Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chapter 3832: Appreciation

Yozo Hosobai didn't expect that 'Sleeping Kogoro' could even deduce this, and his face turned pale as he faced the gazes of Nakadai Hidetora and the police.

At this moment, Nakadai Hidetora received a call from Nakadai Manami.

On the phone, Manami Nakadai said that she was not kidnapped, but just went to the Oita Prefectural Art Museum with Hayami Hiroyuki. She also mentioned that she left a note for Hidetora Nakadai in the room.

After hanging up the phone, Nakadai Hidetora immediately suggested going to the art museum to pick up his daughter. He would only be completely relieved when he saw his daughter.

"But there is still a question... Where is the ransom in the bag?" Sato Miwako looked at the magazines in the yellow travel bag, then looked at Ogikubo Ryuji, "Did Ogikubo replace the ransom on the way?"

"I didn't do that!" Ogikubo Ryuji refused to take the blame. "I was driving all the way here. How could I have the time to get rid of the ransom?"

"That's right, Ogikubo didn't have time to switch the ransom. The one who actually switched the ransom was... Mr. Ehara!" Conan hid behind the torii pillar, looked at Ehara Kenichiro with sharp eyes, and said to the bow tie voice changer, "Conan had drawn a line on the ransom with a fluorescent pen before. If someone took the ransom out of the bag, there would be fluorescent ink on their palms. Mr. Ehara's hands had such fluorescent marks. On the other hand, Ogikubo's hands were clean. I think Mr. Ehara must have suddenly had evil intentions towards the money while he was delivering the ransom. When he entered the monkey park lounge, he used the magazines in the lounge to switch the ransom, right? Only at that time did Mr. Ehara leave our sight, and there were many magazines in the lounge for tourists to kill time..."

"Ehara..." Nakadai Hidetora didn't expect that besides his secretary, his promising son-in-law would also stab him in the back. For a moment, he was no longer in a hurry to pick up Nakadai Manami. He looked at Ehara Kenichiro in shock, "Why did you do this? If Manami was really kidnapped, and you don't give the ransom to the kidnappers, she will be killed by the kidnappers!"

"How rude!" Jiang Yuanjian's face was grim. "Do you have any evidence to prove what you said?"

"I've read your interview in a magazine, and it said that you pay a lot of attention to fashion," Conan said in the voice of Maori Kogoro, "but when you came to see your fiancée today, you were still wearing the clothes you wore in the magazine photo shoot. Isn't that strange? Your coat is obviously very old... and the watch worth several million that you wore during the interview was not on your wrist today. Are you short of money and have sold all your clothes? In short, why do you want to marry Miss Manami, and whether you are suitable to be Miss Manami's husband, these things will be left to Mr. Nakadai to judge for himself!"

Kenichiro Ehara looked at Nakadai Hidetora nervously, and when he saw that Nakadai Hidetora was looking at him with a frown and did not say anything to comfort him, he knew that his wish to obtain the Nakadai family's property through marriage had not been realized, and he fell to the ground powerlessly.

Soon, the police took Kenichiro Ehara, Ryuji Ogikubo, and Yozo Hosobe into the police car.

Hidetora Nakadai suddenly became a lonely man and was a little at a loss, but he did not forget his daughter. He took Kogoro Mori's car and went to the Oita Prefectural Art Museum to meet Manami Nakadai and Hiroyuki Hayami.

The father and daughter met and resolved the misunderstanding between them.

The person Manami Nakashiro has always liked is Hayami Hiroyuki, and she told this to Hosobe Yozo, but Hosobe Yozo did not tell Nakashiro Hidetora about this, and secretly withheld the letter that Hayami Hiroyuki sent to Manami Nakashiro.

Manami Nakadai mistakenly thought that Hiroyuki Hayami had abandoned her, and then, under the arrangement of her father, she became engaged to Kenichiro Ehara.

Nakadai Hidetora thought his daughter had only had a relationship with Hayami Hiroyuki, and didn't know that his daughter still liked Hayami Hiroyuki. He mistakenly thought that Hayami Hiroyuki was a bad man who abandoned his daughter and harassed her. Every time he mentioned Hayami Hiroyuki, his attitude was very dissatisfied. This made Nakadai Manami feel that her father did not approve of Hayami Hiroyuki, and she did not dare to tell her father about her feelings...

The misunderstanding was resolved. Nakadai Hidetora learned that his daughter was not threatened or kidnapped, and that she really liked Hayami Hiroyuki. He changed his attitude towards Hayami Hiroyuki. When he saw the large paper artwork based on his daughter's appearance exhibited in the art gallery, he affirmed Hayami Hiroyuki's intentions, "Hiroyuki, this artwork is really beautiful! If you can install the newly developed light bulb of our company, it will definitely emit a more beautiful glow. Do you want to try it?"

