Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 30 Maori Kogoro

Shi Ye took Xia Mei, starting from Xiamihua where the Sweet House was located, passing through Shangmihua all the way, and finally found a house that fit his heart in Dongmihua, which is a densely populated residential area.

It was a three-story single-family small western-style building with an independent courtyard and walls, and the house had just been renovated not long ago, and the head of the household was in a hurry to sell it because of financial problems before moving in.

Neither of them is the kind of person who has too many requirements for decoration. They think that the house type, location and price are all suitable, so they decide to go through the transfer procedures in a few days.

In fact, although Ishino has a small amount of savings in the past five years, most of them have been spent on renting and renovating the storefront. Therefore, his original goal is an apartment building with higher cost performance.

But who makes Xia Mei a rich woman, she prefers a single-family house with a small garden, and hopes that her children will have more room for activities in the future.

Ishino also felt that the privacy of the detached house was better, and it was also convenient for him to go out, so he readily agreed with Xia Mei's decision.

After all, the wife pays for it, and she herself is happy. This soft rice Ishino eats with peace of mind, really delicious!
After choosing the love nest, seeing that it was still early, the two decided to walk slowly along the street to the station.

When passing by the Mihua Art Museum, they saw that there was an exhibition of medieval art in the museum. Xia Mei, who was very interested in artworks, proposed to visit it, so the two walked into the art museum holding hands.

As soon as he stepped into the hall of the exhibition hall, Shi Ye saw a middle-aged uncle with a combination of a female high school student and a little boy, and couldn't help frowning.

It's true that the more you don't want to meet someone, the more you want to meet.Ishino complained silently in his heart that he, the son of prophecy who was connected with the will of the world, could not escape the harassment of Conan, the son of the world after all.

Seeing the death trio, Ishino naturally immediately remembered the next case that would happen here.

But looking at Natsumi who was excited beside him, Ishino certainly couldn't turn around and leave in disappointment, so the only way to solve the problem in advance was to try his best.

……

"Wow, what a beautiful color!" Xiaolan looked at an oil painting in front of her, her eyes sparkling.

"I also like this painting very much. It's really beautiful." Xia Mei led Ishino to the painting, and agreed with the girl next to her.

"That's right!" Hearing the echo from the side, Xiaolan turned her head happily, and then saw the two people beside her, with a pleasant surprise on her face, "Ah, it's Mr. Ishino! And this... "

"She is my fiancée, Kasaka Natsumi." Ishino smiled and introduced to Xiaolan, and Mori Kogoro and Conan, who were still on the sidelines just now, and now followed the sound, "We met in the tropical paradise a few days ago. Come face to face, right?"

"That's right, it was that day." Xiaolan was a little happy when she heard that the other party remembered her, but then she remembered that Kudo Shinichi disappeared after that day, and her expression became a little lonely.

Conan who was on the side saw Xiaolan's expression, and immediately shuddered, thinking that he must find a way to recover his body as soon as possible.

Then Ishino looked at the mustache uncle who was coming and said, "This must be the famous detective Mr. Mori Kogoro, and he has known his name for a long time."

"You know me?" Mori Kogoro pointed at himself in confusion, "I don't know if you are..."

"It's the big brother who is very good at making desserts!" Conan reminded at the right time, "I saw the photos in sister Xiaolan's gourmet magazine."

"Oh, I remembered! It's Mr. Ishino, a dessert artist. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Mori Kogoro glanced at the cute Conan, and then extended his right hand to Ishino.

"You are welcome. I have often seen your name in newspapers and news recently." Ishino also extended his right hand and shook hands with the other party.

"Where is it? It's just that I've had better luck recently, hahaha~~" Hearing the other party's praise, Mori Kogoro laughed rather complacently, causing the daughter and the kid beside him to roll their eyes.

During the few days when Conan lived in Mori's house, Mori Kogoro solved several major cases one after another, and became the headline figure of major news newspapers, so what Ishino said was indeed the truth.

In fact, just now Ishino took the initiative to talk to the other party, which contained some tentative elements.

After all, Kogoro Mori's performance in the animation is really confusing.Most of the time, he behaves like a good-for-nothing uncle, and when encountering close people involved in the case, he will show unusual wisdom and calmness.

Even in so many episodes of animation, Mori Kogoro has long known the origin of his name "Sleeping Kogoro", but he has never shown the slightest doubt. Unless he is mentally ill, it is really difficult to explain this phenomenon.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the other party is hiding extremely deeply and is a big boss pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Ishino considered that many actions in the future may be carried out under the eyes of the other party, so it is very necessary to take this opportunity to find out the details of the other party as soon as possible.

Kogoro Mori's inadvertent glance at Conan before has been keenly captured by Ishino.

Not to mention whether he has doubts about Conan's abnormality, the ability to change expressions at this moment alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Afterwards, Mori Kogoro offered to shake hands, which was somewhat beyond Ishino's expectation.

In terms of the personality shown by the other party, it should not be the kind of person who would go up to shake hands when seeing a public figure of his level, unless he met someone like Okino Yoko or Suzuki Shiro.

Then the other party took the initiative to shake hands because I gave the other party a good first impression, or the other party discovered something and valued me, this is still unknown for the time being.

In just a few seconds of handshake, Ishino had already determined that Mori Kogoro was definitely not a simple person.

Although he knew that Mori Kogoro's marksmanship was the best in the police academy, but after Ishino personally felt the calluses on the other party's hands, he still felt that the other party's efforts for this were far beyond what anyone could match.

In addition, while he was observing the other party while shaking hands, Ishino could feel that under the other party's squinted crescent eyes, a pair of pupils were also quickly scanning him.

However, with Mori Kogoro's fighting power that can win the national judo championship, during the process of testing each other just now, the two did not show any vigilance. Ishino believes that the other party does not think he is a dangerous person.

After the two sides tested each other briefly, Xiaolan on the side also introduced herself in a timely manner, and she also brought the Shinigami elementary school student beside her.

"I forgot to introduce myself. I am his daughter, Mao Lilan, and this child is Edogawa Conan who is temporarily staying in our house."

"Sister Xia Mei, brother Ishino, hello." Conan greeted the two with a cute voice.

"Hello, little Conan." Xia Mei looked at Conan with a round face, and felt that he was smart and clever, so she touched his head with a smile and greeted him kindly.

Ishino also greeted Conan in a friendly manner, thinking that since he pleases his wife so much, it would not be impossible to take care of him more in the future.

Just as the group exchanged pleasantries with each other, when the topic was re-focused on a group of artworks, an old man with white hair and long beard came from the side and joined the conversation.
