Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Conan didn't have to wait long. In less than 5 minutes, Sonoko rushed into the detective agency on the second floor of the Mouri family's house. It was probably around 7 o'clock. At this moment, Mouri Kogoro had finished his dinner and had not yet gone up to the third floor to rest. He was still staying in the office on the second floor watching TV!

The TV was playing Okino Yoko's program, and Maori Kogoro took out a red ribbon and tied it on his head, fanatically chasing stars. Although Okino Yoko is now Fujiwara Hiroshi's black market wife and has given birth to a child, this does not affect Maori Kogoro's enthusiasm for chasing stars.

Meanwhile, Kisaki Eri, who was reading the newspaper on the other side, didn't say anything. After all, everyone could see what kind of person Maori Kogoro was. She could tolerate him chasing stars. At least during this period, Maori Kogoro no longer went to places like izakayas and got involved with questionable women. Kisaki Eri still had the tolerance to chase female stars. Moreover, she had been staying in this house for a long time and had more contact with Fujiwara Hiroshi. She also knew that Okino Yoko was Fujiwara Hiroshi's black market wife. It was even more impossible for Maori Kogoro to have any entanglement with her.

Kisaki Eri turned to look at Ran, who was cleaning up the housework and washing up after dinner, and felt a pang of guilt. Seeing Ran's skillful movements, she knew how difficult it had been for her over the years, taking on housework so early and taking care of Maori Kogoro. She had been planning to help, but after washing the dishes once or twice and breaking five or six, Ran quickly stopped her mother. The dinner was so dark that no one dared to pick up their chopsticks.

"Xiao Lan, water... water!" Yuanzi came over in a hurry, very thirsty! Xiao Lan quickly handed him a glass of water.

"Yuanzi, slow down..." Seeing Yuanzi drinking water in big gulps in a hurry, Xiaolan hurriedly persuaded her.

"Wow! It feels so good! I'm finally alive!" Sonoko exclaimed exaggeratedly in a low voice. At this time, Sonoko also remembered the reason for coming here.

"By the way, Xiaolan, you don't know how big a secret I learned last night. I was so uncomfortable holding it in that I ran out to share it with you right after dinner."

"What big news is it that requires me to come here? It can't be told over the phone. Why do I have to come all the way here specially?" Xiaolan said, blinking her big eyes.

Conan also quietly ran to the side of Xiaolan and Sonoko, ready to hear some explosive news.

"Of course! This news would be interesting only if it was shared on the spot! Let me tell you, Xiaolan! I'm going home to attend a dinner tonight. It turns out that my sister has a great event. Wasn't it because of the incident with Tomizawa Yuzo some time ago? So a few days ago, I completely broke off the verbal engagement with the Tomizawa family. Tonight's event is about my sister's new marriage partner, my future brother-in-law!" Sonoko shared it directly.

"Ah... Sister Ayako, has your family arranged a new partner for her so soon?" Xiaolan was also surprised. Her ex-fiancé was just sent in, and now she has a new fiancé. Is the Suzuki family so impatient to marry Sister Ayako off?

"Yeah! And you will never guess who the object is?" Sonoko said still in a daze.

"Who is it? Is it so difficult to guess?" Xiaolan also became interested at this time.

"Could it be Brother Fujiwara?" At this time, Conan Edogawa, who had listened to the entire process, made a standard innocent child's speech and returned for a limited time!

As soon as they heard the news about Fujiwara Hiroshi, Kogoro Mori and Eri Kisaki, who were originally minding their own business, also started to pay attention to the situation here!

The former, Maori Kogoro, is a partner who cares about him and is also his boss, and he played a big role in him getting Kisaki Eri back. So even if Conan just mentioned Fujiwara Hiroshi, Maori Kogoro's ears would prick up to listen.

The latter, Kisaki Eri, was merely curious about the news about Fujiwara Hiroshi. Since she met Fujiwara Hiroshi, she always found him to be a mysterious existence. The gossip about Fujiwara Hiroshi also attracted Kisaki Eri's attention at once.

"Ah!? How come you react so quickly, little brat?" Sonoko yelled, looking at the big-headed Conan kid next to her in disbelief!

