I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

In fact, Nangong Xiao didn't want to suffer in that Beetle anymore.

'Father and daughter' walked side by side under the street lights.

Although Mihua Town is in Tokyo, it is not a bustling commercial area, but more like a residential area. Although there are some shops, it is not too lively, and even looks a little deserted.

After walking on the relatively deserted street for a while, Nangong Xiao said, "Xiaolan, shall we go buy a car tomorrow?"

"Huh? The car..." Xiaolan thought for a while, "Dad, is the budget ample? Obviously, I'm going to cooperate with Dr. A Li to develop something."

"Well, it's still ample. It's enough to buy an ordinary transportation vehicle."

"That's it, okay, let's go together tomorrow." Xiaolan smiled and nodded in response.

"Well, by the way, Xiaolan, you're a little out of spirits today, honestly you're distracted or something, if you have something on your mind, you can tell me if you don't mind."

"...Well, it's nothing, just... oh, it's been two or three days, and there is no news about Xinyi, and I don't know what happened. I'm just worried."

After hesitating for a while, Xiaolan spoke with a troubled face, but the entanglement and doubts in her eyes all showed that things were not what she said.

Unfortunately, the lights were dim, and Xiaolan lowered her head, Nangong Xiao didn't see Xiaolan's expression clearly, so she didn't notice this.

Although he didn't notice any strange expression on Xiaolan's face, Nangong Xiao could tell that Xiaolan wasn't telling the truth.

Apart from Kudo Shinichi, the only ones who can trouble Xiaolan so much are those important relatives.

In terms of importance, what could compare to Xiaolan's parents?

If something happened to Feiyingli, Xiaolan must have rushed over.

In other words... Xiaolan began to doubt her identity?

After this thought flashed by, Nangong Xiao was also relieved. After all, he couldn't bear to imitate Kogoro Mori's character and behavior completely, so it was doomed that his daily behavior would be very different from the real Kogoro Mori.

It's easy for outsiders to say, but how can Xiaolan, a close relative who has lived with Mori Kogoro for more than ten years, fail to notice the difference between the two?

It looks like it's really 'exposed'... But judging from Xiaolan's current reaction, it seems that she doesn't intend to expose...

After a little hesitation, Nangong Xiao made a decision, that is, wait for Xiaolan to find out by herself.

Although there were many thoughts, it was only for a moment. Nangong Xiao said, "That brat Kudo Shinichi? Huh, that kid is already this big, what can he do? By the way, Yusaku and Yukiko are often together Overseas, as parents, they are so reassuring about that kid Kudo, what are you worried about?

Besides, with that kid's personality, he presumably has his eye on some case, some secret investigation, etc. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and he will contact you after a few days. "

Xiaolan was silent for a while, but soon, she seemed to have adjusted her state, and seemed to have made up her mind, Xiaolan raised her head, with her usual smile on her face, and said, "What Dad said is also true." That's right, there were several times when Shinichi suddenly didn't know where he went, but this time it's almost the same... By the way, Dad, what brand of car do you want to buy? Mitsubishi? Honda? Or a foreign brand?"

"I wanted to buy Wuling, but unfortunately I didn't."

"Eh? Wuling? What brand is this?"

"It's normal if you haven't heard of a niche foreign brand. Well, let's get a Toyota. As for which one, we'll wait until we see the real thing tomorrow."

"it is good."

Chapter 316 Single Mission - The Great Power of 'Death'

It was night, and the third floor of the office was quiet.

Nangong Xiao was writing codes on the desk in Mori Kogoro's room, while Poli Wang Awei was lying on the table watching the various codes flowing on the laptop screen.

It can understand a little.

As for why I can understand it, it is also very simple. Someone really wants to train Comrade Awei in the direction of an all-rounder national pillar.

Let's not talk about the relationship between master and servant.

Xiaolan, who has already taken a shower, is also in front of the desk in her own room at this time, lying on the table, holding the phone with one hand, chatting with Fei Yingli on the other end of the phone.

After the mother and daughter talked about the family for a while, Xiaolan suddenly asked, "Mom, what do you think a person will have to change his personality? It's the kind that becomes like a different person."

Fei Yingli: 【Why do you ask this suddenly? 】

Xiao Lan giggled, "I'm just curious, Mom, tell me, do such people really exist?"

Fei Yingli: [How should I put this, your question is too general, but if it is a phenomenon like a sudden temperament change, although it is not universal, it is not a rare case. Some mental stimulation leads to great enlightenment or something, which can be regarded as a normal change, um, is this what you are talking about? 】

Xiaolan pursed her lips, as if she was thinking about something.

