Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Chapter 49: Attack of Maori Kogoro

"Here I come, here I come!" Kogoro Mouri answered excitedly.

Conan was stunned, watching Maori Kogoro's changing expressions, then cold sweat, then flushed face, then slapped himself, then cheered himself up, and now suddenly so excited. Conan seriously suspected that his father-in-law had become a lunatic because of what Fujiwara Hiroshi said.

Fujiwara Hiroshi looked at the various changes in Maori Kogoro with a smile on his face, and he seemed to have gained some understanding, which made his guidance worthwhile!

"Dad, you look so energetic! You're completely different from the gloomy state you were in this morning. Brother Fujiwara is the one who has the solution. As soon as you came, my dad's spirits were lifted up immediately!" Xiaolan said to Fujiwara Hiroshi while carrying lunch out.

Conan was standing beside him with his eyes rolled up in the air. If you had come out a minute or two earlier, Xiaolan, you would have seen Uncle Maori slapping himself in the face!

"Lan, please find my most handsome suit later, and then I will get a handsome hairstyle. By the way, please help me order a bouquet of 99 roses from the flower shop downstairs." Kogoro Mouri began to prepare and plan according to the advice given by Fujiwara Hiroshi.

He devoured his lunch with great effort, finishing it off quickly. Whenever Maori Kogoro was in an excited state, his eating speed and movements were always particularly exaggerated and astonishing. Although Xiaolan and Conan had seen Maori Kogoro's image many times, it was still hard to be shocked when they saw him again. Fujiwara Hiroshi, on the other hand, looked calm, as if he was used to it.

"Hey, hey, hey! How does this guy stay so calm?" Conan saw Fujiwara Hiroshi's calm expression and felt that his ability to cultivate energy was far inferior to Fujiwara Hiroshi's.

After lunch, Kogoro Mouri began to dress up carefully. Fujiwara Hiroshi also called a luxury car for Kogoro Mouri to show off. After everything was ready, Ran Mouri also cheered Kogoro Mouri up.

"Dad, come on, welcome mom back, today is the day."

"Well! Come on!" Kogoro Mouri also encouraged himself again with a serious expression.

The group drove to Kisaki Eri's law firm. The moment the assistant opened the door, she saw the leader, Maori Kogoro, holding a large bouquet of roses. He handed the roses to the door, stood sideways, raised his head at a 45-degree angle, and talked to himself. The long list of confessions petrified the assistant.

"Dad, please take a good look at the person before you confess, okay? You're talking to yourself over there. Also, please be careful when you confess. Who would turn sideways and look up at the sky to confess their love?" Ran Mouri blushed and shouted at Kogoro Mouri.

"Uh... a little nervous, Ran. I'll be careful later." Maori Kogoro touched the back of his head and said, turning to the assistant, "Sorry, I got the wrong person." Maori Kogoro said and laughed awkwardly. Conan complained in his heart. If you didn't know, you would really think it was a clown from a circus who had the day off.

After hearing Xiaolan's voice, the assistant noticed Ran Mouri behind Kogoro Mouri.

"It's Xiaolan, it's okay!" The little assistant finally came to his senses and responded, obviously shocked by Kogoro Mouri.

After hearing Ran Mouri call the funny old man "Dad," she realized he was actually her boss, attorney Eri Kisaki's husband, Kogoro Mouri, who was also rumored to be a famous detective. She couldn't understand why her boss, who was so beautiful and talented, the undefeated queen of the legal world, would marry this old man. Was she just too young to handle? The assistant looked at Kogoro Mouri, her mind full of questions and constant complaints. But Ran Mouri's voice soon interrupted her wandering thoughts.

"Um, Miss Xiaolu, is my mother in the office?" Xiaolan asked.

"Yes... yes." In front of others, I was not paying attention and was still complaining about the person in front of me in my mind. Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted. I felt embarrassed as if I was caught on the spot, and even my speech began to stutter.

That was the thick-skinned Kogoro Mouri, who didn't notice anything unusual about his assistant at all. Conan, who was standing next to him, saw it clearly. I guess the assistant was criticizing Uncle Mouri a lot in his heart.

