Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Chapter 50 Reasoning Before the Dinner

"No! Shinichi is not my boyfriend anymore!" Ran Mouri said loudly with a red face. Conan's face was also red and hot. Sonoko is a gossip. After feeling ashamed, Ran continued, "Although the example you gave, Brother Fujiwara, is not very appropriate, but the situation is really like this. If I faced such a situation, I should also deal with it in the same way. I suddenly understood why it is like this!"

Fujiwara Hiroshi looked at Mao Lilan's mouth and said something like "not boyfriend". His mind unconsciously went back to the past while thinking about the problem. He smiled and said jokingly, "Is that so? But last time when Yoko and I went on a date at the tropical park, I saw you two on a date too. I think what Sonoko said is absolutely right."

"I said no!" Mao Lilan answered loudly, her face flushed red, and waves of hot steam continued to flow out. Fujiwara Hiroshi did not dare to continue to stimulate her, after all, too much is as bad as too little.

By then the assistant came to her senses. It was just as Mr. Fujiwara said. The other suitors were rejected directly by Lawyer Fei on the spot, leaving them no illusions. This time it was suddenly different, and she couldn't adapt to it. No wonder she felt something was wrong before. It turned out that Lawyer Fei really still had feelings for her husband, but that uncle was so disgusting, and he didn't seem to be a good match for Lawyer Fei in any way. In fact, there were many outstanding people among Lawyer Fei's suitors, and they were much better than that uncle in any way. I don't know what Lawyer Fei was thinking.

"But, Brother Fujiwara, why isn't it that Mom is embarrassed to refuse in public, so she closes the door now and warns Dad to refuse later?" Mao Li Ran was still a little worried, worried that Mom would give her some face in public, and then Dad would be in trouble when they got to the room!

"You're overthinking it. Your mother is not that kind of person. If she doesn't want to accept it, there's no such thing as pretending to agree in public and then turning around to refuse. This style of operation is a bit like your style, Xiaolan. She's too embarrassed to refuse in public, so she chooses to express her attitude in a roundabout way behind the scenes. This kind of nice-natured personality is fine in other things, but it can easily cause unnecessary trouble when it comes to dealing with feelings. Xiaolan, think carefully, last time at the Sonoko family's villa, Mr. Ota agreed to it just because you, Xiaolan, were embarrassed to refuse in public, so he assumed that you agreed, causing unnecessary trouble. In the world of feelings, if it's not suitable, just say no. Not giving others extra fantasies is also a kind of respect." Fujiwara Hiroshi analyzed firmly.

High, really high! Fujiwara Hiroshi is indeed far better than Conan in this aspect. He did not analyze Xiaolan's personality in this aspect at the villa at the beginning, and he followed her all the way and was jealous for a long time. Look at Fujiwara Hiroshi, he doesn't even need to go out to see, he can know where things are going in the villa. Conan is not convinced in case reasoning, but in terms of emotional analysis, Conan has long been impressed by Fujiwara Hiroshi, and he also records the information analyzed by Fujiwara Hiroshi from time to time, and goes back to analyze it slowly. Recently, when talking to Xiaolan on the phone through a voice changer, he has slowly begun to express some of his emotional thoughts. He can no longer be an emotional idiot.

"Indeed, if it were me, even if I rejected someone, I wouldn't embarrass them on the spot, but would explain it clearly to them afterwards. I understand, Brother Fujiwara, this is indeed my problem. Sometimes I complicate simple things." After reflecting on her own behavior pattern, Mao Lilan lowered her head and muttered in thought, then raised her head and asked, "But Brother Fujiwara, you and my mother only met once last time, and we didn't say a few words. How can you judge that her personality and behavior are different from mine? After all, we are mother and daughter. The probability that my personality and behavior are similar to hers is still very high?"

"Hahaha! That just shows you don't understand your mother's personality well enough! Let our assistant, Miss Xiaolu, answer this question," Fujiwara Hiroshi said with a smile. "Miss Xiaolu, tell me if Attorney Fei will show mercy and delay the case when facing a suitor she doesn't like."

The assistant saw that they were suddenly chatting and asked, "Is this really okay? I'm exposing the boss's privacy." Forget it, after all, she's the boss's daughter, not an outsider. The boss probably won't blame me, right?

