Stay away from Conan

Chapter 431 Kogoro is injured, Gao Yuan accepts the commission

"Did you call the police?"

At this time, Conan walked up to Shou Meimei, looked up at her and asked.

"No."

Shou Meimei shook her head and replied, but at the same time, Conan was grabbed by the ears by Kogoro and scolded:

"You stinking little brat! Stand aside! Don't get in my way!"

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Because Kogoro forcibly pulled him away, Conan couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Then Kogoro shouted "Xiaolan" to Xiaolan, and Xiaolan hurried over and took Conan away from Kogoro.

"We haven't called the police yet!"

The organizer of the competition, Miura Daigo, also gave the same answer as Kotobuki Meimei.

"Hey...why is this?"

Kogoro couldn't help but ask.

"The competition will be held at 7 o'clock tonight. If the police are called and the police ask to suspend the competition, we will have to pay a very huge liquidated damages to Mr. Suzuki, the owner of 'SONOKO Hotel'. And this time This is a program that will be broadcast to the whole country in real time, and the TV crew has already arrived, so we have to go ahead.”

Facing Kogoro's question, Miura Daigo answered plausibly.

"But...calling the police is a matter of life..."

Frowning slightly, Kogoro couldn't help but say.

"However, it's possible that it was just a prank."

Miura Daigo said with a fluke tone.

"Although that's what I say...but, I still think it's better to call the police..."

Saying this, Kogoro showed an embarrassed expression again, crossed his arms and began to think.

At this time, Conan, who was standing in the corner of the office listening to the conversation, looked up at Xiaolan, tugged on her sleeve, and whispered in her ear:

"Sister Xiaolan, the hotel they are talking about...could it be that Sister Yuanzi's father named it after her? What about the newly completed hotel? I remember that Sister Yuanzi also invited us to attend the inauguration ceremony tonight, right? Bar?"

After listening to Conan's words, Xiaolan nodded.

"And it was Hualien herself who asked not to suspend the game."

Sitting on the sofa, Shou Hualian's mother, Shou Meiling, spoke.

"Oh? Did your daughter decide on her own?"

Kogoro, who was helpless and worried with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes and looked at her for confirmation after hearing these words.

"Yes……"

Shou Meiling nodded deeply and affirmed.

"But why would your daughter do this?"

Kogoro asked with some curiosity.

"Hualien is a child who has the hope of winning the World Series. She knows this very well. How do you think she could do something stupid like suspending the competition for her own reasons? This competition is Hua Lian is an indispensable step to get the ticket to enter the world, and she will not let any accidents hinder him. "

Shou Meiling said anxiously, but she took out a cigarette from the gorgeous golden handbag, lit it, and started smoking.

"That's right..."

Kogoro was overwhelmed by the mother's aura and couldn't help but say.

"Yes, it was only after I heard what she said that I didn't call the police."

Miura Daigo nodded in agreement and showed an expression that said, "It's just what I want." But when Kogoro looked at him again, he quickly lowered his head.

"The reward will definitely not be less for you."

Shou Meiling puffed away her breath while looking at Kogoro and said very casually.

"It's all up to you."

Shou Meimei also bowed solemnly.

"kindness……"

In response, Kogoro crossed his arms again, closed his eyes, and meditated.

"We have long heard about Mr. Maori's glorious deeds from various news across the country! The beauties who have stood out in beauty pageants across the country are also looking forward to your coming! If you go, they will be safer feel!"

Miura, the organizer of the competition, interrupted again, and his words made Kogoro's left eyebrow twitch.

"You mean...beauties from all over the country?"

Kogoro was obviously moved by these words, and he couldn't help showing his unconcealable joy and said.

"Well, the competition is to select one of the beauties gathered from all over the country to be awarded the title of Miss Zephyr, so they are all girls who have won first place in various large-scale competitions across the country!"

Miura Daigo nodded as he spoke.

"Yeah, that's right."

Laughing, Kogoro echoed:

"I understand... I really can't help it. Protecting weak women is also a detective's bounden duty!"

Kogoro suddenly stood up and extended his right hand to Miura.

"Ah! Thank you so much!"

Miura Daigo also stood up immediately and held Kogoro's hand firmly with both hands.

"Thanks."

Shou Meiling just thanked her in a cold tone and stood up, while Shou Meimei on the side bowed deeply.

"Then let's go to the venue now."

Miura Daigo urged.

"Yes, tonight we will reveal who is the most beautiful woman!"

Pretending to be serious, Kogoro couldn't help but say.

"Yeah, yeah."

With a smile, Miura Daigo replied.

“It’s really exciting!”

After hearing what Miura Daigo said, Kogoro laughed:

"take care."

