Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 152: The Surprise Appearance of Maori Kogoro's Illegitimate Daughter
Kogoro Mouri was sitting on the sofa with a can of beer in his hand, looking drunk.

An interview program with Yoko Okino was playing on TV.

Kogoro Mouri took a sip of beer and said "Ms. Yoko, I love you", leaving Conan speechless.

Just then, the doorbell rang outside the house.

At this time, Kogoro Mouri burped, stood up tremblingly, and walked over to open the door.

"Who?"

I looked left and right, but there was no sign of anyone.

Looking down, he saw a little girl with two ponytails, half a head taller than Conan, standing at the door.

She is holding a teddy bear in her arms and looks very fond of it.

"dad."

"dad?"

When Kogoro Maori heard this, he sobered up instantly.

Conan's body trembled. Could it be that Xiaolan was also drugged by those guys?

When he walked closer and saw that it was not Xiaolan, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Kogoro Mouri looked around and saw that there was no one else. He immediately pulled the little girl into the house and slammed the door shut.

"You little brat, don't recognize random relatives. Xiaolan is the only daughter that Yingli and I have!"

The little girl seemed confused and just blinked.

"Mom asked me to come to Dad."

As expected, is there some deep generation gap between me and the little kid?
Kogoro Mouri ignored her and handed it to Conan.

Then I went back to the sofa and continued watching the interview with Yoko Okino.

Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri's back and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He turned around, looked at the little girl and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Yu'er."

"My name is Conan."

"Conan," Yu'er called his name, "I'm hungry."

"Really."

After watching the interview program, Kogoro Mouri picked up the newspaper.

Without even looking up, he said, "Conan, just take her to eat something, then ask where her parents are, and then send her back."

Conan nodded, looked at Yu'er, and asked, "What do you like to eat?"

"Ding, ding, ding!" Yu'er replied with a smile.

"what?"

Conan blinked, somewhat confused.

Dangdangdang does not refer to snacks, but is the name of a children's restaurant.

Children's restaurants were originally opened for children with unbalanced diets.

But recently, parents with children and elderly people living alone have also come here.

"This is a happy place, but the operating expenses are always in the red," said Saeko.

"Hello."

"Ah, Mr. Shimahiro."

Saeko quickly wiped her hands on her apron and walked to the door.

"I sent this week's portion over."

Sakeko picked up a bottle of milk and handed it to Qinghai Chuantang, not forgetting to recommend it to her: "The milk from Mr. Shimahiro's ranch is fresh and delicious."

On the glass bottle, there are red words "Island Ranch" printed on it, and a cute cow pattern is also painted on it.

“Remember to recycle your empty bottles.”

After giving his instructions, Shima Hiroshi turned and left.

Seeing this, Saeko immediately picked up a bag of oranges from the table and chased after him.

"A little thought."

After Qinghai Chuantang helped to prepare all the ingredients, the two of them sat aside to take a short rest.

She took out her phone, clicked on the photo Conan sent her, held it in front of him, and asked, "Do you have any impression of this little girl?"

Sakeko took one look and said with a smile, "I know, it's Yu'er! Miss Tang, do you know that child? I was there when Yu'er was born."

"When you were born?"

"At that time, I was still a midwife. Chihaya Rokugawa was a single mother who worked hard to raise Imo."

"Do you know where Ms. Chihaya Rokugawa is now?"

"I was here yesterday."

After she finished speaking, Saeko seemed to realize something was wrong. She stood up immediately, looked at her vigilantly, and grabbed the door frame with her hand.

"Why do you ask such a question? Do you intend to do something bad to Miss Chihaya?"

Qinghai Chuantang felt strange, "Is there such a person?"

"Ms. Chihaya and her daughter seem to have moved many times so far, as if they were trying to avoid someone."

Just as he finished speaking, a staff member ran with a food box in his arms, shouting, "This is terrible, this is terrible!"

"A murder has occurred at Miss Chihaya's house!"

Conan, who was hiding at the gate and eavesdropping, ran in immediately after hearing this.

Ignoring the suspicious looks from others, he said anxiously, "Quick, take me there!"

In summary, this is the story of Conan who happened to meet Qinghai Chuantang who came to the children's restaurant to do good deeds, and asked him for help.

After finishing her meal, Yu'er was sent back to the office and taken care of by Xiaolan.

"The estimated time of death was between 14:16 and : yesterday. This thing was placed in the pocket of his suit."

What was handed to Takagi was a photo of a man and a woman facing the camera.

The background is in a pub.

The date above is four years ago.

The woman is Chihaya Rokugawa. Half a year ago, she rented a house here and lived with her three-year-old daughter, Iori.

On the bedside table next to them, there is a photo of mother and daughter. Yu'er is still holding the teddy bear, treating it as a treasure.

"Takagi-senpai, could it be that Miss Chihaya strangled that man and ran away with the child?"

