"Who is your kid? What is the relationship with my Xiaolan?"
Although he is a confused detective, Mori Kogoro is not really an idiot.
He knew very well that with his daughter's force value, it was impossible for a strange man to force his way into the house.
So the boy in front of him was most likely invited by his daughter.
But even if Mori Kogoro guessed the truth, at this moment, his attitude was still not friendly.
Perhaps all fathers in the world are the same, they have an instinctive resistance to men who approach their daughters.
He, Kogoro Mori, is no exception.
"You are Detective Mori Kogoro, right? This is the first time we meet, my name is Lynn."
Seeing Kogoro Mori appear, Lynn immediately stood up.
He could see that the other party's attitude was not good, but at this moment, his performance was quite decent.
only…
"Oh? You know me? But I've never seen you!"
"You boy..."
"dad!"
Although Mori Kogoro had just drank a lot of alcohol and his mind was not sober, but as a detective, he was frowned instinctively by a boy he had never met before.
But before he assumed the detective posture and continued to interrogate Lynn, Mao Lilan, who had heard the news, came out of the kitchen and interrupted him first.
"This is our landlord, Mr. Lynn, Dad, don't be too rude!"
Mao Lilan still has a good impression of Lin En, the landlord.
But now it's a good thing, he helped his family a lot, but his drunken father treated him as a prisoner for interrogation.
This is too much!
"Huh? Landlord?"
Hearing his daughter's words, Mori Kogoro shuddered subconsciously.
landlord
Isn't the landlord a bald uncle in his sixties
wrong!
It seems that I heard that the landlord has changed a while ago? And the new landlord's name seems to be - Lynn
"Hey! So it's Mr. Landlord."
"I'm sorry, sorry, I'm really rude. I thought it was a wild boy who came to pursue my daughter."
"If it's Mr. Landlord, then it's perfectly fine."
"Please sit down, please sit down! Lan! Hurry up and make tea for Mr. Landlord!"
In front of Lynn, Mori Kogoro performed a face-changing stunt perfectly.
From the serious anti-wolf attitude at the beginning, it directly changed to the current dog-licking mode.
no way.
Those who have money these days are uncles.
But Kogoro Mori is a poor ghost.
Especially for his detective career, earning more or less depends entirely on luck, and it would be better to meet a generous donor, but the small cases he usually receives may not even earn money for drinks.
So facing Lynn, Mori Kogoro lost confidence first.
The most important thing is that Mori Kogoro knows very well that he can't pay this month's rent now.
So when he saw the landlord, he couldn't say enough good things
Otherwise, if he was kicked out of the house, then his old face might be lost!
"Mr. Morley is too kind."
"Today, I was also invited by Maori classmates to discuss the issue of rent."
Kogoro Mori's attitude changed so quickly that Lin En complained a lot.
But on the surface, he still looked calm, and briefly explained the reason why he appeared here.
At the same time, Mao Lilan also explained to his father in a low voice.
Knowing that the young landlord agreed to defer the rent payment, Mori Kogoro burst into laughter.
"So it is!"
"As expected of Mr. Landlord, you have such courage at such a young age, it's amazing!"
"Lan! Go cook!"
"Mr. Landlord, we will definitely not return home drunk today! This is how I express my thanks!"
Being able to defer the rent payment, the pressure on Kogoro Mori has been reduced a lot.
It's just that what the middle-aged uncle said next caused many black lines to appear on Lin En's forehead.
"Mr Maury... I'm underage..."
Although it was changed to another world, the law of Dongying District still does not allow minors to drink alcohol.
Molly this guy...
Even though he used to work in the Metropolitan Police Department, but now he wants to get drunk with a minor
are you serious
"Dad, what are you talking about! When is this? Are you still thinking about drinking?"
Mori Kogoro was not aware of his behavior, but Mao Lilan's pretty face was completely red.
He hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his father's arm, and then snatched the wine bottle from Mori Kogoro's hand.
Today, no matter what, I can't let my father drink anymore!
The faces of the Maoli family... were all lost by him!
"I'm not happy..."
"Ahem... I know, I will never drink today! Absolutely!"
His interest was disturbed, and Mori Kogoro still wanted to refute a few words.
As a result, before he could finish speaking, Mao Lilan's pretty eyebrows raised up, which instantly made him freeze in place!
murderous look!
This is definitely murderous!
Even Lynn on the side can feel the chilling aura!
"Ah... so what... I... I'm going to cook!"
Probably feeling the stunned look in Lynn's eyes, Mao Lilan's cheeks were immediately dyed crimson.
shame!
What a shame!
Mao Lilan, who ran back to the kitchen with the bottle in her arms, didn't dare to look at Lynn again.
I must have been misunderstood by the landlord as a violent girl!
But she didn't know that Lin En, who was watching her back at this moment, kept sighing in his heart.
It's really Xiaolan.
From the kitchen to the battlefield!
Simply perfect!
"Cough...then Mr. Maori, why don't we...sit first?"
As Mao Lilan's back disappeared at the kitchen door, Lynn's eyes quickly turned to Mao Li Kogoro.
Because the wine bottle was taken away by his daughter, this middle-aged uncle looked at the direction of the kitchen with a dejected face, and at the same time his shoulders shrugged limply, looking quite decadent.
"Sit? Oh yes! Mr. Landlord, please sit down!"
Under Lin En's reminder, Mori Kogoro finally realized that there is still a landlord on his side who needs to entertain.
He cheered up in a hurry, and invited Lin En to sit down very graciously.
"Then I won't be polite."
"I heard that Mr. Maori is a very famous detective, and I am also very curious about the profession of detective."
"If it is possible, Mr. Morley, can you tell me about the cases you have investigated?"
If Lin En was really a teenager, it would definitely be awkward to be alone in the living room with such a middle-aged man.
But Lynn is not an ignorant teenager. He knows how to get closer to people and communicate correctly.
No, with just a few words, he easily let Kogoro Mouri start talking.
It's just that once the chatterbox is opened, it's very difficult to take it back.
Seeing the scene where Mori Kogoro was boasting and spitting, Lynn couldn't help but secretly regret it.
In the future, this kind of thing... I'd better do it less!
