Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

"Hey, Lantian, Sonoko asked Conan and me to go to her mountain villa to play and meet some new friends. She asked me if you want to go..."

Inside the Maori Detective Agency, Xiaolan was holding up her cell phone and whispering softly into the receiver. The sunlight shone through the window onto her, creating a beautiful scene.

When Hua Lantian on the other end of the phone heard the two keywords "villa in the mountains" and "garden", he immediately felt a surge of anticipation in his heart.

He knew that this event would likely bring him some interesting things. More importantly, it would finally give him a chance to further strengthen his relationship with Ayako. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Hua Lantian couldn't help but smile as he recalled his past experiences. Not long ago, he had joined Professor Agasa and the Juvenile Suicide Squad on a treasure hunt, successfully helping the police defeat those nasty robbers. This time, Conan shouldn't be in his way—after all, he had saved him many times before.

Thinking of this, Hua Lantian became more and more excited. He couldn't wait to throw himself into this adventure full of known and unspoken things, and at the same time, he was looking forward to spending more wonderful time with Ayako.

"Of course that's great! I'd love to go. Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow and we'll go together..."

Hua Lantian hurriedly hung up the phone and began to prepare nervously and orderly. Xiaolan on the other end of the phone didn't even have time to say goodbye, and all she could hear was a burst of rapid, beeping tones, which made her feel a little embarrassed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times...

Back to Hua Lantian, he packed his luggage quickly and methodically, then turned and came to Ma Chengshi who was resting at home.

I briefly explained the situation to him and told him to be ready to go to the villa address to pick me up at any time, and to contact the police to come along.

Hua Lantian didn't want to interfere too much with Takahashi Ryoichi's actions, but he wouldn't sit idly by either. After all, although Takahashi's revenge was understandable, if he allowed it to continue, it would likely hurt the people around him.

Therefore, Hua Lantian decided to take action. He could not let Takahashi Ryoichi do whatever he wanted, but he also had to protect the people around him from harm.

The next day came quickly. Hua Lantian got up early as an exception and prepared a sumptuous breakfast for Ma Chengshi and Zhu Fushimi.

After all, it won't be long before I let these two grown men go. I should serve them while I can. Those poor guys don't even know that Hua Lantian is planning to forget about his brothers once he gets a wife?

Without calling the two people, he quietly went out, then drove the Jeep he had bought earlier and went to the Mori Detective Agency in Beika-cho 5-chome.

“Ding, ding…!”

He honked the horn a few times, but still no one responded. He had no choice but to get out of the car and walk to Maori Kogoro's house on the third floor, "Knock, knock, knock...!"

"I'm coming, who are you? The Mouri Detective Agency isn't open yet, so you might have to wait a while...!"

Xiaolan's voice came from inside, accompanied by footsteps getting closer and closer.

"It's me, Xiaolan. I'm here to pick you up... Oh, sorry, it seems a little too early, hahaha. I haven't been out and about for a long time. I'm a little excited. Sorry...!"

Hua Lantian looked at the time, then responded to Xiaolan a little embarrassedly.

At this time, there was a Conan kid standing next to Xiaolan. He was looking at the door with sleepy eyes, and at the same time he was complaining in his heart:

What do you mean it's been a while since we've been out? Didn't you just go treasure hunting with us?! That's bullshit! I can't believe you!

"Kacha, it's Brother Lantian, come in quickly, hahaha, we just got up, have you had breakfast yet, do you want to eat something together...!"

Xiaolan opened the door and said it awkwardly, but at the same time she felt that Hua Lantian was indeed a little early. However, it seemed that one should get up early to go out and play... That's right, right?

In Conan's speechless eyes, Hua Lantian said that he had finished breakfast and would go downstairs to wait for them in the car. After that, he left directly┐(￣ヮ￣)┌

This left Xiaolan helpless. She could only hurriedly urge Conan to pack his luggage quickly, and then she rushed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

After they hurriedly packed up and finished their breakfast, they hurried downstairs to the jeep.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get ready to set off...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Lantian quickly started the car engine and then sped out like an arrow.

Before Conan could even sit still, he nearly fell forward. He quickly reached out and grabbed the armrest of the seat, barely able to steady himself.

