Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 550: Request from Mizunashi Reina

Inside the coffee shop at the intersection.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to Mr. Maori."

Kiel sat opposite Kogoro Mori with a complicated expression, watching the other party put away the documents he handed over. While he felt complicated, he also felt relieved in his heart.

She is now wearing a work outfit and looks like she just got off work from the TV station...

That's right, Kiel now appears here as 'Rena Mizunashi'.

Maori Kogoro folded the paper and put it into his inner lining. He nodded seriously and elegantly, "Don't worry, Miss Mizunashi, I, Maori Kogoro, will definitely complete what you asked me to do! Tongsou——"

"Hey! Dad, why are you here?"

When Kogoro Maori was about to make a promise, a voice that was all too familiar to him came from behind him.

Along with it came a very powerful palm force...

To put it simply, he was slapped on the back, and then he fell face down on the table.

Kiel: ⊙△⊙?!
What's going on?! Enemy attack!?

This Miss 007 almost took out the pistol hidden in her bag. Fortunately, she also heard the word "Dad".

Maori Kogoro struggled to get up from the table, turned his head speechlessly, and said with a dark face:

"Xiaolan, what are you doing all of a sudden? Can't you see I'm talking to a customer? And why are you here?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Dad."

After hearing what her father said, Xiaolan felt relieved. Her dangerous smile suddenly turned kind. "Just now, I was about to go back with Sonoko, and I saw you here, so I ran over to see you... Sonoko has already gone back."

Kiel sat opposite, staring blankly at Mao Lilan pushing her father to the window.

Then, Xiaolan looked at her apologetically and said, "I'm sorry! My name is Mao Lilan, he is my father, and you are..."

"...Ah! Xiaolan? I heard Mr. Maori mention you." Gil immediately smiled again, "My name is Mizunashi Rena, nice to meet you."

...Rena Mizuno?

Mao Lilan blinked and then said "Ah", "You are not Miss Mizunashi Reina who often appears on the Sunday evening news?"

Gil kept smiling: "Hey, it's me. I'm working at Nichimei TV now..."

Jill's appearance was already good-looking, and Xiaolan now confirmed that Jill would not have any special relationship with her father, so she felt relieved and became friendly to her. However, she was still a little confused: "But, this place seems to be quite far from the TV station. Why did you choose to discuss the commission with my father here?"

"Ah, this..."

"Well, actually, I was doing an outdoor interview nearby today. I had originally made an appointment with Mr. Maori to visit his office after get off work. I didn't expect Mr. Maori to be so nice to talk to me and made an appointment nearby. I'm actually very grateful."

Just as Kogoro Mouri was about to speak, Kil took over the conversation and continued with a smile.

The former was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously: "Yes, that's it! Okay, Xiaolan, there's nothing for you to do here, go home quickly!"

"No!" Mao Lilan narrowed her eyes, put her hands on her hips, and faced Mao Li Kogoro not like a daughter to her father, but rather like an old mother to her son. "Who knows if you will go drinking again after accepting the commission? And I don't know when Conan will be back in the evening, so at least come back to the office with me and wait!"

She had reason to suspect that her father was attracted by the beauty of the hostess!
Otherwise, why would he go out of his way to discuss the details of the commission with others in a coffee shop?
"...I'm telling you! The commission here hasn't been completed yet..." It was obvious that Kogoro Mouri had no idea what to do with his daughter.

The main thing is that I can't beat them... Even if I can beat them, I can't bear to fight. What can I do? Mao Lilan said confidently: "Then I can wait for you here, and we can go back together later... I won't affect you."

Maori Kogoro:"……"

They were chatting happily, but suddenly a daughter showed up to disrupt the conversation... Who can understand the pain of being a father?
"Well, actually we've almost finished talking. It's just a minor problem." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Keel quickly tried to smooth things over, "Recently, someone has been ringing the doorbell at my house, but every time I open the door, there's no one there..."

Mao Lilan's attention was immediately drawn. "Is this someone's prank?"

Kiel shook his head. "I'm not sure about this, but this happens at a very fixed time, basically on Saturday mornings... That's why I wanted to ask Mr. Maori to help me investigate this matter."

"So that's how it is." Mao Lilan expressed her understanding, and then smiled gently, "Then don't worry, Miss Mizuno! With daddy here, the problem will definitely be solved... By the way, shall we go over there in a while?"

Kiel was slightly stunned, then quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I have an appointment with Mr. Maori... Friday afternoon, that day happens to be a half-day off, and I have something to do at the TV station later."

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something, glanced at her watch, and suddenly stood up and apologized: "Oops, it's a bit late... Well, I'll be rude first!"

Kiel hurriedly stood up, took his small bag and left his seat.

Mao Lilan stared at her leaving in a daze, muttering: "Ms. Mizuno looks very busy."

"Nonsense, she's so pretty and capable, there must be a lot of troubles that come to her at the TV station."

Maori Kogoro seemed a little unhappy about being interrupted, so he snorted and drank up his coffee.

Then, the father and daughter left the restaurant with a loving father and a filial daughter.

……

Street corner.

Kil stood quietly by the wall, watched the two men leave, took out a pair of sunglasses from his bag, put them on his face, and walked slowly in the opposite direction of the TV station.

When they were halfway there, a man came out from a small path in the middle and walked side by side with Kiel without any sense of incongruity.

"Kil, did you go to see the detective just now?" The brown-haired woman with a hat asked without any emotion.

"Well, it's the little thing I mentioned before. It's not convenient for us to handle it. It would be more convenient to entrust a detective to handle it."

It was obvious that Kiel was very familiar with the other party, and his tone was even a little lazier than before.

The other party frowned and said with a little concern: "But, there are certain risks if we hire a detective... This person named Maori Kogoro seems to be in the limelight."

"Isn't it? That's the famous sleeping Kogoro." Gil smiled, "But don't worry, Clarette, Vermouth and I have done a thorough investigation on them before. Don't forget that I also monitored him on the ghost ship."

"That's true..."

Clarette nodded. "We have to go to Nerima tomorrow to discuss the next action plan. Alex also said that the higher-ups have conveyed an order to help us modify the equipment... Don't forget the time."

"Don't worry, I have already memorized such important things."

"That's good... My mind is still full of horror movies." Clarette sighed and waved his hand, "Anyway, you've worked hard today."

"...You too." Kiel twitched his lips.

They must not know who the person who asked them to set up the entertainment and video website is!