Hayami Hiroyuki was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that Nakadai Hidetora was actively expressing his goodwill, and said gratefully, "Yes, thank you for your appreciation!"

Seeing that her father accepted the person she liked, Nakadai Manami was moved and looked at Nakadai Hidetora, "Dad..."

Seeing his daughter happy, Nakadai Hidetora also laughed. In order to thank Maori Kogoro for helping to uncover the truth, he took the initiative to invite Maori Kogoro, Ike Feichi and others to eat local specialties.

During this period, the task of introducing the delicious food to Luke naturally fell to the local man, Hiroyuki Hayami.

Hayami Hiroyuki is not a very attentive and enthusiastic person, but he is sincere and polite to others, making people feel comfortable when interacting with him. During lunch, Nakadai Hidetora became more and more fond of Hayami Hiroyuki, and took the initiative to invite Hayami Hiroyuki to visit his company and help the company design a lighting product. It seems that he wants to keep Hayami Hiroyuki by his side for observation.

After dinner, Chi Feichi prepared to take the train back to Tokyo. Maori Kogoro, Maori Ran, and Conan discussed it and decided to go back to Tokyo. Together with Nakadai Hidetora, Nakadai Manami, and Hayami Hiroyuki who also wanted to return to Tokyo, a group of people took the same train and chatted on the way so that the journey would not be too boring.

"People like Mr. Nakadai are what we call 'daughter-obsessed', right?" Mao Lilan and the gentle Manami Nakadai quickly chatted together and said with a smile, "He has always been worried about you!"

"Mr. Maori is about the same, right?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki said to Maori Ran, "If Xiaolan was in danger, Mr. Maori would be so anxious!"

Mao Lilan did not deny it. She said with her half-moon eyes, "But he is usually very annoying..."

Maori Kogoro saw the daughter sitting next to him start to complain about him, and he turned his attention away speechlessly, muttering in a low voice, "They have been chattering non-stop since they got on the bus. How long are they going to chat for..."

"Children will be more energetic this way." Nakadai Hidetora said with a smile.

Chi Feichi looked at Huiyuan Ai who was sitting nearby reading a book and said, "Indeed."

Huiyuan Ai: “?”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She was just sitting there reading a magazine for a while, how could she be injured by mistake?

Maori Kogoro glanced at Conan who had returned from the bathroom and said, "It's just that some of these little ghosts are too energetic. They run around everywhere with great energy. If you're not careful, you can't see them. It's really a headache!"

Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri in confusion, sat back next to Haibara Ai, and picked up the detective novel he had left on his seat.

He just went to the bathroom and didn't provoke his uncle, right?

"Whether they are lively or quiet, children have their own lovely qualities. Sometimes they may give people a headache, but sometimes they also make people happy," Nakadai Hidetora smiled, looked at the scenery outside the car window, and couldn't help sighing, "But I really didn't expect that Jiang Yuan would be such a selfish person. If Mr. Maori hadn't exposed his true face this time, I would have married Manami to a man who didn't love her at all, who only wanted to marry her for money, and who wanted to sacrifice her at the critical moment..."

After saying this, Nakadai Hidetora adjusted his mood and said to Maori Kogoro, "Mr. Maori, thank you very much for your help! You, who also has a daughter, should understand how grateful I am at this moment!"

"Of course I can understand that," Maori Kogoro looked at Maori Ran and sighed, "As a father, you have a lovely and sensible daughter. You will definitely worry about whether she will be hurt or bullied."

The two old fathers who are obsessed with their daughters turned to look at each other, with a kind of mutual sympathy in their eyes that said "you understand me".

Chi Feichi was sitting next to her, and he also thought of how Diana married a man who didn't understand her soul and pursuits at all. He flipped through the morning paper he bought at the station, trying to ease the depression in his heart. "However, teacher, you shouldn't worry too much about Xiaolan putting her trust in the wrong person. Shinichi from the Kudo family and Xiaolan are childhood sweethearts. His parents are people you have dealt with a long time ago, and he is also a child you have watched grow up, so you know him well."

Nearby, Conan heard Chi Feichi's evaluation of him and felt very happy. He pretended to read the book seriously, but in fact he pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what Maori Kogoro thought about it.

Brother Chi is right. Uncle should know very well what kind of person he is.

He is honest and reliable, has a clean family background, and is definitely not a bad person.

If he and Xiaolan were in danger, he would sacrifice his own life to protect Xiaolan. His determination should be more or less visible to the uncle. So, when the uncle mentions Kudo Shinichi in the future, can you please not always look at him with disdain?
