Chapter 37



“Bang—”

When Mao Lilan was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, she suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the dining table, and even the sound of tea sets breaking.

The girl frowned, but worry quickly filled her eyes.

Glancing at the boiling milk pot, the girl hesitated for a moment, then shouted out of the kitchen with some embarrassment, "What's wrong, Dad?"

Seeing no response from outside, she couldn't help but shout again.

"Are you okay?"

Mao Lilan tried to prepare the hot milk as quickly as possible. Although she seemed a little flustered, she finally managed to successfully prepare breakfast.

After putting the pots, pans, and utensils that needed washing into the sink, Maori Ran was thinking about taking breakfast out and taking a look at what Maori Kogoro was doing outside. Unexpectedly, the person she was worried about came in first.

The man who made the noise early in the morning rushed in before Mao Lilan could react, waving a newspaper he had just picked up this morning.

The detective named Kogoro Mori looked very excited. His neck and bearded face were covered with a layer of excited blush. His eyes were surprisingly bright and he didn't look hungover at all. It was hard to imagine that he was still drunk on the sofa at one or two o'clock last night.

It's as if I suddenly became rich, Mao Lilan thought to herself.

But she had no intention of asking. She had seen her father act on impulse or suddenly get excited about something many times. Besides, she was almost late for school and did not have time to listen to her father's long lectures.

Besides, she also has to go to school to meet Shinichi.

Thinking of the young detective who was always full of confidence, a faint blush appeared on her face.

But thinking of the sound of something breaking she just heard, she decided to check whether her old father had broken anything.

"By the way, Dad, did you drop something on the floor again? Broken pieces of porcelain or glass are hard to clean up."

As a high school girl, she already has the aura of an adult. She has been trying to take care of her father since she was young, which made her very precocious. Especially when she was advising her father at this time, she had an aura similar to that of a mother.

The middle-aged man, who was overly excited, immediately seemed to be drenched with cold water and restrained himself a little, but the redness on his neck still did not fade.

Maori Kogoro knew that he was somewhat in the wrong, but as a father he was still very proud and defended himself stubbornly: "It's all because the cup is hard to hold, Xiaolan, I told you not to buy cheap things like that next time, they will break if you drop them."

"How can there be a ceramic cup that won't break? Dad is such a fool. He is so grown up and still not careful at all. I have to buy a new cup again."

Also out of consideration for her father's face, Mao Lilan just muttered softly, calculating this month's budget in her mind.

However, his daughter's cold reaction and blame did not seem to dispel Kogoro Mori's unusually high mood this morning. He could not wait to share the news he had just seen in the newspaper with his daughter.

This is definitely big news that will make Xiaolan stunned, Kogoro Maori thought. This explosive news made him spit out his coffee and accidentally dropped the cup. Xiaolan will definitely be so surprised that she will be unable to close her mouth.

"Never mind all that for now, look at this!" Maori Kogoro's voice was filled with suppressed excitement, and he looked like a big rooster trying hard not to show off his beautiful tail feathers.

He couldn't help but push the newspaper in front of Mouri Ran, as if he was afraid that Mouri Ran couldn't see it, and he was almost reading the contents loudly in the girl's ear.

"A letter to candy lovers all over the world?" Mao Lilan read the title at the top, looking a little confused. "What is this?"

"Keep watching." Kogoro Mouri said to his daughter, intending to keep the secret.

"…I will be issuing five gold tickets this month, and I guarantee that they will be the key to a jaw-dropping journey.

. These tickets will be randomly placed in chocolate packaging and sent to all parts of the world. The winners will be invited to enter my factory and enjoy a perfect travel time. Each lucky winner will receive a great gift, and my heir will be chosen from them..."

As she read, Mao Lilan's expression gradually changed from confusion to surprise, and then to disbelief.

"Is today April Fool's Day?" Her voice was a little vague.

"Obviously not," Maori Kogoro said quickly, as if he couldn't wait and was a little excited. "This is crazy, too crazy!"

He raised his hands and shook his body excitedly, as if he had already seen himself winning the prize.

"This is a great opportunity, a great opportunity to make a fortune, Xiaolan."

The middle-aged man had already begun to think about what he would do after winning the prize, but his rational daughter immediately poured cold water on his idea.

"Don't think about it, Dad. It's impossible to win with this probability. They are people from all over the world. The probability of picking five is too small."

Mao Lilan took the newspaper from her father's hand helplessly and said to the man.

"Okay, I have to go to school. Breakfast is on the table, remember to eat it."

Ignoring her father's complaints, Mao Lilan skillfully carried her schoolbag and went to school.

When she arrived at school, she was immediately pulled aside by the gossipy Suzuki Sonoko.

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan, have you heard? Our class is going to have an exchange student."

The girl wearing a headband spoke mysteriously to her friend, and seemed very curious about the new student.

"Eh, at this time?" Mao Lilan was a little surprised that the exchange student came at this time, but she didn't say much.

"Xiaolan, aren't you curious at all? What if he's a handsome guy?"

Suzuki Sonoko muttered softly, not forgetting to avoid a certain jealous person.

Perhaps she thought of something, and Sonoko's expression immediately became a little subtle, and she said in a teasing tone: "That's right, Xiaolan will probably only care about Shinichi's family."

"That's what I said..." Although the relationship has been confirmed, Mao Lilan still feels a little shy that Suzuki Sonoko said this about her relationship with Kudo Shinichi.

Seeing her best friend's face suddenly flushed, Suzuki Sonoko looked a little unhappy. She was about to say something bad about Kudo Shinichi, but was interrupted by the class bell, so she had to give up.

Haiyinsi Suyou stood outside the door and waited for the teacher's voice to sound before slowly walking into the classroom.

As soon as he entered the school gate, bullet screens occupied the area above him.

[Wow, is he a transfer student? He looks so handsome even though he's wearing glasses]

[There are new handsome guys to watch, yay!]

[Wait, isn't this guy the one from Yokohama?]

[Yes! It’s Brother Hai!]

[Great, I was addicted to High School Detective recently and didn’t have time to watch Hai Ge’s live broadcasts, now it’s perfect]

High school student detective? The high school student detective mentioned in the barrage made Haiyinsi Suyou a little concerned.

I hope it’s not like Edogawa Ranpo, otherwise there will be some trouble, Kaionji Suyou thought calmly.

When we followed the teacher to the door, the bullet screen became lively again.

[Great, Hai seems to be in the same class with Kudo Shinichi!]

Kudo Shinichi? Kaionji Suyou felt that the name was somewhat familiar, and after thinking for a moment, he remembered that he seemed to have seen this name in the newspaper.

This man named Kudo Shinichi seems to be a very famous detective. He is also called the "savior", which sounds very powerful, but these have nothing to do with him for the time being.

The teacher's words had already spread out of the classroom, and there was not much time for him to think freely.

But when he stood on the podium facing his classmates, he suddenly felt a chill, and the polite smile on his face froze. He suddenly became stiff in this season which was not too cold.

The students sitting below seemed to be whispering to each other because of his arrival, but in the midst of the noise

, but there is one most discordant place.

Behind a table and chair somewhere, a dark cloud rose into the sky.
