Conan: Naruto

"okay!"

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then she gently put down Dongfang Haoyue on her right side, looked at Haoyue gently and Kudo Shinichi who was standing on the right side of Haoyue, and said with a concerned smile:

"Haoyue, Haoyue, are you hungry~?

How about we go to the 24-hour convenience store to buy some delicious food~~~? "

"Okay~!"

Dongfang Haoyue stepped on the smooth floor, raised her hands high, and looked at Xiaolan happily.

"But......"

Kudo Shinichi put his hands in his pockets, looked at Xiaolan calmly, and reminded seriously:

"Officer Megure will take us home later. He may not necessarily take us to the convenience store."

"In this case......"

Xiaolan looked at Officer Memu who was taking a nap and said softly:

"If you ask Officer Megure to stop at a convenience store for a while, it should be fine..."

"it does not matter."

Officer Mu Mu sat up straight, looked at Xiao Lan in a friendly manner, and arranged in an easy-going manner:

"I happen to be a little hungry too, so I can take you to the convenience store to buy some food to fill your stomach."

Hearing this, Xiaolan looked at Officer Memu happily and was about to thank him.

"Wha...what convenience store?"

Mouri Kogoro opened his eyes drowsily and looked at Officer Megure with a confused expression.

Megure was stunned for a moment, then looked at Kogoro calmly, about to explain.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Kusaka Shuko came in a leisurely manner, stopped gracefully on the left side of Mouri Kogoro, looked at everyone elegantly, and attracted everyone's attention.

"Wait long?"

Mouri Kogoro looked at Kusaka Shuko in surprise, and asked in confusion:

"What are you waiting for?"

"Detective Mori, you may not have heard clearly the conversation between me and the Megure Police Department when we were in the wine cellar earlier."

Kusaka Yoshiko bent down and gently handed four tickets to Kogoro Mori. She straightened up, folded her hands in front of her, looked at Kogoro softly, and explained calmly:

“To thank you for helping me catch the criminal who killed Shengping, these are the tickets for tonight’s performance at midnight.

Shengping and I had made an appointment with a couple to watch the show together tonight. Unexpectedly, something like this happened. I suddenly lost my mood to watch the show...

So, I called the couple just now to tell them about the incident. After hearing the bad news, they decided without any hesitation not to go to the show.

It just so happens that the Maori Detective and his party of four can use our tickets to go to a venue not far from here. "

"Uh......"

Mouri Kogoro took the ticket in a daze, stood up, turned to the left, looked at Kusaka Shuko in shock, and asked dumbly:

"What kind of show is it?

Actually I'm a little sleepy..."

Mori Kogoro hadn't finished speaking yet.

"There will be a beautiful woman emerging from a large shell and swimming in the water."

Kusaka Shuko smiled softly.

"C-could it be a mermaid?!"

Mouri Kogoro's pupils dilated, and he guessed in extreme surprise. He quickly put the ticket in his jacket pocket with his right hand, made a fist and covered his lips, coughed slightly, and put down his right hand.

He pretended to be a humble gentleman and changed his words:

"I think I should just watch the performances and gain more knowledge. This will also be good for my future detective work."

"Etc., etc!!!"

Officer Megure stood up suddenly, grabbed Mouri Kogoro's right shoulder, turned Kogoro hard towards Megure, stared at Kogoro, and broke down loudly with an explosive mentality:

"Didn't you just promise me to go home and sleep!!!!"

"what?"

Mouri Kogoro pointed his right index finger at his chin, looked at Officer Megure in surprise, and repeated uncertainly:

"I promised you I would go home and sleep...?"

"puff."

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi stood cutely side by side on Xiaolan's right side, covering their mouths with their hands. They couldn't help laughing at the friendly interaction between Moori Kogoro and Officer Megure, and couldn't help laughing.

When Megure heard the movement, he glanced at Haoyue and Shinichi subconsciously. His mood eased a little, and he stared at Kogoro intently, questioning with deep melancholy:

"Brother Maori, have you forgotten everything in such a short period of time?"

"But...but I really don't know what happened..."

Mouri Kogoro held the back of his head with his right hand and looked at Officer Megure with an innocent face.

Megure's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Kogoro's shoulders with both hands and stopped him loudly:

"Please, you can't run around anymore!!"

Officer Megure shook Mouri Kogoro's shoulders back and forth desperately, and persuaded him sincerely:

"Listen to my advice. Seriously, don't go there this time. Can you go home and have a good sleep?"

"what......"

Mouri Kogoro looked at Officer Megure in confusion, casually pulled Megure's hands away, and comforted him calmly:

"It's okay, Officer Megure!

We were just watching a show, how could we encounter another murder? "

"Ugh......"

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri had made up his mind, Officer Megure could only sigh deeply, waved his hands melancholy, and said with relief:

"You can go if you want. Anyway, I have decided on something."

"Decided......"

Mouri Kogoro looked at Officer Megure dumbly, and repeated in confusion:

"Something?"

"Arrange police officers to hide at the performance site and be ready to prevent murders from happening."

Officer Memu put his hands in his pockets and explained solemnly:

"Brother Maori, because it turns out that you will encounter murders wherever you go tonight, so I must be prepared for the possible murders that may happen next."

"Uh......"

Mouri Kogoro put down his right hand, looked at Officer Megure in embarrassment, and weakly agreed:

"You...just be happy, Officer Megure."

"Really...really have to deploy police officers at the performance venue in advance...?"

Xiaolan sat upright the whole time, looking at Moori Kogoro and then at Officer Megure with a confused look on her face, and murmured weakly:

"No... not so much..."

--------

Twelve minutes later, the night was dark.

Bright venue, super spacious hall, people coming and going.

Xiaolan's family gathered in the center of the hall.

"Fortunately, Officer Megure returned to the Metropolitan Police Department to handle matters and did not follow us to watch the show. Otherwise, how could I enjoy the mermaid immersedly?"

Mouri Kogoro stepped on the smooth tiles, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and casually glanced around the surrounding area. His eyes locked on several young men who were among the crowd and suspected of being police officers, and he complained speechlessly:

"Really, it would be too cautious for him to call and arrange for police officers to be stationed here before sending us a ride at the address shown on the ticket."
