Chapter 1209: Maori Kogoro in Crisis
At the same time, inside the Maori office.
Yoko Okino said that she was very upset about this matter and had not had a good rest for several days, so she wanted to ask Kogoro Mori to solve the mystery.
Faced with his idol's request, Kogoro Mouri immediately patted his chest and said that he would take care of it, and at the same time he also bet on the title of famous detective.
Conan chuckled and said, "Your title of famous detective was earned by me."
But it was obviously impossible to say this.
However, his handsomeness only lasted for three seconds. As soon as Maori Kogoro finished speaking, he felt his stomach churning.
His face changed drastically and he suddenly covered his stomach. It was a close call, he almost failed to hold the back door.
Yoko Okino noticed that Maori Kogoro looked strange and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Maori, what's wrong with you?"
Maori Kogoro was sweating profusely, and he felt as if his stomach was about to burst. He endured the pain and forced a smile: "No, it's okay! But I have to go to the bathroom first, please wait a moment."
After saying that, Kogoro Mouri stood up with gritted teeth, putting all his strength into his sphincter, clamped his legs together, and walked into the bathroom in a very awkward posture.
Yoko Okino stared blankly at the closed door, and finally understood what was going on, but she didn't take it too seriously. After all, people have three urgent needs.
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
Wakita Kanenori came in carrying a package. He smiled and said, "I heard your conversation. It seemed quite interesting."
He repeated what Yoko Okino said, and the content was exactly the same.
Okino Yoko looked at Wakita Kensuke in surprise and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Kanenori Wakita quickly introduced himself as a clerk at the Iroha Sushi restaurant next door and also a disciple of Kogoro Mori.
Yesterday, Kogoro Mouri called him and ordered a special sushi set for two.
Mao Lilan and Conan both showed speechless expressions. Is this weird uncle planning to enjoy sushi with Miss Yoko?
Kensuke Wakita had already prepared the sushi, but he hadn't received a call from Kogoro Mori, so he delivered it directly and heard their conversation at the door.
As he said this, he handed the package to Mao Lilan.
Mao Lilan quickly waved her hands and wanted to refuse. With her father's personality, he would definitely not charge commission fees for Yoko Okino's commission. He completed a commission but had no income, and yet he ordered two extra special sushi. Did he know that the family's finances were already very tight?
Wakita Kanenori smiled and said that he would treat them all and there was no need to pay, just consider it as tuition this time.
Only then did Mao Lilan accept it reluctantly. After all, there was a precedent of Amuro Toru using sandwiches as tuition, and she was already somewhat used to it.
Wakita Kanenori looked around and asked in confusion, "By the way, where is Master Kogoro?"
Mao Lilan pointed to the toilet: "He just went to the toilet."
Conan chuckled, winked at Mao Lilan and said, "Why don't we all eat sushi together?"
Mao Lilan immediately understood and agreed with a smile: "Good idea." At the same time, she muttered to herself, you are still thinking about enjoying some private time with a big star, right? Don't even think about it!
Let’s enjoy the sushi first!
Yoko Okino didn't have so many thoughts, and as she likes eating sushi, she also expressed her agreement.
Upon hearing this, Wakita Kanenori opened the package, revealing a large box of sushi. He smiled and said, "I made three servings~"
It seems that Wakita Kanenori guessed that Mouri Kogoro would entertain the client with sushi, so he made an extra portion for one person, intending to take the opportunity to take a class.
Mao Lilan smiled and said, "Then I'll go make some more tea."
While a few people were sitting together, drinking tea and enjoying sushi, Kogoro Mouri was sweating profusely because of the smelly toilet.
After releasing the pain for a while, I felt that the pain in my stomach was relieved a lot. I was very hungry at that time and ate very happily. Now thinking back, the cream biscuits did taste a bit weird.
Damn it, it was all because of those expired cookies, otherwise I would...
Kogoro Mouri looked sadly at Yoko Okino in the living room through the toilet door. Of course, he couldn't see anything.
However, through the door, he vaguely heard a lot of hustle and bustle outside, and couldn't help but wonder, what are they talking about?
Are you talking about the embarrassing incident where I, a famous detective, got a stomachache from expired biscuits?
The sushi was quickly finished, and Wakita Kanenori was a little confused: "That's strange, why hasn't Master Kogoro come out yet?"
Yoko Okino slurped her tea and looked at the bathroom door in confusion.
At this time, Kogoro Mori was sweating even more.
He should have gone out a long time ago, but something happened that was even more unexpected than the stomachache: the toilet paper roll was used up!
We're out of paper!
When Kogoro Mouri discovered this, he subconsciously wanted to shout loudly for Ran Mouri to bring some paper over, but then he suddenly remembered that Yoko Okino was also in the office.
Or, call?
Kogoro Mouri thought this was a good idea, as he could speak quietly while on the phone, but he immediately realized that it was not right.
Knowing his daughter well, he knew she would definitely yell after receiving the call and finding out what had happened: "What? We're out of paper and you want me to send some? Can't you just yell for something like that? Is there any need to waste phone bills on the phone?"
Or, send a text message? Maori Kogoro changed his mind, but...
When Ran Mouri receives the text, she'll definitely be confused as to why someone would send a text message when they're clearly in the restroom. Or will she even say it out loud? Then, out of curiosity, Yoko Okino will ask, and in the end, won't she still find out that Kogoro Mouri is stuck in the restroom because he's out of toilet paper?!
No, absolutely not! If I do that, my reputation as a hero will be completely ruined!
The more Kogoro Mouri thought about it, the more dangerous it seemed. He scratched his hair and reluctantly flipped out a number. At the same time, a face with dead eyes, a proud face, and a look that deserved a beating appeared in front of him.
Now, only that arrogant four-eyed little brat can save me.
Kogoro Mouri quickly edited the text message, but the moment he sent it, he quickly retracted his fingers.
"No, I can't say it directly. Let me think of a code... That little brat is quite clever, he'll definitely understand."
"that is it."
So, in order to protect his image in the eyes of Yoko Okino, Kogoro Mouri's potential was stimulated to the extreme, and he came up with a set of secret codes in less than a minute.
After editing the code and sending it to Conan's mobile phone, Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief.
That little kid must be able to understand my secret code, right?
In this way, Kogoro Mouri sat on the toilet and waited anxiously with hope.