"I didn't run away with the child."

Just as Gao Mu was about to speak, someone answered first.

"Conan?"

"And Miss Tang?"

The expressions of the two people suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Should this be called "meeting is fate" or "lingering ghost"?

"That little girl is now in the Maori Detective Agency!"

Conan explained with a smile: "We just happened to be looking for her mother. So as soon as we found out Ms. Chihaya's address, we rushed here immediately."

"Officer Takagi!"

Just then, a police officer ran over.

"Rokugawa Chihaya didn't go to work today. According to my colleagues, she went to work around 19pm the day before yesterday."

A man ran into the company.

Excitedly, he shouted, "Chihaya, I finally found you!"

Then, the man walked up to Chihaya Rokugawa's workstation and said to her, "I've been looking for you."

"Give me back the Teddy Girl you stole."

Takagi and Yakusho looked at each other and both felt a little strange: What is a Teddy Girl?
"In 1994, it was sold at Christie's auction house in London, England, for $17.16. Based on the yen exchange rate at the time, it was worth about 2000 million yen. And the name of the Steve teddy bear was 'Teddy Girl'."

After listening to Qinghai Chuantang's explanation, Gao Mu felt like his jaw dropped.

"A stuffed bear, worth 20 million?"

On the other hand, Ye Jiusheng was just slightly surprised.

Takagi felt sad: Am I the only young person here who needs a loan to buy a ring?

"Officer Takagi, look!"

Conan pointed at the man in the photo and said, "This uncle has a badge on his chest! It seems to say 'Stevie' in English. It should be the emblem of their company!"

"Wow, Conan is so awesome!"

Qinghai Chuantang pretended to be surprised and said, "At such a young age, you can actually know such complicated English words."

Conan scratched his head, seeming a little shy.

"It's okay, actually. I just happened to see it on TV before, so I wrote it down."

Although he appeared shy on the outside, he was actually very nervous inside.

What is Sister Xiaotang trying to do? Could it be that she is trying to trick herself again?

"Oh--"

Qinghai Chuantang deliberately prolonged the false sound, giving a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Leaning over him, he asked with a smile, "Could it be the educational channel of Hawaii Polytechnic?"

Conan instantly understood what the other party was referring to, and laughed dryly a few times and said, "Sister Xiaotang is really smart."

Takagi and Yakusho, who were unaware of the truth, were completely confused.

When the group arrived at Stevie's company, the president received them.

Before I could introduce myself, the president received a phone call, said he had something urgent to do, and left immediately.

The reception work was handed over to the woman next to him.

"My husband is a busy man."

The woman had a slightly apologetic look on her face, and then introduced herself: "I'm the vice president, Yuharu Yajima."

"I'm Nishida, the director of the new product development department. What are the police doing here?"

Nishida, who was standing next to Tanjima Yuharu, looked uneasy and a little nervous.

"This man was murdered."

As he spoke, Takagi took out a photo from his arms and placed it on the table.

Nishida recognized him immediately.

"This is Ibao, Ibao Jiaofei, one of my men. Has he been killed? Who did it?"

"It's Teddy Girl."

Gudao Youqing's expression froze for a moment.

"Tang, Miss Tang, and Conan." Takagi's smile was full of helplessness.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

After Qinghai Chuantang came in, he looked at Gudao Youqing and said, "You seem to know something about Teddy Girl?"

"do not know anything."

Gudao Youqing said it very directly.

"that."

Nishida took a step forward, as if he wanted to say something.

"Nishida!"

Gu Dao Youqing stopped him.

Nishida looked at her and said, "I think it's better not to hide it."

Then he began to explain: "That Teddy Girl is a doll equipped with artificial intelligence that I made with Yi Bao four years ago."

“So that’s AI?”

"Yes, it is."

Nishida nodded and continued, "Ibao showed it to a woman who worked at the tavern and often went there. Then the woman ran away with it."

And that woman was Chihaya Rokugawa.

Gudao Youqing said indignantly: "That woman Rokugawa Chihaya is a thief."

When they were leaving the company and were about to leave, Qinghai Chuantang suddenly stopped.

Conan felt a little confused, so he asked, "Sister Xiaotang, what's wrong?"

It's lunch time now.

The people sitting on the stone benches outside are the employees who are taking this time to relax.

Without exception, they all held glass bottles of milk in their hands.

"I've seen those milk bottles in the children's restaurant."

"Eh?"

The two of them re-entered the company.

A glass box containing milk was found in the corridor next to the lounge.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what she had seen before.

“Island Ranch.”

Conan blinked, "It's just milk, that doesn't mean anything, right?"

"Just investigate and you'll find out."

After saying that, Qinghai Chuantang yawned and rubbed his eyes lightly.

"But before that, I have to go back to bed. I spent the whole night watching shrimp catchers yesterday."

Catch the shrimp farmers?
Conan was confused and had no idea what it meant.
