I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

The person was holding an umbrella and said she was waiting for someone outside Teitan Elementary School.

After seeing that Ran Mouri was going home without an umbrella, he gave her his own umbrella. Ran even asked him where he lived and where she was going to return the umbrella.

However, that person said that it didn't need to be returned.

She then said that she would go abroad to pursue her dreams, and that she wanted to become an internationally renowned designer and start her own company. If she succeeded in her business, she would use the ginkgo tree as her brand symbol.

When Xiaolan appears in the Ginkgo Tree brand, buying her a new product would be a thoughtful gesture.

Ran Mouri remembered their promise, so she came to buy bags with Sonoko and Eri Kisaki today.

Conan didn't want to come at first, but after thinking about it, he figured it was better to accompany Ran Mouri to queue up for bags than to go to the horse racing track with Kogoro Mouri.

Sitting in a horse racing betting booth all day long is basically like keeping a child up all day.

At least he has food to eat if he stays with Xiaolan, right?

"Sonoko-neechan, when you go to buy hamburgers later, remember to bring me two too."

"I want another Coke!"

Conan shamelessly pretends to be a child to fool his childhood friend.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but ask a question mark.

Sonoko Suzuki: ?

You wicked little devil in the blue suit, I'll personally take care of you...

In the end, she just said it in a rather irritable tone.

"That's enough. Come with me. You can choose whatever you want to eat."

As soon as Sonoko Suzuki finished speaking, she gave Conan's head a good ruffled ruffle.

After kneading the Elementary School Girl of Death until she was completely disoriented, she looked up at Ran Mouri and Eri Kisaki and asked.

"Xiaolan, Auntie, what would you like to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri was about to say that she had no appetite for the time being.

Then, after noticing Eri's gaze beside him, he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I'm just like you, Sonoko."

"Mom, what about you?"

Eri Kisaki shook her head in response.

"I don't care, either way is fine."

Don't ask, the answer is simply that being a professional woman means not being picky about food.

After Eri and Ran gave their answers, Sonoko Suzuki led Conan toward a nearby fast food restaurant, intending to get a dozen or so hamburgers to tide them over.

After Sonoko Suzuki and Conan left, Eri Kisaki asked the question.

"Xiaolan, why did you suddenly decide to buy a bag?"

"Has that lecherous old man with the mustache been giving you so much pocket money lately?"

Upon hearing this, several people in line before and after Eri Kisaki, who were also waiting to buy bags, turned to look at her, their faces filled with eager anticipation.

The main problem is that queuing is really boring.

Nowadays, everyone uses keypad phones, and even the old-fashioned mobile phones are in high demand.

Cell phones are mostly used for sending messages and making calls; they're not really used for entertainment. Queuing is just a chore, and anything interesting will attract their attention.

Especially since this is such an explosive piece of gossip.

A cute high school girl, a lecherous old man with a mustache, and pocket money?

Could this be...?

Noticing that everyone's gazes were a bit off, Ran Mouri quickly said something.

"Mom, Dad isn't that bad. Don't keep calling him that."

Although sometimes Kogoro Mouri would say that Eri Kisaki is an old woman.

Upon hearing this, the people in front and behind turned back, losing interest.

It turns out to be just complaints between divorced couples. I thought it was something interesting, but it's nothing. I've seen this a lot back in the 3K era. This is nothing.

We're all people who came from the decadent bubble era; we've seen it all.

"The main reason is that Dad took on a commission this time."

"The client was very generous with the commission, giving me ten million yen in one go. So Dad decided to treat himself and Mom to a nice new bag so we could enjoy ourselves!"

Ran Mouri gave a serious explanation.

When faced with Ran Mouri's explanation, Eri Kisaki only believed the punctuation marks.

Besides that, she didn't believe it at all.

If Kogoro Mouri could do something like that, I'd tear down the sign of Kisaki Law Firm tomorrow!

When the generous client was mentioned, Eri Kisaki couldn't help but frown.

"Fujieda Mikio? It's him again?"

"Didn't I tell you that Fujieda Mikio isn't a good person, and that I told you not to take his cases? 10 million yen, that guy really knows how to write checks..."

Seeing the situation suddenly freeze again, Ran Mouri quickly explained.

"No, no! It's...it's..."

She remembered another commission her father had taken on, and then whispered.

"It's a program commissioned by a TV station today."

"Dad was an invited guest, and this is the advance payment..."

Fei Yingli:?

Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?

Chapter 1039 Two Old Classmates Who Are Still Nostalgic

"...I'll tentatively believe one thing."

"Xiao Lan, you said that guy is going to participate in a TV program, what kind of program is it?"

Although Eri Kisaki didn't believe it, she still decided to ask for details.

Although Xiaolan might be trying to fool her, it's unlikely that she would fabricate a TV program out of thin air; perhaps it actually happened.

Hearing this, Ran Mouri said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I'm not too sure about that either."

“My dad received a phone call this morning asking him to participate in a program shoot at the perimeter of a TV station in Tokyo tonight, but he didn’t tell me the specific name.”

"But I remember it was a very popular detective and mystery show."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have specifically asked Dad to do the opening remarks."

Is it the detective reasoning show that's been popular lately?

At this point, a hint of surprise appeared in Eri Kisaki's eyes.

Although Ran Mouri didn't reveal the specific name of the detective mystery show, Eri Kisaki already had an answer in her mind. She murmured something, but ultimately said nothing more.

He simply pointed to Sonoko Suzuki and Conan, who were turning back in this direction, and said...

"Don't mention that, Ran. Sonoko and the others have already brought back food."

"Let's eat first."

Ran Mouri, unsuspecting, nodded.

Sonoko Suzuki, who had just returned, was quite curious about the conversation between Ran and Eri.

She raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Xiaolan, what were you and Aunt Fei talking about just now? You seemed so happy."

Ran Mouri, Eri Kisaki: ?

Where does he look happy?

Although somewhat confused, Ran Mouri still explained.

"My mom and I were talking about the job Dad got today."

Really? It doesn't seem like it to me.

Conan, who was equally curious, thought to himself.

He felt that Ran Mouri was deliberately linking the 10 million yen to the TV station's commission that she received that morning, trying to improve Kogoro Mouri's image in Eri Kisaki's eyes.

However, such an attempt is destined to be futile.

Although Kogoro Mouri is a nationally renowned detective, his fame is not so great that he can earn tens of millions of yen just by making an appearance and giving an opening speech.

By saying that, she might be giving Kogoro Mouri too much credit.

However, despite his inner grumbling, Conan's emotional intelligence wasn't so low that he would say it out loud.

"A commission? What commission?"

"Speaking of which, it seems like Uncle Mori is getting fewer and fewer requests lately. Is that just my imagination?"

Sonoko Suzuki stroked her chin and asked with some curiosity.

Although it sounds a bit absurd, it's not entirely wrong. After all, many of the cases Kogoro Mouri receives involve murderers trying to frame him for their crimes.

However, Chen En was like a ghost every night, wandering around various parts of Tokyo.

As a result, Kogoro Mouri received fewer and fewer such requests, and instead only received small requests to find lost cats and dogs. Although the total number of requests did not decrease, the quality of these requests was much worse.
