Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 132 He's practically a superman!
“So Ms. Tomoko wants to learn about Mr. Kyogoku through us!” Conan nodded knowingly, then looked at Suzuki Tomoko and shook his head, saying, “It’s just a pity that we’ve only met Mr. Kyogoku once.”

After a slight pause, Conan continued, "However, I think Mr. Kyogoku is a mature, steady, and rather traditional person."

"I see!" Tomoko Suzuki said expressionlessly, but her tone made it clear that her opinion of Makoto Kyogoku had dropped. After all, the Suzuki family wanted a son-in-law who would live with them, and in Tomoko's view, traditional people would find it difficult to accept marrying into the family.

Hearing Suzuki Tomoko's words, Ai frowned, shook her head, and said calmly, "I'm sorry! Although I'm not familiar with Kyogoku Makoto, I think it would be better to meet him directly."

"Just like you said before, Ms. Tomoko, other people's opinions are not important. After all, it's hard for them to influence the Suzuki Group no matter what they think. What's really important is the opinion of you Sonoko's family."

Upon hearing this, Tomoko Suzuki remained silent, simply nodding before turning her gaze to Teruyuki, awaiting his opinion on Makoto Kyogoku.

Looking at Suzuki Tomoko's performance, Ai sighed inwardly, recalling the first time she met Keisuke's parents and thinking about how the people around Keisuke viewed her, and couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.

If even one member of Huijie's family had objected, she might have chosen to stay where she was forever, and unless there had been a major turning point, she would probably have remained in the shadows forever.

Fortunately, Huijie's family members are a very open-minded group of people. When facing her, they all had a positive attitude and led her to a bright future, making her feel the beauty of life.

Thinking of this, Ai couldn't help but look at Keisuke, her eyes filled with happiness and tenderness.

Seeing Ai's eyes, Keisuke immediately understood that Ai was overthinking things because of the scene, and was probably thinking about another possible ending for them.

But if you think about it a little more, you'll realize that Ai and Kyogoku Makoto's situations are completely different.

After all, in the Suzuki family's eyes, Kyogoku Makoto was just a poor, blond-haired kid who came from who-knows-where and wanted to steal their only remaining cabbage;

Ai Haibara herself is the one who got the short end of the stick, but because she is not in a normal state, she always feels like she is the one who owes something.

Faced with this situation, Huijie was powerless, after all, his body was indeed that of a child, and as long as the situation between the two sides was unequal, Ai would blame herself for the problem.

Therefore, while enjoying Ai's care, Teru could only distract Ai's mind in other ways, so that she wouldn't have time to worry about such things on her own.

Looking at Ai, under Tomoko Suzuki's gaze, although Keisuke wanted to say that Kyogoku was a heartless ingrate who repaid his benefactor with a cruel training program, since Ai wanted to see beautiful love, Keisuke decided to tell the truth for Ai's sake.

"He's practically a superman!" After a moment's thought, Huijie opened his eyes and voiced his stereotype of Kyogoku Makoto.

"Huh?" Upon hearing Huijie's words, the people present were all stunned for a moment. They did not expect Huijie to say such a thing during what seemed like a serious recollection.

The surprise wasn't limited to those present; a strange noise also came from outside the door.

Tomoko Suzuki sighed. Even though she hadn't seen the person outside the door yet, she already guessed who was so bold as to eavesdrop while she was entertaining guests.

"Sonoko, since you're here, come and sit down!"

"Hehe!" Sonoko suddenly peeked out from the doorway, laughing as she pushed it open and entered the room. After looking around, she sat between Keisuke and Ai, playfully hugging the two who had just spoken up for her. Seeing Sonoko's natural actions, Tomoko's eyelids twitched involuntarily. If she hadn't had no other choice, she really wouldn't want to admit that this rude girl was her daughter.

"Speaking of which, didn't I ask you to entertain Xiaolan and the others? How exactly did you entertain them?!"

"Ah, this? Don't worry!" Sonoko waved her hand confidently, smiled and said, "Ran asked me to help find some space for Uncle and Aunt to spend time together, so I gave her an idea to go and chat with Dad for a while. So, to avoid disturbing them, I came to check on the situation."

Tomoko Suzuki stared at Sonoko for a while, her eyes narrowing, and said with a hint of danger, "So you put a pair of guests who don't get along well together, and even had Ran act as your mediator?"

"Ha, haha..." Sonoko laughed awkwardly, looked around for a while, then fixed her gaze on Keisuke, looking at him with pleading eyes and saying, "By the way, Keisuke, why did you say that A-zhen is a superman?"

Before Teruyuki could even speak, Tomoko Suzuki slammed her hand on the table, unable to contain herself any longer, and shouted angrily, "Sonoko Suzuki! Don't try to change the subject!"

However, she didn't notice that Sonoko hadn't closed the door properly when she entered.

……

Meanwhile, in the Suzuki family's living room.

After Sonoko brought Eri Kisaki to the tea room where Kogoro Mouri was, she casually pulled Shiro Suzuki, who was talking to Kogoro Mouri, out as well.

Outside the tea room, Ran was talking to Shiro Suzuki. The two slowly walked into the living room, and the topic of their conversation was Makoto Kyogoku.

As Ran was Sonoko's childhood friend, Shiro Suzuki naturally knew about Ran's karate skills.
Suzuki Shiro, who usually enjoys watching fighting shows, learns from Ran that Kyogoku Makoto is even more skilled than her, with a 400-game winning streak and an undefeated record, and is known as the "Kicking Prince." He immediately develops a liking for him.

Under Ran's persuasive words, even though he hadn't met Makoto Kyogoku in person, Shiro Suzuki chose to trust Ran's judgment and decided that as long as Sonoko truly liked him, he could accept him as his son-in-law.

Of course, he still has to get past Suzuki Tomoko's hurdle himself.

Just then, the two heard a sound of something being slammed on the table. Ran and Shiro Suzuki rushed over and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

……

Meanwhile, in the tea room.

Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki were still in the tea room, quietly drinking tea so as not to lose face in front of Sonoko's parents.

Sensing the silence around them, both were wondering, where did Suzuki Shiro/Sonoko go?
Did something suddenly happen? If so, they shouldn't have gone back without even saying anything.
