Sign in from Mihua Special Street

"Huh? That person seems to be..."

Just when Xu Yang fell into strange logical thinking, a blue figure flashed past his eyes.

Of course, it wasn't because he saw the pretty girl...

Uh!He did see the beautiful girl, that's right!

I also feel that Liangmei is a little familiar.

The small horn on the forehead, some eye-catching...

Blue high school uniform...

Ah!

Mao Lilan! ?

Xu Yang's eyes widened, and clouds were surging in his mind.

I didn't expect to see the heroine so soon...

However, how could she appear in such a place?

While being puzzled, Xu Yang used the skills learned from watching a thousand episodes of Conan to start reasoning.

First, he rules out evil aid distractions.

Not to mention his understanding of Xiaolan in advance, he knows that Xiaolan is a kind and upright girl.

Also, no one is stupid enough to come to the aid in their own high school uniform!

Isn't that the same as self-disclosure?

So, are you looking for someone?

Or maybe it was to catch the girl?

Xu Yang rolled his eyes, a little interest rose in his heart, and he followed.

...

Soon, Xu Yang followed Xiaolan to a relatively spacious open-air bar.

Although the place here is relatively spacious, there are only a few people.

It looks like a high-end place.

The one who got the most attention was a sloppy old man who was enjoying a drink, with a bright smile on his face.

He was accompanied by a geisha in rich costumes and elegant manners.

certainly!Through the obvious mustache and exaggerated laugh, Xu Yang recognized at a glance that the uncle in front of him was Xiaolan's father——Moori Kogoro.

"I don't know how to drink it..." The corner of Xu Yang's mouth twitched.

Anyway, he couldn't appreciate this kind of woman with pale face.

especially at night...

Suck, scary~

However, Mori Kogoro enjoyed it instead, laughing heartily, and kept asking the geisha beside him to drink more.

"Ahaha...Mr. Mori, you're drunk..."

"X-Miss Shi Hezi... I can... drink two more... burp!"

"Mr. Mori is really huge!"

"Hahaha... so-so..."

"boom!"

There was only a sound of shock, and Xiaolan, who had long been unable to hold back her anger, punched the dining table, almost causing it to fall apart.

"dad--!"

Mori Kogoro, who was originally drunk, suddenly turned pale, and turned to the visitor with a stiff neck.

"Lan, why are you here?"

"Hehe... If I don't come again, I'm afraid the entrustment fee will be spent again!?" Xiaolan put her hands on her hips, her tone was somewhat disappointed.

Originally, there were few commissions from the detective agency, so she had to save carefully to make ends meet.

After finally receiving a big commission some time ago, she did not expect her father to go to a place like a special street to drink flower wine because of a practice in the karate club...

Looking at the opened bottles of high-end wine on the table, her weak heart ached.

Mom, is that how you run away from home...

...

Not far away, Xu Yang shook his head when he saw this scene.

Perhaps he is the person who can best understand Xiaolan's mood at the moment.

Mingming is a young girl who has taken on the burden of the family at an age when she should be happy.

If he remembers correctly, in the early days of Conan, Xiaolan was always wearing the student uniform of Didan High School, and it was not until the business of the office improved that there were more clothes.

What a pity...

"Nani!? 20 yen?" The exclamation of the girl in front interrupted Xu Yang's thoughts.

The geisha embarrassedly took out the list and handed it to Xiaolan, "That's right! Mr. Mori first ordered singing and dancing, then ordered the latest sake, and finally added several bottles of our treasure..."

Looking at the huge number clearly marked on the list, Xiaolan felt cold, and hurriedly looked at her father, "Dad, how much is the entrustment fee this time?"

"Ten, one hundred thousand..."

"..." Xiaolan's expression froze when she heard this.

Although she is in control of the family's financial power, she only leaves some small change for daily expenses.

It's really impossible for her to take out so much cash at once.

"Ms. Shi, Shi Hezi, can I get credit? I'll come back after I withdraw money from the bank tomorrow..." The girl's tone was a little more helpless.

"Xiao Lan, Mr. Mori is also a regular customer..." The geisha known as "Shi Hezi" sighed, "But I am only a part-time worker, the rules are set by the boss, and it is clearly stipulated that no credit is allowed, so I also... ..”

"You should find acquaintances to find a way to get together? There is a phone behind the bar..."

"..." Xiaolan stayed where she was.

To be honest, she really wanted to leave her embarrassing father here and leave.

