When we arrived at the restaurant, it was quite late and there were almost no people in the restaurant.

They ordered some dishes, which were soon served. Xia Xi also went to the kitchen to help serve some. Seeing that there was nothing else to do in the restaurant, she asked Xiang Ling to sit down and eat with them.

"Wow! These dishes taste so good." Mao Lilan couldn't help but praise after tasting them.

Kogoro Mouri didn't say anything. He was really hungry and was eating voraciously.

Conan also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, those special dishes were not on the menu this time. Although the taste was good, the appearance was really weird.

Xiangling was very happy to see the customers' approval of the dishes: "Thank you for the compliment. Please come often in the future. I can cook some of the same special dishes when I'm free. Since you know Lu, ahem, Xia Xi, I can give you a discount."

Mao Lilan nodded repeatedly: "Such a delicious restaurant, we will definitely visit it often."

Conan noticed that Xiangling sometimes called Xia Xi by the wrong name. Although she quickly corrected it, he could still hear that it was not Xia Xi's name that she called at first, as if Xia Xi had another name that she was more familiar with.

And he always had a feeling that there was some connection between Xiangling and Lisa.

"Oh! I forgot there's soup in the pot. I'll go get it now." Xiangling suddenly remembered that the soup hadn't been served yet, so she stood up hurriedly. The jewelry on her waist hit the table with a crisp collision sound.

Conan subconsciously looked at the jewelry on Xiangling's waist, and suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to look at the necklace on Lisa's chest - yes, Xiangling and Lisa both have similar jewelry, there must be some connection between them.

Conan met Xiangling and Lisa a few days apart, and the colors and frames of their jewelry were different, so he didn't make the connection at first. But when he saw them together today, he could tell that they were from the same series of jewelry - beads of different colors but slightly transparent, with a faint pattern inside. Conan had a hunch that this pattern had a special meaning, and wanted to first see what the pattern inside the beads on Lisa's necklace was.

Conan didn't notice that Maori Ran's expression became increasingly darker as she watched him staring at Lisa's chest. Finally, she couldn't help but hit Conan on the head, "Conan, where are you looking at? You haven't been with some lecherous uncle for too long, have you, and he taught you some bad things?" Maori Ran asked with a kind expression.

Maori Kogoro was dissatisfied after hearing this: "How can this have anything to do with me? Besides, this kid is precocious, maybe he was born to be a pervert." He put down his chopsticks, finally filling his stomach a little and wanting to drink, so he asked Xiangling who had just brought the soup, "Boss, do you have any wine?"

When Mao Lilan heard that Mao Li Kogoro wanted to drink, she didn't care about continuing to educate Conan for a moment, and turned to stop her father, "Dad, don't drink so late, you will have a headache the next day."

Before Maori Kogoro could refute, he heard Xiangling say that there was no wine in the store, and he collapsed in his chair in disappointment.

Seeing that her father was no longer likely to drink, Mao Lilan turned around and prepared to continue educating Conan.

Conan saw Xiaolan looking at him again and hurriedly explained, "Sister Xiaolan, I was just looking at Sister Lisa's necklace. I just thought the beads on Sister Lisa's necklace were very special, so I kept staring at it. I was not looking at... at, um... that." Conan scratched his head and explained to Xiaolan with his innocent eyes wide open.

"Really?" Mao Lilan actually believed it. Of course, Conan was just a kid, what did he know? It was all because of his father's inappropriate behavior that made him think wrongly.

"Yeah," Conan nodded repeatedly.

Mao Lilan's expression softened. She touched Conan's head and said apologetically, "Conan, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. But you have to be careful in the future. Don't stare at girls like that." At the end, she couldn't help but educate Conan. She didn't want Conan to become like her father in the future.

Mao Lilan then apologized to Lisa.

"It's okay. It's normal for children to like beautiful beads." Lisa picked up the necklace in front of her chest with one hand and looked at it for a while.

Mao Lilan looked at the necklace in Lisa's hand. It was purple, a beautiful color. It looked noble and mysterious. The pattern inside was vague and unclear, but for some reason it reminded her of the fleeting purple light in lightning during a summer rainstorm.

Lisa glanced at Xiaolan, reached out to take off the necklace and handed it to her, "Xiaolan is also interested? Want to see it?"

Mao Lilan carefully took the necklace that was handed to her, "Hey? Is it okay? This should be very valuable."

It was taken off so easily?

Conan originally thought that Lisa would be very careful with the necklace, but she handed the necklace to someone else so easily. Isn't this important?

No, Conan still believes in his own judgment that this necklace must hold a secret.

Conan approached the necklace in Ran's hand and observed the beads on her necklace. He could see a three-magatama symbol in the beads, which also looked like lightning. The border of the beads looked like wings. He remembered that the border of the beads on Xiangling's waist seemed to be square. What was the meaning of the different borders of Lisa's and Xiangling's beads? And what did the pattern inside represent? Lightning? Magatama?

Lisa took a sip of her drink and smiled nonchalantly, "Oh, it's just a glass bead. I wear it all the time just because it has some special meaning. It's not valuable in itself."

Mao Lilan/Conan was surprised: "Glass beads?!"
