"Uncle Maori, did Inspector Megure call you? Did he tell you about that Tomo Chengzhen incident?"

Conan took advantage of Kogoro Mouri's good mood and immediately started to ask him questions.

After receiving a negative response from Kogoro Mouri, Conan was a little restless - there were originally several suspects in this incident. Although Hayashi Yoshiki caught Kyosuke Fudo in advance, Conan was also a little concerned about other people's cases.

For a detective like him who is filled with a strong sense of justice, it is unsettling to know that a case has not been solved and is being left alone.

I'll find a chance to go and have a look tomorrow...

He thought so.

Several elementary school students stayed until evening.

After they left, Kisaki Eri also rushed here as if to scout the place, and she was carrying large and small bags of food in her hands.

"Xiao Shu is here too."

"Yes, Aunt Eri."

"...What are you carrying?" Kogoro Mouri looked at the ingredients in Kisaki Eri's hands with his eyes wide open.

"Ingredients, can't you see it with your eyes?"

"I know it's ingredients, but are you planning on cooking tonight?"

"Of course. We ate out yesterday to celebrate Xiaolan's discharge from the hospital, but cooking at home is definitely more heartwarming today."

When Hibiki said this, she smiled gently at Hayashi Yoshiki and Ran: "Xiaoshu, why don't you stay here for dinner? Wait with Ran to try my specialty... Oh, and Conan too."

Her words instantly made Kogoro Mouri and Conan's faces turn pale.

But Xiaolan, who had lost her memory, just smiled and nodded, and then Lin Jiashu also raised a gentle smile: "Well, I'm looking forward to it, Aunt Yingli."

"No, Ash!?" "Brother Jiashu!?"

Kogoro Mouri and Conan screamed at the same time.

Has he never eaten the food cooked by Eri Kisaki?

Lin Jiashu kept smiling as if he knew nothing about it.

But he had actually eaten it.

To be honest, it tasted really bad.

But it was quite amusing to look at the expressions of Conan and Mouri Kogoro, and he had already planned it out. He could just make an excuse to slip away when the meal was almost ready.

Chapter 169: Lin Jiashu: "I still win"

Eri Kisaki is busy in the kitchen.

She was a little flustered as she hadn't cooked for a long time and was in an unfamiliar environment. She was bumping into things but seemed to be enjoying it. This made Kogoro Mouri and Conan, who were secretly observing her, couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw something was wrong in each other's eyes.

At this time, Lin Jiashu had already pulled Xiaolan to sit on the sofa.

He boiled water.

"Drinking some tea before meals can help stimulate your appetite."

Are you still appetizing!?

Before Xiaolan could say anything, Conan and Maori Kogoro ran up to Hayashi Yoshiki and looked at him with eyes that said, "Why are you so ignorant?!"

"I think we'll have to eat out today."

"Yeah, one meal to celebrate Sister Xiaolan's discharge from the hospital is too little!"

"Well, Conan, you are very sensible sometimes!"

The big and the small sang in unison, and when they seemed to be about to settle the matter, Kisaki Eri came out of the kitchen with a spatula.

"Are you two saying that the food I cook tastes terrible?"

"..."

Faced with Kisaki Eri's gloomy expression, both of them broke out in cold sweats.

Lin Jiashu smiled gently, his face showing some anticipation: "It feels like it will be very sumptuous. I'm really looking forward to Auntie Yingli's cooking skills."

His words instantly made Kisaki Eri smile like a flower.

"Since Xiaoshu said so, I will of course make something more sumptuous."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Conan and the others coldly: "Xiaoshu said to drink tea, so drink it quickly!"

Helplessly, Kogoro Maori picked up the teacup.

After taking a sip, he suddenly felt something was wrong and his eyes widened. Wasn't this the high-quality tea that President Suzuki gave him? He usually wouldn't drink it!

But Lin Jiashu received a call at this time.

"Hello? What?"

"I understand……"

"I'll be there right away."

"——Sorry, Aunt Eri, I'll have to eat your cooking next time."

He answered the phone, mumbled a few words, shouted to the kitchen, and then stood up and left in one go, so hurriedly that the two of them had no time to react.

When Kisaki Eri came out to see, Hayashi Yoshiki was gone.

“It’s hard for me to cook so many dishes…”

Kisaki Eri frowned, feeling somewhat sorry, but she could also understand that Lin Jiashu was sometimes quite busy, so she looked at the others and said, "Then you guys should eat more later."

"..."

Ran, who has lost her memory, is still confused, but Kogoro Mouri and Conan both see grief and anger in each other's eyes.

An hour later, the two took a deep breath, prepared themselves mentally, and sat down at the dining table.

