Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 194 Invitation from Dusk
Ever since Gin made her fried rice last time, Kurosawa Mirai couldn't forget the taste.

I've never eaten anything so delicious!

Is this the legendary Chinese cuisine?

Zhu Fujing was stunned for a second, then sighed, "Miss, didn't you just say that the food I cooked last time was tasteless?"

"That's okay! Just add more salt this time." Kurosawa Mirai's eyes were full of fighting spirit, "Brother Jingguang, please help me move a stool over, I can do it myself!"

She must learn how to make such delicious food, so that when Shiho... no, when she and Sekai can reunite, she can make it for her sister herself.

However, Zhu Fujingguang refused and said seriously:

"No, how can a little kid like you go into the kitchen? What if you get burned?"

“…Brother Jingguang, I’m twenty-four!”

"But actually you're nine now."

"..."

In the end, it was Zhu Fu Jingguang who persuaded the future young lady to go back to her bedroom with kind words, and decided to study how to make fried rice more fragrant.

but……

After Zhu Fujingguang took the good ingredients to the kitchen, Kurosawa Mirai sneaked out of the room again and ran into Ying's room.

She tiptoed to the computer desk and turned on the computer, trying to lower the volume as much as possible to avoid disturbing Ying who was still sleeping soundly.

After turning on the computer, she skillfully typed a line of code on the blank screen.

The computer screen went black, and after a series of garbled characters appeared, a large smiling face and a line of small words appeared:
[Miss, is there anything I can help you with?]
Kurosawa Mirai silently typed out a line of text: "I want to see how my sister is doing now."

[Okay, Miss, please wait a moment. I will go and transfer to Master Jing.]
After saying this, Noah was silent for three to five seconds.

Then, some photos popped up on the screen.

In the middle of these photos, there is always a little girl with short brown hair. Some of them are carrying school bags to school, while others are wearing casual clothes and going out to play...

Although there are summer, winter and autumn, judging from the dates, they were all taken in the past few days.

Kurosawa Mirai looked at the photos and smiled sweetly.

"It seems like Shiho has made some friends too..."

She did not ignore the children who appeared most frequently around her sister.

After looking at the photos, Kurosawa Mirai felt relieved. She typed another line of words, expressed her gratitude to Noah, and then turned off the computer.

Turning around and finding Ying still sleeping with his head covered, Kurosawa Mirai let out a breath, slowly left the room and closed the door.

Kurosawa Mirai walked into the living room and was thinking about what to do to kill time when there was a knock on the door.

She was stunned for a moment, and after making sure that the rhythm of the knocking was correct, she went over and opened the door.

"Kaito? Why are you here?"

Kurosawa Mirai was a little surprised to see the young man outside the door.

At the door, Kuroba Kaito scratched his head, "Ah... Isn't there something going on in a couple of days? I think Jingguang-niang's disguise materials are almost used up, so I'll send some over first."

"You're not going to steal again, are you?"

After Kurosawa Mirai let Kaito in, she teased with a smile.

For someone like her, whose hands are stained with blood, she actually found it very interesting that Kaito stole things and then returned them.

Kuroba Kaito grinned, "That... isn't the case. It's just that someone I know sent invitations to a lot of detectives in my name, so I'm a little concerned... Come to think of it, it has something to do with your organization."

"Organization?" Kurosawa Mirai was stunned, but his expression didn't change much. "Where are you going?"

She has now basically walked out of the shadow of the organization...

Maybe it’s because he discovered that there are quite a lot of friendly forces.

"Hmm... a place called Twilight Villa." Kuroba Kaito pinched his chin and thought for a while, "I remember the owner of the villa was called Karasuma Renye..."

"At dusk, in the annex..."

Kurosawa Mirai's expression changed slightly. Is this the legendary place?

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Kuroba Kaito blinked and said, "What's wrong, Mirai-sister, do you know that place?"

"I've only heard of it." Kurosawa Mirai nodded solemnly, "Kaito, you must be careful when you go there... It is a holy place for the organization, especially the person who sent the letter to you, you must be careful."

Holy place?

Kuroba Kaito paused, "Come to think of it, Uncle Ren also said last night that it was a 'holy land'..."

"... Gin?" Kurosawa Mirai blinked, "Gin won't go too, will he?"

"Well...I should say he has been there."

Kuroba Kaito touched his chin and suddenly smiled slyly, "But Mirai-sister, I think you should call Uncle Ren 'Dad', right?"

"..."

She refused!!

Kurosawa Mirai's face turned red.

To be honest, she still couldn't accept the fact that she was adopted by Gin...

It's not rejection, it's just that the cold-blooded killer who I have always regarded as a demon has suddenly become my adoptive father...

I always feel like something is not right!
However, she still recognized Gin's cooking skills.

"... Never mind. Let's take our time."

Kurosawa Mirai sighed and looked out the window. Her mood was very different from before - now she was, just like her name, full of hope for the future.

……

Two days later.

It was mid-May again.

After school as usual, Mao Lilan returned to the Mao Li Detective Agency. She habitually reached into her mailbox, took out an unsigned email and went upstairs.

When she returned upstairs, she pointed to the letter in her hand while Maori Kogoro was reading a newspaper and said, "Dad, there is an unsigned email..."

"Huh? It's not an invitation to a party, is it?"

Kogoro Mori turned his head with drooping eyelids.

Mao Lilan opened the envelope of the letter and frowned, "Really, this is too unlucky..."

Conan, who was reading a comic book, looked up.

"What?" Kogoro Mouri leaned over.

"Dad, look for yourself! He actually wrote your name in white letters on a black background."

Kogoro Mouri leaned over and also saw this strange email.

At the same time, a check slipped out of the letter and was picked up by Conan.

——A check for two million.

Maori Kogoro opened the letter and said, "Let me take a look... 'I admire your wisdom and would like to invite you to my house for dinner'... This is really an invitation to a party."

Kogoro Mori took a few glances and lost interest.

"I don't think so." Conan held up the check at this time, "Uncle, look, it also comes with another check..."

"Two, two million?!"

When Kogoro Mori saw the check, his eyes widened.

"If it's an invitation to a party, they probably wouldn't send a check along with it, since they don't even know if uncle is going or not."

Conan's well-reasoned argument convinced Kogoro Mouri.
