He's in Detective Conan, and he's the mastermind behind everything.

Ying Sheng continued, "If we want Mr. Mori to correct these problems one by one, he must exert his own motivation. It is difficult for others to persuade him. After all, you and Attorney Ki are examples of what can happen. This is undoubtedly very difficult."

seriously.

Instead of painstakingly correcting Mr. Mori's flaws, it would be better to find the qualities in him that Ms. Kisaki would like, and then use those qualities to find her a more suitable partner. It would be convenient, quick, and a permanent solution.

"........."

Xiaolan suddenly realized that she seemed to be in a very strange state of mind. Normally, if someone talked about her parents so casually, she would definitely get angry, no matter how good-natured she was.

But when faced with Hotaru...

Yes, as expected, this guy is just too meticulous.

Discard all useless emotions and weigh the pros and cons entirely from a rational perspective.

She had previously told Sonoko that Mizuki-kun seemed heartless, but in other ways, he felt very reliable.

But it's still a bit strange to talk about finding a new boyfriend for her mother like this...

Xiaolan said weakly, "If possible, I still want to try to save my dad first."

Ying Sheng shrugged: "Then here's the problem: what if Mr. Mori thinks his current life is happy? If he were to make changes, it would contradict your original goal."

Initial goal:

May they both find happiness.

Xiaolan froze again, but this time she rolled her eyes in less than a second:

“Mr. Shuiyue, are you trying to lecture me on philosophy? I don’t understand that. Besides,” Xiaolan gritted her teeth, “even if he’s content with the current situation, that unhealthy lifestyle still needs to change!”

"why?"

"Mizuki-kun said it before, don't overthink things. If I had to find a reason... well, it's just that I think he was terrible in the past, and I want to get revenge on him."

"OK!"

Chapter 88 Kogoro Mouri's Rescue Plan

"The older people get, the more rigid their thinking becomes; this is determined by neuroscience."

Ying Sheng said, "When Mr. Mori's thinking was more malleable more than ten years ago, and he was also guided by his passionate love affair with Attorney Kisaki, he did not make any changes and let it develop to the present. Especially after experiencing ten years of decay, he is undoubtedly terminally ill."

To change him, we need not only strong medicine, but also radical treatment.

Xiaolan, how about you hearing about electroconvulsive therapy?

Let's just send Mr. Mori to a rehabilitation center!

"..."

Xiaolan covered her face helplessly: "I've discovered that Shuiyue-kun really harbors a lot of malice towards my dad."

Ying Sheng shrugged: "Who told him to go so far? You and Attorney Fei together, he almost ruined two people, and he was completely unaware of it and showed no remorse."

Considering all those shortcomings, Mr. Mori's image in my mind is now synonymous with a slug. You are more inclined to side with him than with Attorney Kisaki. Attorney Kisaki's act of helping Mr. Mori when he couldn't afford bail was more out of pity for him.

Oh my god, this poor guy, he won't survive without my help.

That's all. "

"..."

Xiao Lan was speechless again. She stood up, put her palms together, and bowed... Oh, where is he?

"Back to business."

Ying Sheng had already sat down behind Xiao Lan: "Let's solve Mr. Mori's problems one by one. First, the simplest one: his slovenly lifestyle."

This issue can actually be resolved along with the fact that Attorney Fei needs to do housework and doesn't cook well. It's super simple: just hire a nanny. If one isn't enough, hire two or three.

Honestly, when all the chores like laundry, cooking, and mopping are outsourced, you'll find that everything is incredibly simple and straightforward—that's real life.

Given Attorney Fei's financial resources, affording this wouldn't be difficult, provided, of course, she's willing to return to the Mori family.

Xiaolan sighed, "Isn't this too extravagant?"

"Not really."

Ying Sheng said, "Without those trivial entanglements, people's energy and even creativity will be enhanced."

Attorney Kiss and Mr. Mori can focus more on their careers, and even disregarding the emotional value, the economic value generated is far greater than hiring a nanny.

A very simple example is Suzuki.

Does she have significantly more free time than you each day, and is she generally more positive and optimistic?

Ying Sheng was quite familiar with the power of money; even if it wasn't omnipotent, it could solve 99% of the troubles in life.

Otherwise, why would he always ask for more money?

I just wanted to save myself the trouble.

After listening to Ying Sheng's words, Xiao Lan nodded weakly.

