Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 236 Ares, You Don’t Want to…

After a while, Ares finally made a mistake due to lack of physical strength and failed to receive the ball hit back by Makino.

Ares took a look at the tennis ball that had fallen to the ground and rolled off the court, put the racket on the ground, leaned over, supported his knees with both hands, and took a few deep breaths.

It has been a long time since he stopped being a tennis player and became Minerba's coach. He hasn't had such a fierce "confrontation" for a long time.

At first, he just wanted to judge Makino's tennis level.

However, as time went by, his thoughts became "to what extent can the opponent fight him?"

After that, he was completely out of ideas.

Apart from the damn desire to win from deep in my heart, the only word left in my mind was "absurd".

On the other side, seeing that the first ball of the two people in front of them finally ended, Maori Kogoro and Kudo Shinichi, who were watching the game on the side, looked at Ares who was squatting on the ground gasping for breath with sympathy, and nodded silently.

No wonder Makino’s friends said playing with him was a disaster.

If I'm not mistaken, Makino's friend should have experienced something similar.

With this kind of outrageous physical fitness and athletic ability, things like tennis level and technique are no longer important...

After taking a short breath, Ares stood up and looked at Makino as if he were a monster.

Makino glanced at Ares in front of him and smiled, "Mr. Ares, why don't we take a break and watch Mr. Maori and the others fight for a while?"

Ares nodded quickly: "Okay, okay! Actually, I haven't exercised like this for a long time, and my body is a little overwhelmed. Ha, ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo looked at each other.

The next second, Kudo Shinichi chuckled and nodded, "Uncle Maori, how about we have a competition?"

Kogoro Mori nodded with a smile, and a strange scarlet light flashed in his eyes.

Makino looked with interest at Kogoro Mori and Shinichi Kudo who were preparing to play on the court.

His intuition told him that this game must be very interesting.
……

Not long after, looking at Kogoro Mori and Shinichi Kudo fighting in the field with red faces, Makino's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly.

Although Kogoro Mori's tennis skills are not as good as Shinichi Kudo's, his desire to win is obviously more than one level higher than Shinichi Kudo's.

This can be seen from Kogoro Mori's scarlet eyes and the blue veins on his face and hands.

Kudo Shinichi obviously has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

You guys don't really want to win this game, do you?
Don't you realize that this is no longer just a tennis game?

Thinking of this, Makino smiled and shook his head. This kid's EQ is really high at times and low at times.

At this moment, Ares glanced absentmindedly at the two people who were fighting fiercely on the court, then turned to look at Makino beside him: "By the way, Mr. Makino, do you want to become a professional tennis player?"

Makino: "?"

"Sorry, I don't have such an idea for the moment." Makino shook his head.

"Really? That's such a pity. If it were you, you could probably become the strongest tennis player even without training." Ares sighed regretfully, his expression gloomy.

After a moment of silence, Ares, who had already fallen into "dejected" mode, took the initiative to change the subject: "Mr. Makino, when are you planning to leave London?"

Although Ares tried his best to hide his emotions, Makino still detected a hint of "absent-mindedness" in his tone and expression.

After thinking for a while, Makino chuckled and said, "We are on a flight tomorrow night, and this vacation is not long, so we must go back as soon as possible.

Speaking of which...Mr. Ares, you seem to have a good relationship with Miss Mineva~"

After hearing the word "Minaba", Ares's expression became noticeably more lost.

After a bitter smile, Ares shook his head and said, "To be honest, I love her very much, but I can't be with her. If it weren't for me, Mineva's father wouldn't..."

At this point, Ares touched the back of his head embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, you probably don't know yet, but Minaba's father used to be my coach.

A few years ago, he was in a car accident while going to watch my game. If it wasn't for watching my game, the coach would have..."

As he spoke, Ares' voice gradually became quieter.

Makino shook his head and said slowly: "Is this the reason why you don't plan to be with Miss Minaba? I can see that Miss Minaba likes you very much as well."

"No, for tennis players like us, LOVE means 0. We...we will not have a good ending." Ares slowly closed his eyes.