Xiaolan, who was standing by the door to see the group off, said politely.

"kindness?"

After Miura Daigo saw Xiaolan, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"So, so beautiful..."

His eyes shot open.

"What?"

Both Kogoro and Xiaolan were stunned for a moment without knowing why.

"Mr. Maori, your daughter is so beautiful, so stunningly beautiful..."

Miura Daigo explained.

"Haha, where can I find it?"

Kogoro waved his hand quickly.

"No, no, please be sure to come and participate in the next competition. Just listen to me, you're right!"

Miura Daigo said in a mysterious manner, while reaching out his hairy hand to touch Xiaolan's hair.

"ah--"

Xiaolan screamed, and at the same time, her fist was already embedded in Miura Daigo's fat belly.

"Well……"

Mippa Daigo groaned and fell to his knees.

This was Xiaolan's instinct, and she used karate to "entertain" Miura Daigo.

"It hurts……"

Miura Daigo couldn't help but hugged his belly and shrank to the ground, groaning.

Shou Meiling and Shou Meimei were stunned by this scene.

"Hey! Xiaolan, what are you doing!"

Seeing this, Kogoro quickly helped Miura Daigo up.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. But..."

Xiaolan wanted to defend herself, but when she saw Miura Daigo holding her belly, she swallowed her words again.

"Yeah - you are indeed Mr. Maori's daughter. Don't look at me like this. I am also at the third level of judo, and I don't even have any room to resist. Haha...it hurts..."

Miura Daigo covered his stomach with his hands and smiled weakly.

"I'm really sorry that I raised such a rude daughter and made you laugh. Women should be as docile and demure as Miss Zephyr's contestants!"

Kogoro said with a haha.

"Haha, Mr. Mori, you will see many girls like this later!"

As Miura Daigo spoke, he reluctantly stood up with the help of Kogoro.

"Really? But what if they all fall in love with me? Hahaha..."

After hearing this, Kogoro couldn't help laughing proudly.

"How could such a thing happen..."

Conan stood behind Kogoro, muttering quietly.

And just as everyone was going down the stairs, Miura Daigo said something in Kogoro's ear.

As a result, Kogoro immediately burst into laughter and couldn't help but say:

"Haha, you really know how to joke."

"What I said is true."

Miura Daigo said somewhat seriously.

"Huh……"

Kogoro couldn't help but swallowed after hearing this. But at this moment, he missed one step of the stairs——

"ah!"

Kogoro's body stayed in the air for a moment, and then rolled downstairs in all directions. Then with a dull sound, he fell heavily on the corridor downstairs.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Kogoro shouted, his face began to twist in pain, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"ah--"

Meiling and Meimei screamed when they saw this situation on the stairs.

"Ambulance, call an ambulance!"

"yes!"

Oura shouted loudly, Xiaolan answered as she ran back to the office and picked up the phone...

"So, because Mr. Maoli fell down the stairs and cracked his ankle and was unable to complete his bodyguard work tonight, Miss Xiaolan wants me to become Miss Shou Hualian's bodyguard instead?"

On the phone, after listening to Xiaolan's story about the causes and consequences, Gao Yuan couldn't help but say.

"yes."

On the phone, Xiaolan said firmly:

"The doctor said it would take at least three weeks for my father to recover... But because of the emergency, Mr. Miura and the others had no time to find bodyguards, so I had to come and ask Mr. Akechi... Moreover, Mr. Akechi should be just right. Have you been invited to attend the inauguration ceremony of Yuanzi’s new hotel tonight?”

"Hey! Is there any?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan said in surprise.

"Huh? No?"

Xiaolan also expressed surprise on the phone and said:

"I clearly heard what Yuanzi said in school today. Tonight's invitation letter has been sent to Mr. Mingzhi? He also included the invitation letters from Xiao Ai and Dr. A Li... Could it be that Mr. Mingzhi didn't Received?"

"Ah? Did you send it to me?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ran out of Dr. Ali's house, hurried to the mailbox in front of his house, and opened the mailbox——

I saw a delicately wrapped envelope lying quietly inside——

Since the envelope was completely stuffed into the mailbox, and he didn't have the habit of checking the mailbox outside the house on weekdays, Gao Yuan himself didn't realize that an envelope had been placed inside.

If it weren't for Xiaolan's call, Gao Yuan would have almost missed this invitation——

But, having said that, why didn't Yuanzi tell him beforehand?

"Oh! I did receive the invitation... We will definitely come on time... As for serving as Miss Shou Hualian's bodyguard, I will help as much as possible!"

Gao Yuan opened the envelope and saw three invitations with excellent paper quality inside, so he replied to Xiaolan on the phone and agreed to the commission...
