Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 20: Unreliable Maori Kogoro

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Conan showed a look of astonishment, looked at Terusuke beside him, and then at the three people in front of him who were laughing.

"Haha, sorry, I can't pretend anymore." Kudo Yusaku took off the mask on his face, revealing his true face and said, "Actually, it's me, the world's leading mystery novelist, Kudo Yusaku!"

"Dad!" Conan looked at Kudo Yusaku in front of him in a daze, then pointed at the fat woman next to him and said, "Then this aunt is..."

"It's me!" Kudo Yukiko tore off the disguise mask on her face and said with a smile: "But even my son didn't notice me. It seems that my acting skills haven't regressed!"

"Mom! The remaining person must be Dr. Agasa!" Looking at the smiling Kudo Yukiko, Conan sweat dropped from his face and said with a speechless expression.

Hearing this, Dr. Agasa revealed his true face and said, "It's me, Shinichi!"

Conan looked at the people around him, and finally turned his gaze back to Huisuke, pointed at Huisuke and asked: "So you knew about this a long time ago? And you even teamed up to carry out such a hateful prank?"

"I do know." Huisuke nodded first, admitting that he did know about it.

Then he shook his head and said, "Actually, my coming here was not planned. It can only be said to be an accident."

"After you were taken away, my sister saw you reunited with your family and wanted us to have a family gathering as well. The location happened to be next door, Room 302."

"Since I'm here, I'll come see you."

Looking at Huisuke's indifferent reaction, Conan laughed angrily and said, "Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to tease me!"

Looking at the somewhat angry Conan, Kudo Yukiko explained: "We finally came back, but found that you were not at home. After asking Professor Agasa, we decided to give you a surprise!"

Hearing what Kudo Yukiko said, Conan couldn't hold back and said angrily: "What kind of surprise is this! I almost thought I was going to be killed!"

After hearing Conan's words, Kudo Yusaku finally revealed the real purpose of his trip: to persuade Conan to live abroad with them.

Hearing this, Conan also understood the purpose of his parents' visit this time, and refused firmly: "No! This is my own business, I want to solve it by myself, I don't want you to interfere"

"Besides, I'm doing great here and don't want to leave here to live abroad!"

Kudo Yukiko looked at Conan hesitantly, and said in a daze: "Shinichi..."

"Okay, Yukiko." Kudo Yusaku stopped Kudo Yukiko and said solemnly to Conan:
"Okay! Since you insist on doing this, we respect your wishes. However, if you are really in danger, we will take you away immediately!"

Then, Kudo Yusaku looked at Terusuke and handed him a business card while saying, "I will have Yukiko pay the foster care fee to Mr. Mori when the time comes."

"Kusuke, you know Shinichi inside and out. I'll trouble you to take care of Shinichi in the Mori family from now on. If you have any questions, you can always contact me. Here is my contact information."

"Yeah," Huijie nodded, then looked at the time and said to the others, "It's time for me to go over. You haven't seen each other for a long time, so you must have a lot to talk about. I won't bother you anymore."

Then he went out and walked towards room 302.

……

"Kusuke, you're here! Long time no see!" As soon as I entered the door, I heard the kind voice of Kisaki Eri.

Looking at Kiyori and Xiaolan in front of him, Huisuke asked in surprise: "Sister, hasn't my dad come yet?" Hearing Huisuke's words, Kiyori's face darkened and said: "Don't worry about that man, as long as you are here, it's fine!"

Hearing what Kisaki Eri said, Xiaolan smiled awkwardly, but still explained: "Dad was so happy about meeting Mom yesterday that he accidentally drank too much and hasn't gotten up yet."

"Okay," Kisaki Eri waved her hand, then said to Terusuke, "I really regret letting you go to that man now. So, tell me, Terusuke, how have you been doing recently?"

Huijie felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard Kisaki Eri's greetings, and said, "I'm doing well, don't worry about me."

Compared to Terusuke's brief answer, Xiaolan answered in detail: "Mom, you don't know, Terusuke has made new friends. They formed a group called the Junior Detective Team, and Terusuke is even the leader!"

"And his homeroom teacher, Mr. Kobayashi, is also very optimistic about Terusuke and has even made him the class monitor!"

"Really? He's worthy of being my son!" Hearing Xiaolan's words, Kisaki Eri's tone was full of encouragement, and then she asked, "But Xiaolan, after saying so much, how is he doing at home?"

"emmm..."

When she heard this question, Xiaolan fell silent. Because Terusuke spent more time with Professor Agasa than with the Mori family, Xiaolan didn't know how to answer.

"Hmm?" Seeing the silent Xiaolan, a hint of suspicion flashed in Kisaki Eri's eyes.

In her expectation, even though Kogoro Mouri looked unreliable, he would not really let Terusuke suffer any injustice. So why did Xiaolan not speak?

Seeing that Xiaolan did not reply to her, Kisaki Eri turned to look at Terusuke, wanting to get an answer from him.

Huijie thought about it, decided not to think about it, and said directly and truthfully: "It's normal for my sister not to know."

"Because Dr. Agasa has a lot of games, I actually spend more time with him."

"I see!" A glimmer of understanding flashed in Kisaki Eri's eyes, and then she said, "That's right, I'm not too sure about staying with Kogoro. Dr. Agasa's place is not bad either."

"I'll go talk to Dr. Agasa later. If everything goes well, you can just go directly to Dr. Agasa when Xiaolan is not around."

After a while, Kisaki Eri called, and after she hung up, the family gathering came to an end.

Kisaki Eri said apologetically, "I'm sorry, kids. I have to leave first because of work."

"It's okay, Mom, you go ahead and do your work!"

"See you next time!"

Standing in the corridor, Xiaolan, who was watching Kieri leave, changed her smile and said to Terusuke with a disappointed look, "Terusuke, isn't what I did redundant?"

“I always feel like I’m the only one worried about this!”

In the corridor, Huijie looked at Xiaolan who seemed a little lost and said, "I feel like my parents seem to have something on their minds. I think they will get back together after they resolve those things!"

"Parents have their own blessings. We, as children, should let nature take its course and sometimes shouldn't interfere too much."
