I'm writing a diary in Zongman

"There's a child here."

"Don't worry, we are well aware of the dangers of investigating over there, so we won't be so careless."

Kudo Yusaku would not make such a big mistake.

He really didn't intend to get involved completely.

Just like he said, we need to stay away from that organization because we know how dangerous it is.

Now all he needs to do is go abroad with Yukiko to relax.

He can provide intelligence, but will not personally participate in the investigation.

Chapter 39 Unacceptable

"dad……"

Ran Mao Li, who had been covering her mouth and trembling slightly, suddenly spoke.

"The child can stay, but I may not be able to stay."

"!"

The three parents present were shocked by these words.

I saw Mao Lilan squatting down slightly and taking off the child's glasses.

"Yeah, it really looks like Shinichi when he was a kid."

“…Dad, I don’t want to see this child’s face for now.”

"I don't want to think about Shinichi for now."

"..."

The three parents were silent for a moment.

"Ah, I forgot about that."

Yukiko Kudo sighed, forgetting the possibility that Xiaolan would not be able to face reality all of a sudden.

"This child just learned about Shinichi's death. Even if it was just something we created, I'm afraid this child won't want to think about Shinichi's death in the short term."

"It was a mistake."

This is indeed something they did not consider.

As parents, they can accept Shinichi's death because they know that Shinichi is not dead.

But the problem is that Xiaolan doesn't know.

Xiaolan really thought Shinichi was dead.

She didn't want to see Shinichi turned into a child in the short term, because she didn't know that was Shinichi himself.

"Xiaolan, if you... can't stand it, you can go live with Eri first."

Considering his daughter's unbearable emotions, Kogoro Mouri did not force Xiaolan to accept it.

Especially the relationship between Xiaolan and that boy, maybe it would be a good idea to let Xiaolan go to Yingli to adjust.

"Ah."

Ran Mao Li put the glasses she had taken off back on the child.

She had such complicated emotions that she couldn't hide them at all.

"Dad, I need to take a day off today."

"Well, you should take a break today. You can contact Yingli first and ask her to pick you up."

"I'm going to contact my mother."

Ran Mouri tried hard to control her emotions and looked at Aunt Yukiko and Uncle Kudo with a slight apology.

"I'm sorry, I...can't control my emotions."

"No need to apologize, Xiaolan."

Yukiko Kudo walked up and held Xiaolan in her arms.

"We all know how you feel."

"If that day... well, it's all in the past. Xiaolan, you don't have to think about Shinichi all the time in the future."

"..."

Mao Lilan had a very forced smile on her face.

"Aunt Yukiko, I'll go up first."

"Well, let's go."

Mao Lilan composed herself and went to the third floor.

The second floor is Kogoro Mori's detective agency, and the third floor is where the Mori family actually lives.

In fact, there are not many rooms on the third floor, only two.

One is from Kogoro Mori, and the other is from Ran Mori.

In fact, the place has become very crowded with just one person living here, and since the person moving in is a boy, this squeezes the already limited living space.

After reaching the second floor, all the emotions that Mao Lilan had been unable to control were under control.

Walked into his room.

Mao Lilan took out a diary.

"..."

Looking at the words written on it, a trace of bitterness appeared on her face.

"I really can't accept it."

She actually knew that Kudo Shinichi was hit with a stick and fed poison.

Even Ran Mouri knew that the child next to Uncle Kudo was Shinichi Kudo.

But so what if you know?

Whenever she walks with Shinichi, she always becomes a burden to Shinichi's investigations.

When facing cases and dangers, Shinichi always rushes forward the fastest, but her feelings are always ignored.

Plus this time of deception.

Mao Lilan really felt that she couldn't stand it.

She can accept Shinichi telling her the truth in a tactful way, even if there will be some danger afterwards, but she will help Shinichi hide the truth, and even ask others to help hide the truth together.

But what about now?

Hadn't Shinichi already made his decision?

Hiding it from her, just for the so-called "protection"?

If it's really about protection, shouldn't you keep your distance from her?

Ran Mouri is not a fool, she knows why Shinichi was assigned to her side.

He completely ruined his identity as "Kudo Shinichi" and brought himself to her side. Wasn't it just for his own selfish reasons?

He never told her anything, but he always kept his secrets from her.

What do you want to do?

Do you want to keep an eye on yourself and not let others get close to you?

"I still can't accept it, Shinichi."

I can't accept being treated like this.

Ran Mouri also cannot accept Shinichi Kudo's selfishness.

If Kudo Shinichi told her the truth, then she could accept it.

But in the current situation, that’s not possible.

Mao Lilan calmed herself down, picked up the phone and called her mother.

"Mother……"

"What's wrong, Xiaolan? Why are you in such a bad mood?"

"Something happened, Mom, can you come pick me up now?"

"...Wait at home, I'll be right there."

When Hibari Eri heard the unusual tone in her daughter's voice over the phone, she immediately put down all her work, grabbed her clothes and bag, and prepared to run home.

In just thirty minutes, Kisaki Eri arrived at the Mouri Detective Agency.

She didn't go to the third floor, but to the second floor.

Then I was surprised to find that Yukiko and Yusaku were there.

But if you look closely, you can see that the faces of the three people are not looking good.

"You guys, what's going on?"

Suddenly seeing several people here, Kisaki Eri always had a bad feeling.

"Kogoro, what's going on?"

"Something happened to that kid."

"!?"

Kisaki Eri immediately understood why Xiaolan was so depressed on the phone just now.

She covered her forehead with her hands as she felt a slight headache.

"Yukiko..."

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

How could he not be tired? Even his usual relaxed smile was gone, so this couldn't be explained by just a little tiredness.

However, Kisaki Eri was worried that it would cause more distress to Yukiko, so she didn't continue.

"What's going on, Xiaolan?"

"……cough!"

Kogoro Mouri coughed and glanced at the child standing next to Yusaku Kudo.

Kisaki Eri immediately looked over with understanding.

"Is that so?"

Kogoro Maori nodded slightly in tacit understanding.

After understanding the meaning, Kisaki Eri fell silent for a moment.

"Is it Yukiko and Yusaku's child?"

"So they're planning to arrange for us to stay here... Yukiko and Yusaku are actually asking for our child to be cared for."

However, this approach also shows the seriousness of the matter.

The cause of Kudo Shinichi's death is probably quite complicated.

"Eri, Xiaolan's mood has been unstable recently, so let her stay at your place."

"Well, that's fine too."
