Model worker and his little darling

Suddenly, Conan laughed. "Haibara, I think you don't need to worry anymore. Someone is protecting you, which proves that he is on our side. Moreover, the fact that he can appear at the City Hotel proves that he has a high position in the organization."

Hearing Conan's confident words, Haibara was taken aback. Is that so?

Yusaku Kudo was also observing Ai Haibara. To be honest, he was shocked when he learned that she was also a member of that organization. However, judging from the little girl's behavior, she was indeed very afraid of that organization.

"Shin-chan, I think your identity has been exposed. Mori must have figured it out."

Conan looked on incredulously, "Uncle? How is that possible?"

In his mind, Uncle Mori was a detective who loved to drink, was a womanizer, was muddle-headed, and occasionally had a flash of brilliance. How could he possibly have figured out his identity?

Xiao Lan, on the other hand, has been looking at him strangely lately. It's not like she's looking at a child at all, and she's been saying some odd things.

Seeing that Conan didn't believe him, Yusaku Kudo sighed helplessly. Mouri was a popular figure at school and had been a policeman for many years. How could he not have any suspicions about Shin-chan, given all the unusual things about him?

"So that means my uncle and Ran probably already know my identity, so why don't they just ask me directly?" Conan wondered.

Yukiko winked at Conan, "Ran probably wants you to tell her in person that she heard you two took a bath together."

Hearing his mother's teasing, Conan blushed instantly. "Mom, don't talk nonsense."

Yukiko's words lightened the atmosphere in the ward considerably.

"What about my identity? I don't want Xiaolan to know, I don't want her to worry."

"I can only find someone to impersonate you to fool Xiaolan for now. Mom, I can impersonate you, okay?"

Seeing Yukiko covering her mouth and chuckling, Conan rolled his eyes. He knew Ran would definitely notice his mother's unreliable behavior right away.

"Shin-chan, are you really not coming abroad with us?"

Conan looked at Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko with a determined expression and said seriously, word by word, "I want to stay in Japan."

The couple exchanged a glance. Their son was stubborn; once he made a decision, he wouldn't change it.

"In that case, you can ask Ito Heikiyo, who lives next door to you, for help."

"Brother Pingqing? But he doesn't know I'm Shinichi Kudo yet. Should we ask him for help?"

……

When Heikichi woke up, the sun was already setting. After getting up, he found that Gin had already left.

While being fed by Aunt Huizi, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, it was Uncle Mori.

Pingqing was taken aback. Why would Uncle Mori come to his house? He immediately invited him in.

"Uncle, what can I do for you? I'm eating right now. Come on, let's eat together. Where are Ran and Conan? I'll go get them."

After saying that, Pingqing went to the next room. Seeing that Xiaolan was about to start cooking, Pingqing stopped her.

She glanced at it casually, then asked with a puzzled look, "Ran, where's Conan?"

He's in the hospital.

"Oh? You're sick." After saying that, he pulled Xiaolan away.

Seeing Ran's sad expression, Pingqing still comforted her, "Conan is a tough guy, I think he'll be fine soon, Ran, you don't need to worry."

Upon entering the house, they saw that the uncle was already seated, so the three of them began to eat.

"Ran, is Conan feeling unwell? I'll go to the hospital tomorrow and bring him some treats."

Uncle Mori ate his rice like crazy, then mumbled an explanation to Heikichi, "He's injured and hospitalized, and he's still unconscious."

Looking at the uncle's expression, Pingqing's lips twitched. Was the uncle tired of Xiaolan's cooking and came over specifically to freeload a meal today?

"Uncle, please eat slowly. Ran can just come over to eat whenever she doesn't feel like cooking. And what happened to Conan's injury?"

Xiao Lan looked at her father speechlessly. Although the food at Pingqing's house was indeed delicious, there was no need to eat so rudely.

"Conan was unwittingly drawn into a case and was shot twice."

Hearing this, Pingqing nodded to indicate that he understood.

The middle-aged man, having eaten his fill, patted his belly contentedly. "Pingqing, your food is absolutely delicious. The food Xiaolan has been cooking these past few days has had no flavor at all. Coming to your house was definitely the right decision."

"dad……"

Taira no Kiyoshi: ...

The uncle was indeed there to freeload a meal.

After eating, Xiaolan went home, while Pingqing was dragged out for drinks by the uncle.

The uncle seemed a bit troubled, probably because of Conan, but Hirai didn't say anything, just watched the uncle drink bottle after bottle.

It was almost midnight, and the uncle had had his fill of fun, so Pingqing took him home.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Gin standing there. I instantly had the urge to run away. Oh no, I've been caught.

Didn't this person already leave? Why are they back?

"Drinking?"

"Um, would you believe me if I said... I only had a few sips?"

Gin stared at Pingqing, his breath whistling coldly. He mentally added another note to Pingqing's record, planning how many beatings he would give him once he recovered.

Feeling the coldness emanating from Gin, Hirashige shrank back. Gin was definitely thinking about how to beat him up.

God, please let his injury heal slowly.

Seeing that Gin's expression was really bad, Taira no Kiyoshi gritted his teeth and hugged Gin directly.

"Koto-chan~, don't be angry, I really only drank a few sips."

Gin looked down at Hirai, hesitated for a moment, but still slapped him on the head. "Do you remember the injuries you have?"

"The medicine from the organization is really effective; I feel much better."

"Hmph, that's best."

Seeing that Gin didn't care, Taira breathed a sigh of relief, secretly wondering if he should get injured again so he could live a little longer.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about getting hurt..."

Realizing what was happening, Pingqing immediately covered his mouth with his hand, then smiled at Gin, "I was wondering when my injury would heal. I want to do a mission now."

Gin sneered, glanced at Pingqing with a look that said, "Just you wait, you're dead," and then sat down on the sofa.

Heiji immediately served tea and water, then sat down next to Gin and hugged his arm, continuing to act coquettishly.

"Don't be angry, I was wrong."

"Koto-chan~, please don't be angry with me since I'm so badly injured."

"Koto-chan~, aren't I your favorite little darling anymore?"

……

Gin rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "Shut up."

Pingqing immediately swallowed the words he wanted to say.

Seeing that Gin looked unwell, Hirai took Gin's hand and said, "Let's go to sleep."

After an unknown amount of time, Pingqing was still staring at the ceiling with her eyes open. She had slept too much during the day and now she couldn't fall asleep.

The next morning, when Heikiri opened his eyes, he saw Gin's big face. After staring at each other for a few seconds, he silently covered his eyes with his hands.

What is Gin doing flaunting his good looks so early in the morning?

Seeing that Heikiri's ears were red, Gin smiled slightly and ruffled Heikiri's hair. The child was too cute.

Heiji patted Gin's head, which had been ruffled into a mess, and then ruffled Gin's head back in return.

Suddenly, Pingqing looked at the few white hairs on his hand and stared at Gin in shock. "Gin-chan~, you're starting to lose your hair. You're going bald."