Selectively ignoring Conan's resentful look in the rearview mirror, Hua Lantian and Xiaolan took opposite routes.

They soon arrived at a deep mountain forest. Hua Lantian slowed down and discussed the route with Xiaolan. After all, although there were not many ways up the mountain, it would be terrible to get lost in the mountains.

And although I have a satellite phone, I don’t want to reveal this fact now, otherwise it will be difficult to operate later. Besides, I am not a directionally challenged person, so how could I get lost...!

"I remember that villa, it should be a nice one in this area...!"

Xiaolan looked at the route map and said something as she thought of it.

"Yeah, that's right, I feel like it's coming too...!"

Hua Lantian responded affirmatively. He knew that once Xiaolan said this, it was definitely coming. After all, wasn't that how the original novel was?

"Aha, look, we're here, this is it..." Xiaolan excitedly pointed at the outline of the huge villa in the distance, her voice trembling with excitement.

"Very good, then I'll find a place to park, and then we'll get off and walk across the suspension bridge. But by the way, how did they build it? This suspension bridge doesn't look very safe..."

Hua Lantian said speechlessly as he looked at the suspension bridge in Conan's world, which always encountered misfortune every time it appeared.

He really couldn't understand why the rich people in Conan's mobile phone liked to build houses in such a dangerous place and built such a terrifying suspension bridge.

"Hmm..." Ran and Conan responded at the same time, both of them showing a hint of worry on their faces. After all, they didn't want any accidents to happen when crossing the bridge.

Hua Lantian carefully parked the car, and then the three of them got out. They took a deep breath and stepped onto the shaky suspension bridge.

Of course, they also saw a man in a black robe and a bandage on his head on the suspension bridge from a distance. The man seemed to feel that someone was watching him, turned around and saw the three of them, which immediately made Conan and Xiaolan's hair stand on end.

The man quickly crossed the suspension bridge and then disappeared. Hua Lantian and the others followed him across the suspension bridge, but they always had a feeling.

With every step, the suspension bridge creaked, as if it might break at any moment. Under the bridge was a turbulent river, and if you fell in, the consequences would be disastrous.

"You're finally here! You've arrived just in time. But, Xiaolan, I finally invited you to our villa, why didn't you come earlier..."

When Yuanzi heard some noise outside, she said to her best friend a little helplessly.

"Ah, Brother Lantian, look at me. I was so busy talking to Xiaolan that I didn't see you. Hahaha..."

Yuanzi glanced around and saw Hua Lantian. She almost forgot about Hua Lantian. After all, she had always played with Xiaolan before.

"But, after all, you brought him here, Conan. Why do you like to stay close to your sister Xiaolan so much? This way, your sister Xiaolan can't have a good relationship...!"

Sonoko also saw who she thought was an uninvited guest, Conan, and then complained.

Conan could only chuckle, then internally complained: No way, how come Hua Lantian can come but I can't? How can I, a little kid, get in the way? And you don't need to lecture me...!

Besides, did you get my consent, Kudo Shinichi, to introduce someone to Xiaolan? Xiaolan is mine.

"fall in love…?"

Xiaolan was also confused by her best friend.

"Yes, in the embrace of nature, feeling the gentle breeze caressing my face, listening to the birds singing happily, smelling the delicate fragrance of the flowers, strolling hand in hand with my loved one, having a romantic and dreamy love affair...!"

Yuanzi couldn't help but reveal a look of infatuation, her eyes gleaming with longing and anticipation, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she had already immersed herself in the beautiful scene she had imagined. She gently closed her eyes, feeling the warm and pleasant atmosphere, and whispered softly.

Hua Lantian listened with a slight smile on his face, then thought to himself: I'm sorry, Yuanzi, I may not be able to do what you wish, but your sister will let her find a partner later, and that person is me, hahahaha.

As for other people, I feel that they will have some psychological trauma about this, but not too much. After all, it is Beika Town, and everyone is more or less used to it.

Then everyone entered the villa together and Yuanzi began to introduce it.

"Oh, by the way, your room is on the second floor. Brother Lan Tian, ​​please help the ladies and the children. See you later...!"

After saying this, Sonoko prepared to go to the kitchen to see her sister.

"Wait, Sonoko, are there any of these people with bandages on their heads...?"

