Chapter Thirty-Seven: Maori Can't Hold It Anymore
"By the way, Xiaolan, did that kid say when he came over?"
On the street, after the three of them finished chatting about Shimizu Jing, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly asked.
[That kid? γ
The dumb hair on the top of Conan's head suddenly moved.
"Well, he said he would go home and change his clothes first, and he would be over soon." Maolilan replied with a smile.
[He? γ
Conan was suddenly alert, looked up at Mao Lilan, and asked in a cute tone:
"Sister Xiaolan, who are you talking about?"
"It's a transfer student in our class, and the kid said he wanted to be a guest at Xiaolan's house today." Karasuma Ying touched Conan's head and explained.
"Huh?!" The alarm bell sounded in his heart, and Conan hurriedly asked, "HeβWhy does he want to come to our house?!" β
Do you say, do you say......
"Uh-huh~~"
Seeing this, Suzuki Sonoko on the side suddenly showed a narrow smile on her face, she stepped forward and pressed Conan's head, and teased with a smile:
"You little ghost, don't you think Xiaolan has a new boyfriend, so you're jealous here, right?"
"Garden, you're really ......" Maolilan smiled, looking helpless.
"Isn't it?" Conan broke free of Sonoko Suzuki's hand and retorted loudly with a red face.
"How's that going?" Staring at Conan, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly thought of a possibility, "You little ghost, could it be that you want to tell Shinichi?" β
"IβI don't need to complain to my brother!"
"Alright, stop making trouble, let's go." Greeting these two living treasures, Mao Lilan explained with a smile: "What the child wants to see is actually his father, not me......
"Huh? See Uncle? Conan was stunned and caught up with Maoriran.
"Well, that kid is a mystery fan and a fan of Mr. Maori." Karasuma Ying on the side said.
[I see......]
Conan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Really, he thought it was......
"Little ghost head~" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly stepped forward and looked at Conan hehehe, "Why do you look like you're relieved?" It's hard to ......"
"No, no! I said no! β
"So anxious to deny it? Hey, hey, hey......"
After a fight, the four of them gradually walked downstairs to the Maori detective agency.
Karasuma noticed that the first floor of the office, which had been unused, had been opened, and there were many large cardboard boxes that looked like they were used for furniture.
"Xiaolan, has the shop on the first floor been rented out?" Karasuma Ying turned her head to look at Mao Lilan beside her and asked.
"Well, I rented it out yesterday afternoon, and the tenants are a pair of beautiful siblings." Maoriran replied.
Because Karasuma Ying has her own rented a house outside, and Maori Kogoro happened to give her a day off yesterday, so she naturally didn't know about it.
"Look, here's their business card." Mao Lilan rummaged through her body and handed the two business cards she had received yesterday to Karasuma Ying.
The first business card says Megumi Amamiya, the host of Rice Flower TV.
The second business card reads Amamiya Rui, the painter.
"Miss Hui is the host of Rice Flower TV, and she wants to rent the shop on the first floor for her younger brother, Mr. Rui, to use as a gallery."
"Hmm." Karasuma nodded and didn't ask anything more.
The four of them went up to the second floor, and Maoriran opened the door with the key.
"Coming back? Xiaolan? β
On the sofa facing the door, Mori Kogoro crossed his legs, lowered his head, closed his eyes, turned to a book, and his voice was low.
"I'm sorry you just came back and said that, but can you make me a cup of coffee first? Without the coffee you brewed, my brain cells seemed to be awkward, and I couldn't wake up and work......"
Silence, deathly silence.
"Daddy...... Are you okay? Mao Lilan looked at his father's strange appearance and asked worriedly.
"Uncle, you don't matter, right?" Sonoko Suzuki also showed a rare worried look.
"Mr. Maori, I'll help you make coffee." Karasuma Ying walked into the house, put down her school bag, and walked straight to the kitchen.
"Huh?"
It seems that he finally realized that something was wrong, Maori Kogoro opened his eyes and looked at a few people in front of the door, and suddenly twisted his head, shook his hand, and the whole person collapsed on the sofa.
"What, it turns out that only the rich family is messing around with the willful young lady......"
"Huh, nonsense, willful?!" When Suzuki Sonoko heard this, she gritted her teeth and was about to reason with Maori Kogoro.
"Stinky uncle! Who do you say ......?"
"Ahh Yes! The guy I'm talking about, he's going to be here for a while! Mao Lilan hurriedly stood in front of Suzuki Sonoko and said with a smile.
"How long will it take? Really, I wasted all my effort to meet ...... so hard."
Muttering, Kogoro Mori got up and turned on the TV and watched the horse racing show.
"Uncle, it's just a high school boy, why are you pretending to be like this......" Suzuki Sonoko gave him a blank look.
"Coffee."
In the kitchen, Karasuma Ying walks out with four cups of coffee and a glass of water, the water belongs to Conan, because it is not good for children to drink coffee.
"Huh? Is it a boy? Hearing this, Maori Kogoro's eyes widened suddenly, "Didn't you say that she was a classmate who looked very similar to the hostess Mizuno Nari?" β
"It looks alike, but the kid is a boy...... Morilan explained.
"Oh, speaking of water without mercy...... At this time, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly spoke: "I heard yesterday that this hostess seems to have resigned a few days ago." β
"Resigned? Why? β
"I don't know, maybe I'm going back to my hometown to get married, right?"
"Can't you see her in the future? Obviously, I think she is very good at hosting the show......"
"Ding Dong!"
While a few people were chatting, the doorbell of the office rang.
"Ahh It should be the kid who came. Maolilan said.
"Please come in."
As the words fell, as the door of the office was opened, a young man with beautiful glasses walked in, he saw Maori Kogoro in the room at a glance, and then hurriedly stepped forward with a big bow.
"Nice to meet you! Maori detectives! My name is Eiyu Hondo! What an honor to meet you! β
"Well, hello." Kogoro Maori closed his eyes and nodded slightly, with a steady smile on his face that is characteristic of middle-aged people.
"Please advise!"
Eiyu Hondo made another big bow, and by chance hit Conan, who was walking in front of him to get water.
"Wow!"
The two big heads collided together, Conan screamed and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, while Eiyu Hondo leaned back and took several steps back unsteadily, hitting the locker behind him.
"Sorry, sorry!"
Embarrassed to Conan, Eiyu Hondo didn't notice that the large cardboard box that had been placed on the locker shook and fell on top of his head because of his impact.
"Hon-san! ...... on your head"
"Boom!"
The large cardboard box fell without any suspense, smashing Hondo Yingyou's glasses off.
"No, it's okay! I'm fine! Don't worry about ......."
"Boom!"
With another bang, he was dizzy and lost his glasses, and he slipped his foot and fell into the pile of debris in front of the locker, and was completely buried in it.
"It hurts......"
Seeing this scene, even Maori Kogoro couldn't hold back.
"I probably know why you're calling him that kid......"
"Ahaha......"
"Well, is this a Maori detective agency?"
At this time, a middle-aged man walked into the office and asked suspiciously.
