Afternoon, inside the Maori Detective Agency.

"Hey, Dad, hurry up and get ready to go out, let's go to the movies together." Xiaolan pulled Maori and acted like a spoiled child: "Conan is at the doctor's house today, so you have to accompany me."

"I'm not going. You can go with that beautiful lady named Lu Xin." Maori said reluctantly, resting his arms on his head and holding a cigarette in his mouth.

"Why?" Xiaolan was puzzled: "This is a new movie starring Yoko Okino, Dad, aren't you looking forward to it?"

"Then this ticket is wasted." Xiaolan pouted: "Do you know how hard it is to get this ticket?"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in, is this Lu Xin?" Xiao Lan pushed the door open and greeted her with a smile in her eyes: "Wow, Lu Xin, you are dressed so beautifully today. This little skirt suits you so well!"

"Hahahaha." Lu Xin smiled modestly and pinched Xiaolan's cheek with a smile in her eyes: "Your apron is also very cute, eh?"

Lu Xin was wearing a white pleated skirt, thick black stockings, a black and wheat-colored scarf, and light makeup. Her facial features were very delicate.

She looked around and said something ambiguous: "Eh? New... Conan isn't here today?"

"He's going camping today and won't be back." Lu Xin seemed to be testing him on purpose.

However, Xiaolan didn't hear anything unusual: "Didn't Teacher Yi Yu tell you?"

"I remember there was also a teacher named Yu in the camp." Xiaolan recalled: "He said that he wanted to complete——"

"I'm responsible for decorating the school corridor." Lu Xin replied, "So I went outside to sketch and look for inspiration."

"Mr. Maori, don't you want to come with us to see it?" Lu Xin changed the subject and asked curiously with one hand on her waist.

Mao Li lit the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath, and crossed his legs: "I don't like the plot of this movie."

"Plot?" Lu Xin tilted her head in a very cute way.

Mao Li flicked his cigarette butt, picked up his phone, and read the synopsis of the movie: "The protagonist played by Ms. Yoko is a beautiful and capable lawyer."

"Her boyfriend used to be a policeman, but now he is a third-rate detective. He was also mistakenly accused of murder. In the end, the female lawyer relied on her own reasoning to help the detective clear the suspicion of murder."

Mao Li showed a disgusted expression: "At the end of the movie, the detective hugged the female lawyer tightly."

He couldn't help but shudder: "Tell her affectionately and seriously that you are indeed my true love. This kind of tear-jerking love mystery movie."

"I'm not watching!!!"

Maori said proudly that although it was very interesting, it was hard not to associate this movie with Maori, after all, it was based on him...

"Besides." Mao Li turned around and put his arms on the sofa: "I see those movie tickets are for VIP seats, right?"

"Yes." Xiaolan looked down to confirm.

"If I remember correctly, the movie ticket in your hand should be given to you by your mother, right?"

"Yes...yes." Xiaolan nodded.

"Really?" Maori raised his eyebrows in disdain. "She must be trying to take this opportunity to mock me and tell me to learn from that detective and reflect on myself."

Lu Xin: “............”

At this point, how come your reasoning becomes useful again...

Sure enough, whenever something related to Eri Kisaki happens, whether it is good or bad, Maori's reasoning level will become significantly improved.

Xiaolan narrowed her eyes: "By the way, Dad, do you really think that you should reflect on yourself?"

Mao Li was stunned for a moment, then retorted: "Xiaolan, you are becoming more and more like Eri."

"It's terrible." Mao Li complained impatiently: "If there are more and more arrogant women like her, the world will be doomed!"

He crossed his arms over his chest, turned his head deliberately to one side, and said in a proud and arrogant way: "It's scary just thinking about it."

"Ding ding ding!" Xiaolan received a message from her cell phone. She quickly took it out and checked it.

She frowned and said, "Someone wants to add me as a friend on the chat app. Who is it?"

Hearing this, Lu Xin also leaned forward and put her face on Xiaolan's shoulder, checking the message on her phone: "Hiki Eri? Isn't this your mother?"

"But I have already added my mother as my friend." Xiaolan was very surprised.

Lu Xin guessed, "Could it be that her secretary sent it? She was trying to play a joke on you, Xiaolan."

"Is that so?" Xiaolan's face quickly filled with smiles again: "Then I'll create a group and add her in."

"Ding."

Another message came from Xiaolan's phone: "I...I was kidnapped...? Quick, help me call the police..."

"What?" Mao Li immediately stood up, stood next to Xiaolan, and said calmly: "Don't be anxious, ask first if it's a joke."

"Hmm..." Xiaolan swallowed and calmed her uneasy heart.

[Are you telling the truth? - Xiaolan]

"Ding."

[It’s true, but I don’t know where I am now——Hiki Eri]

[My secretary Kuriyama should still be in my office. I wonder how she is doing now. - Eri Kisaki]

"She said she didn't know where she was..." Xiaolan's forehead suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

"Damn it!" Maori clenched his fists and pounded the table beside him. "It seems that Yingli was kidnapped in her office."

Lu Xin silently watched Mao Li from the side and said secretly.

It seems that he is still a little tsundere, a man who says one thing and means another.

"Ding."

Another message came, sent by Eri Kisaki, whose avatar was a kitten.

[Oh no, I was kidding! I was just joking! Don’t take it seriously! —Hiki Eri]

"What's going on...turns out it's just a prank." Maori breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom is so free." Xiaolan's nervous expression also eased for a moment.

"But." Lu Xin discovered the blind spot and pointed to the phone screen: "Look carefully, their profile pictures are different, so I think."

Lu Xin rested her chin on her hand and imitated Baijiu's usual reasoning: "These two accounts should not be the same person, right?"

"Hello...Hello." In an instant, Mao Li confirmed what Lu Xin said again, and his heart tightened again: "So..."

"If the account with the profile picture is a fake one, and the account without the profile picture is the real one used by Yingli."

"Ding!"

[What did you say! I am Eri Kisaki! — Eri Kisaki]

“Damn it!!!” Mao Li angrily hit his thigh: “The account that used a cat as the avatar actually removed the avatar!!!”

[No, I am the one! —Hiki Eri]

[You fake one, stop lying here——Hiki Eri]

[You are the fake one, right? —Hiki Eri]

[It should be you! —Hiki Eri]

"Who is the mother?"
