Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 593 He is just a child! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"What? Sneaking off to the women's pool?"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro's expression instantly became extremely gloomy, as if a storm was about to come, and the blue veins on his forehead were faintly bulging, "Conan, how dare you lie to me? And you kid, you even wanted to peek at Xiaolan bathing?"

No wonder the kid was fine and about to reach the hot spring, but suddenly he wanted to go to the toilet, and once he went he disappeared like a stone, not being seen for a long time.

After all this time, it turns out that he had such a bad idea!
Humph, if I don’t teach this lustful brat a lesson today and let him know why the flowers are so red, then he won’t be called Mouri Kogoro!
Maori Kogoro pointed at Conan, his fingers trembling slightly with anger, the anger on his face was like a raging volcano, it felt like everything around him could be burned to ashes in the next second, "How dare you do such a thing? You are simply lawless! I will teach you a lesson today!"

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up from the hot spring pool, splashing a lot of water, rolled up his sleeves, clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, and rushed towards Conan with a fierce momentum, ready to teach this ignorant brat a lesson. That posture seemed to be eager to tear this little pervert who tried to peek at his daughter bathing into pieces immediately.

Seeing Maori Kogoro's ferocious look as if he wanted to eat him alive, Conan was so scared that his face turned pale as paper, his legs became weak uncontrollably, and he stepped back repeatedly, stammering to explain: "Uncle Maori, it's really...it's really not what you think! I...I'm just worried that Xiaolan will be in danger alone in an unfamiliar environment. I really don't have any other messy thoughts."

"Danger? What kind of danger could there be here!"

Maori Kogoro sneered in a series of laughters, which were full of ridicule and disdain, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. "Besides, no matter how dangerous it is, it can be more dangerous than a little pervert with a head full of dirty ideas like you! Don't try to get away with it with flowery words here!"

After saying that, Kogoro Mouri suddenly stepped out of the hot spring pool and approached Conan with big strides. Every step seemed to step on Conan's heart, scaring Conan so much that he stepped back again and again until his back was against the wall and he had nowhere to retreat.

"Uncle, please listen to my explanation! I really didn't..." Conan's voice trembled as he tried to make a final struggle.

"Explain? Explain what!"

Maori Kogoro roared, his voice making Conan's eardrums hurt, "You little brat, you usually pretend to be innocent, but I didn't expect you to have the guts to hit on Xiaolan behind her back! Today I will teach you a lesson! Let's see if you dare to have such evil thoughts in the future!"

Before he could finish his words, Kogoro Mouri had already grabbed Conan by the collar and lifted him up like a chicken.

Conan's feet were off the ground, hanging in the air, waving his hands and feet in panic, struggling desperately, but he was completely unable to break free from Mouri Kogoro's iron-like hands.

"Uncle, I'm really just worried about Sister Xiaolan's safety!"

Conan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and across his pale cheeks. His voice was a little tearful, "You have to believe me!"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Kogoro Mouri snorted coldly, and raised his other hand high, drawing a sharp arc in the air, bringing up a whistling sound of wind, and filled with his anger, he slapped Conan hard on the butt.

"He's so naughty at such a young age. He's not a good person at first glance! What will he be like when he grows up?"

Maori Kogoro slapped her again and again while muttering angrily, every word seemed to jump out from between his teeth, "It seems that from now on, I need to keep an eye on you all the time, so that Xiaolan won't be accidentally taken advantage of by a pervert like you!"

"Clap clap clap..."

The loud slapping sound echoed in the steamy hot spring room, and each slap made Conan tremble violently in pain, and his body instinctively curled up. Tears were swirling in his eyes, blurring his vision, and the big tears could roll down at any time.

Just when Conan felt that his butt was going to be beaten to pieces today, Bai Ye at the side seemed to be a little reluctant and stood up to help smooth things over. "Uncle Maori, please let Conan go first. He is just a child and may just be playing around. There is no need to be so harsh."

