Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

He did what he said and called Xiaolan directly that night.

"Hello? Shinichi? Why are you calling? If you have any questions, can't you just talk to me in person?"

Looking at the number on the other end of the phone, Xiaolan asked in surprise.

It's not like before, when she didn't know Shinichi's identity. Now, she already knows his identity. Can't she just say it directly to his face? Why waste all these phone bills!

"Haha, well, it always feels a bit awkward to talk to you face to face, so it's better to talk on the phone."

Conan had a look of embarrassment on his face.

After all, he is only in the body of a child. If he uses this body to stand in front of Xiaolan and talk to her, he doesn't know how Xiaolan feels, but Conan said that he always has a very strange feeling.

"Uh, ha, that's right!"

After hearing Conan's words, Xiaolan thought about it for a while. The picture of Conan standing in front of her, not even as tall as she was sitting, and wanting to have a heart-to-heart talk with her made the corners of her mouth twitch involuntarily.

Indeed, that kind of scene feels awkward just thinking about it.

"Well, so, what's the matter with you calling?"

Forcing herself to forget what had just happened, Xiaolan asked the person on the other end of the phone.

"Nothing, I just feel that your mood seems a little off these days, so I want to ask what you've been struggling with recently."

Conan asked with a smile.

"Huh? Was I that obvious?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan was stunned for a moment and reached out to touch her face. Although she was not very good at acting, it shouldn't be that obvious!

"It's mainly because your emotions today are too obvious! Ai and I are all very worried about you.

"Besides, what were you doing when you went out? Why did you seem to be in a much better mood after you came back? So, has the problem been solved?"

"That's not true."

There was a hint of regret in Xiaolan's voice:

"However, I know someone who should be able to solve my inner doubts. I have already made an appointment with her, and I will go talk to her tomorrow. As for what the problem is? Stupid Shinichi, aren't you a detective? Just guess it yourself. I won't tell you!"

"she?"

Listening to Xiaolan's words, Conan seemed to have guessed something. However, since Xiaolan was unwilling to speak, he did not continue to ask, but just nodded:

"Is that so? Okay, I get it. Anyway, I'm glad you're okay. If you encounter any problems you can't figure out next time, or if you encounter some difficulties, you can always tell me. After all, we live together now~"

After hearing Conan's last words, Xiaolan's originally happy face turned red:

"Idiot Shinichi! What nonsense are you talking about? Shame on you!"

After saying that, before Conan could react, Xiaolan hung up the phone in a hurry, leaving Conan alone, holding the phone with an innocent look on his face:

"? I didn't say anything wrong, did I? Why are you suddenly shy, Xiaolan?"

Unable to figure out the reason, Conan shook his head helplessly, put away the phone and returned to the office.

"!"

When Xiaolan saw Conan, her face immediately turned red, she lowered her head and walked towards her room. Conan didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Did you make her angry?"

Ai, who saw this scene, looked at Conan and teased him.

"I don't know? I didn't say anything special!"

Thinking about what he had just said, Conan was also confused.

"But never mind, Xiaolan's problem will probably be solved soon, so let's go to bed early."

"..."

Listening to Conan's unconscious words that made her a little embarrassed, Xiao Ai's ears turned red. However, she still nodded with forced composure and followed Conan towards the room.

......

The next morning, Xiaolan got up early and tiptoed out of the room. After looking at Conan and the other two who were still resting, she breathed a sigh of relief, then opened the door and walked out of the office.

As Xiaolan left, Conan and Ai, who were lying in the quilt, also opened their eyes.

"Your girlfriend ran away secretly, why don't you go after her?"

"Need not!"

Conan shook his head, looking at the scene before him, and made a rough guess:

"Xiaolan, you should go to see Aunt Hime Eri!"

Although I don't know what Xiaolan is wondering about, the only person who can answer her confusion and needs to be contacted in advance, and who doesn't want Uncle Mori to know, should be Eri Kisaki.

As for the case? He didn't need to get involved in this case! The murderer simply hid the murder weapon in his own hand. As long as Megure and the others were a little more careful during the search, they would definitely be able to catch that guy.

Besides, even if Megure and the others really became super ghosts suddenly, isn't Eri Kisaki still there? I believe that Lawyer Kisaki can also find the truth hidden by the murderer!

"Is that so? It's your own business anyway, just make your own decision."

Seeing that Conan probably guessed something, Ai turned her head and closed her eyes.

"Don't worry, I trust Xiaolan. If she really encounters any problems, she will tell me!"

However, despite this, Conan still put on his glasses. Trust is trust, but he still needs to confirm whether it is the situation he guessed.

Although he did not install a bug, he did secretly put a transmitter on Xiaolan's body. As long as he wanted, he could find out Xiaolan's location at any time.

As Conan watched the red dot representing Xiaolan gradually move, a map of the surrounding area automatically appeared in his mind.

Finally, Conan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the red dot representing Xiaolan appear on the commercial street, where a coffee shop was located.

Sure enough, it is very likely that Xiaolan is going to see Hime Eri.

This was a good thing. It would save him some trouble and he wouldn't have to show off in front of Inspector Megure. It should at least improve his status as a Death God in Megure's eyes.

However, Conan didn't know that the events in the original book did not happen in the cafe.

I don’t know if it was because the time was wrong or because Conan himself did not appear, but in short, neither the deceased nor the murderer named Donoyama appeared.

Perhaps, one day in the future, they will appear in another suitable scene. However, in short, Conan's idea of ​​washing away the label of "Death God" on himself has not been successful after all.