But seeing the graying of his father's temples, his heart softened again.

When her mother left home when she was young, her father raised her up!

While feeling helpless, several figures flashed in my mind.

Although she is very popular, there are not many people who can speak up and solve the current difficulties.

Best friend Sonoko, childhood sweetheart Shinichi, and his own lawyer mother...

(!??8!:?) But among these people, can she really speak?

Yuanzi always wanted to support her own office, but she refused.

She has always insisted that money should not be mixed in friendship...

As for Shinichi, can he speak again?

If I tell my mother, is the possibility of getting back together with my father less...

...

At this moment, the girl fell into infinite entanglement and loss.

Until a surprised male voice came from the ear——

"Eh!? Isn't this Mr. Mori?"

Chapter 5 Someone Xu Weaving Lies

It was a certain Xu who had malicious intentions who came forward to talk to her!

Sophisticated, he easily saw through the girl's complicated thoughts, and decided to step forward to help.

This also allowed him to get in close contact with the heroine in Conan.

Although it was only the female uniform of Didan High School, its body showed graceful curves, its white and tender face was delicate and handsome, and its water-blue eyes were bright and penetrating, but there was a trace of sadness mixed in.

...

"Eh!? You are..." Xiaolan was a little surprised.

She didn't know the young man in front of her.

However, the handsome face made her lower her vigilance a bit.

"I used to be Mr. Mao Li's client. You are his daughter, Miss Mao Li, right?" Xu Yang put on an excited expression.

It was the perfect excuse he had come up with.

Mori Kogoro is a detective who runs a detective agency.

Even though he was quite poor, he has received countless clients over the years.

Based on how sloppy Mori Kogoro is, he can pass off as one of them.

This trick is similar to "Hello! Mr. Wang, I'm xxx" in the previous life.

What's more, he has another insurance.

That is, he lived in Mihua Town [-]-chome (Kudo Shinichi also lived in [-]-chome) before.

Although it is far away from the places where Kudo Shinichi, Dr. Ari and others live, they can be regarded as neighbors living nearby.

It doesn't make people too suspicious...

...

Of course, the weak girl in front of her didn't know what Xu Yang was thinking.

I saw her barely showing a smile, "It's really rude..."

"Miss Mao Li, I just heard..." Xu Yang looked at Xiao Lan's expression, and said slowly, "Mr. Mao Li seems to have encountered some difficulties?"

"A little trouble, just about to..." Xiaolan's cheeks flushed, revealing a hint of shame.

I didn't expect such a shameful scene to be seen by someone I knew.

Still a nice looking guy...

"Miss Mao Li..." Xu Yang interrupted the girl immediately, and said seriously, "Please let me help!"

Without waiting for Xiao Lan to speak, he continued to add: "Mr. Mao Li once helped me a lot, this matter is nothing! And I am planning to ask Mr. Mao Li to entrust something..."

"This..." The girl was silent for a long time, hesitated again and again, and finally nodded.

Originally, she didn't want to owe a debt of favor, but Xu Yang intentionally diverted this help to the work of the firm.

In this way, the work entrustment involving the firm, coupled with some small thoughts in her heart, finally made her reluctantly accept it.

Seeing Xiaolan nodding in agreement, Xu Yang was overjoyed, and turned to the geisha, "Miss Shihezi, right? Can I swipe my card?"

"Okay, of course!" Shi Hezi was taken aback when he heard the words, and was immediately overjoyed.

She is also an old man in this industry, and she knows that only when her wealth reaches a certain amount can she hold a bank card. (ps: Most people use passbooks at this stage, but don’t get too entangled in Conan’s timeline...)

Seeing Xu Yang take out a black bank card and hand it to Shi Hezi, Xiaolan blushed and thanked, "Thank you very much, I didn't know you were..."

She felt that she was so rude, she didn't know who the other party was, and she chose such a thing.

"I'm Xu Yang, I live in Mihua Town 2-chome..." Xu Yang smiled, "By the way, Mr. Mao Li, let me help! Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't be able to go home easily in this state... .”

Xiaolan looked back and saw her father lying on the table holding the wine bottle, his face flushed, and he hurriedly bowed: "I'm sorry to trouble you..."

...

After more than ten minutes' journey, Xu Yang and his party came to the intersection of the characteristic small street.

Xu Yang also waved for a taxi.

As for the drunk Mori Kogoro, Xu Yang spent some money to let the waiter in the outcropping bar act as a coolie.
