Conan: The Unscientific Uchiha

"Bye-Bye."

"Shiho." As soon as he hung up the phone, Koji Shimizu couldn't help but growl in a low voice.

Miyano Shiho raised her head with an innocent look, as if nothing had happened. But when she saw Shimizu Koji's eyes that were gradually revealing hostility, she was instantly startled and slipped away, trying to escape from Shimizu Koji's arms.

However, it is easier come than go, especially since she had provoked him so much. Naturally, Shimizu Koji did not give her any chance and with a little force, he kept her in his arms.

Then, with a chuckle, she turned over, and soon after, Miyano Shiho started meowing.

The war started at 8:05 in the morning and ended at 9:30. It was Miyano Akemi who couldn't help but went upstairs and knocked on the door, ending the fight.

Since Miyano Shiho was unaware that Miyano Akemi was knocking on the door, she did not deliberately control her voice, so even when Shimizu Koji went downstairs to eat, she was still alone in the room and refused to come out.

"Mingmei, I'm going out now. Shiho, I'll leave it to you to take care of me~."

Rarely, Miyano Akemi rolled her eyes at Shimizu Koji, then started to clean up the table on her own, with the remaining blush on her cheeks clearly visible.

Koji Shimizu also felt a little embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly, then quickly got up and left the kitchen. He took the car keys at the entrance and left home directly.

Chapter 421: A Small Step for Eri Kisaki

To Koji Shimizu's surprise, Conan actually did not call him for the first time.

And last night, Conan seemed to have disappeared and there was no news for the whole night. If Dr. Agasa hadn't confirmed that he had been picked up, Koji Shimizu would have thought that he had really been kidnapped.

While driving towards Eri Kisaki's law firm, Koji Shimizu took the initiative to call Conan.

"Moxi moxi."

"It's me, Qingshui. It's so rare. Why didn't you call me this time?"

Conan on the other side was silent for a while before he said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so impulsive. Is Huiyuan okay?"

Although Conan was knocked unconscious and taken away by Shimizu Koji yesterday without doing much, when the lights went out, Haibara Ai did contact him in the venue through the detective armband. But before he could respond, he heard a "hmm", and then, Haibara Ai fell silent.

At that moment, Conan felt cold, scared, and panicked, but more than that, he felt regret.

But there was no way to turn back at that moment. He could only use his size advantage to continue in the venue, hiding and searching, and then he fell into Shimizu Hiroji's hands.

When Conan woke up in Dr. Agasa's car, he learned that Shimizu Koji had rescued Haibara Ai. He actually wanted to call him, but in the end, he didn't make the call.

He was filled with shame and couldn't face anyone.

"Ai is fine."

Shimizu Koji's tone was calm and no emotion could be heard, but Conan on the other end of the phone felt more and more uncomfortable.

"Qingshui, why don't you just scold me?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of special interest, and I don't intend to argue with you about this matter, but I hope it won't happen again. If there is a similar thing, you'd better not mess around before you get my response. You are just an elementary school student now, do you understand?"

"Um, I know. By the way, Shimizu, the chairman of the automobile group who was killed, Kenzo Masuyama."

"I didn't kill her, but he was the one who took Ai out of the venue."

This move by Koji Shimizu completely confused Conan's little head.

"Ah? If it's not you, then who is it?! Come to think of it, Shimizu, you don't have a gun."

"You want to investigate this case again?"

"Uh, no, no." Conan's voice was a little weak.

Shimizu Koji didn't take it seriously. He just thought about it for a moment and continued, "Actually, I know who killed Kenzo Masuyama."

"who is it?!"

"Lupin the Third."

You are sitting at home and the pot comes from the sky. Shimizu Koji now admires himself for talking nonsense. Anyway, Lupin's style of doing things is to act recklessly and unexpectedly. There is no problem in putting all the blame on Lupin.

After Shimizu Koji finished speaking, he simply hung up the phone. Firstly, he didn't want to continue talking about it. The more he talked, the more loopholes there would be. It would be better to let Conan guess and fill in the blanks on his own. Secondly, it was because he had arrived at his destination.

The sign of the Himesaki Law Firm was particularly eye-catching in the morning light. Just as Shimizu Koji was about to get off the car, he turned his eyes and saw Himesaki Eri who just walked down the stairs.

She was wearing a purple uniform miniskirt with a sea blue shirt underneath, a pearl necklace around her neck, and her long legs were slender and graceful, wearing a pair of black high heels.

Just like the first time they met in the cafe, but today Fei Yingli put on a little light makeup, her lips were rosy, and her eyes were clear, unconsciously carrying a kind of scrutiny. She looked more radiant and charming than before, but also more mature and cold. No approach, strangers allowed.

