Conan's Beginning was Picked Up by Xiaolan

At night, the moon is dim and the stars are sparse. Inside a restaurant, the gorgeous crystal chandeliers cast a faint light, appearing elegant and quiet.

Soft music filled the scene, and there was a faint fragrance in the restaurant, which was brought by the flowers.

Xiao Cheng looked at the dishes on the table with disbelief in his eyes. Lao Deng, have you made a fortune?

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, this is scallop ravioli with cauliflower sauce..."

The polite waiter explained the dishes in a humble voice.

"It looks delicious, it really deserves to be a three-star restaurant." Xiaolan was undoubtedly happy at this moment.

"Waiter, can you help me choose some high-end foreign wine that is suitable to go with this dish?" Needless to say, Kogoro was so happy to have received an order today.

"Okay, no problem." The waiter smiled and bowed slightly.

Xiao Cheng watched the waiter actually go to get the wine. He felt a bit like he was dreaming. Is Old Deng going to die?

Compared to Xiao Cheng's disbelief, Xiao Lan was a little worried: "Dad, wait a minute, is there really no problem with the money?"

"Don't worry, because I have taken on a high-value but simple case." Kogoro said calmly.

"Has anyone come to commission a case?" Conan couldn't help but ask a few more questions after hearing about the case.

"Yes, when you were at school, someone came to the house. It was a rich man's wife. I heard that someone wanted to kill her husband, and that person was at home."

"If you can find this person, pay me 10 million." Kogoro laughed at this time. What's the difference between this and picking up something for free.

"Ten million?" Xiaolan was shocked by the number. So high?

"Yes, we have already received the contract and the advance payment of 50. Anyway, all the evidence seems to point to the fact that it was done by someone close to us. This kind of thing can be easily solved with a little bit of thinking."

"Haha..." Kogoro started to laugh foolishly.

Xiaocheng's dead eyes appeared as he looked at Kogoro's controlling attitude and said, "You'd better. We have signed a contract, so there shouldn't be any penalty for breach of contract, right?"

And ten million is indeed outrageous. You have to know that when you went to Twilight Villa, it only cost three million.

Xiaocheng shook his head slightly and started eating with his knife and fork. Anyway, with Conan's help, it was not a big deal. He would go and see tomorrow.

While eating, Xiaocheng began to miss chopsticks. The knife and fork were not very convenient to use. He had to cut, fork, and then put the food into his mouth. It took so many steps.

Can't I just put it in my mouth? Looking at the steak on the table, Xiao Cheng blinked his eyes, forked the steak and took a deep bite.

"Xiaocheng! You can't eat like that!" Xiaolan looked at Xiaocheng, who was still chewing with his mouth full of steak. She was worried that Xiaocheng would choke.

"Oh, that's fine. OK." Xiao Cheng made an OK gesture. It turned out that he felt much more comfortable eating this way.

After all, daily dinner is not a formal occasion. Just eat your own food and pay less attention to other people’s strange looks.

Conan glanced at Xiaocheng helplessly. He was really used to it and was too lazy to say anything. As for Kogoro, he was still immersed in the dream of ten million.

The next day, Kogoro was still spending money, as if the 10 million was already in his pocket.

On the morning of the third day, Kogoro went to the villa, but returned disappointed. Having found nothing, he started drinking alone.

I went back to the office to complain to them and found out that Kogoro had spent three million in the past two days.

Xiaolan was shocked and helpless, but she could still accept it. However, when she learned that Kogoro spent five million on horse racing, Xiaolan could no longer hold back.

Looking at Kogoro who had passed out drunk on the sofa, and then at Erxiao who was standing obediently beside the sofa, Xiaolan held her forehead helplessly.

Not knowing what to do for a moment, Xiaolan called Kisaki Eri and began to tell her what had happened.

"Hey! You bet 5 million on horse racing?" Hibiki Eri was shocked. How could he be so bold? Hibiki Eri was a little angry. No, she was very angry.

"So the total amount spent now is 806 million. What should we do, Mom?" Xiaolan sighed a little. Dad spent too much at once.

"Don't pay attention to that kind of man. Bring Xiaocheng and Conan to me right now!" Kisaki Eri was already angry at this time.

"But... Dad said this in his sleep, Yingli... Come and save me... Yingli..." Xiaolan was talking nonsense without thinking.

Xiaocheng looked at Xiaolan talking nonsense again. It seemed that Xiaolan wanted the two of them to improve their relationship again.

As for spending more than 8 million in two days, Xiaocheng didn't know how to comment on it. It was estimated that half of the savings was spent in one go, and Xiaolan's dowry was all spent.

Conan's dead eyes were fixed on the drunk Kogoro. I should have known that this guy was not reliable at all.

But it must be said that Kisaki Eri actually believed Xiaolan's coaxing. After hearing Kisaki Eri say that she would be there soon, Xiaolan hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her mother would come, it would be fine.

Kisaki Eri arrived very quickly, it seemed that she was the first to arrive.

Xiaocheng looked at Kisaki Eri. It seemed like he hadn't seen her for a while. Kisaki Eri touched his head and looked helplessly at Kogoro who was lying on the sofa.

Kogoro was still mumbling: "I can't take it anymore... Come and save me..."

"It has been like this since just now." Xiaolan was right, it was indeed the case, but Xiaocheng was a little worried that Old Deng would say something different later.

"Really?" Kisaki Eri was a little helpless, but when she thought that he was calling her, she felt a little happy. She moved closer to Kogoro, her face a little shy and her eyes a little doting.

"Get up quickly, dear."

"Honestly, I'm full, Yoko..." Kogoro muttered.

Xiaocheng and Conan's faces changed immediately, especially Conan, who took a step back.

Erxiao looked at Kisaki Eri. At this moment Kisaki Eri's expression changed. She originally had a shy expression, but now, how to describe her expression, one part gloomy and nine parts angry.

"What's going on." Fei Yingli straightened up, her tone like a volcano about to erupt.

"Um...that...he really was calling 'Li Li' all the time just now..." Xiaolan's face was a little sweaty. Why does her father always let her down at the critical moment?

"Well, I think it might be the influence of TV." Conan couldn't help but defend Kogoro.

On TV, a program showing Yoko Okino cooking was being broadcast.

"Well, Aunt Yingli, it is well known that children don't lie, so I tell you, what Sister Xiaolan said just now is right, and uncle really has been calling you just now."

Xiao Cheng smiled innocently, but in his heart he was complaining, Lao Deng, you are really unreliable! !