"This gentleman's analysis is correct. There was no delay in Lawyer Fei's handling of the matter. She rejected it directly on the spot. To be honest, I was ready to ask your father to leave today after he was rejected. Unexpectedly, Lawyer Fei did not refuse today and even brought your father into the office. It's really strange!" The young assistant touched his chin and replied curiously.

"What do you think? Xiaolan, I'm right, right?" Fujiwara Hiroshi said to Xiaolan in a tone that everything was under control.

"It's actually true, but Brother Fujiwara, you are really amazing. You even know this?" Mouri Ran also found it incredible. To be honest, Mouri Ran and Kisaki Eri didn't spend much time together, and she was too young when she was a child. She didn't really know much about Kisaki Eri's character in this aspect. But Fujiwara Hiroshi had only met his mother once, but he made such an accurate judgment. It was really unbelievable.

"In fact, if you pay attention to the trash can outside the door, you will find that the flowers sent by someone were not accepted and could only be thrown into the trash can outside the door in anger. It is not difficult to find that your mother is usually surrounded by many suitors and confessors. The flowers are in the trash can outside the door, not in the trash can inside the room, which means that your mother did not deal with it in a roundabout way, but directly rejected the suitor, so the flowers appeared outside. And from the fact that Miss Xiaolu did not react much except for the initial surprise, she must have dealt with many such situations in her daily life, and it can be said that practice makes perfect. I think the initial mistake He was stunned, not because a suitor had come to his house with flowers to express his love, but because Maori's flamboyant behavior was so different from those of his previous suitors that the contrast was so striking. I imagine most suitors are usually business elites, company presidents, or fellow lawyers from other law firms, all of whom are well-mannered and gentle. I've probably never encountered someone with Maori's unique style. After all, it's hard to find another person who would start pouring out his feelings without even seeing the person confessing. "Starting from the subtle details, his analysis is linked together, almost restoring the original situation.

"Ah!?" Three exclamations rang out simultaneously. Although Xiaolan had heard Fujiwara Hiroshi's reasoning and analysis many times, every time Fujiwara Hiroshi's reasoning still surprised Xiaolan. Why couldn't she find out when everyone came in together? Fujiwara Hiroshi not only discovered so many details, but also analyzed the results accurately.

The assistant's mouth dropped open when he first heard Fujiwara Hiroshi's reasoning and analysis, and he covered his mouth with his hands. It was unbelievable. Just by glancing at the trash can at the door, just from his tone, demeanor, and expression, he had figured out so much information, and it was all correct.

Conan's expression, however, was grave, unlike that of a child his age. He'd noticed the trash can by the door, but he hadn't observed the assistant's expression as carefully, nor had he considered the two together. It seemed he still lagged behind Fujiwara Hiroshi in his ability to observe details, understand human nature, and discern subtle expressions. He'd always considered himself comparable to Fujiwara Hiroshi, always able to deduce and analyze everything Fujiwara had deduced. Sometimes, he'd be a little slower, or, due to information asymmetry, Fujiwara's deductions would be ahead of him. He'd never considered himself inferior to Fujiwara Hiroshi, but today, he felt truly inferior. Before Fujiwara Hiroshi's deductions, his state was the same as Ran and the assistant's. Conan frantically rubbed his hair, the disparity evident, a deep sense of distress. At that moment, he felt Fujiwara Hiroshi's deduction abilities were comparable to his father, Kudo Yusaku. It was all his father's fault for not teaching him this skill back in Hawaii.

"Um... may I ask who you are?" The young assistant finally remembered to ask Fujiwara Hiroshi's identity.

If it were a child named Edogawa Conan, he would definitely answer: My name is Edogawa Conan, and I am a detective.

"I'm sorry I haven't introduced you yet. This is Fujiwara Hiroshi, the eldest brother. He currently co-owns the detective agency with my father. The expansion and renovation of the agency this time were all funded by the eldest brother Fujiwara. He has excellent reasoning skills and is a very good detective." Mao Li Ran introduced.

