Mouri Detective Agency.
"Going to Izu for a swim in the sea?"
Kogoro Mouri, who was eating lunch, was surprised to hear the news and almost spat out his food.
"Yes, this Saturday and Sunday." Xiaolan interlocked her fingers and placed them on her chest, smiling as she said, "Anyway, Dad, you don't have any plans for those two days, and I heard the hotels and beaches there are very beautiful!"
Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri had more to think about. He glanced at the room and said, "Then the accommodation fee must be quite high. I'd rather stay at home, have a nice drink, or get a good night's sleep than take a long vacation."
He's been so busy with commissions lately that he hasn't been able to go out and play pachinko for days.
Conan, who was engrossed in eating, couldn't help but think to himself, "When you're not on holiday, you're either drinking or sleeping!"
I did all the work myself.
"But I already made plans with my friends..." Xiaolan pretended to be unhappy, her little mouth pouting slightly.
Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately became interested. "Friends? Who?"
"Nan, I've made plans with Nan. We're going to Izu together this weekend."
Xiaolan said without changing her expression.
These words elicited differing opinions from the other two people at the table.
Kogoro Mouri clapped his hands and said happily, "Oh, it's Yuzuru. Why don't you two go have fun by yourselves? Why do you insist on making me come along?"
He could enjoy a couple of days at home without anyone bothering him, drinking whenever he wanted, sleeping whenever he wanted, with no one nagging him. How carefree!
Conan's face fell, but his heart was filled with even more bitterness.
He knew it; if Xiaolan wanted to go out and play, how could Yusheng Nan not follow?
By now, Conan understands that there is almost no chance for him and Ran; her heart has already been completely devoted to that guy, Yuzuru.
But Conan still didn't want to give up. He felt that Ran had just been deceived, and that as long as he exposed Hanyu Nan's true colors, Ran could come back to him.
A hero is not defined by temporary success or failure.
Only those who laugh last can be considered winners.
He, Shinichi Kudo, the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, never gives up!
Just as Conan was silently cheering himself on, a slap suddenly landed on his head without warning. Turning around, he saw Ran's smiling face.
"Conan, you really want to go to the beach, don't you?" Ran's tone became more forceful, her eyes filled with threat. "You want to go, don't you!"
"Ah...ah...um."
Conan looked at Ran's clenched fist and felt a chill run down his spine; he didn't dare utter a single word of protest.
Xiao Lan's fists are no joke; they can really kill people.
"I'm not going! You guys can go if you want!"
Kogoro Mori ate his spirit rice with gusto, pretending not to hear their conversation.
Seeing that reasoning with her was not working, Xiaolan had no choice but to resort to the method she had prepared beforehand.
She muttered to herself, "I heard there are lots of beautiful women wearing bikinis on the beaches there..."
Ran's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Kogoro Mouri to hear.
Kogoro Mori slowed down his cooking speed.
"And I've also heard there are many young and beautiful female college students and fashionable office workers!"
Kogoro Mouri put down his bowl, his expression turning serious. "But then again..."
He cleared his throat. "I've really been working too hard lately, I'm so busy every day that I'm dizzy. It's good to go out and relax once in a while!"
Plans are in place!
Xiaolan smiled with satisfaction, "That's great, thank you, Dad."
She knows her father all too well, so she can always find the right approach.
"Haha, no, no..." Kogoro Mouri turned his head away, laughing lewdly, his mind already filled with the image of many beautiful women on the beach.
This scene left even Conan speechless.
When did the innocent Xiaolan develop such a mindset, even using the older man's weaknesses to seduce him?
This is not scientific!
...
Time flies, and Saturday is here in the blink of an eye.
"Here you go, Master Yuzuru."
After breakfast, the maid handed over the all-purpose capsules that had been prepared the night before.
It contains all the things you'll need for a trip to the beach.
"Thank you for your help, Akemi."
"It's no trouble at all, it's what I should do."
Seeing Akemi's gentle smile, Yuzuru couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.
After the kiss, he didn't forget to kiss Ai, who was reading a magazine on the sofa, as well.
"Be a good girl at home and wait for me to come back."
Yuzuru smiled and pinched Ai's face, which was clearly red but she was pretending to be aloof.
The main purpose of this trip to Izu is for Ran to try and reconcile Eri and Kogoro Mouri; it's a family matter. Therefore, it's not appropriate for them to come along.
Yu Sheng Nan didn't have this concern. As his prospective son-in-law, he was considered family, so it was perfectly normal for him to go over and help out or have a chat.
After saying goodbye to the two, Yu Shengnan walked out of the villa and headed towards Xiao Lan's house.
We're going to Izu soon, and the mode of transportation we'll be using is a car rented by Kogoro Mouri.
It's a rare storyline where Kogoro Mouri's rented car wasn't damaged.
He had been saying he wanted to buy a car, but since Suzuki always had a car waiting for him wherever he went, Hanyu Nan became too lazy to drive himself anymore.
...
Driving from Mika to Izu via the expressway takes only about two hours.
Along the way, the scenery was picturesque, and the view outside the window kept changing.
The group arrived at the hotel entrance at just 10 o'clock.
"Oh, it seems this restaurant truly lives up to its reputation!"
Kogoro Mouri stood in front of the hotel entrance, squinting his eyes as he looked around.
"Dad, let's go in quickly!" Xiaolan urged from behind, linking her arm with Yusheng Nan's.
Conan, who was standing to the side, rolled his eyes as he looked down at the luggage that was almost half his height.
They have no respect for the elderly or care for the young. Don't they see that they can barely lift it themselves?
Upon entering the hotel, the lobby was bustling with tourists of all skin colors and speaking different languages.
Yuzuru went to the front desk to book a room, while Ran looked around curiously, as if searching for someone.
"You want to book three rooms?"
Kogoro Mouri walked over to Kusunoki Hanyu, looked at the price list at the counter, and silently put his wallet, which he had only taken out halfway, back in.
Although as an elder, he should have offered to pay in this situation,
However, three deluxe king rooms couldn't possibly cost a penny.
That amount of money is enough for him to play pachinko for a long time.
Yuzuru smiled and didn't explain why he booked three rooms. He simply handed a room key to Kogoro Mouri: "It's rare for us to travel together. A bigger room will make it more comfortable for us to sleep."
Xiao Lan, who hadn't found the person she wanted to see, came over and said, "Dad, let's hurry back to our room to change our clothes and go play on the beach."
