Chapter 489 Earthwork
"How can a real detective be like Uncle Mori?" Conan's face became serious: "He should be like Kudo Shinichi!"

In Conan's opinion, an unreliable and confused detective like Kogoro Mouri can only be considered a half-baked detective at best.

Let alone a famous detective, just based on Uncle Maori's level, it would be a stretch to say that he is a normal detective.

A qualified detective should be as outstanding as Kudo Shinichi.

"Conan, how can you say that about Uncle Maori?" Ayumi frowned and said unhappily, "It's wrong to say bad things about others behind their backs."

"That's right!" Yuan Tai raised his fist and said excitedly: "Next time we meet, I will tell Uncle Maori everything Conan said, and let Uncle beat him up!"

"No, I beg for mercy..." Conan was ashamed and quickly admitted defeat.

Ze Yu ignored the fights of his friends and quietly looked at everything in the distance.

After hitting the electric pole, the famous actor got out of the car to check the situation. After he finished checking, he got back into the car and drove away in the deformed car.

It seems that he does not intend to wait for the traffic police to arrive at the scene, but is prepared to bear the cost of repairing the car himself.

Just now, the actor named 'Hijikata' was talking to himself in a very low voice, so none of the members of the Junior Detective Team heard it.

But Ze Yu heard it.

Maybe it’s because Hijikata was drunk, so he didn’t dare to stay here for too long?

You know, drunk driving is a very serious behavior. If you are caught by the traffic police, there will definitely be no good consequences.

Therefore, Hijikata did not dare to stay for too long and left quickly.

"This guy..." Looking at the car in the distance gradually leaving, Ze Yu said calmly: "There is a problem."

"Is there a problem?" Conan, who had just been begging for mercy, was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "Is there a problem, Uncle Hijikata?"

"Of course there is a problem, and his problem is very obvious." Ze Yu turned his head, glanced at Conan, and mentioned it casually.

"Conan, if you have time recently, you can pay a little attention to this guy."

"Okay, I understand." Conan nodded solemnly.

Since Xiaoyu said there was something wrong with Hijikata, then there must be something wrong with him.

It's worth paying attention to.

Conan's eyes flashed slightly, and he prepared to investigate this guy after returning home.

.........

After a while...

"I'm back." Conan pushed open the door of the detective agency and shouted.

"Conan, how was your day at school today?" Xiaolan, who was sweeping the floor, looked up and asked casually.

"It's okay." Conan threw his schoolbag on the sofa and looked at Uncle Maori.

Uncle Maori seemed a little excited at this time. Although he tried his best to appear calm, Conan could see through him at a glance.

"Uncle Maori, you seem very happy?" Conan asked curiously, "What happened?"

"Oh? Since you asked, I must tell you something." Seeing Conan asking, Uncle Maori simply stopped pretending and said proudly: "Conan, do you know?"

"The famous actor 'Hijikata Kozaburo' invited me and agreed to meet me at a cafe tomorrow."

"Even a famous actor like him would come to me, a famous detective, when he encounters a problem."

"But think about it, after all, even Miss Yoko wants to come to see me, haha!"

As he spoke, Uncle Maori burst into laughter, raised his head, and looked very proud, with a sense of pride emanating from his body.

After hearing what Uncle Maori said, Conan ignored his pride and grasped the key point.

"Hijikata Yukisaburo?" Conan's eyes flashed with surprise. I just wanted to investigate him, but he invited Uncle Mori?
Is it a coincidence?

Conan frowned, thinking for a moment.

.........

The next day, the weekend.

In a cafe, Uncle Maori sat in a seat with a faint smile on his face, scooping coffee with a spoon in his hand.

Xiaolan and Conan sat opposite him.

The agreed time has not yet arrived, but the Maori family has arrived at the cafe in advance and is waiting quietly.

While waiting, a little blond boy poked his head out from the corner and looked at Uncle Maori quietly.

This cute little guy is Ze Yu.

Perhaps because Ze Yu was too eye-catching, he attracted Uncle Maori's attention just by leaning forward slightly.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, why are you here too?" Uncle Maori was stunned for a moment.

"I'm here to see Conan."

Since he had been discovered, Ze Yu simply stopped hiding and walked over generously.

"Xiaoyu..."

Xiaolan and Conan both looked back.

"Sister Xiaolan, Conan, good morning." Ze Yu smiled and greeted them.

"Good morning." Xiaolan responded with a smile.

"Xiao Yu, are you here to see that actor?" Conan asked meaningfully.

He knew that Xiaoyu came here not just to meet Hijikata Yukisaburo.

But there are other things to do.

"Yeah." Ze Yu nodded slightly, confirming Conan's guess.

Conan nodded after getting the answer, and tacitly retracted his gaze and stopped asking about this topic.

Ze Yu walked to the seat next to Conan, sat down, and sat side by side with him.

This seat is very long, and it is more than enough for Xiaolan and two children.

"Dad, why does Hijikata Yukisaburo want to meet you?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"It seems that he is going to play the role of a detective on TV soon, so he wants to hear the opinion of me, a famous detective." Uncle Maori put down the spoon, pinched the cigarette between his fingers, and explained.

"But, Dad, Hijikata Yukisaburo has always insisted on being a period actor. Why would he suddenly want to play a modern detective?" Xiaolan looked puzzled and touched her chin.

"How should I know?" Uncle Maori raised his eyebrows and said casually, "Maybe it's because the audience is tired of his ancient costumes, which has caused his popularity to decline?"

"Otherwise, why would he go to so much trouble to transform? He must have run out of food and was starving..."

Uncle Maori became more and more excited as he spoke, and he talked so eloquently that even he believed what he said.

"...Um, uncle." Ze Yu couldn't help but interrupt Uncle Maori, a smile appeared in his eyes, and reminded: "The actor who has no food to eat you mentioned is sitting behind you now."

"……what?"

Uncle Maori was dumbfounded when he heard Ze Yu's reminder.
