Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"yes……"

Seeing Hui Yuan Ai's serious face, the three children chose to compromise even though they were reluctant.

"Everyone is willing to listen to Xiao Ai!" Shiliang Zhenchun couldn't help but look at Haiyuan Ai a few more times and asked with a smile, "Is it because Xiao Ai usually looks more like an adult?"

The three children looked at each other.

"probably……"

"Haiyuan usually speaks very maturely..."

"Likewise, too..."

"Like?" Sera Masumi asked curiously, "What about?"

Haibara Ai saw that Sera Masumi was deliberately clichéd, and said calmly, "For example, I like to read fashion magazines, and I like to buy bags designed by the Fusae brand for women of all ages. Compared with the likes of Masked Superman, Regarding movies and TV series, I prefer to watch celebrity biographies and scientific documentaries...isn’t that okay?”

Sera Masumi choked, "It's okay, it's okay..."

Conan complained in a low voice, "Everyone is willing to listen to Haiyuan. It probably has nothing to do with Haiyuan's immaturity. I think it's just because she is scarier when she is angry."

The three children immediately nodded in agreement.

"Children today are precocious, and they are completely different from those of our time," Suzuki Sonoko said with a sigh, "When I was in elementary school, what I cared about most was what I would have for lunch tomorrow, and whether I would go with Xiaolan. Where to play..."

"However, I still think Xiao Ai and Conan are too mature," Shiliang Zhenchun turned to look at Chi Feichi, who had been eating silently, and continued to do things, "Brother Feichi, don't you think so?"

Chi Feichi looked at Conan and Haihara Ai and reacted calmly, "I think preferences have nothing to do with age, and isn't it great that children don't blindly follow the crowd and know what they like?"

Shiliang Zhenjun was choked again and tried to explain to Chi Feichi that she did not want to discuss education issues. "Of course this is good, but children are so precocious, don't you think..."

Thinking that he just wanted to test whether Chi Fei Chizhi knew the truth and didn't want Conan to be suspected, Sera Masaki hesitated for a moment, swallowed back the "something was wrong" that he was about to say, and said vaguely, "Don't you feel bad? ?”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it," Haiyuan Ai replied calmly, "Nowadays, the times are different from before. Now that information is developed, children must know more things than children in the past. They don't know anything. Anyone who knows will be treated as a fool in school.”

The three children nodded in agreement.

"Yes, in school, people who know a lot of things are popular..."

"Just like Conan and Xiao Ai, everyone thinks they are awesome!"

"Everyone in our Junior Detective Team is good, didn't Teacher Xiaolin say that? We are just like little detectives..."

Seeing that the topic was being discussed lightly by Haibara Ai again, Sera Masumi felt a little unwilling to bring it back. She was about to bring the topic back, but before she could speak, the topic was pulled away by Conan.

"By the way, Brother Chi, where did Uncle Kogoro go?" Conan's childlike voice said cutely, "Didn't you ask him to come with you?"

"Xiaolan called the teacher in the afternoon and asked," Chi Feichi said, "but the teacher said that he had a commission and could not come to have dinner with us. He asked Xiaolan to bring some food back for him for dinner later."

"It said he had a commission, but I thought he was a bit suspicious," Mao Lilan said with suspicion. "When I called him in the afternoon, I heard someone talking about wine, champagne and so on next to him, so I asked him where he was. He He said he was at a pool bar in Mikka Town. Maybe he just went to drink. Anyway, it was not the first time he had done this. He said he had a job, but in fact he went to drink with friends, and then came back drunk. Home!"

"There are good wines and good food here, and Mr. Chi can drink with Mr. Mori," Koshimizu Nanatsuki wondered, "If Mr. Mori just wants to drink, why don't you come over for dinner?"

"Maybe he didn't want Xiaolan to control him so that he wouldn't drink too much," Suzuki Sonoko guessed. "It's also possible that someone invited him to a bar with a beautiful waitress or a beautiful proprietress. As long as there are beautiful people there, Girls, that uncle will definitely go!"

