Next, Mori Kogoro

Chapter 68 [068] Family Dinner

"No, it's not an alliance, you are at most my research object."

Xiao Ai ignored Conan's outstretched hand: "Currently you are the only survivor I know, so through reverse research on your DNA, perhaps an antidote can be developed as soon as possible."

"If there is an antidote, there is a possibility now."

"The bottle of white wine?"

Conan sighed: "That's right, it would be great if we could steal it."

Xiao Ai calmly said: "Why do you want to steal it, we can ask for it in a fair manner."

"Are you kidding?" Conan glanced at Xiao Ai with disdain, "You forgot Xiao Lan's attitude just now, if we ask for it in a fair and honest manner, we will definitely not be punished."

"That's you, I'm not sure."

Xiao Ai said slowly.

"Hmph, I don't believe you can come."

"What if I could?"

"Then... I will trust you for the time being, and let you conduct research on me."

"Although if I don't come, you will have to be studied by me, but... well, I accept this bet, and you must not regret it."

Xiao Ai and Conan walked out of the bathroom, first went to call Kogoro who had been recuperating in the bedroom, and then the three went to the third floor for dinner.

Xiaolan's craftsmanship is really outstanding. In this short period of time, she cooked a table full of delicacies.In addition, there were drinks in front of everyone (except for Kogoro, who always drank wine at the dinner table), and even Fei Yingri poured himself a glass of beer for the first time.

"First of all, I would like to welcome Xiao Ai to officially join our big family. Let's raise our glasses."

Fei Yingli raised the cup first, and the others quickly followed.

"Thank you, Aunt Concubine, thank you, Sister Xiaolan."

Xiao Ai's face was red, and she didn't know whether it was hot or excited.

"Thank you both, what about me?"

Kogoro licked his face and asked.

"Go, what does it have to do with you, a bad old man."

Fei Yingli kicked Kogoro unceremoniously.

"Hi, you yellow-faced woman..."

Kogoro protested.

"You old drunkard, go play and don't scare Xiao Ai."

Fei Yingli pulled Xiao Lan and Xiao Ai to her side: "From today onwards, both of them will be with me, you can hang out by yourself, no one will care about you."

Kogoro snorted: "Then you take that kid Conan away by the way, leaving me alone and more free."

Looking at the lively scene of Kogoro and the others laughing and playing, Conan felt a little sour for some reason.

In his memory, even if his parents were at home, his family of three never seemed to have this kind of life of ordinary citizens.

As if seeing Conan's depression, Xiao Lan quickly touched Conan's head: "Don't forget Conan, he is also a member of our family..."

"How is he a member of our family?"

Before Xiaolan finished speaking, Xiao Wulang interrupted her: "He's just a kid who lives in our house. By the way, it's been so long, why haven't his parents come back? It's fine if they don't come back, even They don’t even pay their living expenses, so the parents are too unreliable, right?”

Yes, yes, those two guys are really unreliable.

Conan complained in his heart.

"Oh, Dad, don't talk about these things on a happy day today."

Xiaolan quickly smoothed things over: "I think Conan's parents must be delayed by something (Conan: Hehe, they were delayed by playing), which parents don't miss their children (Conan: My family doesn't), anyway Tomorrow, I will ask Dr. Ali to ask."

Except for this small episode, the overall atmosphere of the dinner is still very harmonious, warm and positive, except that Kogoro drank too much (well, Kogoro's drinking capacity is a mystery, he gets drunk when he drinks alone at home, and drinks with outsiders outside Not drunk at all), hugged Fei Yingli and called Mama-san, but was beaten up by Xiaolan, everything else was perfect.

After being drunk and full, Xiao Ai glanced at the wine bottle and said to Fei Yingli: "Aunt Fei, can you give me a glass of white wine?"

"Of course, take it"

Feiying didn't even think about her ideals, and directly gave Xiao Ai the unfinished bottle of Laobaigan.

Conan: "..."

"Huh? Xiao Ai, what do you want these liquors for?"

Xiaolan asked curiously.

"Oh, the hands-on homework assigned by the school, I want to use it for experiments."

"That's right. Are these enough? Not enough. I'll go get a few more bottles from Dad's wine cabinet."

"..."

Conan, who saw this scene, felt that his heart was about to break.

Why?
Why should I be beaten if I want to get wine, but Huiyuan everyone is obedient.

Not fair.

When will a man stand up?

shivering cold...

Xiao Ai doesn't care about Conan's rich mental activities. After obediently thanking Fei Yingli and Xiao Ran, she goes downstairs with the bottle in her arms.Conan quickly followed, and when he came to the living room on the second floor, Conan couldn't wait to say: "Come on, let me have a drink."

"No, I have to wait in my laboratory, because I need to collect various data."

Xiao Ai directly refused.

"laboratory?"

Conan was stunned: "You still have a laboratory?"

"That's right, Aunt Concubine turned the basement of her law firm into a laboratory."

"Then keep it secret?"

"Don't worry, Auntie Fei never cares what I do, and has never been to the laboratory."

"real or fake?"

Conan stared at Xiao Ai suspiciously: "Could it be that Aunt Fei Yingli really trusts you so much?"

"That's not proven yet?"

Xiao Ai shook the wine bottle.

Conan was immediately speechless.

"By the way, you seem to have lost the bet just now, right?"

Xiao Ai put the wine bottle into her schoolbag and said without raising her head, "Then from tomorrow on, you will cooperate with me in the experiment every day, and you will be there whenever you are called."

Not hearing Conan's answer, she raised her head: "Did you hear me clearly?"

"Know~ I know~"

Conan gasped.

"Don't feel troublesome, and don't think that you will be safe when you become smaller. To be honest, at first I thought it was all thanks to you that Uncle became a famous detective, but now it seems that you are really slow, and you are not as good as Mao Li. Uncle."

Xiao Ai lowered her head again and sorted out her homework: "Haven't you ever thought that if the organization continues to use APTX4869 to assassinate, sooner or later it will become smaller like us. At that time, we will be in danger, because The organization has photos of me when I was a child..."

She was taken aback suddenly: "Speaking of photos, I remember that my sister sent me a few floppy disks before. Inside the floppy disks were photos of her going out with her friends. After I saw them, I returned them to her, but After that, a floppy disk containing important data was lost. Could it be..."

Conan understood instantly, and said anxiously, "You guessed that one of the important floppy disks was returned to your sister?"

Xiao Ai nodded: "There is a possibility."

"Then this floppy disk is probably still at your sister's place?"

"Impossible. After my sister died, her residence was carefully cleaned up, and no clues will be left behind."

Xiao Ai squeezed her chin: "But my sister once said that those photos were saved in a floppy disk by a professor from a certain university, so..."

"So your sister probably returned the floppy disk to the professor just like you did."

Conan frowned tightly: "Do you still remember the name of that professor?"

"Nanyang University, Masaki Hirota."

"Hirota?!"

Conan's heart sank slightly, the woman who died in front of him was really Haibara's sister!
