Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 431 Some speculations about Mary
  In the afternoon, Fujiwara returned to the office door holding flowers. As soon as she knocked on the door, Mary held the tabby cat and opened the door.

"Welcome back," Mary said calmly.

"Mary? I thought you were taking a nap at this time. I haven't seen you for a while. Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Mary shook the tabby cat in her hand expressionlessly.

"Meow~" After being shaken awake, Momo opened his sleepy eyes and saw Fujiwara Hoshikai in front of him.

Fujiwara put down the flower in his hand, squatted down and touched the tabby cat's hair.

"Long time no see, do you miss me?"

The tabby cat held in Mary's arms nodded and extended its paw towards Fujiwara, but was rejected.

"I'll hug you later."

After speaking, Fujiwara glanced inside the room and silently changed his shoes after noticing that Azusa Enomoto was not there.

(It’s like taking a bath and sleeping.)

When I was about to go upstairs to change my clothes, I noticed a bouquet of flowers on the sofa table.

"Who put this flower here?"

"The day after you won the championship. She took me to pick them. She has been taking care of these flowers since you came back these days."

Fujiwara was slightly surprised, but thought that this was quite consistent with her impression of Azusa Enomoto.

"When did she leave?"

"At noon, she originally planned to give the flowers to you in person, but she left first before you came. A boy came to pick her up. I guess it was her brother."

"Oh, you have pretty good eyesight. You noticed all this."

Although Fujiwara has never met Azusa Enomoto's brother, she doesn't know anything about it.

Enomoto Sugito, an employee of a securities company, will one day be framed and involved in a murder case...

For a moment, Mary couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a joke, so she had to hold the cat and walk upstairs, mumbling, "She left lunch for Ni in the kitchen, but from the look of you, you must have eaten." .”

"Yes, I've eaten." Fujiwara nodded.

If the sisters from the afterlife hadn't suddenly come to pick him up, he would have come back at noon and maybe he could have said goodbye to Azusa Enomoto.

But that's okay, she will come back anyway, and it won't be too late to thank her then.

After Fujiwara went upstairs to take a shower and change his clothes, he took two empty flower pots from the rooftop, filled them with some soil from the lawn in front of the house, and planted part of each of the two bouquets of flowers on them.

After doing all this, Fujiwara remembered what Kogoro had talked to him yesterday.

That one was about the commission from the president of the Nagato Group.

If I remember correctly, President Nagato originally planned to entrust Kogoro to investigate his first love.

I remember that Hattori Heiji would also go over to participate in this case, and his father would also go over to participate. It was at this moment that Conan strengthened his belief and completed his ideological evolution in a true sense.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Fujiwara had just finished transplanting the flowers and placed them on the windowsill, when the doorbell rang downstairs.

Mary looked back in front of the sofa and reluctantly put down the cat after seeing that Fujiwara was not on the first floor. She walked over and opened the door and found the confused detective and the bratty kid opposite.

Mouri Kogoro was a little surprised when he saw the cold little girl opening the door, "Um...is Fujiwara here?"

Mary turned around and saw Fujiwara Hoshikai coming down from Satoshi, so she walked into the house without looking back, leaving Kogoro angry and helpless with black lines on his head.     (What’s wrong with children nowadays? They are all so rude...)
  "Here we come. Hey, teacher, are you here to find me?"

"Yes, that's what I told you yesterday..."

When he learned that Kogoro had come to invite him to investigate the case at the residence of the president of the Nagato Group, he looked back at Mary who was playing with the cat, and said regretfully, "Sorry, I can't go there. If I leave suddenly, there will be no one to take care of the children at home." .”

Kogoro and Conan naturally understood who the child Fujiwara was talking about, and they also knew that a child as cold as her really needed someone to take care of her.

"Okay, if any client comes to see me, just ask him to call or come to me another day."

"Ok."

After seeing off Moori Kogoro and Conan, Fujiwara returned to the house and continued tinkering with the flowerpots.

In the evening, Fujiwara cooked a dinner according to the recipe. During the meal, Mary talked about Moori Kogoro's invitation.

"Actually, you don't have to refuse that confused detective. I can take care of myself here."

"Oh, is it so?"

Fujiwara didn't take Mary's words to heart. After all, given her age, Fujiwara didn't dare to leave her alone at home.

However, when he heard Mary call Kogoro a confused detective again, Fujiwara said curiously:

"Speaking of which, why have you been calling Mouri Kogoro the confused detective recently? Didn't I tell you not to call him that?"

It's true that Mouri Kogoro is a confused detective, but it doesn't make sense for a child to call him that. If others heard it, they might think it was Fujiwara who taught him.

Mary glanced at Fujiwara silently and hesitated before telling Fujiwara what she saw during the last murder case in the Death Circle.

"The boy named Conan aimed his watch at the back of Kogoro's erection and pressed a switch. I think it was an anesthetic needle. Then he ran behind the desk and imitated the confused detective's voice with his butterfly. The reasoning is completed..."

Speaking of which, Mary was surprised at first, but no one in the audience noticed Conan hiding under the sofa. They all looked at the sleeping Kogoro's reasoning in surprise.

"Isn't that confused detective named Sleeping Kogoro? I think it's the kid named Conan who's a bit weird. His thinking and logical reasoning abilities are completely unlike what a kid of his age should be like..."

Fujiwara was stunned on the spot after hearing this, and then said with relief, "So that's it. No wonder you suddenly called him that recently."

There is a saying that Conan was discovered entirely due to his own mistake, and was discovered by Mary, who was also very smart.

I remember Fujiwara once warned Conan not to stab Kogoro with an anesthetic needle...

Seeing that Mary's glass was empty, Fujiwara picked up the drink and prepared to pour her a glass.

"Well, since you found out about this, why are you telling me now?"

"I thought you knew."

I thought you knew it too. Fujiwara was speechless. He pondered for a while before getting up the drink and poured a drink for Mary.

"Conan is indeed not an ordinary child, but if his logical thinking ability is not in line with his age, Mary should be considered one of them."

Mary was stunned for a moment after hearing this, looking at the grape juice in her glass as if thinking about something.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, Fujiwara vaguely felt that Mary's situation should be similar to Conan's. Especially her resemblance to Xiao Ai cannot be described as a coincidence.

Maybe, just maybe, she might have shrunk because of aptx.

However, Fujiwara will not take the initiative to search for the truth before the truth is revealed, at least not before the billion-yen robbery.
