Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

"Eh, is that so? But it's raining outside, Dad!" Mao Lilan, who was at Torada's house, was on the phone with Maori Kogoro.

Beside them, Toyama and Ye curiously raised their heads to hear what Mouri Kogoro said on the phone.

Not far away, Tatsuei Torada, the current wife of the head of the Torada family, looked at them with a smile.

"Okay, I understand, let's make preparations now." Mao Lilan sighed helplessly after finishing speaking, and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Mao Lilan noticed Torada Tatsuei who was waiting for them and said hurriedly:

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay, it's okay." Tatsuei Torada, who had been a bit mean before, completely lost the mean look he had when he met Mouri Kogoro and his group in the morning.

She tried her best to put on an amiable smile and comforted Mao Lilan: "It's okay, I don't have anything urgent.

Well, I was just about to have a late night snack, and I thought of you, so I came to ask if we wanted to come together. "

Facing the invitation from Torada Darong, Mao Lilan seemed even more embarrassed: "I'm very sorry, Mrs. Torada, although I also want to have supper with you.

But my father called me and said that no matter what, I must rush to Longwei's house now."

"Now?" Torada Darong's face showed deep surprise, and then he subconsciously looked outside:

"Is this weather going to get over now?

The roads in the village are not that easy to walk at night! "

Torada Tatsuei complained and then said as if he was completely thinking about Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha:

"If you must go to Longwei's house now, why not let me drive you there?"

Mao Lilan felt that he found Torada Darong difficult to deal with in the morning, probably because he was not familiar with him yet.

Mrs. Torada seems to be very enthusiastic now.

Mao Lilan, who has experienced so much, still seems to have not learned what it means to be courteous for nothing, and to be either a traitor or a thief.

Of course, as an officially designated angel, the kind-hearted Xiaolan will not judge others with malice.

Kind people always seem to be at a disadvantage in this regard.

Although Torahada Tatsurō had a feeling of hospitality that was hard to refuse, Xiaolan still politely declined Torada Tatsurō's "kindness".

"Thank you very much, but I won't bother you any more.

Dad said the person coming to pick me up was almost here. "

Just when Torada was a little curious and was about to persuade Mao Lilan, the servants of the Torada family hurried to Torada's side.

"What's going on? Are you in a panic?" Torada asked the servant displeased.

"Madam, a police car came outside, and two policemen said they wanted to take Miss Mori and Miss Toyama away."

"what?"

Mao Lilan, Toyama Kazuye, and Torada Darei all showed doubtful expressions.

Different from Ran and Kazuha's simple doubts, Torada Tatsuei's doubts were also mixed with a little nervousness.

On the phone, Mouri Kogoro did tell Xiaolan that someone would pick them up, but unexpectedly it was the police who came.

At this time, Mao Lilan suddenly thought of Mao Li Kogoro's last instructions to her, and then made a look of enlightenment:

"It must be Takuya-nii, he's here!"

Torada Darei hurriedly asked: "Miss Mori, who is Takuya-nii you are talking about?"

"Brother Takuya is a very powerful detective in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. There is no case that he can't handle. Only he can mobilize police cars to pick us up in this weather."

"I see." Torada Tatsuei forced a smile and said to Xiaolan: "In that case, I'll take you to the door."

"I'm really sorry to trouble you." Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuye thanked Torada Darei again.

The group of people walked towards the door. As soon as they reached the door, they heard a lot of grumbling coming from outside:

"Humph, you are indeed a detective from the Metropolitan Police Department. With just one phone call, we can come all the way to pick someone up in this weather!"

The voice sounded young and full of resentment.

"Okay, stop talking!" An older-sounding voice interrupted the young man's complaint, but he himself seemed a little dissatisfied with this situation:

"Who makes me the 'number one' in the Metropolitan Police Department? I naturally have privileges."

The door of Torada's house was opened again, and the two policemen standing outside looked a little embarrassed.

The two smiled at Mao Lilan, Yuanshan and Ye and said hurriedly: "You must be Mao Lilan, Yuanshan and Ye, right?

Officer Zong sent me to pick you up. Please get in the car quickly! "

After all, the old police officer was thicker-skinned. He smiled at Mao Lilan, Yuanshan and Ye, and opened the car door for them.

"I'm causing trouble to you." Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye Ziran heard the two people's complaints, and now they sincerely bowed to thank them.

The two police officers quickly waved their hands and said they didn't dare. After Mao Lilan, Toyama and Ye got into the car, the two police officers didn't even look at Torada Tatsuro.

Return to the driver's seat and the co-pilot start the car and drive away slowly.

Ignored by the two police officers, Tatsuei Torada's face gradually became more and more ugly. He stared at the taillights of the car driving into the rain for a long time, and finally turned around and returned to the mansion in a hurry.

The attitude of the police officers contains different information to a certain extent.

Torada Tatsuei was not afraid of the two police officers giving her cold words or even getting angry at her.

But this kind of disregard really makes Torahada feel a little unsure.

Were the deeds she had done discovered or not?

After returning home, Torada Tatsuei felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly picked up the phone and called his accomplices:

"Come to my house quickly, something seems to have happened!"
.

When the Torada family completely disappeared from the car's rearview mirror, the expressions of the two police officers in the front row changed.

The originally utilitarian smile slowly faded, and then it became a relaxed state.

Xiaolan in the back seat wanted to apologize, but was stopped by the veteran police officer in the co-pilot: "Don't worry, Maori, our complaint just now was not directed at you and Officer Zong.

In fact, the complaint we just made was what Officer Zong specifically asked us to say. "

The young police officer took over the conversation at the right time: "That's right, that's right, we heard the footsteps in the door.

Otherwise you won't get the chance to hear us complain. "

"That's right, we actually came here a long time ago. Thanks to you two for giving us this opportunity to move around, haha!"

The two police officers kept talking to each other, and they completely confused Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanhe Ye.

Since these words are not meant for myself, aren't they meant for Mrs. Torada?

But Mrs. Torada seems to be a nice person who is cold on the outside but internal on the inside?

However, after spending a long time with Zong Takuya, Mao Lilan knew that Zong Takuya must have his reasons for doing this.

Maybe there is something they don't know. After experiencing so many cases, Xiaolan also knows not to judge a book by its appearance. (End of chapter)
