Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 121 The misunderstood child

"Is that so?"

Although she was not sure what time Conan was talking about, Ai did not ask too many questions. She just nodded slightly and agreed.

"But, have you figured out how to explain this to Xiaolan?"

A hint of smile flashed in Xiao Ai's eyes:

"Don't forget, you've already told her everything, so what excuse are you going to come up with to fool her?"

"so what?"

Conan rolled his eyes:

"I did tell Xiaolan everything, but that doesn't mean I can't go out, okay? In other words, because I told her everything, Xiaolan won't ask too much about my whereabouts."

"But......"

Xiao Ai smiled and said:

"You're not going alone. What do you think your sister Xiaolan would think if we disappeared together for a night?"

"?!"

After hearing what Ai said, Conan fell silent.

It seems like that's the case? It's okay for him to stay out all night alone, but it's not okay for Xiao Ai! In Xiao Lan's eyes, Xiao Ai is just a child.

So, staying out all night with a minor, in Xiaolan's eyes...

"Well, how about you not go?"

"Then I'll go back and tell Xiaolan that you are with my sister?"

Conan was completely silent in the face of Ai's question. It seemed that no matter which one he chose, he would not have a good ending!

Looking at Conan's tangled expression, Xiao Ai smiled and shook her head:

"Okay, I'm just kidding, great detective! I'll tell Xiaolan that I'm staying at my sister's for the night. As for you, just come up with an excuse to fool Xiaolan!"

"Thanks, Ai!"

Hearing this, Conan's eyes flashed with gratitude. Then he ran to the side and called Xiaolan.

......

"Xiao Lan? Yes, it's me. I have something to do tonight, so I won't be back home! The doctor is planning to invite those kids to go camping together soon, so I'm going over to give him some advice.

Well, don't worry, nothing can happen to me.

It was just an accident! Who could have imagined such a cruel criminal? I didn't do anything, yet they hit me.

Okay, that's it, I'm hanging up now~"

After hanging up the phone, Conan gave Ai a thumbs up:

"It's done!"

Xiao Ai looked at him with a strange expression:

"Why are you so skilled!"

Conan smiled awkwardly:

"Haha, well, don't ask so many questions! Anyway, are you going to notify Xiaolan or not?"

"Of course we have to contact her, but we can't do it now! We both told her we wouldn't be back tonight, so there's obviously something fishy going on!"

Xiao Ai rolled her eyes cutely and said unhappily.

"Well, you're right. But why, after listening to you, do I always feel like we both have a guilty conscience?"

Conan said with some confusion.

He and Ai simply wanted to find Professor Hirota and get the disk containing drug information that Ai accidentally sent him. Why did it turn out like this now?

After listening to Conan, Ai suddenly realized that something was wrong. Yes, they were just going to find something, why did they feel like they were secretly doing something bad?

"Well, it's Kudo's fault after all! If it weren't for him, this problem wouldn't have happened!"

After thinking for a while, Xiao Ai finally put the blame on Conan. However, she did not say it directly. Instead, she looked at Conan who was still struggling in front of her and asked:

"These things are not important! What's important is whether or not we're going!"

"Go, of course!"

At Ai's urging, Conan gave up thinking and followed her towards Chengshi's clinic.

......

On the other side, the three little ones running towards the school also found that Conan and Huiyuan were not keeping up, so Ayumi, as Conan's number one fan girl, stopped decisively:

"Conan and Huibara haven't caught up yet. Why don't we go back and look for them?"

After seeing Ai, Mitsuhiko's heart suddenly moved and he nodded. Just when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Genta:

"No need! I just don't believe it. Without Conan, we can't complete the commission! I want him to see that even without him, we can solve the case on our own! We can't let Conan take the limelight all the time!

Don’t you think so, Mitsuhiko?”

Yuantai said proudly, and then patted Mitsuhiko on the back and asked with a smile.

"Ah? Oh, um, Genta, Genta is right."

Mitsuhiko, who originally wanted to go back with Ayumi to find a new goddess, reacted instantly after hearing Genta say that Conan should not be the only one to steal the show!

Yeah, if Conan catches up, what chance will they have to show off in the end? Wouldn't all the limelight go to Conan? And then, how will I show off my abilities in front of the goddess?

It would be better to complete the commission yourself first, and after showing your strengths, let Haibara-san see your charming side!

By then, maybe I'll have the chance to make both Haibara and Ayumi look at me with admiration!

If Conan knew what he was thinking, he would be speechless! Just look at his pockmarked face... The reason why Ayumi likes to be close to him so much is probably because of his good looks!

Seeing Genta and Mitsuhiko say this, Ayumi lowered her head a little disappointedly and followed them back to school.

As for their subsequent experiences...

First, they looked for Toshiya in the classroom, who was getting impatient and even ready to leave early. After learning about his brother's disappearance, they made up their minds to go to his house to look for some useful clues.

Then, after following Junye to his house, the two of them, not knowing how to search and organize the evidence, began to rummage around in Junye's brother's room.

However, after messing up the room, they didn't find any useful clues. And because Conan was not around, they started to make random guesses.

In fact, in their speculation, Junye's brother was most likely kidnapped overseas by a large organization to make fakes for them to replace the original paintings.

The two of them talked in a series of different ways, which scared Junye, who was already worried about his brother, and made him burst into tears.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my room? And what have you done to my brother?"

At this time, with the help of Inspector Megure, Junya's brother finally regained his freedom and returned to his home. As a result, when he returned to his room, he saw that his room was messed up by several little ghosts.

And beside them, his younger brother was crying with a look of grievance on his face.
