Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 580 (Please vote for me!)
Seeing this, Maori Kogoro stepped forward confidently and said loudly: "Mr. Sakaguchi Masayoshi, you still don't plead guilty? You used the sound of the clock as a signal to train John to attack Xiaogang. The evidence is irrefutable!"

Masayoshi Sakaguchi's legs went weak and he slowly knelt on the ground, holding his head in his hands. He said in a trembling voice: "Yes, I did it. I can't forget that my son was bullied. When I saw Xiaogang appear in front of me again, hatred surged in my heart..." His voice gradually choked and tears welled up in his eyes.

Afterwards, Masayoshi Sakaguchi pleaded guilty and was sentenced to death. The German Shepherd dog John was sent to the home of Masayoshi Sakaguchi's relatives to be raised. In the new environment, John gradually became docile, as if he had let go of the haze of the past.

Because of this case, Kogoro Mouri became more and more famous in Beika Town, and more and more people came to him to entrust them with cases.

Conan still silently works behind the scenes, using his wisdom and reasoning ability to assist Kogoro Mouri in solving one difficult case after another and guarding the peace of Beika Town.

……

On a sunny and warm morning, the breeze was blowing gently, and the flowers, plants and trees in the park were stretching out in the morning breeze.

Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri and Conan, together with Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko from the Young Detective Team, stroll together in this vibrant park.

Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri sat leisurely on a bench in the park, enjoying the pleasant time.

Not far away, Ayumi's face was filled with excitement. She looked at Conan with sparkling eyes and said excitedly: "That's great, John really wasn't executed!"

Hearing Ayumi's cheers, Conan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile, and nodded in response: "Yes! He is now being fostered in the home of Uncle Itakuchi Masayoshi's relatives, and he is living well."

"Hehe!" Yuan Tai also laughed out loud when he heard it.

Ayumi was so happy that she jumped up and down, shouting loudly: "That's great!"

At this time, Maori Kogoro, who was sitting on a park bench, tugged at his collar with both hands handsomely, closed his eyes slightly, and said proudly with a look of confidence that was almost written on his face: "It's all because of me, Maori Kogoro, who took action! Otherwise, this matter would not be so easy to solve, hehehehehe!"

As he spoke, he began to grin to himself, as if saying that he was a hero who saved the world.

However, Yuan Tai seemed to suddenly remember something, and his cheerful expression dimmed instantly. He muttered dejectedly, "Really? There's no John in that house anymore!"

As soon as these words came out, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko seemed to have their energy drained away. They instantly lost their excitement and became depressed. Mitsuhiko echoed Genta's words and said, "That's right! He is so cute, I really don't want him to leave."

Seeing the three little guys in front of her looking lost, Mao Lilan smiled gently and comforted them softly: "It's okay! There are still many cute dogs! Look! That dog looks a lot like John!"

As she spoke, she inadvertently glanced at a woman not far away, walking leisurely in the park with a dog that looked very similar to the German Shepherd John.

So, Mao Lilan raised her hand, pointed in the direction of the woman, and said to Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko with a smile: "Look, it's over there."

"Wow, it's true! Let's go quickly!" Yuantai's eyes lit up. After careful identification, he found that the dog was indeed somewhat similar to John. He was so excited that he immediately ran over there.

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko followed behind, and the three of them ran towards the woman with the dog like three happy little deer. The woman heard the noise, stopped, and looked at the three little guys running towards her with her dog.

"Hehehehe, haha!" Ayumi laughed particularly brightly, and as soon as she ran up to the dog, she reached out and gently touched the dog, her face full of love.

The other two were also scattered aside, happily playing with the dog that looked so much like John. The dog owner saw how much the three little guys loved his dog, and couldn't help but be infected by their enthusiasm, with a gentle smile on his face, watching them play quietly.

Meanwhile, Maori Kogoro, who was sitting on a bench next to Maori Ran, saw the pretty woman with the dog. His eyes lit up instantly, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and he stared at her with a crazy look on his face. Then, as if to cheer himself up, he took a deep breath and said, "Ah!"

Maori Kogoro suddenly stood up, and his movements were so fast that Maori Ran and Conan didn't react. He quickly ran behind the woman in an exaggerated "drifting" posture. After standing still, he first cleared his throat in a pretentious manner, pretending to be elegant, and said: "My lady, I found that your dog is really beautiful!"

