Chapter 611 Mother-in-law
"The Fang Group?" The man in the knitted hat said quietly, "If that child is really related to the Fang Group..."
"Then he must be a very important figure." Having said that, the corners of the man's mouth slightly raised, revealing an inexplicable smile.
It wasn't fear, it was excitement.
.........
Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several days have passed since the last incident.
During these few days, as soon as school was over, Ayumi would leave everyone behind and sneak away.
This reminded Conan of previous events.
Yuan Tai did the same thing at the beginning, and it turned out that Yuan Tai encountered an incident.
And now, history repeats itself, and Conan has every reason to suspect that Ayumi has also encountered some unusual situation.
So, the other members of the Junior Detective Team took action and quietly followed Ayumi to a park.
Under everyone's gaze, Ayumi came to an old lady and fed the cat with her.
"hey-hey!"
The old woman and Ayumi shouted loudly, attracting the stray cats around them.
"Meow~!"
Various noises were heard, and many stray cats of different colors rushed out from the woods and surrounded Ayumi and the others.
The other members of the Junior Detective Team came over, and Genta said in surprise: "Ayumi, so you have been feeding the cats here these days."
"Yeah." Ayumi was a little surprised to see everyone coming over and nodded.
"Because these cats are a little shy, I was afraid that too many people would come and scare them, so I didn't tell you about this."
"Sorry!" Ayumi said apologetically.
"It's okay, we are good friends." Mitsuhiko consoled him, and then said, "But, Ayumi, don't be so reserved next time."
"Yeah!" Ayumi responded seriously.
"Ayumi, are these your classmates?" the old lady asked with a kind smile.
"Yes." Ayumi blinked her big eyes, nodded, then squatted down and picked up a cat.
Before, the cat had been rubbing against her legs.
"Steve, your skin disease will soon be cured." Ayumi looked at the cat in her arms with a cute and gentle smile.
"Meow~" The cat squinted its eyes in pleasure, called out happily, and licked Ayumi's palm.
"Let me apply some medicine for you." Ayumi said, opened a box of ointment, and applied it on the belly of the cat named 'Steve'.
The old woman touched the other cat's head and said kindly, "Your foot is much better now, Jack."
"What a group of cute little guys." Ze Yu looked at the group of cats and smiled happily.
As an elf, he felt very comfortable being in this environment close to nature.
"Meow~"
As if sensing Ze Yu's presence, many cats walked around him and kept rubbing their heads against his legs.
"Xiao Yu, it seems that you are very popular with these little animals." The corners of Huihara Ai's mouth rose slightly.
"There's nothing I can do." Ze Yu smiled, touched the cats' heads, and said softly, "These cats are very spiritual."
Just at this time……
"Meow!" A black and white cow cat jumped out of the woods in panic, ran quickly, and hid behind the old woman.
"What's wrong with this cat?" Yuan Tai said with some confusion: "It seems to be very scared."
"Is anyone chasing it?" Mitsuhiko frowned.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a hat walked out of the woods with a menacing look.
"Hey, old woman!" the man said rudely, "You must hand over the cat to me today!"
"Really? Why are you shouting so loudly?" The old woman looked nonchalant and picked up the cow cat.
"The cat got into my car again and peed everywhere. I have to go back and wash the car again."
"It's all because you're here to take care of this stupid cat!" The man waved his fist and said angrily, "Wild cats like this should be left to fend for themselves!"
"How can you say such a thing?" The old woman calmly said while comforting the frightened cat, "Don't you think about where you parked your car?"
"Can you park your car anywhere like that?" The old lady looked at him calmly and said, "It's okay to park your car randomly and get peed on by a cat, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" The man glared, "Do you want to suffer for the cat?"
"Oh? You want to do it?" The old woman said calmly without any panic: "Just show me how to do it."
"Damn it!" The man gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in anger, as if he would attack at any time.
"What's wrong with you, guy?" Yuan Tai stood up and said dissatisfiedly.
"Don't bully the elderly!" Mitsuhiko stood in front of the old woman and glared at her.
The other members of the Junior Detective Team did not fall behind and stood in front of the old woman.
"You guys..." Seeing this scene, the man frowned and seemed a little hesitant.
"Don't waste time here, go back and wash the car." Ze Yu raised his head and glanced at him indifferently.
Hearing this, the man snorted in dissatisfaction. Although he wanted to back out, he still made a harsh remark.
"Forget it this time." The man gritted his teeth and said, "Remember this, old woman, if that cat dares to run into my car again, I will definitely make it pay!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
The old woman shook her head and ignored the man's words. She picked up the cow cat and gently taught him, "Bruce, didn't I tell you not to get into that car?"
"Why do you like playing pranks so much?"
"Meow~" Although Bruce was just an ordinary cat and couldn't understand what the old woman said, he still called out happily.
The old woman put down the cat in her hand, looked up at the Junior Detective Team, and smiled: "Thank goodness you are here."
"Thanks so much, kids."
"You're welcome. This is what we should do." Although he said it very modestly, Yuantai's face was full of unconcealable pride.
"Old lady, we should be the ones thanking you." Mitsuhiko said, "You have been taking care of these stray cats for a long time, which is worthy of our learning."
"For the sake of the cat, the old woman did not give in even when facing a young and strong man." Hiroki said admiringly: "She is really respectable!"
"No, I'm not that great." The old woman smiled and shook her head, saying with some complexity: "People like me are not even half as good as these cats."
Conan was stunned when he heard the old woman's words.

Full of sighs and helplessness...
