Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

On the street lined with single-family houses, the dim street lights cast shadows of several people, making it obvious that they were two adults and a child.

The group of people walking two in front and one behind were Hua Lantian, Mao Li Ran and Edogawa Conan.

Ah, you asked why they went this way, because not long after they set out, Hua Lantian suggested that since they were going to protect, they should follow behind, which would appear more professional.

As long as you don't try too hard, others won't recognize who you are and will just think you're a passerby, letting people with bad intentions let down their guard.

And since Conan was going to stay there, and they had just met tonight, they should let them get to know each other well, so they walked like this, but who knows what Hua Lantian really thinks...

Ran Maoli, who was standing in front, also wanted to get to know this cute little boy who looked like a washing machine, so she took his hand and said, "Oh, right, Conan!"

"Ah, um, what's the matter?" Conan didn't know what he was thinking. He was probably not used to this name. He was also complaining in his heart that he was not used to this name. He almost didn't react to this sudden conversation.

"Do you have a girl you like?" Ran Mouri turned her head and looked down at Conan, "Ah?" Conan was confused.

(Please, don’t mention him. Your question is really abrupt and weird.)

"I mean, is there any girl in school that you like?" Mao Lilan felt that he didn't seem to hear clearly, so she emphasized it again.

"No, no..." Conan responded with an embarrassed face that turned red unconsciously and a drop of sweat.

(Could it be that he said the person he likes is you?)

"No, I have someone I like very much~" Mao Lilan said regretfully but meaningfully.

At this time, the master of facial expressions appeared. Conan had a teasing look on his face, with one hand on his mouth as if whispering something, and teased in a somewhat sly yet somewhat happy manner:

"Could it be the brother named Shinichi that you were looking for just now?"

Because Hua Lantian has a physical fitness that surpasses that of ordinary people, his hearing is particularly good. Even though he is some distance behind them, he can still hear their conversation.

So he was eavesdropping from behind, listening with great interest, when he suddenly heard this. He didn't want to realize how cheap the drum washing machine was at this moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"That's right~!" Mao Lilan was confused for a second, then readily admitted it with a smile. "Huh?" Now it was Conan's turn to be surprised.

"Shinichi has been a mischievous kid since he was little, always full of confidence, and thinks he's an expert in reasoning. However, when you ask him for help in an emergency, he becomes very courageous and becomes so cool (what is this, an official complaint plus praise?). I really, really like Shinichi!"

"Puff!" There was a slight sound of steam explosion, and our Detective Conan turned into Detective Egg Conan, his face flushed red, but it didn't seem like Ran Mouri noticed.

She looked at Conan and made a silent gesture, asking him to keep it secret, "But, you must not tell Shinichi about this~"

"Hmm..." Conan nodded, blushing. Hua Lantian almost burst out laughing at this famous scene. But he remained silent and walked behind.

The group soon arrived downstairs at the Maori Detective Agency. "My home is right here. It's like I have a cute little brother. I can tell Conan anything."

(Good guy, congratulations, you'll soon have no secrets in front of the washing machine. That's not okay! If our sister Bei was here, she would definitely stop you and tell you that secrets make women more feminine, hahahaha? ???° ?? ?°)

Mao Lilan said very happily. "Xiaolan..." Conan murmured while looking at her.

"Let me introduce you to dad, come on~ Oh, by the way, Brother Lantian (this is what Hua Lantian asked Mao Lilan to call him before, saying it doesn't matter, because Mao Li Kogoro calls himself Lantian, so there's no need to be too polite.), you can come up and sit with us too, it's really troublesome for you to send Conan and me back."

After saying this, Mao Lilan turned around and prepared to lead Hua Lantian and Conan upstairs together.

As a result, our Conan suddenly felt embarrassed and a little guilty, lowering his head and muttering: "Well, Xiaolan, actually, I am, I am actually..."

Hearing the sound getting louder and louder, Mao Lilan looked at him in confusion. Before he could finish his words, there were hurried footsteps on the stairs, and excited voices muttering "Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes!"

Immediately afterwards, Kogoro Mouri fell down the stairs unsteadily, landing on his face. His neck twisted, but amazingly, he didn't break his neck. He slid forward and turned around.

