Kexue Magician

Chapter 16 Let's Learn a Foreign Language
"The front page of "Dongdu Daily" - Mori Kogoro solves another strange case, the armor that walks in the middle ages."

"The second edition of "Kanto Daily" - the murder case of Mihua Art Museum, the consequences of not keeping promises."

"The third edition of "Nichimai Daily" - Mihua Art Museum, which has experienced 50 years of ups and downs, where will it go?"

Maori Detective Agency, in the office.

On the iron table, there were three newspapers.

Mori Kogoro made some selections, and finally picked up the "Dongdu Daily" and read it aloud:
"Recently, strange footsteps suddenly came from the Mihua Art Museum in the middle of the night... Until yesterday, when two security guards were inspecting the Hell Pavilion, they saw medieval armor walking..."

"The former head of the Forcible Crime Division of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Section, Mori Kogoro, based on the evidence provided by the police officers such as Megu Shisan, the head of the Third Division of the Police Department's Forcible Investigation Division, used rigorous reasoning and extraordinary wisdom to successfully complete the investigation. Find the murderer."

"What is surprising is that the recently famous 'Sleeping Kogoro' actually cracked the case awake."

"This is the front page of Dongdu Daily! I used to be on the second and third pages!"

"Wahhahahahahahahaha!"

After reading this, Maoli Xiaowu, who was sitting on a chair with his legs resting on the iron table, raised his head, stuck out his long tongue, and laughed loudly.

"Dad is amazing!"

"In this way, as long as Dad works hard, we can receive more cases and earn more money!"

Mao Lilan, who was mopping the floor, stopped. She was happy for her father's achievements and praised with joy.

"Please, it's just being on the front page of "Dongdu Daily". Is it worth being so happy?"

"Besides, "Toto Daily" is only a local newspaper. Even if the population of Tokyo is close to 1000 million, in terms of influence and sales, "Toto Daily" is far inferior to a regional newspaper like "Kanto Daily."

"In the past, as long as it was a case-solving incident, I would monopolize the front page of national newspapers such as "Nichimai Daily."

On the sofa, Conan, who was reading comic books, was rendered speechless by Mori Kogoro's triumphant and piercing laughter. He almost couldn't even read the comics.

"Conan, do you think Dad is very powerful?"

Mao Lilan bent down, with a proud smile on her face, and asked.

"Ah, ah?"

"Sister Xiaolan, are you asking me?"

Edogawa Conan pointed at himself with his little finger, blinked his eyes and asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Mao Lilan looked at Conan expectantly and said.

In her opinion, Conan must be as powerful as she thinks Mori Kogoro is.

"Sister Xiaolan is right, uncle is really amazing!"

"I adore him so much!"

"In the future, I must learn more from my uncle! Become a famous detective!"

Conan, who had to pretend to be a child's normal reaction in order not to reveal his secrets, cheered up and shouted in a happy voice.

"Yeah, Conan, you can do it!"

Mao Lilan smiled into a crescent shape, gently touched Conan's head, and then started mopping the floor again.

Damn!
My famous detective Kudo Shinichi actually said such shameful words!
Being a kid is such a hassle!

When Mao Lilan couldn't see her expression, the excitement on Conan's face disappeared immediately, and even his small face became a little distorted.

"Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Mao Lilan, who thought someone had come to the door, hurried to open the door.

And in just a few seconds.

Mori Kogoro put his feet under the iron table with lightning speed, and immediately his crooked suit and tie were tidied up.

When Fengchu came in, he saw Kogoro Mori sitting on a chair holding a newspaper and not squinting.

"Uncle Maori."

Feng Chu greeted with a confident smile.

Now he is a real magician, even if he is not confident.

"Ah, it's you kid."

"What's the matter with me?"

Mori Kogoro's straight waist immediately shrank like loose dough, and his expression changed from serious to funny.

Feng Chu looked at Mao Lilan, blinked and said: "Uncle Mao Li, you are really a noble person who forgets things too much. Didn't we agree when we were in the art museum yesterday?"

Mori Kogoro frowned on his left brow and raised his right brow, thinking about what was going on.

next moment.

Mori Kogoro slapped his thigh and jumped up.

He rubbed his palms, with a smile on his face that men can understand, his eyes lit up and said: "I remember, go learn a foreign language, let's go learn a foreign language!"

"But, it's still broad daylight, isn't the atmosphere not very good? How about we go at night?"

Mori Kogoro looked at the wall clock on the wall, it showed 11:02.

"Uncle Maori, you don't understand this."

"It's only during the day that I can see clearly. If at night, those colorful lights dazzle my eyes, how can I see clearly? How about a good choice?"

Feng Chu shook his head, looking full of experience.

"Hey hey hey, you kid is right."

Maoli Xiaogoro laughed a few times, then pulled his tie, and said to Mao Lilan with a serious face: "Xiaolan, I will go out with your Fengchu brother, so I don't have to cook my meal at noon."

After finishing speaking, Mori Kogoro stepped forward and walked towards the door, as if he really wanted to get down to business.

"Wait! One! One click!"

Mao Lilan dropped the mop, grabbed the arm of Moori Kogoro who was about to walk by her, and said with a bad look: "I want to go together too."

"Ah! You want to go too? Then who will cook for that kid Conan?"

Mori Kogoro's heart skipped a beat, and he gave a reasonable reason.

"Conan is going with us too, isn't that good?"

"Also, Dad, you shouldn't be going to do something shameful, so it doesn't matter if you take us with you, right?"

A dangerous light flashed in Mao Lilan's eyes, and she gradually grabbed Moori Kogoro's arm and said with a smile.

"Uh, this, this..."

"I have no objection, but this is Feng Chu's treat, you have to ask him."

Feeling the pain, Mori Kogoro turned pale, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

Feng Chu, who was watched by the three of Mao Lilan, couldn't help laughing: "Since Uncle Mao Li has no objection, I will naturally do as I please."

So, the four of them went out together.

Led by the entangled Mori Kogoro, Fengchu and others came to a French restaurant.

Fresh and delicious cabbage soup (Soupe aux choux).

Foie gras (foie gras d'oie) cooked just right.

Classic Burgundy Beef Stew (Buf bourguignon)

Pot-au-feu with a rustic flavor.

···
After enjoying the above delicacies.

Edogawa Conan said in his heart—since he became a child, he finally had a good meal.

Mao Lilan smiled happily: "So that's what Dad and Brother Feng Chu said about learning foreign languages, and I learned it too."

Before leaving the house, Fengchu had already guessed that it would be like this, and Mori Kogoro, whose wish had been shattered, looked at each other with a feeling of sympathy.
