There is no system for the anime, so I have to work hard on my own.
Chapter 81 The detectives in this world are inexplicably stubborn
At the Maori house, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of dinner.
Ran Mao Li's busy figure moved lightly in front of the stove, but from the little tune she hummed, it seemed that she was enjoying the pleasure of cooking.
Not feeling annoyed at all.
Just then, there was a sudden intermittent knock on the door.
Mao Lilan had no choice but to put down her work and go to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Kogoro Mouri.
At this moment, he was leaning against the wall.
He was obviously drunk and unconscious. His occasional burps were particularly loud in the quiet evening, and the air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.
Damn that stinky old man, how much alcohol did he drink? !
Smelling the strong smell of alcohol in the air, Mao Lilan's eyebrows unconsciously frowned, her fists clenched tightly, and the disgust in her eyes was completely undisguised.
However, amidst that disdain, there was clearly a hint of subtle worry and helplessness.
So, while complaining in her heart, Maori Ran acted quickly, carefully helped Maori Kogoro into the house, and placed him on the sofa in the living room.
And considerately covered him with a blanket.
During this process, Kogoro Mouri was still mumbling something incoherently. When Ran Mouri moved closer, she found that it was her mother's name.
Not only that, Kogoro Mouri seemed to be dreaming about something and he laughed foolishly from time to time.
Looking at his cheeks that were flushed with alcohol, Mao Lilan felt mixed emotions.
She never imagined that her father would have such an affectionate side when he was drunk.
Compared to the sloppy uncle he looked like when he was sober, he was completely different from the other two people.
Looking at her father lying on the sofa, Mao Lilan couldn't help but sigh and walked into the kitchen with mixed feelings: "Really, it seems I have to prepare a hangover soup first."
However, from the unconsciously raised corners of her mouth, it can be seen that she seems to be in a good mood at the moment.
This hangover soup is not only a way to take care of my father's health, but also a response to the true feelings he accidentally revealed after drinking.
Soon, a pot of carefully prepared hangover soup was ready, its aroma filling the air and warming the heart.
Holding the bowl of soup, Mao Lilan walked lightly into the living room and gently placed the sobering soup next to Mao Li Kogoro, hoping that the warmth would bring him some comfort when he woke up.
However, after looking at the prepared food, Mao Lilan couldn't help but feel troubled again.
After all, his father was so drunk that it was impossible to wake him up to eat.
However, it was impossible for her to finish the meal alone.
Mao Lilan glanced at Mao Li Kogoro who was blowing snot bubbles and couldn't help complaining: "You didn't even send me a text message in advance, damn old man."
Now, there were only two of them in the house, and after Kogoro Mouri got drunk, she was the only one left.
A faint sense of loneliness welled up in her heart.
If only her mother were here too, she couldn't help but sigh and miss her previous life.
......
"Hello, Director Ochiai, my name is Arrogant, and the organization sent me here to help you." The blond young man introduced himself to Director Ochiai with a warm smile on his face.
Arogante? What a strange name.
Director Ochiai thought to himself, but on the surface he remained calm and gave Arrogant a polite smile.
"Mr. Arrogant, welcome." Director Ochiai maintained a professional demeanor, but his tone revealed a subtle caution.
"Excuse me, the organization sent you here because there is something specific that requires my assistance?"
Upon hearing this, Arrogant nodded slightly, took out a sealed letter from his arms and handed it to Director Ochiai.
"This letter details our mission."
"I believe that after reading this, you will have a clearer understanding of the purpose of our trip."
His voice was deep and magnetic, yet carried a confidence that was hard to resist.
Upon hearing this, Director Ochiai quickly took the letter.
His eyes lingered on the envelope for a moment, then he slowly opened it and began to read.
As the contents of the letter unfolded, his expression gradually became extremely ugly.
The letter mentioned that the young man in front of him, named Arogant, was the organization's treasurer.
The management of the art museum will be fully handed over to him, and he will be responsible for intelligence work.
Director Ochiai wanted to refuse. After all, he joined the organization in order to save the art museum.
However, how could he be willing to hand over the management rights to someone else now?
But when he thought of the power of the organization, the words of refusal were like a fishbone stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them.
As if sensing his reluctance, Arrogant raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of amusement.
“Please consider carefully, if it is not for the financial support of the organization, how long can your current art museum last?”
Ignoring Director Ochiai, Arrogant said to himself, "I'm afraid that in a few months, this art museum will go bankrupt due to losses!"