Looking at the table full of food, Maori Kogoro held up his chopsticks but felt a little intimidated. He changed the subject and said, "Um, Eri... Has Ashu ever eaten the food you cooked before?"

"Well, I ate it once a long time ago, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing..."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri and Conan looked at each other, their eyes filled with indignation - they were finally certain that Hayashi Yoshiki was just looking for an excuse to escape!

----

later

Lin Jiashu was sitting in the living room of his apartment reading a book when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

He went over and opened the door, only to see Kisaki Eri standing outside.

"Are you done, Little Tree?"

She had a friendly smile on her face, and then she walked into the house with the things in her hand: "I was a little worried that you had been busy and hadn't eaten yet, so I packed some of tonight's meals in advance and sent them over."

"...Thank you, Aunt Eri."

Lin Jiashu maintained a smile on his face: "But I ate a little bit while I was busy with work, so I'm not hungry now."

"That's good."

Kisaki Eri came to the living room and was about to help him stack the books on the table. When she saw titles like "The Truth of Memory", "Psychology and Memory" and "Psychology of Memory", she couldn't help but stop.

This kid is really thoughtful...

She sat down on the sofa.

"Has Little Tree been getting enough rest lately?"

"Aunt Yingli, why do you suddenly ask this?" Lin Jiashu poured her a glass of warm water.

"I'm just a little worried that you'll have to read these books in addition to work..."

After taking the cup of water, Kisaki Eri sighed softly: "The doctor at the hospital said that Xiaolan's memory may be restored at any time, but it is also possible that there will be no changes for a long time... But before that, I don't want you to be too tired, Xiaoshu?"

"I don't think it's a big deal. After all, I've been reading related books."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

But after he said that, Kisaki Eri felt a little sad.

One of the two children has amnesia and the other suffers from time orientation disorder. Thinking about it, she feels more and more distressed.

"Is Xiaoshu free tomorrow?"

"Well, I haven't received any appointments from clients today. As long as there are no sudden calls, I should be free."

"Well, how about going out with Xiaolan tomorrow?"

“Going out to play…?”

Hayashi Yoshiki was a little surprised when he saw Kisaki Eri clapping and smiling as if she had come up with a good idea.

"Actually, I chatted with Xiaolan quite a bit today, and I could tell she felt quite guilty, like everyone was being consumed by her issues... I don't know where all this emotion came from."

"..."

"Letting her go out and play might change her mood a bit—that's what I think. Similarly, Xiaoshu, you haven't had any relaxing time in a while, right?"

"Then where should we go for fun?" Lin Jiashu didn't have any objection.

"How about Dorobiga Paradise? I noticed that Xiaolan seemed very interested in the photos she took there before."

interested……

That photo should be a photo of her and Kudo Shinichi, right?

Lin Jiashu remembered these things, and also remembered that she recovered her memory in Dorobiga Park.

So he smiled and said, "Then let's go to Dorobiga Park."

"That's great..." Kisaki Eri smiled brightly. "Speaking of which, since Xiaoshu opened the detective agency, Auntie hasn't helped you much. How about you treat this as a commission from Auntie?"

"In that case, Aunt Eri will have to help reimburse tomorrow's expenses."

"Of course, I'll also cook for Xiaoshu myself when the time comes."

"..."

Facing the sweet smile of Kisaki Eri, the smile on Lin Jiashu's face froze.

But in order not to reveal his flaws, he nodded gently: "That's great. I'm quite sorry that I can't have dinner with everyone tonight... Let's all go together then."

If Kogoro Mouri and Conan eat two meals and he only eats one, he still wins.

Kisaki Eri, who didn't understand why this kid was thinking about dragging others into trouble, still smiled.

She checked the time and saw it was already past ten o'clock.

"Xiao Lan should be asleep at this hour, so I'll talk to her tomorrow."

"Ok."

Chapter 170: Please, Brother Jiashu

The next morning, downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency

"I'm going out!"

Edogawa Conan, who had gotten up early, ran downstairs in a hurry, holding a solar skateboard in his hand, while Maori Kogoro opened the window on the second-floor balcony and shouted: "Wait! Today we are going to--"

"I have an appointment and will be back late."

Conan didn't listen to what Kogoro Mouri said at all. He just waved his hand, stepped on his solar skateboard and disappeared.

Today he plans to investigate the suspicious points in the case that he noticed at the banquet.

Anyway, Xiaolan is not in any danger now, and if he doesn't investigate those cases, he always feels like he has a breath that he can't let out.

A moment later, a silver car slowly drove up to the office building.

Hayashi Yoshiki and Kisaki Eri got off the car together.
