Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 402 Suddenly more people care
  The news the next day was still the same thing, and people from the Shogi Association were still urging him to make a decision quickly.

Fujiwara guessed what the rest of the content was as soon as he read the beginning, so he turned off the TV without even looking at it.

"Let's eat. There's nothing interesting to watch on TV. Do you want some spring rolls, Mary? I'll get them for you. Oh, you can get them yourself, but be careful, these are a bit hot."

It was the first time he noticed Fujiwara Hoshiumi's appearance, and even Azusa Enomoto could see that Fujiwara was actually in a very unhappy mood.

"Would you like some fish for lunch? Or try a new dish I learned recently, called sugar-crusted tenderloin?" Azusa Enomoto tried to divert Fujiwara's attention.

"Eat fish. Mary likes fish very much, and I have recently been trying to understand whether fish can help improve memory, or whether eating too much will cause people to have only seven seconds of memory."

Thinking about the sudden increase in the number of people who 'care' about him recently, Fujiwara's pressure doubled.

Just thinking about escaping this situation, it would be great if eating fish could make people forget those unnecessary things.

On the other side, Mary, who was about to walk her cat upstairs, looked back and seemed to have thought of something, so she quickly walked upstairs, and after a while she brought something like a communicator and handed it to Fujiwara.

"This is?"

Fujiwara didn't look carefully, but after weighing it in his hand for a few times, he realized that this thing was a detective badge made by Dr. Agasa for the young detective.

Thinking that Conan had lived in his home for a period of time before, it must have been left over from that period.

"This should belong to Conan. He has lived in the room you are living in before. This is called Detective Badge. It is a small detective organization set up by Conan and several of his classmates. It can make encrypted calls about fifty meters away, and I have one too."

Mary was shocked after hearing this, and immediately thought that the two people named Edogawa Conan and Fujiwara Hoshikai were agents, but this idea was quickly rejected by her.

(I thought it was a bug. Is it really such a thing? But how did they buy this kind of miniature communicator?)

Fujiwara saw Mary's curiosity, so he explained, "This was made by a very smart scientist. If Mary also wants one, I will ask the doctor to make one for you."

Mary nodded after hearing this, saying that she wanted it too.

"Well, if that's the case, let me tell Dr. Ali now. This thing won't take long. Maybe we can get it in a few days."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Both of them were stunned for a moment, wondering who would visit at this time.

Mary turned and hurried toward the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a strange girl.

"Hey kid? Is Brother Xinghai at home?" Xiaolan, who saw Mary for the first time, asked in surprise,
  The girl's hair was so cute that it made Xiaolan's heart burst. When she just wanted to touch the little girl's hair, the girl easily dodged it.

Mary closed the door and turned back to Fujiwara Hoshikai and said, "There is a girl looking for you."

"Girl? Are you pretty?"

Mary was immediately embarrassed. She really didn't expect Fujiwara Hoshikai to ask her such a question.

Seeing that Mary didn't say anything for a long time, Fujiwara got up and opened the door and found Mao Lilan.

"Isn't this pretty?"

Xiaolan saw that the other party praised her beauty as soon as they met, so her cheeks turned slightly red, "Well, Brother Xinghai, have you seen my dad and Conan? Our club activities were canceled today, so I thought about buying them something to cook. A meal, you didn’t expect that I didn’t see them come back even after waiting here for a long time?”

When Fujiwara heard this, he immediately thought of the 'father and son' who were playing mahjong in a mahjong parlor.

So he replied, "Those two people should be nearby, maybe at the mahjong parlor, right?"

"Mahjong parlor? Impossible. Although my father is unreliable, he wouldn't take a child to a place like that, right?"

Fujiwara saw that Mao Lilan so firmly rejected the option that was most like the correct answer, and smiled speechlessly, "Just go and have a look and you will know. I will go with you. I happen to have something to return to Conan."

"Ok."

These words instantly made Xiao Lan question her father's bottom line. He, a great detective, couldn't take his children to play that gray and dirty gambling game, right?

Seeing that Fujiwara was about to go out, Mary quickly put on her shoes and followed him.

"Who is this girl?" Fujiwara Xinghai, who had already expected it, smiled, "I am the daughter of a cousin, and she plans to play with me for a few days."

After saying that, I had no choice but to pull Mary across the street.

"That's the mahjong parlor where the teacher often goes."

At this moment, the mahjong parlor happened to help Kogoro get a bar with all colors.

Kogoro was very excited when he saw this, and immediately changed his expression and asked everyone to take the money.

"Hey, I'm really unlucky today. I'll keep losing. I'll go back first." The man paid the money and stood up to leave.

Four missing one
  "Since there is no one, let me contact President Hiita."

"President Feitian?" Everyone asked curiously.

"He's the president of Feitian Financial. He's very rich, and he loves mahjong as much as we do."

Kogoro, who was very confident about today's luck, nodded in agreement.

"Then ask him to come over."

After the call was connected, the man chatted for a while and then hung up the phone and said that President Hiita would arrive in 30 minutes.

"Huh? You are really here. No wonder there is no one in the office. So you are here?"

As soon as Xiaolan entered the door, she shouted at Mouri Kogoro, "And dad, how can you bring Conan to a place like this to play with such things?"

Conan and Kogoro were immediately suppressed by Xiaolan's arrogance and were speechless.

"Conan! From now on, should you refuse to know if my father asks you to come to a place like this?"

"understood."

Conan happily jumped off Kogoro's knee and was about to leave with Xiaolan. When someone at the mahjong table saw Fujiwara, he immediately shouted, "Why don't Fujiwara join us?"

"Fujiwara?"

Kogoro and Conan turned around at the same time and saw Fujiwara at the door.

(No wonder Xiaolan came here, it turned out to be Brother Fujiwara)
  (No wonder Xiaolan came here, it turned out that this kid betrayed his master.)

After hearing this, Fujiwara came over, thinking about the troubles he had been having these past few days and felt like he could do something about it.

After seeing this, Mary followed Fujiwara into the mahjong parlor and looked around curiously.

She was not unfamiliar with mahjong, having played it a long time ago.

(No, why do I think I played with this thing a long time ago? I am obviously a child)
  She felt a little headache and unconsciously hugged Fujiwara's trouser legs.

Fujiwara lifted Mary up and held her in his arms without much effort. Regarding her reaction just now, he thought she just didn't like it here.

Seeing this, Mouri Kogoro reminded, "There is no need to hold a child of this age all the time. It will be easy to spoil him and become disobedient when he grows up."

"This child has just recovered from a serious illness and is just a little afraid of life."

After placing Mary on his knee, Fujiwara and several others began to draw cards.

Mouri Kogoro patted the mountain of cards with satisfaction because of his winning streak, and smiled at a few people: "Okay, let's get started. Who is the banker today?"

Fujiwara looked at it for a moment, pursed his lips, smiled, and suggested, "How about I be the banker?"

"No problem, everything is fine." Kogoro said with a smile.
