Chapter 338 After Too Many Coincidences, It Becomes Inevitable
Mouri Kogoro immediately forgot all the unpleasantness he had encountered with Mrs. Kato. He smiled so hard that the skin on his face knitted together: "Oh, what are you talking about? These are all mine. It should be done. So you have given up looking for Dahei?"
"Give up?" Mr. Yoshida shook his head and said, "No, no, no, on the contrary, I have found it."
"Big black!"
Following Mr. Yoshida's call, an Akita dog suddenly ran up the stairs from downstairs, and happily circled around Mr. Yoshida several times.
Obviously, even without the help of Mouri Kogoro, Dahei still found it.
At this moment, Mouri Kogoro suddenly felt a little guilty for taking the commission money in vain. But it is absolutely impossible for him to return the money he received!
Compared to Mr. Yoshida who was smiling after finding his pet, Mrs. Kato's expression was much uglier: "Hey! Are you still looking for Xiaohua?!"
After Dahei heard Mrs. Kato's voice, he excitedly approached Mrs. Kato and smelled it for a long time, and then he showed extreme enthusiasm and closeness.
Dahei rubbed Mrs. Kato's trousers and licked her leather shoes.
At this time, even Mrs. Kato showed an incredible expression: "Why is this puppy so close to me??"
"Hahaha." Mr. Yoshida laughed, "Maybe Dahei is destined to you. He is usually very reserved when meeting strangers."
However, upon hearing these words, Mrs. Kato suddenly showed a horrified expression. She grabbed Mouri Kogoro's hand, and her tone was filled with urgency and pleading: "Mr. Mouri! I can feel that Xiaohua has suffered tremendous pain! Please find it quickly!!"
Mrs. Kato's sudden blabbering behavior startled Mouri Kogoro. He couldn't help but took half a step back and happened to bump into Daikoku. Daikoku suddenly trembled all over, and then "slipped" to Mr. Yoshida's feet.
Mao Lilan quickly bent down and whispered to Dahei: "Don't be afraid, Dahei. I boiled eggs at home at noon. I will get you an egg yolk to eat, okay?"
"Wow, it's Daikoku's favorite egg yolk!" Mr. Yoshida said to Daikoku in the tone of talking to a child.
But Dahei didn't react to his master's words as usual. He kept squeezing toward Mr. Yoshida's feet, as if the soft-spoken Maori Lan was a devil.
Mao Lilan straightened up in embarrassment: "It seems that Dahei doesn't like me."
"It's not your problem." Mr. Yoshida rubbed the big black cat and said helplessly, "Maybe it was frightened during the period of disappearance. Today it has been very timid, especially afraid of young women. "
"That's it." Mao Lilan regretfully gave up the urge to touch Dahei.
Mouri Kogoro looked at Daikoku, then at Mrs. Kato, and suddenly high-fived: "They say dogs have very good noses, why not let the big gangster Mrs. Yoshida find Xiaohua! Mrs. Yoshida, do you have any toys with Xiaohua?" "
Mrs. Kato immediately took out a ball of yarn from her handbag and said sadly, "This is Xiaohua's favorite toy. We used to take it with us wherever we went."
Mr. Yoshida was very enthusiastic, and he sympathized with Mrs. Kato who also lost her pet, so he let Dahei smell Xiaohua's yarn ball. But Dahei didn't seem to understand his master's order. He just sniffed it, but had no intention of going out to search for it.
Mouri Kogoro thought for a while and said tentatively: "Xiaohua ran away from home and disappeared. Maybe we should take Dahei to Mrs. Kato's house. It may be more convenient to track her from there."
But then, there was a knock on the door of the Maori Detective Agency again.
Mao Lilan opened the door and saw a young girl standing outside the door, who looked to be twenty years old at most. The girl was wearing a very cute pink dress, her hair was tied into a pair of ponytails hanging on her shoulders, and the bow on the hairband was sprinkled with glitter.
"Well, you are looking for..."
Before Mao Lilan finished asking her question, Mao Li Kogoro greeted enthusiastically: "Oh, Miss Michiko, you are here!"
Nobushige subconsciously took half a step back. Conan smiled happily when he saw this: "Mr. Asano, what's wrong with you?"
"I always thought that the women Mr. Mouri liked were more mature, but I didn't expect..." I didn't expect that Kogoro Mouri would be interested in underage people!
Gee, that’s terrible.
In fact, Nobushige knew that although Uncle Mouri seemed very unreliable and often went to maid cafes and custom shops after separating from his wife, he was not actually a playboy in nature. Mouri Kogoro still admires young and beautiful women more.
But being able to drool over a beautiful woman in front of my daughter... is indeed quite strange.
Sure enough, after seeing her father's behavior, Mao Lilan immediately put her hands on her hips angrily and said, "Dad!"
Only then did Mouri Kogoro put away his hands that had nowhere to rest, and the increasingly exaggerated expression on his face.
Miss Michiko didn't seem surprised by this, and she didn't feel disgusted at all. She smiled softly, and then said: "Mr. Maoli, I found Andy's bell on the road today, but I have never taken Andy to that area, so I am very worried about its safety."
Mrs. Kato immediately became unhappy: "Hey! How many commissions have you accepted at the same time?!"
"Uh... there are only three, only three!" Mouri Kogoro was about to cry without tears. How could he have thought that three clients would come to the door at the same time!
"Woof woof!!"
Dahei suddenly barked twice at Miss Michiko, and then he rubbed Miss Michiko's high-heeled shoes very intimately.
This surprised Miss Michiko. She smiled and said, "Ah, this dog seems to like me very much!"
The smile on Mao Lilan's face suddenly froze, and she felt like she wanted to cry without tears.
Mr. Yoshida said awkwardly: "Maybe it's because the colors of Miss Michiko's clothes are brighter. Daikoku usually gets excited when he sees us wearing red and orange clothes."
Xinfan stared at everything in front of him, the deep meaning in his eyes slowly gathering.
Although color can indeed cause emotional changes in pets, two ladies who should not be liked by Dahei received a warm welcome, and they both found Mouri Kogoro for the disappearance of their pets.
So many coincidences coming together are no longer coincidences.
"Ms. Michiko." Nobushige asked Michiko, "Can I see Andy's bell?"
"Eh? It's okay, but will it help in finding Andy?" Miss Michiko said, taking out a small golden bell from her pocket and handing it to Nobushige.
"How will you know if you don't try?"
