How to be a great detective

"Christmas ball, why don't I know, Dad?" Xiaolan put down the spoon and looked at Mori Kogoro in surprise.

Mori Kogoro scratched the back of his head, "Isn't something delayed before, and I forgot about it."

"Father, you are talking about horse racing." Xiaolan's eyes changed, and she looked at her father suspiciously.

"How is it possible?" Mori Kogoro laughed dryly.

Uncle must be because of the horse racing.

Conan saw through everything.

Although he is not a detective, Mori Kogoro's cover-up is too obvious, but compared with Yayoi, Xiaolan also fully understands that her father put aside the matter of receiving the invitation to the Christmas ball because of the horse race.Xiaolan didn't hold on to the truth covered by Kogoro Mouri, and asked him helplessly, "Which Christmas ball is it?"

"...I can't remember it for a while." Struggling in his mind for a while, Mori Kogoro gave up, "In short, you will know everything when you see the invitation letter, and I remember that invitation letter is still a bit weird. "

"eccentric?"

Conan and Toru Amuro spoke in unison.

One is the sound of detective radar, and the other is both detective radar and organizational radar.

Mori Kogoro nodded vigorously, "But I can't remember what's so weird about it."

Conan knew that it would be useless to ask Kogoro Mori to think about it. The most urgent thing now is to find the invitation letter. As long as he saw it, he could not say that all the problems would be solved, but at least he could know what the weirdness Kogoro Mori was referring to.

"Uncle, you probably put the invitation letter on the table, I'll get it."

Since my uncle forgot to tell them that he had received the invitation to the Christmas ball because of the horse racing, the invitation letter is most likely at the table where Mori Kogoro usually listens to the horse racing news, but it was just read by newspapers and the like. Something is covering it.

Without hearing Kogoro Mori's objection, Conan followed his reasoning and went downstairs to find the invitation letter, and he found it as expected.

He opened the envelope, and with just a quick glance at the contents, he knew what Kogoro Mori meant by something wrong.

Why make a point of mentioning your protégé on the invitation.

Generally speaking, the invitation letter states that you are expected to bring your family and friends, without specifically mentioning the apprentice.

Is it because of Toru Amuro?

Conan thought while slowly going upstairs.

He didn't point his suspicion at Yayoi, another apprentice of Mori Kogoro at all.

But Yayoi, who was not suspected, actually knew that he was the one who caused the strangeness Kogoro Mori felt.

However, like the teacher who couldn't think of inviting the group, she wanted to struggle a little bit.

What if it was an invitation to the Christmas ball from another group?

After all, my teacher is the most powerful detective in Japan, Kogoro Mori!

Of course, she also knew that this hope was slim.

So when Conan came back and told them that it was the Atobe Group that invited Mori Kogoro, and that the strange content was that they had deliberately stated in the letter that they invited Mori Kogoro's apprentices, Yayoi surrendered.

"Actually, it's because of my father." Yayoi, who had buried her head down since Mori Kogoro mentioned the Christmas invitation, wishing to get cream on her face or hair, finally raised her head and told with a pale face Everyone's real situation.

Those who didn't know thought she was the criminal who was identified by Mori Kogoro and the others.

Toru Amuro repeated: "Father?"

When Conan said something weird, Toru Amuro began to think about why the Atobe Group specifically invited the apprentices of Mori Kogoro.He first ruled out the help given by the organization. Although the Atobe Group is so big, there will definitely be a few people from the organization mixed in, but the organization will not use such obvious tricks.

What's more, this mission is not only carried out by him alone, but also Belmode.Even if he fails and cannot enter as Toru Amuro through Kogoro Mori's relationship, he can also sneak in as other invitees with the help of Belmode's disguise and complete their tasks.

Before Toru Amuro continued to think, Yayoi simply explained why Kogoro Mori's apprentice was specifically named in the invitation letter because of her father.

When he first asked Kazami Yuya to investigate Yayoi, Toru Amuro knew that Yayoi's father worked in the Atobe Group and had a high position, but he did not expect that Yayoi's father would do all this.After all, if he wanted his daughter to attend, he could bring her there himself.

Toru Amuro didn't expect that the key point was that Sakutaro Hikashi wanted to meet and talk with him.

Although Yayoi understood the key point, she definitely wouldn't say it directly.

Because I have a crush on Amuro, my father wants to talk to him...

This is too embarrassing.

"Well, it's my father. He works in the Atobe Group. When he learned that Mr. Mori was invited this time, he wanted to take this opportunity to meet the teacher who has been helping me a lot and other people in the firm. , to express my gratitude to everyone for taking care of me..." Yayoi spoke a little reluctantly, and paused for a while, "Although my father didn't say it clearly, I think it should be like this."

At least it is absolutely right to thank Maori-sensei, Xiaolan, and Conan. On the bright side, my father should also express his gratitude to Amuro.

So I shouldn't be talking nonsense, right?

Mori Kogoro didn't think much about it. Hearing Yayoi's narration, he nodded his head twice, "So that's how it is. Why did I call out the disciples to take them there?"

Detectives Toru Amuro and Conan think that this is definitely not the main purpose of Yayoi's father's actions. Although they can't figure out why, they can also speculate that the reason should fall on themselves/Mr. Amuro.

After all, Kogoro Mori had only two apprentices, and if it wasn't his daughter Yayoi, then Amuro Toru was the only one.

"Then Mr. Amuro is going?" Of course Yayoi didn't want Toru Amuro to go, so she would have to worry about the whole dance, deeply afraid that her father Hikasaku Taro would do something unbelievable.

Yayoi didn't know what this incredible thing was. After all, she didn't have any love experience before, so of course she didn't know what Hika Sakutaro would do after her daughter found someone she liked.

