Chapter 626 We Deeply Apologize (Additional Update From 4.24 Crowdfunding)
"Huh? Moving?" Mouri Kogoro expressed surprise.
Haihara Ai nodded lightly and explained: "My brother agreed to take me to my new home yesterday, but I waited and waited at Dr. A Li's place but couldn't wait. Dr. A Li advised me not to wait any longer. , but I firmly believe that my brother will definitely come."
Okay, you don't need to look at Nobushige to know what Mouri Kogoro's expression is now. The usually unobtrusive uncle almost immediately cast a condemning look at him.
Although what Haibara Ai said was basically the truth, after her treatment, these words really made her feel that Asano Nobushige was an irresponsible scumbag brother.
Nobuhiro said that he was so wronged.
Facing everyone's eyes that were either condemning or gloating about his misfortune, gloating here specifically refers to Conan, Nobufan helplessly knelt down and touched Xiao Ai's head. Although Haihara Ai still raised her head with a "you owe me" expression, she did not avoid someone's claws and allowed them to touch her.
"Xiao Ai." Nobuban called, "I had some things that needed to be dealt with yesterday, so I couldn't pick you up at Dr. Ali's house in time. I'm really sorry. Let's go home together today, okay?"
Haibara Ai agreed without even thinking: "Okay, but I want to eat the strawberry daifuku from Otama House."
"Okay, then on the way back I'll take you to the Otama House to buy strawberry daifuku."
Conan laughed dryly and complained silently: "Brother Asano really seems to be coaxing a child."
"Bang!" Conan's head received another ice cream ball.
"What do you mean, Xiao Ai is a child. You are also a child, so don't speak in such a mature tone!" Maori Kogoro scolded.
"Dad, Mr. Asano, Conan, come up for lunch~" Mao Lilan opened the door and shouted loudly below.
As a result, when everyone heard the noise and walked to the restaurant, Mao Lilan discovered that there was an extra head.
"Xiao Ai, you're here!" Mao Lilan laughed, "Then I'll prepare a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Today's lunch is traditional Japanese food. I don't know if you are used to it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was stunned: "Huh? Why do I think Xiao Ai can't get used to it..."
Miyano Shiho has lived in the United States for a long time and does not like Japanese food very much. She feels that it is her usual behavior that has created such an impression on Mao Lilan.
But this Maori lady is really attentive.
Mao Lilan didn't know that Haihara Ai's favorability towards her was rising sharply. She had already put the food on the table: "Today I made beef stew and parent-child rice bowl. I hope you like it."
Hui Yuan Ai sat in front of the table, holding chopsticks in both hands and clasping hands: "I'm starting!"
Oyakodon, as the name suggests, is a dish made with chicken and eggs. Mix the vegetables and rice together with a spoon and put it into your mouth. The rich aroma of the broth will explode in your mouth.
"It's delicious!" Hui Yuan Ai praised sincerely.
Hearing that she was satisfied, Mao Lilan also smiled happily: "It's great that you like it."
Eating the food in the bowl, Haihara Ai suddenly felt very happy.
She is now wearing clothes bought by her brother, carrying the fragrance of the flowers sent by her sister, eating food cooked by her friends, and sitting at the same dining table with her classmates. Such a plain but happy life was something that Miyano Shiho could not imagine.
She cherishes this time and doesn't want any accident to break it.
"Asano, do you have any plans this afternoon?" Mouri Kogoro asked vaguely while eating his meal.
Nobushige raised his eyes and said, "No, but I have an appointment with a friend the day after tomorrow, and I may not be in Tokyo."
"But the famous shogi game Throne Battle will be held the day after tomorrow. Even if you can't go there, it's still good to watch the TV broadcast." Mao Lilan said regretfully.
Nobuhiro kept smiling and said nothing. Because in fact, he was going to the Throne Battle site the day after tomorrow, and he was also invited to accompany Takeda Luo to the subsequent fan exchange gathering.
At this point, Nobuhiro suddenly remembered that his lady's kimono was not ready yet. Fortunately, there is no accurate size for this kind of thing, so he can buy ready-made clothes directly.
Mouri Kogoro nodded and said, "That's okay. Just come with me to see the client this afternoon."
"Is there a new commission?"
"Yes, it seems to be related to the supernatural curse." Mao Lilan, who took on the responsibility of the agent when Asano Nobuyoshi was away, explained, "I told my father that this commission was very unreliable, but he just refused to listen to me. "
Conan sneered and said, "Uncle, he must have taken a fancy to the high commission fee."
"It's not your turn to accuse me yet!" Mouri Kogoro threatened him fiercely, "If you say anything again, I will return you to your parents!"
In his heart, Conan despised Uncle Maori for his inconsistent words, and his uncle couldn't bear to abandon him. After all, his mother also paid a lot of child support.
"What kind of commission is it specifically?" After hearing the supernatural and curse, Nobuhiro immediately felt no longer sleepy.
As we all know, the world of Kexue is an atheistic world. Even though the characters, including the protagonists and villains, occasionally do some magical operations that can make Newton angry, there are no monsters in this world.
Of course, when Newton was so angry that he wanted to reshape his ashes into an army of skeletons, Cotton stood by and stepped on his left foot and his right foot into the sky.
According to Ke Xue's law, where there are monsters and ghosts, there must be human malice and murderous thoughts.
"I don't know the specific situation." Maori Kogoro drank a whole bowl of miso soup, "I'll find out when I see the client this afternoon."
…
Since Asano Nobushige once fell in love with Haibara Ai, the little girl refused to be abandoned by someone alone this time. She insisted on going with Mouri Kogoro and Asano Nobushige.
So Mouri Kogoro had to bring a bunch of oil bottles to the appointment.
Shitara's housekeeper, Ms. Jinqu Hongsheng, pushed up her glasses indifferently and said: "Mr. Mouri Kogoro, even if you have made an appointment with Miss Renxi to meet here today, you will not bring your son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren together. Get up."
Mouri Kogoro's face suddenly stiffened: "What are you talking about?! This is my agent Asano Nobushige, and my daughter is only seventeen years old!!"
"Oh?" Jinqu Hongsheng raised his eyebrows, "Then who are these two children?"
"One is the child of a relative who lives in my house, and the other is my agent's sister!"
"Oh." Jinqu Hongsheng's expression became even worse, "If you made an appointment with Miss Lianxi for work, it would be too informal to bring your children here."
Mouri Kogoro was about to speak, but Nobushige had already spoken first. He still maintains his usual gentleness, making the aggressive opponent embarrassed to embarrass them again:
"It's like this. Miss Renxi seems to be in a bad mental state recently. Mr. Mori hopes that the children's tender voices can ease her anxiety. We apologize if this has caused you any inconvenience."
