I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 103: Moriya Teiji's Flower Tea Party (Part 2)
"Xiao Xin, I will never help you again!!"

After solving the case at the Kurokawa residence and returning to the Kudo family, Yukiko angrily said this and went back to her bedroom angrily.

"Alas..." This made Conan feel helpless.

He always felt that his mother was just like a child, always throwing tantrums at the slightest provocation, which made him feel tired!
Yusaku, who was working in the living room, saw this and asked curiously, "Xiao Xin, why did you make your mother angry again?"

"I didn't make her angry this time." Conan said, walked to sit next to Yusaku, and told his father that he planned to give up chasing Xiaolan and concentrate on solving his own problems.

"Oh?" After hearing Conan's thoughts, Yusaku looked at him in surprise.

"What? Are you going to persuade me too?" Conan said as he poured himself a cup of tea.

"I don't have such plans." Yusaku put the notebook aside temporarily. He looked at Conan with satisfaction and praised: "It seems that the decision to let you live alone is right. It's only been a few years since we last met, and you have become so sensible."

"Is...is there?" Conan felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Of course." Yusaku said seriously: "The sign of a person's maturity is to learn to make choices and let go."

Conan was somewhat pleased to see his father support his decision, and said, "I just feel that in my current state, even if I catch Xiaolan, I won't be able to stay with her."

"Very good, you have begun to consider others." Yusaku rubbed Conan's head with a smile and said, "I feel relieved to see that you are becoming more and more reliable."

In Conan's mind, Yusaku's image is very tall and majestic. He was so happy to receive recognition and praise from the other party that the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose!
This directly diluted some of the loss in his heart.

"By the way, someone sent you a letter. I left it in the study." Yusaku reminded.

"Okay, I'll go take a look now." Conan heard it and immediately walked into the study.

When he entered the study, Yukiko came out of the bedroom the next second. She said rather dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you persuade Xiaoxin?"

"I can't persuade him." Yusaku pushed his glasses helplessly and said, "You know his character."

"In that case, we might as well give him affirmation and recognition."

Of course, there are some things Yusaku didn't say.

Conan showed extraordinary talent when he was one year old.

He thinks Conan is more talented in reasoning than himself!

It's such a pity to spend all your time and energy on dating.

If Shinichi could make good use of his talent, by the time he reaches his age, his ability in reasoning will surely surpass his own.

“That’s true!” Yukiko was still a little unwilling and said, “Giving up like this… I feel so sorry!”

Just when Yusaku was about to say something, Conan came out of the study.

He came over with the envelope and said, "That's weird... Who is Moriya Teiji? Why did he invite me to his flower tea party?"

"Moriya Teiji? I've seen his name in the newspaper. He's a talented architectural designer." Yusaku had some impression of the name and said, "Several houses were burned down some time ago... I checked and found that they were all his works."

"It seems that he has also realized that he might be retaliated against, so he would like to ask you to go over and help investigate!"

Conan suddenly realized, and then he subconsciously glanced at Yukiko.

"Why are you looking at me? I said I won't help you anymore!" Yukiko certainly knew Conan's plan. She turned around and walked towards the kitchen without any hesitation.

"Uh..." Conan knew that his mother was really angry and would not help him anymore.

He turned to look at Yusaku and said, "Dad, can you run this for me?"

"I've been busy investigating the two men in black lately, so I really don't have time." Yusaku said, taking out two photos from his pocket and handing them to Conan: "Look, are they these two people?"

Conan took a closer look at the photo, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Yes! It's them! Dad, how did you find them? That's amazing."

"I only found out after asking my FBI friend for help." Yusaku said, "These two people are internationally famous criminals. They belong to a mysterious organization."

"No one knows their names. We only know that the other people call the long-haired man Gin, and the other one is his deputy, named Vodka."

"They are all very dangerous people!"

"What else?" Conan asked impatiently.

"We need to continue investigating." Yusaku didn't say much and took the photos back.

Seeing this, Conan no longer asked his father for help, and instead began to plan to ask Uncle Maori for help... No, he can't ask him!

He will ruin my reputation, so let Bai Shi help me make the trip!

.............................................

The next day, Teitan High School, rooftop.

Shiraishi Hui, Ran and Sonoko went to a different place to eat their lunch.

"Well, Shinichi asked me to attend Moritani Teiji's flower tea party on his behalf. Do you have time to go with me?" Shiraishi Hui showed the text message to Suzuran and the others.

"I want to go!!" Xiaolan raised her hand excitedly. She was very interested in these flower teas!
"I want to go too!" Sonoko raised her hand, but then she thought of something, her expression fell, and she muttered, "Ah... but I have a schedule that day."