Hearing his ruthless words, Director Ochiai's eyes flashed with anger and helplessness.
He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute because what the other party said was all true.
But it was precisely because of this that he felt even angrier.
Because lies don't hurt, the truth does.
At this moment, the knife called reality was stabbing Director Ochiai's pain point again and again, making his eyes red and with faint flames flickering.
Noticing the change in Director Ochiai's expression, Arrogant knew that he could not provoke him anymore.
After all, they will continue to work together for a while.
He nodded gently, his tone gentle: "But don't worry, the ownership of the art gallery will always be yours."
Seeing that Director Ochiai's expression had improved considerably, Arrogant continued, "Besides, being involved in intelligence work doesn't mean you can't participate in the management of the museum."
"More importantly, if there are any losses during my operation, I will bear all the losses."
Then, he changed the subject: "Of course, if we make a profit, we will also take most of it as the organization's activity funds."
Director Ochiai now recognized the reality. He took a deep breath, calmed his agitated emotions, and slowly replied, "I understand."
But when he thought that he would have to concentrate on intelligence work in the future and would not have as much time to spend with these works of art, he felt reluctant and sad.
......
evening.
Didan High School.
Suzuki Sonoko, who was wearing a school uniform and a headband, suddenly asked, "Xiaolan, have you heard?"
Mao Lilan smiled slightly and responded softly: "Sonoko, every time you come here, you look like you have some big news to announce. What is it this time?"
There was a hint of doting in her tone, as she was already accustomed to her friend's exaggerated behavior.
Suzuki Sonoko excitedly pumped her fist, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "I heard the art museum has a new manager, and he's a super handsome guy."
Looking at the infatuated Suzuki Sonoko, Kudo Shinichi snorted disdainfully and said, "Handsome guy? Is he as handsome as me?"
Hearing his words, Sonoko first looked at the other person seriously, then waved her hand, her eyes full of disgust.
"As for you, a cocky mystery geek, I'm afraid no one else would think you're handsome except Xiaolan."
"Impossible. I think you're jealous, Sonoko."
"Tsk, anyway, I can't tell at all."
Upon hearing this, Mao Lilan couldn't help but hold her forehead with one hand.
But when she thought of Yuanzi's words, a blush unconsciously appeared on her face, which was very cute.
When Kudo Shinichi saw Mouri Ran's slightly shy expression as if her true feelings were revealed, his heart began to flutter and his face flushed.
Seeing this, Suzuki Sonoko burst into laughter as if she had discovered a new world, with a hint of teasing in her voice: "So, our great detective can also be shy?"
Hearing what Suzuki Sonoko said, Mao Lilan turned her head unconsciously, but Kudo Shinichi had already turned his head away, which made her feel a little regretful.
After the blush on his face had almost disappeared, Kudo Shinichi turned his head back and unexpectedly met Mouri Ran's eyes.
Seeing the curiosity in the other person's eyes, Kudo Shinichi turned his head away instantly as if he had been electrocuted.
"Oh, the great detective is shy again~"
Hearing Suzuki Sonoko's teasing, Kudo Shinichi's voice unconsciously carried a hint of imperceptible panic.
"Hello, nagging!!!"
But Suzuki Sonoko laughed even more happily.
When she had almost finished laughing, she looked at Mao Lilan with an expectant expression again, her voice full of excitement.
"Xiaolan, you must have never seen such a handsome man."
"I heard that the man's name is Arogante, and he has blond hair and golden eyes, like a prince who walked out of a comic book."
Suzuki Sonoko's voice was full of a girl's longing, and stars were twinkling in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Mao Lilan smiled slightly. She knew that Suzuki Sonoko always had an extraordinary sensitivity and pursuit for handsome guys.
She sighed helplessly, "Yuanzi, you are always easily attracted by other people's appearance. However, after hearing what you said, I am also a little curious."
When Kudo Shinichi heard what Mao Lilan said, he felt his heart suddenly shrink, and a hint of subtle panic flashed in his eyes: "Ran, you are not really interested in that kind of guy, are you?"
Mao Lilan heard this, shook her head and chuckled: "How is that possible? I just thought what Sonoko said was interesting and wanted to go and see it."
"Yes...that's how it is." Kudo Shinichi felt a sudden sigh of relief when he heard Ran Mouri's explanation.
When Suzuki Sonoko saw the interaction between the two, she couldn't help but smile and silently blessed them.
