Conan's city hunter

Chapter 28 Gymnasium

"Wow! So cute!"

When Mao Lilan saw the snowball like a plush toy, Dang even let out an exclamation.

There is one thing to say, Xueqiu's external image is indeed very lovable, and it belongs to the kind of cute pet that is very popular among female groups.

"Senior Takasugi, can I hug it?" Mao Lilan asked, staring at Xueqiu intently.

"No problem at all."

Naturally, Takasugi would not refuse her request, and immediately grabbed the snowball from his clothes and handed it to the expecting Mao Lilan.

"What a cute puppy!"

After receiving the fluffy snowball, Mao Lilan's face was full of joy.

"By the way, Maori-san, who is this?"

After a while, Gao Shan saw that no one else appeared, so he asked curiously.

"Oh, I came to this store to buy some pet toys, because I'm going to visit my mother." Mao Lilan said.

Takasugi: "..."

Girl, do you think your mother just came to buy pet toys?
Takasugi felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

Maybe because she noticed the problem in her words, Mao Lilan added again after finishing speaking: "Because my mother has a cute kitten, I always bring some pet toys every time I go."

"That's it."

Takasugi nodded knowingly, he had some impression of this, remembering that it seemed to be a blue cat.

At the same time, he also saw the packaging bag in Mao Lilan's hand, thinking that those should be gifts for her mother.

With the help of Mao Lilan, a regular customer, in the following time, Gaoshan successfully helped Xueqiu purchase a complete set of pet supplies at a price far below the market.

When the two parties parted, Mao Lilan returned the snowball to Gaoshan with some reluctance. He stopped talking for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking:
"Senior Takasugi, can I go to see Snowball in the future?"

"Of course, you are welcome to come to my house to play at any time." Gao Shan naturally would not refuse this.

In fact, he was also a little confused, how did this person and beast establish a friendship in such a short period of time.

But no matter how you look at it, it's a good thing for him.

After bidding farewell to Mao Lilan, Takasugi randomly found a place to order a high-quality knife holder, and then returned home with his harvest.

……

Time flies, and it's Friday in the blink of an eye.

After Gao Shan finished his routine exercise in the morning, he took Xueqiu and left the house.

It has been two days since he met Mao Lilan last time. During these two days, Gao Shan only did one thing besides staying at home to familiarize himself with his new power.

That is to join the school's kendo club, and persuade the school leadership with his own strength, and won the qualification for the next Kanto kendo competition, as well as the practice holiday before the arrival of the kendo competition.

The entrance to the gym.

"Dragon too!"

Takasugi had just stopped his little pedal when he heard Kogoro Mori's voice.

"Uncle Maori."

Takasugi also waved his hand and greeted the other party.

In fact, he is still a little unreal until now, and he doesn't understand how this guy Moori Kogoro has become so enthusiastic.

He clearly remembered that when they met last time, their relationship was only in the category of acquaintances.

But now is not the time to explore this, Takasugi suppressed the doubts in his heart, and walked to Mori Kogoro.

"Uncle Maori, where are the others?"

When he got closer, Takasugi found out that Kogoro Mori was the only one here, so he couldn't help asking curiously.

"They've all gone in, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a place, so I'll wait for you here."

"That's really troublesome Uncle Mori." The smile on Takasugi's face did not diminish, but he was secretly observing from the corner of his eye.

Something is wrong!
Something is wrong with Mori Kogoro!
He is not a beautiful girl, at most he will treat him to a drink, is it worth treating him like this?
It's a pity that Takasugi's doubts can only be hidden in his heart, and there is no way to get an answer in a short time.

After entering the gymnasium, Takasugi also saw other people. Except for Mao Lilan who had already gone to the locker room to prepare for the game, in fact, there were not many relatives and friends who came, only Mao Lilan's mother Fei Yingli and friend Suzuki Sonoko .

When Takasugi was introduced by Mori Kogoro, he pretended not to care and looked at the two girls.

Needless to say, Fei Yingli, the mature and plump young woman spokesperson, does not look like a daughter of Mao Lilan's age at all, and she looks like she is in her early 30s from the outside.

And Suzuki Sonoko is a thoroughly lively girl, full of youthful vigor, but she is still in a sealed state, so she can only be regarded as pretty at the moment.

Because Takasugi was not very familiar with the others, everyone simply greeted each other and turned their attention to the arena in front of them.

At this point the game has already started, but it's not yet Mao Lilan's turn to play.

"Hey, why didn't you see Kudo-san last time?"

Looking around, Takasugi, who didn't find Kudo Shinichi, asked deliberately.

He hadn't forgotten the last time that guy tried his best to check his affairs, how long would it be if he didn't make trouble for him now!

"Hmph!" Hearing Takasugi mentioning Kudo Shinichi, Maori Xiaowu snorted coldly: "Don't mention that stinky brat, it would be better if he didn't come!"

The words were full of displeasure towards Kudo Shinichi.

Even Fei Yingli, who seemed expressionless next to her, couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard Takasugi mention Kudo Shinichi.

Although this is just a competition, it is also very important to Xiaolan. Even a person who can be absent at such a moment really makes her, a mother, dislike her.

However, considering that Kudo Shinichi is the son of his friend, Fei Yingli didn't say anything after all.

On the other hand, Suzuki Sonoko secretly looked at Takasugi, and after hearing his words, he couldn't help curling his lips: "That fellow Kudo must be busy with some other case."

It's okay not to talk about the case, but when Suzuki Sonoko talked about the case, Mori Kogoro's expression became more and more ugly.

Ever since Kudo Shinichi appeared, his life has been getting worse and worse.

If that guy is also an ordinary detective, then Kogoro Mori would not say much, after all, everyone is considered a fair competition.

But that little ghost just regarded solving cases as a hobby, and didn't charge any fees at all, which led to profitable commissions, and the parties ran to find that little ghost.

This is clearly breaking the rules of the industry!

As far as Mori Kogoro knew, if the Metropolitan Police Department hadn't suppressed some people secretly, someone would have gone to trouble that brat long ago.

The detective industry is not as glamorous as it looks.

"It seems that classmate Maori has come out, let's watch the game."

Gao Shan saw that the fire was almost ready, so he hurriedly used Mao Lilan as an introduction to extinguish the fire he had ignited.

What he wanted has been achieved, there is no need to continue, that would be too obvious.
