Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 637: A dog who licks you will not die well! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Hearing the compliment from Officer Megure, Matsumoto Yuriko raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a perfect smile, and responded politely and appropriately: "Officer Megure, thank you for the compliment. I am really grateful that you can take time out of your busy schedule to attend my wedding."

The sunlight filtered through the stained glass, casting colorful shadows on her, giving her delicate profile a dreamy halo.

"No, no, it's my great honor to be invited to your wedding, Miss Matsumoto!"

Inspector Megure had his signature kind smile on his face, but there was a hint of imperceptible flattery in that smile.

Conan witnessed Inspector Megure's series of performances from the side, and couldn't help but curl his lips secretly, muttering quietly: "Tsk tsk, I never thought that Inspector Megure, who is usually serious and responsible, would have such a side. This really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the sea by a bucket!"

Although he knew very well in his heart that the reason why Inspector Megure was so flattering to Yuriko Matsumoto was entirely because of the helplessness of a workplace worker and the typical corporate mentality.

There is no way, because Matsumoto Yuriko is not an ordinary girl, but the daughter of the other party's boss.

Although he and her are not in the same work system, if he offends her by mistake, the consequences will probably not be much better than offending his boss himself. Who knows, the outcome may be even worse.

After all, it is said that a daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket. If this little cotton-padded jacket blows in the father's ear, it can sometimes be more effective than the pillow talk.

However, having said that, as the "personal assistant" that Inspector Megure often relies on in cases, seeing the usually majestic Inspector Megure looking like a "dog licker" at this moment, the feeling in my heart is so subtle that it is hard to describe, just like eating a strange-tasting bean, with mixed feelings.

Suzuki Sonoko almost couldn't help laughing when she heard his words. She quickly lowered her head and pretended to adjust her skirt to try to hide her expression. Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough, and Inspector Megure was immersed in social greetings and didn't notice the little movements of her and Conan.

"By the way, Officer Megure..."

Ran Mao Li seemed to have thought of something and suddenly interrupted the conversation between Inspector Megure and Yuriko Matsumoto. There was a hint of doubt in her voice, but she was cautious, afraid that she had guessed wrong. "You just said that your boss's daughter is getting married? The boss you are talking about is..."

Considering what Inspector Megure had just said about attending the wedding of his boss's daughter, and then thinking of the other party's respectful attitude towards the vicious man and Matsumoto Yuriko, for some reason, she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Could it be...

"Formal introduction!"

Hearing this, before Officer Megure could answer, Matsumoto Yuriko walked lightly to the side of the fierce-looking man, and naturally put her slender arm around the other's muscular arm. This action made the man stiffen for a moment, and a suspicious blush appeared on his bronze face.

She extended her hand and took the initiative to introduce the identity of the fierce-looking man who broke into the room. There was a bit of helplessness in her tone, as if she was already accustomed to this topic. "This Chief Matsumoto of the Metropolitan Police Department is my father."

“Is this your father?!”

As soon as these words came out, Suzuki Sonoko's voice suddenly rose octaves, and she was completely stunned. The expression on her face was as if she had been struck by lightning, and she almost lost her grip on the drink in her hand and dropped it to the ground.

Her mind was blank, and she was completely unable to connect the fierce-looking man in front of her with the word "father" of her teacher.

Mao Lilan was petrified, and even her breathing stopped for a few seconds. Her eyes were wide open and full of disbelief, as if she had witnessed Godzilla dancing Swan Lake.

That ferocious-looking man turned out to be Yuriko Matsumoto's father?
This is incredible!

"Ahem!"

The fierce-looking man cleared his throat awkwardly and scratched the back of his head with his thick fingers uncomfortably. The hideous scar on his left cheek became even more terrifying as his expression twisted, like a winding centipede.

When he tried to show a kind smile and greet Suzuki Sonoko and others, his sharp white teeth were even more chilling. Suzuki Sonoko unconsciously took half a step back, as if ready to run away at any time.

"..."

The ferocious man was even more embarrassed by Suzuki Sonoko's reaction, and his thick neck turned purple. He nervously adjusted his tie, but used too much force and directly deformed the bow tie. This action made his well-developed biceps push the suit into a dangerous arc, as if it would burst out of the clothes in the next second.

For a moment, the whole room fell into an eerie silence.

Conan stood aside, his mouth twitching. He looked at the father and daughter, and sighed in his heart: the daughter was like an exquisite porcelain doll, while the father looked like a thug from a gangster movie. This strong contrast was even more awkward than seeing Maori Kogoro dancing ballet!
"Well, I look a little fierce... but Yuriko is indeed my daughter..."

The ferocious-looking man coughed lightly, scratched his head awkwardly, and his tone was somewhat helpless.

After all, he also knew that his rough appearance was in stark contrast to his daughter's beauty and gentleness.

In fact, not to mention Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, even his subordinates felt like they were dreaming and couldn't believe it every time they saw that he had such a beautiful daughter.

Suzuki Sonoko laughed dryly, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly, "Hehe..."

This is more than just “a bit fierce”!

If she didn't know that the other party was Matsumoto Yuriko's father and also the boss of Inspector Megure and others, he was unlikely to be a bad guy. Just based on his ferocious and terrifying appearance, she almost thought it was some vicious serial killer who escaped from prison and accidentally broke into the wedding!
As she spoke, Suzuki Sonoko seemed to suddenly remember something. She dodged his gaze and spoke with a guilty tone. She looked at Bai Ye beside her with some entanglement: "Um... Bai Ye... did I just say that Mr. Matsumoto's father looks like a gorilla? It's over, it's over, I'm in trouble now..."

Suzuki Sonoko was full of regret and wanted to cry but had no tears. She thought that she might have really offended someone this time. Matsumoto Yuriko's father might even hold a grudge against her and she would be on the "list" of the Metropolitan Police Department from then on.

