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

Chapter 15 Meal Expenses (3 more)
The next morning, Shiraishi Hui attended class as usual.

When it was lunch time, I took my lunch box and went to have lunch with Xiaolan and the others.

During lunch, Xiaolan proposed: "Shinichi, Shiraishi-kun, and Sonoko, how about coming to my house for dinner after school today?"

"Eh!! I really want to go! With so many people, it must be very lively!" Sonoko's face was full of anticipation, but then her expression dimmed and she said, "But... I'm still under house arrest and can't leave school."

"It's a pity that you can't come, Yuanzi." Xiaolan expressed deep regret that her good friend couldn't go with her.

So she turned to look at Shinichi with hope in her eyes.

"Tsk, I'd better forget it." Shinichi complained while eating his lunch box: "If I go, Uncle Maori will definitely say that I stole his job."

"It's obviously his own fault, but he still blames me!!"

This gave Xiaolan a headache, as this was indeed the reason why Shinichi didn't like to go to her house.

Dad and Shinichi don't get along very well and they always quarrel whenever they meet.

Shiraishi Hui said, "It won't be too late to have a dinner after the game!"

"Yeah, that's the only way." Xiaolan was helpless, especially when she thought about the problems between Shinichi and his father, she felt even more of a headache and didn't know how to deal with it.

This question has been bothering Xiaolan all afternoon.

To the extent that she was a little absent-minded during training.

After Shiraishi Hui noticed this, she didn't say anything.

Instead, he found the right moment and punched Xiaolan in the eye.

"Ah!" Xiaolan was frightened when she saw the enlarged fist!
But luckily the fist stopped at her face and did not hit her.

"Can you concentrate now?" Shiraishi Hui asked, retracting her fist.

"But...it's okay." Xiaolan said shyly with a red face.

"Then continue." Shiraishi Hui signaled Xiaolan to attack, and then beat her up again to cheer her up.

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

In the afternoon, after the training, Xiaolan bowed and apologized to Shiraishi Hui on the way home: "I'm really sorry, Shiraishi-kun. I was distracted during the training today."

She felt very guilty and felt that she had let down Shiraishi's efforts.

It is obvious that the other party is willing to sacrifice his time to train me, but I am distracted.

"Learning to concentrate is also a required course." Bai Shihui comforted her and said, "What were you thinking about just now?"

"I was wondering... why Shinichi and his father can't get along?" Xiaolan expressed her distress. She said softly: "It seems that every time they meet, they will quarrel."

Shiraishi Hui thought it was something else, just this?
He chuckled and said, "No father would like to see his daughter, whom he raised with great difficulty, being abducted by another man."

"This man's attitude towards me is so bad, and my own daughter even speaks for him!"

"If it were me, I wouldn't be happy either."

After hearing this, Xiaolan immediately understood.

She quickly asked: "Then...is there any way to solve it?"

Shiraishi shrugged and said, "There is no solution! We can only wait for Shinichi to figure it out himself."

After a pause, he reminded: "And Xiaolan, your butt is crooked, you can't always stand on Shinichi's side."

"You should also think more from your father's perspective sometimes."

Facing Shiraishi's scolding, Xiaolan lowered her head guiltily and said, "I... I know." She is not stupid, she just has raging hormones during adolescence.

This made her subconsciously pay more attention to Shinichi and ignore her old father's feelings.

"Which... Shiraishi-kun, are you coming to my house for dinner tonight?" Xiaolan said a little embarrassedly: "Because after you came yesterday, Dad was very happy."

"I haven't seen him this happy in a long time!"

"I would have had this plan even if you hadn't told me." Shiraishi smiled and said, "I found that Mr. Maori and I hit it off right away."

"Is that so? That's great!" Xiaolan was extremely happy to see that Shiraishi Hui was willing to go!
However, she thought of something and quickly said, "Don't buy wine this time!"

"Okay." Shiraishi Hui nodded.

But after arriving at the Mouri Detective Agency, he still took advantage of the time when Xiaolan was making dinner to drink beer with Mouri Kogoro every meal!
joke!

How can a man have topics to talk about if he doesn't drink? How can he get closer to his partner? How can he make progress?

The most important thing is that he just spent 50 yen to buy "Thousand Cups Without Getting Drunk" yesterday.

If you don't drink it, wouldn't it be a waste of money?

"Dad, Shiraishi-kun, let's have dinner...ah! Why are you drinking again?" Xiaolan finished dinner and went downstairs to see what was going on, her face full of helplessness.

She is now both happy and helpless!

Maori Kogoro immediately retorted: "The alcohol content of this beer is only 5%vol. It's not beer at all, it's just water! How is this different from drinking tea?"

As he said that, he quickly invited Bai Shihui to go upstairs to eat.

During dinner, Bai Shihui praised Xiaolan's cooking skills and said, "Xiaolan, your Chinese food is very good. It's much more authentic than those so-called Chinese foods out there!"

"Really?" Xiaolan was very happy to be praised. She said, "Then Shiraishi-kun, you should eat more!!"

After laying the groundwork, Shiraishi Hui finally revealed her purpose: "Xiaolan, can I have dinner here from now on? Don't worry, I will pay for the food!"

He had to admit that Xiaolan's cooking skills were really amazing, and the Chinese food she made was authentic...which was also the reason why he wanted to come here.

Who wants to cook when you have money?

"Huh?" Xiaolan was caught off guard by this sudden proposal.

At the same time, I am very happy and feel that my skills are recognized!
"Of course no problem!" Maori Kogoro readily agreed and said, "After school, come over with Xiaolan!"

"As for food expenses, 10,000 yen a month will be enough!"

He didn't charge much, just a token of his appreciation.

Shiraishi E also knew that Kogoro Mori wanted to take care of her, so she nodded in agreement.

I'm not short of money, so I can just buy them some gifts to make up for it when the time comes.

After dinner, he started chatting with Kogoro Mori.

But just at this moment, the cell phone rang.

Shiraishi Hui took out her cell phone and saw that it was a letter from Mingmei.

She had just overheard a piece of intelligence that an illegal transaction would take place at the Mihua Wharf in an hour.

When Shiraishi Hui saw it, her eyes suddenly lit up!
Finally there is action!
He didn't bother to chat with Kogoro Mori. After saying goodbye and leaving, he went to where Mingmei was.