When the woman heard the voice, she realized that someone had suddenly appeared behind her. She turned her head and looked at Maori Kogoro in confusion. "Huh?" She asked softly, with confusion written all over her face.

Seeing this, Maori Kogoro stroked his hair and pretended to let it fall back in a cool manner. Then he approached the woman with a flattering look on his face and said, "Actually, I like dogs too. Why don't we go to the cafe and talk about dogs?"

The woman was a little overwhelmed by Maori Kogoro's sudden approach and overly close behavior. Her face flushed with shyness, and at the same time, she was faintly uneasy. She waved her hands subconsciously, forced a smile, and declined politely: "No, no thanks!"

"It's okay, I have plenty of time! It's okay! Ah!" However, Kogoro Mouri seemed not to hear her and had no intention of stopping. Instead, he moved closer and closer, pressing the woman step by step, scaring her so much that she retreated again and again.

At this moment, the dog, who was originally being teased by the three little guys, realized that his master seemed to be threatened and instantly became alert. Eager to protect his master, he opened his mouth without thinking and bit Maori Kogoro fiercely.

"Ah!" Kogoro Mouri was frightened by the dog that suddenly rushed towards him. He turned around and ran for his life towards the distance.

"Uncle!" Yuan Tai couldn't help but shout when he saw this.

"Pu Zai!" The woman put her hands on her hips and called to her dog.

Not far away, Mao Lilan looked helpless, raised her right hand to cover her eyes, unable to bear to see her father in such a miserable state. Conan's mouth twitched slightly, his eyes turned into half-moons, and he muttered softly: "It's really hard to change one's nature!"

The dog was still chasing him, and Maori Kogoro looked back as he ran. In his panic, he was tripped by a stone on the side of the road and fell forward. People around him looked at him strangely, and Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko were also stunned by this sudden change.

Maori Kogoro got up from the ground in a panic, patted the dust off his body, and put on an awkward smile on his face, trying to save some face. But the dog still refused to give in and barked at him. Seeing this, the woman hurried forward to pull the dog leash and said to Maori Kogoro: "Sir, I'm really sorry, my dog ​​is usually very docile, maybe he misunderstood you."

Maori Kogoro scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing what to say. At this moment, the broadcast in the park suddenly sounded: "Attention, all visitors, the fountain area of ​​the park is about to start a performance. Please go and watch it."

Ayumi's eyes lit up, and she pulled Yuanta and the others and said, "Let's go see the fountain show!" The three little guys instantly forgot what had just happened and ran towards the fountain area cheering.

Ran Mouri and Conan also followed. Kogoro Mouri seized the opportunity and followed them dejectedly, trying to stay away from this embarrassing "farce".

When we arrived at the fountain area, there were already many tourists gathered here. The colorful water columns danced up and down to the rhythm of the music, changing into various wonderful shapes, attracting bursts of amazement from the crowd.

Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko stood excitedly in the front row, staring at the fountain without blinking.

Maori Kogoro also pretended to look at the fountain intently, occasionally joining the crowd in exclaiming in admiration, trying to cover up his embarrassment. But he didn't know that his face was still stained with grass debris from the fall, and he looked very funny.

Conan couldn't help laughing when he saw Maori Kogoro's expression, and whispered to Maori Ran: "Sister Xiaolan, look at uncle's face." Maori Ran looked in the direction Conan pointed, and couldn't help laughing. She walked to Maori Kogoro, gently helped him remove the grass debris on his face, and said: "Dad, you, can't you be more stable?"

Kogoro Maori smiled awkwardly and was about to say something when the fountain show reached its climax and the crowd broke into warm applause and cheers, drowning out his words.

After the fountain show ended, the crowd gradually dispersed, but Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko were still immersed in the joy they had just experienced, chattering away.

"It was so beautiful when the fountain turned into a heart shape!" Ayumi danced excitedly.

"And, that huge column of water rising into the sky at the end is so spectacular!" Mitsuhiko also echoed.

Yuan Tai touched his round belly and said with satisfaction: "It would be even better if I could eat eel rice while watching the fountain."

At this time, Maori Kogoro suddenly slapped his head and said mysteriously: "Children, I know there is a great dessert shop nearby. The cakes and ice cream there are so delicious. Do you want to try them?"

