Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Shiraishi Xiu smiled slightly, but couldn't help but show a touch of melancholy on his face, his mood becoming inexplicably fluctuating.

Da Shan stared at the strange expression on Bai Shixiu's face, and his heart skipped a beat.

He assumed the new boss had some complaints about the place, or about the employees...

But then he thought it made sense; every boss wants to use their own people to manage their store, and it's impossible to let the original employees continue to manage it.

After Da Shan understood all this, he felt a little dejected and also felt sorry for the three employees behind him, who might lose their jobs.

Shiraishi Osamu recovered from his melancholy, and a smile returned to his face:

"Um, what's your name?"

"Just call me Dashan."

“Mr. Dashan, it seems you used to run this shop very well. It’s very clean. It’s really great.”

Da Shan was a little taken aback.

I wonder what the current situation is like.

It seems different from what I expected.

When he saw Shiraishi Osamu's gentle expression and calm eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief. The situation didn't seem as bad as he had imagined.

Da Shan smiled and said:

"Mr. Baishi, please rest assured, I have always been honest in my business. All the equipment in my shop is in good condition and it is very clean. It will not have any negative impact on you."

The three employees behind him watched their former boss and current boss chatting, not daring to breathe loudly, and could only listen silently.

They just wanted to stay and work; nothing else mattered. They hadn't been slacking off, and they just wanted their new boss to know their situation, otherwise it would be too unfair.

"Mr. Baishi, after you've looked through it, is there anything you're not satisfied with? You can tell us, and we can make changes."

Shiraishi Osamu smiled and said, "I'm very satisfied. If you ask for anything, there is one."

Da Shan held his breath, instinctively tensing up.

He didn't know what the requirements would be.

I just hope they don't make things too difficult for him, otherwise he'll have to find another job.

"Actually, there aren't many requirements. You just need to transfer money to me once a week. Then you can still manage the shop, everything will be the same as before. It's just like having a new boss. You just need to transfer money to me every week. Occasionally, I'll come over to check the accounts, that's all."

Da Shan was thrilled and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Boss. I will definitely work hard."

"Thank you, boss!!!" x3

The three employees behind him also bowed excitedly, their faces showing a relieved expression.

"Okay, I'm leaving now."

Shiraishi Osamu said something casually and then left.

He had originally planned to come and have breakfast.

However, considering it's a barbecue restaurant, it's quite normal that it wasn't open in the morning.

But the most important thing is that he has acquired this asset. He will receive a sum of money every week, which should be enough for him as long as no major problems arise.

Chapter 0054: Going Abroad Together

Mouri Detective Agency.

Kogoro Mori frowned as he looked at the horse racing report in his hand, studying it for a long time, unsure which number to buy; it was proving too difficult.

He's making money slowly now, so this is the only way he can manage. He hopes to earn some money to ease his family's financial situation.

And at this time—

With a gentle smile, Xiao Lan approached, holding a cup of tea, and placed it in front of her father. She put her hands behind her back and chuckled softly.

"What are you planning to do now?"

Kogoro Mouri raised an eyebrow as he looked at his daughter. This unexpected kindness clearly meant she wanted something from him; otherwise, she wouldn't be acting this way.

He knew his daughter very well, and this matter was definitely not a small one, otherwise he would have already acted first and informed her later.

Before his daughter could even speak, Kogoro Mouri picked up his teacup, took a sip, and blurted out:

"Let me tell you, I can give you money, but not too much, because I have other uses for it. I won't stop you from going out, but you can't stay overnight at other people's houses. Okay, that's about it. What else do you want to say?"

"This one..."

Xiaolan unconsciously held up two fingers, tapped them together, and said timidly with an embarrassed expression:

"Dad, I want to go to New York."

"puff"

Kogoro Mouri nearly coughed up blood. Suppressing his throbbing heart, he said irritably:

"Isn't our country enough for you to have fun? Why do you have to go abroad to have fun?"

No, that's not it.

Xiao Lan made a coquettish sound, and then used her coquettish tactics again, saying in a shrill voice:

"Aunt Yukiko invited me to visit New York, so I want to go too."

"Has Xizi?"

Kogoro Mouri frowned immediately and said uncertainly:

"I remember she was here just yesterday."

"Yes, Aunt Yukiko went back last night and just called me. Actually, there's a reason why Yukiko did that."

She really wanted Xiaolan to be her daughter-in-law, but after seeing her getting close to Shiraishi Osamu at the ski resort yesterday, she suddenly became anxious about her son.

So she came up with a solution.

She plans to create some space for her son, Shinichi Kudo, so that the two children can spend time together and solidify their relationship.

That's why we have this scene today, where Xiaolan is invited to visit New York.

Shinichi Kudo will also go along, thus creating a space for them to spend time alone together.

Of course, all of this was just Yukiko's assumption.

"Is that brat going or not?"

"Dad, you mean Shinichi? He'll definitely be going too!"

"Hehehe..."

Kogoro Mouri immediately gave a cold laugh and spoke indifferently:

"No, you can't go."

Why?

"Why are you asking me this? You can't go without my orders."

"But Aunt Yukiko has already bought my plane ticket, and I'm leaving soon."

"you……"

Kogoro Mouri was so angry he gritted his teeth, glaring at his daughter, his mustache twitching.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shiraishi Xiu walking home on the street. A brilliant idea immediately came to him. He stuck his head out the window and shouted:

"Hey kid! You wait a minute!"

Shiraishi Osamu, who was standing on the street downstairs, was taken aback. He looked around and saw Kogoro Mouri peeking out from the second floor.

Shiraishi Osamu uncertainly pointed to his nose.

"That's right, it's you, come up here."

Osamu Shiraishi lowered his hand from his nose, somewhat bewildered, but he wasn't afraid of Kogoro Mouri, and decided to go and see for himself.

When I first arrived at the Mori Detective Agency.

He then noticed that something was off about the atmosphere.

Xiao Lan with a beaming smile.

Kogoro Mouri, fuming.

"Xiu, right? Hello, hello."

Upon seeing Shiraishi Osamu, Kogoro Mori flashed a chrysanthemum-like smile, went straight up to him, grabbed his hand, and shook it vigorously.

"Uh... yes."

Osamu Shiraishi was a little unaccustomed to Kogoro Mouri's enthusiasm. He tried to pull his hand away but couldn't, and gave an awkward yet polite smile.

"Shu, I have a favor to ask of you." Kogoro Mouri didn't waste any words and said seriously, "My daughter wants to go to New York, and I'd like you to go with her. Of course, you're her friend, and I'm sure you won't refuse. But don't worry, I'll book the tickets for you. Leave everything to me."

The words fell.

A voice echoed in Shiraishi Xiu's mind—

"Ding!"

"System tasks have been refreshed."

"Please grant Kogoro Mouri's request, host."

"Reward Ability: Card Throwing Technique"

When Shiraishi Xiu heard the system issue the task, he already had the answer in his heart.

His face turned serious, and he spoke very solemnly to Kogoro Mouri:

"Mr. Mori, please rest assured, Ran and I are best friends who can talk about anything. I will definitely protect her. I will always keep her under my watchful eye and will not let anyone bully her."

The system beeped--

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission."

"Reward Ability: Card Throwing Technique"

Suddenly a memory flooded his mind, and at the same time, a warm current flowed through his body.
