Kogoro Mouri stubbornly argued:
"I drank it last night!"
"Sister Xiaolan, Uncle did drink last night. He said that being the supervisor of that game would earn him eight million, so he celebrated early last night!"
Although the two of them get along like father and son.
And Uncle Mori ordered a lavish takeout meal last night.
But Conan still sold out Kogoro Mouri without hesitation, and then he got a solid punch on the head.
Ran ignored Conan, who was screaming in pain.
This childhood sweetheart has recently become addicted to pretending to be a child, so let him play by himself!
She glared at her father with her beautiful eyes and gritted her teeth, saying:
"Dad, you've squandered money again before you even received your commission! And you're so drunk, you must have drunk a lot. You can't control yourself when I'm not home, you don't care about your health at all! And Conan, aren't you going to keep an eye on him?"
Conan lowered his head and pretended to be mute.
He knew he was only being targeted by Xiaolan's AOE (area of effect), and as long as he didn't speak, he wouldn't attract any attention.
really--
Ran just glared at Conan.
Continue attacking Kogoro Mouri:
"I've decided, I'll keep your game supervision fee this time, otherwise you'll squander it again! Humph, I haven't even asked you for the Conan allowance that Yukiko-nee gave you yet, that's enough for you to spend!"
"and many more!"
Kogoro Mouri panicked:
"Xiaolan, you've already moved in with your mom, so don't worry about how strict your dad is. Besides, I didn't drink much last night, just a little gin and vodka, it won't cause any problems!"
Gin and vodka?
These words immediately caught the attention of two people. (697)
Conan's expression turned somewhat serious.
Two days ago, I and Uncle Mori took the Shinkansen back to Tokyo. On the train, we encountered the two members of the black-clad organization who shrunk me. Through the bugging device, we learned that their codenames were Gin and Vodka!
If I hadn't watched Uncle Mori grow from a clueless cop to a clueless detective since I was a child, I might have already doubted his identity when I heard him suddenly mention Gin and vodka!
Talk about it.
We need to find a way to get more information as soon as possible and dismantle that black organization so that we can find an antidote to restore our bodies to their original state.
But it would be too weak and helpless to do it all by myself!
We still need to find some help!
Think of this.
Conan glanced at Natsume instinctively.
Talk about it.
Officer Xia Ye is indeed a very suitable candidate.
but--
Should we tell him the truth?
Is this dangerous?
If he reports to the Metropolitan Police Department, will he be arrested and used as a guinea pig to study the secret of rejuvenation?
Conan was caught in a dilemma.
And the other side.
Another person reacted to the gin and vodka that Kogoro Mouri mentioned.
The man was dressed entirely in black, tall, wearing a black top hat, and sporting a black beard; he appeared extremely suspicious.
However, because this is the world of Detective Conan, the guests at the venue basically ignored him.
Upon hearing the names Gin and Vodka, the tall man in black cautiously turned his head to look. Seeing a drunken man, he didn't bother to pay attention. After observing the scene for a moment, he turned and walked into a secluded corner of the venue.
Vermouth said that today's operation is Xia Ye, oh right, now called Roland, Roland will appear as support.
Agave was somewhat speechless.
It's just a simple transaction. The other party is a programmer who can't even kill a chicken and only knows how to type. What kind of support does he need?
It's not that I dislike Roland.
I've worked with him once before, and it's no wonder that Roland is Vermouth's personal disciple. In terms of stealth operations, Roland is already on par with his teacher, and his close combat ability is ridiculously strong. No wonder the BOSS has high hopes for him!
Let him come and support me.
That's a huge waste of talent!
Tequila remained quietly in the corner, not bothering to search for Roland. As Vermouth's student, Roland's disguise skills were top-notch; trying to find him among so many people was simply a pipe dream!
Back to Xia Ye's side.
Xiaolan scoffed at her father's words.
Given his alcohol tolerance, how could he get this drunk after only drinking a little? Based on experience, he must have downed at least a bottle of gin and a bottle of vodka last night!
She rolled her eyes at her father and snorted coldly:
"You can't drink that much alcohol!"
"Xia Ye—!"