When he arrived at the door of Kisaki Eri's office, Kogoro Mouri suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Ran Mouri.

"Lan, go ahead and knock on the door, and ask your mother to open it, so as to avoid embarrassment by making another mistake." Mouri Kogoro was a little timid when the time came. Fujiwara Hiroshi had already explained everything he needed to explain at the Mouri Detective Agency. Along the way, Fujiwara Hiroshi no longer commented on whether Mouri Kogoro did a good job or not, and just accompanied and watched him.

"Brother Fujiwara, is everything really okay? I'm a little nervous!" Maori Kogoro approached Fujiwara Hiroshi and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Brother Mori, there will be no problem if you follow what I told you! Now is the actual combat moment, and you will have to face it alone. However, no matter what situation you encounter, you must have the ability to face it alone and adapt to it. I have already planned the general direction for you. As long as you push things forward in the direction I have set for you, there will be absolutely no problem." When asked by Mori Kogoro, Fujiwara Hiroshi also began to cheer up Mori Kogoro.

A true man has the courage to face the bleakness of life and overcome all difficulties. At this time, it is useless to say anything else. The best help is to give Maori Kogoro a shot of adrenaline and muster up courage.

"Mom, are you in there?" Mao Lilan went forward and knocked on the door.

"It's Xiaolan, why are you here?" Kisaki Eri's voice came from inside the room, accompanied by footsteps, and it was known that someone was coming to open the door.

Ran Mouri stepped aside, and Kogoro Mouri came to the door, sorted out his emotions, and began to prepare to confess his love. With a "click", the sound of the door lock opening was heard. As soon as Kisaki Eri opened the door from the inside, she saw a large bouquet of roses blocking all her sight, but she noticed the ring on the hands holding the roses, and she recognized it. This was the wedding ring she also had. At the same time, she quickly realized that the person in front of her was definitely Kogoro Mouri. In addition to Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri would not provide auxiliary services for knocking on the door for other suitors.

"Eri, this is for you. I'm here to welcome you to attend the opening party tonight." Kogoro Mouri slowly lowered the rose, revealing his sight, and said to Eri Kisaki affectionately.

"Ah!" Kisaki exclaimed. She had been debating whether or not to attend the grand reopening of Kogoro Mouri's detective agency. Ever since their passionate reunion at the hotel, a ripple had begun to form within her long-enclosed heart, a stirring that had begun to stir.

"But I haven't replied yet whether you want to go and participate, so why are you here?" Kisaki Eri exclaimed in surprise.

You know, this is not something that Kogoro Mouri's personality can do. If Kogoro Mouri could express himself in this way, she would definitely still be Mrs. Mouri who stays at home today, instead of lawyer Eri Kisaki in the law firm.

"I know, Eri, I understand everything. The banquet started tonight, and you haven't refused to attend it. You must have wanted to attend it in your heart, but you were embarrassed to express it. It doesn't matter, I have already felt your feelings. As your husband, I should be more proactive, so I came here to greet you and invite you. I dressed up and showed my best side to you. I sincerely invite you. This bouquet of flowers represents my everlasting love for you. At the same time, I have specially arranged a pick-up vehicle downstairs. You are ready, we can set off at any time." Maori Kogoro blurted out the emotions in his heart during this period.

Ever since they stayed in the hotel together last time, Kogoro Mouri has been sending messages to Eri Kisaki every now and then. As Eri Kisaki is not ready to accept Kogoro Mouri again, she has been putting it off using work as an excuse. Last time, Kogoro Mouri may have spoken the truth under the pretext of being drunk, but this time it was different. He was sober and confessed directly in front of everyone, which made Eri Kisaki, who is usually calm and composed, confused.

But in the end, Fujiwara Hiroshi's words were proven true: those with emotional foundation will not become clowns and fail on the spot, because Kisaki Eri was reluctant to embarrass Kogoro Mouri in public.

"Promise him, promise him, promise him!" Ran Maoli pulled Conan Edogawa, who was forced to work, to act as the atmosphere group, and directly put Kisaki Eri in a difficult position, leaving her with no way out. Conan shouted while complaining in his heart, why do I have to play these roles, become a part of the uncle and aunt play, after all, they are Xiaolan's parents, I have to recognize them even if I don't want to!

