Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 1797 1796 [Maorilan's conspiracy]

  Tokyo, the dark night.

  Jiang Xia is wandering around on a motorcycle, trying to come across some cases, or run into some colleagues who also haunt in the middle of the night.

   Halfway through the stroll, he suddenly felt the phone vibrate next to him.

   Judging from the duration of the shock, the sender should be the ones who were the most involved in the case.

  Jiang Xia was startled, stopped the car immediately, took out his mobile phone to check: "..." Could it be that some acquaintance who stayed up late at night encountered a case and wanted to send him over to help?

   However, when the screen is turned on, there is only a boring and ordinary message in the email, from the shrunken Kudo-san:

  [I heard that you went to school today, did anything unusual happen in school? For example, Xiaolan met some interesting male classmates or teachers. ]

  Jiang Xia: "..."

  He blandly deleted the news with a case content of 0, put the phone back in his pocket, pretended to be asleep and couldn't reply, and continued to focus on driving his car.

  …

   On the second day, Conan came to meet them with a pair of big dark circles under his eyes.

   Arrived at Izu Beach, and Conan hadn't fully woken up yet.

  The sea breeze blew past, Conan yawned, raised his head and glanced at Jiang Xia, and found that Jiang Xia did not have dark circles under his eyes, but looked refreshed.

  So Conan had no choice but to guess that the traveling detective fell asleep early and didn't see his email.

  Jiang Xia saw Conan's appearance clearly, and he was really surprised, and teased in a low voice: "You are not really a primary school student, but you are so excited that you can't sleep all night because you are going to travel?"

  Conan: "…"

  He sighed and didn't want to say more.

  Jiang Xia then went to see other people.

  Different from Sonoko Suzuki’s plan, Kogoro Mori actually came together—probably caught by his daughter with a bait like “there are many beauties in bikinis by the sea”.

  Seeing that Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko were both looking at her father, Mao Lilan knew that high school students sometimes don’t like being accompanied by their parents when they travel, so she quickly explained: "My father just came to see the beach, and we still have to go to Mitian Island by ourselves."

  Jiang Xia nodded, but didn't mind about it: "Actually, if uncle wants to go to the island, I think I can take him to play with him."

  Jiang Xia had no objection, so Suzuki Sonoko had no objection either. Anyway, Mori Kogoro didn’t have the majesty of any parent. In her eyes, he was just a bragging uncle: “Then let’s go together?”

  Moori Kogoro waved his hand with a lack of interest: "Forget it, you only have a bunch of little kids over there. I still prefer the scenery of the beach—look!"

   Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he raised his hand and pointed under the parasol next to him: "You don't understand the entertainment of adults, for example, there are no such beautiful beauties on your island!"

  Jiang Xia turned her head and looked over, and saw that there was indeed a beautiful woman in a swimsuit standing next door. The woman with her back to this side, wearing a backless swimsuit, was wiping her dripping hair while she lowered her head to pick up the sunscreen on the table.

  Suddenly hearing Kogoro Mori shout, the woman frowned and turned her head, revealing a familiar face under the towel.

  —Fei Yingli.

   is Mao Lilan's mother, Mao Li Kogoro's currently separated wife.

  Fei Eri turned her head and saw Mori Kogoro, she was obviously taken aback, as if she had seen a ghost: "Why are you here?"

Maori Kogoro:"…"

  Suzuki Sonoko: "..." The uncle's vision is really consistent.

  Conan: "..." It turned out that Xiaolan was meeting with Aunt Yingli last night...I didn't sleep well all night because of this.

  Mao Lilan had already rushed to the middle of the two, with a look of surprise on his face: "Wow~ there is such a coincidence! You two are so destined to meet so many people on the beach!"

  Jiang Xia took a look at her hard work, raised her hands and applauded: "Indeed."

  Moori Kogoro looked at his daughter: "Oh, you secretly arranged it again!"

  Fei Yingli also looked at her: "I should have thought of..."

  Mao Lilan had no choice but to blink, pretending to be stupid: "Huh?"

  …

  Even if it is not a husband and wife relationship for the time being, they are acquaintances after all. Now that we have met, of course we have to sit down and have a cup of tea and something to eat.

   Several people arrived at the seaside cafe.

   Sitting at the square table, Mo Lilan looked at Mori Kogoro on the left, and then at Fei Yingli on the right, and finally couldn't help but asked Jiang Xia in a low voice: "Have I really been exposed?"

  Jiang Xia glanced at her, and said tactfully: "Maybe, maybe not yet."

   "..." Mao Lilan fiddled with the napkin, and decided to relax the atmosphere first. She smiled and looked at her parents, "It's rare to meet, why don't we worry about other things and enjoy the beach together!"

  Moori Kogoro sneered: "I was really concentrating on enjoying the beach until just now, but unfortunately I was interrupted by an aunt who was still wearing a beautiful swimsuit at a certain age."

  Fei Yingli also smiled: "I don't know who was talking to that aunt in a beautiful swimsuit just now, it's so embarrassing that people can't see it."

   "...huh!" Mori Kogoro couldn't find a rebuttal, got up and left angrily.

  Mao Lilan grabbed Jiang Xia with one hand and Sonoko Suzuki with the other, and shouted silently: What to do!

  Jiang Xia's arm hurt from being pinched by her, so she had to seriously help and find a way.

  Thinking for a moment, he whispered to Mao Lilan in a volume that Fei Yingli couldn't hear: "Didn't the 'new doctor' say that he will come later? It's better to leave it to the adults to find a way."

—As expected, when Suzuki Sonoko took Mao Lilan to invite her to the island, Belmode, who was wearing a "new doctor" disguise, heard the news. Although his face became very complicated in an instant, in the end it was accepted.

She just agreed, she seemed to want to avoid too much contact with some people, and she also wanted to try her best to cover up her abnormal attitude towards Mao Lilan and Conan, so she didn't plan to have fun at the beach with the students, and only said that she would be in the They came to meet up before going to the island.

When Mao Lilan heard Jiang Xia's proposal, she was taken aback for a while, and then thought it was wonderful: Yes, my father and mother should still have feelings for each other, but each is more face-saving than the other, and their mouths are still very stubborn. Ken takes the lead in repairing the relationship. At this time, it is time to introduce a third-party force—the new doctor is so handsome, maybe Dad will feel a sense of crisis immediately when he sees him, and then he can take the lead in expressing his attitude or something.

  Thinking of the wonderful scene of the two shaking hands and making peace, Mao Lilan's eyes lit up, and she quietly gave Jiang Xia a thumbs up under the table.

   But then, she suddenly noticed something.

  Mao Lilan's eyes fell on Fei Yingli's hand, and she was suddenly startled: "Mom, why don't you wear a wedding ring? Don't you usually wear it all the time?"