Seeing that his beloved daughter remained stubborn, Kogoro Mori turned his attention to his "prospective son-in-law," shouting:
"You be the judge, isn't Xiaolan being a bit too nosy? I just had a drink, and she's already lecturing me like this, and I even have to hand over my salary to her. Isn't that a bit excessive?"
"cut!"
Xiao Lan pouted.
Dad was really desperate and would try anything.
What is my relationship with Xia Ye?
That's my man!
Would he help you instead of me?
Let's play!
"Uncle Mori is right~"
Under Xiaolan's resentful gaze, which seemed to say "You betrayed me," Xia Ye smiled and said:
"It's really okay for men to drink occasionally. Even if they drink a lot, it's not a big deal as long as it doesn't happen frequently."
"As for the reward, Ran, don't forget, there's Conan at home too. The two of them can't cook and they buy food all the time, so naturally they spend a lot. This time, let's not make him hand it over!"
"Ha ha!"
"Xia Ye is right!"
Kogoro Mouri sobered up halfway in an instant, laughing as he patted Natsume on the shoulder and looked at his daughter with a smug expression:
"Xiao Lan, how are you?"
"That's what Xia Ye said!"
Kogoro Mori looked at Natsume with a newfound fondness for her, almost like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. After all, Natsume had completely stood by him and spoken up for him this time, which touched him deeply!
Xiao Lan gave a soft hum.
Her beloved's "betrayal" filled her eyes with sorrow. She pinched Xia Ye with her slender hand and said coquettishly:
"Let's put the money aside for now. Drinking too much is bad for your health, and Dad isn't young anymore. What if he gets seriously injured from drinking?"
"Don't worry about that~"
Xia Ye gently took Xiao Lan's small hand that was pinching her, and openly held it in front of Kogoro Mouri, a smile appearing on his face:
"I'm still here!"
"I'll give Uncle Mori a health boost every week, and I guarantee he'll be full of energy without even needing to exercise, and healthier than people who exercise regularly!"
"real!"
Kogoro Mouri didn't care at all that Natsume was holding his precious daughter's hand. As long as Natsume's wishes could be fulfilled, he wouldn't mind not just holding hands, but even marrying Ran off to him!
certainly--
This is not because he sold his daughter.
Xiao Lan and Xia Ye were exchanging glances, clearly showing mutual affection. He wasn't blind; how could he not see that?
This is simply taking advantage of the situation!
"Of course it's true~"
Xia Ye smiled slightly and reminded him:
"Xiao Lan knows about my medical skills~"
Xiao Lan rolled her eyes cutely. She couldn't refute this point at all. After all, the description of the Crane Needle was "it can cure anyone who isn't dead, and it might even cure someone who isn't completely dead." Such a heaven-defying medical skill could make curing a long-term drinker's illness incredibly easy!
Oh right!
Kogoro Mouri and Conan suddenly realized.
They all recalled the time when Ran was seriously injured at the National Karate Tournament at the National Stadium. Her spinal cord was even damaged. Xia Ye was able to heal such an injury and allow Ran to compete directly. That was beyond just good medical skills; it was a miracle!
"I don't care about you anymore!"
Xiaolan pouted. Her boyfriend was siding with the outsider... Wait, was her boyfriend siding with her dad inward or outward?
never mind!
In short, they don't stand on their own side!
Angry!
They're the kind of people who are really hard to appease!
Seeing her adorable, pouty little face, Xia Ye was about to take her to the game exhibition hall to browse around and tease her a bit when Kogoro Mouri pulled him aside and mysteriously leaned over to ask:
"Xia Ye, could you—"
"It's that kind of..."
"no problem!"
Xia Ye smiled mysteriously and whispered:
"Uncle Mori, don't worry, the formula for the Six Yang Burning Yin Pill I have here—its effect will definitely solve your problem, and it has no side effects!"
"Cough cough!"
"What do you mean, 'my problem'!"
Kogoro Mouri said seriously:
"I'm asking on behalf of a friend!"
Oh right~
Xia Ye readily accepted good advice:
"Then I wish your friend a speedy recovery. I'll send the pills to you as soon as I've finished refining them!"
"it is good!"
Kogoro Mouri was visibly excited; this had finally solved his immediate problem. He was now famous and wealthy, surrounded by countless women, yet—
So depressing!
Now we have Xia Ye's elixir.
Hey!
This son-in-law is definitely the right choice!
