Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 54 Mihua Modern Art Museum

"What? Medieval armor can walk on its own?" Fei Yingli, who had just had breakfast and was about to read a document, was confused when she heard her daughter's words.

"Yes, both security guards said they saw it while patrolling at night, and the news has spread around the area."

Fei Yingli immediately guessed when she heard it. This was probably the news that the museum itself deliberately spread for marketing purposes. The purpose was just to attract people to buy more sightseeing tickets. She was only moderately interested in it.

"I really want to see it."

Fei Yingli wanted to explain, but when she saw the yearning look on Xiaolan's face, she knew that Xiaolan had to go.

"Since you want to go, let's invite some friends to go together."

"Ah~ Mom, won't you go with me?" Xiaolan hugged Fei Yingli's arm who was reading the newspaper and said coquettishly with her lips pouted.

Although Fei Yingli felt indebted, she still touched Xiaolan's hair gently and explained: "No, I have a lot of documents to process today, and the client told me to send them to him before tomorrow, and this novel It’s just something that only young people are interested in.”

What Fei Yingli meant was that it was obvious that adults would not be interested in such things.

Xiaolan also understood that her mother was very busy at work, so she initially invited Sonoko and Shinichi, but they both rejected her because they were busy, and Shinichi said she was "childish like a primary school student." ’ She was so angry that she hung up the phone on the spot.

"But no one is going with me."

Listening to her daughter's complaints, Fei Yingli adjusted her eyes and asked suspiciously, "Where are your friends and that naughty guy from the Kudo family?"

Xiaolan told what happened before and laughed at herself: "Maybe I am the only one who is so naive."

Fei Yingli, who realized something was wrong, asked again: "Are you just these two friends?"

"Ah?" Xiaolan wondered what her mother meant, "What do you mean just these few friends?" ’

Xiaolan is very popular in school and knows a lot of people. However, Xiaolan keeps her relationship with them inside the school and does not have much communication outside the school. After all, she has to go home to cook for Kogoro after school. , and on Saturdays and Sundays, because she does housework, she has no time to spend on social gatherings like her peers.

On weekdays, she only plays with Sonoko, so the two are best friends.

After listening to her daughter's explanation, Fei Yingli couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiaolan. The reason why Xiaolan's social circle was so narrow was probably caused by her and Kogoro.

Seeing her daughter's increasingly lonely expression, Fei Yingli began to become confused and began to blame herself.

"By the way, wasn't there a boy waiting for you downstairs last week? Just tell him."

"Huh? Last week?" Xiaolan recalled that when she went to the Valentine's Day party last week, Brother Fujiwara did come downstairs to wait for her, and the two of them waited here for Sonoko to come over.

"Mom is talking about Brother Fujiwara, right?"

"Fujiwara?"

"Well, the new neighbor who moved across from the Mori Detective Agency is also my father's student."

Feiyingli did remember that a man named Fujiwara Hoshikai bought the three-story building opposite the Mori Detective Agency and told his assistant that he wanted to open a detective agency. At that time, she was worried about her husband, thinking that he was here to steal Kogoro's commission.

"You said that man named Fujiwara Hoshikai is your father's student?"

"Well, it's surprising. I'm surprised too. But Brother Fujiwara said that he came to be his disciple because he discovered the shining point in my father."

Naturally, she was not convinced by this unreliable answer, but seeing her daughter's joyful expression when talking about the other party made her grasp the point and reminded: "Oh, so that's it. Then tell him, And there’s an extra kid at the office, so I might as well call him and the three of you go together.”

"Yeah, why didn't I think of Conan and Brother Fujiwara?"

Xiaolan had a hunch that these two people would definitely agree to go with her.

"I'll call Brother Fujiwara right away."

"Ah."

Seeing the smile on her daughter's face, she felt relieved. After all, what if parents don't like their children to be happy?

On the other side, Fujiwara Hoshimi is also persuading the two people here to go to the art museum together. According to the original work, this work should be completed by Xiaolan. After all, she was the person who promoted it at the time. However, Xiaolan left, and this work fell on Fujiwara's shoulders.

But no matter what he said, both of them refused on the grounds that it was boring.

"I said Fujiwara, do you really believe it? These things are all sent by the museum itself to trick tourists into buying tickets."

"Hahaha, Brother Fujiwara, it's true. Even Genta Ayumi probably won't believe this kind of news."

Only a simple girl like Xiaolan would find this kind of news magical.

"Harmful…"

The plot of this episode left a deep impression on him. Director Ochiai was one of the few murderers in Conan who was exposed and still calmly waited for his arrest. Regardless of his motives, he just said, "Knights kill demons." From this point of view, the expressiveness of the sense of fate contained in this episode is endlessly evocative.

But when I was watching this episode, I was curious about how an old man who was nearly 70 years old could nail a person to the wall while wearing armor?

Could it be because Ke Xue or the murderer is someone else?

"Okay, it seems I have to go and see for myself."

In fact, it’s good to go to an art museum alone, and you can have a greater sense of participation at the same time.

Just when he was about to go out, a call came. He took out his phone and saw that it was Mao Lilan.

"Hey, Xiaolan."

When they heard that the caller was Xiaolan, the other two people in the office immediately pricked up their ears.

"Oh, ok, ok, I just wanted to take a look, what a coincidence, yes, ok, you said Conan, Conan may not be interested, I just told him about this, he said he is not interested, oh Oh, okay, just the two of us can go, okay, see you at the entrance of the art museum."

As soon as Fujiwara hung up the phone, two people, one large and one small, rushed to him to ask about the situation.

"Xiaolan said she wanted to go to the Mihua Art Museum to see the walking armor, so she asked Conan and I to go together."

"Then what did you say?" Mouri Kogoro and Conan asked at the same time.

"I said I could, but Conan didn't agree."

As soon as he heard that Xiao Rangen and Fujiwara were visiting the art museum together, Conan became anxious and quickly said that he would go too.

"I do. I also want to go to the art museum with Sister Xiaolan. Please take me there."

Conan didn't want the two of them to be alone, and he vaguely felt that Xiaolan and Fujiwara Hoshikai had a crush on each other, and something might happen if he didn't follow them.

The relationship between the two has never had a chance to ease since Xiaolan left. Kogoro realized that what he said at that time was indeed too much for Xiaolan. He also thought it would be better for Xiaolan to live in Feiyingli than here.

But he couldn't save the dignity to apologize, so he had to entrust Fujiwara to take Xiaolan to have a good meal after seeing the 'armor that can walk on its own'.

This is the only way Kogoro can make amends.

"This is the remaining 70,000 yen after accepting the commission the day before yesterday. Just buy some of what Xiaolan likes. Don't save money. It doesn't matter even if you spend it all."

"Okay, but teacher, why don't you come with us?"

Fujiwara remembered that since Xiaolan ran away from home, the father and daughter seemed to have not reconciled yet.

"Why am I, a grown man, going there? Just remember to use the money to make Xiaolan happy. And if you have some money left, buy some children's clothes for this kid. I think he only has one set of clothes all day long. Others think Do you think I'm deducting his maintenance fee?"

What Kogoro said is not unreasonable. Conan seems to be wearing his iconic blue and gray suit all day long.

"Okay, just wrap it up on me."

It would have been better for Kogoro to complete these things, but there was no way, who made this guy an old tsundere?
