Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

In the room, the two people sat opposite each other.

Yucheng Liuli seemed to have lost all her strength, and sat opposite Uncle Maori in a somewhat dejected manner.

But if you look closely, you will find that there is a trace of relaxation on her face, as if she has let go of something in her heart.

"Kogoro, actually I have another question." Yucheng Liuli raised her head, with a bitter smile under her delicate face.

"Why do you think I'm defending Mr. Nanyun?"

"Do you also believe what that Kazami said?"

Hearing this, Uncle Maori put out the cigarette in his hand, looked directly into Yucheng Liuli's eyes, and then gave his answer.

"Mr. Nanyun, he should be your biological father."

Now it was Yucheng Liuli's turn to be stunned.

But soon, her expression softened and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. "Should I say you are worthy of being a famous detective?"

Yucheng Liuli stood up, walked around Uncle Maori step by step, stretched out her hands, put them around Uncle Maori's neck, and pressed her whole face against the back of Uncle Maori's head.

The woman's sudden tenderness and intimacy made Uncle Maori stunned for a moment.

A story from the past was also told by Yucheng Liuli.

"You guessed it right, Kogoro."

"Nan Yunxiao is my biological father."

"I was conceived when he and my mother were in a small theater troupe. My mother only became aware of my existence after they separated."

"But at that time, my mother had been dating my current father for a while, so she kept this matter a secret."

"Later, I had the opportunity to perform on the same stage with him. At the end of the performance, he held up a photo and told me that I looked a lot like his mother when she was young."

At this point, Yucheng Liuli's tone changed significantly, as if she was recalling something.

Then she continued, "Afterwards, I took the photos to confront my mother, and I got the same answer."

"When he called me again to ask me out, I scolded him severely."

"Although I know it's not his fault and he knows nothing, the relationship between parents and children is also very complicated, don't you think?"

"But do you know?"

As she spoke, tears began to well up in Yucheng Liuli's eyes and her voice trembled a little.

"He cried right in front of me."

"Maybe it's because of guilt, or maybe it's because he regrets it."

“Since then, I have often gone out with him.”

"That's why Kazami Yoshiki said that."

"After all, a father still loves his daughter very much."

"He would kill Kazami Yoshiki for me. If the outside world knew that he was my biological father, my family would never be complete again."

Having said that, Yucheng Liuli suddenly let go of Uncle Maori, and then spoke in an almost pleading tone.

"So, Kogoro, let's just leave it at that, okay?"

"Don't investigate further and don't tell the police."

"Just think of it as... helping an old classmate of mine."

"please……"

Uncle Maori, who had been acting as a listener, closed his eyes slightly, then looked at Yucheng Liuli who was about to cry, and sighed deeply.

Then he spoke slowly with a serious look mixed with a hint of tenderness.

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request, precisely because of our relationship."

"That's why I can't bear to see you being trapped in this sad lie for the rest of your life, unable to escape."

Such calm words, yet with a unique tenderness, were like bursts of rain washing away the gloom that was suppressing Yucheng Liuli's heart.

After she returned to the villa and learned what Nan Yunxiao had done at the time, Yucheng Liuli found it hard to believe.

She also couldn't believe that her father would do such a thing.

But behind this is also an impulsive act of love made by a father for his daughter.

But the price of this love is too heavy.

Yucheng Liuli did cover up for Nan Yunxiao, and even wanted to confuse the public.

But as time went by, her heart began to suffer.

This is why she chose to stay with Uncle Maori.

Is there a hint of her wanting to reveal the truth to her old classmate, or is there a desire to monitor the progress of Uncle Maori's investigation?

At this point, it’s not that important anymore.

Everything has been seen through by Uncle Maori's eyes.

And the expression on Uncle Maori's face remained firm.

Whether as a former criminal policeman or an old friend of Yucheng Liuli.

He will fulfill his responsibilities.

Just as what Shiina Yuichi said when he met him before.

This case really requires him to appear in person.

There was a brief silence between the two of them at this moment, but soon Yucheng Liuli wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile at Uncle Maori.