As a friend who grew up together, she is very clear about the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran.
All it takes is a confession for the two of them to become an enviable couple.
However, the two seemed unaware of each other's feelings, which made her anxious about their relationship journey.
While she was worried about the two of them, she couldn't help but feel envious.
I also want to have a sweet and sour love relationship!!
Where is my soulmate!!!
......
"It's finally over."
As he sorted through the mountain of information, Ye Yusheng's voice couldn't help but reveal a mixture of relief and fatigue.
Perhaps it's time to put down all this work, find new companions, and relax your mind.
Thinking of this, he slowly closed his eyes and cast a divination spell to divine where Nanatsuki Koshimizu was at the moment.
His voice was low and full of piety, as if he was having a silent conversation with some mysterious power deep in the universe.
As the divination magic was activated, an invisible wave spread out in the void, spreading like ripples.
Soon, clear scenes slowly unfolded in Ye Yusheng's mind, spreading out like a scroll.
That is where Nanatsuki Koshimizu is.
At this moment, she was standing alone in a silent cemetery, immersed in grief for the past.
Ye Yusheng opened his eyes and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although it was not the first time he used it, the magic of divination still made him marvel.
Then, his figure flashed, following the mysterious trajectory, shuttling between existence and non-existence, and came in front of Koshimizu Nanatsuki.
However, this time he did not disturb them rashly. He just stood quietly in the void, waiting.
Perhaps it was the detective's unique keenness that made Nanatsuki Koshimizu raise her head and look around instantly, as if she was looking for something.
However, Ye Yusheng is now in the void, how could he be discovered so easily?
After searching in vain, Nanatsuki Koshimizu could only regard the gaze she had just felt as an illusion.
But she knew that it was definitely not an illusion.
Because that gaze was so strong, it was as if the person observing her was right in front of her.
Then, in her surprised eyes, a figure slowly emerged from the void, like the rising sun in the morning light, warm and mysterious.
Ye Yusheng's face was filled with curiosity and inquiry: "How did you become aware of my existence?"
"You...you...how could you..."
At this moment, Nanatsuki Koshimizu was so shocked that she couldn't speak clearly. Her eyes were full of disbelief, as if the scene before her was beyond her understanding.
She tried to organize her words to express the confusion and surprise in her heart, but every word seemed to be bound by an invisible force, making it difficult to speak smoothly.
Ye Yusheng looked at Yueshui Nanatsuki's performance and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He recalled the scene when Director Ochiai and Asai Narimi met him for the first time. Although they were also surprised at that time, they did not seem to be as surprised as Koshimizu Nanatsuki.
After a long while, Nanatsuki Koshimizu seemed to have thought of something. The shock in her eyes instantly disappeared, leaving only curiosity and inquiry: "What kind of magic trick is this?"
Ye Yusheng was silent. He really wanted to pry open the heads of these detectives to see what they were thinking.
He clearly saw himself appearing from the void, but still wanted to explain it with science.
But when he thought that this seemed to be a world of science, he felt relieved: "This is magic, not some kind of magic trick."
However, his explanation didn't seem to be believed by Nanatsuki Koshimizu. She just showed a look of understanding: "I understand, a middle school boy who thinks magic is magic."
Ye Yusheng wanted to say something but stopped, and finally could only sigh helplessly: "Whatever you think."
Then, his expression changed, becoming very serious, and his tone was full of seriousness: "I would like to invite you to join our organization."
"Join you?" There was a hint of doubt in Yueshui Nanatsuki's surprise. She obviously had not expected Ye Yusheng to make such an invitation.
Ye Yusheng nodded: "Yes, we are looking for like-minded partners to explore the mysteries of this world together."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu chuckled softly, like a lily in full bloom: "You haven't even told me the situation of your organization, and you want me to join? Aren't you taking it for granted?"
Ye Yusheng also chuckled. He gently touched the words on the tombstone and said slowly, "We know who caused this person to commit suicide."
Ye Yusheng's words were like a flash of lightning, instantly illuminating a corner of Yueshui Nanatsuki's heart.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and her breathing became rapid, as if she was grabbed by an invisible force.
"You...you really know?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu's voice trembled. She tried to hide her inner shock, but the surprise and confusion were like a seedling breaking through the soil, difficult to hide.
Seeing the other person's shocked expression, Ye Yusheng continued, "We not only know who made her commit suicide, we also know that you wanted revenge."
