Chapter 11 Asking for a stick and getting a stick
"My good daughter left me, a father, alone at home and ran out to hang out with that detective boy. She said she wouldn't be back for dinner and left me to fend for myself. I'm such a miserable father." Uncle Maori looked heartbroken.

Lin Ye was about to offer words of comfort, but Mao Li slammed the bar and said angrily:
"Tonight, let's drink to our heart's content!"

Lin Ye wiped his forehead and found no sweat, so he withdrew his hand.

"Have you eaten anything? Drinking too much on an empty stomach is bad for your stomach."

Maori Kogoro was stunned, then looked at Lin Ye with emotion: "Xiao Lin, you can be my son."

"What?"

"You care about me so much, much better than that girl in my family. How about you become my godson?"

"Haha, Uncle Maori really loves to joke." Lin Ye turned to Aragaki Xiafan and said, "Xiafan, go to the convenience store across the street and buy Uncle Maori a bag of peanuts."

Aragaki Kaho glared at him angrily, meaning why don't you go?

She was about to walk towards the door when Kogoro Mouri's voice came from the bar.

"No need, I've prepared it long ago." Kogoro Mouri waved his hand and took out a bag of peanuts from his pocket.

As expected of Uncle Maori, he had made preparations long ago.

"Xiao Lin, lend me a plate."

"Okay." Lin Ye took a clean plate, placed it in front of Uncle Maori, and then poured him a glass of beer with ice cubes.

When he finished pouring the wine, Uncle Maori had already torn open the bag of peanuts and poured them all onto the plate with a clinking sound. He couldn't wait to pick up a peanut and put it in his mouth.

"Uncle Maori, wine."

"You're just in time." Maori took the wine glass and took a big sip.

"Peanuts and beer, so cool! Xiaolan isn't at home today, that's great, I'm going to drink to my heart's content! Hahaha!"

After taking a sip of beer, Uncle Maori's true colors were immediately revealed.

Lin Ye wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, thinking that he had been worrying for nothing. Uncle Maori was such a strong character, how could he be bothered by such a small matter?

"Continued Cup!"

While Lin Ye was complaining, Uncle Maori had already finished his first drink. He pushed the empty glass to the inside of the bar and asked for a refill.

Lin Ye naturally had to meet the needs of the guests. When he was pouring the second cup, the bell in the corner of the door rang again.

"Dad, I just knew you came down here to drink again." As soon as Xiaolan entered the door, she saw her father in front of the bar and said with her hands on her hips.

Maori Kogoro was shocked and said with wide eyes: "Xiaolan? How come you came back so soon! I thought you would not come back tonight."

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you drunk again?" Xiaolan scolded with a red face.

"I, I just had my first drink..." Kogoro Mouri said aggrievedly, ready to be dragged home by his daughter as usual.

Unexpectedly, Xiaolan walked to the bar and sat down quietly.

Huh?
Even Kogoro Mouri noticed something was wrong. Xiaolan had clearly gone on a date with that detective boy, but now she came back alone. Judging from the time, she might not have even had dinner.

"Hey, Xiaolan, did you have a fight with that boy?" Maori Kogoro said with a grin.

He had long been annoyed with the pretentious brat, but his daughter just liked to hang out with him. It would be great if the two of them could just have a fight and separate.

"We didn't quarrel." Xiaolan retorted, "We just separated halfway..."

Separate halfway?

When Lin Ye at the bar heard this, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Xiaolan, did he say where he was going or what he was doing?"

"It seems like he's chasing someone."

"Are they the two men in black?"

"Hey, how did you know?" Xiaolan looked at Lin Ye in surprise.

Lin Ye thought to himself, awful! That boy is so bold that he dares to chase anyone.

Ah, detective.

"You didn't stop him?"

"I stopped him. I said I wanted to go with him, and then he told me..." "What did he say?"

"He said those two people were very dangerous and that we must be careful because they would be discovered too easily. He also said that he had a lot of experience in tracking and that nothing would happen," Xiaolan said.

"So you just let him go?"

Xiaolan nodded and said with some complaints: "This is not the first time. He always left me alone and ran away before, but he always came back safely. He also said proudly that he solved a new case and told me to wait and watch the news."

Lin Ye thought to himself, how come that guy is even more outrageous than me? I just asked a woman to pay the bill, but he dumped her halfway.

Maori Kogoro also slapped the bar and said, "I actually left you alone. I think you should ignore that guy in the future."

Xiaolan sat next to her father, supporting her chin with one hand and thinking, if Shinichi didn't apologize to her properly when he came back this time, she would ignore him for three days... no, two days, um, or maybe one day.

Looking at Xiaolan with a worried face, Lin Ye could only pray that the boy's tracking and anti-tracking abilities were really strong, and that he could return safely without being discovered.

"By the way, Mr. Lin Ye," Xiaolan suddenly seemed to remember something, took out two photos from her pocket and put them on the bar, "These are photos of you and Miss Aragaki. I have developed them."

Lin Ye looked at the two photos on the bar. The photos were taken of him and Aragaki at the Fountain Square during the day.

The two people in the photo are in an intimate posture, with their hands forming a big heart, and Aragaki's face has a shy blush.

Anyone who sees this photo will think that this is a couple in love.

Maori Kogoro glanced at the photo and said, "How sweet! It's great to be young."

"Haha, thank you, Xiaolan." Lin Ye took one.

"Ms. Aragaki, this one is yours. I specially made two for you." Xiaolan waved to Aragaki Kaho, motioning her to come over and take it.

Aragaki Kaho forced a smile and came to the bar. When she saw the photo, the smile on her face became even stiffer.

"Thank you, Xiaolan." Aragaki Kaho picked up the photo and was so moved that she almost cried.

[Evidence! Two copies!]

Aragaki Kaho finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.

At this time, Lin Ye smiled and said, "Xia Fan, this photo of Xiaolan is really well taken. I will definitely keep it well. I will put it in a photo frame and put it on the bedside. This way, I can see it every morning when I open my eyes."

Hearing Lin Ye calling her name, Aragaki Xiafan felt like crying, because she was the one who asked him to call her that.

She felt her feet hurt even more...

When Xiaolan heard Lin Ye’s words, her face turned slightly red.

Because she was planning to do the same thing. He and Shinichi also took a photo there...

Kogoro Mouri looked at his daughter strangely. What was this girl thinking about?

Well, I'd better drink this beer quickly before she notices.

Kogoro Mori picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Mr. Lin Ye, give me one too, just like yesterday."

When Maori heard what Xiaolan said, he almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

"Xiao Lan, you can't drink. If your mother finds out, I—"

"Don't worry, Dad, I was drinking a non-alcoholic drink," Xiaolan explained.

Only then did Kogoro Mori breathe a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to order another glass of wine.
