Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

"You guys take a rest first, I have something to go out for."

After carrying a lot of bags and leading the two back to the room, Maoli stood in front of the mirror, adjusted his appearance, said a few words seemingly casually, and then walked out the door.

"Good~"

Xiaolan sat aside, packing up the three people's harvest today, and responded without raising her head.

"Then I'll be out first! Xiaolan, don't stay too late, remember to go back and rest early!"

After saying that, Uncle Maori opened the door and walked out.

However, the moment Uncle Maori left the room, Xiaolan suddenly raised her head, startling Conan who was lying on the bed:

"Sister Xiaolan? What's wrong?"

Looking at Xiaolan's vigilant eyes, Conan always felt that he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Dad is wrong!"

Xiaolan's eyes flashed with a light called 'wisdom', and she said with great confidence:

"He's never been so generous! He's treating us to trips and spending money on letting us enjoy the festival! He must be hiding something!

"What's more, he even came back and dressed up nicely. This is totally out of character for Dad! He must be hiding something!"

"so what?"

Conan said with some confusion.

So, is this true for all of the Mori family? They unleash their full potential when faced with special circumstances? Uncle Mori does it when it comes to his family, and Ran does it when she catches an adulterer?

"So, Conan, let's catch up with Dad and see where he's going and who he's meeting!"

Xiaolan's eyes burned with fire. She would never allow anyone to destroy her family!

"I, I know."

Looking at the excited Xiaolan, Conan weakly agreed.

"Sister Xiaolan, wait for me to change clothes~"

He was still wearing a yukata. It was fine for visiting festivals, but forget about being followed! It was both inconvenient and conspicuous.

However, Xiaolan did not give him this opportunity. Instead, she grabbed him:

"There's no time! Daddy ran off to somewhere in the time it takes to change his clothes! So, we have to chase him now! We can't let him get away!"

"Wait......"

Before Conan could finish his words, he was dragged by Xiaolan and chased out.

"No, even if you want to chase me, at least let me put on my shoes!"

Conan roared in his heart, wanting to cry but unable to.

Downstairs in the hotel, Maori looked around and called a taxi.

"Sure enough, Dad definitely lied to us! Otherwise, how could he be willing to take a taxi!"

Xiaolan hugged Conan and muttered softly.

As for why she hugged Conan? Just look at his smooth little feet. It happened so suddenly, and before Ran pulled him out, he was still lying on the bed! He wasn't even wearing socks, let alone shoes.

"taxi!"

Xiaolan looked around and stopped a taxi, pointing at the one her father was in:

"Master, please catch up with that car! My dad is in it!"

When the master heard this, he was happy: There is melon to eat!

"Don't worry, little girl. I'm an experienced driver! I won't get lost with you here!"

After saying that, he started in third gear, stepped on the accelerator, and chased after the taxi where Mao Li was.

Conan sat in Xiaolan's arms, looked at her angry eyes, shrank his neck, and asked in a low voice:

"Sister Xiaolan, do you have any money on you?"

"fine!"

Xiaolan stared at the car her father was sitting in:

"Just let Dad pay later! I want to see who asked him out so late at night!"

"Uncle Maori, I hope you really came out this time for something, and not to drink at the izakaya to see the mama-san. Otherwise, you're on your own!"

After hearing what Xiaolan said, Conan didn't say anything more. He just lowered his head, buried it in Xiaolan's arms, and silently prayed for Uncle Maori.

Well, don't mention it, Xiaolan's arms are quite soft~

As the two cars drove one after the other for a while, soon the taxi in front stopped at the door of a high-end hotel.

"Damn it! I know! Dad coming out dressed so brightly at night, it's definitely not good!"

Looking at the hotel next to the taxi, Xiaolan clenched her fists.

"Sister Xiaolan, hold on! Maybe someone really wants to ask Uncle Maori to come here to discuss a commission!"

Seeing this, Conan hurried to comfort her. He didn't want Xiaolan to throw a punch in anger! The taxi driver would cry! Really cry!

Xiaolan thought about it. Although the probability was small, it was still possible! Thinking of this, her clenched fists loosened a little.

Seeing this, Conan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the ignorant driver beside him with pity.

The driver will never know that his car has just experienced a life-and-death crisis.

"Miss, here we are."

The driver stopped the car and looked at Xiaolan with a smile. It's great, there's money to be made and melons to eat~

"Okay, Master, please wait a moment, I'll find someone to pay right away!"

As she said that, Xiaolan opened the car door angrily and walked towards Maori.

"Dad! Didn't you say you came here for business? What, is your so-called business to come to a place like this?"

"Xiaolan! Why are you here?!"

Hearing Xiaolan's voice, Uncle Maori looked over here, then took a few steps back in panic.

"What! If you were here to discuss serious matters, you wouldn't be worried about Conan and I showing up here! Or are you worried that I'd find out you're out looking for another woman? Are you doing this to your mother?"

Xiaolan's voice became louder and louder, and she pressed on step by step, frightening Maoli so much that he kept backing away.

However, when hearing Xiaolan mention Hime Eri, Maori's eyes revealed a complicated look, and a bit of courage rose in his heart:

"Why did you mention her? What does it have to do with that old woman?"

As soon as these words came out, Mao Li quickly covered his mouth. He knew that he had said the wrong thing.

As expected, the flames burning on Xiaolan's body grew even stronger, and a murderous look rose in her eyes:

"What did you say!"

Then, Xiaolan punched the nearby electric pole that appeared out of nowhere, and looked at her father with a smile:

"Dad, what did you just say? Can you say it again?"

"Click~"

A deep dent appeared on the pole where Xiaolan's fist had struck it. With a few cracks, the pole broke.

Mao Li couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw this scene. Behind him, the taxi driver who was sitting in the car, eating melons and watching the show, and waiting for people to come and pay, saw this scene, recalled the girl who had just sat next to him, and a drop of cold sweat quietly slid down his face.

Then, he slammed the car door shut, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away! Are you kidding me? Money and other things are not as important as your life!

Just when Mao Li was being pressed by Xiaolan step by step and didn't know what to say, a gentle voice sounded beside him:

"Mr. Maori, you're here...Huh? Xiaolan? Are you here too?"
