Model worker and his little darling

Seeing the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa with a book, looking deep in thought, Pingqing curiously looked towards the door, wondering which beautiful woman would be coming to visit.

"You're back, Xiaolan. Can you make me a cup of coffee? Without your coffee, my brain cells seem to be acting up, and I can't work properly."

As Ran pushed open the door, Sonoko: ...

The uncle, who had not received a reply, looked up, then instantly returned to his original demeanor, tossing the book aside. "What's this? It seems only rich, spoiled girls come here."

Hearing this, Sonoko was very unhappy and was about to step forward to argue when Ran changed the subject, saying, "The person I was talking about won't be here for a while."

"Honestly, all my effort in greeting you was for nothing."

Sonoko was speechless. "They're just high school boys, why are they putting on such a show?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man sat up straight in surprise. "A man? Wasn't he supposed to look a lot like that high school girl who's the female news anchor, Rena Mizunashi?"

Rena Mizunashi?

Ping Qing and Conan, who were standing in the background, exchanged a glance and both perked up, staring intently at the door, eager to know what kind of monster was coming.

After being injured in the last operation and rescued by Sila, Kiel has been staying in the organization under the pretext of recuperating, and has not made any unusual moves during this time.

Thinking of the person who was coming, Ping Qing slightly raised the corners of her mouth. She was really looking forward to it.

Just then, the person pushed open the door and walked in, bumping into Conan who was about to open the door.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, I'm so sorry, I don't know what I tripped over." As he said this, the man who was looking for his glasses on the ground touched Conan and even pinched Conan's little face.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Detective Mori. It's an honor to meet you." Receiving no response, the person tightened their grip. "Something seems a little strange."

Seeing this, Sonoko picked up the glasses and handed them over, saying, "That's the little brat staying at Ran's house."

"My apologies, my name is Hondo Eisuke. Detective Mouri, nice to meet you!"

Perhaps he was too happy to see his idol, Hondo Eisuke bowed and bumped into Conan on the back of the head. He then stumbled backward and bumped into a cabinet, where a falling box hit him on the head.

Conan, clutching his head, walked over to Hirakiyo and looked at Hondo Eisuke with utter exasperation.

"Hehe... Yingyou is just a little confused."

Hondo Eisuke quickly stood up and explained, "I'm not confused, I'm just really unlucky. If toast falls on the ground, there's a 100% chance it'll be butter-side down. When I go camping, I'm always the first one to get bitten by mosquitoes. No matter how you look at it, I'm someone God hates."

As he spoke, Hondou Eisuke stood in front of the uncle, looking at him with admiration. "That's why I've always wanted to meet you. I hope you can share some of your luck with me. You can solve cases while you're sleeping, you're incredibly lucky. It must be that divine power descends upon you at those moments."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Mori scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and gave Conan a subtle glare.

Ran felt sorry for her embarrassed father. "Well... although my dad was called Sleeping Kogoro for a while, he was just telling the truth with his head down. He wasn't actually sleeping."

"But every time Detective Mori is interviewed, he either says he forgot or that he'll ask the police or something, deliberately avoiding the topic, doesn't he?"

Xiaolan smiled awkwardly, "He only said that because he was embarrassed. Actually, he remembers everything. Right, Dad?"

Uncle Mori: ...

"Hehehe... It's alright."

"In short, please let me see the sleeping Kogoro."

Seeing Hondo Eisuke's pleading gaze, Uncle Mori's lips twitched. He really made it sound so easy.

Conan, who had been trying to minimize his presence since the topic of sleeping had come up, secretly rolled his eyes. This guy was really troublesome. He then tugged at Hirai's sleeve. "Hirai, he..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hondo Eisuke approached Heikiyo and said, "Are you the amazing young detective Ito Heikiyo who has been learning from Detective Mori? I've seen you in the newspaper; you solved many cases with Detective Mori."

Seeing the bewildered Hondo Eisuke, Hirakiyo smiled modestly, "I wouldn't dare say I'm amazing, it's all thanks to your guidance, Uncle."

Just then, a man knocked on the door of the detective agency. "Excuse me, is this the Mouri Detective Agency?"

Seeing this, Hondo Eisuke excitedly ran to the door. When he learned that the man had a case to entrust, he was so happy that he tripped and fell headfirst into the box next to him.

The client stood there, stunned. He had a feeling that this kid was a bit unreliable.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, so Xiaolan quickly invited the client in and served him coffee.

After some investigation, it was discovered that Atsushi Sankaku wanted to hire a detective to find his girlfriend, who had disappeared after an argument.

He woke up in the morning to find his girlfriend gone, and she had driven off in her car, with his important project proposal due the next day still inside. Based on her words about not being able to turn back, he guessed it was the place where they first met.

……

Gunma Prefecture.

"Ah-"

Seeing Hondo Eisuke sneeze, Conan quietly moved closer to Hirai Kiyoshi.

“Every time this happens, I’m always the first one to catch a cold.”

Heiji's lips twitched as he looked away from Hondo Eisuke. Sonoko was so clever; knowing that it was snowing in Gunma, she took Ran out shopping.

Upon reaching an intersection, Sankaku noticed that his car was parked on the side of the road and immediately ran over.

Brushing aside the snow on the car window, Atsushi Sankaku saw his girlfriend inside and his face instantly changed. He frantically pounded on the window, crying, "Anmi, Anmi, wake up!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Conan immediately ran over and found that the gaps in both car doors were completely sealed with tape, a charcoal stove was placed in the front seat, and a woman was sitting in the driver's seat with her eyes closed, her life hanging in the balance.

Seeing that Atsushi was still in a daze, Uncle Mori asked anxiously, "Did you bring a spare key?"

Upon hearing this, Atsushi Sankaku quickly took out his car keys.

"Damn it, the door is sealed shut with duct tape and can't be opened at all. It seems the only way is to call the police and have them pry it open with tools."

Ping Qing clicked his tongue and dialed the phone number of the mountain village police officer he had met not long ago.

Seeing that Uncle Mori couldn't open the car door, Atsushi Sankaku took a baseball bat from the trunk, walked to the front of the car, and smashed the windshield with force.

"Anmei, I'm coming to save you right now."

In no time, Triangle Shot smashed the glass and climbed into the car.
