Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 177 Kudo Shin1?

"Hmm? What are you doing?"

While the two were talking, Maoli finished talking to Iwai and walked over. When he saw the hat on Ai's head and the slightly changed makeup, he was also stunned for a moment.

"Uncle, it's okay. Xiao Ai has recovered now."

Conan looked at Maori's eyes and smiled at him, trying to get away with it.

"Is that so? Are you sure it's okay? If not, we can leave now."

Maori glanced at Conan, nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions. However, when he looked at Ai, there was a hint of worry in his eyes, and he asked with concern.

He wasn't a fool, so how could he not know what the two of them were hiding? However, since they didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask too much.

After all, even family members have their own little secrets.

As for Conan? Even though he wasn't family, since he had helped him out before, he wouldn't pursue the matter.

"Xiao Ai?"

Hearing Maori say this, Conan turned his head to look at Xiao Ai. Indeed, going back directly is the safest way. There is no need to worry about being targeted by the organization, nor do you have to worry about other unexpected events.

As for the cases here? They're not as important as Xiao Ai! So many people go missing and die every day in the world. If he really had to take care of them, he'd be exhausted!

Besides, just because they leave doesn't mean Hattori will leave! As long as Hattori is there, this case won't be a problem.

However, facing Maori's tempting proposal, Xiao Ai shook her head firmly:

"It's okay, Uncle Maori, I can do it."

"Is that so? It's up to you to decide."

After looking at Ai, Maori nodded, then turned and whispered something to Xiaolan.

Seeing that Maori didn't notice this, Conan looked at Ai with a worried look:

"Why don't you choose to leave? It would be dangerous to stay here, wouldn't it?"

However, Xiao Ai just smiled at him:

"It will be dangerous, but I believe that you and Uncle Maori will not put me in danger, right?

Besides, since I've chosen to face them, I'll eventually have to confront them. So, of course I have to find a way to overcome my fear, right?"

Looking at Xiao Ai's smiling face, Conan was silent for a moment, then nodded:

"Well, like I said before, I will protect you."

......

This sudden accident didn't delay them for too long. When they got out of the car, Iwai came over with a worried look on his face.

"I heard that you were carsick, little sister? Are you feeling better now?"

Ai didn't answer, but just hid behind Conan and nodded slightly.

Although she wanted to overcome her fear of the organization, it took time to overcome it. Right now, she couldn't overcome the fear that was almost instinctive in her bones.

"I'm glad you're okay, kid, let's go~"

Seeing Ai nod, Iwai also stood up with a smile.

"Xiao Ai, it's okay, sister will always stand by you."

Xiaolan, who had just been given a few words of advice by Maori, also came to her with a smile, reached out to hold Xiaoai's hand, and smiled at her gently.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaolan."

Looking at Xiaolan's clear eyes, Xiaoai nodded and followed a few people into the hotel door.

With the company of several people around her, her original fear of the organization and the hotel, which she had thought was like a devil's den, returned to normal in an instant.

After entering the door, Jin Gu, the inn owner, and the others had already briefly introduced themselves and became familiar with each other.

When Maori and his companions approached, Jin Gu said to everyone present with a smile:

"Today, I have a special guest, a renowned detective who is worthy of being compared to Mr. Sherlock Holmes!"

"Hmm? Isn't this boss saying these things in the anime to help Uncle Maori out?"

Just when Conan was confused and Maori was excited, he heard Jin Gu continue to say:

"That's our famous high school detective, Mr. Kudo Shinichi!"

"!"*4

After hearing this, Conan, Ran, Ai and Hattori were all stunned.

The first three were surprised because they knew that Kudo Shinichi was Conan and it was impossible for him to appear here!

The latter is because of excitement!

"I knew I'd definitely run into Kudo here! Miss Mori, look what I'm saying."

Hattori turned his head excitedly to look at Xiaolan, but he noticed that at this moment, Xiaolan's eyes were intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Conan beside her. There was no excitement in her eyes for finally seeing her beloved, but worry and surprise.

"?"

After noticing this, Hattori was a little confused, but he didn't care too much. He just kept a little more careful about Conan.

On the other side, as Boss Kanaya finished speaking, a man walked out of the hotel room. Judging from his appearance, it was none other than Kudo Shinichi himself.

"Everyone, I'm Kudo Shinichi, nice to meet you all."

After he finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Xiaolan again:

"Xiaolan, and Uncle Maori, long time no see."

Xiaolan was silent for a moment, and then she forced a smile:

"Well, Shinichi, long time no see."

When Kudo Shinichi appeared, Ai tried to reduce her presence as much as possible and shrank behind Conan.

After seeing her condition, Conan also roughly understood what was going on. Sure enough, it was Vermouth! But why did Bayonetta come out so early?

Moreover, why did she want to disguise herself as herself and participate in this event?

Just as they fell into a subtle silence, the guy named Hu Shi suddenly spoke up:

"A high school detective? I admit, you're quite smart, but that's all! Even I can easily solve those simple cases!

As for being compared to Sherlock Holmes? That's just a title given to you by ignorant fools! To be honest, you're not even as good as Dr. Watson!
