Chapter 928: A Society that Values Appearance
Maori Detective Agency.
"Tea, please."
"Thank you."
In the reception area, Xiaolan brought two cups of tea to the table. The woman and the girl sitting on the sofa raised their heads at the same time and thanked her politely.
The two are mother and daughter.
The woman's name is Shizuka Mine and the girl's name is Relia Mine.
If Hanyu Kusunoki was there, she would be able to guess the other person's identity from the name immediately.
The mother and daughter came to the office today to handle a commission.
"In other words, you want me to protect the precious sword of your family mentioned in the notice letter from being stolen by Kaito Kid, right?" Kogoro Mouri asked, holding a notice letter in his hand.
"Yes."
Mine Shizuka nodded, but her daughter, unlike her mother, was a bit more calm and said excitedly, "If the famous detective Maori Kogoro were to take action, he would definitely be able to defeat that thief Kid!"
“Hmmmm…”
Kogoro Mouri was so happy when he was praised that the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably and he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
However, in order not to ruin his image as a famous detective, he could only suppress his smile, cleared his throat, and pretended to be calm while looking at the preview letter in his hand again.
[Tonight at 8 o'clock, I will come to your house to take away the sword - Kaito Kidd.]
There is also a portrait of Kidd below.
After reading the preview letter, Maori Kogoro slammed his thigh and confidently accepted the commission: "Anyway, since I, Maori Kogoro, have accepted your commission, it is not just to protect the sword, but also to capture Kaito Kid beautifully! Let him know how powerful I am as a great detective!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Great! I'll leave it to you then!"
The mother and daughter were very satisfied with this attitude.
After all, they came from far away to do the commission, and the more confident the other party appeared, the more at ease they would feel.
Looking at the three people in front of her who were full of confidence, Xiaolan shook her head helplessly, silently took out her cell phone, and sent a message to her boyfriend.
Others may think that Kogoro Mouri is a real detective, but as a daughter, she is still unaware of her father's character. Let alone catching Kaito Kid, it would be good enough if she could keep the sword.
Overconfidence is not a good thing.

evening.
In front of the gate of a martial arts hall in the form of a house, an extremely short old lady was loudly scolding a group of policemen in front of her.
"Go back, go back, you are not welcome here!"
"Wait, the opponent is Kaito Kidd!"
"Who cares if he's Kidd or Sid? I don't need you to meddle in my business. It's so annoying!"
Following the old lady's powerful shout, Officer Nakamori and his men were swept away like an invisible gust of wind and were driven out directly.
The old lady herself stood on the steps and said condescendingly: "It's a precious sword, we can protect it ourselves."
"You'll be the ones crying soon!"
Officer Nakamori shouted angrily.
Wherever there is Kidd, there he is.
However, before Officer Nakamori could continue to persuade the other party to let the police in to help, a voice came from the side.
"Grandma, what are you doing?"
Feng Leilia saw her grandmother bullying a group of policemen from a distance, and hurried over.
Behind her, Shizuka Mine, Kogoro Mori, and Ran were also walking towards the martial arts hall.
Well, there are a bunch of kids.
Conan and the three little ones also came over.
When Conan was picking up something at the Mouri Detective Agency, he heard that Mouri Kogoro had received a commission related to Kaito Kid. It was like he was given a shot of stimulant. He forgot all about Kamen Rider and quickly pestered Mouri Kogoro to catch up.
The three little ones also followed together under the name of the Junior Detective Team.
If there is something wrong, it’s the Detective Team; if there is nothing wrong, it’s Conan.
The great detective has now seen through this secular world.
"It's Lelia. I just kicked those guys out."
"Huh? Aren't they police officers?"
Feng Leilia looked at the policemen in front of her in a daze.
Is my grandma so fierce?
Hearing this, the old lady waved her hand indifferently: "Don't worry about them, Lelia, who are these people behind you?"
"The famous detective, Mr. Maori Kogoro, his daughter, Ms. Ran, and everyone from the Junior Detective League, are here to protect the sword from being stolen by Kaito Kid."
Feng Leilia introduced everyone.
The old lady frowned unwelcomely and shouted, "What a waste of time! Let them go back!"
As the sun sets, the atmosphere in front of the martial arts hall becomes tense.
The old lady put her hands on her hips, with an attitude that said "no one can stop her", and was determined to drive the police away.
Ria Minerelia and her mother Shizuka Mine looked helpless, while Kogoro Mouri stood there awkwardly - he was a famous detective, but he was actually despised by an old lady?
at this time--
"Brother Nan!"
Ayumi's eyes suddenly lit up and she ran away cheering.
Hanyu Kusunoki was seen strolling around the corner, flanked by Shimabukuro Kimie, dressed in a miko costume, and Nakamori Aoko, in casual clothes. He was wearing a simple white shirt and black slacks, yet he looked as dazzling as the gentle breeze and bright moon.
Conan stood behind the crowd and quietly looked around - he didn't see the familiar light gray figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the "smiling tiger" Hanyu Kusunoki, the black-hearted loli Haibara Ai's syringe and cold face scared him more. The "contribution" of two tubes of blood last night still made his arm ache slightly.
"Brother Nan!" Ayumi flew towards Hanyu Nan like a happy little bird. The latter bent down to catch her with a smile and rubbed her head.
"Hey, Conan, you're here too?"
Hanyu Kusunoki looked at a certain great detective with a smile.
Conan laughed dryly: "Ahahaha...yes, what a coincidence."
What a coincidence! Why do you always appear to be such a disaster?
The great detective was complaining madly in his heart.
On the other side, Xiaolan saw Aoko happily going up to them. The two girls who looked almost identical standing together were as eye-catching as twins.
At the same time, the eyes of the three women in the martial arts hall - the old lady, Mine Shizuka, and Mine Relia - all fell on Hanyu Kusunoki.
The young man stood there, without doing anything special, but he seemed to have a soft light filter, and even the evening breeze seemed gentle.
The "appearance radar" passed down from ancestors is never wrong.
In the original plot, they could be fooled by Kaito Kid's appearance, but now facing Hanyu Kusunoki's beauty, they have no resistance at all.
"So, so handsome..." Feng Leilia's cheeks flushed slightly.
"This look... is like she walked out of a painting..." Feng Shizuka sighed softly.
