But a crime is a crime, and after such revenge, the criminal should accept his fate calmly instead of trying to escape. "
Suzuki Sonoko always felt that Aying seemed to have said something very profound last night, and she instinctively didn't want to think too much about it.
Although she usually looks careless, like a stupid and frivolous girl.
But Suzuki Sonoko didn't know nothing or never thought about anything.
She truly regarded Aying as a good friend. Although she had known Aying for a short time, she always had a feeling for her.
Aying seems to be hiding many secrets.
But Suzuki Sonoko never asked these questions.
She was very scared. She was afraid that after asking, Aying would suddenly disappear, and suddenly... become another person.
No, don't think about it.
Suzuki Sonoko quickly shook her head and forced away the thoughts in her mind.
"Sonoko, are you feeling carsick? Do you want me to go slower?" Karasuma Ying glanced at her and asked with some concern.
Although she has a driver's license, she hasn't driven for a while, let alone a car with a right-hand steering wheel.
"It's okay, Aying, don't worry about it." Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand and said.
"it is good……"
"Ah! Right! We were just talking about that brat Conan, right? What do you think, Ying? Am I right? There must be something wrong with that brat!"
"Uh, well..."
The three of them drove to the Mouri Detective Agency while chatting all the way, but at this time, Conan couldn't help but sneeze loudly in Dr. Agasa's car.
"Ah!"
"What's wrong, Conan? You've been sneezing since a while ago?"
Ayumi, who was sitting next to him, looked at him with some concern.
"Could you have a cold? After all, you stood on the beach for so long last night..." Mitsuhiko asked.
"Maybe someone is thinking about him." Huibara Ai said meaningfully.
"What a mess..."
Conan rubbed his nose and rolled his eyes at everyone.
"Let's buy some cold medicine on the way back?" Dr. Agasa suggested.
"No need, Doc, it's just a normal sneeze, I feel fine."
As Conan spoke, he took out his cell phone which suddenly vibrated from his trouser pocket and took a look.
Teacher Judy?
Why did you call him suddenly?
Conan frowned suddenly and glanced at the children in the car. He hesitated for a moment and finally answered the call.
"Hello? Teacher Judy? It's me, Conan..."
Come to think of it, I was just testing the waters this week, and I always feel like I’ve failed~ (Trying to cover up my inner sadness with witty remarks)
Chapter 60 The Female Detective's First Commission
"Here, get out of the car."
At the Mori Detective Agency, the car stopped on the side of the road and Karasuma Ying and the other two got out of the car one after another.
"Huh? Are we here already? So fast..."
Suzuki Sonoko rubbed her eyes in a very ungraceful manner, and fell asleep in the car halfway through the journey.
The shop on the first floor of the office is closed at this time, and Miss Amamiya Megumi is still working at Beika TV Station.
The three of them walked up to the second floor, and Mao Lilan opened the door with her key.
"Oh hoo! Miss Yoko is so cool!!"
In the office, Kogoro Mouri was shouting excitedly at Okino Yoko on TV, and he didn't even notice the three people who had entered the room.
There were piles of beer bottles and unthrown instant noodle boxes on the desk, and a pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray.
Apparently, because his daughter is away, the uncle has started to indulge himself again.
"Dad!" With veins bulging on her forehead, Mao Lilan shouted angrily.
"Oh? It's Xiaolan? When did you come back? Did you have fun yesterday?"
Hearing the shouting behind him, Kogoro Mouri turned around and asked with concern.
"Dad! Now is not the time to talk about this, right? Did you not eat well again? What time did you go to bed last night? And all these cigarettes! All this beer! Didn't I always tell you to drink less of these things?!"
Behind Mao Li Ran, Karasuma Ying walked into the kitchen silently, while Suzuki Sonoko sat on the sofa yawning.
"I didn't drink much..."
After being scolded by Maori Ran, Maori Kogoro looked away guiltily and spoke in a low voice.
"You don't drink much?!"
Mao Lilan walked forward angrily, one hand on her waist and the other pointing at the pile of beer bottles on the table. She was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
"That's too exaggerated, uncle~" Suzuki Sonoko said with a smile, lying on the back of the sofa.