"Wow, great, great!" When the three little guys heard that there would be dessert, their eyes lit up instantly and they cheered.

So, the group walked towards the dessert shop that Maori Kogoro mentioned. Along the way, Maori Kogoro was still talking about the signature food of the dessert shop, and Ayumi and the others were almost drooling when they heard it.

But when they arrived at the dessert shop, they found the door closed and a notice saying "Closed Today" was posted on the door.

"Ah? How could this happen!" Yuan Tai's face was full of disappointment and he almost cried.

"Uncle, did you remember it wrong?" Mitsuhiko looked at Kogoro Mori in confusion.

Maori Kogoro scratched his head awkwardly and stammered, "Uh... maybe I remembered the time wrong, how about we find something else delicious?"

Just as everyone was discussing where to go next, a quarrel suddenly broke out not far away. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound out of curiosity, and saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses and an uncle wearing an apron arguing fiercely about something.

"You're obviously looking for trouble on purpose! I've been selling snacks around here for so many years and there's never been a problem!" The uncle in the apron was so angry that his face turned red.

"Hmph, I ate your food and had diarrhea and vomiting when I got home. You must give me an explanation today!" The man with glasses was not to be outdone and crossed his arms over his chest.

Maori Kogoro was immediately alerted when he saw this. He strode over, put on a detective's posture, and said, "You two, stop arguing. Let me, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, help you solve the problem!"

Conan shook his head helplessly and whispered to Mao Lilan: "Sister Xiaolan, uncle is about to start again."

Mao Lilan smiled bitterly and nodded: "I can't help it, Dad is just like this."

Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko also gathered around and looked at Kogoro Mori with anticipation, as if he could really solve all the problems immediately.

Maori Kogoro first walked around the snack stand of the apron uncle, and then asked the man with glasses seriously: "What did you eat that made you feel uncomfortable?"

"I ate his grilled sausages and his octopus balls." The man with glasses pointed to the food on the snack stand.

Maori Kogoro picked up a grilled sausage, looked at it carefully, smelled it, and then said, "Well... from the appearance and smell, there is nothing wrong with this grilled sausage. When you ate it, did you feel that the taste was wrong?"

The man with glasses frowned and thought for a moment: "The taste... seems a bit strange, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time."

At this time, Conan quietly walked to the back of the snack stand and found a bottle of seasoning in the corner with the lid loose. The liquid inside seemed a little turbid. He picked up the bottle of seasoning, smelled it, and said to Maori Kogoro: "Uncle, look at this."

Maori Kogoro took the seasoning bottle and sniffed it, his expression changed slightly: "This... this seems to have gone bad."

The apron-wearing man took one look and hurriedly explained, "This bottle of seasoning was left over from yesterday. I was planning to throw it away today, but it might have been accidentally mixed with other seasonings. I really didn't mean to do that."

The man with glasses listened and his expression eased a little: "So that's how it is. You better be more careful next time."

The apron-wearing uncle nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention to it. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble. How about this, I'll make you another snack and give you a drink as an apology."

The man with glasses thought about it and finally agreed. The storm was thus settled.

After resolving the dispute, Maori Kogoro said to everyone proudly: "Well, with a famous detective like me here, any problem can be solved!"

Ayumi and the others applauded and praised, "Uncle Maori is awesome!"

Conan looked at Maori Kogoro's smug look and smiled helplessly, thinking in his heart: "If I hadn't found that bottle of seasoning, I don't know how my uncle would have ended up."

Just as everyone was about to leave, the man in the apron suddenly stopped them and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, to thank you for helping me solve the problem, I'll treat you to some snacks. Take whatever you like!"

"Wow, that's great!" Yuan Tai jumped for joy when he heard it.

So, everyone gathered around the snack stalls and chose their favorite food.

Ayumi chose a cute strawberry ice cream, Genta held a large plate of octopus balls and ate them with relish, Mitsuhiko ordered a grilled chicken wing, Kogoro Mouri ordered a specially made extra-large hamburger, and Mouri Ran and Conan also chose their favorite food.

Everyone sat on the benches nearby, enjoying the food and sharing today's fun events, with laughter echoing in the park.

This originally somewhat troubled day became particularly wonderful because of this unexpected delicacy...
