Zongman: The chef who is not doing his job

Kogoro Mouri is going to complete the commission, so Ran Mouri and Conan are naturally ready to follow him. Seeing this, Hattori Heiji also expresses his desire to join in the fun.

However, when Mrs. Tsujimura Kimie heard that Hattori Heiji was also going, her expression was unsurprisingly a little unhappy, but she did not say anything to object.

Wang Lin and Erina looked at each other.

Wang Lin (I want to go!)

Erina (Look at me!)

"Ma'am, do you mind having two more cooks tonight?" Erina asked politely, "We two would like to join in the fun, too. If possible, we can cook next time, for free!"

Tsujimura Kimie was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Erina seriously, and then his face suddenly changed, and he asked in surprise: "Excuse me, are you... Miss Erina Nakiri?!"

Seeing Erina nodded, Mrs. Tsujimura Kimie immediately showed a surprised expression: "Of course! It's an honor for the Tsujimura family!"

However, after the words came out, Tsujimura Kimie suddenly realized something and his expression became a little ugly, but in the end he did not say anything else. Instead, he smiled and invited Erina and Wang Lin to his home.

Erina didn't notice this because she had already turned around and faced Wang Lin triumphantly.

Seeing the young lady’s expression of “How is it? Am I awesome?” begging for praise, Wang Lin smiled helplessly: “Young lady is really awesome!”

"That's right! Don't you see who I am?" The eldest lady shook her head proudly, but her smug expression never disappeared.

Naturally, Wang Lin and Erina followed Mrs. Tsujimura Kimie's private car.

Of course, I told the secretary.

Poor Uncle Mori and Hattori Heiji. Because Wang Lin and Erina were there, only Xiaolan and Conan got into the Tsujimura family's car.

As for Mouri Kogoro and Hattori Heiji, they could only take a taxi. Of course, Mrs. Tsujimura Kimie reimbursed the bill, but they couldn't let Mouri Kogoro pay for it, right?

However, it was obvious that Hattori Heiji was very dissatisfied with Tsujimura Kimie's different treatment! So he was right, right? Sure enough, this woman was jealous of genius! So she complained to Maori Kogoro in the taxi.

As a result, even the uncle couldn't stand it anymore: "Enough! Stop showing off your knowledge! What on earth do you have to brag about? When the client is telling you what happened, just listen carefully! It's very rude to interrupt someone!"

"…But I wasn't wrong!" Hattori Heiji was still a little unconvinced.

"Hmph! This is a matter of politeness! Not right or wrong! Besides, what you say is definitely right?" The uncle snorted disdainfully. No wonder Boss Wang disliked this kid!

This guy! He is not confident anymore! He is conceited! He thinks he is awesome after solving a few cases and being praised by the media! He is so stubborn!

When Hattori Heiji saw that Uncle Mori was silent, he thought he was convinced by him, but he was not really ignorant. He knew that his shameless behavior just now had already aroused public anger, so he also kept silent.

On the other side, in the Tsujimura family's car, Xiaolan was holding Conan, Wang Lin and Erina were sitting in the back seat, and Tsujimura Kimie and the driver were sitting in the front.

Erina and Mrs. Tsujimura Kimie were chatting happily for some reason. As expected, there was no problem with the upbringing of the young lady. Although she was arrogant, she was very polite to her elders. Tsujimura Kimie was very satisfied with Erina! She is worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family!

Wang Lin, however, warned Conan in Xiaolan's arms: "If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, don't force yourself to endure it! Tell me right away!"

"Ah?! Oh! Got it." Conan nodded in surprise, then asked Wang Lin with a little surprise: "Brother Wang Lin, you didn't come here because you were afraid that something might happen to me, did you?"

“What do you think?” Wang Lin rolled his eyes. “The effect of liquor on children may not be immediate after drinking. For safety reasons, I think we should follow and take a look. That young man doesn’t care about this kind of thing at all!”

"...Thank you, Brother Wang Lin, for your concern." Conan's mouth twitched. He originally felt that everything was fine, but when he heard what Wang Lin said, he inexplicably felt his stomach rumbling.

(Could it be that what Boss Wang said was right? What really went wrong?) Conan himself began to doubt it, but after waking up just now, he felt a lot more relaxed!

Wang Lin remained silent. This kid probably didn’t know that he would be temporarily transformed back soon.

