Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

"Ran, you're still a child, how is this possible?" Before Ran could speak, Maori Kogoro came out to answer for her.

"Hmph! Who said I don't have someone I like? You don't understand me at all! Right, Conan?" When Xiaolan heard Kogoro Mouri say that she was still a child, she became unhappy and directly retorted to express her dissatisfaction.

"Hmm... Hmm..." Conan blushed as he heard Ran say that. "No!?" "Can you be more restrained, kid? Why are you blushing? You're Conan now, okay?"

"Brother Maori, stop lying to yourself. You know, don't you? Last time at that diplomat's house, your precious daughter was seduced away by that brat Kudo Shinichi!"

At this time, Fujiwara Hiroshi also came out to fan the flames and directly irritated Kogoro Mori.

"What!? There is such a thing? Ran, is this true?" When Kogoro Mouri heard the news, he almost jumped up and down and asked loudly.

"They are all high school students, it's normal to have a love partner!" The more excited Kogoro Mouri became, the more angrily Ran spoke. Only Conan was laughing in his heart, his face so red that steam was coming out of it.

"Really? What kind of person is he?" Hatamoto Natsue ignored Kogoro Mori, whose veins were bulging next to him, and instead asked about the person Xiaolan liked in a very gossipy manner.

As expected, everyone likes to hear gossip. Only in the world where Kogoro Mouri was injured did Xiaolan begin to think of Kudo Shinichi in her mind, and then introduced him to Hatamoto Natsue.

"He's not only smart, but also a great soccer player, handsome, and very reliable!"

As Xiaolan introduced him, Conan touched the back of his head embarrassedly, blushed, and then laughed out loud.

"Why are you blushing?" Kogoro Mouri, who was in a bad mood, saw this and asked Conan directly.

"Moreover, he is a famous detective who is not inferior to my dad!" Xiaolan was still immersed in chatting with Hatamoto Natsue and did not notice the conversation between Mouri Kogoro and Conan at all.

As for why Xiaolan only mentioned that he was not inferior to Mouri Kogoro, on the one hand, the sleeping Kogoro is indeed Kudo Shinichi's pseudonym, and of course he is not inferior to Mouri Kogoro.

On the other hand, Fujiwara Hiroshi, who is also an excellent detective, is stronger than Kudo Shinichi, and Fujiwara Hiroshi is relatively low-key, as can be seen from his willingness to attribute the credit to Mouri Kogoro.

So when Xiaolan made the analogy, she subconsciously chose Kogoro Mori and ignored the stronger Fujiwara Hiroshi.

"So, who is your father?" When Hatamoto Natsue heard Xiaolan say this, he was obviously stunned, and then he immediately asked about the identity of Mori Kogoro.

"I haven't told you before? My father is a detective." Xiaolan obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and introduced with her big, KISS ME eyes wide open.

However, the feedback given by everyone was quite intriguing. When they heard about the identity of Detective Kogoro Mouri, they were all shocked at the same time. Such synchronization obviously meant that something big was going on.

Everyone's reaction was so consistent that the air seemed to freeze for two seconds at this moment. Even Kogoro Mouri, who was usually slow to react, felt the strange message.

"It's strange, what's going on?" Kogoro Mouri asked the question in his mind. The situation was a little tense. It was obvious that there were two, no, to be precise, three situations on the scene.

One is the collective reaction of the Hatamoto family when they heard that Mouri Kogoro was a detective, and the other is the confusion of Mouri Kogoro's family, Xiaolan and Conan, who were puzzled by the synchronized reaction of the Hatamoto family.

As for the third situation specifically mentioned, it is Fujiwara Hiroshi. As the only insider on the scene, Hatamoto Gozo actually dislikes Fujiwara Hiroshi, and his unwelcome attitude is due to two aspects.

On the one hand, the Hatamoto Group and the Fujiwara Group are in a competitive relationship with each other. On the other hand, Fujiwara Hiroshi's obsession with detective work is no secret among the groups.

So even though he saw Fujiwara Hiroshi on his own cruise ship, who was invited aboard by Hatamoto Hokuro by accident, he was not willing to communicate with Fujiwara Hiroshi. The reason was that he had an instinctive aversion to the identity of a detective.

"Don't let Grandpa know. Grandpa hates those kinds of detectives the most. He says they're despicable guys who follow people around all day and dig into their privacy!"

Hatamoto Natsue did give an explanation to Mori Kogoro and the others. It seems that Hatamoto Gozo was irritated by this type of detective, so he hates it so much.

"Grandpa is absolutely right!" Conan felt secretly embarrassed for his father-in-law. After all, without Conan's support, Kogoro Mouri was indeed doing this type of work.

"It's not a big problem. Your grandfather should have guessed Brother Mori's identity when he saw me." Fujiwara Hiroshi said nonchalantly.

"Huh!??" As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Hatamoto family. They didn't quite believe that Hatamoto Gozo would be so calm after knowing their identities as detectives.

"That's natural. My passion for detective work is no secret within the consortium. With Chairman Hatamoto's wisdom, it shouldn't be difficult for him to guess Brother Mori's identity."

After Fujiwara Hiroshi said this, everyone was stunned and then remembered the rumors about President Fujiwara. A group of people seemed to be thinking about it. The most special one among them was Hatamoto Ichiro, who seemed a little more worried!

"In short, it's better not to mention this in front of grandpa! Hehe~" Hatamoto Natsue still said again with concern.

I didn't expect that there would be such a situation in the middle. Hatamoto Kitaro was even more embarrassed. What was going on? Hatamoto Kitaro felt that he was really unlucky.

"Master, it's time for dinner!" Butler Suzuki saw that Hatamoto Gozo still hadn't come to the restaurant for dinner, so he went straight to Hatamoto Gozo's door and knocked to remind him.

After calling out several times with no response, Butler Suzuki looked down and saw a flower lying on the floor at the door, stained with blood. "Flower?"

----

On the other side, Takeshi Hatamoto came to the restaurant with his head down and absent-minded, completely lacking his previous vitality and sunshine.

"Xiao Wu, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Xia Jiang immediately went up to Xiao Wu when he saw him.

"Sorry! I had something to do in the room just now, so I'm late." Xiao Wu replied a little guiltily, not knowing how to face Xia Jiang.

"You don't look well, are you okay?" Xiao Wu had the words "the sky is falling" written all over his face. Xia Jiang could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Xiao Wu.
