Stay away from Conan.

"So, do you want to tell Ai about this?"

The result of this visit was just this. No more important information was obtained. I only learned that the old house was the former residence of Xiao Ai's father, and that before the 10 billion yen robbery, Xiao Ai's sister had returned there and hid something, but now those things have been taken away by the organization...

This doesn't seem like good news at all.

Therefore, Dr. Agasa was a little unsure whether he should tell Ai about this matter. After all, to be honest, this news was a bit like giving Ai some hope, but the final result was still despair.

In this regard, facing this matter, Conan thought about it for a while, and could only say helplessly:

"Well... let's find a chance to explain this to Huibara. After all... that's also her father's old house..."

After Conan learned about those things, he felt that it was not easy to hide this from Ai, but -

"Just tell her there is such a designer, and as for more... let her do it herself."

In this case, Conan does not intend to directly tell Xiao Ai about the news that Miyano Akemi had returned there and left something, but was taken away by the organization. It is better to let Xiao Ai understand this matter herself...

At this point, the visit to the designer has come to an end.

As the day was coming to an end, Conan was returning to Beika Town in Dr. Agasa's yellow Beetle. At dusk, Conan received a call from Xiaolan.

"Hello? Conan? Where have you been today? Ah, let's not talk about that for now. Where are you now? We are leaving!"

On the other end of the phone, Xiaolan seemed a little anxious and said this to Conan.

As a result, Conan, who was sitting in the car, was shocked when he heard this:

"Departure? Departure for what?"

Perhaps because of the unexpected events regarding the organization caused by dealing with the Rena Mizunashi incident in the past two days, as well as the investigation of the acquaintances of Ai's father, Conan temporarily forgot whether he had any agreement with Xiaolan, so Conan subconsciously asked this question in surprise.

As a result, Xiaolan couldn't help but look very angry when she heard this and said:

"What? You forgot Conan. Didn't we agree to have a meal together at a high-end restaurant today? Why? You don't want to come?"

At this point, Xiaolan's tone seemed to be a little angry and she didn't want to pay attention to Conan.

Conan seemed to remember something, but was also frightened by Xiaolan's attitude, so he quickly replied:

"I will be right back!"

Having said that, after hanging up the phone, Conan hurriedly said to Dr. Agasa:

"Doctor, please send me back to the office!"

In this way, after hearing the content of the phone call between Conan and Xiaolan, Dr. Agasa did not ask any more questions, and drove directly to the Maori Detective Agency first...

……

"Is that so? You can't come?"

"I'm sorry, but I suddenly had an urgent task..."

As night fell, at the law firm of Eri Kisaki, Xiaolan's mother, lawyer Eri Kisaki, received a call from Xiaolan.

Originally, Hibari Eri and Xiaolan had made an appointment to have dinner together tonight, but unfortunately, there was an urgent work to be completed tonight, so Hibari Eri could not go to the appointment. So at this moment, when Xiaolan called to ask, Hibari Eri also knew the purpose of Xiaolan's call, so she could only apologize.

"There's nothing I can do even if I have a job..."

In response to this, Xiaolan on the other end of the phone couldn't help but say this with a bit of regret.

However, in this situation, Fei Yingli thought about it and roughly guessed Xiaolan's original purpose of inviting her. So after hearing Xiaolan's somewhat regretful mood, she continued to say:

"Oh, that's right. Tell Kogoro not to drink too much! I won't defend him if he does something to young ladies when he's drunk."

"Yes, I understand..." After hearing what her mother, Eri Kisaki, Xiaolan knew that she couldn't hide this from her mother, so she could only reply like this...

……

"I'll tell you."

Thus, as the call with Kisaki Eri was hung up, on the other side of the line, in a luxurious hotel, Ran, who was standing by a pillar on one side of the dining hall and making a phone call alone, put away her phone and could only return to the dining table in the hall where Maori Kogoro and Conan were sitting, and sat down next to Conan, and then -

"Ugh--"

In this case, Xiaolan did not hide her emotions at all, and sighed deeply, looking very depressed.

"what happened?"

Seeing this, Maori Kogoro, who was sitting opposite Xiaolan and preparing to order food with the menu in hand, couldn't help but feel very unhappy with Xiaolan's mood and said:

"We're about to have something delicious, why are you sighing?"

"But……"

Faced with her father's reaction of completely not understanding her thoughts, Xiaolan wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to say.

But Conan on the side obviously knew the reason why Xiaolan sighed, so he spoke directly:

"Do you want to call Auntie Eri as well?"

As Conan said this, he knew very well the reason why Xiaolan asked Uncle Maori to have dinner at this high-end hotel. After all, this was not the first time such a thing had happened.

"Huh? This..."

As a result, her intention was exposed by Conan in person, and Xiaolan was a little embarrassed.

Afterwards, Maori Kogoro, who heard this, immediately became furious and said even more unhappily:

"Humph! I knew it! When you suddenly said something like 'A great new restaurant has opened, let's go there together', I knew you had other intentions! And that's exactly what happened!"

Kogoro Mori seemed very unhappy about his daughter's arrangement for him to meet his wife.

——"Really? You were so excited to come then..."

Looking at Kogoro Mouri's reaction, Conan rolled his eyes at him and thought so in his heart.

Xiaolan said depressedly:

"It's so hard to even make an appointment at this restaurant... I finally got an appointment today..."

“It’s only natural that it’s so popular!”

Picking up the water cup, Maori Kogoro began to comment on this store:

"As long as the food is delicious and not expensive, and the environment is nice... those annoying little guys will flock to this kind of place to date, hold social gatherings, or go on blind dates..."

——"Eh? Isn't this Mr. Maori?"

Just as Kogoro Mori said this, a familiar voice came from the side.

Everyone turned to look, and saw the source of the voice was a slightly fat man with short hair, dressed in a somewhat fashionable way.

He is Officer Chiba of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Behind him was Officer Takagi, who was wearing a beautiful suit. However, Officer Takagi seemed very nervous after seeing Maori Kogoro and others... (End of this chapter)
