Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 370 The Prelude to the Dream
  Strange corridors, strange venues, but familiar figures.

Xiaolan, who fell down on the aisle, saw that her mother was being held hostage by a fierce-looking man with a knife, and her father was pointing a black pistol at her mother. The bento and soup they brought for Mouri Kogoro were scattered on the ground, and the air was filled with tension.

"Let me out of here quickly, or I will kill this woman." The gangster who was forced into a desperate situation had a fierce face, making everyone present tremble.

"Let my wife go first!" At this moment, Kogoro did not dare to give in, his finger was already on the trigger of the revolver.

Xiaolan was surprised to find how young Kogoro was at this time.

"Dear, don't worry about me." Fei Yingli, who was held hostage, still remained calm and restrained.

"Touch!" After Mouri Kogoro saw Fei Yingri's hint, he resolutely chose to shoot. The bullet grazed Fei Yingli's leg and passed through, and shot into the wall of the corridor.

"don't want!!!"

Seeing the blood spurting from her leg, Xiaolan woke up from the bed in fright. She looked around, looking for psychological comfort. She only saw the family photo placed beside the bed. She quickly grabbed it and buried it in her chest. Only then did her emotions calm down. Smoothed down a bit.

She often had this kind of dream, her father shot her mother, and her mother fell down.

After putting down the family photo, Xiaolan became more and more angry as she thought about it, so she opened the door and prepared to go to her mother's place to see it.

At this moment, Fei Yingli, who had woken up in a daze, was also awakened by Xiaolan's voice. After putting on her pajamas, she walked out of bed in a daze. As soon as she left the bedroom door, she saw Xiaolan sticking her head out from the corridor on the other side.

The two looked at each other, and Xiaolan took the initiative to run over to protect Fei Yingli.

Although Fei Yingli was a little confused, she followed Xiaolan's wishes and held her in her arms to comfort her gently.

"Did you have another nightmare?"

"Hmm, I dreamed that my father shot my mother again, and it was also in the corridor, and my mother was held hostage by a gangster." Xiaolan's voice was very depressed, which made Fei Yingli feel particularly distressed.

Fei Yingli stroked Xiaolan's hair distressedly, with a look of remorse and worry on her face. She took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, trying to keep her voice warm and comforting.

She felt very guilty in her heart. She shouldn't have let Xiaolan bear the pain alone.

"And I've been having this dream lately, and I'm very scared."

Fei Yingli hugged Xiaolan tightly, her inner self-blame getting stronger. She understood that this incident had caused great trauma to Xiaolan, leaving her struggling in such nightmares.

"Okay, it must be that you have read too many suspense mystery novels recently, which is why you have such an illusion. I suggest you read less of this kind of stuff."

Thinking of Xiaolan's recent purchase of a lot of mystery books, he tried to dispel her doubts and make her forget about this matter.

Sure enough, Xiaolan gradually regained her confidence and sobered up under her mother's persuasion.

Xiaolan, who was questioned, pouted and complained, "But the novels written by Brother Xinghai are so beautiful."

"what"

Fei Yingli was speechless by the rebuke, but she laughed out loud at the same time, "You just remembered to talk to me about Xinghai at this time, right? How are you guys lately? I don't think you keep in touch with each other very much."

"Oh, I've been a little busy lately because I'm preparing for the monthly exams, and Brother Xinghai also has his own career. I heard from Sonoko that Brother Xinghai and Sonoko's sister opened an entertainment company together, and even invited Miss Yoko over." "Opening a company? Oh, I know about this. I was also involved in the previous contract dispute between them and Yoko's former company, and they resolved the matter beautifully."

Not long after this incident, Fujiwara invited her to join the company as a legal consultant and offered her a very attractive salary.

"Mom is so amazing, but Brother Xinghai is also amazing. Not only can he write novels, but he can also start his own business."

"Well, he is very powerful, but Xiaolan is not bad either."

"No, but the mother in the dream is so young, and the father is also young and handsome."

Although it was a nightmare, Xiaolan also used this to get to know the younger version of her parents again.

Fei Yingli saw that Xiaolan still didn't forget to mention the dream, so she pushed Xiaolan pretending to be angry and said, "What are you talking about? I am obviously very young now~"

Xiaolan couldn't help laughing when she saw the other party's arrogant attitude.

She stopped her mother's waist from behind and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, my mother is the most beautiful!"

Fei Yingli was amused by Xiaolan's reaction and laughed. She gently held Xiaolan's hand and turned around to hold Xiaolan in her arms. "It seems that compared to a certain great detective, my daughter is more capable." vision."

Seeing her mother taking the initiative to talk about Kogoro, Xiaolan, who was still worried about the cancellation of the family gathering, suggested again, "Not necessarily. Once when he was drunk, his father once praised his mother as the most beautiful person he has ever met in his life. woman."

"Really? I don't believe it. He would never say that to me."

"Then let's meet dad today and let him tell you face to face, right?"

Fei Yingli hesitated for a moment and then came back to her senses and asked, "Are you thinking of arranging some magical encounter again? I don't want to be pissed off in such a hot summer, and we are going to be together this afternoon. Get to Izu.”

"Ah? No, it's just a simple meal together. But what did mom say about going to Izu?"

Xiaolan looked confused after hearing Fei Yingli's words.

"Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you yesterday. Fujiwara sent me a two-person Izu travel voucher and wanted me to take you there. I happen to be free these days, so let's go and play together."

"We're going on a trip to Izu. Why don't we invite dad and Conan to come too? We'll be on a family trip."

If family meals are not enough, then take a family trip. Presumably the parents will resolve their conflicts because they get along with each other.

"You're overthinking it. The great detective is out investigating a case, and I don't want to quarrel with him. After breakfast, you can pack your luggage for the past few days and we'll set off together in the afternoon."

"Ok."

Returning to the house, Fei Eri lifted up her pajamas and looked at the traces of the past. There was a bullet scratch on the upper thigh. This was a deliberate injury caused by Kogoro Mori eight years ago in order to save himself from being held hostage.

"Does Xiaolan still remember that incident? Probably not. Xiaolan was still very young at that time, and children should not retain such bad memories."

At that time, she knew that Kogoro did this because gangsters usually abandon injured hostages and it would be inconvenient to escape with a tow bottle, so she was more sympathetic to Kogoro's decision. However, Xiaolan was too young at the time, and when she saw Kogoro Shooting herself was such a shock that she later lost her memory.

Later, the Maori couple also made a tacit agreement not to mention this matter to Xiao Lan.
