In Conan, we build a criminal gang

Xiaolan and others have already arrived at the hotel and are now sitting in the restaurant.

Xiaolan looked at Ji Yingli and said with a smile, "Really? It's been such a long time since I last met my husband. How could it be so slow?"

"I'm here now." Ji Yingli smiled and greeted Qin Tian when she saw him. "Xiaotian, why don't you say hello when I come?"

"Ah, no, I didn't see you coming just now." Qin Tian, ​​who was eating ice cream, suddenly heard someone calling him. He looked up and saw that it was Ji Yingli.

"Aunt Yingli, you look so beautiful today."

"You kid, you have a sweet mouth, much better than some people." Ji Yingli pinched his little face with a smile, and looked at Maori Kogoro again.

"Hmph!" Kogoro Mouri turned his head away.

"That's right, mom, can't you dress more sexily today?" Xiaolan said with a smile.

"Yeah... I can smell the old woman's flavor in Xiaolan's words." Maori Kogoro supported the table with one hand, looked at Ji Yingli with a playful look, and then spoke slowly.

Hearing this, a trace of anger flashed across Ji Yingli's face, but she did not explode immediately. Instead, she looked deeply at Maori Kogoro, then turned her gaze to Xiaolan and said in a cold tone: "Can I leave now?"

Xiaolan waved her hands quickly and said anxiously, "No, no, it's not easy for mom to come here once, and today is Valentine's Day, can't we have a good meal?"

After saying that, Xiaolan turned and looked at Maori Kogoro with a look of reproach in her eyes.

Conan secretly complained in his heart that this couple was really a headache. He originally thought that Maori Kogoro would be prepared, after all, today was Ki Yingli's birthday, but he didn't expect that he had no intention of giving a gift at all, and instead kept making Ki Yingli angry.

Just then, the waiter came in pushing a food cart and placed exquisite dishes on the table.

Xiaolan excitedly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth. After tasting it carefully, she exclaimed: "This is delicious!"

Ji Yingli also tasted it and nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's delicious."

However, just as the two were enjoying their meal, Maori Kogoro suddenly interrupted and said, "It's very different from someone else's cooking..."

After hearing this, Ji Yingli showed a hint of displeasure on her face, but soon regained her composure. She secretly sighed in her heart, and she didn't expect that a casual remark she made would make Xiaolan so concerned.

Xiaolan seemed a little nervous. She quickly explained, "Now that we know it, it's like the three of us having dinner together... The last time was on my birthday."

She hoped to ease the awkward atmosphere in this way and let Ji Yingli know that the three of them had not had dinner together for a long time.

At this time, Maori Kogoro was about to pick up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to taste, but he suddenly found that he was being stared at by Xiaolan and Ji Yingli, and he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled. He scratched his head in confusion and asked in confusion: "Why are you looking at me?"

"Haha, really? Why don't I remember that?" Maori Kogoro smiled awkwardly, trying to hide his embarrassment. He thought that he might be too hungry, so he ignored the eyes of the people around him.

Conan shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself: "This uncle is really speechless. He can even forget such a thing." He felt that Kogoro Mouri was really unreliable sometimes and he needed someone to remind him all the time.

"Forget it, why is this store so busy?" Ji Yingli changed the subject and asked curiously. She looked around and found that the store was bustling with people and full of laughter.

At this time, Xiaolan noticed something strange about Ji Yingli's neck, and she asked in surprise: "Hey, Mom, why are you not wearing anything around your neck?" She looked carefully at Ji Yingli's neck and found that the place where a necklace or other accessories should be worn was empty.

Ji Yingli looked down at her neck, then replied with a smile: "Yes, I haven't found any jewelry I like recently." She didn't seem to care about the question and just responded casually.

"Then just put a collar on it or something, just like the cat you have." Kogoro Mouri closed his eyes, picked up a piece of meat with a fork and put it into his mouth.

When Xiaolan and Ji Yingli heard this, their eyes widened and expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces.

Look, is this what people say?

At least the word "necklace" sounds better.

Even Qin Tian, ​​who was eating, shook his head after hearing this and thought to himself: This guy has a really bad mouth. We should not learn from him. It takes three years to learn good things and only a short time to learn bad things.

Xiaolan looked at Maori Kogoro with dissatisfaction and said, "Dad, how can you talk like that!"

Ji Yingli also frowned, expressing dissatisfaction with what Maori Kogoro said.

However, Kogoro Mori continued to eat his food as if nothing had happened, seemingly unaware that there was anything wrong with his words.

Xiaolan sighed helplessly. She knew that her father was like this sometimes, always speaking without thinking.

Qin Tian secretly thanked his luck that he was not that kind of person, otherwise he would have offended many people.

At this small dining table, a controversy over words was temporarily calmed down, but Kogoro Mori's words left a deep impression on everyone.

Xiaolan said embarrassedly: "He just said that. Be patient. He said that on purpose just now. He wants to give you the gift before your birthday is over."

"Really?" Ji Yingli was obviously a little unconvinced. He looked at his watch and said, "There is still an hour left before my birthday ends."

Qin Tian said at this time: "Sister Xiaolan, Uncle Maori seems to have fallen asleep, look." He pointed in the direction of Maori Kogoro, with a surprised expression on his face.

Xiaolan and Conan followed Qin Tian's instructions and looked over, only to see Maori Kogoro lying on the table, snoring slightly, and obviously had fallen asleep. Both of them felt speechless and didn't know how to deal with this situation.

"Hey, Dad, it's not time to sleep yet, wake up." Xiaolan gently shook Mouri Kogoro's shoulders, but he didn't respond and was still sleeping soundly.

"Sorry, I'd better go back to my room." Ji Yingli stood up and left the restaurant with a helpless look on her face.

After returning to the room, Ji Yingli threw the key casually on the bed, then walked to the refrigerator and said to herself: "Could it be that the necklace that Kogoro bought was cheated by that woman?" As she spoke, she opened the refrigerator door and reached for the drink.

Suddenly, there was a "click" sound, and the cap of the soda bottle in the refrigerator popped open, and the soda sprayed out directly, right on Ji Yingli's face.

"Wow!" Ji Yingli was startled and screamed subconsciously.

"This is… the worst birthday ever…" She sighed, feeling even more depressed.
