Chapter 737 Dinner Time
"You're back too late." Kogoro Mouri, who had changed into a clean and neat suit and looked a little more respectable, pointed at the watch on his wrist and complained to Martin who was late.
Xiaolan, who also changed into a dress, stood aside with a little corgi in her hand and pulled Kogoro Mouri's sleeve.
"I was late on purpose." Martin shrugged. "I thought my uncle would not wait for me and go straight to the appointment."
"Why am I doing this?" Maori Kogoro didn't understand. "I was so shameless that I let them pay for your trip. It's ok for the two sisters to look for their relatives, but you didn't even show up for the appointment. Isn't that embarrassing?"
"Uncle, have you ever thought about this? Is the lady's love for you because of your name, Maori Kogoro, or because you helped her find the dog that was lost eight times a year?" Holmes Martin stretched out his finger and poked Maori Kogoro's chest in a gay way: "Or is it that the British lady simply likes detectives, and you just happen to be a detective?"
"Ah." Mao Lilan remembered: "It was when I said that my father was a detective that Lady Diana suddenly became excited."
"Unfortunately, my current image is the embodiment of the symbol of detective." Martin did not show any modesty on behalf of Holmes: "If you bring me to the banquet, those who used to admire you will abandon you in a minute."
"What!" Maori Kogoro's face changed and he turned around immediately: "Forget it, go and play by yourself."
"Dad!" Xiaolan scolded.
But after walking four or five steps, Maori Kogoro paused again and turned back. He grabbed Martin's arm and pulled him into the restaurant: "No, if I don't take you with me, I will be the one who is late. If I take you with me, I can say that it's all your fault. If no one likes me, then no one likes me. Anyway, I can't speak English, so it's hard to talk to them."
At this moment another hand grasped Martin's other arm.
"Mr. Maori, can you lend me Mr. Holmes for a while?" The familiar girl's voice said, "I also want to have lunch with Mr. Holmes."
"Who...eh?" Kogoro Mouri turned around and found that it was Xiaolan who was pulling Martin's arm, but after looking more closely, he found that it was not Xiaolan.
Looking at his daughter, and then at the girl holding Martin's arm who looked like Xiaolan, Maori Kogoro was stunned: "Could it be that princess?"
"Dad, Mira is already the queen!" Xiaolan quickly reminded.
The little Corgi in Xiaolan's arms, like Kogoro Mouri, had no idea that Mira was also in London, and looked at her in amazement.
While Kogoro Mori was in a daze, Martin pulled out his arm that was grabbed.
"This..." Kogoro Mouri was wondering whether he should salute this queen girl who looked like his daughter.
Mira interrupted him: "I will borrow this Mr. Holmes. Mr. Maori's guests can just tell them that I took it away. Bye~"
As she spoke, Mira pulled Martin into the restaurant first. Along the way, they met Professor Agasa, who was waiting for a few people in the restaurant with a confused look on his face. Rabbit followed behind them, skipping and jumping.
With nothing to say, Kogoro Mouri went to the appointment with Professor Agasa and Ran.
In addition to Maori Kogoro and Ms. Diana, there were eight of Ms. Diana's friends at the dinner. Of course, the lady invited Maori Kogoro and others to travel for a reason, and her purpose was to show off to her social circle: Look, I know a detective.
Then, among Lady Diana's friends, Maori Kogoro found a familiar face: "You are the... Grand Chamberlain!"
It was none other than Vespania's second-in-command, Gisgi, who was originally appointed Grand Chamberlain by Princess Martin.
But since I've already met Mira, it's not surprising to see Gis again.
Seeing that Maori Kogoro clearly didn't remember his name, but remembered the nickname that person gave him, Ji Si suddenly burst into a "tic-tac-toe" on his head: "Long time no see, Mr. Maori."
"Mr. Maori actually knows Count Guise?" Lady Diana, who was about to introduce them to each other, said in surprise: "You are indeed a famous detective!"
"I know him, of course I know him!" Maori Kogoro stared at Jis with a somewhat unfriendly tone.
Xiaolan was tricked into going to a foreign country to participate in political struggles. The Face-Changing Boy could only be considered as an instigator, and Gis was the mastermind.
So after thinking about this person named Gis, Kogoro Mori's attitude towards him immediately became much worse.
Originally, Jis had no opinion about Kogoro Mori. Given the relationship between Queen Mira and Xiaolan, if they were in a non-public occasion, he would call Xiaolan "Your Highness" and of course treat Xiaolan's father politely as well.
However, Kogoro Mori started by calling him the Grand Chamberlain and kept staring at him with a sour face. Gis also became dissatisfied and glared back at Kogoro Mori: What are you looking at?
