Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1789 Idol's Engagement

"L, O, V, E! I LOVE Yoko!"

After returning from the ghost ship incident, another day passed. After school in the afternoon, Conan learned the news told to him by Hattori Heiji that Haibara actually appeared on the ghost ship in her original appearance. Therefore, Conan suspected that Haibara might have made an antidote. When he went to school today, he did not see Haibara coming to school, so he could not help but be more convinced that Haibara had already made an antidote.

Although it is also possible that she disguised herself in this way through makeup, after all, Haibara did not come to school today, which makes this speculation less likely. On the contrary, it is more likely that Haibara has not yet returned to her original appearance due to the effect of the antidote, so she took a special leave.

Therefore, based on this situation, although Conan has not directly asked Huiyuan and the others, but in terms of time, Conan guessed that Huiyuan might have made an antidote with a long-lasting effect. After all, at least 24 hours have passed since the night of the ghost ship...

This is something that is worth asking yourself when you have time.

However, just as Conan was thinking this, he returned to the Maori Detective Agency after school. When he heard Maori Kogoro cheering for Okino Yoko's stage performance on TV in the office of the agency, Conan still looked at Maori Kogoro helplessly, feeling that he was really noisy -

Besides, speaking of which, Uncle Maori was watching this videotape early this morning, right?

  He wouldn't have watched the same tape over and over again until now, right?

Seriously, this guy is hopeless...

Just as Conan was thinking this, he saw Xiaolan, who had also returned from school, coming upstairs with a pile of letters. After arriving at the office, she put the letters together with the letters she had received but had not yet opened, and said to Maori Kogoro who was cheering and supporting Okino Yoko:

"Really? Dad, you should pay more attention to your work! With so many letters, maybe someone wants to ask you to handle a case!"

In this regard, facing his daughter's words, Maori Kogoro was a little depressed. He was in high spirits and couldn't help but say:

"What does it matter? The commission I wrote to you probably isn't urgent. Just leave it there for now. I'll take a look at it later!"

——"I don't think it's because I have nothing to do, but because I don't want to do anything..."

Seeing this, Conan muttered in his heart about Kogoro Mouri's attitude.

In this regard, Xiaolan saw that Maori Kogoro was so indifferent, so she had no choice but to help Maori Kogoro read the letters.

"That's not the case. After all, wasn't the invitation to the party urgent? If you don't read it urgently, you'll miss it..."

  Xiaolan muttered unhappily, talking about the invitation to the ghost ship party, and then picked up the letters one by one and read them:

"Well... there are electricity bills, invitations to speeches, and articles for newspapers...

"Hey! This letter is from Miss Yoko!"

Suddenly, as Xiaolan flipped through the letters one by one, she soon saw a letter signed by "Okino Yoko" in the pile, and then she said this to Maori Kogoro.

  As a result, upon hearing this, Maori Kogoro immediately stood up and said in surprise:

"What! It's from Miss Yoko...what kind of letter is that?!"

Kogoro Mori asked anxiously.

  In response, Xiaolan opened the envelope, unfolded the letter inside, and after reading it roughly, Xiaolan said with some surprise:

"Oh! So you're going to hold your engagement party at a friend's house!"

"Engage...Engagement!"

However, after hearing the word "engagement", Maori Kogoro seemed to have suffered a major blow. In his mind, the heroic figure of Okino Yoko performing on the stage in the video just now still emerged, but with the appearance of the word "engagement", the picture in his mind instantly broke into the picture of Okino Yoko entering the marriage hall. He was so frightened that he didn't even hear what Xiaolan said next -

"She said that her engaged friend wants to meet Mouri Kogoro no matter what. Will you go, Dad?" Xiaolan, who had not yet noticed Mouri Kogoro's reaction, said this with a look of joy on her face because someone was getting engaged.

Then, seeing that Kogoro Mouri didn't react, she turned around and saw Kogoro Mouri standing there in a daze, muttering the word "engagement" over and over again, and he looked visibly panicked.

Conan sighed in his heart:

"He just couldn't listen..."

However, this daze did not last long. After Xiaolan repeatedly explained the situation to Maori Kogoro and simply showed him the contents of the letter, Maori Kogoro realized that everything was just a misunderstanding, and immediately changed his mood and prepared to keep the appointment.

After all, the letter was received today, and the date written on the letter was also today. If it weren't for Xiaolan's initiative to help read the letter, Kogoro Mori would have missed the invitation from Yoko Okino.

……

"Oh! It's such an honor! Miss Yoko!"

  That night, at the agreed time and place, Maori Kogoro brought Xiaolan and Conan to the parking lot of a high-rise apartment building. When they saw Okino Yoko, who was wearing glasses and dressed in ordinary clothes like a normal office worker, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but smile and greeted Okino Yoko:

"I never thought you would go out of your way to invite me to your friend's engagement party!"

"You're so polite. I'm really sorry for making such an unreasonable request all of a sudden..."

  Facing such polite words from Maori Kogoro, Okino Yoko also smiled and said apologetically:

"You must be surprised, right?"

"That's not true! How could it be possible!"

Maori Kogoro said hurriedly, and tried his best to get closer to Okino Yoko, holding his hands together, looking a little embarrassed, which made Conan behind him look depressed——

"How dare you say that... I misunderstood it before and was frustrated for a long time..."

"So, who is Miss Yoko's friend who is getting engaged?"

So, just as Conan was thinking this, Xiaolan couldn't help but step forward and ask curiously.

As for this point, Okino Yoko deliberately kept it a secret and said:

"You'll know when you see it later! You must all know it..."

"know?"

  Just as Maori Kogoro was speaking in confusion, a sports car drove up and parked in a nearby parking space. Then a tall man wearing sunglasses and a black suit got out of the car and greeted Okino Yoko:

"Hey! Yoko... You really brought a famous detective here? But I also brought a famous detective here!"

As he was talking, two people got out of the sports car.

One is a young woman, and the other is Gao Yuan...
