Such noise naturally could not escape Xiaolan's ears.

When Xiaolan suddenly opened the window on the second floor, she saw the tall and familiar figure below.

He relaxed a little and asked loudly.

"Odou-san! What happened?!"

Roddy's frozen body suddenly returned to normal. He scratched his head and used an exaggerated expression to cover up his embarrassment: "Nothing...Nothing."

Xiaolan should not be able to see the knocked-over trash can from the second-floor window, but out of suspicion of her stupid old father, Xiaolan narrowed her eyes and confirmed again suspiciously.

"Nothing really happened?"

"No! Absolutely not."

Roddy didn't know what was going on. It might be because Kogoro Mouri felt indebted to his daughter Xiaolan, or it might be because of Xiaolan's outstanding fighting skills.

Anyway, he is like a mouse seeing a cat in front of Xiaolan, ahem, this is a bit exaggerated.

But once Roddy is caught drinking by Xiaolan, he is bound to be lectured.

Really...who is the father and who is the daughter?

..

Faced with the decline of his family, Rody has not yet found any suitable solution.

It’s all because of Kogoro Mouri’s poor acting skills, which causes even the movie star to be often suspected by Xiaolan.

At this time, Xiaolan put her hands on her hips. She was already in a bad mood, and she became even more unhappy when she saw the slightly messy clothes on her stupid father.

A murderous aura gradually spread.

He questioned with narrowed eyes.

"Dad, you didn't go out drinking again, did you? Otherwise, why would you come back so late?"

That’s right, in Xiaolan’s subconscious thinking, Maori Roddy must have gone to that small bar to drink again.

Of course, the facts are similar to what Xiaolan guessed, so there is no need to guess.

But fortunately, the trash can incident was covered up, and Roddy didn't want to hide it anyway.

Seeing Xiaolan's cute look of anger with her hands on her hips, Rody's fatherly love reappeared in his heart, but he suppressed it.

Movie emperor-level acting begins!

...

“Although I did go to the bar today, but…”

Roddy pretended to be a decadent uncle, looking up at Xiaolan by the window, his eyes revealing three parts of indescribable feelings, three parts of frustration, and four parts of helplessness.

Seeing her old father's expression different from usual, Xiaolan, who was originally angry at Kogoro and Rody's alcoholism, was a little at a loss.

I don’t know what happened to my dad.

"...Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaolan couldn't help but care.

"Nothing, but when I thought about you, Xiaolan, now that you have grown up and are about to embrace a new life, while I am still like this... hehe, I couldn't help but drink two more glasses."

Rody looked at Xiaolan sincerely and said with a hint of bitterness.

At this moment, it seems like that song is ringing in my ears!

'Always asking for things from you but never saying thank you~'

...

"Time, please slow down a little bit~"

'Don't let you get any older!'

"I would give everything I have in exchange for your staying forever."

"Be strong in your life..."

...

Maybe Xiaolan also felt the sadness that her old father felt as if he had to watch his daughter, whom he had raised, get married and go to another boy's home.

The originally angry cheeks slowly softened. Xiaolan is such a considerate little angel.

Gently comforted Kogoro Rody.

"What are you talking about, Dad? You're fine now. Come up quickly."

yes!

When Roddy heard Xiaolan's soft words, he lowered his head and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

I couldn't help laughing in my heart.

Guaguagua!

As expected of the actor Roddy, he showed perfect acting skills and successfully got through the hurdle of being drunk.

It is a loss for the entire Neon entertainment industry that there is no more movie star like him.

...

Wait until you get to the second floor.

I opened the door, but didn't smell the usual delicious food.

Roddy was a little disappointed and looked downcast.

"Why... didn't you cook?"

"Hey! I just got back a while ago. Besides, can't Dad eat something outside first?"

The sadness and reluctance just now seemed like an illusion.

Xiaolan watched helplessly as her father went up the stairs and turned back into the heartless and unreliable person he used to be.

As he was furious, he recalled what Rody had said.

In the future... will she be with Shinichi, get married, have children, and finally leave this home to start a new life?

The original anger was immediately dispelled by a slight reluctance and sadness.

...

She...is also reluctant to leave Oudou-san.

Then...what will happen if Ou Dou is left alone?

He is alone and doesn't know how to do housework or cook.

As Xiaolan was thinking about it, an excellent idea flashed through her mind.

'In this case, I'd better find a chance to reconcile Mom and Dad as soon as possible, so that Dad won't have to worry about me leaving and being lonely and unable to take care of himself!'

If Roddy could hear Xiaolan's thoughts, he would definitely give himself a slap in the face and sigh to the sky that girls are really not easy to deal with when they grow up.

Wow, this is the way to solve the problem?

You shouldn't think about not getting married in the future and always being with your old father.

cough cough...

Other Rodys in the heavens strongly condemned this immoral and selfish idea.

But seriously, if Xiaolan was with Kudo Washing Machine, a guy who is an idiot in everything except solving cases.

You have to take care of his daily life every day, worry about him getting into danger, and take care of the entire family.

Then Maori Roddy would never let the two of them be together.

Even if...

Even if I get rid of the washing machine, I will never watch Xiaolan's marriage become unhappy.

...

Just as both father and daughter made up their minds.

"Aqiu!"

A very obvious child's voice came from behind the sofa.

Hearing this voice, Rody suddenly remembered that the washing machine seemed to have turned into Conan.

Moreover, according to the plot, I will live in his house from today on.

Do I need to get rid of the washing machine?

Wouldn't it be better if Conan could never change back? He could then be immortal.

Rody didn't stop thinking, but narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "Are there guests at home?"

Xiaolan was thinking about how to make her parents reconcile. She nodded subconsciously when she heard this: "Oh, that's right. It's Professor Agasa. It's his relative's child. Please let me take care of him."

As she spoke, Xiaolan remembered the forgotten Conan, walked behind the sofa, pulled Conan out, and enthusiastically introduced the washing machine to him.

"Conan~ This is my Odo-san, the great detective you wish to be~"

...

No matter what others think, in Xiaolan's heart, Kogoro Mouri will always be the best detective.

Maybe Dad isn’t as good at solving cases as Shinichi, but he’s still among the best detectives.

It’s a pity that Conan didn’t seem to agree with this statement, and a disdainful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth subconsciously.

I was about to retort, but then I remembered that I was just a child, so I held back my words.

Roddy narrowed his eyes and looked at the little boy in an old-fashioned dark blue suit who was standing next to Xiaolan and was not even as tall as her knees. He was scratching his head and grinning.

Conan, who was still a little panicked, saw Rody's sharp eyes and suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Damn... Could it be that Uncle Maori figured out something?"

Conan is not as arrogant as he will be in the future and does not dare to run around everywhere. Conan, who just turned back into a child, is still a little afraid.

After discussing with Professor Agasa, I plan to live in Xiaolan's house, but I have to hide my identity.