"This, this is just a coincidence, don't take it so seriously, Xiaolan..."
"You said occasionally?!"
"Mr. Maori, would you like some tea?"
Just when Mao Lilan was about to go berserk, Karasuma Ying came out of the kitchen with a few cups of tea.
"Oh! Okay, okay! I'll get it, I'll get it!"
The rescue came, and Kogoro Mouri quickly stood up and took the tea from Karasuma Ying's hand.
"dad?!"
"Okay, Xiaolan, you come and try it too. It tastes really good. Xiaoying, your tea-making skills are still so good..."
"I am going tocook!"
After being repeatedly perfunctory by Kogoro Mouri, the angry Mouri Ran took the teacup and walked into the kitchen angrily.
Behind her, Kogoro Maori showed a grateful expression to Karasuma Ying, and Karasuma Ying gave him a helpless expression in return.
[This father and daughter...]
"I'll go help too..."
With a soft sigh, Karasuma Ying looked at Suzuki Sonoko who was sitting on the sofa and said:
"Yuanzi, after lunch, I'll drive you back home, okay?"
"It's all right, Ying~"
Suzuki Sonoko made an OK gesture, and Maori Kogoro on the side seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly took out a letter from the desk.
"Oh, by the way, Xiaoying, there was a letter of entrustment written to you in the mailbox yesterday. I brought it up for you. Please take a look."
"For me? Could it be a mistake?" Wu Wanying took the envelope with some confusion.
This was the first time she had received a letter of commission since she became Kogoro Mori's assistant.
"That's right, I've confirmed it, the recipient's name is indeed you."
"You're amazing, Ying. You received the commission so quickly. You'll surpass the uncle in no time." Suzuki Sonoko on the side laughed.
"What are you talking about, little girl? How can I, Maori Kogoro, be surpassed so easily? Xiaoying still has a lot to learn from me on the road of detective work!"
He drank the tea in his hand in one gulp. Although Kogoro Mori said this, he also looked at Karasuma Ying with curiosity.
He also wanted to know what the content of this commission specifically given to Karasuma Ying was.
Under the expectant gaze of the two, Wu Wanying opened the envelope. She glanced at the sender's name and then nodded in understanding.
"It's a request from Miss Hoshino."
"Ms. Hoshino?"
"She's the actress, Ms. Hoshino Terumi, who often appears in crime dramas," Karasuma Ying explained.
Ever since she was invited by Miss Okino Yoko to attend the "fake engagement party" last time, she and the somewhat cold Miss Hoshino Terumi have known each other.
The content of the commission in the letter was simple. Miss Hoshino recently took on a youth detective film with a high school girl as the protagonist.
However, Ms. Hoshino herself had no inspiration for the image of the movie's heroine, so she wanted to invite a real female high school detective, Karasuma Ying, to serve as a consultant for the film.
What she has to do is not complicated. She doesn't have to clock in on time every day. She just needs to provide some relevant advice to Miss Hoshino when she needs it.
With almost no hesitation, Karasuma Ying decided to accept the commission.
It's not just because of the generous reward, but more importantly, the client is Miss Hoshino.
Karasuma Ying couldn't bear to reject her sister who had a persistent dream of becoming a detective.
"So that's how it is. You want to be a film consultant..." After listening to Karasuma Ying's explanation, Maori Kogoro nodded.
"It really fits your identity, Ying. A super high school level female detective~"
"Don't laugh at me, Sonoko."
After putting the letter away, Karasuma Ying took out her cell phone and sent a text message to Hoshino Terumi accepting the commission.
"I am back!"
Just after sending the text message, the door of the office was suddenly opened and a short figure rushed in in a hurry.
"Conan? What's wrong?" Looking at the hurried Conan, Karasuma Ying asked puzzledly.
"Sorry! I have to go out for something!"
Without further explanation, Conan ran to the desk and took out a quick portrait from the drawer.
"Hey! Little brat! Stop rummaging around in my drawers!"