He looked at Xiaolan with an exaggerated expression and said excitedly, "Finally, I have a job after half a year! A rich man's daughter was kidnapped! It was a man dressed in black!"

(This is hilarious. You’re trying to increase the intensity of your son-in-law, so he can quickly remember the main storyline and stop messing around with your own daughter.)

Sure enough, the washing machine, who was just thinking about confessing and being lenient, immediately had its pupils constricted and its face changed color. "Black, a man dressed in black?!"

"Taxi!" Kogoro Mouri shouted somewhere, and a taxi suddenly braked and stopped in front of him.

"Conan!" Before Mouri Ran could stop her, Conan rushed forward and got into the car with Mouri Kogoro. Mouri Ran also got in the car quickly.

Before Hua Lantian had time to complain that Maori Kogoro had forgotten about him, he realized that he had been left behind. He hailed a taxi in an unknown way, said hello to the driver, and followed closely behind.

When he found someone following him secretly from behind, Kogoro Mouri didn't notice Conan and Ran Mouri who had already quietly got into the car, so he asked the driver to get out of the way quickly.

"Mr. Driver, there's someone following us. Please shake him off immediately. I'm going to handle a kidnapping case and need to conceal my whereabouts (quite professional, ha)!"

Hearing about the kidnapping, the driver shuddered and almost stepped on the brakes. Then he calmed down, stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and said to Maori Kogoro beside him without asking any questions:

"Don't worry, I'm a professional. I'll get rid of him right away, and then I'll speed you over there to handle the kidnapping case!"

Hua Lantian was stunned as he watched the taxi in front of him disappear before his eyes due to the driver's fierce operation.

He never expected that Kogoro Mouri actually noticed him at this time and thought he was a bad guy, so he asked the driver to get rid of him. He was very anxious and asked the driver next to him.

"Mr. Driver, what should I do? The other two people in his car and I know each other, and we came back together, but before I could figure out what was going on, they got in the car together and now they've left me behind! Can you help me catch up with them? I'll give you a hundred thousand. If you catch up with them, I'll give you a hundred thousand!"

When the driver heard this, his eyes lit up, he patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, sir, I, Qian Liyan,

(Clairvoyance, manual dog head. Also pay attention to this person, he will appear later.)

I'll definitely catch up with them. Back in the day, I was a mercenary abroad and a skilled scout! And driving has been my hobby since I was a kid. With my skills, I could challenge professional racers!"

Hua Lantian was stunned and exclaimed, "Wow, what a guy!" He reached out and took out ten Fukuzawa Yukichi cards and handed them to him.

Inui Reihiko took it without hesitation, and immediately drove the car to catch up with Maori Kogoro and the others like a hound tracking prey.

In the taxi on the other side, when Kogoro Mouri saw that he had not caught up with the man, he had a serious expression on his face, but suddenly his expression changed and he could no longer suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth with his lowered face.

"The crime case is calling me again, calling me, the great detective Maori Kogoro!"

Then he threw his head back and laughed, but when he glanced, he saw two more people next to him, they were Ran Mouri and Conan. Both of them looked disgusted and remained silent. He roared, "Why are you sitting in the car?"

Mao Lilan also shouted at him dissatisfiedly: "Because this child ran up here by himself."

(This is truly a daily example of loving father and filial daughter.)

Conan, who was sandwiched between the two of them, didn't know what was wrong with him. He started dancing around like a cute guy, "Car, car, car, wow~".

Maori Kogoro's face was distorted with anger, and a few drops of sweat appeared. He pointed at Conan and asked, "Who is this guy?"

Conan leaned against Maori Ran pitifully, and glanced at Maori Kogoro with his dead fish eyes rolled up again.

Mao Lilan, like a protective child, replied a little unhappy: "He is the child of Dr. Agasa's relative."

Maori Kogoro's dissatisfied voice came from the taxi, "Don't interfere with my work, get out of the car immediately!" "Impossible, this is a highway..."

