Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 583 You are such a clever little ghost! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"Hey, hey, hey! Xiaolan, you can't do this!"

When Kogoro Maori heard this, he immediately panicked and his voice unconsciously rose a few notes.

If my pocket money is cut, I won't be able to smoke or drink to my heart's content in the future. What's the point of living then?
Thinking of this, he waved his hands vigorously, trying to make Mao Lilan change her mind and save his precarious "good" life.

But Mao Lilan was not moved at all. She clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, turned her head away angrily, and pouted her little mouth so high that a bottle of oil could be hung firmly on it. "Humph, who told you not to take us to the class reunion? This is your punishment!"

When Kogoro Mori heard this, the expression on his face froze instantly, as if he had been cast under a spell.

If he agreed and took his daughter and Conan to the party, his wallet would definitely bleed heavily.

What's worse is that with his daughter, the "housekeeper", watching him all the time, even if he meets a beautiful woman with a thousand looks and graceful figures at a class reunion, he can only look on in fear, burying those charming thoughts deep in his heart, without any chance to get close to her or strike up a conversation with her.

But if he doesn't agree, then in the future his pocket money will probably be deducted until only a pitiful amount is left.

In this way, the days to come will probably be like dishes without salt, bland and tasteless, without any fun or hope.

For a moment, his heart was caught in an extremely fierce struggle between himself and himself.

Just when Maori Kogoro was struggling with the two choices, Maori Ran seemed to sense her father's inner hesitation. She rolled her eyes, coughed lightly and said, "But, Dad, if you agree to take us there, I can consider not reducing your pocket money."

When Kogoro Mouri heard this, a light flashed in his eyes for a moment. He opened his mouth subconsciously and was about to blurt out the words of agreement, but at that moment, reason made him swallow the words back.

It’s not that he wasn’t tempted by the condition proposed by Mao Lilan.

This condition concerns the "life and death" of his future life of smoking and drinking, so how could he not be tempted?

But he knew his eccentric daughter too well. Based on his understanding of his daughter, the other party would definitely not let him go so easily. Maybe there were other more "tricky" conditions waiting for him.

Moreover, if he agreed to it so easily on the spur of the moment, and his daughter caught him and held him hostage, he would suffer a great loss, and his life would be even more difficult in the future.

Thinking of this, his originally stiff face quickly formed a flattering smile, which was a bit flattering and cautious. Then, he leaned forward slightly and asked tentatively: "Xiao Lan, are you serious? This is the only condition, are you sure there is nothing else?"

Mao Lilan rolled her eyes at her father, her eyes full of disdain for her father's cautiousness, and said unhappily, "Dad, why are you so nagging? If you don't agree, I will just cut your pocket money."

As she spoke, she deliberately took out her cell phone from her pocket, pretending to cut her father's pocket money.

Maori Kogoro's heart suddenly shrank when he saw this, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and compromised: "Okay, okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, can't I take you there? But let's make a deal, this is really the last time, it won't happen again!"

Perhaps, if he agrees to take his daughter and some little kid to attend his class reunion, his wallet will suffer a "bad blow" and bleed a lot.

But if you don't agree, your pocket money will be withheld in the future. At that time, smoking and drinking will become a luxury. That is the real "hell on earth".

He could still tell which was more important, the temporary physical pain or the long-term "pain" in the future, and which one he should choose.

"Also, you two must be obedient when the time comes. Don't cause me any trouble, and don't run around! Got it?"

When Mao Lilan saw that her father finally gave in, a bright smile instantly blossomed on her face. That smile was as bright and moving as a flower blooming in spring. "Don't worry, Dad! I promise that Conan and I will be obedient and won't cause you any trouble."

As she spoke, she turned her head impatiently to look at Conan beside her, her eyes sparkling, and she playfully stretched out her right hand, making a "V" sign for victory, and said excitedly: "Conan, did you hear that? We can go to the class reunion!"

Conan pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, a barely perceptible light flashed across the lens, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he responded softly: "Yeah, Sister Xiaolan, I heard it!"

"That's great!" Mao Lilan clapped her hands excitedly, and then as if she remembered something, she turned around with a sweet smile on her face, staring at Mao Li Kogoro. Her smiling look was just like a cunning little fox. "By the way, Dad, since you agreed, should we discuss the specific details? For example, what clothes to wear, what gifts to bring, and..."

When Maori Kogoro heard this, his nerves that had relaxed suddenly tensed up again, and he felt a headache. He quickly waved his hand and interrupted, "Wait, wait, Xiaolan, I don't need to worry about these trivial matters, right? Just make your own decisions, I'm only responsible for taking you there."

Mao Lilan blinked her big watery eyes, a hint of mischief flashed in her eyes, and she deliberately put on an innocent look and said in a soft voice: "But Dad, didn't you always tell us to be obedient? Then of course we have to listen to your arrangements!"

Kogoro Mori was suddenly speechless. He opened his mouth slightly but couldn't utter a word.

Although he said this in a clever way, Kogoro Mori knew in his heart that his daughter was setting a trap for him.

He secretly groaned in his heart, knowing that his precious daughter was not so easy to get rid of. If he had known earlier, he should not have agreed so easily.

Well, it seems that for this class reunion, as an old father, not only will his wallet bleed heavily, but he will also have to rack his brains and spend a lot of effort to deal with this eccentric little ancestor at home.

Oh, by the way, you also have to always be on guard against some naughty kids who can run away like a loach if you’re not paying attention.

Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly, forced a bitter smile on his face, and said, "Okay, okay, then let's sit down and discuss it together. But I'll be frank with you both. You two have to promise me that you must follow my arrangements when the time comes and not act recklessly."

