Conan Moslin

In the rare rental car that Kogoro Mouri lived in for a long time, Kurian leaned on the soft driving seat and stepped on the accelerator gently.

Mao Lilan, who was sitting behind her seat, suddenly remembered something: "Sister Li An, you..."

"Oh, it's been a day, no problem." Li An answered nonchalantly.

She didn't drink at all, that was just an excuse.

Mao Lilan didn't bother her.

The street scene outside the window moved steadily, with the car body occasionally shaking slightly.

The closed car windows blocked out the noise outside and the rising heat, sealing the interior of the car.

The car engine rumbled, the exhaust fan and the car air conditioner whirred, and Li Anhao's humming could be heard in the car.

Everything seemed peaceful.

It was so quiet that the three Maori people in the back seat had already dozed off with their heads down. Even Hirota Masami, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sleepily covered her mouth to hide a yawn.

In a daze, Hirota Masami saw with her tearful eyes a taxi passing by on the other side of the road.

She didn't see that, on the passenger seat of the taxi, was a black cat with a red bell hanging around its neck.

……

Hirota Masami felt a heat wave blowing from the right. Before she opened her eyes, she heard Li An asking for directions.

"Hello, do you know of a parking lot nearby..."

The short, white-haired grandmother kindly pointed her in a direction, then walked slowly towards home with her hands behind her back.

Li An thanked him and rolled up the car window.

As she started the car, she asked Hirota Masami, who had just woken up and immediately raised her wrist to check her watch, "How did you sleep?"

Hirota Masami was very surprised that she had slept for such a long time, and...the time from Beihua to Shinjuku seemed a bit long.

"It's...it's okay." Hearing Li An's concern, Hirota Masami immediately replied.

"From your appearance, I know you haven't slept well for a long time." Li An followed the direction the white-haired grandmother said and found the parking lot. "Is it because of Mr. Hirota's matter?"

"Yes...my father...is very good to me."

"That's great. My father is the same." Li An felt that Hirota Masami, or Miyano Akemi, was very sincere when she said this. She guessed that it was Miyano Atsushi, so she softened her tone and said, "I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Ms. Kuriyasu's..." Hirota Masami thought of something and swallowed the questions about her father.

Conan in the back row twitched his eyelids but did not open them immediately.

"I heard from Miss Yami that Mr. Hirota has four cats named 'Kuai', 'Hao', 'Wang', and 'Di'. What's the meaning?" Li An noticed Conan's unusual movements in the rearview mirror and changed the subject, "Why did he give the cats these names?"

Hirota Masami hesitated: "He...he didn't tell me this..."

"Maybe it's because of a hobby?" Li An "guessed", "For example, a favorite star, favorite food, or a favorite place?"

She thought: "For example, my family's Citron was named by one of my elders because she liked the smell of citron."

"I don't quite understand this..." A drop of sweat fell on Hirota Masami's forehead, but she had no way to answer.

"Really?" Li An didn't ask any more questions because he had found a parking space.

Her eyes passed Conan in the rearview mirror, looked out the car window, and then slowly backed the car into the parking space.

He turned off the car and woke up the three people... two of them who were sleeping more soundly than Yamei in the back seat.

Just now, Conan felt that there was something wrong with Hirota Masami.

From the previous conversation, we can tell that she should have a good relationship with her father, but she only knows the cat's name.

Even if she didn't know the meaning, she should know what her father's preferences were, but she still said she didn't know.

So when he felt the car had completely stopped, his little hand quietly pinched the sticker-like locator on the button.

When Kogoro Mouri, who was called out from his deep sleep and snoring softly, sat up straight with a start, and took a moment to open the door.

Maybe because I was half asleep, I stood up in a hurry and bumped my head against the door frame of the car.

"Ouch!"

He got out of the car with stars in his eyes, holding on to the door.

"Dad, are you okay?" Mao Lilan, who got off the car first, looked at him worriedly.

Kogoro Mouri waved his hand, pressed the car door and rubbed his head, waiting for Conan to get off.

Conan picked up the thin slice in his hand and jumped out of the car from his direction. Because his steps were unstable, he rushed straight forward.

A pair of hands caught him.

It's Hirota Masami.

"Little brother, are you okay?"

"Thank you, Sister Yamei!" Conan was pulled up by her and thanked her loudly.

He quietly placed the locator on his hand on her watch with his right hand.

Hirota Masami is not aware of this and she is not on guard against the child.

But Li An saw it.

Wow, this kid has really grown.

After thanking her, Conan ran back to Xiaolan.

The weather is really hot, and at this time...

Kogoro Mouri closed the car door and looked at the time.

His eyes widened slightly and he wailed, "Why is it already half past one? I haven't watched today's horse race yet!"

"Dad! Miss Yamei's commission is obviously more important!"

Li An returned the key to Mr. Mao Li and explained helplessly: "There was a car accident on the highway, and we were stuck in traffic for an hour. I saw you guys were sleeping soundly on the way, so I didn't disturb you."

She said: "So... shouldn't we find something to eat at this time?"

As they finished speaking, the three adults and one child's stomachs all started growling at the same time.

Li An suddenly smiled.

Hirota Masami said apologetically, "I'm really sorry... Let's find something to eat first. When Ms. Li An drove in, I saw a convenience store nearby."

Several people nodded.

Convenience stores have boxed bento that you can give to the store staff to heat up and eat at a nearby seat.

The TV above the store was broadcasting a horse racing competition. The competition was intense, but the first place seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

Kogoro Mouri didn't even take his lunch box, but just sat at the table and watched attentively.

Ran Mouri got a bento for Kogoro Mouri, heated it up and pushed it in front of him.

Kogoro Mouri took the lunch box and started eating without even looking at the pretty clerk in the store.

There are more fish bento here, and there are other meats as well, but the prices are a little higher.

In addition, there are sushi, rice balls, sandwiches, salads and other items that can be eaten cold.

Convenient and tastes good.

Li An was not hungry now, so she only took a salad. She also looked up at Number One on TV.

"Now we see that No. 1 is leading the way, leaving the contestants behind far behind!"

“Cross the finish line!”