Fei Yingli: [Xiaolan? 】

"Ah, mom, that's it, um, um, dad has changed a lot recently..." Xiaolan quickly changed the subject after she recovered.

Fei Yingli: [Xiaolan, you don't want to tell me that that guy's temperament has changed drastically, he has become so good, he has become such a Gu family, right?You have used this trick before, really... Although I can take the initiative to buy you a mobile phone to facilitate contact, and take the initiative to add new clothes to you... I'm sorry Xiaolan, these things should be done by my mother, this is all my mother Oversight....】

While talking, Fei Yingli's tone on the phone became extremely self-blaming.

Xiaolan didn't blame her mother for anything, so she quickly said, "Mom, I don't blame you, I know you are very busy, and you are often so busy that you don't even eat three meals on time. Do you eat lunch and dinner on time?"

Fei Yingli: [Uh... Of course, don't worry, I will definitely eat on time, haha...]

"Mom, you can't do this..." Xiaolan smiled helplessly, and when she was about to say something, Fei Yingli on the phone said hastily.

[Oh, it's getting late, Xiaolan, go to bed early, I'm going to take a shower, we'll talk when I'm free. 】

Then hang up directly.

Seeing her mother hang up the phone, Xiao Lan, who wanted to preach but failed, pouted, "Mom really..."

After closing the phone cover, Xiao Lang paused for a moment, but left the desk and opened the door of the room. Through the light from the gap under the door of his father's room, he knew that that special 'father' was not asleep.

After thinking about it, Xiaolan finally sighed, "For the time being, let's do it like this..."

......

In the next week, apart from going to Suzuki Sonoko's house halfway, having an interview with Sonoko's parents about cooperation matters, and finalizing the cooperation model with Sonoko and Xiaolan as the core, Nangong Xiao took Xiaolan with him during the rest of the time. During the summer vacation, I went to various scenic spots near Tokyo to visit.

The main reason is that after buying a new car, it is convenient to travel. In the past, due to economic problems, Xiaolan rarely had the opportunity to go out for fun. As Nan Gongxiao, who really likes this 'daughter', it is only natural that she should take Xiaolan outside to have a good time. .

By the way, because Xiaolan didn't like the shape of AE86 very much, Nangong Xiao had to give up the idea of ​​cosplaying "tofu guy", and finally chose a black painted Corolla AE101 GT.

During the play, Nangong Xiao noticed that Xiaolan's spirit and mood were very good, and her attitude towards him hadn't changed at all, just like treating her real father, which made Nangong Xiao a little suspicious. My previous guess was wrong.

Especially on the third day of outing, Xiaolan received a call from Kudo Shinichi, confirming that the other party was caught in the case as usual and could not escape, Xiaolan's relieved smile made Nangong Xiao even more suspicious that his previous judgment was wrong.

Although he was a bit puzzled, Nangong Xiao didn't worry about it too much. Xiaolan's mood was good enough for Nangong Xiao who was gradually taking on the role of "loving father".

As for other things, let's talk about it after the mission is over.

Closer to home, the play process these few days has been very smooth, and no cases have been encountered at all.

Of course, there are reasons for this.

Because Nangong Xiao was careful, whenever he saw a khaki beetle, he would immediately turn around or directly change his itinerary.

In Nangong Xiao's mind, as long as he stayed away from the 'Reaper', he would definitely not encounter a case.

As it turns out, he was right.

Because when I saw TV news reports occasionally during the trip, Nangong Xiao discovered that the recent news reports had a lot of news about Dr. A Li, the "new star in the detective world"!

Don't think too much, it must be caused by Conan.

What made Nangong Xiao even more surprised was that in a week, there were actually three days of news about Dr. A Li cracking different cases. Basically, a murder case or a major case happened every other day. This frequency is Nangong Xiao Feel a little tingly.

By the way, Nangong Xiao knew about one of these cases.It's the murder case of the curator of the museum.

I don’t know how Dr. Ali and Conan became interested in going to the art museum to “harm people”, but the process of this case also made Nangong Xiao feel very boring, and the media reported how powerful Dr. Ali was. Put the neon police to death.

But when Nangong Xiao thought about it, the armor that the curator wore when he killed was found in time, so wouldn't the case be closed by direct DNA comparison?

We must know that since the 80s, DNA identification technology has been put into criminal cases, and at this time, DNA identification technology has become very mature.

But according to the news reports, it is obvious that they are bragging about the power of "Dr. Nangong Xiaodu began to wonder whether this was deliberately done by the media of a hostile country.

Or is it really 'the enemy within'?

If yes, then interesting.

