Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 27 Confrontation
Listening to the whispers of his classmates around him, Lin Xiuyi quickly understood why Kiyoshi Eri was elected.

There are three people running for the position of study committee member, all of them are girls.

Although Kisaki Eri is not very active in class, wears an old-fashioned ponytail and glasses that cover most of her face, her beautiful face cannot be concealed.

In addition, she passed the Teitan entrance examination with the highest score.

Compared to her, the other two girls running for election are much more ordinary. It is normal that the classmates would vote for Kisaki Eri.

After the study committee, it is time to elect the class monitor.

A total of six students ran for the election. After one round of voting, only Hayashi Shuichi and Fujimine Yukiko were left with the same number of votes.

"The monitor's job is very important," Mr. Murakami clapped his hands. "Please don't mind the trouble, please vote again."

Another vote was held, and the number of votes for Hayashi Shuichi and Fujimine Yukiko was still the same.

Yukiko Fujimine is beautiful and lively, and is very popular among boys. Most of those who voted for her are boys, even Kogoro Mori is among them. He even said that he knew that Shuichi Hayashi did not want to be the class monitor, so he voted for Yukiko Fujimine.

On Lin Xiuyi's side, it was the opposite. Most of the people who voted for him were female classmates.

Perhaps it was because of the incident in the gym yesterday, coupled with his good looks, that he, a less active boy in the class, became very popular among the girls.

"Let's vote again," Mr. Murakami said helplessly.

The results of the third vote came out quickly. Among the 32 people in the class, Hayashi Shuichi and Fujimine Yukiko still received half the votes each.

"Why is the number of votes the same again..." Teacher Murakami looked at the word "正" on the blackboard used to count votes with a headache.

Lin Xiuyi really didn't want to be the squad leader. In his opinion, it was just a child's playful position with little power and a lot of things to do.

Seeing that the homeroom teacher was in a dilemma, Lin Xiuyi was about to raise his hand to give up, but he didn't expect that as soon as he moved his arm, he was held down by Fei Yingli: "You are not allowed to give up!"

"You know I don't want to be the class monitor. If it weren't for Kogoro..."

Lin Xiu was interrupted by Princess Eri just when he was halfway through his words.
"I don't care, you can't give up! You can't lose to her!"

Huh? What do you mean you can't lose to her?
Lin Xiuyi was puzzled by what he heard. Maori Kogoro turned around and advised: "Shuiyi, the three of us have always been together. Eri and I have been chosen, so you can't run away."

"Is it any use saying this now?" Hibiki snorted in dissatisfaction, "Traitor!"

In her opinion, if Maori Kogoro had not voted for Fujimine Yukiko three times, Lin Shuichi would have won long ago.

"I, I didn't expect it to be like this," Kogoro Mouri laughed awkwardly.

Fujimine Yukiko, who was sitting next to Hayashi Shuichi, naturally also heard the conversation between the three.

She didn't know that the application submitted by Lin Xiuyi for the class position election was written by Maori Kogoro, and she thought that Lin Xiuyi wanted to be a "gentleman" and "generous" and give up because he saw that the game was tied.

"Tsk, I don't want you to give in!" Yukiko Fujimine curled her lips, then suddenly raised her hand, not knowing what she thought of.

"Is there anything wrong, Fujimine-san?" asked Mr. Murakami.

"Teacher, since he and I have the same number of votes, why don't we use other methods to decide the winner," Fujimine Yukiko said, standing up.

"Other methods?" Mr. Murakami was stunned.

"Isn't Lin-kun good at reasoning? Let's use this to decide the winner," Fujimine Yukiko suggested, "This weekend, teacher, you hide something somewhere in the school and give us a clue. Next week when school starts, whoever finds it first will be the class monitor." After she proposed this idea, the classmates who were eager to watch the fun immediately started to make a fuss and urged the head teacher to agree.

What a lousy idea! It's the weekend, and you want me to come to school to work overtime!
Teacher Murakami wailed inwardly, but seeing that Fujimine Yukiko's method had the support of the entire class, she, having just graduated and not much experience in dealing with students, could only nod helplessly and said with a smile on her face, "Okay, teacher, I'll work overtime this weekend!"

Seeing that the head teacher agreed with her method, Yukiko Fujimine immediately became proud.

She straightened her slender neck, held her chin high, and looked at Lin Xiuyi with her blue eyes full of confidence and said, "I will definitely not lose to you in this election for class monitor!"

Hey, you're driving the teacher crazy...

Lin Xiuyi was speechless. As a former worker, how could he not hear the resentment in the teacher's words?

He estimated that if he proposed a method that did not require overtime, Mr. Murakami might directly appoint him as the class monitor.

……

After the class meeting, the judo club temporarily stopped its activities and the library would close early on Friday. With nowhere to go, Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki went back with Shuichi Hayashi.

The three of them were chatting on their way back. When they passed an intersection, Lin Xiuyi inadvertently looked up at the rearview mirror.

This device is installed at intersections to expand the driver's field of vision, allowing him to detect vehicles and pedestrians on the opposite side of the curve early, thereby reducing traffic accidents.

But Lin Xiuyi saw a figure that shouldn't appear behind them.

Seeing his friend suddenly stop, Maori Kogoro asked in surprise: "What's wrong, Shuichi?"

Lin Xiuyi said with a strange look on his face, "A rat is following us."

"mouse?"

Kisaki Eri didn't react for a moment and thought he was talking about a real mouse. She quickly grabbed Lin Xiuyi's arm and hid behind him.

"Where's the mouse?" Maori Kogoro looked around in confusion. When he looked behind him, he called out in surprise, "Fujimine-san, are you going home this way too?"

Fujimine Yukiko?
Kisaki Eri looked up at the rearview mirror and saw the "rat" in Hayashi Shuichi's mouth.

She let go of Lin Xiuyi, turned around and frowned and asked, "Why are you taking this road too?"

Fujimine Yukiko tilted her head slightly, tapped her fair chin with her slender fingers, and said with a lovely expression: "I'm going this way, of course I'm going home."

"Your home is not in this direction," Hibiki Eri directly exposed the other party's lie.

"I want to take a detour, but a short walk isn't an option," Fujimine Yukiko complained. "Or is it that the government has set regulations that prohibit me from taking this route?"

Kisaki Eri was instantly speechless and could only turn around angrily and ignore the other person.

Hayashi Shuichi and Maori Kogoro stood by, looking at the two people arguing with confusion.

"When did their relationship become so bad?" Kogoro Mouri asked in a low voice.

"How should I know!" Lin Xiuyi was also puzzled. "Maybe... both of them are on their periods?"
