Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

Although the commission was quite hasty, everyone discovered from the information provided by Hirota Masami that the cat raised by Hirota Kenzo who was being sought was actually the name of a racehorse.

As luck would have it, there happened to be a horse racing competition today in which that horse participated.

Kogoro Mori had little interest in the horse race, but he always liked watching horse races, so if he could go there to watch the race, he was happy to go.

Matsumoto Akira yawned loudly, took Tom and Jerry with him, and moved together with Maori Kogoro.

To him it was a trivial matter, for Mr. Kenzo Hirota would indeed be found there.

As expected, with the blessing of the goddess of luck, Ran Mouri, everyone found Mr. Kenzo Hirota, who had lost contact, at the racecourse as if with divine help.

However, when Kenzo Hirota saw the man who threatened to look for his daughter Hirota Masami, his pupils suddenly contracted. This was obviously not a normal reaction when seeing a relative.

However, in the end, Kenzo Hirota and Masami Hirota did not say much, but just expressed their gratitude to everyone reluctantly.

Even Conan, who was originally suspicious of Kenzo Hirota's unusual reaction, could only suppress his doubts.

Maybe it's really not a big deal?

Matsumoto Akira looked at the time, then turned to Mao Lilan and said, "If we go back now, it will be too late to cook. How about we have hot pot tonight? The whole family will get together and the atmosphere will be more lively!"

"It's indeed a little late. Eating hotpot is a good idea, and it can also avoid the cooking part that mom is not good at!" Mao Lilan agreed without hesitation.

"So you knew that too! You didn't say a word before, and I thought you really liked the food your mother cooked!"

Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but complain that he and Conan were the only ones struggling before. He even thought that Xiaolan, who could barely accept it when she was a child, would be able to fully accept her mother's cooking skills when she grew up.

"No way, and wasn't it Ming who was the one who was most receptive to his mother's cooking when he was a child?" Mao Lilan put her hand on her cheek and said thoughtfully.

"Me?" Matsumoto Akira was shocked. Could it be that this "war" was going to burn on him?

"After all, it's your first time as a guest at someone's house. Even if the food doesn't taste good, you can't be impolite, right?" Matsumoto Akira thought back to the situation at that time and explained to Mao Lilan seriously, "As for the rest, I said that the first time, so I'm embarrassed to say it again later."

"Hmph, I think you had your eyes on Xiaolan since then! Oh no—" Kogoro Mouri spoke in a strange voice.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Kogoro Mouri was hit by an elbow and he immediately covered his stomach.

"Dad, we were only in the first grade at that time, how could we think so much!" Mao Lilan said shyly. What does a first grader know? He has not received emotional education since childhood, how could he have such thoughts!

"That's not necessarily true. Look at this kid, he knows a lot!" Kogoro Mouri covered his stomach, endured the pain and stood up, pointing at Conan beside him and said.

Conan rolled his eyes helplessly when he was suddenly called out. He just steals the limelight occasionally, so is it necessary to say that about him?

"Conan is different. He has been studying with Kudo Shinichi since he was a child. It's not surprising that he knows all this!"

Ran Mouri cleverly blamed all of this on Kudo Shinichi. After all, ordinary people can't find a senior like Kudo Shinichi to teach them.

At this time, Kogoro Mouri also came to his senses. He did not continue speaking according to his original idea, but changed the topic according to what Mouri Ran said.

"Yeah! No wonder I always find you annoying. I almost forgot that you were taught by that brat Kudo!"

Kogoro Mouri originally just wanted to pretend to slap Conan, but as he was talking, he suddenly remembered that when Kudo Shinichi was a high school student, he often stole his business.

So the hand that was clapping unconsciously increased its strength, and Conan suddenly felt stars in his eyes and felt dizzy.

Fortunately, after the shooting, Kogoro Mouri did not continue. Conan, who was a little dizzy, shook his head vigorously and quickly recovered.

"It hurts! Uncle Maori, if you want to hit someone, go hit Kudo Shinichi, why are you hitting me!"

In order to avoid being slapped on the head by Kogoro Mouri from time to time, Kudo Shinichi tried his best at this time. He did not hesitate to perform the "sacred cut" between Kudo Shinichi and the current Conan.

The three people who knew the inside story raised their eyebrows at the same time.

Well, it turns out that you, Kudo, who looks like a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, can actually do such a thing! You dare to say that your past self and your current self are not the same person just because some people don’t know the truth?

Fortunately, Kogoro Mouri would not use something he obviously didn't know to teach Conan a lesson, so he softened his attitude in response to this sentence.

"Okay, okay, next time I will just focus on beating that brat Kudo Shinichi!" Mouri Kogoro patted Conan on the head gently, finally calming Conan down.

On the other side, Mao Lilan quickly picked up her mobile phone and called her mother. It didn't take long for her to communicate with her mother.

Surprisingly, Kisaki Eri's idea was exactly the same as Matsumoto Akira's. Perhaps she also knew that Mouri Kogoro and Conan were not very interested in the food she cooked.

After careful consideration, she went to the supermarket to buy the base and ingredients for the hot pot dinner shortly after everyone went out.

Upon hearing the news, Conan and Kogoro Mouri were relieved. No matter what, as long as it wasn't Eri Kisaki who cooked herself, it was fine.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan even began to look forward to it, maybe they would like hot pot in the future. After all, compared to the dishes made by Kisaki Eri herself, the taste of hot pot is still very good.

Moreover, hot pot has a variety of flavors to choose from, and you don’t have to use the same base every time. You can use different ingredients to make hot pot.

After returning home, Hibiki Eri had already prepared all the ingredients, even the seasoning plates were set out.

Several people hurriedly took their seats and began to enjoy tonight's food. This was a real delicacy!

Eri Kisaki was also very considerate and prepared bowls, chopsticks and seats for Tom and Jerry, which made Matsumoto Akira look at this aunt whom he had not seen for a long time with some surprise.

Then Akira Matsumoto turned to look at Ran Mouri who was sitting next to him. When Ran Mouri saw Akira Matsumoto's gaze, she immediately understood what he meant and gently patted Tom and Jerry on the head.

Suddenly, Matsumoto Akira understood that it must be Xiaolan who told Kisaki Eri about preparing seats for Tom and Jerry!
