The world of science is unscientific

"Where are you on duty?"

"Oh, it's a bit far. Okay, let's talk about it another time."

"I really didn't want to attend your social gathering."

"No DUI checks today? Why are you telling me this... I'm hanging up."

Putting away his phone, Yusuke Suzuki pursed his lips. It was still too obvious after all; he was guessed right away.

Fortunately, Yumi Miyamoto also gave him a heads-up.

Whether I say it or not, this is a pretty big favor.

I'll invite her to dinner another day.

After retrieving the car, Yusuke Suzuki drove directly to Professor Agasa's house.

By now, Ai Haibara should have returned by now, unless she received some kind of request with the three little ones.

However, Kogoro Mouri arranged to meet him at mealtime, so Conan would definitely be there. Based on this, it's likely that the Detective Boys don't have any activities planned for today.

As expected, Ai Haibara was at home.

Upon meeting, the little girl frowned, "You drank so much and still drove."

“I’m perfectly sober,” Yusuke Suzuki said, taking two steps back and doing a backflip. “See, I’m perfectly fine.”

Ai Haibara couldn't help but chuckle, knowing that Yusuke Suzuki wasn't the type to act recklessly, so she said nothing more and turned to go inside.

"Where's the doctor?"

"They said there's a batch of products that need repair," Ai Haibara said, bringing over a cup of tea. "Did something important happen today?"

"Filming for '5 Centimeters Per Second' has wrapped up, and I'm required to attend the banquet."

Yusuke Suzuki pulled Ai Haibara to sit down next to him. "Ai, I'll take you to see it once it's officially finished."

"Okay."

Ai Haibara didn't reveal the unease that still lingered in her heart, and smiled, "I'm actually quite looking forward to it."

"There's also an animated movie coming out, which you'll probably like too."

...

After chatting for a while, the smell of alcohol on Suzuki Yusuke dissipated considerably, and the slight dizziness in his head completely subsided.

"By the way, Mr. Mori is treating me to dinner tonight, do you want to come along?"

“If it’s a very high-end place, then forget it,” Ai Haibara looked up. “Formal clothes aren’t very comfortable to wear.”

That's it...

Yusuke Suzuki picked up his teacup and took a sip. "A three-star Michelin star shouldn't be considered very high-end, right?"

Ai Haibara: "......"

It seems that Suzuki Yusuke really wants her to go with him.

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you."

Ai Haibara thought for a moment, remembering that Yusuke Suzuki had bought her some more formal clothes before.

Speaking of which, when the two of them looked at fashion magazines together later, Suzuki Yusuke would directly pick out the ones he liked and buy them.

Under such intense pressure to shop, Ai Haibara is almost giving up her habit of reading fashion magazines.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that the unease she felt had subsided considerably.

Perhaps it's because I feel especially at ease when I'm by his side.

Ai Haibara glanced at Yusuke Suzuki's profile and couldn't resist going for it.

"what happened?"

Yusuke Suzuki was a little bewildered by this sudden reward.

"Can't I just suddenly want to kiss you?" Ai Haibara stood up and glanced at him. "I'm going to try on some clothes."

After half an hour.

Ai Haibara was exasperated. "Can you use a different word? Stop saying 'good-looking' all the time."

"Is it really that good-looking? I can't just say it's not good-looking against my conscience."

Yusuke Suzuki felt quite aggrieved.

Well... okay.

Ai Haibara finally realized that in the end, she had to make the choice herself.

Another half hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Kogoro Mouri called to tell him not to forget the appointment.

Rushing, rubbing, rubbing, what a load of rubbish.

Haven't you seen enough yet?!

But it was getting late, so Yusuke Suzuki reluctantly told Ai Haibara to quickly choose an outfit to wear.

Finally, Ai Haibara chose a princess-style evening gown, pure white with no other colors, featuring a multi-layered tulle design and rhinestones embedded in the skirt.

Yusuke Suzuki felt more and more that he couldn't just leave it at that. His wife had finally managed to put it on, so it naturally had to be even more perfect.

Without further ado, he drove to the Suzuki's house, picked out a set of Sonoko's jewelry, packed it up, and took it with him, along with a suit of his own.

He then casually drove out a Ferrari Enzo from the garage.

His Catara isn't a high-end car, so if he's going to do it, he'll go for the full package.

The roar of the engine attracted the attention of countless people on the road, and the car drove all the way to Professor Agasa's house.

"Isn't this... a bit too exaggerated?"

Ai Haibara instinctively resisted, and she said seriously, "Yusuke, would Sonoko and Uncle's dinner party turn out like this?"

"This is just a meal together, not a banquet."

Yusuke Suzuki fell silent upon hearing this.

It really is......

Kogoro Mouri invited him to dinner, and the fact that he, who is usually quite low-key, suddenly put on such a show today is bound to arouse speculation.

That was indeed a bit ill-considered.

Yusuke Suzuki tossed the jewelry into the car and said, "Let's take a taxi."

"Ok!"

Ai Haibara gave him a sweet smile.

This time, Kogoro Mouri and his group weren't late; they arrived at the restaurant around the same time as Yusuke Suzuki and his companion.

"so beautiful!"

As soon as Ran Mouri saw Ai Haibara, she rushed over, sighing deeply.

"Sister Xiaolan, you are beautiful too."

Ai Haibara blushed slightly, but couldn't refuse.

After all, the relationship is already very good, so it wouldn't be appropriate to continue with the old attitude.

"Yusuke, you really are a handsome young man when you dress up properly."

"Teacher, I'm the same even without dressing up."

Yusuke Suzuki looked down at Conan. "Am I right?"

"Yes...of course!" Conan nodded hastily.

The bumbling detective led the way into the restaurant. The reserved table wasn't great; it was somewhere in the middle.

However, since it's a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, it's already quite an achievement to be able to book a table.

After taking his seat, Kogoro Mouri couldn't wait to start ordering.

While waiting for the food, Suzuki Yusuke asked, "Teacher, have you received the commission fee yet?"

“Of course not yet,” the bumbling detective said, his face beaming with joy. “But completing the mission is practically a done deal, so it’s perfectly fine to spend the money ahead of time.”

Yusuke Suzuki: "..."

Oh no, is he going to have to pay off Kogoro Mouri's debts?

It's unlikely; Eri Kisaki won't abandon them.

Besides, even if he really helps, it's nothing. Ten million is just a small matter. It's just that Kogoro Mouri might not be willing to take it.

Chapter 346 Conversation with the Doctor

"A commission fee? What commission fee?"

Ran Mouri was completely bewildered when she heard their conversation.

Good grief, so Kogoro Mouri didn't tell Ran at all?

That's true, otherwise Ran Mouri would never have let him come out like this and spend the money he hadn't even received yet.

Realizing he had let something slip, the bumbling detective adopted a confident and determined demeanor.

"Don't worry, it's just a very simple case with a high cost," Kogoro Mouri explained. "A wealthy lady came to me with a request, saying that someone seems to want her husband dead, and that person is in her house."

He held up his index finger. "If you can find that person, pay me ten million. I've already received the contract and the 50 deposit."

Conan and Ran Mouri were both quite surprised.

Is there really such a good thing?

Just then, the waiter brought over the dishes.

Yusuke Suzuki urged Ai Haibara to eat quickly, as this might be the only feast she would ever have from Kogoro Mouri.

The main selling point of Michelin three-star restaurants is their small portions and high prices.
