Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 298: Parting is for a better encounter next time! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Maori Detective Agency.

As soon as he entered the door, Conan saw a frustrated middle-aged man who was full of confusion and helplessness.

Surprisingly, it is the owner of this detective agency - Mouri Kogoro.

Seeing this, Conan couldn't help his curiosity and approached.

"Uncle Maoli, what's wrong with you?"

In my impression, a certain confused detective spent most of his time slumped on the sofa drunk. It was really rare to look as dejected and frustrated as he did today.

Could it be that the other party ran out of wine and that's why he was so sad?

But that’s not right either!

The other party just got a generous commission fee from President Gu last night and made a fortune. It only lasted half a day. Even if it was used for gambling, it shouldn't be spent all. Even the money to buy wine There is no money left!
So, it was his childhood sweetheart who strictly prohibited the other party from drinking?
Thinking of the character of his childhood sweetheart, Conan felt that the possibility of such a thing was not impossible, but extremely high.

After all, although his childhood sweetheart has a gentle, easy-going and considerate personality, no matter how gentle and virtuous a woman is, when she sees Mouri Kogoro, who drinks all day long, he often appears with used wine bottles, cigarette butts, and newspaper handles. If the table is covered, in addition to smoking, gambling (mostly horse racing), playing mahjong, looking at beautiful women, it can be said that eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, the confused detective who has done everything will probably not be able to help but get angry. Very angry.

In particular, Mouri Lan, his daughter, takes care of Kogoro Mouri's daily life.

No child wants his father to be such a person.

Mao Lilan is naturally no exception.

But, is this guy Mouri Kogoro really so obedient?
In this regard, Conan, who appears to be a child of only six or seven years old, but is actually a high school detective on the inside, is very suspicious.

Moreover, he didn't think that Mao Lilan, as a daughter, could really control his father!
"It's you Conan!"

Hearing the voice, Mouri Kogoro raised his eyes and glanced at Conan, and then continued to sigh, "Hey, Xiaolan, she wants to find her mother!"

"Sister Xiaolan wants to find her mother, so there shouldn't be any problem, right? Uncle Maori, why are you sighing?"

As soon as these words came out, Conan suddenly didn't understand.

Just go, it's not like his childhood sweetheart has never been to the place where Fei Yingli lives.

Moreover, although Fei Yingli and the private detective Mouri Kogoro separated, the two did not divorce.

As a daughter, Mao Lilan should visit her mother.

What's more, even if she gets divorced and Mao Lilan goes to visit her mother, no one can say anything.

After all, the most basic thing in life is to honor your parents.

As a daughter, Mao Lilan cares so much about her mother and is filial to her mother. A certain confused detective should be happy. As for looking so sad and lost?
Or maybe the other party feels that Fei Yingli has taken away his daughter's love for him, so he is jealous?

Mouri Kogoro shook his head and sighed, "If Xiaolan just goes to find her mother, I naturally won't say anything more, but the key to the problem is that she wants to move over and live with that woman!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Conan's expression changed and he couldn't help shouting, "Sister Xiaolan is moving to my aunt. Why didn't she tell me about this?"

Mouri Kogoro glanced at Conan who looked shocked, his eyes were dull, and he looked at the ceiling silently.

Why should he tell a little brat like you about his precious daughter?
Moreover, you know, even he, as a father, only learned about this recently.

And the kid in front of him only met his daughter yesterday.

Why would his daughter tell a guy she had just met for less than a day and was just a little kid? Why should his daughter tell him her whereabouts?

What kind of onion is the other party!
Thinking of this, Mouri Kogoro took a deep breath, "It's normal that you don't know, because Xiaolan only told me this morning that she was going to live with her mother!"

Generally speaking, he would not tell others about his family affairs.

But who knows, a certain kid, even though he is young, is still the lucky star that brings him good luck to Mouri Kogoro.

This time, maybe the other party can bring him good luck again like before, or maybe he can change his precious daughter's mind!
Well, he doesn't ask his daughter to give up the idea of ​​living with his wife, he just wants her to shorten her stay and come back soon!
After all, without the other party's care, he was afraid that he would really starve to death!
Conan was speechless, "Oh!"

He said, he was fine when we saw him yesterday, but why, after not seeing him for one night, a certain confused detective's face became as ugly as his dead parents.

It turned out that it was this morning that he learned the news that his childhood sweetheart was leaving.

"But, it's all right, sister Xiaolan, why do you suddenly want to move to your aunt's place? Could it be that something happened to your aunt?"

Or maybe some stupid detective did something stupid!

Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine that the girl who had been working hard to take care of her father like a nanny for several years would "abandon" a confused detective and go live with her mother!
After all, he knew very well how useless and lazy his childhood sweetheart's father really was.

His childhood sweetheart lives with Mouri Kogoro, the father. Rather than Maori Kogoro taking care of his daughter, it is better to say that Maori Lan, the daughter, takes care of Mouri Kogoro, the father's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

It can even be said that without the care of Mao Lilan as a daughter, I am afraid that the other party would have starved to death!

Mouri Kogoro smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

Could he say that it was because he received a big commission from his wife, and after receiving the commission fee, he turned around and went to the nightclub to spend the night with his lover, and even spent the night there, so he His wife is angry and sick, and Xiaolan is worried about her mother, so does she plan to move in to take care of her?
That must not be the case!

You know, even he wants to save face!

Noticing his appearance, Conan didn't know that he was right.

His childhood sweetheart's father had indeed done something stupid, and it was quite excessive. Otherwise, Mao Lilan, a warm-hearted little cotton-padded jacket, wouldn't have made Mao Lilan think about "abandoning" him.

