Chapter 125 - Chapter 125: This Is Just For You, Not Even Sonoko Has It (2nd Update)

After solving Akemi's problem of joining Mihana Bank, the next step was to wait.

Baishi Hui already had a way to break into the bank vault; once she finished investigating the internal situation of Mihana Bank, he could start taking action.

After Akemi went out to work, besides him, there was only one mixed-race beauty left in the house.

However, this mixed-race beauty had the trait of being a workaholic.

This resulted in Baishi Hui only being able to see Miyano Shiho during meals; after she finished eating, she would immediately bury herself in the laboratory, just like an internet-addicted girl!

Baishi Hui found that he didn't even have a chance to interact with her, and there was no way to increase his favorability.

There was no point in staying in the safe house anymore, so Baishi Hui simply left.

Before returning to the Mouri Detective Agency, he went around the mall and bought some gifts.

Standing at the entrance of the Mouri Detective Agency, Baishi Hui saw that Mouri Kogoro was still the same as before, sitting on the sofa, drinking beer, and watching the TV series starring Chongye Yangzi.

He knocked on the door, making a Boom boom boom sound.

"Oh! Welcome to the Mouri Detective... It's you, kid!" Mouri Kogoro habitually stood up to greet him, but as soon as he saw it was Baishi Hui, he immediately sat back down.

He picked up a can of beer from the table, threw it over, and said, "Back so early? Not hiding for a couple more days?"

"Sigh, it was too boring, so I came back early." Baishi Hui took the beer and walked over to the sofa and sat down.

He was still thinking of having a good spar with the people from the Organization.

But he didn't expect the people from the Organization to chicken out, with no intention of making a move at all.

They would rather lose money and take a loss than make a move.

Based on this point, Baishi Hui judged that the Organization's situation wasn't very good either.

He was a lone wolf, fighting and running, only responsible for having fun, not cleaning up the mess.

But the Organization couldn't do that; they had been engaged in various criminal activities in Tokyo for a long time, with one criminal den here and another laboratory there.

They had a large business and couldn't run away at all.

If they caused trouble, others would naturally come looking for them.

To quell the situation, they had no choice but to spend money.

"Brother Mouri, you've made a name for yourself these past two days I was away." Baishi Hui popped open the beer with a hiss, took a sip, and said, "The Sleeping Famous Detective... Tsk tsk tsk, quite a reputation!"

"Hehehe!" Mouri Kogoro habitually became carried away with pride, saying, "I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be alienated! I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table!"

Baishi Hui quietly watched him boast without exposing him.

He took out a box from the shopping bag, threw it over, and said, "Since you're a famous Detective now, you definitely can't do without a suitable watch!"

Mouri Kogoro took the box and looked inside, finding a delicate watch. He looked at the brand and exclaimed, "Rolex? Such a valuable gift!! It must have cost a lot, right?"

Baishi Hui said while drinking beer, "It's a fake, not worth much... just a few tens of thousands of yen."

"A fake?" Mouri Kogoro repeatedly examined the Rolex, surprised, and said, "It's very exquisite... You can't tell it's a fake at all!!"

"Made in Yiwu, it must be a high-quality product!" Baishi Hui chuckled, "Although it's a fake, it came from the same Factory, so the quality is guaranteed."

"No wonder the quality is so good!" After repeatedly examining it, Mouri Kogoro quickly grew fond of it.

He decisively put it on and said, "A fake is a fake! As long as it can pass for the real thing, there's no difference between it and the real one!"

"Anyway, not many people have the ability to tell the difference between real and fake!"

Just as the two were talking, Conan came over with his schoolbag.

After saying hello, he noticed Mouri Kogoro's Rolex, quickly Ran over to examine it repeatedly, and exclaimed, "Rolex? Uncle, did you take on a big case?"

Seeing that Conan didn't recognize it, Mouri Kogoro said with a smile, "Not really, Baishi gave it to me!!"

Baishi Hui looked at Conan with a smile and said, "Conan, I also have a gift for you... It's a Sherlock Holmes figure!"

"What?! A Sherlock Holmes figure?" When Conan heard this, his eyes lit up and he walked over.

However, the next second, his head received a punch!

"Ah!! Why did you hit me?" Conan covered the top of his head, grimacing in pain!

Baishi Hui reminded him, "Sherlock Holmes said, when you solve a case, just solve it, don't mention names casually! If it weren't for you, would I have been targeted by Mori Valley Teiji?"

As he spoke, he knocked on Conan's head a few more times... The feeling was inexplicably comfortable, no wonder Mouri Kogoro loved hitting him so much.

"Sorry, I won't dare next time... Also, Sherlock Holmes never said anything like that!" Conan apologized while dodging backward.

Although he was beaten, there was no anger on his face at all; instead, it was full of guilt and remorse.

Conan also understood that he had talked too much this time, putting the other person in danger, being targeted by Mori Valley Teiji, and being forced to take leave to avoid the spotlight.

But... who could have known that Mori Valley Teiji would be rescued?

If I had known he was rescued in advance, I definitely wouldn't have said anything!

When Conan thought that Baishi Hui was clearly solving cases under his name first, he felt even more depressed!!

Just as they were chatting, Ran also returned.

After she saw Baishi Hui, she walked a couple of steps excitedly, controlled her surging emotions, and called out, "Hui, you're back!!"

"Yeah, I didn't see any activity these past two days, so I came back." Baishi Hui said, handing the shopping bag to Ran, "A gift I bought for you!"

"Thank you~~~" Ran happily accepted it. Although she didn't know what the gift was yet, having this intention made her very happy!

She asked expectantly, "Can I see it?"

"Of course you can." Baishi Hui nodded gently.

Ran took out the gift and saw that it was a set of famous cosmetics. She said happily, "Great, my cosmetics are almost used up!"

"As long as you like it." After Baishi Hui finished speaking, he leaned into her ear and whispered, "This is just for you, not even Sonoko has it."

Giving other things like jewelry would be easily discovered.

But giving cosmetics is more discreet.

These words made Ran even happier; she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth, which were curving upwards wildly.

She said with a grin, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go make a sumptuous dinner right now!"

After speaking, Ran happily hummed a song and went upstairs.

Conan saw it with his own eyes, remembered it in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that he must use this trick whenever he had the chance in the future!!

Seeing Baishi Hui start drinking beer with Mouri Kogoro, in a rather good mood, he couldn't help but mutter: It's only been two days, and you've lowered your guard so quickly? Aren't you really afraid that Mori Valley Teiji will rush in with explosives and take us all down with him?

As he thought of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Conan's mind, and a bold idea emerged!

He came and sat next to Baishi Hui and asked softly, "Shirashi, you... couldn't have already caught Professor Moriya, could you?"

Baishi Hui glanced at Conan and smiled, "What do you think?"

After giving him an ambiguous answer, he continued drinking and chatting with Mouri Kogoro, passing the time.
