? Morisan?"
"I'm not saying I don't have time now..."
Mouri Kogoro, who was unhappy because of his failure, was about to hang up the phone impatiently when suddenly a murderous look came over him.
He raised his head in response to the stress and saw Xiaolan staring at him with a full "anger meter", holding a feather duster in his hand, looking ready to come up and give him a set of ultimate moves at any time.
Conan on the side turned off the TV with a look, and stood with Karasawa watching the battle.
When the timid Mouri Kogoro saw the angry Xiaolan, he immediately changed his mind on the phone and said: "Ah, if we just talk, we can still take some time..."
"Can you please have a good attitude? This is work!" Xiaolan looked at her father who was taking over the work, then calmed down and said angrily with her hands on her hips.
"I know...I must keep my attitude correct..." Mouri Kogoro said sincerely as he hung up the phone and looked at his daughter.
"What kind of person is the client?" Conan asked curiously.
"Obasan is a first-level person... She said she is nearby and should be here soon." Mouri Kogoro said feebly: "Anyway, I don't believe how good-looking he can be..."
"Ah~ Please help me find my first love~" Mouri Kogoro pretended to be a vomiting character, and then he held his chin and complained: "I have seen this kind of people a lot..."
While Mouri Kogoro was performing, there was a knock on the door. When Moori Kogoro finished speaking the last word of his conclusion, the people outside the door also heard Xiaolan's invitation and walked in.
"Excuse me, my surname is Chibo Jinghua, I was the one who called before."
It was completely different from what Mouri Kogoro had guessed. The person who came to the door was a beautiful woman with full temperament.
She wore a kimono with short hair but nothing out of place, and she looked very elegant.
Chibo Jinghua held her handbag in both hands, bowed slightly to everyone and said: "I'm sorry for the sudden disturbance, but my friend strongly recommended that I ask Mr. Maori for help, saying that I can definitely find the person I am looking for...
"Come in first, let's sit down and talk slowly." Xiaolan warmly welcomed the client into the room.
But Mouri Kogoro, who saw his client entering the house, was instantly slapped in the face and disappeared.
Being slapped in the face at the speed of light and disappearing is naturally not because of such a trivial matter as losing face.
On the contrary, the moment he saw his client entering the door, Mouri Kogoro returned to his room at lightning speed.
"Huh? Where is dad?" Xiaolan turned around to look for her father, but saw no sign of him.
Just as Chibo Jinghua was sitting on the sofa, the door in the room suddenly opened.
I saw Mouri Kogoro, who was slovenly just now, now wearing a suit, pretending to be a gentleman, coming to the other party, holding the other party's hand and saying: "I'm really sorry that I made such a beautiful lady like you wait for such a long time.
I have been looking at information on difficult and difficult cases."
At this moment, Mouri Kogoro doesn't have the same sloppy look as when he was racing horses. He is dressed in a suit and looks like a dog. Coupled with his pretending to be deep and serious, he looks very much like that.
"Oh...oh...it's okay..." Chiba Jinghua looked at the attentive Mouri Kogoro, and for a moment he didn't know how to resist.
"Come on, take a seat on the sofa, and please calm down your heartbeat before talking about the commission."
Mouri Kogoro pushed Chiba Shizuka's shoulders, and he didn't maintain his dog-like posture for long. He turned around and couldn't hold back his smile, "Xiaolan! Bring some drinks."
"I know..." Xiaolan saw her father being so attentive and replied with a slumped face in displeasure.
"It's starting again..." Conan and Tang Ze looked at each other, speechless and holding their foreheads.
When I see a beautiful woman, she looks like a wretched uncle. I really can’t get enough of it.
However, with the client present, the two of them did not try to undermine Kogoro Mouri. Karasawa also waited for the other party to explain the situation, hoping to see if the case would be triggered.
Although it is unfortunate to say this, it means that someone has died again, but...
This is the daily life of the Maori family!!
After the client's explanation, everyone finally understood the whole story.
"So, the person you are looking for is a classmate of yours in junior high school?" Getting to the point, Mouri Kogoro also looked like he was working. "Yes, we both belonged to the kendo club at that time." Ikeha Shizuka nodded.
road.
"If that's the case, the other party's address should be recorded in the graduation album, right?" Mouri Kogoro frowned and asked, "Is the address invalid?"
"Well, that's true." Chibo Jinghua coughed twice and said with some distress: "He happened to be moving before graduation, so he didn't leave an address at all."
As he spoke, Chibo Jinghua rummaged through his bag and took out a photo, "This is a photo from back then. What I'm looking for is the one in the middle holding the championship trophy."
Chiba Jinghua pointed to the boy in the middle of the photo and said: "His name is Shibata Shiro."
"Is the girl with the ponytail standing to his left..." Mouri Kogoro pointed to a girl on the side, not sure.
"Hi, that's me. I'm a little embarrassed to say it, but it's been thirty years..."
"Thirty years have passed!? Are you in your forties now?" After a brief shock, Mouri Kogoro felt a burst of ecstasy.