Xiaolan asked curiously, she really wanted to know the truth of the matter.

"No, no one who came today was injured...?"

Sonoko said puzzledly.

"Well, maybe it's someone who lives nearby..."

"Alright, hurry up and put your luggage away...!"

Yuanzi pointed to the second floor, then left after saying that.

In order to prevent Takahashi Ryoichi from attacking Xiaolan again, Hua Lantian took the initiative to take her bag and then reminded her, "Xiaolan, remember to knock before opening the door... After all, someone is already here...!"

"Ah, okay, I know all about this kind of thing, how could I possibly forget you...!"

Xiaolan responded quickly. After all, there were several men among the guests, and it would be troublesome if she saw something she shouldn't have seen.

(But then again, I'm also confused about what Xiaolan was thinking in the original drama. She shouldn't be such a careless person... This is worth pondering...! (￣w￣;))

Finally, under Hua Lantian's guidance, he directly avoided the risk for Xiaolan and took her and Conan to the room where she lived in the original drama, and then he himself found an empty room to live in.

Then he rushed downstairs and went to the kitchen to show his courtesy to Suzuki Ayako and help her cook.

"Ayako, long time no see. Let me help you make something to eat. Don't look at me like this, I'm quite good at cooking...!"

Hua Lantian first greeted Ayako, who was busy working like a good wife and mother, and then came over to give her some advice.

"Ah, long time no see! I was so happy to hear that you were coming, Sonoko! Thank you for your kindness, I'm almost done here~ But if you have time tonight, you can come and help me prepare dinner..."

Ayako greeted Hua Lantian with a smile, her tone very gentle and kind, but she still politely declined the other party's request for help.

After all, the work she was doing was almost finished and she basically didn't need any extra help. However, she didn't want to completely reject Hua Lantian's kindness, so she decided to invite him to participate in the preparation of dinner.

"Okay, okay, then I'll wait by your side to taste the delicious food you've carefully prepared! Let's work together tonight, and I'll definitely come over to help..."

Hua Lantian is very sensible. He knows that one must know when to stop at a certain point in everything. Excessive entanglement may backfire and may even lead to the loss of friendship.

So he readily agreed, then walked to his seat and leisurely enjoyed the sumptuous meal that had been prepared for him.

Ayako finished her work quickly and came over. Everyone had already introduced themselves to each other. At this time, Ayako, not knowing whether intentionally or not, mentioned the name "Dunzi", which was a taboo in the minds of the remaining few people.

Now everyone's emotions were aroused, especially those two people, Ryoichi Takahashi and Chikako Ikeda.

.........

Time quickly passed and it was night. It was raining outside. After Chikako Ikeda left, Hua Lantian knew that she would never come back when she went out again, and Takahashi Ryoichi was about to kill her.

So Hua Lantian stayed in the villa, accompanying Ayako, who was alone, to promote their relationship and help her cook dinner.

"Ayako, today I'm going to show you my specialty, a Chinese dish called Braised Lion's Head... using limited ingredients!"

Hua Lantian rolled up his sleeves, found the materials, and showed off his skills with Ayako.

"Okay, then I'll be looking forward to eating the delicious dishes. I'm really looking forward to it...!"

Ayako also cooperated and showed some support. The two of them soon got busy.

The first time they came back, things got really bad. Then Chikako Ikeda went out again and never came back, and then a series of scary things happened.

But in the end, after comforting Ayako, Hua Lantian asked everyone to gather in the restaurant because he was going to start his reasoning show.

In the end, he gave both Takahashi Ryoichi and Ikeda Chikako a spiel of poisonous chicken soup, but of course Ikeda Chikako could no longer hear him.

After that, Hua Lantian took out his satellite phone and told Masamichi, who had been waiting for a long time, to send someone to repair the bridge and asked him to ask Officer Megure to deal with the aftermath.

Before dawn, the engineering team repaired the bridge and Officer Megure also took a Metropolitan Police Department helicopter to bring people to handle the matter.

Xiaolan, Conan, and the Suzuki sisters were also picked up by Hua Lantian and returned to their homes to rest. After this incident, Ayako's impression of Hua Lantian was refreshed and she became more interested in him. After all, this is a world where detectives are king, and it is normal to be interested in someone who can reason...
