Eight o'clock in the evening.
When the sun had already gone to the other hemisphere to work, the night fell on the horizon.
Although the sky is full of stars that have been hanging there for a long time, they do not seem so bright today.
Because the hazy moon is emitting bright light today, the silver moonlight even makes the night sky brighter.
"I'm back."
As Conan pushed the door open, his voice also reached the ears of Maori father and daughter in the house.
"Welcome back, how was your time?" Xiaolan asked Conan with a smile on her face, without any strangeness in her expression.
"It was great. I had dinner with Detective Tang Ze and heard some interesting stories about his training~"
But Conan didn't dare to relax at all. He smiled obediently and took out the souvenir in his hand: "This is a souvenir that Detective Karasawa brought back for us from Osaka. I heard that it was recommended by Brother Hattori and Sister Ye!!"
"specialty?"
Maori Kogoro was excited when he heard this. He took the gift from Conan's hand and opened it without hesitation: "Let me see... Let me see... What is it..."
"Dad, what a fool..." Xiaolan covered her face helplessly as she looked at her father with a materialistic look on his face.
"Banana-flavored sponge cake? Why are they all desserts?"
After seeing that it was a dessert, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but dig inside, and finally handed the handbag to Xiaolan in disappointment: "Here, here, it's for you. It's completely prepared for you."
"It would be strange if I prepared drinks for you!" Xiaolan took the gift, glanced at her father unhappily and said speechlessly.
However, this obviously had no lethal effect on Kogoro Mouri. He waved his hand and lay back on the sofa to watch TV.
On the other side, seeing her father like this, Xiaolan shook her head helplessly and looked at Conan beside her, "Hurry up and take a shower, the hot water is ready."
Xiaolan glanced at Conan who was playing with his phone, her eyes fixed on his phone for a moment, then she smiled naturally and said, "You go in first, I'll get your pajamas for you later."
"Hey, got it."
Conan seemed unaware and casually placed his phone on the coffee table in the office's living room, then walked towards the bathroom upstairs.
After entering the bathroom, Conan, who had been tense all the time, couldn't help but let out a long breath, and his previous natural expression collapsed.
Then Conan patted his cheeks, calmed himself down, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
After dragging his feet for about half an hour, Conan finally walked out of the bathroom dressed.
"Sorry, Sister Lan, I accidentally took a little longer to wash." Looking at Xiaolan who was waiting in the living room, Conan smiled apologetically.
"It's okay, go to sleep." Xiaolan smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Don't you have to go to school tomorrow?"
"Okay, I understand. I'll go to bed now!"
After taking a shower, Conan seemed to have completely forgotten that he had dropped his phone in the living room of the office downstairs. He nodded obediently and walked towards the bedroom.
When Xiaolan saw Conan enter the bedroom, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She then quickly washed up and went to the office to urge her father to take a shower and go to bed.
"I know, I know." Maori Kogoro stretched and said, "You are the one, why don't you sleep?"
"I still have clothes to wash after you finish." Xiaolan put her hands on her hips and said unhappily, "How about you do it, Dad?"
"Uh..." Kogoro Mouri smiled awkwardly and ran quickly towards the bathroom.
Looking at her father running away in a panic, Xiaolan's eyes fell on the mobile phone on the coffee table.
But as mentioned before, women are all Sherlock Holmes in terms of emotions, and once they enter the role of "famous detective", they seem to have the corresponding qualities.
So even when faced with a mobile phone right in front of her, Xiaolan still had no intention of taking it. She just took a deep look at it, then turned around, turned off the lights and left.
It doesn't take much time for a grown man to take a shower. Soon, Kogoro Mouri came out and was then urged by Xiaolan to go to bed.
"Don't work too hard. I'll do it tomorrow if you can't." Kogoro Mouri looked at his daughter with some heartache and said with concern.
"It's okay, just staying up a little late." Xiaolan waved her hand: "Just put the clothes in the washing machine, it's nothing tiring, Dad, go to bed."
"I understand. You should go to bed early too." Mouri Kogoro yawned and walked into the room.
Xiaolan looked at the empty living room and quickly put the clothes into the washing machine and didn't start.
A buzzing sound began to spread into the room. Xiaolan carefully opened the bedroom door and whispered, "Conan, are you asleep? Didn't I wake you up?"
Xiaolan's soft call did not receive any response, which made her feel relieved.
Then she cautiously peeked into the room and saw Conan sleeping soundly.
"Conan, Conan..."
Xiaolan gradually increased her voice, but Conan on the bed still showed no sign of waking up.
"Great, she's fast asleep, and Dad has gone to bed too. This is a good opportunity!"
Xiaolan clenched her fists, then quietly left the bedroom, closed the door gently, and then let out a long sigh.
Although everything went smoothly, Xiaolan, who had never done this before, still felt a little pressured.
However, after taking a few deep breaths, Xiaolan made up her mind and walked down the office when she thought about the thoughts that kept flashing through her mind.
At the same time, Conan in the house also breathed a sigh of relief.
