Half an hour later, even Mao Lilan began to doubt that Suzuki Sonoko and Kyogoku were really lost in the forest.
The group of people were just thinking about whether to go and look for him before the two of them finished talking.
It was originally agreed that they would go back to Tokyo today, but since Kyogoku really had no intention of going to Tokyo, the group stayed for an extra day, giving the two of them some time to date.
The next day, Chi Feichi drove a group of people back. When he finally sent Conan and Mao Lilan back to the detective office, it happened to be evening and Mao Lilan stayed for dinner.
"Eating here?" Maori Kogoro sat behind the desk with his legs on the desk, pretending to read the newspaper seriously, but in fact he secretly glanced at Maori Lan, "The young master of a large group must be very picky about food, you guys call When I come back, I will go to the supermarket to buy ingredients, Xiaolan, you must make a delicious and hearty dinner!"
"Huh?" Mao Lilan was surprised how her father could suddenly be so reliable. However, seeing Maori Kogoro's impolite attitude and the greedy look that Maori Kogoro was trying so hard to hide, her eyes suddenly turned half-mooned, "I think it's you, dad." Want to have a big meal..."
Mouri Kogoro coughed dryly, put down his legs on the table, and sat up straight, "How can you say that? Although I have been eating bento at home alone in the past two days, I kind of want to change my taste, but I also It’s not for my own sake that I asked you to cook a big meal, it’s for the sake of our lives.”
"For life?" Mao Lilan wondered.
"Think about it, Chi Feichi's family is rich. If he entrusts me with anything, the entrustment fee will definitely be indispensable. If he is given two detectives to choose from, he will definitely find an acquaintance..." Mouri Kogoro has already imagined A large sum of commission fees flew towards him, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Mao Lilan was speechless, this logic...
"But uncle, you didn't show much closeness to Brother Chi before, right?" Conan suspected that Mouri Kogoro still wanted to have a good meal by himself.
"What do you know, you little devil?" Maori Kogoro would never admit that he had just thought of this. Every time he saw Chi Feichi's cold face, he felt that the temperature around him was dropping again and again, and he wanted to be enthusiastic He is not enthusiastic either. The key is that he also has a pet snake. He is afraid of snakes. "As a famous detective, I must not be too cheap. I must maintain a serious attitude and let him know that I am very reliable!"
"Is that so?" Mao Lilan blinked.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that every time he sees Chi Feichi, Mouri Kogoro is still very serious.
Even the last time I went to Morizono's house, I always looked serious when communicating with Morizon Mikio...
Although she felt that this idea was a bit calculated against her friends, if Chi Feichi had something to do, it would be better to entrust her father to her than to anyone else. Acquaintances would always take more care of her.
And it's rare to have someone who can make her father pay attention to his image, which is also a good thing.
However, we are all friends. If Chi Feichi had a commission, she would also keep an eye on her father and not collect money randomly...
"Originally I planned to convince him with my strength and told him to come to me if he had any entrustments in the future, but the few times I met him, it seemed that I never had the chance to appear," Mouri Kogoro thought while stroking his chin, "Last time I was there The Morizon family finally had a chance to solve the case, but that kid from Osaka solved the case first. So this kind of high school student detective is the most annoying. Before stealing the limelight, we should at least consider the detectives like us who need to support our families. …”
Conan thought in his mind, of course. With that guy Chi Feichi here, how could the sleeping Kogoro still have a chance to appear?
With Chi Feichi's ability, there is no need to entrust the detective to do anything. The uncle just thinks too well...
"But then again, didn't he come with you?" Mouri Kogoro didn't forget to tidy up his clothes, "That's fine, you just need to cooperate with me later and let him understand that I am a reliable detective."
"It's Brother Chi..." Mao Lilan turned to look at the door.
"Because I feel like I can't visit empty-handed," Chi Feichi walked in and put a bag on the table, "so I went to buy something."
Maori Kogoro looked at Chi Feichi's calm expression and eyes throughout the whole process, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Sure enough, the temperature dropped...
"Brother Fei Chi, you are too polite." Mao Lilan said hurriedly.
"Fruits and wine," Mouri Kogoro wanted to go over and take a look when he saw the wine. However, he was worried that he would feel colder in the past, so he could only suppress his excitement and took a look from a distance, "It's still valuable. There’s good wine!”
Mao Lilan felt happy when she saw that Mao Li Kogoro kept his appearance while drinking, and said with a smile, "You guys talk first, I'm going to cook!"
Chi Feichi nodded, feeling that Maori Kogoro was weird.
Although the bottle of wine he bought was not a famous wine that was about to become extinct, it was still a rare famous wine. Why did Kogoro Mouri react so indifferently?
Thinking about it carefully, Mouri Kogoro seems to have always had a cold attitude towards him. This was evident last time at Morizono's house. They were obviously acquaintances, but Mouri Kogoro would rather keep chatting with Morizon Mikio than talk to him. He meant to chat for a few words.
Have a problem with him?
Or is it that everyone is wrong, and that Mouri Kogoro is actually not as unreliable as he appears on the surface? Do you think he is a dangerous person and are wary of him in your heart?
Mouri Kogoro raised his eyes and met Chi Feichi's so calm gaze that it was hard to see through. He also saw Feichi slipping out of Chi Feichi's sleeves and lying on the table playing. He stiffened unconsciously and kept his expression serious. , sitting up straight: "..."
How on earth did his daughter become friends with such a person?
Incredible!
Chi Feichi: "..."
What's the problem?
Conan: "..."
Uncle is pretending a little too much.
It seems like he's gone cold... No, he can be more confident and remove the 'as if'.
In the kitchen, the sound of kitchen utensils was heard from time to time.
There was silence outside. The three of them sat quietly, their minds active, but no one spoke, just like three stone sculptures.
Mao Lilan finished cooking the dishes, turned around and went out, and saw the three people silent and solemn looking, "The dishes are ready... uh, what's wrong?"
"It's okay..." Mouri Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief. If he continued to be so depressed, he felt like he was about to be crushed to death by the increasingly dull atmosphere. He coughed seriously, "Ahem... let's eat."
Chi Feichi nodded. He had observed that for forty-seven minutes, Mouri Kogoro watched his nose and heart without even moving. This concentration was a bit amazing...
Mouri Kogoro, who was forced to have amazing concentration, arrived at the dinner table and opened the wine brought by Chi Feichi directly. He decided to drink a good glass of wine to calm down his shock. Halfway through the drink, he vaguely felt a chill in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. , looked up at Chi Feichi, "Does Mr. Chi drink? Do you want to have a couple of drinks together?"
Chi Feichi nodded, "Okay."
Ten minutes after dinner starts...
"Ah ha ha ha ha! It's really good wine!" Maori Kogoro laughed and drank two glasses of wine. He even ignored the low pressure around Chi Feichi. While drinking, he boasted to Chi Feichi about the cases he had solved. "Let me tell you, that time..."
Chi Feichi lowered his head to drink and listened to Maori Kogoro telling the same case twice. When Maori Kogoro stopped drinking again, he asked directly, "Mr. Maori, do you have any objections to me?"
Mao Lilan sweated and looked at her father. Did she pretend to be too much just now and was she misunderstood...