The topic was changed by Conan. Sera Masumi thought that today was a dinner party hosted by Chi Feichi to celebrate her discharge from the hospital. She didn't want the atmosphere to get too bad, so she decided to stop there and didn't try any more. She listened to Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko complaining about Mao Li. Kogoro told another interesting story he heard in the hospital.

The group of girls became happier and happier as they chatted. After discussing it at the dinner table, they decided to go to sing karaoke directly after the meal.

Chi Feichi did not participate in the discussion and had dinner early. When the girls decided to go directly to sing karaoke, he called and asked Maori Kogoro what food he wanted to eat, and asked the restaurant to prepare the food and send it directly to Maori Kogoro. Go to the bar where you are.

After the meal, the group went directly to a karaoke shop on the same street, and even the five members of the Junior Detective Team went to join in the fun.

After playing in the karaoke shop for half an hour, Mao Lilan wanted to call and ask Mao Li Kogoro when he would come home, but found that the phone could not be reached.

In order to let Mao Lilan enjoy summer vacation activities in peace of mind, Conan offered to go to the bar two streets away to find Mao Li Kogoro.

After another half an hour, Chi Feichi contacted the car to send Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko who were tired from playing, and then Conan called Maori Lan and told Maori Kogoro's situation.

In the karaoke room, Suzuki Sonoko paused the accompaniment music and waited for Mao Lilan to call. Seeing Mao Lilan hang up the phone, she immediately asked out of curiosity, "How are you, Xiaolan? That uncle didn't mess around, did he?"

"Conan said it was just a bar where you can play pool and throw darts." Mao Lilan saw Suzuki Sonoko's gossipy face and was a little dumbfounded. "The bartender is a young and cute girl, but she is friends with my father. My dad was not inappropriate when he spoke to her, and it was indeed the bartender who asked my dad to investigate this time. It seemed that the bartender heard a strange noise somewhere in the bar while working, and was a little concerned about what the sound was. What happened, so I asked my father to investigate..."

"In other words, uncle really didn't attend the dinner party because of work?" Suzuki Sonoko was a little surprised, "He is very motivated!"

"Well, yes," Mao Lilan nodded, and then said helplessly, "But Conan said he drank. After dinner was delivered to the bar, he ordered wine from the bar and drank it while eating."

"If he drinks during the investigation, won't it affect his work?" Suzuki Sonoko complained speechlessly, "And if he drinks too much and talks nonsense, the client's impression of him as a famous detective will plummet, right?"

"I don't think so," Chi Feichi said, "I heard that Mr. Maoli got drunk many times in that bar before, and he kept getting credit at the bar. He no longer has the image of a famous detective among the bartenders. .”

Suzuki Sonoko: "..."

The uncle has lost his image a long time ago, so don’t worry about the uncle’s image plummeting...

Koshizu Nanatsuki: "..."

Mr. Chi knows how to 'comfort'. At least Xiaolan won't worry about Mr. Maori's image being lost. What she should worry about is...

"Credit, credit?" Mao Lilan's expression changed, "How much does he owe the bar?"

"I don't know," Chi Feichi said truthfully, "but the owner of that bar welcomes the teacher, a great detective, to come and drink, so he keeps giving the teacher discounts. I think he doesn't owe much. When the teacher completes this commission, Maybe we can offset the wine debt we owe.”

Mao Lilan had a headache, "I hope so..."

"Then does Conan still plan to come back to find us?" Masumi Sera asked, "Or does he plan to accompany Mr. Mori to investigate in that bar?"

"Conan said he would be back soon." Mao Lilan said truthfully.

Sera Masumi nodded and gave up the idea of ​​going to the bar to join in the fun with Conan.

Now that Conan is planning to come back, the bartender lady's request shouldn't be that interesting...