Hearing this, Makino chuckled and said, "If there is no 0, then wouldn't all the other numbers be meaningless?"

Without waiting for Ares to respond, Makino put away the smile on his face and continued in a sinister tone: "Besides... Mr. Ares, you don't want the lovely Miss Minaba to marry a weird guy, right?
Maybe her future marriage partner is a man with a beastly heart, who, in addition to being an alcoholic and violent, will gradually destroy her career, spend all her savings, and even do this and that..."

Ares: "!!!!"

Hearing this, Ares suddenly opened his eyes and punched the seat next to him: "No! I will never allow this to happen!!"

Seeing this, Makino smiled again: "Mr. Ares, do you know what to do now?"

Ares nodded fiercely: "I will kill the man who slandered Miss Minerba!!"

After saying that, Ares raised his other fist and hammered it hard on the same spot on the chair.

Makino: “???”

……

An hour later, inside the Glass Mansion.

Makino and his companions washed up quickly, and then went to the main restaurant under the guidance of Mineva and Ares.

Ares sat down next to Mineva without hesitation.

As soon as everyone sat down, Minerva noticed the bandages on Ares' hands and frowned, "Ares, how did your hands get hurt?"

Under Minerva's concerned gaze, Ares scratched his head embarrassedly: "I just fell accidentally, it's nothing, I will be fine in two days."

"Did you fall?" Minaba looked at Ares' hands with a questioning look.

Did you fall and land on your fist knuckles?
After noticing Mineva's gaze, Ares hid his hands under the table and whispered, "Tonight... I have something very important to tell you!"

After hearing these words, Minaba immediately looked into Ares' eyes, with a look of deep surprise and a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Although they had only been apart for over an hour, she felt that Ares' attitude towards her seemed to have changed in some way.

Could it be that Ares... Thinking of this, the tips of Mineva's ears turned slightly red.

At this moment, Minaba remembered that there were other people around. She coughed lightly and looked at Makino and the others beside her: "Mr. Makino, it seems that you guys were playing tennis just now, right?"

Makino nodded, glanced at Maori Kogoro and Kudo Shinichi who were sitting weakly on the chairs beside him, and chuckled: "That's right, but most of the time it was Maori-san and Kudo-san fighting, and the battle was very intense~"

"Oh?" Minaba looked at the limp Maori Kogoro and Kudo Shinichi curiously, "It looks like the game is very exciting~"

As if he had heard what Minaba said, Maori Kogoro said in a weak voice: "Damn boy..."

Hearing this, Kudo Shinichi slowly turned his head and looked at Maori Kogoro beside him, frowning slightly.

What did this uncle just say?
The next moment, Kudo Shinichi didn't care about what Maori Kogoro said before, but stretched out his hand to rub his arm and said secretly:
"I didn't expect that Uncle Maori's physical strength and tennis skills are so good... After all, it's just a small game before dinner, why is the uncle trying so hard?"

Kudo Shinichi vaguely remembered that when they were playing just now, Maori Kogoro's facial expression was extremely ferocious, as if he was determined to win this game even at death...

At this time, Sonoko turned to look at Makino and the others and said, "By the way, Brother Longyi, did you play basketball with Mr. Ares? Miss Minaba said that Mr. Ares was very good when he was a player!"

Mineva also looked at Ares beside her curiously.

Ares: “…”

Ares' smile froze on his face. He slowly turned his head to look at Makino beside him, and the scene of the two people's competition flashed through his mind again.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be getting a little strange, Xiaolan immediately looked at Maori Kogoro and Kudo Shinichi and asked, "Dad, Shinichi, since you two are in a group. Then Makino-san should be in a group with Mr. Ares, right?"

Maori Kogoro and Kudo Shinichi: "..."

Kogoro Mori and Shinichi Kudo looked at Makino at the same time with complicated expressions.

How to say this?
Seeing that Kogoro Mori and Shinichi Kudo had the same reaction as Ares, everyone turned to look at Makino, trying to get an answer from him.

At this moment, Ares sighed lightly, spread his hands and smiled: "I did fight with Mr. Makino for a while... To be honest, if he became a professional player, I might never win the championship in my life."

