The Buddhist way of life of Ke Xue Le Zi

After dinner, several people left the restaurant. Midorikawa Hikaru, who had just returned from a phone call, helped support the already drunken Kogoro Mouri, while Hattori Heiji, who was forced to do hard labor, helped support the other side.

Looking at the current situation of "Sleeping Kogoro", it is hard to imagine how much trouble it would cause to solve the case.

After complaining a few words about her unrestrained father, Mao Lilan contacted the person she had an appointment with and delayed the meeting time. The other party seemed to be happy with this and quickly agreed.

The girl felt a little strange about the other party's attitude, but seeing Kogoro Maori clinging to the telephone pole and shouting "Have another drink", she stopped wanting to investigate further. She turned her head to look at her old father who could no longer stand and sighed helplessly.

"Thank you, Midorikawa-san." Mao Lilan came over, "And Hattori."

"It's okay. Are you guys okay?" Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at Hattori Heiji, who was struggling to support Mori Kogoro, with some concern, and reached out to take the man over.

"My car is nearby, how about I take Mr. Maori back?"

This place is some distance away from the Maori office, and it is obviously unlikely for a few children to bring a drunk adult man back.

Obviously, Mao Lilan also knew this. She suppressed her old father's drunken dancing and accepted Midorikawa Hikaru's proposal.

In fact, all the high school students present had the strength to take Kogoro Mouri back, but the most helpless thing was that Kogoro Mouri did not behave according to common sense at all after getting drunk. If he was not careful, he would lose control and flutter around like a duck playing in the water.

Mei Hoshimi went to help buy hangover medicine, while Hattori Heiji supported Kogoro Mori alone, and talked to Conan Edogawa casually while looking at the intersection.

The little boy lowered his head, immersed in his own world, and had no interest in the topic brought up by Hattori Heiji. He looked very different from usual and seemed absent-minded.

Mao Lilan reached out and touched his forehead, "The wind is a bit cold at night, Conan, don't catch a cold."

"No, Xiaolan." Edogawa Conan looked up and smiled, "I was just thinking about Xinghai brother."

Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, but before she could say anything, Yuan Shanheye spoke first, "Conan, are you on good terms with Xinghai?"

This question is actually a bit awkward for Conan Edogawa, because for people who don't know his identity, he and Mei Hoshimi have only known each other for less than a year, and they have not met many times, and in some aspects they are not even familiar with each other.

But Kudo Shinichi and Hoshimi Mei may be very familiar with each other.

"No, I'm just curious why I've never met Brother Xinghai's family." Edogawa Conan took a small step back, raised one hand and touched the back of his head, with the look of an innocent and curious child on his face.

"Hey? Isn't that Midorikawa a family member of Xinghai?" Yuanshan Heye asked puzzledly.

Oops.

Edogawa Conan shouted in his heart that something was wrong.

Shinichi Kudo, who has been with them for several years, naturally knows that Hikaru Midorikawa is not Mei Hoshimi or her family, but Conan Edogawa doesn't know!

Facing the suspicious look that Mao Lilan suddenly cast at him, Edogawa Conan almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face. He laughed twice, "But Xinghai brother is a mixed-race! Midorikawa brother is not."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but kick him.

The high school detective from Osaka complained in his heart, then spoke up to save the situation, "Boys just prefer to play with boys, right, Conan?"

"Yes, that's right." The young boy replied with a dry laugh.

Seeing Mei Hoshimi coming out of the drugstore, the few of them ended the topic tacitly. Coincidentally, Midorikawa Hikaru's car also arrived. The few of them stuffed Kogoro Mori into the back seat and took a taxi back.

In the taxi, Mao Lilan took advantage of the co-pilot seat, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha huddled together and bickered, pulled Edogawa Conan's sleeve, and whispered, "Conan, don't bring up those topics in front of Xinghai brother in the future, okay?"

Conan Edogawa was stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised by what Mouri Ran said. His questioning today was indeed a bit inappropriate.

And it's annoying.

So he lowered his head and said, "I understand, Sister Xiaolan."

Today he was indeed too impatient. He wanted too much to get some answers from Xinghai in order to verify some of his previous guesses.

Seeing Edogawa Conan lowering his head, as if he was not very happy, Mao Lilan sighed, raised her hand and ruffled the boy's hair, "Mei or he doesn't have a good relationship with his family, so he probably doesn't like to talk about these things. It's not your fault, just don't do this in the future."

Hearing this, Edogawa Conan was startled for a moment, and he quickly raised his head, "Sister Xiaolan, have you ever seen Brother Xinghai..."

"Yes," Mao Lilan recalled, "I saw it in the banquet hall where the incident happened before."

Banquet hall?!

Edogawa Conan's pupils suddenly shrank, and almost at that moment, he recalled the green-eyed man who was traveling with Hoshimi Mei at that time.

The man whose eyes reminded him of Gin!
