Chapter 15
After returning home from Xia Ri, I slept until the afternoon before I was suddenly woken up by a phone ring.
"Hey, who?" Xia Ri asked in a sleepy voice, with a hoarse voice on the phone.
"Brother Xia Ri, it's me, Xiaolan." Xiaolan's vibrant and crisp voice came from the other side of the phone, "Didn't you get up yet? Get up quickly, my dad asked you to come to my house for dinner."
"Eat?" Xia Ri touched her shriveled belly, stretched her waist, and instantly woke up a lot, "I know, wait for me, I'll go over immediately!"
I took a look at the time and it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. After returning home in the early morning of this morning, Summer almost fell asleep immediately.
There was no way, I had to work hard all night, and I solved the case and fought with the kidnappers. It was so tiring.
I washed up briefly, changed into clean clothes in summer, went downstairs, walked through the not-so-wide street, and came to Maori Detective Office.
When I opened the door, I found that the food was on the dining table in the summer. Kogoro, Xiaolan and Conan sat around, waiting for me.
"Sorry, I'm late." Xia Ri said apologetically.
"It's not too late. Brother Xia, you're here at the right time. There is a dish stewed in the pot and it's about to come out of the pot." Xiaolan smiled.
When Kogoro heard this, he curled his lips aside.
"Hey, Xiaolan! You obviously complained about why I haven't gotten up yet when you asked me to get up just now. Why did you come here? Not only did you not blame him, but you said that he was just right? Are you too partial to you!?"
"No." Xiaolan's face turned slightly red and she explained toughly, "Brother Xia Ri drove and worked hard yesterday. It's okay to get up a little later than you."
Xia Ri smiled and cooperated with her unwillingness to be outdone: "How can I compete with my uncle? You are now middle-aged and you can't fall asleep even if you want to."
"You little brat!!"
Kogoro's fists were hard to beat four hands, and he suffered a loss, but he couldn't say that they could only grab the newspaper beside him and ignored them angrily.
Xia Ri came to the dining table and sat in the empty seat next to Xiaolan. His eyes first glanced gently on the dining table, and then fell on Conan opposite him.
Most of the food on this table today is seafood, which is even more hearty than before. It can be seen that Xiaolan really put her heart into it.
"Xiaolan, speaking of this child, why should I temporarily stay in your house?"
"I heard from Dr. Agasa that because Conan's parents were hospitalized in a car accident, his parents asked Dr. Agasa to take care of him, but Dr. Agasa has no experience in taking care of the children, so he asked me again."
"That's how..."
Xia Ri stared at Conan and looked at him for a long time, making him feel uncomfortable and his hair stand up.
Alas, this naughty child will stay here in the future. I really don’t know how much Kogoro and Xiaolan will worry about him.
"That... Brother Xia Ri... Is there anything on my face..." Conan asked carefully.
"Oh? Oh, no, I'm just thinking about something else, I'm just a little confused." Xia Ri smiled and looked away from Conan's face.
Conan:...
After the last dish was served on the table, Kogoro took out the wine glass again and planned to have a few more glasses with Summer, but as soon as the wine glass was placed on the table, Xiaolan quickly put it away.
"Really, Dad, don't drink during the day, and don't take care of Brother Xia."
"What's wrong with drinking some wine?" Kogoro glared at his daughter dissatisfied, "I solved such a big case yesterday and made so many good dishes today. What's the point of celebrating with a few drinks!"
Kogoro was still sarcastic at first, but under Xiaolan's stern gaze, he soon disappeared.
"Uncle Kogoro, if you want to drink, I'll drink with you at night. Let's forget it during the day."
Still drinking? Xia Ri also smiled bitterly. He was not as greedy as Kogoro. He had no alcohol in every meal. For him, wine was just a drink that increased the atmosphere and was dispensable. If you can not drink it, try not to touch it in summer.
Since Xia Ri had already said that, although Kogoro was unwilling to accept it, he could only sigh.
"Okay... Then let's drink it again tonight...ah...eat and eat!"
In short, it has been nearly twenty hours since summer, and now he is already hungry and puts his chest on his back. After he starts to move, he ate several bowls of rice, which really scares Kogoro and the others.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you!" Looking at the summer's big mouthful of food and eating, Kogoro was dumbfounded. He really felt that he was no longer young.
"Do you know if you want to chew carefully and swallow slowly? Chew carefully and swallow slowly!!"
"If you continue to eat like this, your stomach will definitely get into problems in the future!"
"Hey! Have you heard me speak??"
Several people were having dinner while chatting, and unknown comedy movies were played on the TV. For a moment, the room was filled with joy and laughter.
After Kogoro was full, he leaned back and leaned lazily on the chair, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, summer day, I think you are very talented in solving cases. How about you? Should you be a real detective?"
"Be a real detective?" Xia Ri was stunned. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she hurriedly shook her head, "Forget it, although it is fun to solve the case, I still want to walk on the road of art."
"What kind of artistic path is not just painting..." Kogoro snorted coldly.
"Haha... Everyone has their own ambitions!" Xia Ri shrugged.
At this time, Xiaolan picked up the remote control and changed the channel. The TV screen changed, and a boy who looked like a high school student appeared on the screen.
"Huh? Isn't this Shinichi?" Xiaolan said in surprise.
Shinichi? Is that childhood sweetheart from Xiaolan?
Xia Ri looked at the TV curiously and saw a news review of the day before yesterday being played in the TV screen. Next to the beautiful female host, a huge photo of Kudo Shinichi appeared on it.
In the photo, Kudo Shinichi looks confident and is indeed very handsome. No wonder Xiaolan likes him.
Xia Ri looked at the title above the screen, which read: The savior of the Japanese police!!! The high school detective solved the case again! He is Shinichi Kudo!
High school student detective? Savior!?
Xia Ri touched her chin, but I never thought that Shinichi Kudo looked so pretty, and he was actually a celebrity.
"This brat actually went on TV!" Kogoro slapped the table with a bang, "Damn it! It's all a bitch, it's because of this brat, which has caused my workload to plummet and I have never received any business!!"
Chapter completed!
