Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

"Conan, how do you feel? Does your head still hurt? Is it because of the alcohol? I knew that detectives are not good people!"

Leading Conan to the stairs, Xiaolan spoke indignantly. She knew that all detectives in the world, except for her own Shinichi, were not good people!

Hearing this, Conan's face turned red:

"Sister Xiaolan, you're being a bit too much! Uncle and Brother Shinichi are also detectives!"

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"Indeed, I went a little too far."

Just as Conan was secretly rejoicing, Xiaolan continued to add:

"To be precise, except for Shinichi, all other detectives are basically bad! Including Dad!"

"..."

Conan was silent. So, why did Xiaolan develop such a personality? Did his little angel grow crooked?

Looking at Conan's twisted expression, Xiaolan burst out laughing:

"I'm sorry, Conan. I hope this makes you feel awkward. Just pretend I didn't say anything! But as Shinichi said, a detective who can't pay attention to the people around him is not a qualified detective!"

"?"

Conan slowly asked, "What's going on? How is this related to him? He shouldn't have done anything!"

After hesitating for a while, Conan reviewed his past memories and found that this incident really happened!

That was a long time ago.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a bad mood today?"

After school, Shinichi didn't wait for Xiaolan's response, but dragged her to the street and strolled around, asking casually while strolling.

"Huh? How did you know? Yuanzi clearly didn't notice!"

After hearing what Shinichi said, Xiaolan was stunned. She thought she had hidden it quite well. Even her best friend was fooled by her. How did Shinichi find out?

"With Yuanzi's carefree personality, if you just say you have a cold, she definitely won't notice your change in mood! But don't try to fool me!

Okay, tell me, what happened? Did the uncle make you angry again?

Kudo said with a smile.

"Is that so? Seriously, I can't fool you!"

Hearing this, Xiaolan smiled bitterly and looked at Shinichi in front of her with empty eyes:

"Shinichi, tell me, is it hard to like a detective? Dad and Mom used to be so close, but ever since Dad became a detective, their relationship seems to have become more and more distant."

Although she was looking in Kudo's direction, her empty eyes clearly showed that her mind was drifting somewhere else.

Even the question just now was more of a question to herself than to Shinichi in front of her.

Listening to Xiaolan's words, Shinichi immediately understood what had happened! Xiaolan must have tried to get her parents to reconcile yesterday, and the two ended up arguing again.

Thinking of this, Shinichi shook his head helplessly:

"That unreliable uncle, why don't you just figure out how to handle your own family affairs yourself! Why do you want Xiaolan to be afraid of being with a detective?"

Now, the boomerang has hit his head! If this kind of thing can't be handled properly, then the relationship between Xiaolan and me will be over. What an unreliable adult!

Although he thought so, he couldn't say such words. Therefore, after adjusting his words, he slowly said:

"Well, you're overthinking this! As a detective, the most important thing is observation! Take me for example! Look, when you're with me, have you ever been angry? Hardly ever, right!"

As he spoke, Shinichi secretly apologized to Uncle Mori in his heart:

"I'm sorry, uncle. I'd rather die than let my friend die! For my future happiness, it would be easier to let Xiaolan declare you an unqualified detective! At worst, I can just bring you two more bottles of wine next time."

Listening to Kudo's words, Xiaolan chuckled softly:

"Arrogant guy! All you know is bragging in front of me!"

Seeing Xiaolan finally laugh, Kudo breathed a sigh of relief, then put his hands on his chest and pretended to be heartbroken:

"Xiao Lan, how could you say that to me? Don't you know best whether I've boasted or not? We've been together for so long, and I never thought you would think of me like this. I'm so sad! Sobbing."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiaolan and winked at her.

"you!"

Seeing Kudo's behavior, Xiaolan was both angry and amused. The shadow in her heart had faded under Shinichi's attack. Instead of being sad, she wanted to deal with the boy in front of her:

"Your acting is terrible! Who would use onomatopoeia when they're sad? You really should learn some acting skills from Aunt Yukiko!"

Seeing this, Shinichi said with a playful smile:

"As for acting, it's enough to just know the basics! Why learn so much? Besides, there's no need to act so seriously among family and friends! Just be good enough! Just tell me if you're happy now!"

"Aunt Yukiko will definitely pull your ears hard when she hears your twisted logic!"

After hearing what Shinichi said, Xiaolan's heart moved. She wanted to ask whether she was a relative or a friend in the other person's heart. However, in the end, she gave up the idea. She was afraid that the result she heard would not be what she wanted.

Seeing that his temptation was so easily exposed by Xiaolan, Shinichi sighed inwardly, but on the surface he still smiled and said:

"Then why not just not let her know? Heaven and earth know, you know, I know, and that's enough!"

"Well, why should I keep it a secret for you?"

"If you don't keep this a secret for me, I'll tell her that you called her Aunt Yukiko! Then my mom will punish us both!"

Shinichi said with a shameless look.

"Shinichi! You bastard! You threatened me!"

Xiaolan stretched out her little fist in dissatisfaction and hit Shinichi. Of course, it was more like flirting than beating him. After all, if she was really angry, Shinichi would probably vomit blood by now.

"Same here, Miss Accomplice."

"Okay, it's getting late. I should go home! Otherwise, Dad will really starve!"

After playing around for a while, Xiaolan said with a smile as she looked at the setting sun.

"Okay! Bon voyage then!"

Seeing this, Shinichi no longer tried to persuade her to stay, but smiled and said to Xiaolan.

"By the way, this is for you!"

Suddenly, Shinichi seemed to have thought of something and took out a necklace from his pocket:

"I saw you were looking at this necklace for a long time, so I bought it! I guess I'm not mistaken!"

Looking at the necklace in Shinichi's hand, Xiaolan smiled brightly:

"No, you're seeing things~"

"Ah?! No way! My lifelong reputation!"

"Haha, I was just kidding! Since it's your gift, I'll accept it without hesitation! Shinichi, thank you~ You're right, a qualified detective will indeed make those around him feel warm!"
