Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Although it has been a while since the Bandage Monster case, Xiaolan is still thinking about this case.

Although the overall incident was not as bloody as in the original novel, judging from the results, this incident was even more serious than in the original novel.

In the original novel, Chikako's death was the end of everything, but here, although she is still alive, she has to face the pressure of life, the condemnation of society, and the contrast of falling from heaven to hell.

Of course, none of this mattered to Ran. She wasn't particularly interested in the case. The only thing she cared about was what both Sonoko and Conan had said in the villa: "She needs to change."

Although a long time has passed, she still has some doubts in her heart:

"What's wrong with my personality? And what can I do to improve it?"

If Conan knew the dilemma in Xiaolan's heart, he would probably feel helpless.

In fact, to be honest, there is no big problem with the angel Xiaolan's personality. The only thing that needs to be changed is that she should be more assertive.

Even though doing so may lead to more condemnation in the future or a physical punishment from Xiaolan, Conan does not want to see Xiaolan become an appendage of Kudo Shinichi.

He also hopes that Xiaolan can show her own style like her mother.

Of course, he doesn't know this now, and Xiaolan is not planning to tell Conan about this.

Earlier in the villa, the answers given by both Sonoko and Conan had been somewhat enlightening to her, but not very profound. She still had many things she couldn't figure out.

"Since Shinichi and Sonoko's answers aren't enough to give me a clear direction, should I look for someone else..."

Thinking of this, Xiaolan looked at the other people in the office.

At this time, Maori was sleeping soundly on his desk, muttering something in his dream.

Xiaolan leaned over and listened to what Uncle Maori said, and the veins on her forehead bulged:

"Well, I want more! I can drink more!"

Well, there's nothing I can do. When Xiaolan was here, although I kept a close eye on her, she was my own daughter after all, and sometimes I still felt sorry for her.

Xiaolan simply turned a blind eye to his occasional secret drink of wine, pretending not to see it.

But after Xiaolan left and entrusted the job to Xiaoai, his good days were over.

Originally, Maori thought that it was just a little kid and he could just deal with him casually. As a result, he underestimated how serious Ai was.

Whenever he opened a beer or picked up a cigarette in the office, Xiao Ai would suddenly appear beside him and snatch the beer and cigarette from his hands.

When Xiaolan saw that Xiaoai managed better than herself, she directly delegated power and gave the task of looking after Maori to Xiaoai.

In short, Uncle Maori can only taste the taste of beer in his dreams.

(Doctor: I'm finally free!)

......

Looking at Maori sleeping soundly in front of her, although Xiaolan was very annoyed, she finally gave up the idea of ​​waking him up by force.

"Forget it, let Dad have a good rest."

Thinking of this, Xiaolan looked at the others.

Conan passed. I have asked for his opinion before, but he didn't offer any valuable suggestions.

(Conan: I'd like to mention it, but Sonoko is here. Can I even say it directly?! Stupid Ran!)

Ai... I'll pass it too.

Looking at Ai, who was sitting next to her like a little adult, flipping through a fashion magazine, Xiaolan gave up the idea.

Even Sonoko couldn't offer any constructive insights, let alone little Ai.

Although she always looks mature, whenever she sees Mingmei, her childish behavior is most suitable for her age.

Well, although Xiaolan is very angry about the fact that she is not as good as Mingmei in terms of sister power.

"If everyone in the office can't help, what else can we do?"

Taking out her phone and looking at the number on it, Xiaolan hesitated for a moment and walked out of the room cautiously.

As Xiaolan left, Xiaoai glanced at the closed door and whispered:

"Your girlfriend seems to be very worried lately. Is that okay?"

Although on the surface she didn't care about Xiaolan's situation, Xiaoai couldn't help but feel a little bit of affection for this gentle and kind girl.

However, she absolutely cannot call her "sister"! This is the last bit of her self-esteem as Miyano Shiho! She is not like Conan, who is born to use his age advantage to act cute!

"She should be fine, she's probably just getting angry with herself. But this isn't a solution. I'll find some time to have a good chat with Xiaolan."

Conan also noticed that Xiaolan's mood was a little off, but she had only been a little absent-minded for a few days, and her performance was not very obvious. Therefore, Conan did not pay too much attention to it.

It wasn't until today that Conan confirmed that Xiaolan seemed to be in some trouble.

Although her silence may mean that she doesn't want to say it, her unwillingness to speak doesn't mean that I can't ask! Sometimes, as a person, you still need to be a little shameless.

Well, Conan said that if he had any respect, he would not have cut off ties with Ai until now.

"Anyway, it's good for you to know. I'm just saying it. Xiaolan is a good person, don't let her down."

Looking at the magazine in her hand, Xiao Ai said without raising her head.

Although her feelings for Conan are complicated and strange, she doesn't want to make Xiaolan sad.

"What about you?"

Looking at Ai's profile, Conan wanted to ask this, but he held it back. Well, let's brush up on her favorability first.

Just then, Xiaolan walked in from outside. The confusion on her face seemed to have disappeared, and her mood seemed to be much better.

"It seems that the problem has been solved? However, I still need to ask again when I have time."

Looking at Xiaolan's expression, Conan thought silently in his heart.
