The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 252: Power trip?

"He's taking a bath,"

Tomoaki Shinide's grandmother, old lady Shinide, walked in with her hands behind her back, staggering.

While walking, he was still talking unhappily.

"That guy always takes a shower before eating."

"He just likes to dirty up the bathroom water before anyone else does."

Listening to what old lady Shinide said, Shinide Tomoaki felt a little embarrassed.

It is said that family disgrace should not be made public. Now grandma is really disrespecting her dad.

"Grandma, why are you saying that again?"

Niide Tomoaki complained.

Maori Kogoro also came to interject at this time.

"By the way, being the first to take a bath is the right of the head of the family!"

As a typical Showa man, Kogoro Mori has always been a loyal male chauvinist.

For him, it was normal for a man as the head of the family to be the first to take a bath.

But who knew that the old lady would become even more upset after hearing this.

"Humph!"

"What kind of head of the family is he?"

"He's just a recruited son-in-law, but he's really shameless!"

After hearing what the new old lady said, everyone present was silent.

Even Tomoaki Shinide couldn't say anything, after all, in his opinion this was indeed the truth.

However, Bai Masong felt somewhat disdainful.

Although the old lady said it nicely, in reality, their entire family still relies on Yoshiharu Aida alone to support them.

If it weren't for Yoshiki Shinide's hard work in running Shinide Hospital, Shinide Hospital would have no source of income.

So, even if the old lady didn't admit it in her heart, there was nothing she could do about it.

Only through actual actions can Yoshiteru Aida enjoy the rights of the head of the family.

Whether it is taking the first bath or allowing him to go on to marry, it is a manifestation of his status as the male master.

Although he thought so in his heart, Bai Masong did not say it out loud.

After all, this is someone else's family affair, and everyone else has a tacit understanding of it. It's a bit inappropriate for you, an outsider, to complain about it.

At this time, I heard the old lady continue to speak, and her tone was a little sad.

"In this family now, the only one who is related to me by blood is you, my grandson."

"But even you will be leaving this home next month."

"Ah...you are trying to kill me!"

Having said that, he walked towards the door.

Tomoaki Shinide wanted to call her, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.

Old lady Aida walked out the door, and Yoko Aida at the door was still on the phone.

Seeing the old lady coming out, he hurriedly asked,

"Mother-in-law, aren't you going to have dinner?"

"No more eating,"

The new old lady said unhappily,

"Let you outsiders have dinner."

Then the old lady slowly walked up the stairs by herself.

After the old lady left, Tomoaki Shinide closed the sliding door of the living room again.

He quickly adjusted his mood and returned to a gentle expression.

"Don't mind it, grandma has always been a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

Shinde Tomoaki smiled and explained to everyone,

"The reason why grandma is a little unhappy today is mainly because dad changed the style of the bathroom from old-fashioned to European style."

"European style?"

"Yes."

Shinide Tomoaki continued,

"Especially when she saw the original wooden bathtub was turned into a bathroom covered with tiles, grandma was furious!"

"You even scolded my father. Are you going to turn this place into a Catholic church home?"

"Ahahahaha, the old lady is quite angry."

Kogoro Maori agreed and smiled.

At this time, the maid Bao Benguang also came over with a steamed tea bowl.

Just as she was about to serve tea to everyone,

The lights in the house are out!

"The...the power is out?"

Xiaolan hesitated.

Bai Masong subconsciously looked out the window and saw that the lights in the houses opposite were still on.

His voice became a little heavier.

"We are the only one without power."

"Did we trip the power supply here?"

Kogoro Maori said casually.

Baimasong narrowed his eyes. The power tripping was not scary. What was scary was that someone wanted to take advantage of the power tripping to do something.

At this time, Yoko Shinide, who was on the phone outside the door, opened the door and said to everyone in the hall with concern,

"Are you guys okay?"

"fine."

Maori Kogoro said.

Shinde Tomoaki thought about it, walked to the side, opened the cabinet,

"I remember the flashlight seemed to be placed here."

"Ah, I found it."

Tomoaki Aride took out a flashlight.

At this time, Bao Benguang stepped forward.

"I'll get a flashlight and check the switch."

"Well, thank you for your help, Xiaoguang."

Without thinking, Tomoaki Shinide handed the flashlight to Hikaru Yasumoto.

At this time, Bai Masong spoke up,

"However, Mr. Maori or I can go with Ms. Xiaoguang, so that we can both take care of each other."

Baima Song This is just in case.

After all, with Conan and Kogoro Mori, there is a high probability that something is going to happen, so it is better to take precautions before it happens.

Although Maori Kogoro didn't know what Hakuba Matsu was up to, he didn't refuse.

"Well, Bai Ma is right. We are in the dark, so it's best for us to walk together."

After hearing this, Bao Benguang stopped and turned to look at Niide Tomoaki and Niide Yoko.

However, Yoko Shinide refused with a smile.

"No need, it's just a minor problem of the power outage, let Xiaoguang go alone."

Tomoaki Niide also conforms to the Tao,

"Yes, Officer Hakuba and Mr. Maori are guests. I won't bother you two with such a small matter."

After the two of them finished talking, Bao Benguang nodded, then went out with a flashlight.

What the two said does make sense. After all, who would ask the guests for help if something goes wrong when entertaining a guest?

After Bao Benguang left, a voice came from Shinde Yoko's phone.

"Yoko, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay, maybe the power supply tripped."

Yoko Shinide said, and then she gave everyone a look and closed the door to the living room.

She was using a landline phone to make the call, so she couldn't be too far away from it. Before, the landline was right at the door of the living room, so she could open the door while talking on the phone, but now she couldn't enter the living room.

"Meiwako, Ai, please stay closer to me."

Bai Masong whispered to the two people beside him.

Although he didn't think anything would happen to the two people in the original book, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Being closer to him, he can react quickly if something happens.

Sato Miwako and Haihara Ai were also very obedient, one pinching Shiramasong's sleeve and the other pinching Shiramasong's trouser leg.

After a moment, the overhead lights in the living room flickered and then came back on.
