Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 88: Maori Kogoro's Rescue Plan
"The older people get, the more stubborn their thinking becomes. This is determined by brain science."

Yingsheng said: “When Mr. Mao Li’s mind was more malleable more than a decade ago, and he was guided by his passionate love with lawyer Fei, he did not make any changes and allowed it to develop to the present. Especially after experiencing the rot in the past ten years, it is undoubtedly terminally ill.

If you want him to change, you not only have to use drastic measures, but you also have to scrape the bone to cure the poison.

Xiaolan, do you know about electric shock therapy?
Send Mr. Maori directly to a detoxification center!"

"..."

Xiaolan covered her face helplessly: "I found that Shuiyue-kun has great malice towards my father."

Yingsheng spread his hands: "Who told him to do such excessive things? Together with you and Lawyer Fei, he almost ruined two people, and he didn't realize it at all and showed no remorse.

Considering all those shortcomings, the image of Mr. Maori in my mind is now equivalent to a slug. You are more on his side than Lawyer Fei. Lawyer Fei helped Mr. Maori out of love when he could not afford the bail, mostly out of pity for him.

Oh my God, this poor guy, he would not be able to survive without my help.

That's all. "

"..."

Xiaolan was speechless again. She stood up, put her palms together, and bowed...Oh, where is the person?

"Back to business."

Yingsheng had already sat behind Xiaolan: "Let's solve Mr. Maori's problems one by one. First is the simplest one, his sloppy lifestyle.

This problem can actually be solved together with the fact that Lawyer Fei needs to take care of housework and cook bad meals. It is super simple. Just hire a nanny. If one is not enough, then two or three.

Seriously, when all the trivial tasks such as washing clothes, cooking and mopping the floor are outsourced, you will find that everything is so simple and clear, and that is real life.

With the financial strength of lawyer Fei, it is not difficult to afford this, of course, the premise is that she is willing to return to the Maori family. "

Xiaolan sighed: "This is too extravagant."

"Not really."

Yingsheng said: "Without those trivial ties, people's energy and even creativity will be improved.

Lawyer Fei and Mr. Maori can focus more on their careers. Even if we ignore the emotional value, the economic value generated is much higher than hiring a nanny.

The simplest example is Suzuki.

Does she have more free time than you and is generally in a positive mood? "

Yingsheng is quite aware of the power of money. Even though it is not omnipotent, it can solve 99% of the problems in life.

Otherwise, why does he always ask for more money?
Just to save some trouble.

After listening to Yingsheng's words, Xiaolan nodded weakly.

She actually felt that it was okay, after all, she was used to it, but the objective fact was that, and she couldn't lie with her eyes open.

Although Sonoko would never show this in front of her, she could actually feel some gap.

Let’s take the simplest example.

Makeup, famous brands, fashion, movie stars, these should be the most common topics among high school girls, but they did not come up very often when she and Sonoko were chatting.

The reason is simple, Sonoko knows it, but she doesn't understand it.

The few she knew, such as Fusae, were also caused by Sonoko occasionally forcing her to go shopping, regardless of her eagerness to go home and cook...

It turned out to be the case.

Does Sonoko want her to not be completely locked up at home and to be able to contact the outside world?
Xiaolan pursed her lips, thinking that she had always been grateful for Sonoko's care.

And following this line of thought... Xiaolan suddenly understood why Sonoko always mentioned Shinichi every time she was with her.

Could it be that it was difficult for her to find other topics to talk about, and this was the only one that was least likely to go wrong?

Terrible.

If she can't make changes quickly, even if Sonoko accommodates her, if the gap is too big, the two of them will still drift apart. She doesn't want to be disqualified as a best friend.

They said they wanted to be good friends for life!

Although he didn't know what Xiaolan was thinking, seeing her eyes become more determined, Yingsheng still smiled:

“Go on, Mr. Maori’s next question.

Not caring about family members.

This is actually a false proposition. Judging from the fact that he shot Lawyer Fei, he is actually concerned, but his personality is a bit twisted and he is not good at expressing himself.

It seems that the trend here is to admire men to be restrained, which does have a kind of hazy beauty at certain times, but when it reaches the level he has, it's just sick.

I suggest he see a psychiatrist.”

Xiaolan shook her head: "Dad will definitely not go."

"Yes, but isn't he lying in the hospital with a broken leg?" Yingsheng said with a smile, "I plan to find a psychiatrist to treat him at his bedside. He can't even run."

"..."

Xiaolan expressed doubt: "Is this kind of compulsory preaching really acceptable to people?"

"Whether he can accept it or not, as long as those principles enter his mind, they will always automatically jump out at the critical moment. Just like mathematics, many people hate it when they are studying, but when they encounter it in life, they will still think of it first."

Xiaolan nodded thoughtfully.

Shuiyue-kun is so awesome!

He did it right away. Yingsheng took out his mobile phone, searched for a psychologist, made a phone call, and transferred money. He did it all in less than five minutes, leaving Xiaolan stunned.

Seeing Yingsheng put away his phone, Xiaolan opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted in advance:

"My money was all earned by the wind, so don't worry about it. If you really feel bad about it... well, I want to ask you for a favor tonight. It's about force, okay?"

Xiaolan nodded immediately, her eyes even showing some eagerness to try: "Is it the same type as last time?"

Yingsheng sighed, "Pretty much. It was some gamblers who teamed up to cheat someone out of all his money last night. It's the same as last time. We just need to find evidence and hand it over to the police. You should have seen the ending of the last incident in the newspaper."

"I've seen it. It's a great victory for the police."

Xiaolan sighed: "But it seems that we left too early. Other gangs came to take advantage of the situation and some people died. It seems that we were misunderstood as one of them."

"That can't be helped. We can leave later this time." Seeing Xiaolan nod, Yingsheng continued:

“Mr. Maori’s next problem is his lack of ambition.

Unless he is the type who is born to live from day to day, then this is actually just a superficial phenomenon. The fundamental reason leading to this is that he cannot see the future, so of course he has no motivation.

You said that he would complain that Kudo was a scab and that this caused him to have no business, so the reason was probably this aspect. In the way of detective, he was completely crushed by others.

Rationally speaking, I suggest that he become Kudo's apprentice and serve as his detective assistant.

There’s always something to learn.”