Well, no need to introduce herself, Mao Lilan came right out and gave him the identity of a detective. And the assistant Xiaolu completely agreed. After all, Fujiwara Hiroshi's reasoning and analytical ability had already made her completely impressed. If she were a client who needed to entrust a detective with a matter, she would definitely be willing to entrust him with the matter just because of Fujiwara Hiroshi's skills.

The assistant silently wrote down this important information. The partner of Lawyer Fei's husband is a detective who is very good at reasoning and analysis, especially in controlling emotions. He is particularly insightful.

On the other side, Kisaki Eri dragged Kogoro Mouri into the office and quickly locked the door.

Maori Kogoro was also confused by the situation, not sure what Kisaki Eri was going to do. But then he thought, who cares! It would be better for him to perform better since they were the only two in the room.

"Eri, I have really changed. Can you feel my feelings?" Maori Kogoro took advantage of the moment when Kisaki Eri went to lock the door and placed the bouquet of roses in the vase in Kisaki Eri's office. Then, after Kisaki Eri closed the door, he walked over and hugged Kisaki Eri, whispering affectionately in her ear.

"See this suit? I picked it out specifically for you when you bought it for me. Also, I've put this wedding ring away for so long, I've decided to put it back on and never take it off again. I want to show everyone I'm married." Maori Kogoro continued speaking, his breath warming Kisaki Eri's ears. Even Kisaki, who was nearly forty, felt a touch of girlish shyness.

"This is not your usual style! Can you really change your lustful and obscene nature?" Kisaki Eri turned around and forced herself to calm down, trying to break free from Mouri Kogoro's arms.

How could Kogoro Mori agree to this? Fujiwara Hiroshi had instructed that they must have a heart-to-heart communication. In this way, under the stimulation of hormones, people's rationality would quickly go offline. This opportunity cannot be missed.

So when Kisaki Eri turned around to face Maori Kogoro and tried to break free, Maori Kogoro took advantage of the situation and put his arms around Kisaki Eri's waist. With a force, the two of them pressed tightly together face to face. Kisaki Eri instinctively wanted to resist, and used her elbows to press firmly against Maori Kogoro's shoulders.

"Let's make peace, Eri. The Mori family needs you as their wife, and Xiaolan needs you as their mother. This suit and this wedding ring are proof of my feelings. Tonight, I will hold your hand and show everyone that we are husband and wife." Seeing that Kisaki Eri did not refuse, Maori Kogoro continued to pull Xiaolan along, ready to play the emotional card.

"Hmph! You were still talking about a certain boss lady last time? Why didn't you go find her!" Kisaki Eri retorted jealously.

There is a way. Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up. He was afraid that Kisaki Eri would not speak. Mouri Kogoro also smelled a sour taste in her words.

"Silly girl! How can those unimportant people compare with you? I did a lot of confused things in the past, but from now on, you are the only one in my eyes and in my heart." Mouri Kogoro said while looking at Kisaki Eri with affection.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost right, Mouri Kogoro directly kissed Kisaki Eri. In Kisaki Eri's wide-open eyes, Mouri Kogoro leaned close to her and started asking for a kiss. After several fruitless struggles, Kisaki Eri slowly gave up the struggle, softened, and began to respond to Mouri Kogoro's hug and kiss.

......

Half an hour later, Kisaki Eri blushed and walked out of the office with Maori Kogoro. By then, the conversation with the other people outside had also ended.

"Dad, Mom, let's go to the dinner together!" Mao Lilan walked forward quickly, fearing that her mother would go back on her decision.

"I understand, Xiaolan. Please accompany me home to change into my dress first." Kisaki Eri calmed down and said calmly.

When Mao Lilan heard that Kisaki Eri really agreed, she became even more excited and thrilled.

"Hmm! Then let's go to Eri's house first." Kogoro Mouri coughed, then called everyone to get ready to set off together.

"Okay, let's go now. Xiaolu, I'll leave the office to you. If there are any work matters, please put them on hold for now and I'll come back to deal with them tomorrow." Kisaki Eri made a brief explanation before leaving.

"I understand, Lawyer Fei, just leave it to me." The young assistant replied, thinking that it seemed that his boss really did have special feelings for this seemingly rough uncle.
