Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 340: A Wedding of N Equal Parts! (Monthly Ticket Request!)
Early in the morning, on a train heading towards Kyoto.

"No one would hang their beard on the Shinkansen on the day of their friend's wedding."

Looking at Kogoro Mouri who was shaving his beard with an electric shaver, Ran Mouri was speechless.

She thought her father was unreliable enough, but she didn't expect that his unreliability could be even higher!

For a moment, she didn't know whether she should praise her father for being so "capable" or be speechless that his level of depravity had deepened after he left her care.

Hearing what Mao Lilan said, Mao Li Kogoro stopped what he was doing and argued unconvincedly: "It's all because of work. I discussed things with the client until too late last night, so I couldn't get up in the morning!"

"That sounds nice." Mao Lilan laughed, but she didn't believe her father's excuse at all. "He was obviously drunk and fell asleep in the entrance hall."

As father and daughter for so many years, how could she not know what kind of person her father is?
What were you discussing with a client last night?

Oh, if she really believed her father's lies, she would be too naive!

At this point, Mao Lilan paused, and said in a subtle tone, "As far as I know, Bai Yejun often works until very late, but why have I never seen him be late for work?"

As for why she knew it so clearly, the reason was very simple.

Because the main reason why Bai Ye worked until late was because of her.

After all, many times, she is the other person's job content.

When Maori Kogoro heard his daughter say this, he knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to get angry, for fear of making his daughter angry again, which would make her return indefinitely. He could only turn his head away and said proudly: "Humph! Don't forget, it was you who said you wanted to come, so I brought you along!"

"Because the wedding ceremony was held in Kyoto."

Mao Lilan clasped her hands together, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be shining.

As a girl, she has almost no resistance to weddings.

Not to mention, this wedding ceremony was held in Kyoto.

——Japanese wedding ceremonies are roughly divided into three types: Shinto-style, church-style, and public-style. The "Shinto-style" is usually held by the couple's families who have religious beliefs; the "church-style" is a Western-style wedding; the most common is the "public-style" where the couple swears their love in front of their family and friends.

The most traditional wedding in Japan is called the Kamizeki. As the name suggests, the so-called "Kamiizeki" refers to a wedding ceremony held in the temple of a shrine based on Japanese Shintoism.

The Shinto-style wedding is held at a shrine, and usually only the newlyweds and their relatives are present. With the accompaniment of traditional music, the groom wears a black and white kimono, and the bride appears in a pure white kimono. The priest leads the newlyweds to the temple for the ceremony, and the atmosphere is solemn and serious.

At the ceremony, the priest will first read a congratulatory message to the newlyweds, report the news of their marriage to the gods, then swear to stay together forever, exchange rings, and then a witch will offer wine to the groom three times, three cups each time, for a total of nine times, and all must be drunk in one gulp. This ritual of drinking wine from the same cup is called "three three nine degrees". Drinking three cups in a row symbolizes that this marriage is a good combination of heaven, earth, and man, and nine cups of wine means living together until old age and for a long time.

The pure white Japanese dress that Japanese brides wear at their weddings is called "Shiromuku". It is said that the Japanese began to use Shiromuku as a wedding dress in the Muromachi period. The Japanese believe that white is the color of God, symbolizing purity. Wearing white means that the bride has died in her parents' home and is waiting to be reborn in her husband's home, and will be stained with the color of her husband's family again.

The bride wore a pure white kimono and the groom wore a kimono with a family crest. They took their wedding vows in front of the gods at the shrine and officially became husband and wife. The whole ceremony was quite solemn and dignified.

And to hold such a wedding, there is no doubt that the most suitable place is those famous shrines.

For example, Kamigamo Shrine in Kyoto.

Kamigamo Shrine is one of the oldest shrines in Kyoto. It was built in 678 AD and embodies the style of ancient Japanese architecture.

In addition, 1628 cultural heritage buildings such as the Hosedon built in 34 are preserved, fully displaying the magnificent scenery of the ancient shrine.

Murasaki Shikibu, the author of The Tale of Genji, also came here to seek marriage, so it is a very popular tourist attraction and the place where most traditional religious activities are held. This shrine has a long history and it had become the most famous shrine by the end of the 7th century.

It has been preserved to this day with thousands of years of cultural heritage, and the ancient charm here is definitely the dream choice for all those who want to get married!
If possible, Mao Lilan hopes that her wedding can be held in Kyoto, which is full of ancient charm, so that the ancient Kyoto can witness her love and let the love between her and her lover last forever.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cast her eyes on Bai Ye who was sitting next to her, "Bai Ye-jun, you must want to go too, right?"

After all, the wedding is not just her business. As her boyfriend and future husband, Bai Ye's opinion is also very important.

Noticing Mao Lilan's eyes full of expectation and yearning, Bai Ye knew what his girlfriend was thinking, and smiled, "Of course!"

I always feel that if he said he didn't want to go at this time, a certain Maori lady who has evolved from a girl to a wife would cry.

In order to prevent a certain Mrs. Aozaki from getting so heartbroken that she would violently hurt others, he nodded in agreement.

However, this is not to say that he is not sincere.

Because he was indeed planning to marry Mao Lilan.

Well, the only thing that is different from what Maori Ran imagined is that when he gets married in the future, the bride at the wedding may not be just Maori Ran!

"So, why did Bai Ye come here with you, Xiaolan?"

When he said this, Kogoro Mouri stared at the black-haired boy sitting opposite him with an extremely unfriendly look, as if he wanted to eat the other person.

You know, his favorite idol is Yoko Okino.

