Maori Detective Agency.

Just after eating, Mori Kogoro sat in front of the computer, ready to watch Yoko Okino's live variety show.

Not to mention a case of beer by his side and a dusty ashtray by his hand, he looked very laid back.

Mao Lilan saw this scene as soon as she came out of the kitchen, frowned fiercely, and said unhappily: "Dad! How long have you been idle at home, don't you have work to do?"

Mori Kogoro took a sip of beer, sipped the froth from his mouth, and made a joyful voice before saying, "No, what work can I have recently?"

Mao Lilan felt that what he said was not quite right. When she just came back from school, she saw a client coming to her door. In the past few days, the office has often been visited by people. There are so many commissions, but she has not seen Mo Li Kogoro go out. Pass.

Mao Lilan subconsciously felt that something was wrong with his father's recent situation, so he walked to his desk and asked seriously: "Is it true? I saw the client when I came back. Didn't Dad accept the commission?"

Mori Kogoro said indifferently: "It's just a small request to help find a pet, I have already rejected it."

Mao Lilan felt that this was even more wrong, and she asked again: "Didn't a client come to the door yesterday? Has the commission been completed?"

Mori Kogoro was a little impatient: "Kids don't interrupt the adults' affairs."

Mao Lilan frowned, and a trace of murderous aura came out of his body. Kogoro Moori sat up in a jerk, and immediately recalled some thoughtless words just now, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He didn't want to be kicked by his daughter to smash the electric pole feet in close contact.

"That's not what I meant!" Mori Kogoro said soothingly to his daughter, "I mean, those commissions are small commissions, and they can be completed casually, so don't worry."

But Mao Lilan was still dissatisfied and asked: "In other words, have you not refused to accept commissions or work recently?"

Mori Kogoro said repeatedly: "No, no, I will work hard tomorrow."

Mao Lilan nodded: "That's about the same."

Mori Kogoro wiped the sweat from his head, and saw Conan behind Mori Ran covering his mouth and smiling happily.But he didn't have the time to pay attention to that brat, or he would have to give him another blow to the head.

In fact, it is not without reason that Mori Kogoro has been a bit decadent these days. Ever since Yota Higashihara joined the First Search Section, the detection rate of the First Search Section has steadily increased. Basically, where he is present, the on-site detection rate has reached [-]%.

Sometimes when Mori Kogoro encounters a case, he just wants to play the role of Sleeping Kogoro, but the case has already been solved by Higashihara Yota before his state appears.

It's fine once or twice. After more times, Mori Kogoro felt that his title of "walking god of death" with Police Officer Megure would become a walking achievement.

As long as Higashihara Yota is present, there is no room for him to play. Even during the interview afterwards, Mori Kogoro could only have one name appear in the newspaper, and the front page turned into Higashihara Yota's dimpled smile .

This kind of change is completely different. Without the large-scale media publicity, the commissions accepted by Mori's firm recently are all ordinary cases, which immediately makes Mori Kogoro almost lose the motivation to work.

But the work still has to continue. After his daughter reminded him, Mori Kogoro cheered up and felt that he was completely changed. He said on the spot: "I will show you tomorrow!"

Seeing him as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, Mao Lilan nodded and said: "Since I haven't gone out for a few days, I have to go out for a walk today. It happens that there is not much food stored at home. Come with me to the mall."

As soon as he heard that he was going out, Mori Kogoro languished again, and he lay back on the chair: "Can you not go out?"

Mao Lilan frowned and asked: "Why? Dad, you haven't moved for a few days? Be careful that your belly grows, and your mother will hate you then!"

Although Mori Kogoro moved again as soon as Fei Yingli's name came out, he still couldn't think of it: "What's so good about going out, you will encounter a case when you go out."

Mao Lilan didn't understand: "What's wrong with meeting a case? Dad will find the truth anyway, won't he?"

If you don't want to go out just because you encountered a case, then the case will still exist, but it is very likely that because of your father's absence, you can't find the murderer, but let the murderer get away with it.

Seeing that his daughter didn't understand what he meant, Mori Kogoro sighed and said: "If there is a case, the new boy from the first investigation class will steal the limelight, and the newspaper doesn't even have our name, what's so good about it. "

Mao Lilan knew what was going on now. It turned out that Mori Kogoro felt that he was not as good as Higashihara Yota in solving the case, and felt a little unhappy because he was robbed of the limelight.

This is the feeling of a normal person. Mao Lilan didn't blame him, and comforted him: "It may be that Dad is not in good condition these days, maybe it will be fine after a while, and then it will be Dad's turn to play."

Mori Kogoro sighed loudly, obviously under pressure.

Seeing that her consolation was useless, Mao Lilan asked Conan next to her, hoping to get his approval.

However, Conan, who was secretly laughing, could only reply dryly: "Yes."

In fact, he is the one who knows what happened best. Mori Kogoro has no chance to solve the case. Isn't it because Higashihara Yota's observation skills and speed are very fast, and the other party is a police officer from the search section. If you have more rights to act on your own, the speed of solving the case will naturally be faster.

This is why the sleeping Kogoro no longer appeared for a long time.

It's just that Conan himself didn't feel anything, but Kogoro Mori felt a little psychological pressure.