However, I am worried. Hattori Heiji, this fool, gave white wine to a child. Did he really think it was a good thing? What if something bad happened after drinking it? He is always impatient!

The main reason was that he had promised the Kudo couple that he would take care of Conan, but he made Conan drink white wine in front of Wang Lin. If something really happened to him, Wang Lin would feel a little guilty.

After all, he still needs to take advantage of Conan's origin points. If anything happens to the Elementary School Student of Death, it will affect the arrival of Wang Lin's origin points!

Ahem, of course, the main reason is that I’m worried about the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student!

Soon, the group arrived at Tsujimura's house, where a young and beautiful woman came up to them.

The visitor was Ms. Sachiko Katsuragi, who was commissioned by Kimie Tsujimura to conduct an investigation.

And this Miss Katsuragi Sachiko is also very straightforward and self-conscious! She directly called Tsujimura Kimie "Mom"!

Unfortunately, when he saw Katsuragi Sachiko, Tsujimura Kimie showed only impatience and asked dissatisfiedly: "Why are you here?!"

"I brought Sachiko here! I had a hard time getting my father to agree to let him meet Sachiko!" A young man, the son of the Tsujimura family, Takayoshi Tsujimura, hugged Katsuragi Sachiko affectionately and asserted his sovereignty in a domineering manner!

It’s just a stepmother anyway! Takayoshi Tsujimura said he is fearless!

However, the reality was that Tsujimura Kimie glared at the two of them with a cold look, and Tsujimura Takayoshi immediately shrank back and obeyed his heart.

Although she is a stepmother, except for the matter of Katsuragi Sachiko, the relationship between other mothers and sons is not as bad as imagined. On the contrary, Takayoshi Tsujimura has a bad relationship with his biological father.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Katsuragi Sachiko cautiously tried to change the subject: "...Are these people behind you your friends, mom?"

"What does my friend have to do with you? Also, I don't think you have the status to talk to my mother about her!" However, Tsujimura Kimie did not buy into Katsuragi Sachiko at all, and on the contrary had a very bad attitude.

Even Erina was a little confused. This lady was not such an unreasonable person! The conversation on the road just now made her feel that this Mrs. Tsujimura Kimie was a very good person!

But why, to this daughter-in-law...

At this moment, Wang Lin silently nudged Erina with his elbow. The young lady turned her head, and Wang Lin whispered, "Go and persuade her to help her out."

"What do you mean?" The eldest lady blinked.

Wang Lin thought for a moment and said, "…We are all family. Once we speak, it is like spilled water. We cannot take it back."

The eldest lady nodded. Seeing that Tsujimura Kimie and Tsujimura Takayoshi were about to quarrel, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Tsujimura Kimie's sleeve, and advised: "Mrs. Tsujimura, come on, we are all family. Once you say something, it's like spilled water. You can't take it back."

Suddenly being persuaded by someone, Tsujimura Kimie couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he realized what Erina said, a painful expression flashed across his face again, then he sighed deeply and ignored Tsujimura Takayoshi and Katsuragi Sachiko.

And apologized to Erina and everyone else: "I'm sorry, I made you all laugh."

After saying that, she didn't say anything else and led everyone upstairs to look for her husband, Tsujimura Isao.

When Takayoshi Tsujimura saw his stepmother suddenly stop, he thought she was showing signs of cowardice, so he turned around and continued to comfort his girlfriend, but he didn't notice that Sachiko Katsuragi's expression was still dazed.

(Why do I feel…) Katsuragi Sachiko couldn’t explain it, but she just felt something was weird.

Especially since she just happened to see the pain flash across Tsujimura Kimie's face. Why? Why did her mother have such a painful expression?

When they went upstairs, they met an old man named Toshimitsu Tsujimura, the grandfather of Takayoshi Tsujimura. Tsujimura Kimie subconsciously asked, "Hey, Dad, you haven't gone out yet?"

Tsujimura Toshimitsu said, "What are you talking about? I was just about to show you this fish I caught!"

After that, he took out a piece of paper from behind with a smile. On the paper was a fish. He said proudly, "How about it? Isn't this fish big?"

Although Tsujimura Kimie was not interested, he did not want to offend the old man, so he said politely: "It is indeed very big! I will be there soon, please wait for me in the Japanese-style room first."
