"Ahem! Matsumoto, why didn't you stay with us before? We agreed to go shopping together, but when I wasn't paying attention, you disappeared without a trace~"

Kogoro Mori put the food in his bowl and casually pretended to turn his head and look at Matsumoto Akira to ask.

After noticing that Kisaki Eri also looked at Matsumoto Akira's face, Mouri Kogoro carefully tasted the food in his bowl.

It's not that he doesn't trust Matsumoto Akira, it's just that Matsumoto Akira always has a strange feeling when he eats Kisaki Eri's dishes. I don't know if his taste is special enough, or if he has strong enough patience in front of his mother-in-law.

Even though he was eating Kisaki Eri's food, it tasted as if it was no different from the food in a restaurant outside.

Fortunately, after tasting it, Kogoro Mori discovered that the dish was indeed not made by Eri Kisaki, and judging from the feeling, it was probably not made by his daughter either.

After all, all the meals he had eaten over the years were dishes cooked by his daughter, so he was very familiar with her cooking skills. Even if she cooked a new dish, he could probably tell the difference himself.

But this cooking style is quite different from that of my daughter, and it is obvious that she has been professionally trained.

That should be——

Kogoro Mouri looked at Busujima Yako who was eating quietly on the side. He didn't quite understand why this young lady came over to him.

What's more important is that he didn't remember any deep relationship between Dokujima Yako and them. Could it be that when he didn't notice, Xiaolan and Dokujima Yako had established a very deep friendship?

But he hasn't told this to his old father yet, Mouri Kogoro sighed, this little cotton jacket has been leaking a lot recently!

As for Suzuki Sonoko on the other side, she has come to eat for free countless times. It is a very normal thing and there is no need to worry about it at all.

This young lady really doesn't consider herself an outsider at all. If my family wasn't also wealthy, I really wouldn't be able to keep a normal mentality facing such a young lady.

"This is a complete coincidence. Uncle, you have participated in the school festival before. At that time, Xiaolan and I stayed together for a long time. This time is just an accident!"

Matsumoto Akira responded very calmly, just as he said, this was really just an unexpected situation.

There is not much time left this week, and after one or two days, everything will be fine.

Of course, Kogoro Mori was aware of this situation, and what he said was mainly to temporarily divert his wife's attention.

Kogoro Mouri picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and after he finished all the wine in the glass in one gulp, he laughed heartily with satisfaction.

"I still prefer iced beer to my taste. It tastes much better than sake or red wine."

"Dad, you should be careful when you drink. I'm not the only one in this house right now!"

Xiaolan narrowed her eyes and her face suddenly turned red. It seemed that after taking this sip of beer, Kogoro Mouri, who was a little drunk, sobered up instantly.

He waved his hands awkwardly, looking at his daughter and the female classmates around him, wanting to establish his dignity as a father, but when he saw his daughter's expression, he retracted his hand awkwardly.

Forget it. Anyway, I have never had any authority as a father in front of my daughter. Maybe I had it when she was young?

"By the way, uncle, are there any cases entrusted these days?"

Matsumoto Akira wanted to help Kogoro Mori change the subject, but also wanted to see whether the laws of detectives in this world were still valid under the current circumstances.

"In the past two days, there have indeed been quite a lot of things happening in the past two days. I have only received one case, and it was just a divorce and cheating case. Although in the end it inexplicably turned into a murder of passion?"

Kogoro Mouri touched his chin and recalled what had happened in the past few days. At the beginning, it was fine as he just received various cases and handled them normally.

And because Conan went to school, the number of murder cases he encountered decreased. Unfortunately, he later married the daughter of his old boss and possible relative-in-law Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

I asked for leave for Conan. Actually, I was quite worried that asking for leave for Conan would lead to some strange cases at the wedding scene.

In the end, it turned out that I was worrying too much. There was indeed no strange case at the wedding scene. There were just two monsters and a giant from alien space.

At first, I thought that Conan's skills had improved and were no longer limited to just instigating people to kill. He began to expand his skills to let monsters kill people, and he could kill more people at one time.

Later I realized that I was overthinking it. Those monsters had nothing to do with Conan. They just suddenly appeared inexplicably in the past few days.

