Both Kogoro Mouri and Conan had objections.
Kogoro Mouri has absolutely no desire to train!
Drinking coffee every day, watching horse races, playing pachinko, and taking Conan around to solve cases along the way, occasionally going to Kabukicho for fun—this kind of life couldn't be more pleasant! Exercising is so tiring!
Moreover--
Now he can get women with money and fame, he doesn't care about their figures, it doesn't affect his ability to pick up girls!
As for Conan.
He had already discovered from the snippets of conversation he had with Xiaolan that she had fallen for another man, which was indeed very painful for him. However, the daily routine of following Uncle Mori around to solve cases was gradually easing the pain in his heart.
Now, if Uncle Mori works hard every day and stops going out to look for cases, he will often think about the fact that Ran was taken away by another man. He doesn't want that kind of thing!
however--
Faced with the resistance of the two.
Xiao Lan merely glanced at it with her beautiful eyes.
The two grown men immediately shut up.
A good man doesn't want to take advantage of the situation. With Xiaolan's current skills, he could easily beat them both to death with a raised hand, so he would just pretend to agree first, and then passively slow down the work.
After all, Ran has moved out of the agency now, so she has no idea whether they exercise regularly or not!
"I understand, Xiaolan!"
Kogoro Mouri put on a fawning smile, glanced into the distance, and suddenly changed the subject:
"Hey, isn't that Xia Ye?"
"Xia Ye?"
Xiao Lan's attention was indeed diverted.
Seeing Xia Ye smiling gently at her, she beamed with joy, abandoned her father and Conan, and ran lightly toward Xia Ye.
"uncle--"
Conan gave a deadpan look and said speechlessly:
"It seems like Sister Xiaolan likes Xia Ye!"
"nonsense!"
"Do you think I'm blind?"
Kogoro Mouri first tapped Conan on the head, then gently patted him, sighing as he said:
"This girl completely lost her composure the moment she saw him. How could I be a father if I couldn't tell? But speaking of which, that guy is really good-looking and has great qualities. It's normal for Ran to like him! At least he's much better than that detective brat from Yukiko's family!"
"uncle!"
Conan was speechless. Was I really that bad?
I'm a high school detective, the savior of the Japanese police. How am I inferior to that guy?
"Haha~"
Kogoro Mouri patted Conan on the head and said with a smile:
"I almost forgot, you're a relative of Yukiko's family, so you must be quite familiar with Shinichi. You even know that he likes Ran? Too bad, I don't want to interfere with who Ran likes. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters!"
"But--"
Conan was on the verge of tears...
Even my uncle agreed, so it seems I have no chance at all. Damn it, it's all that black-clad organization's fault. If they hadn't shrunk my body, I would have had a chance!
"Conan~"
Seeing Conan's gritted teeth, Kogoro Mouri laughed and teased him:
"You like Xiaolan too, don't you, kid?"
"He seems to care about her quite a bit—"
"Kids these days are so precocious!"
"uncle!"
Conan's face flushed red.
Uncle Mori actually found out!
"Ha ha!"
Kogoro Mouri patted Conan's thin shoulder, his tone teasing:
"Actually, if you were around the same age as Ran, I would support you pursuing her. After all, you and I get along so well, and you're much better than that Shinichi kid. However, you're too young now, and Ran can't wait for you. You should give up!"
"..."
Conan felt grief and indignation.
what happened?
I actually outshone myself!
hateful!
...
the other side.
Xiao Lan ran to Xia Ye's side.
After greeting Yoko Okino, he looked at Natsume's pretty face with surprise:
"Xia Ye, what brings you here?"
"I've come to visit Yoko on set~"
Xia Ye looked at Xiao Lan's outfit today.
Wearing a pink jumpsuit and matching pink flat shoes, she exudes a youthful and sweet vibe.
Her pure and lovely appearance made him involuntarily smile. Such a cute girl only had eyes for him; it really made him feel a little smug!
"That's it-"
Xiao Lan's beautiful eyes were like water as she smiled and said:
"Before my dad and I came, we asked Yukiko-neechan, and she said you were going to inspect the security company today, so we didn't tell you~"
"You only contacted Yukiko, right?"