"Aunt Eri." Koji Shimizu rolled down the car window and greeted her.

In fact, Kisaki Eri had already seen his car in front of the window, but she didn't want Shimizu Koji to get in, so she hurried down. So she didn't have any surprised reaction to Shimizu Koji's greeting, she just turned around and walked towards him.

"Ms. Yingli, you look so beautiful today."

Even though Eri Kisaki had prepared herself mentally, she could not withstand such a direct shock from Kōji Shimizu.

Her face felt a little hot, and Shimizu Koji even took the initiative to get out of the car and help her open the passenger door.

Kisaki Eri felt a bit of a headache.

"Koji, I just..."

"I know, I know. Ms. Yingli just wanted to buy me two pieces of clothing as a thank you gift. I won't think too much about it."

Koji Shimizu blinked and looked very honest.

But of course, Kisaki Eri would no longer trust Shimizu Koji's deceptive appearance. However, she was probably prepared for this call today.

Strictly speaking, this was not a thank you gift, but an apology, because three or four days had passed since Koji Shimizu rescued her.

The car started slowly, and Shimizu Koji did not continue to talk nonsense or do anything else that crossed the line. While Kisaki Eri breathed a sigh of relief, she also unconsciously looked at Shimizu Koji who was driving.

Koji Shimizu is very young, looks sunny and cheerful, and looks very handsome when he drives seriously. If he were a dozen years younger, Eri Kisaki could not guarantee that she would not fall in love with Koji Shimizu.

"I thought you would ignore me anymore." Shimizu Koji suddenly said without looking away.

"Eh." Hibiki was stunned for a moment, stretched out her hand to lift her hair, and then said softly: "Koji-kun, you are my savior, I am very grateful to you, but between us, it is really..."

"By the way, Eri, where are we going?"

Koji Shimizu ignored what Eri Kisaki said, but suddenly spoke up and interrupted Eri Kisaki.

Hibiki Eri didn't expect that Shimizu Koji would suddenly ask her this after driving for quite some time. After a pause, she took out her phone, glanced at the plan she had made in advance, and said, "Well, why don't we go to Karuizawa? I heard from a friend that there are several very good men's clothing stores opened there recently. It just so happens that the weather is very hot recently, so we can go there to escape the heat. Koji-kun, do you know the way?"

In fact, Shimizu Koji drove towards Ginza subconsciously just now, because Kisaki Eri's place was very close to Ginza. He suddenly realized that Kisaki Eri was the host today, so this happened. He definitely did not interrupt Kisaki Eri on purpose.

When Kisaki Eri told them the destination, Shimizu Koji nodded, took out the map and looked at it, then started driving seriously again.

The day was still long, and he certainly wouldn't embarrass Kisaki Eri right away after she had finally taken a small step forward.

Even though Kisaki Eri still cares about her age, seeing that she put on makeup and lipstick that she had never worn before, and that she carefully chose Karuizawa as her destination, which is an hour's drive from downtown Tokyo, Shimizu Koji felt that he still had a good chance~.

Chapter 422 The Secret Discovered

Karuizawa, Gaojingchuan Hotel.

It's a rare day off, so Kogoro Mouri brought Xiaolan and Conan out here to relax.

One of the major features of Gaojingchuan Hotel is that although it is located in the city, it has a huge indoor swimming pool, allowing nearby residents and tourists who come here to enjoy the feeling of ocean waves in the swimming pool.

Therefore, there are a lot of people here today, especially young female college students.

Kogoro Mouri was lying on a lounge chair by the swimming pool, wearing sunglasses and with headphones of his Walkman in his ears. If you didn't look closely, you might think he was just an ordinary uncle enjoying his vacation.

But if you pay closer attention, you can see that the corners of Kogoro Mouri's mouth are almost reaching the sky.

A truly creepy old man, the kind that would scare away kids~.

At some point, Xiaolan and Conan silently stood beside Mouri Kogoro. Conan's mouth twitched and he looked speechless. He didn't want to come at first, but Mouri Kogoro insisted on bringing him along, because without him, Xiaolan would never agree to let Mouri Kogoro come out.

Xiaolan took two deep breaths, and her chest in her small vest rose and fell rhythmically. She looked at Kogoro Mouri's increasingly obscene smile that could not be concealed, and felt helpless and angry.

She suddenly reached out and picked up the remote control of the Walkman that Kogoro Mouri had placed on the table, and pressed the volume + sign all the way down fiercely.

“Ahhh~ Lula la ...!!!”

"Ahhhhh!!"

For a moment, even Conan on the side couldn't help but cover his ears, not to mention Kogoro Mouri who was caught off guard.