Bai Ye sighed slightly and nodded helplessly: "It seems...I did say that."

His girlfriend was always carefree, and this time, she had fallen into a big setback. However, he was not too worried about the possible "end" she might face.

After all, not to mention that Matsumoto Kiyonaga holds a high position in the Metropolitan Police Department, Suzuki Sonoko is the second daughter of the wealthy Suzuki Group, and her status should not be underestimated.

For example, Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran are both students of Matsumoto Yuriko. As an old father who loves his daughter, if Matsumoto Kiyonaga deliberately makes things difficult for his daughter's students, it will easily cause unpleasantness with his daughter, and it will always be embarrassing if the news gets out.

Not to mention, it’s at Yuriko Matsumoto’s wedding ceremony.

In such a festive occasion, even if Matsumoto Kiyonaga was really dissatisfied with the offense of Mori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, it was impossible for him to lose his temper and embarrass Mori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko at this time.

As soon as these words came out, Suzuki Sonoko was like a deflated ball, her whole body wilted, her voice full of annoyance: "I regret it so much now, I should have controlled my mouth earlier!"

She seemed to have seen her miserable future of being blacklisted by the Metropolitan Police Department and being given "special care" by the police whenever she went out, and she couldn't help but shudder.

Mao Lilan pursed her pink lips and raised her hand weakly, "Um... I was wrong just now too..."

Her best friend said that Yuriko Matsumoto's father, Kiyoshi Matsumoto, looks like a gorilla. It is true that such behavior is very rude.

She wasn't much better.

After all, she had just treated Matsumoto Yuriko's father as a gangster. In fact, if Inspector Megure and others had not appeared, she might have rushed up and used her pink fists to teach this guy who didn't look like a good guy a lesson.

Seeing the two girls' annoyed looks, Bai Ye couldn't help but chuckle. Then he raised his hand and gently patted Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan on the shoulders, with a bit of pampering in his tone: "Sonoko, Xiaolan, don't worry. Chief Matsumoto looks like a reasonable person. I think as long as you apologize to him and express your apology sincerely, he should forgive you."

Hearing this, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other, and hope was rekindled in their eyes. Then they both bowed deeply and apologized with apologetic faces: "We are so sorry, we didn't mean it, it was so rude!"

Matsumoto Yuriko looked at the fearful and guilty expressions of Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She waved her hands and said in a relaxed tone: "Haha... You don't have to blame yourselves so much. My father is indeed... well, how should I put it, a little scary. You are not the first one to think so."

Her tone was relaxed, as if she was accustomed to this kind of "misunderstanding".

"But don't be fooled by the fact that my father looks a bit fierce, he is actually very kind-hearted. If you get to know him more in the future, you will find that he is actually a very gentle person."

Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard her words. Although she was still a little embarrassed, at least Matsumoto Yuriko was not angry about it, which made her feel that she had "escaped a disaster."

However, she couldn't help but muttered softly: "But this is too scary..."

Mao Lilan heard her mumbling and gently touched her arm, signaling her to stop talking.

Suzuki Sonoko stuck out her tongue and quickly shut up. But she secretly swore in her heart that next time she met someone like Matsumoto Yuriko's father, she must try her best to stay calm and never make such a low-level mistake again.

Officer Megure looked at this scene and couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. He sighed and said, "Chief Matsumoto's appearance is indeed easy to cause misunderstandings..."

Not to mention outsiders like Mori Ran, even he, a subordinate who had worked under Matsumoto Kiyonaga for a long time, sometimes felt an inexplicable urge to put his boss in jail when he suddenly saw him.

Even some police officers who had just joined the job and were inexperienced would feel their legs go weak uncontrollably as if they were being suppressed by an invisible force when they saw the majestic face of Matsumoto Kiyonaga for the first time.

"no way……"

Matsumoto Yuriko shrugged helplessly, with a hint of ridicule in her tone, "I can only blame my father. He always likes to have a stern face, as if the whole world owes him money."

After a pause, she couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "He looks a bit fierce, and he has a serious expression all day long. Who wouldn't be scared when seeing him..."

After that, she playfully reached out and gently poked her father's taut biceps, and said with a teasing smile: "Look at the muscle lines. It would be a great loss to the film and television industry if he doesn't play tough roles in gangster movies."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga listened to his daughter's teasing, and a rare faint smile appeared on his originally serious face. That smile was like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, instantly melting the slightly awkward atmosphere around them.

He patted Matsumoto Yuriko's head gently and said helplessly: "Girl, you only know how to make fun of your dad."

Then, he turned his gaze to Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko and said gently: "Two little girls, don't blame yourselves too much. It's my fault that I scared you like this."

When Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran heard what Matsumoto Kiyonaga said, they felt relieved.

Suzuki Sonoko scratched her head and smiled sheepishly, "Uncle Matsumoto, you are a magnanimous person. Just don't argue with us. To be honest, I was really frightened by your aura just now. I spoke without thinking."

Mao Lilan also echoed: "Yes, Uncle Matsumoto, you look so majestic. We didn't react in time and caused such a misunderstanding. I hope you don't take it to heart."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga waved his hand slightly. Although his expression was still serious, his tone was much softer: "It's okay. Young people are bound to make small mistakes. The important thing is to know your mistakes and correct them. Just be careful in the future."

As a senior leader in the police force, it would be bad if he were to argue with a few little girls.

Moreover, these two girls are not only his daughter's students, but also seem to be acquaintances of Inspector Megure, his old subordinate.

Even if nothing else is said, just for the sake of his daughter and his subordinate, Inspector Megure, he couldn't afford to bother with Mouri Ran and the other girl!
