Chapter 1789-1796 [Mauri Lan's Conspiracy]
Tokyo, dark night.
Jiang Xia was riding around on his motorcycle, trying to come across some cases or some colleagues who were also out late at night.
Halfway through his stroll, he suddenly felt his cell phone vibrate.
Judging from the duration of the vibration, the sender should be one of the big case victims.
Jiang Xia was startled and immediately stopped the car, taking out his cell phone to check: "..." Could it be that an acquaintance stayed up late at night and encountered a case and wanted to ask him to come over for help?
However, when I turned on the screen, there was only a dull 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 male teachers.]
Jiang Xia: “…”
He deleted the message with no case content in a bored manner, threw the phone back into his pocket, pretended to be asleep and unable to reply, and continued to concentrate on driving his car.
…
The next day, Conan came to meet them with big dark circles under his eyes.
Even when they arrived at Izu Beach, Conan still hadn't fully woken up.
The sea breeze blew, 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 to guess that this detective friend who loved traveling went to bed early and didn't see his email.
Jiang Xia saw Conan's expression and was indeed surprised. He whispered teasingly, "You are not a real elementary school student. How can you be so excited about traveling that you can't sleep all night?"
Conan: “…”
He sighed and didn't want to say more.
Jiang Xia then went to look at other people.
What was different from Suzuki Sonoko's plan was that Kogoro Mori also came along - probably because he was lured by his daughter with bait like "there are many bikini beauties on the beach".
Mao Lilan saw Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko were looking at their father. Knowing that high school students sometimes don't like to be accompanied by their parents when traveling, she quickly explained: "My dad just came to see the beach. We should go to Mitajima by ourselves."
Jiang Xia nodded, not minding it at all: "Actually, if uncle wants to go to the island, I think I can take him along."
Jiang Xia had no objection, and Suzuki Sonoko had no objection either. Maori Kogoro didn't have any parental authority anyway. In her eyes, he was just a noisy uncle. "Then let's go together?"
Maori Kogoro waved his hand with a lack of interest: "Forget it, there are only a bunch of kids over there. I still prefer the scenery of the beach - look!"
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his hand and pointed under the parasol next to him: "You don't understand adult entertainment. For example, there are no beautiful beauties with good figures like this on your island!"
Jiang Xia turned around and saw that there was indeed a beautiful woman in a swimsuit standing next to him. The woman had her back to him, wearing a backless swimsuit, and was wiping her dripping hair while lowering her head to pick up the sunscreen on the table.
Suddenly hearing Maori Kogoro's shout, the woman frowned and turned around, revealing a familiar face under the towel.
——Fei Yingli.
She is Ran Mouri's mother and Kogoro Mouri's currently estranged wife.
When Kisaki Eri turned around and saw Maori Kogoro, she was obviously stunned for a moment, as if she had seen a ghost: "Why are you here?"
Mouri Kogoro: "..."
Suzuki Sonoko: “…” The uncle’s vision is really consistent.
Conan: “…” It turns out that Xiaolan was making a date with Aunt Eri last night… I didn’t sleep well all night because of this.
Mao Lilan had already rushed between the two of them, with a look of surprise on her face: "Wow~ What a coincidence! You two are so destined to meet on the beach with so many people!"
Jiang Xia took a look at her hard work and clapped his hands, "Indeed."
Maori Kogoro looked at his daughter and said, "Oh, you arranged this secretly again!"
Kisaki Eri also looked at her: "I should have thought of it earlier..."
Mao Lilan could only blink her eyes and try her best to play dumb: "Huh?"
…
Even if they are not husband and wife for the time being, they are acquaintances after all. Since we have met, of course we have to sit down and have a cup of tea and something to eat together.
Several people arrived at a seaside cafe.
Sitting at the square table, Mao Lilan looked at Mao Li Kogoro on the left, and then looked at Kisaki Eri on the right. Finally, she couldn't help but whispered to Jiang Xia: "Have I really been exposed?"
Jiang Xia glanced at her and said tactfully, "Maybe, maybe not."
"..." Ran Mao Li picked up the napkin and fiddled with it for a while, deciding to ease the atmosphere first. She looked at her parents with a smile, "It's a rare opportunity for us to meet, why don't we put aside other things and enjoy the beach together!"
Maori Kogoro sneered, "Until just now, I was really concentrating on enjoying the beach, but unfortunately I was interrupted by an old lady wearing a beautiful swimsuit."
Hibiki Eri also laughed: "I don't know who was talking to that auntie in a beautiful swimsuit in a lewd way just now. It was so embarrassing that it was unbearable to watch."
"...Hmph!" Kogoro Mouri couldn't find any rebuttal, so he stood up and left angrily.
Mao Lilan grabbed Jiang Xia with one hand and Suzuki Sonoko with the other, and shouted silently: What should I do! !
Jiang Xia's arm was hurt by her pinching, so he had to help her find a solution.
After thinking for a moment, he whispered to Mao Lilan in a voice that Kisaki Eri couldn't hear: "Didn't 'Dr. Shinde' say that he would come over later? It's a matter between adults, so why not let the adults figure it out."
- As expected, when Suzuki Sonoko took Mouri Ran to invite her to the island, Vermouth, who was disguised as "Dr. Shinde", heard the news. Although her expression became very complicated for a moment, she finally agreed.
Although she agreed, she seemed to want to avoid too much contact with some people, and also wanted to try her best to hide her abnormal attitude towards Mouri Ran and Conan. So she had no plans to have fun at the beach with the students, and only said that she would meet them before they went to the island.
Mao Lilan was stunned when she heard Jiang Xia's proposal, but then she thought it was very interesting: Yes, Dad and Mom should still have feelings for each other, but they are more concerned about their reputation than each other, and they are very stubborn and unwilling to take the initiative to repair the relationship. At this time, a third party should be introduced - Dr. Shinichi is so handsome, maybe when Dad sees him, he will immediately feel a sense of crisis and take the initiative to express his attitude.
Thinking of the wonderful scene of the two of them shaking hands and making peace, Mao Lilan's eyes lit up and she secretly gave Jiang Xia a thumbs up under the table.
But then she suddenly noticed something.
Mao Lilan's eyes fell on Kisaki Eri's hand and she was suddenly startled: "Mom, why aren't you wearing your wedding ring? Don't you always wear it?"