For a moment, Conan was speechless and confused.

Speechless, he originally thought that Mouri Kogoro was already unreliable and a bastard enough, but he didn't expect that the other party's level of unreliability and bastard could actually increase. He was confused about what the other party had done. He could actually provoke the always good-tempered Mao Lilan to move out of the Maori Detective Agency. But if you think about it carefully, with the character of a confused detective, it is not surprising that he would do any number of stupid and unreliable things.

In other words, based on the actions of a certain confused detective, it is simply a miracle that Fei Yingli can persist until now and is only separated from the other party instead of divorced.

It's a pity that miracles have an expiration date after all, and now, it may be time for the miracle to expire.

Thinking like this, Conan took a deep look at Mouri Kogoro who was smiling awkwardly, shook his head gently, and then walked towards the bedroom.

There, his childhood sweetheart Mao Lilan was packing her things.

……

"Sister Xiaolan, what are you doing?"

Hearing Conan's voice, Mao Lilan, who was packing her things, was startled, and a hint of complexity flashed deep in her eyes.

"Conan, Sister Xiaolan is leaving the office for a while. From now on, you and your father will live here in the office."

As soon as these words came out, Conan suddenly showed a pitiful look, with a look of reluctance on his face. He was obviously very reluctant to leave Mao Lilan.

"Sister Xiaolan, why are you leaving the office? Can you please not leave?"

It doesn't matter if his childhood sweetheart doesn't move away now. Once he moves away, what will he do in the future?

You know, the reason why he agreed to Dr. Ari's proposal to stay in his childhood sweetheart's home was of course because the other person's home was a detective agency.

In a place like a detective agency, it is inevitable to be exposed to various commissions.

In other words, as long as he comes into contact with enough clients, he might have a chance to encounter cases and information related to the organization that turned him into a child!

By then, he would also be able to find out the true identities of the two men in black and find out what the poison he had taken was.

Even, if there is a chance, this evil organization can be destroyed.

But apart from that, the more reason is that by living here, I can be closer to my childhood sweetheart Mao Lilan.

As the saying goes, those who live near the water first get the moon. If he can live with his childhood sweetheart, he might be able to rely on his current status to reconcile his wife with his childhood sweetheart Mao Lilan, and even have a chance to get married again. Go one step further and become real boyfriend and girlfriend.

But now, such an idea has suddenly become a dream.

Because his childhood sweetheart Maori Lan is now moving away from the Maori Detective Agency!
At the very least, he will move away from the Mori Detective Agency for a while.

In this case, no matter how many operations he wants to implement, it will not help!
After all, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!
——Yes, he has the contact information of his childhood sweetheart, but that was what he had when he was a big boy. Now he is just a child of only six or seven years old, Edogawa Conan, and he still doesn’t know Mao Lilan. to a day old child.

Even if he knew the contact information of his childhood sweetheart, it would be difficult to contact him using his current identity.

What's more, how can online communication be as effective as meeting offline every day and chatting with each other at any time?
However, right now, he is likely to lose the opportunity to spend time with his childhood sweetheart.

How could he be willing to do this!
Mao Lilan pursed her pink lips and said nothing.

And sometimes, silence is undoubtedly the best answer.

At this moment, how could Conan not understand that his childhood sweetheart was determined to temporarily move to live with her mother.

To be honest, as a childhood sweetheart for many years, he still has a certain understanding of the elder Mouri Kogoro, and he also agrees and supports that his childhood sweetheart should stay away from a confused detective with all the five evils, so as not to be led astray by him. .

But that was before.

As for now...

"Sister Xiaolan, you went to live with your aunt, what about Uncle Maori? Also, when can you come back?"

Not to mention, after his childhood sweetheart left, he and Mouri Kogoro were the only two people left in the office, and now he is just a child and cannot cook at all. As for Mouri Kogoro, If they don't know how to cook, what will the two of them eat then?

Let's just say that a certain confused detective even needs Mao Lilan, his daughter, to take care of him. If he is with the other party, he will not only not be able to enjoy the other party's care, but will have to take on the responsibility of taking care of the other party, right?
What's more, a certain confused detective is not only lustful and good at drinking, but also very sloppy. If he lives with this person, he seriously doubts that he will probably be accompanied by garbage and wine bottles in the future!

He was not willing to live such a life.

"Don't worry, Conan-kun, I will be back when mother recovers."

Mao Lilan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she knelt down and said to Conan as gently and kindly as possible, "As for the period before I come back, dad will leave it to you. You have to take good care of him for me."

"Well, also, you have to take care of yourself too!"

Mao Lilan thought of this issue when he made this decision.

Yes, her father has been taken care of by her for so many years, so he may be relatively new to taking care of himself and doing housework, and he is also a novice at cooking.

But no one is born with it.

I believe that as long as the other party tries a few more times, he will definitely learn it.

But if you don’t try, the other person will never try!

Therefore, whether it is for the good of her father, to give the other party a chance to grow, or to teach the other party a lesson and make her mother angry, this time she is going to move in with her mother. , it is impossible to stay in the office any longer.

"Sister Xiaolan, I understand!"

Seeing that his childhood sweetheart had decided to leave, no matter what he said, he could not change the other person's mind. What else could Conan say, he could only nodded and accepted the important task given by his childhood sweetheart. .

"I will listen to you and take good care of myself and Uncle Maori!"

Mao Lilan smiled with satisfaction, "Well, thank you Conan-kun!"