And Conan later brought him a new surprise, that is, this kind of monster had already appeared and everyone around was in panic.

There were actually people who asked him to investigate infidelity and the like. When he received the case, Kogoro Mouri realized that something was wrong.

After all, unless it is your own arrangement, it has reached the point where it has to be carried out, and the arrow is on the string and has to be shot.

Otherwise, since the big monsters outside are already rampant, you should more or less pay attention to your own safety. It is best not to do things like cheating during this period.

It would be great if you could just stay at home and be more safe.

Anyone who dares to go against the wind and ask me to investigate at this time will usually get into trouble. As expected, the so-called cheating investigation later turned into a murder case.

This was the strange case I encountered after returning home because my wedding was interrupted yesterday. I didn't encounter it today because I was attending a school festival.

Otherwise, you might encounter some strange events. I always feel that the more dangerous the clients are, the more abstract they become.

"I thought no one would cause any trouble at this time, but I didn't expect it to be business as usual?"

Matsumoto Akira raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Conan's halo was still there, and it was also very shining.

Even after entering his own copy state, Conan was only partially affected.

However, this time, his weekly copy was much more efficient than Conan's, not to mention the heavy casualties caused by the monsters and aliens that came out to cause trouble these times.

The number of kills by Conan during this period was already more than the number of missile attacks suffered by the Self-Defense Forces that were defeated earlier.

Fortunately, no one knows that it has anything to do with him, but on Conan's side, many people have speculated that it has something to do with Kogoro Mouri.

Today's dinner went smoothly. There were no unexpected situations or sudden commissions.

After the meal, Xiaolan helped Eri Kisaki to wash the dishes, while Matsumoto Akira got up to send Busujima Kazuko and Suzuki Sonoko away.

The Haibara sisters continued watching TV with Conan and would wait for a while before going home with Matsumoto Akira and the others.

As for Kogoro Mouri, who had dominated the TV before, because the atmosphere of the chat was good and no one stopped him, Kogoro Mouri drank too much and was completely unconscious at this time.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Goodbye, Matsumoto~"

Suzuki Sonoko walked very fast. As soon as she got off the car, she saw the car parked at the door. The driver was standing in front of the car door and after seeing her, he immediately opened the back door.

"Walk slowly! Be careful on the road!"

Matsumoto Akira waved to Suzuki Sonoko, who turned around and ran to her own car. The driver closed the door and bowed to Matsumoto Akira and the others.

Soon, the car carrying Suzuki Sonoko drove out.

"Where's your car?"

Matsumoto Akira turned his head and glanced around the Mori Detective Agency, but found that he did not see the car of Busujima Yako's family.

"Although my family has been around for a long time, we are not as wealthy as the Suzuki Group. Of course, I went home by myself."

Dudao Yazi smiled gently. She had specially used her cell phone to inform her driver today that he didn't need to come to pick her up.

"Oh, is that so? Then wait a moment, I'll get you a taxi back!"

Matsumoto Akira blinked his eyes. There were still quite a few taxis around, but simply because taxi fares were too expensive, most people would never think of taking a taxi.

"Really? Matsumoto-san doesn't worry about my safety? Ever since he became a swordsman, he doesn't want to come to our house~"

The somewhat resentful voice of Busujima Yaji made Matsumoto Akira shudder, and he shook his head feeling uncomfortable all over.

"Please! Can you please speak a little more normally? It always makes me feel weird when you speak in this tone~"

Matsumoto Akira said this, and after seeing Busujima Yako's deliberately pretended expression return to normal, he added.

"Besides, the taxi drivers nowadays are generally in their 50s or 60s. Let's not even talk about their age. Even if they were middle-aged men, could they get anything out of you?"

"Be careful or I'll sue you for slander~ But since it's your arrangement, I'll naturally obey!"

Busujima Yazi suddenly returned to normal, even the way he addressed her returned to his original form.

"I can't help it. If I had driven here, maybe I could have given you a ride, but I didn't drive this time, and I had to walk back home~"

Matsumoto Akira spread his hands. Taxis in Japan are really expensive. Although they are not so expensive that you cannot afford to take one, most people would never want to take a taxi.
