Chapter 488 Actor and Detective

"Sorry, Xiaolan." The orange cat raised his head and said helplessly, "I accidentally ran a little far."

"The journey is too long. It's not easy for me to get here."

Xiaoju is telling the truth.

He swam all the way from Antarctica and it took him more than a month to get back to Tokyo.

This speed is already very fast.

You know, the dog is still swimming in the sea, while Xiaoju has already returned home.

As for the big white goose...

An elf like her who has wings and can fly can fly back from Antarctica in less than half a day.

Xiaoju's strength is not inferior to that of the big white goose, and he is also very fast, but unfortunately he can't fly.

Theoretically, Xiaoju has some of the bloodline of Dream, so he should be born with the ability to fly, but in fact, Xiaoju has never been able to learn to fly.

This is very embarrassing.

This is the fact, and he himself is helpless.

"Really..."

Seeing Xiaoju's apologetic expression, Xiaolan's anger subsided a little, but she was still angry and said, "You should be good recently and don't run around everywhere, okay?"

Xiaoju has disappeared for more than a month. Not only Xiaolan is worried, but Uncle Maori and Conan are also worried.

The two detectives even launched a series of searches, but unfortunately to no avail. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find the missing Xiaoju.

This is a matter of course.

Xiaoju was left in Antarctica by Zeyu. It would be strange if Uncle Maori and Conan could find him.

Conan knew that Xiaoju was Zeyu's cat. After discovering that Xiaoju had disappeared, he even went to Zeyu to explain the situation to him.

Facing Conan who was full of anxiety, Ze Yu just responded calmly: "It's okay, that guy will be back in a few days."

Conan finally felt relieved after hearing Ze Yu's words.

Sure enough, not long after, Xiaoju came back.

The orange cat stood at the door of Mouri Detective Agency, raised his head, and looked at the angry Xiaolan with some guilt.

"I understand." He nodded the cat's head lightly.

No matter what, just agree to it first and calm Xiaolan down.

As for what happens next?

Xiaoju thinks that no matter where he wants to go to play, Xiaolan doesn't have the ability to stop him.

.........

The next day, the weather was sunny and the breeze was gentle.

Didan Primary School.

"Dingling bell~"

As the school bell rang, many elementary school students filed out of the school gate and crowded together.

The seven members of the Junior Detective Team walked together, talking as they walked.

"Tomorrow is the weekend." Ayumi blinked her big eyes and asked expectantly, "Where are we going to play?"

"It's summer now." Yuanta suggested, "Why don't we go swimming at the beach?" "Didn't we just go swimming at the beach last week?" Mitsuhiko raised a finger to express his objection and said with a smile, "It will be winter in a few days. Why don't we wait until next weekend and go skiing together?"

"Didn't we just go skiing two weeks ago?" Hiroki smiled and said, "Let's go to the art museum."

"How about going to the library?" asked Huibara Ai.

Because of her personality, she prefers to stay in a quiet corner and read rather than run out to play.

Of course, the prerequisite is that You Zeyu stays by her side, otherwise, forget it.

Haibara Ai looked towards Ze Yu with a questioning look in her eyes.

Conan, who was standing aside, looked eager to try and said, "I think..."

Before he could finish his words, Ze Yu stretched out his hand and covered his mouth.

Interrupting Conan's speech, Ze Yu remained calm, with a warm smile, and said, "Then listen to Xiao Ai..."

boom!
Unexpectedly, before Ze Yu could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud noise coming from a distance.

Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from with some curiosity.

I saw a car crashing into a telephone pole on a street in the distance, and the front of the car was deformed.

“Oh my god…”

The car door opened and an old man got out. He looked at the deformed front of the car and a look of distress appeared on his face.

"I accidentally bumped into a telephone pole. If I had known, I would have drunk less in the morning..." the uncle murmured with some dissatisfaction.

Seeing this scene, Ayumi widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Where have I seen this person before?"

"He looks familiar." Yuan Tai touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "I think I've seen him on TV?"

"I know who this person is." Mitsuhiko showed a confident smile and introduced to everyone: "He is a costume actor on TV. His name seems to be 'Hijikata'..."

At this point, Mitsuhiko was a little stuck. He couldn't remember the other person's name, and his confident smile became a little awkward.

"Is he called 'Hijikata Yukisaburo'?" Hiroki stepped forward to help Mitsuhiko out and continued, "I saw the cast list when I watched a historical drama last time."

"Yes, that's the name!" Mitsuhiko quickly agreed.

"Actually, I know this uncle too." Conan scratched his hair and said, "I remember that a while ago there was news that this uncle named 'Hijikata' was going to play a detective, so I paid attention to it and I have some impression of this actor."

"Play a detective?" Huiyuan laughed sadly. "A famous detective like Uncle Maori?"

"Do you mean the 'sleeping Kogoro' or the usual Kogoro?" Conan frowned and asked.

"Of course it's the usual Kogoro." Haibara Ai said without hesitation.

As we all know, Kogoro has several faces: his usual decadent look, his serious look for Kisaki Eri and Ran, and his calm look when he's 'sleeping'...

These faces are all different, and sometimes, Kogoro Mori in different states looks like completely different people.

But those in the know know that 'Sleeping Kogoro' is linked to Kudo Shinichi and cannot be considered the true face of Kogoro, so he is excluded.

The famous detective Maori Kogoro mentioned by Haibara Ai refers to the usual appearance of Uncle Maori: decadent, confused, silly, irritable, lazy, and at the same time he is an alcoholic, horse-gambler, and a fan of celebrities...

With so many characteristics gathered in one person, Kogoro Mori can be considered a talented person.

In the words of Huiyuan Ai, that is [He is indeed a famous detective. 】

"Hey, hey." Conan raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "If you say that 'Sleeping Kogoro' is a famous detective, I agree..."

"But you said that Kogoro can also be considered a famous detective? I don't agree with that."