Xia Ye feigned anger, put on a stern face, and gave a light snort:
"I know you're close to Yukiko, but couldn't you at least give me a call? I'm angry!"
"Nah!"
Xiao Lan tugged at Xia Ye's sleeve and said in a sweet voice:
"I was just afraid of disturbing your work!"
"Pfft-"
Yoko Okino, who was watching the scene unfold, couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth with her delicate hand.
Xiao Lan is such a cute girl, no wonder Xia Ye always wants to tease her, but—
But speaking of which, Xia Ye, that rascal, is always teasing her. Doesn't she think she's cute too?
......
Xia Ye chatted with Xiao Lan for a few minutes.
Kogoro Mouri walked over with Conan, greeted Natsume, and then chatted with the director.
It seems.
The crew was very welcoming to Kogoro Mouri.
After all, this is a suspenseful mystery drama.
The fact that Kogoro Mouri, a recently rising famous detective, was invited to be the mystery supervisor for this drama is a gimmick worth promoting.
not to mention--
A case from a couple of days ago made Kogoro Mouri famous nationwide. Strictly speaking, his current status is roughly equivalent to Yoko Okino's. The production team really got a great deal by having him listed in this drama!
Chapter 202 Xiaolan: I saw Mom and Xia Ye...
The film crew began shooting.
Xiaolan is very interested in acting.
Yoko Okino, who wasn't in the shot at the moment, stood behind the director with her and quietly explained the filming process to her.
Conan also went over to join in the fun.
As for Kogoro Mouri...
He didn't care about not having Yoko Okino filming, so he went to the side and chatted with Natsume.
to be frank.
Facing Kogoro Mouri.
Xia Ye was actually a little uncomfortable.
After all, in the past two days, he and Eri Kisaki did everything they should and shouldn't have done, except for the final step.
Even if Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki can't get back together, his behavior is still quite treacherous, and it's understandable that he feels awkward in front of his aggrieved party.
"Xia Ye, I've been seeing you on TV a lot lately. Not bad, you're much better than I was back then. I ran into Inspector Megure at the crime scene the other day, and he had nothing but praise for you!"
Seeing that Natsume was a little "reserved," Kogoro Mori quickly "guessed" the reason:
This kid must be trying to woo Xiaolan, that's why he's so nervous when he sees his old father.
I never expected him to be so spirited on TV, but actually quite innocent in real life!
This made Kogoro Mori find Natsume much more agreeable.
"Mr. Mori, you flatter me~"
Xia Ye was just awkward, but not particularly guilty, since those who acted like Cao Cao were all thick-skinned.
However, seeing Kogoro Mouri's friendly attitude, he smiled slightly and began exchanging pleasantries:
"Mr. Mori's reputation has far surpassed mine lately. The 'luxury cruise ship serial murder case' a few days ago caused quite a stir in Kyushu, even I heard about it. And the 'TV station murder case' the day before yesterday, which Nichiri TV broadcast live on 02, now the whole country knows your name, Mr. Mori!"
That's right—
During Xiaolan's trip to Izu with Xiaye.
After solving the "luxury cruise ship serial murder case" on Hatamoto Island, Kogoro Mouri and Conan returned to Tokyo and were invited to appear as guests on a popular live broadcast program on Nichiri TV.
Then came the case of TV host Takashi Matsuo murdering producer Michihiko Suwa.
The process is self-explanatory.
After all, this is just an ordinary case.
The key is the end.
When Conan used a tranquilizer dart to knock out Kogoro Mouri and was making his deductions, the TV station executives recognized his talent and immediately decided to broadcast the scene live!
Nichiri TV is a nationwide television station.
As a result, Kogoro Mouri's brilliant deductions while "asleep" were witnessed all over the country.
The TV station's ratings naturally soared.
Everyone in Japan is a bit of a chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).
This flamboyant reasoning instantly attracted countless eyes, and Kogoro Mouri's reputation soared, transforming him from a famous detective in Tokyo into a nationally renowned detective.
It can be said that he became famous overnight!
Speaking of which, when Natsume went to visit Yoko Okino at Nichibumi TV last time, she saw Michihiko Suwa and Takashi Matsuo arguing. At the time, she thought she would remind him when she had the chance, but she forgot about it later!