Hearing Ares say this, everyone present showed surprise on their faces.

Apollo stared at Makino with eyes wide open, a look of disbelief on his face.

He had lived with Ares since he was a child and knew that Ares never liked to tell lies.

The next second, Mineva said in astonishment: "Ares, Mr. Makino's tennis level is really...really that high?!"

Seeing that Minerva didn't seem to believe in herself, Ares smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is not a question of how good your tennis level is. Mr. Makino's athletic ability and physical fitness are the most terrifying I have ever seen. If Mr. Makino plays a serious game with me, I might lose miserably."

Minaba: “?!!”

……

At the same time, in a hotel room in London.

Akai Mary glanced at the information on the phone screen, then turned to look at Sera Masumi beside her with a serious expression: "Masumi, I have asked my colleagues at MI6 to investigate, and Kudo Shinichi did fly to London.

In addition, I also asked my friends in Tokyo to research "Edogawa Conan" and "Kudo Shinichi".

According to his investigation, this child named Conan seemed to have appeared out of thin air. He could not find any detailed information about him or his parents or relatives.

Besides, the time when this child appeared was exactly the same time when Kudo Shinichi disappeared from the media! "

Sera Masumi frowned and said, "Mom, could this Edogawa Conan be..."

Akai Mary nodded directly: "Yes, I think he is Kudo Shinichi! He is likely to have been fed drugs by the people of that organization like me, so his body has become smaller!"

Masumi Sera looked down at the information about Kudo Shinichi on her mobile phone screen and nodded with a serious expression.

If it were before, she might have thought her mother's guess was wrong.

But now that her mother had become smaller due to unknown drugs, she also strongly agreed with her mother's judgment.

After thinking for a moment, Sera Masumi said, "Mom, since he came to London as Kudo Shinichi, does he have... an antidote that can transform him back to his original body?!"

A gleam of light flashed in Akai Mary's eyes: "No matter what his relationship with that organization is, one thing is certain, since he can appear here in the guise of 'Kudo Shinichi', he must have the antidote in his hand!"

At this point, Akai Mary looked up at Sera Masumi and said decisively: "Masumi, let's go to Tokyo next!"

"Okay!" Sera Masumi answered without hesitation.

……

The next afternoon, London Airport.

Minerva brought her brother Apollo to the airport to see Makino and his friends off.

Xiaolan looked at Minaba embarrassedly and said, "Ms. Minaba, don't you have a lot of work to do today? You actually came here specially to see us off..."

Before Xiaolan could finish, Minaba chuckled and shook her head, saying, "After all, you are our family's savior. Don't worry, I have already turned down all those jobs~"

At this point, Minaba turned to look at Makino, smiled and blinked: "What's more, Mr. Makino helped me a lot~"

"Very busy?" everyone asked curiously.

Minaba took out her phone with a smile and showed everyone the text message on it: "I don't know what Mr. Makino said to Ares yesterday. Ares finally confessed his feelings to me last night~
That guy seemed a little shy, so he didn't come to see you off, but he explicitly asked me to help convey his gratitude to you!"

This big news immediately made Xiaolan and Sonoko's expressions extremely excited.

Seeing this, Mineva quietly leaned over to the two of them and told them the "confession" that Ares had said yesterday.

After hearing this, Xiaolan and Sonoko immediately screamed with excitement and their faces turned red.

At this moment, Maori Kogoro looked around and asked, "Where is that annoying boy? Isn't he going to go back with us?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan chuckled and said, "He still has cases to deal with, so he will have to stay here for a while~"

Maori Kogoro curled his lips and said, "Really? I think that guy didn't dare to see me because he lost the game yesterday?"

"Match? Are you talking about the tennis match you two played yesterday? Dad, you won?!" Xiaolan asked curiously.

Maori Kogoro raised his head proudly and said, "Of course! I am the world-famous detective Maori Kogoro, how could I lose to a brat?!"

Makino: "..."

If I remember correctly, since the meal was already prepared, it seemed like it was a tie between you two?
Although he thought so, Makino did not say it out loud.

After all, he knew why Maori Kogoro fought so hard yesterday~