"Ah? Is it really Brother Fujiwara? Unbelievable!?" When Xiaolan asked Conan how he knew it in Sonoko, many question marks filled every corner of her body.

"It's hard to believe, right? Let me tell you, I couldn't believe it either when they admitted it in front of me. How could my sister be with a playboy like Fujiwara?" Sonoko also pointed at Okino Yoko who was watching the show while Kogoro Mouri was watching.

Kogoro Mouri quickly turned off the TV. This is the reaction ability of a top "detective".

"Your reaction is really quite quick!" Conan rolled his eyes, complaining in his mind. They've already mentioned that Fujiwara Hiroshi is her sister's fiancé, and you're still watching her sister's rival's show in front of them.

"It's okay, it's okay! There's no need to overreact. After all, my sister doesn't mind, and it's okay to watch it in front of me." Although Yuanzi said this while shaking her hands, her head turned to the side indifferently and rolled her eyes.

In fact, Sonoko has always longed for that kind of exclusive love. Although she said that she would go here to pick up handsome guys, she has always kept the yearning for exclusive love in her bones. This can be seen from her constant teasing of Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi, which actually reveals her full envy. So Sonoko said that it was okay, but in her heart she kept making up stories about Fujiwara Hiroshi and speaking up for her sister!

"But... Conan, how did you guess it?" Xiaolan was also very curious. No one else could guess it, but Conan guessed it.

"It's just some simple analysis. I learned a lot from Uncle Mori and Brother Fujiwara. Sister Xiaolan, think about it, the news that Sister Sonoko couldn't wait to announce was about her sister's new fiancé. If it was still a member of a consortium family like Tomizawa Yuzo before, then there would be no need for him to come here specially to let us guess who it is! Then the person we are guessing must be someone we all know and are familiar with. Among the people we know, the only one who has such ability and is of equal status to the Suzuki Group is Brother Fujiwara Hiroshi, the chairman of the Fujiwara Group! Am I correct in my analysis? Uncle, do you want to say that too?" Conan's old habit started again. He touched his head and talked eloquently, without concealing his reasoning and analytical ability at all.

"Uh...yes! That's right! This is exactly the conclusion I want to deduce. Under my influence, Conan's reasoning and analytical ability has been greatly improved." Kogoro Mouri hesitated at first, caught off guard, and then agreed with Conan's reasoning with a serious face.

Maori Kogoro was shameless. He justified other people's deductions without any emotion or guilt. Conan was deeply dissatisfied with his behavior. "Uncle, what kind of deduction can you do? I still want to learn from you."

"Conan is so smart! No one else could react, but Conan figured it out in a flash! He's much smarter than some clueless detectives!" Kisaki Eri also agreed with Conan's cleverness, not forgetting to tease Kogoro Mouri. The two have been competing since they were little, and now, in their 40s, they still enjoy it!

"I never thought that the gossip queen of Teitan High School would stumble upon her own sister one day, ruining her reputation in an instant! What's even more abominable is that this wasn't a consortium marriage forced upon her by my parents, but rather a natural attraction between the two of them, facilitated by my parents. They were flirting and secretly engaging in this under the nose of the great gossip queen, Sonoko, and I didn't even notice anything was amiss. This is what infuriates me the most!" Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips, her chuunibyou attacking her again, and launched into a barrage of complaints. Ultimately, it was the fact that she hadn't noticed their relationship that infuriated her the most.

"Xiaolan, you don't know, there has been something going on between the two of them for a long time. They fell in love with each other when we were at the villa on the mountain last time. Then when we were at the villa by the sea, my sister talked to that guy Fujiwara Hiroshi for an hour right under our noses. Damn it! I didn't even notice it at all." Sonoko said indignantly. She was still dissatisfied in her heart and wanted to save something for her reputation.

"Huh!? Have they been in love with each other for so long? All this happened right under our noses, and we didn't notice it at all." Xiaolan was also shocked. Originally, Xiaolan thought it was just a new marriage, but she didn't expect there would be such a story.

