I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 430 Although I took the blame, it was worth it (1st update)
Inside the bar, Kogoro Mouri tapped his fingers incessantly on his glass, the amber-colored whiskey shimmering under the lights.

Finally, he took a deep breath and spoke: "Yumi, it's time for us to end this."

Upon hearing this, Horikoshi Yumi neither cried nor made a fuss, but gently asked, "Did I do something wrong?"

Kogoro Mouri really wanted to say something like, "What did you do well?"

He avoided her gaze: "This relationship was wrong from the start. He didn't want this mistake to continue."

Yumi Horikoshi wanted to laugh when she heard that.

If you knew it was wrong, why did you still do it?

Do you regret it now?

You think you can just walk away after getting a freebie? Dream on!
She knew that Kogoro Mouri was emotionally clueless, so she could easily manipulate him.

She immediately threw herself into his arms and said softly, "It's okay, as long as no one knows, it's not a mistake!"

"I'm sorry to be here for dinner, but I was so hungry... so I left my room to eat something earlier."

Kogoro Mouri suddenly realized what was going on and believed the other person's explanation.

But his mind was made up, and he said firmly, "I know you didn't mean it, but... it really should end here."

With that, Kogoro Mouri reluctantly pulled out one million yen from his pocket and said, "This is compensation for you... I'm sorry, I can't give you happiness!"

Yumi Horikoshi could tell that Kogoro Mouri was determined, but she wasn't about to give up so easily.

She finally found an honest man to take over, and this honest man owns an apartment in Tokyo, where he can live comfortably just from the rent. How could she possibly turn her back on him so easily?

“Sigh… I was planning to tell you later. But now…” Horikoshi Yumi sighed and took out a test report from her bag.

Kogoro Mouri picked up the test report with a puzzled look, and found that it was a report, and the word "positive" written on it was particularly noteworthy!
Horikoshi Yumi smiled smugly as she watched the other person's expression change drastically.

Now, how should you deal with this?

"What does 'positive' mean?" Kogoro Mouri asked, somewhat puzzled.

"..." Horikoshi Yumi was shocked. She didn't know if the other person was blind or pretending to be blind.

Couldn't he see the words "pregnancy test report"?

She could only patiently point to the four large characters and say, "It means... I'm pregnant."

"What?" Kogoro Mouri realized what was happening, and his expression turned even more grim!
He is now extremely remorseful, feeling that he shouldn't have been so greedy for momentary pleasure!
This is terrible, something really bad has happened!
Kogoro Mouri was at his wits' end and didn't know what to do, so he could only smoke a cigarette to calm his nerves.

Just then, the phone rang suddenly.

The screen displayed "Xiao Lan," but he just stared at it without making any attempt to answer.

He didn't know what to do!
Should we let them abort it?
That would make me such a scumbag!

Even if you give birth to it, you can't be responsible for the person who gave birth to it, can you?

Just as Kogoro Mouri was feeling lost, his phone lit up again. This time it was a text message from E Shiraishi.

He clicked on it and saw the message: "[Xiao Lan is here]".

These four simple words startled Kogoro Mouri, who quickly stood up and said, "Let's go for a walk!"

As he spoke, he got up and walked towards the bar entrance, with Horikoshi Yumi following behind.

Ten minutes later, Xiaolan pushed open the door and entered the bar.

She went inside and looked around, but couldn't find Kogoro Mouri. In desperation, she asked the bartender, "Excuse me, have you seen my father? A middle-aged man with a mustache."

The bartender didn't want to bother with it; telling you wouldn't get him a raise.

But then a thought struck him: Xiaolan said the other person was her father, so didn't that mean there was some juicy gossip to be had?

He immediately said, "I saw it. Just five minutes ago, he left through the door with a beautiful lady."

"A beautiful lady?" Xiaolan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked, "Lady? What kind of lady?"

“The red dress is beautiful,” the bartender added.

Ran knew that the woman was Horikoshi Yumi. She didn't have time to think about it and simply assumed that she had run into an acquaintance and was having a chat.

After thanking her, she immediately chased after the gate.

But if Kogoro Mouri is determined to avoid her, how can she possibly find him?

After searching around the hotel without finding Kogoro Mouri, Ran had to give up and take the elevator back. On the way, she worried about her mother.

I wonder how Mom is doing now? Is she any better? I hope the ice water will help!
Worried, Xiaolan returned to the door and rang the doorbell.

The door opened in about five seconds.

"Hui, how is it?" Xiaolan asked impatiently as she entered the room.

“She’s much better now.” Shiraishi Ei closed the door and returned to the room with Ran, saying, “The ice water effectively curbed Attorney Fei’s condition… but the side effect is that she seems to have caught a chill.”

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan quickened her pace and went to the bedside.

Seeing Eri wrapped tightly in the blanket, she said with concern, "Mom, are you alright? Your face is all red from the cold..."

"I...I'm...I'm fine." Eri Kisaki forced a look of guilt at her daughter and said, her voice trembling, "I'm...much better now. After...a little rest, I should be fine."

"That's great." Ran breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Eri's condition had improved.

Then, she lowered her head and said with a face full of guilt, "I'm sorry, Mom... It's all my fault, it's all my fault."

She told everyone what she had done and took all the blame upon herself.

Upon learning the truth, Eri Kisaki was devastated; she never imagined she'd been tricked by her daughter!

She was about to give Xiaolan a lecture, but her professional instincts as a lawyer made her subconsciously begin to doubt.

Eri thought about it again and realized that this was not a solution that Ran could come up with!
This child is so kind, there's no way he would come up with such a despicable method.

So, she turned her gaze to Shiraishi E.

"..." Shiraishi Eri was speechless when she saw that Kisaki Eri was starting to doubt her.

But can he give up the garden?

Obviously not!!
As a man, one should still have the responsibilities one is expected to have.

Besides, I didn't take the blame for nothing... I actually benefited from it.

Although it was only half an hour, he went all out.

We've dealt all the damage we needed to.

Thinking about it that way, I realized I hadn't lost out.

Thinking of this, Shiraishi E looked ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, Attorney Ki, this terrible idea was actually mine!"

"I never expected such an accident to happen; it's my fault."

Eri Kisaki had encountered many clients who were full of lies, and she could tell from Shiraishi E's expression that the other party was not the one who did it.

Moreover, she knew that the other party had their own pride and would disdain such underhanded tactics.

If it's not Shiraishi E, then there's only one person left.

Garden!

The other party both proactively drove their nanny car over and offered to bring red wine.

Only wealthy people like Sonoko would be so bored as to meddle in other people's family affairs.

However, Eri Kisaki couldn't go to the culprit's garden.

Although it was a bit of meddling, the intention was good.

Most people wouldn't meddle in other people's family affairs.

At least Sonoko truly considers Ran a close friend.

"Considering your good intentions and that nothing serious was done, let's let it go this time," Eri said softly. "Alright, it's getting late. You should go back and rest."

"I'll stay and take care of Mom!" Ran couldn't bear to leave Eri alone and insisted on staying.

"Let Ran stay and take care of you." Shiraishi E also felt that Ran should stay.

After all, he had maximized his attack speed to save time.

If anything happens, Xiaolan can help call an ambulance.

"If you need anything, just give me a call anytime." Shiraishi E waved and left the room.
