Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

"What? You actually invited Dad (Uncle Maori)!"

Matsumoto Akira and Mao Li Ran looked at Daidoji Tomoyo in surprise almost at the same time, as if they had heard some Arabian Nights fairy tale. Matsumoto Akira carefully approached Daidoji Tomoyo.

"I'm telling you, Chise! Not everyone can be invited into your home as a guest. As a young lady, you may not understand this very well. Wherever there are detectives, even if you are just invited as a guest—"

"All kinds of strange incidents are likely to occur, and sometimes the criminals' reasons for committing crimes are also very sudden!"

"That's right, Ming is right!" Mao Lilan nodded in agreement, and then added based on what Matsumoto Ming didn't say, "Especially for a detective like my father, compared to other detectives, he encounters more serious cases such as homicides!"

Kogoro Mori: Today is a day of loving father and filial daughter. It would be fine if you didn't introduce business to my family, but now I finally have an opportunity to eat and drink for free, and you want to turn it down for me!

In other words, Kogoro Mouri didn't know. If they knew, neither Matsumoto Akira nor Xiaolan would have a good attitude.

After all, compared to receiving various commissions and then working hard to get the commission fees, Kogoro Mori prefers receiving invitations to various banquets.

You don't have to pay anything, nor do you have to rack your brains to think about how to solve the case, and you don't have to track down the divorced family members who may have cheated.

This is an honest way of going. With an invitation letter, you can enter the venue and have a good meal, and the food is definitely not bad.

For Kogoro Mori, this kind of free eating and drinking was something he loved the most.

"That wasn't my invitation, but since Sister Xiaolan said so, is it really okay for Uncle Mori?" Tomoyo Daidoji tilted her head and looked at Ran Mori with confusion, her big eyes blinking, full of confusion.

"Don't worry, Dad won't hear it!"

Maori Ran did not mention whether Maori Kogoro would mind after hearing it, but she said firmly that she would not let Maori Kogoro hear these words.

"Did your subordinates invite you? Could it be that they want to frame you? After all, wherever Uncle Maori visits, there will be chaos!"

Matsumoto Akira looked at the bewildered Tomoyo Daidoji with suspicion, wondering if this was deliberately arranged by some ill-intentioned guy below.

"Let me ask my mother first!"

Tomoyo Daidoji shook her head. She knew nothing about this matter, but it shouldn't be the case. After all, she was the only heir to the Daidoji Group.

And more importantly, even if there really were any problems on his side, in the absence of any other heirs, the biggest beneficiary would obviously be his grandfather's Tiangong family.

But when I thought about my grandfather's side, it seemed unlikely. Who arranged this?

Tomoyo Daidoji quickly received a reply from her mother. She didn't expect that this was the list arranged by her mother.

This is understandable. After all, apart from his own mother, how could anyone else have the right to decide on a banquet held in his own manor?

Tomoyo Daidoji immediately asked her mother carefully whether she knew about the glorious deeds of Kogoro Mori?

But I didn't expect that my mother also said she knew about it, but she didn't reveal the specific reason for such an arrangement.

After hanging up the phone, Tomoyo Daidoji looked at Matsumoto Akira and the others helplessly, although it didn't seem like anyone wanted to harm them.

But it seems that my mother has some intention, and she is taking advantage of Xiaolan's father!

Tomoyo Daidoji looked at Matsumoto Akira and Mori Ran worriedly. After all, it seemed that her mother looked a bit like a bad person.

But what was unexpected was that Mao Lilan just stretched and spoke with a smile on her face.

"That's okay! Dad should be able to have a good meal now! We will do our best to see if there are any unexpected situations!"

Matsumoto Akiya nodded, turned around and explained to Daidoji Tomoyo, "It's no big deal. There have been many company presidents who have invited Uncle Mori for unknown reasons~"

"It's usually the guests who get into trouble. The chances of something happening to the host are higher, so I will try to stay with you during the party tonight. If anything does happen, I will protect you!"

Hearing what Matsumoto Akira said, Tomoyo Daidoji nodded. As long as Matsumoto Akira and Mori Ran had no other ideas about her, it would be fine.

After all, before this, Tomoyo Daidoji had never thought that there was such a method. Fortunately, after Matsumoto Akira's explanation, even if they were really invited home, the most likely thing to get into trouble would be their own family!

But if that's the case, why did my mother invite Uncle Maori over? Could it be that she just wanted to see if there was anything wrong at home?