"It's not surprising. In fact, Sister Ayako's previous reactions explained a lot. For example, when Sister Sonoko introduced the previous Tomizawa Yuzo as Sister Ayako's fiancé, she said it was a verbal agreement between the two parents. She also said that Tomizawa Yuzo pursued Sister Ayako, but she didn't say anything about Sister Ayako's response. And when Uncle Tozawa Tetsuji called Sister Ayako Tomizawa Yuzo's future wife, Sister Ayako's instinctive resistance must have been some hidden messages. It's just that we didn't know at the time that Sister Ayako's heart was with Brother Fujiwara, otherwise Sister Ayako's reaction would be more understandable!" Conan began to let himself go again. Based on the bombshell news revealed by Sonoko and some clues he had discovered before, the two combined and he output another stream of valuable information. Although it was a bit of hindsight, it was obvious that others hadn't recovered yet, and you, Conan, once again started to react before others did, showing off your extraordinary ability. The only thing missing was the "ah-ha-ha-ha" part, and you were frantically edging on the edge of exposing your identity. Xiaolan was also looking at Conan straight. Looking at Conan who was talking in front of her, she couldn't help but imagine the overlapping shadows of Conan and Kudo Shinichi in her mind.

But when she thought about it again, she felt that it was unlikely. After all, the two of them were one big and one small, and their ages differed by more than 10 years. They obviously didn't look like the same person. Xiaolan denied her own wild thoughts in her heart.

"Sonoko, do you think my analysis makes sense?" Conan clearly sensed the strangeness in Ran's gaze, and in that instant, Yukiko's acting gene in Conan awakened. He quickly entered an immersive performance state, playing the role of a spoiled child, and even pulled the corner of Sonoko's skirt, acting cute and adorable!

After seeing this, Xiaolan shook her head and thought to herself, "What am I thinking about? How could Conan be that guy Shinichi? If Shinichi also acts like this..." Xiaolan shuddered when she thought of this scene. She couldn't help but imagine Kudo Shinichi acting cute and coquettish. "But then again, it's been so long. Where has Shinichi been working on the case? Why hasn't he come back yet? Brother Fujiwara is already a couple with Sister Ayako, and Shinichi and I don't have a relationship yet..." Xiaolan's cheeks began to flush when she thought of this.

"Xiaolan, are you okay? Why is your face so red?" Sonoko noticed that something was wrong with Xiaolan and asked with concern.

"Nothing... nothing!" Xiaolan's eyes immediately turned into small dots. She was just lost in her thoughts, and after hearing what Sonoko said, she felt as awkward as if she had been caught cheating.

"Anyway, Xiaolan, I feel really miserable right now... I've actually hit a snag in my life with gossip." Sonoko hugged Xiaolan tightly, begging for her comfort. After a brief pause, she put some distance between them and said,

"Xiaolan, if you have any progress with that guy Shinichi in the future, you must not hide it from me! I have already suffered a heavy blow from my sister, and I don't want to be hit twice by my best friend!"

"Yuanzi, what nonsense are you talking about!" Xiaolan blushed and broke away from Yuanzi.

"Sonoko is a gossipy woman who doesn't consider the occasion or timing at all when she speaks. She actually said that in front of Xiaolan's parents." Conan rolled his eyes at Sonoko and despised her in his heart.

"What!? You mean what does that Kudo brat want to do?" Maori Kogoro also heard what Sonoko said, and his temper flared up immediately. "If I knew that the Kudo brat dared to do anything inappropriate, I... huh... huh... I would definitely not let him off with my iron fist!"

Kogoro Mouri said this angrily, and rolled up his sleeves, showing his huge iron fist, which made Conan feel a chill on his back!

"Hey, hey, hey~ Uncle Maori looks like he's going to pound himself into the ground." Conan's body trembled, and he thought to himself that this was not good!

"Dad...what are you talking about! There is no such thing as inappropriate behavior. Please don't say weird things, okay?" Xiaolan's face turned completely red, and she roared at Mouri Kogoro.

"Really? I don't know who was so clumsy to want to do something weird. What? Thinking of your past, you started to worry that your daughter would suffer!" Kisaki Eri seized the opportunity to start mocking Mouri Kogoro again.
