Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 125 Beiyuan: My Friend's Wife, You're Welcome, Then I'll Accept It.
After the elevator doors closed, the elevator began to move upwards.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Judy Sterling also started chatting.

"Ms. Judy, how are you settling in with Tokyo these days?"

Kitahara Natsuhiro, carrying Kogoro Mouri on his back, turned to Jodie and asked.

Upon hearing this, Judy smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Kitahara-sensei."

"I'm quite used to life in Tokyo, thanks to Natsuko, who helped me get used to life in Tokyo after I was in America. So I'm not having any trouble adjusting now, and the food in Tokyo is really delicious."

"By the way, the gift you gave me last time was delicious, I really liked it, thank you so much."

“But I forgot what my name is,” Judy said, blinking.

She really liked the radishes that Kitahara Natsuhiro gave her last time; they tasted great. She just accidentally ate a chili pepper, so it was a bit spicy.

However, she forgot her name.

“This is called pickled radish, it’s a fermented food,” Kitahara Natsuyu said. “Since Ms. Judy likes it, I’ll give you some more. I have plenty more, so don’t be shy.”

"Wow, that's great! I love this flavor."

Judy wasn't Japanese, so she wasn't as polite. Since Kitahara Natsuyu gave it to her, she accepted it.

"As long as you like to eat."

After he finished speaking, the elevator stopped on the 25th floor, and the doors slowly opened.

Then, Conan, Jodie, and Kitahara Natsuhiro carrying Kogoro Mouri, a total of four people, walked out of the elevator and went straight to the room door.

Kitahara Natsuhiro reached into his pocket, took out his key, opened the door, and turned to Judy: "Teacher Judy, I need to make arrangements for Mr. Mori first, so please wait a moment and come in and have a seat."

“Okay.” Judy smiled.

"Conan, there are slippers in the cabinet, could you please take them out?" Kitahara Natsuhiro said.

"Yes, Kitahara-sensei."

Conan walked in and took out two new pairs of slippers from the cabinet, one pair of children's slippers and one pair of adult slippers.

However, he was curious as to why Kitahara Natsuhiro's family had children's slippers.

Could it be that it was prepared specifically for them?

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro had already changed into slippers and went straight to the second bedroom, tossed Kogoro Mouri onto the bed, and casually covered him with a blanket.

He then left the room, closing the door behind him.

At this moment, Conan and Jodie entered the living room, sat on the sofa, and started chatting.

"Conan, you've been staring at me the whole time. Is there something on my face?"

Judy moved closer to Conan and asked with a smile.

While the three of them were in the elevator, Conan would glance over every now and then, but most of his gaze was fixed on her phone.

This made her both curious about Conan and wary of him.

Most kids wouldn't secretly peek at her or stare intently at her phone.

She and her phone aren't like Kamen Rider or Tin Man, so they don't have that much appeal to elementary school students.

Unless they are high school students in their teens or adults, they don't like to stare at pretty women.

For example, the boys in their class.

But what Jodie doesn't know is that Conan is actually Shinichi Kudo, a high school detective, and also a high school student going through puberty.

Although his body has shrunk, his mind remains the same, and he is still a lecherous man.

However, the reason he kept peeking at Judy and her phone in the elevator wasn't because he was lustful.

Instead, he sensed that something was off about Judy, and felt that she wasn't an ordinary English teacher.

An ordinary English teacher wouldn't hide their phone the moment they see someone.

It is precisely because of this that Conan secretly observes Jodie.

But he didn't expect that Judy would discover his secret observation.

This made him even more certain of his judgment that this teacher, Judy, was no ordinary person.

"Hey hey hey"

At this crucial moment, Conan used his special trick, the art of acting cute, and scratched the back of his head, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, Ms. Jodie."

“I think you look a little different from Japanese people, so I took another look.”

"I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."

He stood up and bowed slightly to Judy.

If you encounter trouble, first bow and apologize; if that doesn't work, then kneel down in reverence.

He's already apologized, so Judy can't possibly hold a grudge against a little kid like him!
Just as Conan thought.
After seeing Conan bow in apology, Judy immediately stood up and helped him up, saying, "Conan, you don't need to do that. The teacher isn't angry."

"I thought you, Conan, were looking at me a few more times because you thought I was very pretty and had a great figure."

"It turns out it's because I don't look like a Japanese person. I'm so disappointed." Judy blinked and said these wild words without restraint.

They didn't care at all that Conan was an elementary school student.

However, these words are indeed very damaging to Conan, an innocent young boy, but they have no effect on Kitahara Natsuhiro, an adult.

Unless you let me do it, I might be a little shy.

Just as Judy expected, Conan's face turned red instantly upon hearing these suggestive words.

At that moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro walked over with two glasses of juice and placed them on the table: "Conan, Jodie-sensei, have some juice."

Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kitahara Natsumi forcefully intervening.

Women from America really have no sense of boundaries.

He picked up the juice from the table with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.

"Teacher Kitahara, I'm going to check on Uncle Mori. You two chat."

After saying that, Conan ran away.

Judy watched Conan run away, a smug smile on her face.

The little elementary school student finished it in no time.

It also made her realize that Conan was not like an ordinary elementary school student.

“Here, Ms. Judy, have some juice first. I’ll go get the pickled radishes right now,” Kitahara Natsuyu said with a smile.

He had witnessed the entire exchange between Conan and Jodie, including Conan glancing at Jodie and her phone from time to time in the elevator.

He only had two words for Conan: "You're asking for death!"

Although Judy is not a member of the Black Organization, she does not have a powerful intelligence network in Japan that she can utilize.

