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

Chapter 54 Kidnapping Xiaolan (1 more)
Saturday morning.

Shiraishi Hui and his group took a passenger ship to Yueying Island.

"Well~~~~I haven't gone out to play for a long time!" Xiaolan stood on the bow of the boat, opened her arms, and enjoyed the caress of the sea breeze.

"We're not going out to play!" Maori Kogoro corrected Xiaolan's words while holding a cigarette in his mouth, and said, "We are here to investigate!"

At this point, he exhaled a puff of cigarette and said smugly, "If it weren't for the sincerity of that man named Aso Keiji, I wouldn't have come all the way here to investigate!"

"Oh, what do you mean by sincerity? It's obviously just that the money given is large." Conan said mercilessly.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Kogoro Mouri quickly knocked Conan on the head, then looked at his daughter guiltily.

However, it was too late. Xiaolan had already realized that something was wrong. She walked over and asked, "Dad, you have already received the money? How come I didn't know?"

"No way! This guy is talking nonsense! Right? Conan!" Maori Kogoro quickly gave Conan a threatening look!
Conan covered his head and looked at Maori Kogoro unhappily, thinking: Even my father never hit me! You hit me every day!
What's more, you have already hit me. If I don't tell you, then I have been beaten in vain, right?
Thinking of this, he angrily exposed Maori Kogoro's lie: "No way! When I came back to the office after school, I saw Uncle Maori counting such a pile of money! He also asked me not to tell you, Xiaolan!"

As Conan spoke, he gestured with his hand to indicate the thickness of the money.

When Xiaolan heard this, her pretty face suddenly became stern and she said unhappily, "Dad! Didn't we agree to hand over half of it? Otherwise you'll spend it all on horse racing and drinking!"

"Damn little girl! You talk too much!" Kogoro Mouri didn't dare to be mean to his daughter. He could only glare at Conan and reluctantly took out half of the commission fee from his wallet and gave it to his daughter.

"Really? You're an adult but you still don't realize it." Xiaolan said with a hint of complaint after taking the money.

"I just forgot for a moment." Maori Kogoro said shamelessly, then he grabbed Conan's clothes, walked to the stern, and said: "Conan, elbow! Let's go to the back to discuss the case! Let's see what the code on the letter is!"

Conan didn't believe his lies and hurriedly asked Xiaolan for help: "Sister Xiaolan, save me!!"

Xiaolan was about to go up to stop Maori Kogoro's atrocities, but Shiraishi, who was watching the show, grabbed her hand and said, "It's work, Xiaolan, you should stop disturbing them."

"But this is not work!" Xiaolan is not stupid, how could she not see that her father wanted to make trouble for Conan?

"It's okay. Uncle Maori will be careful when he hits me." Shiraishi pulled Xiaolan aside and said, "Besides, beating is love and scolding is care... Don't you see that their relationship is getting better and better?"

"Getting better?" Xiaolan was a little confused. She couldn't see what was good about their relationship.

"Friendship between men is fought for. Don't you notice that the two of them are becoming less and less pretentious?" Shiraishi Hui asked back.

"This... seems to be the case." Xiaolan thought about it carefully and found that it was true.

When Conan first came, he was very polite and had a very good attitude, but now he has gradually begun to reveal his little temper.

My father was very restrained at the beginning, but now he has completely stopped pretending and his true nature is exposed.

Thinking of this, she immediately felt relieved and said, "So that's how it is! Boys' friendship is really strange."

"I thought they didn't get along... It seems that's not the case. That's great."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Conan's scream "Ah" coming from the stern of the ship.

Bai Shihui said calmly, "What are your plans when we get to Yueying Island?"

"Plan? Aren't we going to investigate with Dad and the others?" Xiaolan said in confusion.

"What's the point of going with them to investigate?" Shiraishi Hui shook her head, indicating that she had no interest in going with them.

No one knew better than him what was going to happen next.

He had no interest in "watching" the Moonlight Murders again.

He never even thought about asking Asai Narimi to give up the idea of revenge.

Revenge is a sacred and great thing in any era. Lu Xun once said that those who advise others to be magnanimous will be struck by lightning.

Shiraishi Hui felt that if this happened to her, it would not be as simple as finding a few people involved and taking revenge.

Not only will the entire family be slaughtered, but even their eggs will be shaken to pieces.

If you kill my whole family, I will kill your whole family too. That's fair!
"It's a rare opportunity to come to Moon Shadow Island. If I don't experience the local characteristics, wouldn't it be a waste of time?" Bai Shihui took out his mobile phone and said while searching for screenshots: "Here, this is the guide I made before I came here."

"There are some good restaurants on this island with high ratings. Besides, you can rent various water recreational facilities on the beach here. I plan to go and have some fun."

"I may not come here again in the future. It would be a shame if I don't have a good time."

These words touched Xiaolan's heart again, and she was immediately shaken.

She really had no interest in investigating anything.

On the contrary, it is the local specialties that can attract her more attention!
"But... Dad and the others are working, wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to go out and play?" Xiaolan still felt a little burdened.

"Believe me, your father would rather we don't disturb them at work." Bai Shihui smiled and said, "We'll know after we ask."

"Yeah." Xiaolan nodded expectantly.

The passenger ship arrived at Tsukikage Island. Shiraishi E and Xiaolan got off the ship and went to the dock. After waiting for a while, they saw Kogoro Mouri and Conan getting off the ship.

After reuniting, Shiraishi Hui said, "Uncle Maori, Xiaolan and I will not go with you to investigate... It's a rare opportunity to come to Moon Shadow Island, so we plan to take a look around here."

Xiaolan waited for her father's answer anxiously.

"What? You're not going?" Conan was surprised to hear that Shiraishi E actually wanted to kidnap Xiaolan again and date her alone?

He immediately became anxious and said, "No! Brother Bai Shi, I heard from Sister Xiaolan about the last time you solved a kidnapping case!"

"You are so smart, you have to come with us! How can we solve this case without you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Maori Kogoro became unhappy and shouted, "Kid, what nonsense are you talking about? Without Shiraishi, I can solve this case by myself!"

"You don't really think I'm just an ordinary detective, do you? To tell you the truth, I used to be a criminal police officer! Solving this case is more than enough for me!"

"Really?" Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri in surprise.

He knew that the other party used to be a criminal policeman, but he often did not do his job properly and dragged Megure Juzo to play mahjong.

Then he immediately praised: "Eh~~~ So that's how it is! Since Uncle Maori is so capable, he definitely doesn't need me anymore."

"Then I'll go play with Sister Xiaolan and the others!"

"What the hell are you thinking?" Kogoro Mouri was a vengeful person. He had not forgotten that this guy had just reported him, causing his pocket money to be reduced by half!
He grabbed Conan's arm and said with a smile: "You are my assistant. How can I solve the case without you? Elbow! Let's go to the office now to inquire for information."

"Xiao Lan, go have fun with Bai Shi! I'll call you after the case is over!"

He dragged the struggling Conan away and waved goodbye to the two of them.

"Yeah!! Dad, I wish you a smooth investigation!" Xiaolan waved goodbye to the two of them happily.

"See, I was right, wasn't I?" Shiraishi Hui smiled slightly, having expected this result.

Even if Conan wasn't there, with Maori Kogoro's face-saving personality, he would have said, "I can do it myself, there's no need for you."
