"Hahaha! That's not the case, Ms. Chrissy!"
Faced with the question from "Chrissy Wynyard", Kogoro Mori laughed and explained:
"I actually have an assistant in my office. In addition, my daughter and a friend's child also live upstairs.
It's just that they were all invited out by friends yesterday and won't be back until one o'clock today. "
"A friend's child?"
"Well, his name is Conan. He is a six-year-old naughty kid. He is obviously not very old. He doesn't study hard all day long and just wants to play detective games...
Well, maybe you are influenced by me, a famous detective, right? Ha ha! "
As he spoke, Mouri Kogoro showed a proud smile on his face.
"As expected of a Maori detective."
Shirakawa Kiyoshi patted Mouri Kogoro's ass appropriately, but still kept a smile on his face.
"But, even though he is a friend's child, he is still so young. Wouldn't it be pitiful to just put him out in foster care?"
"Yeah, I've thought about this too."
When Mouri Kogoro heard this, his face couldn't help but become serious.
"It's just that couple... Well, forget it, I don't know what they think. Anyway, I just try my best to take care of the child..."
"Mr. Mori..."
"Chrissy Wynyard" said with tears in her eyes, "Can I take a look at this poor child?"
"Oh, that's no problem!"
Without any doubt, Mouri Kogoro quickly stood up, rummaged through the drawer, and finally handed Shirakawa Kiyoshi a photo of Conan and Mouri Ran.
【It's him. 】
Seeing the elementary school student wearing glasses in the photo, Bai Heqing lowered his eyes.
Although the child in the photo was wearing glasses, he could tell at first glance that the child looked very similar to Yusaku's son Kudo Shinichi, whom he had met several times before.
【Is it really him? 】
"This child is so cute. I really don't know how such a cute child met such irresponsible parents...
It's a pity that I am irrelevant after all. Mr. Maori, if possible, I hope you can have a good talk with your friend and his wife. Children will eventually grow up beside their parents. "
Handing the photo back to Mouri Kogoro, Bai Heqing raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up, and bent slightly towards Moori Kogoro.
"Then, I leave everything to you, Detective Mori."
"Where is it! Miss Chris, don't worry, I will definitely convey your words to that couple!"
Mouri Kogoro quickly stood up and responded with a smile.
"In addition, if you have any clues regarding the investigation I have entrusted you with, please tell me as soon as possible."
"Don't worry! I will definitely do it!"
"Um……"
"Be safe on the road, Miss Chrissy."
At Maori Kogoro's concerned instructions, Bai Heqing left the detective agency.
That child actually looks exactly like Yusaku’s single seedling when he was a child...
Is this a coincidence, or is it true that Kudo Shinichi has become a primary school student as Ireland said?
If it's the latter, does that mean that Shirley, who defected and disappeared, has actually become smaller?
If that's the case, then Shirley...where are you hiding? Is there any relationship between you and Kudo Shinichi?
Downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency, before Bai Heqing had gone far, an ordinary taxi slowly stopped downstairs.
"Excuse me, Mr. Driver."
Opening the car door, Mao Lilan, Karasuma Ying and Conan got out of the car.
"I'm finally back. This party was so thrilling..."
Looking up at her house, Mao Lilan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry on her face gradually dissipated. It seemed that only at this moment did she feel completely relieved.
Karasuma Ying smiled and raised her hand to straighten the messy hair around her ears.
"Okay, don't worry. Let's go up first. Don't forget to call Yuanzi and tell her that we are back."
"Ok, I know."
The three of them walked into the office together, but as soon as the door opened, Mao Lilan's expression changed.
She glared at Mouri Kogoro who was still sitting on the sofa and giggled, put her hands on her hips, and shouted:
"Dad! Who came to the office just now?!"
"Ah? Oh, it's Xiaolan and Xiaoying? Are you back? How was it? Did you have fun this time?"
"Dad, I'm asking you a question! Who came to the office just now?!"
On the side, Karasuma Ying looked at the cute and happy father and daughter with envy, smiled, shook her head, and walked straight to the kitchen.
It's almost time to have lunch.
Behind her, Conan didn't even bother to complain and walked directly to his room. He still had homework.
"Dad! Are you secretly looking for women outside while we are not at home?! Is this worthy of your mother?!"
"Looking for, looking for a woman outside?!"
When Mouri Kogoro heard this, everyone was dumbfounded. The conscience of heaven and earth showed that Mouri was just a lustful person. He still had this moral bottom line!
"Xiaolan, what are you thinking about? How could dad go find a woman outside?"
"Then what's the smell of perfume all over the room? Don't tell my dad that you still have a hobby of wearing women's perfume!"
"Oh~ So Xiaolan, that's what you're talking about..."
Mouri Kogoro understood instantly, laughed, waved his hands, and explained:
"This is the scent of Miss Chris's perfume. It's not an outside woman. Miss Chris is here to entrust dad to investigate..."
"Miss Chrissy? Are you a foreigner?"
Realizing that she seemed to have misunderstood her father, Mao Lilan's cheeks turned red, while Karasuma Ying, who had been listening to the father and daughter bickering in the kitchen, was stunned for a moment.
"Yes." Mouri Kogoro nodded and explained: "She is Chrissy Wynyard, the daughter of Sharon Wynyard, the famous female movie star of the American Empire."
"Clang!"
In the kitchen, there was suddenly the sound of a kitchen knife falling to the ground. Mao Lilan heard the sound and asked quickly:
"Sister Ying, are you okay?"
"No, it's okay Xiaolan, it's just that I suddenly lost my grip..."
Karasuma Ying picked up the kitchen knife and walked to the kitchen door. First she smiled at Maori Lan, then looked at Maori Kogoro and asked:
"Mr. Maury, are you sure she is really Chris Wynyard? Could it be someone pretending to be..."
"Don't worry, Xiaoying, it's impossible. Miss Chris also showed me her passport and SSN. It's her, there's nothing wrong with it."
"This, this is it..."
"What's wrong? Sister Ying?"
"No, it's nothing. I just suddenly heard the name of a big star, so I was a little curious..."
Karasuma Ying replied after hearing this. For some reason, her expression seemed a little flustered.
"Huh? Huh? Huh?"
At this moment, Mouri Kogoro, who was looking at Karasuma Ying, suddenly frowned. He looked at Karasuma Ying's face repeatedly, as if he was observing something.
"dad!"
"What's wrong, Mr. Mori? Is there something on my face?" Karasuma Ying also asked in confusion.
"No, that's not the case. It's just that I suddenly felt that Xiaoying, you look... somewhat similar to Miss Chris..."