Everything returned to calm, as if the previous conversation had never happened. However, Matsumoto Akira was not in a hurry to go back this time, after all, Uncle Maori and the others would also come.

After all, I have known Tomoyo Daidoji for such a long time, although I can't say that I have watched her grow up.

But Matsumoto Akira was not so indifferent to the safety of Daidoji Tomoyo that it was impossible for him to go back early at this time.

Tomoyo Daidoji nodded, and the others finally felt relieved. They talked about interesting things that happened in school while enjoying snacks.

While eating the snacks carefully prepared by Daidoji Chisejia, Matsumoto Akira felt regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have brought Tom and Jerry with him this time.

Although Tom and Jerry are excellent cooks, they don't cook gourmet food on weekdays.

More importantly, even though they are excellent cooks, Tom and Jerry still love delicious food, especially this kind of unique and special snack.

Matsumoto Akira gently shook his fingers, and the hourglass ring on his finger flickered slightly, and time stopped instantly.

Matsumoto Akira turned his head and saw the still Sakura Kinomoto, Tomoyo Daidoji and Ran clearly.

He glanced at them one by one, and finally his eyes fell on the mountain of snacks in front of Xiaoke.

Since there was a banquet in the evening, Tomoyo Daidoji, Sakura Kinomoto and Ran couldn't eat too much. Only Matsumoto Akira, who had a special physique, didn't care.

But Xiaoke is different. It is impossible for it to come out to eat, drink and have fun during the banquet, so it can only eat up all the food here in advance.

Therefore, there was a mountain of snacks in front of Xiaoke, even after he had a full meal.

Matsumoto Akira raised his eyebrows and quietly took some snacks from behind Xiaoke's pile of snacks where he couldn't see them and packed them up. When everything was ready, he snapped his fingers and time started to flow again.

Xiao Ke was wolfing down his food when he suddenly felt his hands were empty. He immediately opened his eyes and looked in confusion at the mountain of snacks in front of him that he had eaten a lot of.

"Did I eat so much? I clearly remember there was still a lot just now. Was I too engrossed in my snack?"

Sakura Kinomoto also noticed Xiaoke's puzzled look at this time. After seeing that there were so many less snacks on her plate, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and said in surprise.

"Xiao Ke, you eat too fast. I remember there was such a big plate just now!"

"I seem to have eaten a little faster, but I don't feel that full~"

Xiao Ke patted her belly innocently, and her stomach made a "gurgling" sound. It didn't feel like she usually ate this amount.

"Then Xiaoke, go get some more snacks from the cabinet next to you. Luckily, I thought there might not be enough, so I brought some more snacks from the banquet in advance!"

Tomoyo Daidoji looked at Xiaoke and pointed at the cabinet standing next to him. The door of the cabinet was closed but it was obviously not locked.

Xiao Ke didn't hesitate and flapped his wings to fly towards the cabinet. After much effort, he finally opened the door of the cabinet and saw the snacks stored inside.

It proudly placed one of the large plates of desserts on its head and flapped its wings vigorously as if it was fighting against the wind, and barely brought the entire plate of desserts to the table.

"I thought your wings were just for decoration, Xiaoke. I didn't expect they could actually be used to increase your flying power?"

Matsumoto Akira reached out his hand and poked Xiaoke's wings in surprise. Before, Xiaoke's wings only vibrated slightly when it was flying. The so-called vibration was more like a decoration, just to show others that its wings were moving.

But when Xiaoke flew over with such a large plate of snacks just now, its wings were flapping rapidly, as if it was a powerful engine.

"Ah~" Xiao Ke bit off most of a piece of dessert in one bite, and after calling out a few times with satisfaction, he opened his eyes and looked at Matsumoto Akira.

"How can my wings be used for decoration? But the wings in this state are purely decorative!"

Xiao Ke explained seriously that his original wings were very useful. Not only could they help him soar into the sky, but they could also provide powerful assistance in attack and defense.

However, he could no longer have such a good thing after he turned into a doll. Not only did he lose the assistance, he even lost the ability to fly.

Although he can fly now, it seems to have little to do with wings and is more dependent on his own efforts.

Unfortunately, he had very little magic power left, which was not enough to transform him back to his original appearance.

Of course, he couldn't change back to his original appearance, mainly because the Clow Cards that matched his power had not been found yet.

If he wants to restore his true perfect form, it depends on whether Sakura can find the Clow Cards he needs as soon as possible.

If he could get it back, he could truly help Sakura resist danger and be at the forefront.
