After the party, the Kudo couple said goodbye to everyone and headed for the airport.
The two booked a flight for the afternoon and prepared to return to Los Angeles.
After all, the two of them have lived here for a week and have seen it all, so there is really no need to stay any longer.
Moreover, the material for Kudo Yusaku's new work has been collected, and he plans to concentrate on his creation when he returns this time.
Of course, it is hard to say whether it will eventually lead to delays in updating and the editor frantically urging me to submit.
As for Ayako, because the company has recently been shrinking its business and she needs to personally supervise it, she did not stay with Tang Ze, but took Xiaolan and the slightly drunk Maori Kogoro with her.
"You kid, you didn't drink today." Before getting in the car, Maori Kogoro pulled Tang Ze and said angrily: "You must make it up to me next time!"
"Don't worry, don't worry. Next time I will definitely accompany Mao Lizhen to watch you drink to your heart's content." Tang Ze responded with a smile.
"Okay, Dad, Detective Tang Ze said he was driving, so he naturally can't drink."
Xiaolan shook her father off, but Maori Kogoro still held onto Tangze's hand tightly, which made Xiaolan very embarrassed.
Seeing that Kogoro Mouri was still going to pester her, Xiaolan was annoyed. In anger, she knocked Kogoro Mouri unconscious with a knife and stuffed him directly into the back passenger seat of Ayako.
"Is this... okay..." Dr. Agasa looked at Kogoro Mouri who was unconscious and said with some concern.
"It's okay. I didn't practice karate for nothing. Dad won't remember anything when we get back. He's so drunk."
Xiaolan complained about her father, then bowed slightly to Tang Ze, got into the car, and said goodbye to everyone with a smile.
With Kogoro Mouri fainting next to him, this originally normal scene seemed a bit scary no matter how you looked at it.
The little ones were so flustered that they forced smiles and waved goodbye to Xiaolan.
"Huh... Sister Xiaolan is so scary when she gets angry..."
After Ayako's car drove away, Yuan Tai on the side breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, it's too oppressive." Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement with lingering fear.
"I think Sister Xiaolan is very cool!" Ayumi said with stars in her eyes, "Just like in the movies, she knocked someone unconscious with just one knife!"
"I hope someone won't encounter this kind of situation often in the future..." Huiyuan glanced at Conan and said with a smile: "Otherwise, the days ahead will be difficult~"
"What do you care..."
Conan, who was standing by, couldn't help but look dark when he heard what Haibara said. He then glanced at Haibara and rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Future? Someone?" Ayumi, who was right next to Huibara, couldn't help but ask curiously after hearing her words: "Huibara, who are you talking about? Is it the Shinichi brother that Xiaolan often talks about?"
"That's right." Haibara looked at Conan teasingly and nodded.
"No way, Sister Xiaolan is such a nice girl. It's okay as long as that brother named Shinichi doesn't make Sister Xiaolan angry." Ayumi defended Xiaolan.
"If Xiaolan takes action, then it must be the brother's fault." Mitsuhiko also echoed: "Just like what happened with Uncle Maori this time, the fault must be his."
"That's right, Sister Xiaolan is such a nice person, she wouldn't beat anyone up casually." Yuantai nodded in agreement.
Hearing what the little ones said, Conan's face couldn't help but darken, but he couldn't say anything.
After all, from the perspective of the little ones, they only know Xiaolan. As for Shinichi, he is just an older brother that Xiaolan has never seen but has a good relationship with.
As Xiaolan's "family members", they naturally stand on Xiaolan's side.
But only Conan himself knows how heartbroken he is.
It’s not because the little ones are all on Xiaolan’s side, but because everyone seems to think that even if they are beaten by Xiaolan, she is right.
This makes people feel very complicated...
"Okay, okay, enough chatting. We still have to go help Dr. Ali clean up his study and find some letters."
Because he was still thinking about the possible case, seeing that the others had almost finished chatting, Tang Ze immediately suggested that they go look for the letter.
"Eh? Aren't you going to take a break?"
Mitsuhiko looked at Dr. Agasa and complained, "Doctor, it's not a good habit to forget things and not tidy up your room!"
"That's right, elementary school students like me clean our own rooms at home!" Genta echoed, making Dr. Agasa laugh awkwardly.
"Alright, you guys, stop complaining." Huiyuan said calmly, "Don't forget Xin, the reason he disappeared is because he came here to play video games after school yesterday. You guys are also responsible for making this place even more messy."
After being reminded by Huibara, the little ones beside him showed embarrassment, started to laugh awkwardly, and even quickened their pace to enter the house.
“But there are so many things here…”
Looking at the messy room, Ayumi said worriedly, "There's no problem tidying up the things, but don't we have to reply to the letters today? Shouldn't we do it as soon as possible?"
"Well..."
Conan touched his chin and said, "Every time the doctor finishes reading letters, postcards, and the like, he always puts them on the TV.
So if no one picks it up, there's a high chance it fell behind the TV.
But there should be a mountain of them behind the TV.”
Hearing Conan's teasing, Dr. Agasa smiled awkwardly, while Mitsuhiko and Genta hurried over to check.