She actually felt fine, since she was used to it, but that was the objective fact, and she couldn't lie through her teeth.

Although Sonoko never showed this in front of her, she could actually sense the difference.

Let's take the simplest example.

Makeup, designer brands, fashion, and movie stars—topics that should be common among high school girls—didn't come up much in her conversations with Sonoko.

The reason is simple: Sonoko knows, but she doesn't understand.

The things she didn't know much about, like Fusae, were things Sonoko would occasionally drag her out shopping despite her desire to rush home to cook...

It turned out to be the case.

Does Sonoko want her to not be completely locked up at home and to be able to experience the outside world?

Xiaolan pursed her lips tightly, realizing that she had always been grateful for Sonoko's care.

And if we follow this line of thought...

Ran suddenly realized why Sonoko always brought up Shinichi whenever they were together.

Could it be that she has difficulty finding other topics to talk about, and this is the only one that is least likely to go wrong?

Pathetic.

If she can't make changes soon, even if Sonoko is more accommodating, if the gap is too big, the two will still drift further apart. She doesn't want to lose her best friend status.

They said they would be best friends for life!

Although he didn't know what Xiaolan was thinking, seeing her eyes become even more determined, Ying Sheng still smiled:

"Go on, Mr. Mori, next question."

They don't care about their family members.

This is actually a false proposition. Judging from his shooting of Attorney Fei, he was indeed concerned, but he was a bit stubborn and not good at expressing himself.

It seems the prevailing attitude here is to value a man's restraint, which can have a certain allure at times, but to the extent he goes, it's just sick.

I suggested he see a psychologist.

Xiaolan shook her head: "Dad will definitely not go."

“Yes, but isn’t he lying in the hospital with a broken leg?” Ying Sheng laughed. “I plan to find a psychologist to treat him at his bedside, so he can’t run away.”

"..."

Xiaolan expressed her doubts: "Can people really accept this kind of forced preaching?"

"Whether he can accept it or not, as long as those principles enter his mind, they will automatically pop up at crucial moments. Just like mathematics, many people hate it when they are studying it, but when they encounter it in life, they will still think of it first."

Xiao Lan nodded thoughtfully.

Shuiyue-kun is amazing!

Without hesitation, Ying Sheng took out his phone, searched for a psychologist, made a phone call, and transferred money—all in one go, in less than five minutes, leaving Xiao Lan completely stunned.

Seeing Ying Sheng put away his phone, Xiao Lan opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped in time:

"My money comes from thin air, no need to worry about it. But if you really feel bad about it... um, I'd like to ask you for a favor tonight, something involving force, is that alright?"

Xiaolan nodded immediately, a hint of eagerness even appearing in her eyes: "Is it the same type as last time?"

Ying Sheng sighed softly: "Pretty much. It was some gambling addicts. They teamed up last night to swindle someone out of everything. Just like last time, we'll find the evidence and hand it over to the police. You probably saw how it ended in the newspapers last time, right?"

"I've seen it; it's a resounding victory for the police."

Xiao Lan sighed: "But it seems we left too early. Other gangs went there to pick up the scraps, and there were deaths. It seems we were also misunderstood as one of them."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We can stay a little later this time." Seeing Xiaolan nod, Yingsheng continued:

"Mr. Mori's next problem is his lack of ambition."

Unless he's the type who's naturally easygoing, that's just a superficial explanation. The real reason is that he can't see the future, so of course he lacks motivation.

You said he would complain that Kudo was a scab, which caused him to have no business. So that's probably the reason. In the way of detective work, he was completely crushed.

Logically speaking, I would suggest that he become Kudo's apprentice and become his detective assistant.

There's always something to learn.

Chapter 89 The Mori Family's Little Sweetheart Turns Black-Hearted!

Even without Ran's denial, Hotaru knew that Kogoro Mouri would never agree to this suggestion.

After all, he has the flaw of arrogance and would never be able to bring himself to become a disciple of a junior.

"So, let him change careers."

Ying Sheng suggested, "Inspector Megure said that Mr. Mori's marksmanship is first-rate. Since he has no talent in the detective field, why not switch careers and become a shooting instructor? He has been a policeman for many years, and he might even be able to be hired by the police."

Xiaolan stared wide-eyed in surprise; every word Yingsheng said was beyond her expectations.

However, from a rational analysis perspective, they are all indeed reasonable.