……

In the end, it was Mao Lilan who talked and pulled Mori Kogoro and Conan out, ready to go to the mall to bring back some stockpiles.

After a few days, Mori Kogoro finally walked out of the room. The night air was very clear, and he could still see the stars in the night when he looked up.

Think of it as going out for a walk, thinking of Kogoro Mori walking slowly behind his daughter, just about to enjoy the night breeze, when he suddenly heard his daughter shout.

"Officer Dongyuan, I didn't expect to see you here."

Hearing this name, Mori Kogoro's heart tightened, his eyes widened and he looked forward, and sure enough he saw Yota Higashihara, who was rarely wearing casual clothes, standing in front of the three of them, and seemed to be heading for the mall too.

Higashihara Yota looked up and found that there were actually three acquaintances, so he greeted with a smile: "Good evening."

Mao Lilan greeted happily: "Officer Dongyuan also lives in the Mihua District, and he is also here for shopping?"

Higashihara Yota said: "I live not far from here, and there is nothing in the refrigerator. I want to add some quick-frozen food for emergency use."

Mao Lilan invited on the spot: "We are also here to buy things, so let's go together?"

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Kogoro Mori behind her: "Is it okay? Dad."

But she said everything, and Kogoro Mori could still refuse, so he could only spit out a few words with a disheveled face: "No problem."

Higashihara Yang caught his expression too early, seeing that Mori Kogoro didn't welcome him very much, after thinking about it, he quickly understood.

Since the Metropolitan Police Department wants to build its own image, the detective aspect will inevitably be weakened. In addition, after Higashihara Yota successfully solved the cases several times in a row, the name of Mori Kogoro appeared less and less. No wonder Mori Kogoro was not very happy.

However, Mao Lilan's attitude towards him did not change at all, and Higashihara Yota also understood that this family was not so fussy.

After being invited by Mao Lilan, Higashihara Yota walked beside Mao Lilan. For some reason, Conan also walked beside him. It seemed that Higashihara Yota was observing Higashihara Yota behind the pair of large frame glasses.

Higashihara Yota ignored Conan and kept chatting with Mao Lilan.

Ever since Mao Lilan knew that Higashihara Yota lived alone at home, because he was too busy, sometimes he didn't even have time to eat, so he could only rely on quick-frozen food for emergency.

She said: "That's good, but the other two in our family can't help at all."

Mao Lilan complained, although Conan, who often helped, knew that it was not suitable for him to interrupt and refute at this time, so he could only listen obediently.

Higashihara Yota is very warm when he smiles, and when chatting with him, it makes people feel that he can talk about any topic, just like a friend of women, Mao Lilan also talked a lot unconsciously, most of which are about cooking of.

As she was talking, Mao Lilan was almost hit by a man approaching her because she didn't pay attention. Fortunately, she was supported by Higashihara Yota, so Mao Lilan was not knocked to the ground by the strong force.

But what made people dissatisfied was that the tall man who hit Mao Lilan didn't look back, and left with a very bad attitude.

This made Mori Kogoro, who felt sorry for his daughter, immediately exploded. He hurried up and shouted at the man, "Come back! He didn't even apologize for bumping into someone!"

Higashihara Yota supported Mao Lilan and helped her stand firmly before asking in a low voice, "Are you all right?"

Mao Lilan rubbed her shoulder and found it a little painful. It seemed that she had exerted too much force, and her shoulder must have been red and swollen.

Seeing that Conan was also looking at her worriedly, Mao Lilan was still complaining about the two of them just now, seeing this scene, she smiled warmly and said, "I'm fine."

Turning to Moori Kogoro again, he saw that the tall man who bumped into him didn't turn his head back under his yelling, and simply grabbed the other person's clothes and said fiercely: "I'm talking about you!"

But Mori Kogoro did not expect that this tall man had a fierce expression, his eyes were fixed on him, and he whispered: "If you don't want to die, get out!"

Maori Xiao Wanglang tugged on the other party's collar, and immediately didn't know what to do.

At this moment, Yota Higashihara shouted in the distance: "Mr. Mori."

Kogoro Mori saw that Yota Higashihara gave him a look, and shook his head, as if to tell him not to be impulsive, Kogoro Mori could only let go of his hands, and saw the tall man straighten his collar and looked at him contemptuously. He glanced at it, then left.

Higashihara Yota came over, Mori Kogoro asked him dissatisfied: "Why stop me?"

In the situation just now, he should have given the opponent a shoulder throw to let him know the fate of messing with his daughter.

However, Higashihara Yota didn't say anything, and slapped his nose with his hand, as if he was smelling something.

Mori Kogoro was very puzzled by his actions: "What are you doing?"

Higashihara Yota asked him: "Mr. Mori, do you smell something strange?"

Mori Kogoro shook his head subconsciously.

But Conan who was beside them said, "Officer Dongyuan, I seem to smell something."

Higashihara Yota looked at Conan in surprise, surprised that he knew what gunpowder smelled like, but the current situation did not allow him to say more, he quickly said: "It seems that I did not smell wrong, that person really has gunpowder on him Taste, Mr. Mori, now we are facing a big crisis!"

"What big crisis?" Mori Kogoro still didn't understand what he meant, and was still in a state of ignorance.