"After school, I will rush home and take a plane to Osaka to attend a banquet hosted by the mayor of Osaka."

"Oh, you two go!" When she said this, her face was full of regret.

Shiraishi Hui and Xiaolan have become immune to Sonoko's unintentional show of wealth and know that she doesn't do it on purpose.

"If you weren't here, we wouldn't be sure what to do." Shiraishi Hui didn't hide it and said, "We have no experience in attending these banquets."

"That's true." Xiaolan also showed some concern.

"It's okay, there's no need to be nervous." Seeing this, Yuanzi said to the two of them, "Just dress appropriately."

"As for what to say, you don't have to worry about it. Anyway, we probably won't meet again in the future."

"Also, remember to eat before you go. Don't eat snacks as meals at the flower tea party. It would be very rude."

"If you feel bored, stay for about half an hour, say hello to the owner and leave."

"........."

After Yuanzi's reminder, the two were more or less mentally prepared.

The break was almost over, and after Ran and Sonoko said goodbye to Shiraishi E, they returned to the classroom.

On the way back to the classroom, Xiaolan thought about it and said to Sonoko, "I think... I still shouldn't go."

"Huh? Why are you suddenly not going?" Sonoko looked at Xiaolan in surprise.

"Well..." Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to tell the truth, saying apologetically: "If I always go out with Shiraishi-kun, you, Sonoko, will misunderstand me."

"You obviously like him, but I'm the one who always gets along with him... You must be a little bothered in your heart, right?"

After hearing what Xiaolan was thinking, Sonoko laughed and said generously: "It's okay! I don't mind!!"

Xiaolan hesitated for a while and asked tentatively: "But... Shiraishi-kun is so outstanding. I'm worried that if I stay with him for too long, I might fall in love with him... that would be troublesome."

Instead of getting angry, Yuanzi burst into laughter and said, "Xiaolan, how about we two are good friends? Even the way we look at men is exactly the same!"

"Don't worry, Xiaolan. I'm not such a stingy person, don't feel any psychological burden!"

"Besides...I don't think I'll lose to you!"

Her tone was full of confidence, as if she was sure of victory.

Sonoko thought that her relationship with Hui had developed to the point where they could even touch each other's thighs.

With such an intimate action, how can Xiaolan win?

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

I'm sorry, Lan... I've already won at the starting line!
Xiaolan looks at the garden as always, with mysterious confidence.

She really wanted to say that she had actually kissed Shiraishi-kun... Although there were reasons for it, it still counted as a kiss, right?

She whispered, "But what if I win?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Yuanzi waved her hands repeatedly and said confidently: "If you can win, I will personally hold a wedding for the two of you!!"

"That's not necessary." Xiaolan felt that this was too much, and she said, "Just don't break up with me when the time comes."

"You too!" said Sonoko confidently.

The two looked at each other, secretly rejoicing in their hearts, and felt that victory would be theirs in the end!

----------------------

In Ginza, a high-end clothing store.

"Eh? 640,000 yen? That's expensive!" Xiaolan looked at the price of a simple white lace dress and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Forget it... The things here are too expensive."

"It's okay. I have a 70% discount coupon! It's a lot cheaper!" Shiraishi said, taking down the lace dress worth 640,000 yen, handed it to Xiaolan and said, "Try it on, it suits you very well!"

"But... even with a 70% discount, it's still nearly 200,000 yen! It's too expensive." Xiaolan kept pushing away, feeling that she couldn't wear such an expensive skirt.

"Xiaolan, I didn't expect you to be such a materialistic girl. You care so much about money!" Shiraishi Hui said disappointedly.

"This...I...I'm not." Xiaolan quickly denied it. She was not materialistic!

"Since you're not, then try it on... This is my gift to you!" Shiraishi Hui said as she pushed Xiaolan into the dressing room, threw the skirt to her, and closed the door.

Xiaolan hurriedly caught the skirt, fearing that such an expensive skirt would be damaged.

"Shiraishi-kun is so domineering..." Although she said this, she felt happy unconsciously in her heart... because she really liked this skirt! !
Outside the dressing room, Shiraishi Hui had just sat down when she saw a female shopping guide coming over. She said politely, "Sir, I'm very sorry to have overheard your conversation just now... I don't remember our store offering any 70% discount coupons. Did you go to the wrong store?"

Bai Shihui didn't say anything. He took out his wallet, grabbed a stack of fifty thousand-yuan bills and handed them over, saying, "Here, a 30% discount coupon!"

The female shopping guide was stunned for a moment, then she realized... He saw that the girl minded the gift being too expensive, so he deliberately made up an excuse to deceive the girl.

She took the money and smiled, "I understand... I'll get you a 70% discount coupon right now! Please wait."