Just when Conan felt that his butt was definitely going to be beaten to pieces today and was filled with despair, Bai Ye at the side seemed to be a little reluctant and stepped forward with a concerned look on his face to help smooth things over: "Uncle Maori, please let Conan go first. He is just a child. Children may just be playful for a moment and don't think too much. There is no need to teach him a lesson so harshly."

Maori Kogoro's movements suddenly paused, and his raised hand froze in mid-air. He turned his head to look at Bai Ye, and the anger on his face subsided a little, but his eyes were still as sharp as two knives. However, the strength in his hands did not relax at all: "Playful? Do you think that he can be explained as playful? This kid clearly has evil intentions and is full of bad thoughts!"

Maori Kogoro was so angry that his face turned red, his mustache stood up in anger, and he looked like a rooster with its feathers standing on end, emitting a violent aura all over his body. "Bai Ye, don't be fooled by his seemingly innocent and pitiful appearance! He is so lustful and bold now that he dares to peek into the women's pool. Who knows how much trouble he will cause when he grows up. If we don't seize the time to teach him a lesson now, he might do even more outrageous and outrageous things in the future!"

Bai Ye frowned slightly, his face showing his usual gentle and sincere expression, which made people involuntarily trust him.

Just as he was about to speak, Conan at the side seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He took advantage of this rare opportunity and explained anxiously with a crying voice: "Uncle, I am really just worried about Sister Xiaolan. I don't have any other bad intentions. Brother Bai Ye must have misunderstood me just now. I feel the same way about Sister Xiaolan as if she were my own sister. How could I have such bad thoughts?"

"Misunderstand?"

Maori Kogoro snorted again, his face full of distrust, his voice full of suspicion and disdain, "Humph, you said you were worried about Xiaolan? Then why didn't you just say it openly? Why did you sneak off to the women's pool? Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid who can be fooled so easily?"

In Kogoro Mouri's opinion, it was obvious that Conan, the little pervert, had dirty thoughts and did such an immoral thing.

It would have been fine if the other party didn't admit his mistake, but he actually dared to make all kinds of excuses here. This is simply intolerable.

Thinking of this, the anger in his heart began to rise again, making him even more irritable. Noticing that Maori Kogoro's eyes were particularly unfriendly, as if he might give him another round of "Iron Fist of Love" at any time, Conan's body stiffened, his eyes were red with anxiety, tears rolled in his eyes, his voice trembled slightly because of anxiety and grievance, and he said: "Uncle, I originally wanted to go to the medicinal bath with you, but my stomach suddenly hurt so much that I wanted to go to the toilet. On the way back, I lost my way and walked to the ordinary hot spring pool. I thought that Xiaolan was alone in there, and if there were bad guys, I wanted to confirm it. I really didn't have any other ideas."

After listening to Conan's explanation, Kogoro Mouri looked at his pitiful and tearful appearance, his brows were tightly twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and his face had a very conflicted expression, as if he was thinking about whether Conan's words were credible.

Bai Ye saw it, raised his eyebrows calmly, and added: "Uncle Maori, Conan is just a child after all. When children reach the age of four or five, they begin to be interested in the opposite sex. It is understandable that they do such rash things on impulse. Besides, you see, he has already admitted his mistake, so why not give him a chance."

It is enough to teach that little kid a lesson. If Kogoro Mouri teaches him a lesson too harshly, Conan will hold a grudge against him in the future, and it will be difficult to end up like this.

After all, no matter what, Conan is his girlfriend's childhood sweetheart, so he still has to give face to Xiaolan.

Moreover, as the protagonists of the "Detective Conan" world, there is no need to make the relationship too awkward when they may need each other in the future!

Maori Kogoro frowned slightly after hearing Bai Ye's words, and seemed a little shaken. He looked at Conan's tear-stained face, and then looked at Bai Ye's sincere expression, and the anger in his heart subsided a little.

"Humph, I'll let you go for Bai Ye's sake this time."

