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

Chapter 126: Boarding the ship as a couple (1 more)
"Hui, eat more!!"

"This is your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs."

"And there's mapo tofu with Sichuan peppercorns!"

"........."

In the office, Xiaolan, in a good mood, prepared a sumptuous Chinese meal to entertain Shiraishi E.

Shiraishi E coolly shows off!!

Although Mingmei's Japanese food is very good, it is not to his taste after all.

Only Xiaolan's Chinese food can make him salivate.

Xiaolan was very happy to see this. As a cook, the happiest thing for her is to have her work highlighted by others!

Not only Shiraishi E, but even Conan was eating with big mouthfuls.

This brought her a great sense of accomplishment.

"It's so delicious, Xiaolan-sister..." Conan stuffed rice into his mouth and said vaguely: "No wonder Shiraishi-sister wants to have dinner here!"

He remembered the white rice that Yukiko had made for him during this period. She just added a little salt and cooked it casually.

Some vegetables can be served on the table just by washing them twice!
This made Conan extremely sad and angry!
It’s fine if you just lose weight and keep in shape, but why do you have to drag me into this?

I am in the growth period!!!

"Eat slowly, Conan! Don't be in a hurry, there's still a lot." Xiaolan looked at Conan with some concern. She didn't expect that the child would be so hungry.

Shiraishi looked at Conan wolfing down his food and asked, "Ran, did you leave dinner for Detective Maori?"

Kogoro Mouri is drunk again and is now sleeping soundly in the room.

"Yes, it has been reserved!" Xiaolan had just said this when the doorbell rang.

"Wait a moment." She put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and went to open the door.

Seeing a middle-aged couple standing at the door, he politely invited them in and went to serve tea and water.

Shiraishi Hui also put down her chopsticks, sat opposite the two and said, "Excuse me, Detective Maori is out investigating something."

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged woman opposite said, "We came here specifically to look for you, Detective Shiraishi."

"Me?" Shiraishi Hui was stunned. She didn't expect that her fame would spread so quickly.

"Yes." The middle-aged woman said, took out her business card and said, "My name is Mariko Ryomoto, and this is my husband, Kitaro Ryomoto."

After receiving the business card, Shiraishi Hui looked at the middle-aged couple in surprise. She didn't expect that they would come to her? !
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" He already knew why they came.

"It's like this, I want to ask you to investigate my niece's fiancé." Mariko Taromoto sighed and said with a worried look on her face: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law died in a car accident a long time ago, leaving behind his two daughters."

"I treat my nieces as my own daughters. Her marriage should be a very happy thing."

"At the time, we felt that her fiancé Xiao Wu had ulterior motives and approached Xia Jiang only for the Lu Ben family's wealth."

"But the child has been blinded by love and she doesn't believe anything we say."

"For her happiness... we would like to ask Detective Shiraishi to investigate his situation!"

After hearing this, Shiraishi Hui stared at the two of them with a strange expression.

You really just say it without thinking... If I hadn't watched the anime, I would have been fooled by you.

Xiaolan brought tea at this time. After hearing this, she couldn't help but sighed: "Miss Ryomoto, you are so kind. You are so considerate of your niece!!"

Shiraishi Hui glanced at Xiaolan... Someone has already been deceived.

However, he did not agree immediately, but asked: "When will the investigation begin? How much time do I have?"

"We'll start the investigation tonight. You come on board with us. We have to find out the results before they go back to the island for their wedding!" said Mariko Ryūmoto. "Tonight? Isn't that too tight?" Conan was no fool, and he could tell right away that something was wrong.

If he really cared about his niece, why would he only think of investigating when she was about to get married?

Shiraishi ignored Conan's words and said without hesitation: "Yes!!"

The reason why he agreed so quickly was because he was in a hurry!
While Kogoro Mouri is still sleeping soundly, you can take Xiaolan aboard with a legitimate reason!

Thinking of this, Bai Shihui continued: "In order to facilitate the investigation, it is not convenient for me to go on board as a detective. It is best to pretend to be your distant relative."

"That's no problem." Mariko Ryūmoto agreed without thinking, after all, the old man didn't like detectives.

"As for which relative... let me think." She frowned slightly and began to recall her distant relatives.

Ryūmoto Kitaro on the side said, "I don't remember many boys, but there was a girl. When she was a child, she went to New York with her parents and never came back... What was her name?"

"Ah! I remember, Akane Ryoumoto!" Mariko Ryoumoto remembered and said, "That girl is quite introverted... Now that I calculate, she should be old enough to go to college. But the problem is... she is a girl!"

After hearing this, Bai Shihui was delighted and said, "In that case, do you think it would be appropriate for Xiaolan to pretend to be this relative?"

"Huh? Me?" Xiaolan was shocked. She didn't expect that she was involved in this matter.

Mariko Ryūmoto frowned and said, "That child was only a child when she left. I don't know what she looks like now!"

"That's right!" Shiraishi Hui smiled and said, "Since you all have forgotten, then most of the others probably don't remember either. It's decided, let Xiaolan pretend to be that Akane Ramoto, and as for me... I can't be her father, so I'll go on board as her boyfriend!"

Mr. and Mrs. Lu Ben had no objection to this proposal.

Bai Shihui looked at Xiaolan and said, "Xiaolan, can you help me?"

"That's no problem." Xiaolan would of course not refuse, after all, this is her own business.

She hesitated and said, "But...I have to go to school tomorrow."

"Just ask for a sick leave from the teacher later." Shiraishi Hui said without thinking.

"Well... okay then." Xiaolan thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Shiraishi Hui finalized the fee with the Ramoto couple, and they readily paid the deposit and said, "I'll send someone to pick you up in an hour."

"Okay, take care, both of you." Shiraishi Hui sent them downstairs, and after watching them get seated, she returned to the office.

As soon as he returned to the office, he heard Conan trying to persuade Xiaolan: "Sister Xiaolan, I want to go too!!!"

"Okay, just pretend that it's me and Xiaolan's son who got on the boat together!" Shiraishi Hui said as he walked in.

"Huh? Our...child?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then her face turned red.

Conan was a little hesitant after hearing this suggestion.

If I agree to this, wouldn't I have to call Shiraishi E "dad"?
This guy is trying to take advantage of me!

But when I thought about letting the two of them be together, I felt inexplicably unwilling!
Yes, he did say that he didn’t want to worry too much about emotional matters before solving his own physical problems!

But Xiaolan is only sixteen years old now!

What if Shiraishi E suddenly turns into a beast and stops being a human? Wouldn’t Xiaolan be in trouble then?

As a friend, he couldn't bear to see Xiaolan being harmed like this! !
Thinking of this, Conan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! No problem!!"

Hearing this, Shiraishi chuckled, rubbed Conan's head, and teased: "If you are my and Xiaolan's child... ... doesn't that mean Xiaolan gave birth to you when she was about ten years old?"

"You are usually so smart, why are you so stupid now?"

"Uh..." Conan was stunned. Only then did he realize the problem of age! !
"Okay, okay, don't think too much. You see, you think too much and your brain doesn't work well. Go eat quickly, and when you're full, go home and take a shower and go to bed!" Shiraishi Hui pinched Conan's face, signaling him not to think about following her.

"Yes... Conan, eat quickly and go home. I'll go upstairs to pack some luggage!" Xiaolan didn't care about eating dinner and went upstairs happily.