Of course, how the media hypes up the detective industry and discredits the police has nothing to do with Nangong Xiao. In this world, apart from missions, only Xiaolan can take care of him.

When it comes to tasks, Nangong Xiao is also very helpless.

Since the last time 'Ling Qi' appeared to warn, in the following days, no matter how Nangong Xiao called, 'Ling Qi' did not respond again.

And the task interface still hasn't changed at all.

This made Nangong Xiao feel a little more impatient occasionally.

The good thing is that his personality is relatively calm, and he won't be at a loss because of his impatience.

Time flies, and soon, the week-long outing will be over.

This afternoon, Nangong Xiao and Xiaolan finally returned to the office with their bags.

Before going upstairs, Xiaolan habitually checked the mailbox downstairs, took out a dozen or so letters from unknown persons, and went up to the residence on the third floor with Nangong Xiao carrying the "trophy" .

As for the so-called "trophies", most of them are daily necessities such as clothes specially purchased for Xiaolan. Of course, there are also a small number of clothes that Xiaolan chose for Nangong Xiao, and the rest are handbags for relatives and friends. letter.

After sorting out those 'trophies', Xiaolan began to look through the letters left behind in the past few days, most of which were utility bills or leaflets, but soon Xiaolan found a letter from another place.

"Apart from our address and 'Mori Kogoro's personal letter', there is no information...Was the letter sent from Moon Shadow Island? I have never heard of it..."

Puzzled, Xiaolan handed the letter to Nangong Xiao who was already sitting on the sofa, holding a laptop and starting to write codes.

"Dad, this is yours."

"Oh." After Nangong Xiao responded, he also took the letter and opened it for a look.

But there is only a piece of letter paper inside, and there are many words on the letter paper, but those words are all cut out from newspapers or books, rearranged and pasted on the letter paper.

"Eh? Is this a threatening letter?" Xiaolan leaned over curiously, supported Nangong Xiao with her left hand, looked down at the letter paper, and read out the content on it. "On the night of the next full moon, shadows will start to disappear again on Moon Shadow Island. Please investigate the reason—Keiji Aso? Is this a request?"

Moon Shadow Island...

For this term, Nangong Xiao still has some impressions, especially Ma Shengshi, one of the ancestors of women's clothing on the island, Nangong Xiao can be described as 'deeply impressed'.

After sighing in his heart, Nangong Xiao also said, "Probably, but, just such an inexplicable sentence wants me out? It's too naive..."

"father!"

"Ok?"

"Our Corolla is not cheap, not to mention the cost of this trip and the cost of shopping. And Dad is going to take over the Polo Coffee Shop, which is a lot of money."

"so what?"

Xiaolan said with a smile, "So, just work hard~~"

"...Okay." Seeing Xiaolan's expectant face, Nangong Xiao, who was gradually getting closer to the "daughter control", had to compromise, "But let's say it first, I won't pay attention to such an inexplicable letter. ,unless..."

"Ring Ling~~~"

Before Nangong Xiao finished speaking, the extension connected to the landline phone in the office on the second floor rang in the living room.

After Nangong Xiao shrugged, he came to the landline and directly pressed the speakerphone.

After answering the phone, Nangong Xiao said, "Hello, this is the Mori Detective Agency. I am Mori Kogoro. May I help you?"

As soon as the words were finished, a deliberately low male voice came from the phone.

【is back?Just in time... There are still three days before the full moon, and the handling fee of 50 yen has already been remitted in. You must come. 】

"You are Keiji Aso? I have received your letter. Please explain the commission in detail..."

【I am Keiji Aso from Tsukage Island, I must come. 】

【beep----】

Nangong Xiao planned to make a statement as a matter of routine, but the other party hung up the phone directly.

"Hee hee~~50, Dad, come on!" At this moment, Xiaolan waved her fist at Nangong Xiao with a smile on her face.

"Okay, I got it." Nangong Xiao could only helplessly respond...

Chapter 317 Single Mission - Purchasing

The next morning, in the office of the firm that hadn't been officially open for a long time, a girl who was about to turn into a "monster" was ushered in early in the morning.

"You guys are really too much! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey~~"

The girl was none other than Suzuki Sonoko. At this time, she was huddled on the sofa with a face of grievance, weakness and helplessness. Her almost master-level acting skills actually brought tears to the corners of her eyes. The pitiful appearance was vividly interpreted. , enough to make anyone feel pity for it.

Unfortunately, she found the wrong audience.

Xiaolan knew this 'good girlfriend' very well. She knew it was a fake. After taking a look, she ignored it and held a fruit that looked like an apple. She gnawed it with a look of enjoyment on her face. .