Mao Lilan and Conan looked at each other and responded in unison: "Don't worry, Dad (Uncle)!"

The two of them answered so crisply and clearly, with very well-behaved smiles on their faces, just like two obedient little angels.

However, looking at the two of them who were a little too well-behaved, Kogoro Mouri sighed helplessly again.

Because, he didn't know if it was his illusion, but deep in his heart he had a vague sense of foreboding.

He always felt that this class reunion might not be as peaceful as he imagined...

However, before he could figure out where this ominous feeling in his heart came from, a sharp scream suddenly pierced the sky, instantly breaking the originally calm atmosphere.

"Robbers! Someone is robbing a bank!" When Kogoro Mouri heard this, his body shook violently and he subconsciously turned around to look.

They saw a man in a grey shirt and brown trousers, holding a package tightly in one hand and a gun in the other, running past them in a panic.

Not far behind the man, a bank clerk was chasing him desperately with an anxious look on his face, shouting from time to time: "Stop him! Catch this robber!", trying to get help from people around him.

With just this quick glance, Kogoro Mouri, relying on the keen intuition and accurate judgment acquired from his past as a policeman, instantly concluded that the man in gray was undoubtedly the robber who committed the bank robbery.

"Damn it! Stop! Don't even think about running away!"

After realizing this, Kogoro Mori's eyes instantly widened into bells, with anger burning in his eyes.

As a former policeman, the principles of justice engraved deep in his soul would never allow him to turn a blind eye to evil deeds committed in broad daylight.

At this moment, this sense of justice was aroused to its peak.

Immediately, without thinking, he rushed in the direction the robbers fled.

At this moment, he had only one idea, which was to catch this evil man, bring him to justice, and let justice be served.

Conan also reacted very quickly and followed Kogoro Mouri without thinking.

As a detective determined to pursue justice, how could he miss this great opportunity to stand up and uphold justice?

"Wait a minute!"

Mao Lilan was extremely anxious and quickly stretched out her hand to try to stop the two men.

But Kogoro Mouri and Conan were too fast, like two bullets fired from a gun, they disappeared from her sight in the blink of an eye, leaving only a trace of their afterimages.

In desperation, Mao Lilan could only stomp her feet hard and hurriedly chase after him with an anxious look on her face.

"Stop right there! I'll see where you can escape to!"

While running at full speed, Kogoro Mori roared at the top of his lungs, his voice full of unquestionable majesty, trying to scare the fleeing robber and make him stop.

Under the relentless pursuit of Kogoro Mouri and Conan, the robber panicked and rushed around in the streets and alleys like a headless fly. After turning seven or eight times, he finally ended up in a dead end.

Looking at the cold and towering wall in front of him, the gray-clothed robber's face instantly showed annoyance. He then realized that he had lost his way due to panic and foolishly escaped to a dead end.

Just as he was about to turn around and try to find an escape route in another direction, he saw Kogoro Mouri and Conan appear at the entrance of the alley.

Seeing this, the gray-clothed robber's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression instantly twisted, panicking to the extreme. He raised his hand hastily, trembling, and pointed the gun in his hand at the two people, with extreme fear and madness intertwined on his face: "Damn it, don't come over, or I'll shoot!"

Maori Kogoro's expression froze, and he quickly stood in front of Conan, lowering his voice so that only Conan could hear him and saying, "Conan, hide behind me and don't act rashly. This guy has been forced into a desperate situation. He will do anything crazy when he is desperate."

"Yes, I understand, uncle."

Conan hid behind Kogoro Mouri, his brain working rapidly and his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, trying to find items that could help them resolve the crisis.

After arranging Conan, Maori Kogoro slowly approached the robber while trying to calm him down, keeping his voice as steady as possible: "Sir, please calm down. You have nowhere to escape. If you put down your gun now, you can still get a lighter sentence."

However, the gray-clad robber was not moved by Maori Kogoro's words at all. Instead, his expression became more ferocious, as if he was a demon crawling out of hell. The gun in his hand was shaking more and more violently, as if it would go off at any time: "Stop talking nonsense, if you come any closer I will really shoot! No one can stop me from escaping here today!"

Seeing the crazy and ferocious look of the gray-clothed robber, Kogoro Maori's pupils suddenly shrank, and he thought to himself that he must subdue the robber before he shoots, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

So he exerted force on his feet and rushed forward like a cheetah pouncing on its prey.

"do not come!"

Realizing that Maori Kogoro did not stop but instead rushed towards him faster, the gray-clothed robber panicked instantly and was completely confused. In extreme panic and fear, he subconsciously moved his finger and was about to pull the trigger, trying to use the bullet to stop Maori Kogoro from approaching.

"Otherwise I won't be polite!"

When Conan saw the gray-clothed robber was so desperate that he was about to shoot Kogoro Mouri, he thought to himself, "Oh no!"

Without having time to think, he quickly adjusted the foot-strengthening shoes on his feet. Then, without hesitation, he used the powerful force of the foot-strengthening shoes to kick hard at a nearby brick.

"Whoosh..."

Under the powerful force, the brick flew straight towards the wrist of the gray-clothed robber like a cannonball, with a whistling sound. The speed was so fast that people could hardly blink.

The gray-clothed robber felt a sharp pain in his wrist and his hand loosened uncontrollably. The next second, the pistol that was tightly held in his hand fell heavily to the ground with a clang.

Maori Kogoro took advantage of this perfect opportunity and rushed to the criminal. Then he turned flexibly and used a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw to smash the gray-clothed robber heavily to the ground.

"boom……"

Under such a fierce attack, the robber in gray rolled his eyes and fainted instantly...
