Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 239 Hongzi's Visit

There is nothing much to say about what happened next. Although the atmosphere in this house was very strange, it had nothing to do with Conan and Yukiko. The two of them enjoyed a delicious dinner.

"Ah, I'm full, full!"

After eating and drinking, Yukiko touched her belly contentedly and gave Guangmei a thumbs up:

"As expected, hot pot is something that should be eaten together!"

"Haha, Yukiko, as long as you're satisfied."

Looking at Yukiko's expression, Guangmei said with a smile. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something:

"By the way, Yukiko, I'm going to prepare bath water for everyone now. Could you please help test the water temperature?"

"Okay~ Conan, come together~"

Having said that, Yukiko pulled Conan directly towards the bathroom.

"Huh? Wait..."

Conan was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang:

"Mom, wait, someone called me."

As he said that, he broke free from Yukiko's arms, took out his phone and answered it.

"Hey?"

"Great Detective, your case has been exposed~"

Xiao Ai's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a clear hint of ridicule in her tone.

"?"

However, her unclear words made Conan confused. What happened? How come he didn't know what he had done?

Thinking of this, Conan asked directly:

"What happened to me?"

"Huh? Don't you know? Some people have come straight to the office to find you!"

After hearing what Ai said, Conan was even more confused. No, it seems that the only two people who went to the office to look for Kudo were Akagi Quantum and Hattori Heiji! Didn't the story with these two people already pass by?

Why are there still people going to the office to look for him now?

"No, can you be more specific? Who went to the office looking for me? Was it me or Kudo Shinichi?"

"Of course I'm looking for you! If I heard correctly, she seems to call herself Koizumi Hongzi."

As Ai finished speaking, Conan froze in his tracks. Oh my goodness, Koizumi Akiko? Why did she come looking for him? Wait, she seemed to have said she was coming to look for him a few days ago! So this was all his fault?

But how did she find the agency?

At this time in the office, Koizumi Hongzi looked at the girl in front of her who looked very similar to Aoko, and who had been glaring at her angrily after hearing that she was looking for Conan, and felt a little funny.

She had never seen Aoko with such an expression before, so when she saw someone who looked almost the same as Aoko with such a cute expression, she almost couldn't help but take a few photos of Xiaolan.

"Tell Qingzi later that her father has an illegitimate daughter. Her expression will be very interesting~"

Thinking of this, Hongzi restrained herself a little and stretched out her hand towards Xiaolan:

"You must be Maori-san, hello. Conan has mentioned you to me. Please take care of me."

"Hello, Ms. Koizumi. May I ask what you are here to see Conan about?"

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of her, Xiaolan's heart was alarmed! Could this be Shinichi's 'real' affair? From what she said, she ran all the way from Ekoda to find Conan. Could it be that...

"No, no, trust Shinichi. I must have misunderstood!"

Although Xiaolan tried hard to ignore the thoughts in her mind, she still felt a little confused when she saw the woman in front of her whose face was no worse than hers, and even she herself vaguely felt a hint of charm, coupled with her burgundy hair color that was very eye-catching at first glance.

"Well, I didn't come to find him, he took the initiative to invite me over~"

Looking at the girl in front of her who was baring her teeth and claws at her like a kitten guarding its food, wanting to know her purpose, Hongzi covered the corner of her mouth, laughed and teased.

She didn't lie. After all, she came to Mika only after receiving Conan's invitation. However, she didn't tell Conan why he invited her.

"! You said you were invited by the new... Conan? But why did he ask you to come here? Did he also tell you the address of the office?!"

After hearing Hongzi's words, Xiaolan was in a state of panic and almost told Conan about his situation. Fortunately, she managed to hold back the name in time.

"Yeah, Conan invited me here~"

Seeing Xiaolan's panic, Hongzi once again regretted not bringing her camera. She really wanted to take a few photos of Xiaolan and bring them back to show Qingzi!

As for how she knew the office's location, it was simple; she didn't even need divination. She could sense the faint aura of death the moment she got off the train.

As long as she followed the source of the death energy, she easily found the residence. Although she was not sure if she had found the right place at first, looking at Xiaolan's expression, she knew very well that she had found the right place.

However, she would never tell Xiaolan these things. On the one hand, it was because she didn't know how much she knew, and on the other hand, Xiaolan's expression when she was protecting her food was really cute!

'But then again, it's no wonder that this place is home to that monster. This girl is incredibly lucky! With this kind of luck, basically everything she does will go smoothly!'

If I hadn't needed her, I would have taken her back as a mascot! Then, no matter what rare resources I want, it will be easy to get!

However, watching the light emanating from Xiaolan through her elemental vision, Hongzi felt as if she were about to be blinded! Could this girl be the darling of the world? The luck she exuded was almost comparable to the deathly aura radiating from Conan.

"Ms. Hongzi, I didn't invite you here so you can make fun of my family and friends! If you make fun of Xiaolan again, believe it or not, I will come to your house again next time!"

At this moment, Haibara came to the office with her cell phone. After turning on the speakerphone, Conan's helpless voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No, I give up!"

Just as Xiaolan was looking at her phone angrily and thinking to herself that going to her house was no threat, Hongzi unexpectedly raised her hands above her head with an attitude of "I'm scared, don't mess with me."

"Eh?"

After seeing this scene, not only Xiaolan, but even Xiaoai felt that her brain was a little confused. No, when did visiting someone's home become a means of intimidation?

"So, how much do they know?"

Ignoring the two's doubts, Hongzi asked Conan on the other end of the phone. She wanted to know how much she should explain to them.

"Aside from Uncle Maori, Xiaolan and Xiaoai are all aware of the relationship between you and me."

Conan said helplessly.

"Is that so? That's fine then. As for that uncle you mentioned, he was already captivated by my beauty the moment I came in. Oh, oh, oh, oh~"

"That pervert uncle!"

After hearing Hongzi's words, Conan's mouth twitched and he said helplessly:

"Okay, stop joking with Xiaolan. Be careful or she might get angry and punch you."

"I'm just an ordinary person, I can handle it~"

Ignoring Xiaolan who was shouting in embarrassment, "I won't hit anyone", Hongzi said with a smile.

"If you think your body is stronger than a concrete pillar, then go ahead."

After saying that, Conan hung up the phone, leaving Hongzi in silence.

At this moment, Hongzi felt that the cold sweat on her forehead was about to flow down. She swallowed and looked at Xiaoai beside her.

After receiving a positive answer from Ai, she looked at Kogoro Mouri who was lying on the ground with a look of horror.

She had thought that this lecherous uncle was only knocked down by Xiaolan because he was too weak. Unexpectedly, after taking such a terrifying blow, he just fainted? Sure enough, this family is full of supermen!