As a result, a certain guy, who was obviously a good friend of Yoko Okino and obviously knew that his favorite was Yoko Okino, had never told his former teacher about it. Not only that, he even stole the spotlight from the popular idol Yoko Okino, causing him to be reduced from the protagonist to a passerby!
This hatred is simply irreconcilable.

Hearing this, Mao Lilan's eyes flashed with shyness, which was fleeting. "Because we just happened to meet on the road!"

"Besides, Bai Ye-kun happens to have nothing to do today, so I invited him to go to Kyoto with me."

In fact, it wasn't a coincidence.

Instead, last night, she stayed at Bai Ye's house, and the two of them spent a pleasant night together in bed as usual.

However, there is no need to tell her father, Kogoro Mori, about this matter.

She was afraid that the other party would be so angry that he would vomit blood if he suddenly knew the news. On the other hand, it was also because she was not mentally prepared to make her relationship public to others. At this point, in order to cover up her guilty conscience, Mao Lilan quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Conan-kun, I suddenly realized that your shoes are new."

Hearing this, Conan, who was eating, was stunned for a moment, "Well, it was given to me by Dr. Agasa."

After saying this, Edogawa Conan couldn't help but fall into memories.

——I still remember that day, when he went to exchange information with his good neighbor, Dr. Agasa, a "genius inventor" who was keen on scientific experiments, as usual, the other party handed him a pair of shoes before he could say anything.

"Look, I have made a good thing. This is a pair of shoes that can enhance your foot strength. If you use this pair of shoes to play football, the criminals will not be your opponents at all. Using electricity and magnetism to stimulate the acupoints on your feet can increase your strength to the maximum limit." Dr. Agasa said proudly while holding the shoes.

Looking at Dr. Agasa, whose face was full of pride while speaking, Conan's eyes flickered, "Where are the glasses?"

Although many of the things Dr. Agasa made were actually scrap copper and iron, and there were small explosions at home due to failed experiments, but as a scientist with a doctorate in engineering, Dr. Agasa still had a high talent for invention.

Otherwise, he would not have placed his hopes on the other party to modify some props that could help him solve the case.

"Ah, it's already been made. It's even equipped with a very small eavesdropping device. It will definitely come in handy."

Recalling the conversation between himself and Dr. Agasa, as well as the auxiliary props he got from him, Conan pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled, "Haha, with these props, I can do something in an emergency in the future."

I believe that with the help of these props provided by Dr. Agasa, when he encounters a situation like before where he is threatened by a criminal, he will never be like last time, completely powerless to resist and can only watch death coming!
"Shinkansen."

Just when Conan was imagining that he would surpass Bai Ye in solving cases with the help of the props in his hands, suddenly, the voices of three familiar children rang out, interrupting his thoughts.

Looking at the three little kids who were shouting and running towards him and the others, Kogoro Mori couldn't help but frown.

Because among the three people, the little girl who was the leader had a sweet and lovely appearance, a standard baby face, and a pair of watery eyes under her curved eyebrows.

The boy on her left was wearing a light blue pullover and light khaki trousers. He had straight black hair with bangs on both sides, thin eyebrows, large eyes with small pupils. The most notable feature was the freckles on his face and his thin figure.

The boy on her right had a round spot on his head, which was a bald spot. His waist circumference was more than twice that of a normal child. In terms of volume, he was almost as big as two children of the same age.

That’s right, these three children are none other than Ayumi Yoshida, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima.

"And why are you going with these guys?"

Kogoro Mori felt angry when he saw this group of noisy kids.

Mao Lilan tilted her head and said calmly, "What does it matter? I got the travel money from their parents."

It's more lively when there are more people.

Moreover, it can also prevent her true intention of inviting Bai Ye from being exposed.

In addition, with Ayumi and a group of other children around, they can also let Conan play with them to prevent Conan, the smart little guy, from noticing anything.

"Really? What's wrong with parents these days?"

Kogoro Mouri kept complaining while adjusting his tie.

As they were talking, Ayumi Yoshida ran over and came in front of Conan Edogawa who was eating a box lunch.

"Conan, let's go on an adventure together."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya echoed, "It's very interesting."

"let's go."

After saying that, without waiting for Edogawa Conan to reply, they just ran back on their own.

Looking at the figures of Ayumi and the others running away, Maori Kogoro sighed, "There's something wrong with the parents of these guys. But their parents are also really weird. They didn't even make a phone call."

I really don’t know what the parents of these children are thinking. It’s okay to let their children go out to play, but they don’t even call them. Aren’t they worried that something might happen to them?

This is too ambitious!

Wait, it seems, strangely, there’s also a little ghost living in his house.

Thinking of this, Maori Kogoro glanced at a kid who was still eating a box lunch, then turned his gaze to his daughter, "By the way, Xiaolan, how is that guy Kudo Shinichi doing recently? I haven't heard from him for a while."

Hearing this, Mao Lilan was slightly stunned, "I don't know!"

She has been busy showing her love to her boyfriend recently, so she has no time to care about a high school detective who only cares about cases.

"what?"

Maori Kogoro was a little surprised, "You don't know?"

Hasn't his daughter always had a good relationship with her childhood sweetheart, Kudo Shinichi?

He had even worried that his precious daughter would be kidnapped by this hateful high school detective.

How come his daughter doesn't care about the other person's affairs now?
Did the two of them have a falling out? Or did his precious daughter finally see through the true face of a certain high school detective and was ready to give up on him completely?
Mao Lilan pursed her pink lips and said softly, "Because he hasn't even been to school recently!"

Just think about it, how could she know the current situation of someone who doesn’t even go to school or go home?

Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, "Then why didn't you call him and ask?"