But she works for the FBI, and the FBI also has an illegal intelligence network in Japan.

Although not as powerful as the Black Organization, they are more than capable of investigating a primary school student.

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jodie will likely find out Conan's identity soon. However, this isn't a major problem; many people know Conan's true identity, so Jodie being one of them won't make a difference.

Besides, given Conan's propensity for courting death, even if Jodie didn't investigate Conan's identity, he would still walk right into her trap.

"Teacher Kitahara, there's no rush."

"It's alright, please sit here for a moment, it will be ready soon."

As he spoke, Kitahara Natsuyu went to the kitchen, took out a white glass jar from the cabinet, and then carried the jar to Judy's side and placed it on the table.

Judy looked at the jar on the table and said thank you, "Teacher Kitahara, thank you very much."

"If you don't mind, how about I treat you to a meal when I have time off next time?"

"This must be what you mean by reciprocity."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and said, "Teacher Judy learns very quickly. She knows how to use it so fast."

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony. But please don't complain about how much I eat, Ms. Judy."

“Of course not, and men who eat a lot grow strong.” Judy smiled.

Afterwards, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Judy exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Judy checked the time before preparing to take her leave.

Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and escorted Judy to the door. He closed the door after Judy returned to her home.

Just as the door closed, a familiar roar came from a room not far away.

"Conan, why am I here? And why does my neck hurt so much?!"

Then
With a loud "Duang".

As expected, Conan's head was hit hard, and a large bump appeared on it. He was squatting on the ground, howling in pain.

next second.

"It hurts!"

Just as Kitahara Natsuhiro predicted, Conan was already crouching on the ground, clutching his head and wailing in pain.

"Ugh, so noisy in the middle of the night, what a nuisance."

Kitahara Natsuyu sighed, strode towards the second bedroom, and turned the handle to open the door.

“Mr. Mori, this is my home. And please don’t shout so loudly at night. It’s easy to disturb the neighbors.”

Hearing that familiar voice, Kogoro Mouri turned around and looked over. When he saw Kitahara Natsuyu, he was stunned and confused: "Brother Kitahara? Is this your house? Why am I in your house?"

A bewildered Kogoro Mouri asked several questions in a row.

Kitahara Natsuhiro did not immediately answer Kogoro Mouri's question, but instead looked at Conan.

"Now it's time for the adults."

"Conan, why don't you go take a shower and go to bed? There are some new towels in the bathroom drawer."

"Oh."

Conan, squatting on the ground, clutched the large bump on his head and mumbled a reply before pitifully walking out of the second bedroom. As the door closed, he turned back to look at Kogoro Mouri with a resentful expression.

Upon seeing Conan's gaze, Kogoro Mouri shuddered.

After Conan left, only Kitahara Natsuhiro and Mouri Kogoro remained in the room.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro also began to explain the whole story to Kogoro Mouri.

"The story begins when Xiaolan and Attorney Fei came to my shop for dinner."

"Did Eri and Ran eat at your restaurant today?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri paused for a moment, as if he had remembered something, and his expression suddenly turned somewhat grim.

When Xiaolan went to find him, he wasn't completely drunk at all, and he still remembered some of the things he had done.

For example, he called Xiaolan and said he wouldn't be home for dinner that day, while the woman next to him called out "Kogoro".

He remembered these things very clearly.

If that's really the case, then Eri might be right next to Ran.

Then Ran came to him later, looking furious, and told him to apologize to Eri. He was wondering why he had to apologize to Eri, but now he understands.

So, when he made the call, Eri was definitely next to Ran, and Eri must have heard that woman's voice too.

Finished!

Kogoro Mouri's face turned pale instantly, his heart turned ashen, and his body began to tremble.

With trembling hands, he took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket and silently lit a cigarette for himself.

After the nicotine passed through his lungs, he calmed down a lot, but he was still a little panicked.

Kitahara Natsuhiro could tell from Kogoro Mouri's expression that he had figured things out.

Despite his usual absent-mindedness, Kogoro Mouri's mind works incredibly fast when it comes to matters concerning Eri Kisaki and Ran.

But now, no matter how fast your brain works, it's useless.

Because Eri Kisaki was already preparing to kill Kogoro Mouri.

“Just as Mr. Mori guessed,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said, “Attorney Kisaki already knows about your philandering.”

"And I'm very angry right now, but Mr. Mori, if you apologize, Attorney Kisaki should forgive you."

This is a lie.

And he said it on purpose.

As expected of me, a true green tea b*tch!
Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately started to talk tough, but he was still a little uneasy inside.

Know your own affairs.

"Apologize? Why should I apologize? It's not a given that men go out for social events. I didn't do anything wrong!"

If Kitahara Natsuyu weren't here, he would probably apologize to Kisaki Eri privately.

But now that Kitahara Natsuhiro is here, he naturally won't apologize to Eri Kisaki.

After all, he also cares about his image, and besides, if this got out, wouldn't it make him look like he's afraid of his wife?

That's why he won't admit his mistake.

Kitahara Natsuhiro looked at Kogoro Mouri's 'tough' appearance and mentally gave him a thumbs up.

As expected of you, Kogoro Mouri!

Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony.

Anyway, you and Eri are getting a divorce soon.

Therefore, there's no such thing as "a friend's wife is not to be trifled with" anymore; she'll soon become a friend's wife, so there's no need to be polite.

Farewell, Mr. Kogoro Mouri.

"Oh, right, Mr. Mori, there's something else I forgot to tell you, it's about Ran."