Diana first introduced Maori Kogoro to her friends. Xiaolan and Dr. Agasa understood, but Maori Kogoro could only nod stupidly. "Mr. Maori, please tell us about the case you solved!" someone asked.
After Dr. Agasa quietly translated this sentence to Kogoro Mori, the doctor himself felt very upset.
Ever since Xiaolan found out that Conan used an anesthetic needle, she has been against Conan using anesthesia on Maori Kogoro or Sonoko, so Conan can only use hints when they encounter a case. So there is no need to worry that Maori Kogoro will have no cases to report.
And based on Dr. Agasa's understanding of Maori Kogoro, bragging is simply his professional expertise. The only thing Dr. Agasa needs to worry about is that it will be very hard for him to translate Maori Kogoro's bragging.
As for asking other people to translate... Xiaolan's English level is still a little bit lacking, Ai hasn't come back yet, Shinichi... the Corgi is busy gnawing on ribs, alas.
Maori Kogoro was ready to talk big: "Then let's talk about the case that happened today. The bomber who was full of evil intentions, do you know him?"
"Hades, that scary guy!" Everyone on the opposite side knew very well that, except for Giss, everyone else was on the tennis court today and was told by Xiaolan that there would be danger here.
Moreover, this group of rich or noble people were all well-informed. After leaving the tennis court, they immediately asked around and had already learned that Hades had planned a bomb attack in the audience seats.
In addition, they also learned that Hades had been arrested and was knocked down by a middle-aged Japanese man with a mustache.
"——So it was Mr. Maori who caught Hades! That's so cool, he's worthy of being a famous detective, just like Sherlock Holmes!"
Shuichi Akai knocked down Hades in the guise of Yusaku Kudo, and then walked away without leaving his name. Afterwards, some reporters asked the audience about the man's characteristics, and now after hearing what Kogoro Mori said, they thought that Kogoro Mori, who also had a mustache like Yusaku Kudo, was the one who caught Hades.
After Dr. Agasa translated this sentence, Kogoro Mori was slightly stunned. Although his original intention was not to claim credit for someone else's work, the other party had already misunderstood him... Oh, I don't know what you are talking about. I don't understand English, so I won't refute it.
So Maori Kogoro coughed dryly and said, "Well, that's right, let me tell you how I caught him."
When the code was just being cracked, Holmes Martin was talking to a Corgi and it was like pressing the fast-forward button, so others could only understand half of what they understood. If Mouri Kogoro really wanted to explain how the code was cracked, he would have to pick up the little Corgi that was gnawing on ribs under the table in front of everyone for on-site consultation.
"After cracking the code, I rushed to the stadium without stopping. Hey! With my sharp eyes, I found the guy hiding in the audience at a glance!" Maori Kogoro stood up from the stool, made an exaggerated tiptoeing gesture, and went around behind everyone until he was behind Giss: "In order not to alert him to detonate the bomb, I carefully went behind the criminal like this."
Walking behind Gis, Maori Kogoro paused strangely and placed his left hand on Gis's right shoulder: "Then I will be like this..."
Gis realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously raised his arm to drive away Maori Kogoro. However, this was actually a good opportunity for Maori Kogoro. He inserted his right hand under Gis's right arm, and the next moment he twisted his waist and thrust his hips -
Gis: “???”
Gis was picked up and thrown out like a big bag.
"Wow! So cool!" None of Diana's friends thought that Maori Kogoro was seeking revenge, and they just kept praising excitedly: "This is really Sherlock Holmes!" "Patton's technique! It must be Patton's technique!"
Then Maori Kogoro flew forward and continued to use the strongman lock on Gis: "In order to prevent the prisoner from struggling and continuing to detonate the bomb, I used the ground cross lock on him like this!"
Gis: “???”
Gis was confused, but the others were excited: "Holmes!" "Barton technique!" "Cool!"
Kogoro Maori couldn't understand other words, but he could still recognize "Sherlock Holmes".
As expected, what the Face-Changing Boy said was right, these people are just die-hard fans of Sherlock Holmes.
In fact, the best option is to let the face-changing boy entertain them... Kogoro Mouri looked down at Gis who was captured by him: It's a pity that the boy was abducted by this guy's queen.
……
At this time, in another corner of the restaurant, there were three chairs next to a round table, with Martin, Tuji and Queen Mira sitting on them.
"No matter how I look at it, there's a voice in my heart saying 'This is Sherlock Holmes' when I look at you." Mira's attention was not on the French food in front of her, but on Sherlock Martin opposite her.
"But when can you let me see your true face?"