"Alright! I agree to participate!" Kisaki Eri forced herself to calm down and replied. "You, come in."

After saying that, he pulled Kogoro Mouri into the room and locked the door.

Standing outside the door, Ran Mouri and Conan Edogawa turned into dot-eyed people, blinking non-stop. Unable to figure out whether they succeeded or failed, they both turned their heads to Fujiwara Hiroshi, hoping that Fujiwara Hiroshi could give them an answer.

"It must have worked! What are you thinking? If it had failed, we'd have been kicked out by now, not dragged into the room." Fujiwara Hiroshi said, looking at the two people looking at him. "Come on, don't just stand there like idiots. Let's go sit on the sofa over there. We won't be able to get out so quickly."

Mao Lilan and Conan followed Fujiwara Hiroshi to the sofa and sat down. The assistant originally thought that lawyer Kisaki Eri would push the flowers away with a cold face and directly and firmly reject them as usual. She was already prepared to politely ask the suitor to leave as usual, but it seemed that the situation was different this time. What happened? He just pulled her in and locked the door. The assistant was stunned for several seconds. When she saw Fujiwara Hiroshi and the others had already started to go to the sofa and sit down, she reacted.

"What would you like to drink?" the young assistant hurriedly asked.

"Give me a cup of coffee, thank you." Fujiwara Hiroshi replied politely.

"Please give Conan and me a glass of juice each. Thank you, Miss Midori." Ran Mouri also nodded in response.

After everyone sat down, the assistant came up with a cup of coffee and two glasses of juice.

"Miss Xiaolu, I guess my parents won't come out for a while. If you are not busy at work, you can come and sit with us." Mao Lilan said.

"Okay... okay!" Miss Little Green replied, heading back to the tea room to make herself a cup of coffee. What should she do? She was about to refuse, but then she realized this was some serious gossip about her boss, and her curiosity piqued. She wouldn't be able to concentrate on her work anyway, so she might as well sit down and listen to the gossip. No, no, it was about helping her boss get some information she didn't know; that was part of her professionalism as an assistant. The assistant quickly found a suitable excuse, sat down with them, and pricked up her ears to listen to the gossip!

"What? You still can't figure it out? Then it will be difficult for you to express your emotions in the future." Looking at Ran Mouri and Conan who were sucking juice with their heads down, looking like they were thinking, Fujiwara Hiroya joked.

"I really don't quite understand the current situation." Mao Lilan said embarrassedly.

"Agreeing to attend the dinner is a statement, a signal of your mother's acceptance. As for why they pulled your father in and locked the door? Because this is paid content, and we can't watch it for free!" Fujiwara Hiroshi was in a playful mood and teased!

"Hey, hey, hey~ This guy, there are minors here, and Fujiwara actually said such a thing." Conan rolled his dead eyes and roared in his heart.

The young assistant was also surprised when he heard what Fujiwara Hiroshi said. It turned out that sitting down and listening to gossip was the right choice. Was there such explosive content right at the beginning?

Ran Mao Li also has three big, thick black vertical lines on the back of her head, just like a signal tower.

"Brother Fujiwara, please stop saying things like that."

"Sorry! Sorry! Just a little joke." Fujiwara Hiroshi shrugged and said, "Let's put it this way. I heard from Sonoko that your boyfriend is Kudo Shinichi. For example, Kudo Shinichi confessed his love to you in public, in front of Sonoko and your whole class, what would you do? Would you refuse and embarrass him in public? Obviously not. If you don't have any feelings for him, you will definitely refuse directly. If you have feelings for him, you will definitely not do that. So, at this time, the emotional excitement, shyness, and subsequent responses, are these really conducive to public communication? Would you pull your Shinichi to a place where there are no people to communicate? So, this is a normal behavior. Accepting a dinner invitation in public is an expression of attitude. More communication does not want everyone to know, which is what we are seeing now, communicating alone. So I say that Brother Mori was successful. The attitude he expressed says it all, doesn't it?"
