Model worker and his little darling

Quantum opened the door: "Please come inside."

Conan noticed the lock looked like it had been pried open and went inside. He then started rummaging through everything and quickly discovered a whole host of oddities.

Heiji was watching a soccer match in the living room with the two girls, but he wasn't interested in soccer at all; his attention was focused on Conan next to him.

Wait, a football?

He remembered that this episode seemed to be about a kidnapping case.

A short while later, Conan went out, and Quantum received a call from Conan: "Is this Mr. Shinichi?"

Seeing that Quantum had been on the phone for a long time, and sensing the growing killing intent emanating from Xiaolan, Pingqing was speechless. At such a critical moment, couldn't she just give him the answer directly? Why did she have to reveal every detail of her reasoning, putting herself in an even greater crisis?

Ran slammed her hand on the table: "What exactly happened? Was that Shinichi's call?"

When Quantum saw that Shinichi Kudo understood her situation, and that Mamoru was saved, she was so excited that she burst into tears: "I...I'm so happy that Mr. Shinichi understands my situation."

Ping Qing's lips twitched. This damned art of language, can't you just say it directly?

Xiaolan, unable to contain herself any longer, snatched the phone: "Where are you? Come over here and explain yourself!" But she found her own voice coming from the other end of the receiver.

Xiao Lan immediately launched a new major search operation.

Pingqing stood in the corridor, watching Ran walk around the entire house before finally cornering Conan in the bathroom with a sinister grin. Just then, Shinichi Kudo's voice could be heard coming from inside.

She grabbed the doorknob and shook it hard: "Open the door, Shinichi! I know you're in there. Come out and explain yourself!"

Conan was terrified inside.

Just as Ran was about to break down the door with karate, Conan quickly had Rin hand the receiver to Ran, saying that he had something to say that only Ran could hear. He then slipped out of the bathroom while Ran was away.

Ran was tricked. When she heard Quantum say that Shinichi Kudo might have gone to Naoki Uemura's house, she immediately dragged Quantum out.

Pingqing stood silently at the back and closed the door.

Quantum Station called out to Naoki Uemura's door for a long time, but no one answered. Ran then gathered her strength and kicked the door open, knocking Naoki Uemura, who was standing behind it, to the ground.

Tsk, how tragic.

Conan, standing nearby, was also stunned. Looking at Naoki Uemura lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, Ran was terrifying.

Pingqing just wanted to cheer Xiaolan on; this is how Xiaolan should be.

Quantum and Xiaolan rushed in. Quantum successfully found Xiaoshou, but Xiaolan was filled with disappointment.

At this moment, Quantum reminded Ran that she could call Shinichi Kudo. Upon hearing this, Conan grabbed his schoolbag and prepared to quietly leave.

He fled, she chased, but neither of them could escape.

They chased her to an alleyway, where Xiaolan stopped, tears still streaming down her face.

"Explain yourself clearly, why were you at that girl's house..."

For a moment, Conan wanted to rush out and explain everything to Ran, but then he hesitated, thinking about his own body and that organization.

Just then, a Volkswagen Beetle drove up behind Conan; it was Professor Agasa.

Conan stood on the small box, his shadow elongated by the car lights, and Shinichi Kudo's voice came through.

"I have no relation to Miss Quantum; I'm the hero's younger brother..."

After Conan said goodbye, the lights went out, and Shinichi Kudo disappeared.

Xiao Lan didn't chase after them, but looked at Ping Qing standing beside her and asked, "Brother Ping Qing, could you please take me somewhere?"

"it is good."

Heiji drove Ran to the Kudo residence.

Xiaolan opened the car door: "Pingqing-ge, thank you. I'll wait here for Xinyi to come back. You can go back first."

After saying that, she stood outside the iron gate of the Kudo family's house, looking like she wouldn't leave until Shinichi Kudo returned.

Looking at the frail figure leaning against the wall, Pingqing walked over to Ran and said, "Ran, let's go home. Shinichi Kudo won't come."

"Where could he be going? This is his home, and he's not coming back. Could he be going to that girl's house? That girl even cried, but I'm the one who should be crying the most."

"Then why didn't you chase after him just now?"

“I definitely can’t catch up with him. As soon as I do, he disappears. It’s like in an amusement park. He goes off to chase someone and never comes back. He hasn’t called or sent me a single message in all these days.”

“I called him too, but he didn’t answer. But today, as soon as that girl had a problem, he called her. He even knows so much about her situation, including that her brother was kidnapped.”

"They talked for so long, but Shinichi didn't say a word to me. I knew he was in the bathroom, and I could see him as soon as I opened the door, but I didn't have the courage. I was afraid he would disappear as soon as I opened the door."

"He went to that girl's house, but he wouldn't even meet me. Shinichi, he's always the first to run when he hears about a case, he's always so impulsive and hot-blooded."

"But I'm really worried about him, worried about his safety. I've even wondered if he's been involved in some case and then asked Professor Agasa for help, turning into Conan. He really does look like Shinichi."

"I think you two should find a time to talk things out. You've been childhood sweethearts. If you feel he's someone you can rely on forever, then be together. If you're not interested in each other, then work towards your own goals. You're still young, and your life has endless possibilities."

"I don't dare. Right now, I feel like Shinichi is just a dream. When I wake up, he'll be gone."

Pingqing sighed, thinking of the girls in the main characters of the Detective Conan world, especially Kazuha and Ran, who were deeply in love with their childhood sweethearts, but their childhood sweethearts turned out to be super straight men.

Girls like Xiaolan must get tired of chasing after something for too long.

This must be the first time they've been apart for so long since they met.

Ran then went on and on about how she and Shinichi Kudo were when they were little, back when they could still see each other, unlike now, when they don't even have a phone call.

Pingqing listened to what Xiaolan said. She probably had been holding it in for a long time, and now that she could say it, she probably wouldn't feel so bad.

I glanced at the sky; it was already quite late, and the night breeze was rather cool.

Seeing Xiaolan crying and talking until her voice was almost hoarse, Pingqing pressed on Xiaolan's neck, and Xiaolan instantly fainted. Pingqing carried Xiaolan to the car and drove home.

Conan waited for ages in Professor Agasa's car, but Ran never came running. After searching everywhere, he discovered that Ran was gone, and so was Hirai.

He rushed back to the detective agency but didn't see Xiaolan.

Conan, in his anxiety, had already foreseen the bad outcome: Ran and Hirai had gotten into trouble.

Suddenly remembering something, he rushed towards his home. When he arrived, he saw Pingqing carrying Xiaolan into the car.

Damn it, that guy Ito Hirakiyo actually stole his Ran while he was away.

Conan wanted to keep chasing, but Hirai had already driven away, leaving Conan with only exhaust fumes.

When Pingqing carried Xiaolan back to the detective agency, Uncle Mouri was shocked. Wasn't his precious daughter out looking for that detective boy? How did she end up like this?

"Xiao Lan cried for so long that she fell asleep."

Uncle Mori slammed his fist on the wall: "It must be because of that detective kid. I'm going to kill him. How dare he bully my daughter like that and make her cry for so long because of him."

Pingqing immediately stopped Uncle Maoli and briefly told him what had happened that day.
