Chapter 167 Aragaki Yukimi
There is no doubt that Hiroki is a loyal fan of Sherlock Holmes. In the original work, after he developed artificial intelligence, he also added an easter egg about Sherlock Holmes.

As for today's banquet for Sherlock fans, if Hiroki didn't know about it, then it would be fine, but if he knew about it, he would not miss it easily.

Ze Yu didn't mind bringing one more person, so he brought Hiroki along as well. It would be more fun with more people anyway.

"Uncle Mori seems very angry. Don't we need to do something about it?" Haibara Ai looked at the angry Uncle Mori calmly. There was no worry in her words.

"No need. Uncle Maori is not an impulsive person. At least he won't do anything rash." Ze Yu said casually.

"It's really strange." Hiroki looked at Uncle Maori curiously, muttering to himself, "As a famous detective, Mr. Kogoro doesn't even know much about Sherlock Holmes. Isn't this too strange?"

As expected, Kogoro Mouri himself doesn't have any special skills and relies entirely on Conan by his side to help solve the case?
This thought came to Hiroki's mind, but he didn't say it out loud.

According to the information he had investigated, before Conan appeared, Uncle Maori was just an unknown little detective.

It was not until Conan appeared beside him that Uncle Maori's speed in solving cases increased rapidly, and he finally became a famous detective.

No matter how you look at it, this has something to do with Conan.

Moreover, according to the current situation, Kogoro Mouri has an extremely bad temper, which is a very serious shortcoming. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for a detective to have such a shortcoming.

A true detective should be calm and confident, not explosive and irritable, and gritting his teeth in anger when provoked.

Hiroki came to a conclusion.

There is a high probability that Kogoro Mouri is an incompetent imposter, and the one who is truly capable is Conan who is beside him.

On the other side……

Seeing Uncle Maori's angry face, Conan quickly tried to smooth things over, laughing dryly and saying, "Uncle, forget it. There's no need to bother with them. There's nothing we can do about it. After all, they are all Sherlock Holmes fans..."

I have to say that Conan is very biased and seems to be a bit of a traitor.

He was obviously trying to smooth things over, but his own stance unconsciously shifted towards the side of the Sherlock Holmes fans. He spoke for the other side and completely betrayed Uncle Maori.

After encountering something related to Sherlock Holmes, Conan's reaction can only be one of two possible outcomes.

Either he became smarter or his IQ and EQ decreased. Obviously, he had triggered the effect and his IQ decreased.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't dare to speak to Uncle Maori like this.

"Idiot! Shut up!" Uncle Maori looked down at Conan, gritting his teeth, his eyes spurting out uncontrollable anger: "How could I be worse than the virtual characters in the novel?"

Hearing this, the Sherlock Holmes fans nearby all cast very unhappy looks at Uncle Maori.

You know, except for a small group of people, all the people who can attend this banquet are loyal fans of Sherlock Holmes. How can they not be angry when they hear Uncle Maori belittling Sherlock Holmes?
It can be said that although Uncle Maori just said something casually, he offended almost everyone present.

Even Hiroki felt a little uncomfortable, and the look he gave Uncle Maori became a little unfriendly.

How can a useless detective who has to rely on assistants to solve cases have the courage to belittle Sherlock Holmes?

Who gave him the confidence?
It has to be said that in the Conan world, the charm of Sherlock Holmes is really huge, and even Hiroki, a genius child with an IQ that is off the charts, is deeply influenced by him. After encountering the incident related to Sherlock Holmes, Hiroki, like Conan, even had his IQ lowered a little, but even if a genius child like him has his IQ lowered, he is definitely calmer and smarter than ordinary people.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Uncle Maori became even more unhappy. He felt like a clown in a circus, and those Sherlock Holmes fans were the audience, casting mocking glances at him, the "clown".

Thinking of this, he punched Conan on the head and roared, "You little brat, it's all your fault. Who told you to take my place and join this tour group?"

"Ouch!" Conan covered his head, his face full of pain.

"Conan, are you okay?" Xiaolan said a little worriedly, then glared at her father.

"Little boy, your name is 'Conan'?"

Xiaolan's words attracted the attention of these Sherlock Holmes fans. They came over with surprise on their faces and surrounded Conan.

Perhaps, for other people, they would not think there is anything wrong with the name 'Conan', but if you are a Sherlock Holmes fan, you would not think so.

Because the name "Conan" comes from Conan Doyle, the author of "Sherlock Holmes".

The person who could give this child this name must have parents who are also loyal fans of Sherlock Holmes.

"Yeah, I like this name too." When talking about his name, Conan seemed to forget the pain in his head and said with a smile.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and seemed a little excited. Their favorability towards Conan rose to the level of "friendly".

"Seeing Conan's look, I finally feel relieved." Xiaolan looked at Conan who was surrounded by everyone, with a relaxed expression on her face.

"Huh?" Uncle Maori looked over with some confusion.

"Because Conan is usually very calm, unlike other children, I was a little worried, but just now, when I saw him being so innocent, I was relieved..."

For some reason, a familiar figure emerged in Xiaolan's mind.

Kudo Shinichi and Conan, these two people...

It really looks alike.

At this moment, a beautiful young woman walked towards Uncle Maori. She smiled and said, "I guess this is the Great Detective Maori? Hello, I am your fan. Please give me your guidance in the future."

"Miss, who are you?"

Seeing a young and beautiful woman approaching him, Uncle Maori's face suddenly turned a little red. He took out a red rose from his pocket, put it in his mouth, smoothed his hair, and asked in a pretentious and handsome manner.

"My name is 'Aragaki Yukimi'." The woman had a faint smile on her face and handed over her business card as she spoke.

"Ms. Aragaki? Hello, hello!" Uncle Maori took the business card with a little excitement.

"Aragaki...?" Xiaolan looked at her curiously.
