On the possibility of Gin's younger brother taking his older brother away

"Sister Xiaolan~"

Conan pinched his throat, pushed open Poirot's door and walked in.

Mao Lilan heard the voice and turned her head to look over, and said with a smile: "Conan, you are back."

Suzuki Sonoko poked her head out from beside her and greeted her with a smile: "The little devil is back."

So the garden is there.

Only then did Conan notice Suzuki Sonoko and touched his nose in disappointment.

The young man sitting opposite was wearing glasses with brown frames, his long hair was scattered on his shoulders, and he was wearing a simple white shirt, exuding a subtle feeling between youthfulness and maturity.

At this moment, he looked at the child who suddenly appeared with curiosity.

"Who is this big brother?" Conan sat next to Mouri Ran naturally.

Suzuki Sonoko introduced enthusiastically: "He is someone that Lan and I just met. Because we helped him a little, he invited us to sit in Poirot."

"Is that so?" Conan immediately lost interest.

Mao Lilan introduced: "This is Edogawa Conan, a child who lives in my house."

The young man opposite stood up and held out his hand to Conan: "Hello little brother, I'm Akiyama Jin."

Formation! Gin!

Conan looked up suddenly, his mouth half open in surprise at the syllable.

He stretched out his hand blankly and shook it.

Chihara Aki smiled gently and said, "Please give me more advice in the future, Edogawa-kun."

"Please...give me more advice, what do you mean?" Conan asked stutteringly, still not recovered from the shock.

"Because Mr. Akiyama just moved nearby, he will be our neighbor in the future," explained Mao Lilan.

Suzuki Sonoko continued, "We just helped with the moving, and that's why we were invited here for dessert."

"This is the first time I've done these things myself, so I was a little flustered. I'm sorry to embarrass you." Qian Yuanqiu scratched his face embarrassedly.

Moved nearby, and Gin is in the name...

Conan also knew that this person was not Gin, but he couldn't help but think more about it.

"Big brother, why did you move here?" Conan turned into a curious baby and asked with his big eyes blinking.

Qian Yuanqiu said with some embarrassment:

"To be honest, I'm a recent college graduate. I was kicked out by my family and had to find a job on my own. The real estate agent recommended a very cheap house to me nearby."

"So that's how it is." Conan dispelled his doubts and lost interest in Akiyama Jin.

"I didn't expect to meet two such warm-hearted and kind ladies when I first arrived here. It seems that everyone in this street is easy to get along with."

Qian Yuanqiu made a relieved expression and said thankfully:

"To be honest, it was my first time to make a living outside, and I was quite worried about getting along with my neighbors."

"Really? You're not from Tokyo?" Suzuki Sonoko asked with interest, holding one side of her face with her hands clasped together.

"Well, my hometown is Kyoto." Qian Yuanqiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said affectionately.

Mao Lilan said curiously, "Huh? I can't hear the Kyoto accent at all."

"Because I have to make a living in Tokyo anyway." Chihara Aki said, appropriately showing her yearning for future life.

Conan was speechless and interrupted the conversation: "Nanna, has big brother moved yet?"

"Oh, sorry, it's getting late. I have to go back and pack my things. Goodbye everyone."

Qian Yuanqiu looked as if he had suddenly realized something after being reminded, and said goodbye apologetically.

Watching the young man leave in a panic, Suzuki Sonoko smiled maliciously: "How about it, Lan, this one is also very good."

This guy Yuanzi!

Conan didn't expect that after sending away the guy he disliked, someone else would try to steal his girl away.

"Really, Sonoko, what are you talking about?" Mao Lilan felt helpless that her good friend was always so out of touch.

"Hehe." Suzuki Sonoko laughed slyly, "Anyway, that guy is gone."

"Ah, ah, Sonoko-sister." Conan had a hunch that something was wrong and quickly said, "Shinichi-niang is just too busy."

"Huh? Did I mention that guy's name?" Suzuki Sonoko's voice was filled with anger.

At this time, Conan stepped forward and ran into the gun. She said with a wry smile: "What do you know, little brat? You've always been speaking for that stinky detective!"

"Because, because..."

Conan was unable to explain and turned to look at Mao Li Ran.

The latter looked obviously lonely.

Noticing Conan being embarrassed, she quickly tried to smooth things over: "Okay, Sonoko, Conan doesn't know what to do."

"Humph."

Suzuki Sonoko turned her head away angrily and clenched her fists at the air: "I'll teach Kudo a lesson when he comes back!"

Mao Lilan nodded and calmed her friend.

Conan lowered his head to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

Several people left the Poirot Café one after another and went their separate ways at the door.

After returning home, Kogoro Mori was drinking and watching Yoko Okino's TV series.

"Why are you back so late today?"

Mao Lilan packed her school bag and clothes and answered as she sorted them out, "Sonoko and I helped a college graduate who had just moved nearby. He had tea at Poirot to repay us."

"I just happened to run into Sister Xiaolan and was with them." Conan added with a smile.

Maori Kogoro frowned: "Just moved here? How come I didn't know there were people renting houses nearby?"

"I don't know about that. He said he was introduced by an agent." Mao Lilan said thoughtfully with her fingers on her cheek.

"I remember the house I just rented out..."

The scene in the TV series just reached its climax when Kogoro Mouri suddenly lost interest and hugged the TV screaming.

"Ms. Yoko~"

He stopped talking halfway, which made Mao Lilan very angry. She interrupted her father's fandom loudly: "Dad!"

Kogoro Mori was immersed in the beauty and did not react at all.

Today, someone made Mao Lilan feel very bad. She was silent for a moment and returned to her room angrily.

"You guys take care of yourselves for dinner today."

"Huh?" Kogoro Mouri didn't understand what he had done to make his daughter angry, and looked back in surprise.

Conan had just been scolded by Suzuki Sonoko today, and he felt full of guilt and sat obediently on the sofa.

In the end, Kogoro Mouri and Conan each took a rice ball and finished their dinner.

He looked at his daughter's closed door and realized his mistake belatedly.

After Conan finished eating the rice ball, he cleaned up the debris and knocked on Mouri Ran's door with the hot instant noodles.

Although Mao Lilan was angry, it was only for a moment. She looked at the sensible Conan embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry for scaring you."

"It's okay, Sister Xiaolan."

Conan's well-behaved appearance reminded Ran Mouri of her disappointing father.

"As for that drunkard, just leave him alone."

Kogoro Mouri, who was standing at the door and eavesdropping, had already realized his mistake. He kept rubbing his hands and felt uneasy.

Ran Mao Li took Conan's hand and walked out of the room with noodles.

Let out a tsundere 'humph' as ​​you pass by someone.

Maori Kogoro scratched his head and said, "Ran, I remember. The only house for rent nearby seems to be No. 33 in Go-chome. Because someone died a month ago, it has not been rented out."

Conan immediately responded when he heard the key words: "Who is the dead person?"

"It seems that the previous tenant was killed at home."

Mao Lilan closed her eyes and sat at the dining table, pretending not to care.

Conan noticed the situation at this time and continued:

"Doesn't that mean that the unscrupulous middleman deceived Brother Akiyama? He doesn't seem to know about the murder."

"Sister Xiaolan, let's go to Brother Akiyama's house tomorrow. It's better for him to know about this kind of thing in advance."

"Okay." Mao Lilan said as she walked down the stairs, "We'll go tell him tomorrow."