The unknown is always the scariest.

Originally, Yayoi wanted to say something like that Christmas balls are not funny at all, but although her acting skills are not good enough, she still has a detective mind, and there is no such thing as falling in love and then directly crashing her head.Knowing what he said, even if he used the acting skills of an Oscar-winning actor, it was doomed to make the detectives in front of him, especially Toru Amuro, aware of the fact that he didn't want him to go.

But in fact, when Yayoi looked at Toru Amuro, the words "Don't go" were clearly written.

Toru Amuro knew that Yayoi's father had ulterior motives, but since Yayoi didn't bluntly stop him, it showed that the matter was not very serious.

So Toru Amuro resolutely accepted the "good intentions" from Yayoi's father, so that he didn't have to think of ways to euphemistically express his wish to follow Mori Kogoro.

"Since your father has stated on the invitation letter that he wants Mr. Maori's apprentice to go, it would be too impolite for me not to go. And the Christmas ball should be very interesting, right?"

Toru Amuro showed yearning at the right time, making Yayoi unable to say anything else.

Amuro wants to go to see the Christmas ball so much, how can I stop it, I just need to find a way to stop my father at that time, anyway, as a social animal of the Atobe Group, he should have a lot of work to do, such as working with business partners Chatting and the like, so the time left to chat with Amuro will be greatly reduced, just look for the opportunity to block it.

What a wonderful Christmas ball, in Yayoi's heart, directly turned into a big battle to stop his father.

If Lingri Xiashuo Taro knew about this, he might not know how Mai Tai Yayoi would leave his old father aside when he had an object of love.

Simply he does not know.

"Speaking of the Christmas ball, do you need us to prepare gifts?" Xiaolan asked aloud, asking if it was fake, reminding Yayoi and Amuro Toru that it was real.

Mori Kogoro snatched the invitation letter from Conan, took another look, and said, "It's not written on the invitation letter, so it shouldn't be necessary, as long as the person arrives."

The smile on Xiaolan's face was frozen for two seconds, and then she recovered very quickly, and winked at Kogoro Mouri, "Although there is no such requirement at the dance party, I still have to prepare a personal gift, and Dad, you Maybe it’s because you think you don’t need to give mom a gift for Christmas.”

"What kind of gift, heh." Hearing Fei Yingli, Mori Kogoro became as arrogant as usual.

Xiaolan, who has been working hard to help her parents resolve the separation situation, was very uncomfortable with it. She sneaked her hand under the table, and then pinched Kogoro Mouri. She didn't use all her strength, but it was enough to make Kogoro Mouri feel the pain. "Dad, you must really want to give it away, right——"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Mori Kogoro took a breath, and finally rescued his poor thigh from his daughter.

Conan, who witnessed the whole process, didn't feel sorry for him at all, but felt that he was suffering on his own.

Xiaolan, who used force to make Mori Kogoro submit, barely calmed down, and she didn't forget her original purpose for mentioning this matter, with a bright smile on her face again, "By the way, Yayoi-san and Mr. Amuro Do you have any presents you would like?"

When Xiaolan asked, Conan, who knew her very well, also turned around.

After all, Xiaolan has made it clear that she wants to give gifts to everyone. According to the characters of Toru Amuro and Yayoi, it is impossible to be the person who only accepts but does not give away.And after giving Xiaolan a Christmas gift, it is impossible to skip other people's gifts, so the final result is that everyone has to give gifts to each other.

In this way, whether it is the thin-skinned Yayoi or the suspicious Amuro Toru, they can receive gifts from each other.

Conan shifted his gaze to the two who asked Xiaolan to send an assist, Yayoi obviously realized this, and the temperature on his face rose again, otherwise why would his cheeks turn red again.As for Toru Amuro, although he is also aware of it, his reaction is not as big as Yayoi's, which fully reflects the ease of adults.

"It's already very happy to receive a gift. In contrast, I still want to know what gifts everyone wants. After all, I don't really know how to prepare surprises." Amuro spread his hands, showing a distressed expression.

Conan has not been fooled by Amuro, he believes that he will not surprise a big-headed ghost.

"Actually, I can do anything, what about Yayoi-san?" Xiaolan waved her hand, and quickly threw the topic to Yayoi.

What Yayoi can say, of course, she can only show the fact that the essence of human beings is a repeater.

"Me too."

Yayoi doesn't care much about what gifts she can receive, but she pays more attention to what gifts she should give to others.

Conan's words are different from ordinary children, but he likes football so much, so let's focus on football-related aspects.

Did Xiao Lan send some trinkets or something like that? Because of Mrs. Mizuo's incident, she recently added some knowledge about trinkets with the help of the Internet and magazines.

In fact, Mr. Maori doesn’t know the difference between wine and wine. It’s not appropriate to give good wine. It’s better to find a way to get rid of people and buy some good cigarettes for Mr. Maori.

And what does Mr. Amuro need?

The last Amuro Toru made Yayoi completely troubled.

At this moment, she was completely unaware of the gift problem before her, apart from what to give Amuro Toru, there was also the huge problem that she didn't have so much money to buy gifts for everyone.

Amuro Toru doesn't need to worry about money at all.

After all, as long as it is required by the mission, the winery will be reimbursed in full.

So Toru Amuro only needs to think about what gifts to give everyone, just like Yayoi, Xiaolan, Conan and Mori Kogoro, he has roughly thought of what to give, except Yayoi.

Speaking of which, the last time Mrs. Mizuo gave her a diamond ring.

The author has something to say: The winery is in danger

Of course, what Touzi gave would not be a diamond ring, after all, the meaning was too obvious.