……

The taxi soon stopped at a mansion with a large area and a large Japanese-style gate. Kogoro Mouri got out of the car very depressed, followed by Ran Mouri and Conan.

Just as they were about to go in, another taxi came out from a distance, braked suddenly, spun around, and stopped half a step away from Maori Kogoro. Maori Kogoro broke out in a cold sweat, gasped for breath, and his chest pounded...

Hua Lantian, who was sitting in the car, was stunned. Along the way, he saw Qian Liyan speeding along, making many turns.

Although he attracted the attention of the "Tiger of Traffic Division" Officer Miyamoto Yumi, he managed to shake off Officer Miyamoto Yumi and caught up with Maori Kogoro and the others...

"Sir, we're here. Please get off the car. Feel free to contact me next time if you need anything!" Qian Liyan interrupted Hua Lantian's recollection, then unlocked the door and handed him a business card.

Hua Lantian took the business card, smiled, and responded, "Okay, okay, Master Qian, I'll definitely ask you for help next time I have something!"

While the two people were talking heatedly in the car, Maori Kogoro, who had been startled just now, had come to his senses. He walked to the car door angrily, banged on the window, and shouted:

"Hey, how are you driving? You almost hit me, do you know?! I was so scared..."

Hua Lantian looked at the angry Kogoro Mouri, smiled very awkwardly, said goodbye to Inui Reihiko, and hurriedly opened the car door.

A somewhat familiar handsome face appeared in Mouri Kogoro's eyes. Mouri Kogoro was stunned, stopped shouting, and started brainstorming.

"Sorry, sorry, Uncle Maori, I asked the driver to catch up with you quickly, but he was a little anxious and almost hit you. So, I will treat you to a drink next time I visit you... As for why I followed you, it was because it was late, and I originally wanted to take Xiaolan to

(I'll still use a more intimate name for Xiaolan here. After all, I used to call her Brother Lantian. I won't call her Maolilan anymore. I just remembered it when I wrote this. Hahaha. I used too much before, so I won't go back and change it. Sorry, sorry. ╮(╯▽╰)╭)

Conan was also there to send it back, and before we could even talk, you all got in the car. I wondered what was going on, so I followed you in to see what was going on."

Hua Lantian began to explain.

"Oh, oh, I see. It's okay, it's okay. You haven't bumped into me yet, and you mean well. How can I be so petty, Lan Tian?"

When Kogoro Mouri heard that there was wine to drink and that Hua Lantian meant well, his attitude changed drastically and he immediately forgot his unhappiness. He grinned and spoke nonchalantly while patting Hua Lantian's shoulder, looking like he really cared about this junior.

(Of course, it’s also possible that our uncle is still a little angry, so he slaps it to vent his anger, haha~)

Hua Lantian could only laugh dryly at this. Xiaolan, on the other side, felt very embarrassed and covered her face with her hands in silence. Conan, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and sneered at the uncle's behavior.

Just when everyone seemed to be having a great time, the sound of a police siren, "Wow, wow, wow...", came closer and closer, and then a voice from a car was clearly heard, "The taxi in front, the one with the license plate Shinjuku-886,

(Fake license plate, they dare to drive like this, how could they use a real license plate, don’t you think? Well, actually I forgot what the license plate in Conan looks like, and I can’t see the license plate clearly in this episode, so I made one up. Manual dog head.)

Don't run! You are suspected of driving violations and other crimes. Stop right there and cooperate with my investigation!"

That’s right, this is our “Tiger of Traffic Class” Officer Yumi Miyamoto.

Inui Reihiko was originally watching the amazing spectacle of Maori Kogoro's rapidly changing facial expressions, when he heard the sirens and Miyamoto Yumi's screams. He quickly started the car and sped away...

Seeing this, the mini patrol car sped up and chased after it.

“Uh…” “This driver is amazing!” “Yeah, yeah…” …The remaining people at the scene looked at each other awkwardly and started chatting awkwardly…

"Alright, alright, since we're here, let's go in together. We've wasted so much time and the case is still unsolved. This is a kidnapping case. Every minute of delay puts the kidnapped person in more danger!"

Kogoro Mouri was the first to react and urged everyone to enter the Taniya residence.