"You're still as gentle as ever, Kogoro."

"Then when did you know he was my father?" Yu Cheng Liuli, who had finally let go of the past, asked Uncle Mao Li another question, "Was it when he quietly called you aside and told you just now in the hall?"

When Uncle Maori heard this, he instantly recalled that Nan Yunxiao had talked to him alone not long ago.

But he didn't listen much at that time, because he inexplicably remembered something that happened a long time ago.

Then, Uncle Maori shook his head, "He didn't say that himself."

Uncle Maori ignored Yu Cheng Liuli's surprised look and continued, "Because that is not the attitude of a lover towards a love rival, but the attitude of a father worried about his daughter."

"Because the same expression on Mr. Nanyun's face at that time was also what I saw when I first met Eri's father."

Speaking of this, Uncle Maori even trembled a little, as if the scene at that time left a very deep impression on him.

When Yucheng Liuli heard this, a helpless smile appeared on her face, and then she spread her hands and said.

"Why is it Eri again?"

"It seems that I will never be able to compare to her."

"Do you know why you study so hard even when you have to wear thick glasses at school?"

Yucheng Liuli asked herself and answered, "This is all because I want to attract someone's attention."

"I thought he would like very smart girls."

Hearing this, Uncle Maori scratched his head and said nothing.

He didn't know what to say in this situation.

At the same time, Yuichi Shiina and Conan, who were eavesdropping outside the house, had different expressions.

Conan: This old man actually solved the case, and Nan Yunxiao is actually Yu Cheng Liuli's father? ?

Shiina Yuichi: Hiss~ Uncle is so lucky~

Just at this moment, Mao Lilan suddenly came over.

"Conan, Yuichi-san, what are you doing?" Ran Mouri looked at the two of them curiously.

When Shiina Yu saw Maori Ran appear, he no longer had any interest in listening to gossip and chose to betray Uncle Maori directly.

"Nothing, it's just that your dad locked the door after he went in with that big star."

"I guess they have already decided to spend their lives together privately."

"What!!" When Mao Lilan heard that her lewd old father was actually with Yu Cheng Liuli, and there were two of them, she immediately became anxious.

The next second, Mao Lilan tried to open the door, but found that she could not turn the door handle no matter how hard she tried, so she started knocking on the door hard, calling out "Uncle Mao Li" as she knocked.

Conan was very tactful and gave Ran Mouri space to perform, and at the same time he glanced at Shiina Yuichi.

I couldn't help but pray for Uncle Maori in my heart.

Not long after, Uncle Maori opened the door impatiently, but before he could say anything, Maori Ran grabbed his ear and left.

This made Yucheng Liuli, who followed out, a little confused.

"What happened?" Yucheng Liuli asked curiously.

"It's normal for disobedient children to be taught a lesson by their mothers," Shiina Yuichi explained.

Mother?

child?

There is a big question mark on the heads of Yucheng Liuli and Conan.

Shiina Yuichi had no intention of answering their doubts.

The parent-child relationship of the Maori family is very confusing~

"By the way, thank you." Yucheng Liuli suddenly spoke to Shiina Yuichi.

If we were to ask who had given her a glimmer of firm confidence before Uncle Mori, it would definitely be Shiina Yuichi.

But the confidence he gave was completely negative compared to Uncle Maori.

Shiina Yuichi shook his head gently, "I didn't do anything. You made the choice yourself."

After saying that, Shiina Yuichi turned around and left.

Yucheng Liuli didn't say anything, but just silently looked at Shiina Yuichi's back.

Suddenly, Shiina Yuichi's voice rang in his ears.

"By the way, the uncle doesn't like smart girls, it's just that the girls he likes happen to be smart."

Yu Cheng Liuli was stunned at first, then she gave a bitter smile, and then she turned her head to look at Conan at her feet.

"Just like you said, his words are not very pleasant to hear."

When Conan heard this, his heart tightened and he quickly raised his head to look at Shiina Yuichi. After he didn't see the other person, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately... Fortunately he didn't hear it.