He jumped almost three meters high and fell off the chair while rolling and crawling.

In response to this, Xiaolan just sneered nonchalantly. She is the real filial daughter~.

It took Kogoro Mouri a long time to finally recover. He raised his head fiercely, then stared at Xiaolan, took a deep breath, and another deep breath.

My own daughter, my own daughter—I can’t beat her, I simply can’t beat her.

"Xiao, Xiaolan, are you going to kill me?!" But he still couldn't completely control himself. At least Maori Kogoro couldn't understand why Xiaolan suddenly came here.

"Hmph!" Xiaolan gave him a cold glance and reached out to confiscate Mouri Kogoro's Walkman.

"How dare you say that! It was you who said we should stay in Karuizawa for two days to escape the heat, but when we got here, you just put on some beach pants and enjoyed yourself."

Xiaolan said, and suddenly turned her head, "Conan, let's go, go eat, and ignore this damn old pervert."

"Uh, ah, Xiaolan, wait, wait for me a moment."

In just a moment, Mouri Kogoro became scared. He quickly stood up, but his feet slipped and he almost fell to the ground again. After finally standing up, Mouri Kogoro looked at the only pair of shorts on his body, so he quickly stepped on full throttle and ran straight to the locker room.

Although Xiaolan said she would take Conan away, she still waited for Kogoro Mouri at the hotel entrance.

However, even though Kogoro Mouri put on his clothes and followed him awkwardly, Xiaolan still didn't intend to give him a good look.

"Xiao Lan, please give me back my Walkman. I only listened to half of it."

"No, this MD is a birthday present my mom bought me. I don't want it. I'm lending it to a perverted old man!"

There were a lot of people around, and Kogoro Maori was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, so he had to quickly follow.

After walking out of the hotel gate and walking a few steps, the group turned into a shopping street. Conan and Xiaolan walked in front, and Mouri Kogoro followed behind with a melancholy look on his face.

".Hey, Xiaolan, you can't blame me. I have to deal with so many cases every day. I have to find a chance to relieve the pressure."

Conan rolled his eyes speechlessly, while Xiaolan still walked forward with her hands behind her back without looking back.

"Don't you feel sorry for your mother?"

Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed when she said this, because when she talked about this, she couldn't help but think of what happened a few days ago.

After Shimizu Koji left that day, it should have been a good opportunity for the family to reunite, but as soon as she pulled Mori Kogoro over, Kisaki Eri turned around and left without looking back.

Kogoro Mouri usually lives a life of debauchery, and he has been even more dissolute in recent days. The day before yesterday, an uncle who often drank with him sent Kogoro Mouri home. When he got home, Kogoro Mouri was in disarray, and his face and neck were covered with red lip marks.

There have been too many such incidents to count.

Even for Xiaolan, her previous determination to bring her parents together has faded a lot in the past few days.

Maori Kogoro was a little surprised to hear Xiaolan say that, and then he curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "How could she know what I'm doing? Besides, maybe Eri is also making out with a young man somewhere right now."

Kogoro Mouri's speculation was not purely malicious. In Tokyo, most office workers, especially singles, or middle-aged men and women like them who are separated and almost divorced, will find their own entertainment. There are plenty of KTVs and gigolo clubs anyway.

He, Kogoro Mori, is just one of them. Over the years, hasn't Kisaki Eri ever felt lonely?

Kogoro Mori doesn't care about it, or rather, he doesn't care about what he does. Kogoro Mori is a very traditional Japanese male chauvinist, and under the training of such a father, Xiaolan has been able to tolerate his behavior.

Xiaolan didn't think there was anything wrong with what she heard, and she was too lazy to even refute. She just looked around casually.

When Conan heard this, his little head couldn't help but start to have all sorts of random thoughts.

He is the only one who knows the secret.

But suddenly, Xiaolan stopped, and Mouri Kogoro almost bumped into her. Conan was almost the same, as he was held by Xiaolan's hand and also staggered.

"Xiaolan?"

"Sister Xiaolan."

Xiaolan turned a deaf ear to Conan and her father's calls. She just stared blankly in one direction and her eyes widened unconsciously.

The expression on his face changed from stunned to surprised, then to shocked, and then to covering his face in disbelief.

Seeing this, Conan and Maori Kogoro naturally looked in the direction where Xiaolan was looking.

Then, the two of them, like Xiaolan, froze in place.

Not far away, in a men's clothing store, through the transparent glass window, you can clearly see——

With a sweet smile on her face, Eri Kisaki was intimately holding Koji Shimizu's hand to help him try on a tie. The two of them were talking and laughing like a couple in love. Koji Shimizu, who was wearing a casual suit, looked particularly compatible with Eri Kisaki.