Maori Kogoro was silent for a moment, and finally loosened his hand that was grabbing Conan's collar, but his tone was still stern, and there was a hint of warning in his eyes, as if he was about to explode again in the next second, "But, if I find you doing anything improper again in the future, don't blame me for being rude!"

"When the time comes, no matter what your reasons are, I will make sure you know the consequences of deceiving me!"

Conan nodded hurriedly as if he had been granted amnesty. He quickly wiped the tears that were about to fall from the corners of his eyes with his hands, nodded rapidly, and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I won't dare to do it again!"

After experiencing this incident, Conan secretly swore in his heart that he must be more cautious in the future and never let such an embarrassing and thrilling thing happen again.

After all, this guy Kogoro Mouri is very ruthless when it comes to hitting people. He shows no mercy with his fists, and it really hurts when they hit the body. When Conan recalled the feeling of being hit by that fist, he couldn't help but shiver. He didn't want to experience it a second time.

Thinking of the beating he had just received, Conan glanced quietly at Bai Ye beside him without making any sound. A trace of imperceptible hatred flashed in the depths of his eyes. Obviously, he was deeply resentful of Bai Ye's "complaint" behavior just now.

After all, if Bai Ye hadn't been so talkative, he wouldn't have been taught a lesson by Maori Kogoro.

Bai Ye stood aside, looking at Conan's frightened and terrified appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle, and lowered his voice to tease: "Conan, don't run around in the women's pool again, otherwise no one will be able to save you next time."

Conan pulled out an awkward but polite smile. Because Maori Kogoro was right beside him and still angry, he could only nod and said, "I see, Brother Bai Ye. Thank you for what you did today."

Although he thanked Bai Ye politely, he felt more and more depressed in his heart, as if he was being weighed down by a huge rock.

What kind of world is this? I suffered such an unexpected disaster because of Bai Ye's "complaint". In the end, not only did I have to look at his face to escape, but I also had to bow my head and thank him humbly. Where is justice!

At this moment, Conan felt full of grievance and unwillingness, but he had nowhere to vent and could only grit his teeth.

Maori Kogoro looked at Conan deeply, as if he could see through his thoughts. Then he turned to Bai Ye and said, "Don't worry, Bai Ye, I will keep a close eye on him in the future and will never let such a bad thing happen again!"

At this point, he paused for a moment, and cast his icy cold eyes at Conan again, his expression serious and almost cruel, "Conan, you little brat, if you dare to do something this immoral again, don't blame me for being rude and calling your parents to ask you to go back to your own home! My Maori family really can't tolerate a big Buddha like you!"

If Conan dares to cause similar trouble again in the future, he will definitely call the other party's parents without hesitation and kick this little troublemaker out of the Maori Detective Agency.

After all, how could he tolerate such a restless little "lecher" living in his home?

If this gets out, won't others laugh their heads off and treat Kogoro Mori as a joke?

More importantly, Xiaolan is his treasure, and he will never let this little pervert do something ridiculous that would ruin the reputation of his precious daughter and make it difficult for her to find a husband in the future.

As for Conan, he is just a child. Even if he really had thoughts that he shouldn't have, he doesn't have the ability to do so given his current age. So, there is no need for him to blame and teach him a lesson today?

Oh, precisely because the other party is just a child, he must be strictly disciplined from an early age.

Because, as the saying goes, if a child steals needles when he is young, he will steal gold when he grows up. If he is not strictly disciplined when he is young, he will become lawless when he grows up and do even more outrageous things, right?

Conan listened to Maori Kogoro's harsh words and opened his mouth. His throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't say a word. He was full of regrets. He regretted that he was so careless and got caught. He was also full of resentment towards Bai Ye. If it weren't for this guy's talkativeness, how could he end up in this situation? But now, he could only suppress all these emotions in his heart, and forced a smile on his face that was uglier than crying, awkward and flattering, and stammered: "Uncle, I... I know I was wrong."
