The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 789: Auntie, it’s almost done!
Vermouth clenched her white fingers, then took out a box of cigarettes from her trouser pocket, skillfully took out a cigarette with one hand, then gently bit it with her white teeth, and took out a lighter to light it.

The smoke was everywhere, and the chill in her heart dissipated a little.

Touching Shirley's head was just to gain her trust.

There is absolutely nothing else in it.

Vermouth comforted herself in her heart, then changed her mind and looked at the lemonade on the passenger seat.

She is a wise old aunt, an old woman.

Before doing anything, think carefully...

After all, if he wanted to achieve his goal [to kill Shirley], he could just rush to the door and pull out a gun.

After killing someone, he set a fire.

The old lady is very skilled at this.

But this time, there is Shinichi and Fujino to consider.

It goes without saying that Shinichi is someone she takes special care of.

To her, Fujino's words were like a strategic nuclear weapon, a mountain pressing down on Shirley.

Mount Tai is as still as a bell, but when it moves, the sky will collapse and the earth will split.

There is only one way to deal with Mount Tai, and that is Fengshan.

After observation, she was sure that Shirley and Shinichi had not yet exchanged information with Fujino, and that neither side knew the other's true identity.

It is obvious that Fujino is at odds with the organization, but she is not interested in it. As for how much they have investigated... it seems that their identity as a member of her organization is still unknown.

If she really knew, then there was no reason for her to continue drinking lemon juice here. She would probably have been like Gin, being targeted and doubting her life.

This is operational.

Now that the other party has not broken off relations with me, it means that I have already accomplished half of my goal.

The mountain that was blocking him was equivalent to being moved away by half.

Thinking of this, the old lady began to look forward to it, and even felt a little excited.

Auntie, it’s almost done!
…………

In the evening, in a French restaurant.

The Fujino family was brought to this restaurant by Brother Maori.

But the Shimogasa sisters didn't come.

Of course Fujino wanted them to come together. After all, they were a big family living together...

But when they heard that it was Kogoro Mori who was treating them, they refused to come.

Both of them were born in an orphanage. They have somewhat weak personalities, but are also very honest and simple.

After getting a job with provided food and accommodation, they already feel very good. They don’t ask for too much and work diligently.

I can only say that I feel like I owe too much and that I have treated myself as an outsider.

Fujino understood their thoughts, so he naturally did not force them.

"I kept you waiting."

A young man dressed in waiter uniform placed a plate of beautifully presented scallops on the table: "Your olive oil baked scallops are ready, and the soup is the steamed cauliflower sauce."

“It looks delicious!”

Maori Kogoro raised his nose and took a sharp breath exaggeratedly: "It really is worthy of being a three-star French restaurant!"

Xiaolan picked up the knife and fork, picked up a scallop and took a bite, her face filled with the joy of a young girl: "Although it looks a bit strange, it's actually delicious."

“Baked scallops?”

Fujino looked at the green scallop in front of him and his eyes twitched.

Scallops are fishy in the first place... and then adding broccoli and stuff like that, he didn't understand but was shocked.

Moreover, the quantity of scallops was pitifully small. In his previous life, the orthodox way to eat them was to roast them and eat them with rice to satisfy his craving.

But this... can only be called dark cuisine. To be honest, he really doesn't understand what is so delicious about French food, and why it is so expensive.

On this table, there are salads, fried cod cakes, grilled shrimps and so on...

The two sisters sitting next to Fujino were obviously not very interested in French food.

Usually, the Fujino family has Chinese food for dinner. Now, under the influence of Fujino, their stomachs have become like Chinese food.

French food like this... I can only say that it is a bit difficult to adapt to the local environment.

However, they naturally would not show anything about being treated to banquets by others, and would just choose some fried foods.

"that……"

After the waiter placed the food on the table, he did not leave, but asked shyly: "Excuse me, you two, should be the sleeping Maori Kogoro and the dark detective Fujino?"

Maori Kogoro looked at him: "Yes, you know us?"

"Of course I know you!"

The waiter looked excited and was very surprised by the arrival of the two detectives.

Fujino and Maori Kogoro are still very popular and have many fans, and this waiter is one of them.

After a brief chat and asking for autographs from Fujino and Maori Kogoro, the waiter left in a hurry:

"You two, I won't stay with you any longer."

The waiter turned around, checked the time and said with a smile: "The restaurant manager will scold me later. Summer vacation will be here soon. I can go back to my hometown to see my mother after I save enough living expenses. It will be troublesome if I get fired now!"

"go quickly!"

Maori Kogoro was in a good mood when he met his fans. He smiled and waved his hands. He cherished his detective fans very much and teased Fujino: "Brother, our reputation is so loud now that we can meet detective fans just by going out for a meal!"

"That's natural."

Fujino nodded silently: "Although it is not reflected in normal times, after all, the two of us are now famous detectives no matter what."

"Yes!"

Maori Kogoro nodded: "Never mind, let's eat. The food in this restaurant is very delicious."

“Speaking of which, the French food in this restaurant is really good…”

Huihara Ai picked up a cod cake with a fork, took a bite, and glanced down: "It's just a little too expensive. It would be much cheaper if I made it myself."

"It's a three-star restaurant after all, so eat as much as you want. It's my treat today!"

Maori Kogoro patted his chest, looking like an adult, and then shouted to the waiter who was not far away: "Mr. Waiter, give me a bottle of red wine suitable for these dishes, the most expensive one!"

"Ok!"

Xiaolan asked him worriedly, "Dad, money and other things, is it okay?"

After all, she remembered that there was not much left to spend on living expenses this month.

"completely fine!"

Kogoro Mori explained while chewing a scallop.

He probably took on a commission where a lady said someone was trying to harm her husband and she could get 10 million yen if she could stop the person. He has already received a deposit of 500,000 yen.

By the way, he also took out the contract and showed it to Xiaolan and Fujino, and said proudly with a show-off look: "For a battle-hardened person like me, Maori Kogoro, I can solve it with just a little nap!"

"..."

Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri speechlessly.

So I solved all these cases, okay?

"What a bumpkin! He's as excited as a pug just because he got 500,000 yuan... It's true that poor people always get along well with each other."

An unfriendly voice suddenly came from behind.

But the people eating in front of him didn't react to this.

When Fujino heard the voice, he glanced towards the source of the voice and saw a man and a woman sitting in the seats behind him.
