Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 449 Power Outage

Hearing Mouri Kogoro's question, Xiaolan was also a little confused: "Yes, at this time, the clinic should be closed. Where are the new doctors?"

"Hmph! That guy should be taking a shower now!" An old voice replied with a very dissatisfied tone.

Several people were startled when they saw a stooped old woman with silver hair walking in.

The old woman looked at the few people and continued with a gloomy expression: "That guy has a habit of taking a bath before eating dinner."

“He just loves to get the water dirty before anyone else does!”

When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he immediately smiled and smoothed things over: "Well...actually, being the first to take a bath is considered the right of the head of the family, right?"

It was okay for Mouri Kogoro not to say anything, but when he mentioned the old woman, he became even more angry: "What kind of head of the family is he? He is just an recruited son-in-law! He is really thick-skinned!"

"Grandma!" Shinde Tomaki couldn't bear to hear it anymore. There were guests here, so it would be rude to reveal all the family affairs like this.

However, the old woman ignored Shinde Tomoaki's dissuasion and continued: "And my daughter just passed away, and he married another wife not long after."

She looked at Shinde Tomaki with a trace of sadness in her eyes: 'Now in this family, the only person who is related to me by blood is you, my grandson. ’

"But you have to leave this home next month. You want me to die!"

"..." Shinde Tomaki really didn't dare to speak anymore. He was afraid that if he said one more word, his grandmother would start nagging in front of the guests again.

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, she turned around and walked upstairs.

"Wait a minute, mother-in-law, aren't you going to have dinner?" Shinde Yoko asked.

The old woman didn't even look back and said impatiently: "No, you outsiders can eat it by yourself!"

Shinde Tomaki looked at the old woman's leaving figure and closed the door helplessly.

He turned to look at Yu Gongming and others, showing an awkward smile: "I'm really sorry, please don't mind!"

"It's okay, we understand!" Mouri Kogoro said quickly.

Tomaki Shinde nodded, with a bit of sadness on his face: "Actually, my grandma hated my father so much because he changed the bathroom to a European style."

"European style?" Xiaolan was confused.

Tomaki Shinde smiled and said: "Yes, grandma was really angry when she saw that the original big wooden barrel was replaced by one full of ceramic tiles."

"So that's it!" Mouri Kogoro suddenly said.

"By the way, I have to make a call because of the class reunion, so I'm sorry." Shinde Yoko apologized and left the restaurant.

After Shinde Yoko left, several people started chatting again.

Mouri Kogoro looked at Doctor Shinde and said with a smile: "Doctor Shinde, if you are really interested in my daughter, just say it, I think you and my daughter are a good match!"

"And you are a doctor and I am a detective. If we join forces, what case can't be solved? By then we will be the Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson of Heisei!"

Conan rolled his eyes: "You're the only one who calls himself Heisei's Sherlock Holmes? Now I don't even dare to call myself that..."

Faced with Mouri Kogoro's enthusiasm, Shinde Tomaki smiled politely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mouri, I really don't have that idea, and to be honest, I don't think detectives and doctors are a good combination."

"The mission of our doctors is not to examine the corpse and find out who the real murderer is, but to save the victim's life, are you right?"

Mouri Kogoro was startled, then scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed: "Hey! I actually let you conquer an entire army!"

Akira Hanomiya looked at Mouri Kogoro and said with a smile: "If you want to examine the body and find out the real murderer, then uncle, you should find a forensic doctor."

"Uncle, I kind of regret staying for dinner now. Can you talk nicely?" Meng Yu had a gloomy face and stared at Mouri Kogoro with an unkind look.

Conan secretly observed Xiaolan's reaction and saw that Xiaolan seemed to have not heard the conversation at all and was looking forward in a trance.

Opposite her, there is only Tomoaki Shinde!

Conan's expression suddenly became gloomy: "Xiaolan..."

On the other side, after hearing what Yu Gongming and Meng Yu said, Mouri Kogoro was about to say something.

Suddenly, the entire hall became pitch black!

"what happened?"

"power cut?"

Everyone was shocked by this sudden change.

"Look, the lights on the house next door are still on. It's probably just the power outage here!" Conan pointed in a certain direction and shouted.

"Ah!" The maid Xiaoguang's scream came from nearby, and there was also the sound of something breaking.

"Hey! Are you all okay?" Shinde Yoko opened the door and asked.

"It's okay." Several people responded one after another.

"I remember there is a flashlight in the drawer, please wait a moment..."

As Shinde Tomaki spoke, he groped his way to the cabinet in the dining room, opened the drawer and started searching.

After a while...

"Found it!" Shinde Tomaki stood up, and with a "click", the light of the flashlight cut through the darkness.

"Then let me go to the main switch and have a look!" Xiaoguang, the maid, said.

"Is it okay for you to go?" Shinde Tomaki confirmed.

After all, this maid is usually reckless and doesn't look very reliable.

"No problem!" Xiaoguang assured.

"Okay." Shinde Tomaki nodded and handed the flashlight to Xiaoguang.

"Then Xiaoguang, you have to be careful!" Shinde Yoko, who was talking on the phone, warned.

"Okay!" Xiaoguang agreed and quickly left the second floor.

The restaurant fell into darkness again.

But this time the darkness did not last long, and a flashlight light came on again.

This is the flashlight that comes with Yu Gongming's mobile phone.

Yu Gongming swept his flashlight around to confirm the situation of several people.

But when the flashlight passed Xiaolan, Yu Gongming made a move.

"Xiaolan?" Mengyu's tone was full of surprise:

At this moment, Xiaolan was seen holding Tomaki Shinde's arm with both hands.

Xiaolan also saw her current situation under the flashlight light, and immediately let go of Shinde Tomaki in a panic:

"Yes...I'm sorry, I thought it was dad who subconsciously..." Xiaolan quickly explained.

"Ah! It's okay." Shinde Tomaki smiled.

Seeing this, Xiaolan quickly retreated to Mengyu, lowered her head and stopped talking.

The corners of Yu Gongming's mouth twitched slightly.

To be honest, this can be regarded as Mingke's traditional performing arts.

Let Xiaolan do something that makes Conan misunderstand and even make the audience have daydreams. In the end, the mystery is revealed. It turns out that those who made Conan jealous are actually tools prepared for Xinlan to show affection.

For example, Shinde Tomoaki, such as Okita Souji in the later period.

In the early stage, it was fine that Xinlan's relationship hadn't been made clear yet, but when they got to Okita, Xinlan had already made their relationship clear, and it was a bit of a forced trick to design it like this to pave the way for Xinlan's sugar-making.

Yu Gongming was thinking wildly when a "ta-da-da" sound suddenly came from outside.

"Eh? Is it raining?" Xiaolan asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Yu Gongming seemed to have thought of something, and immediately came to the door of the restaurant, opened the door and walked out.

"Where are you going, Hanomiya-boy?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

Yu Gongming didn't answer, but looked out the empty door with slightly serious eyes.
