8:30 p.m.

"Don't you really like this?" With a slightly strange look, Mao Lilan asked. "Or are you afraid of heights?"

Just now, she wanted to play with the Ferris wheel, but Kudo Shinichi told her that she didn't want to go up, and she could go with Conan.

"Maybe a little ......," Kudo Shinichi's smile was a little reluctant. I'm a little bit bad today and I might lose my shape in that kind of place. ”

"It's been several times today, right?" Mao Liran looked at Kudo Shinichi's expression with concern. "You also rejected several ...... just now Pedal boats, bumper cars, trampolines, and this Ferris wheel, what are you worried about? ”

"......" Kudo Shinichi didn't answer, just looked at her with an apologetic expression. I'm sorry...... Don't worry too much about me, you and Conan can go up. ”

"Ah......" Mao Lilan may have been interested in riding the Ferris wheel before, but now after seeing Kudo Shinichi's resistance, he is a little hesitant. But ......"

But if you don't come, where is the fun of me riding the Ferris wheel? - It was something she didn't say in the end.

Realizing this, Mao Lilan showed a wry smile that was a little helpless.

I don't even know who you are, but it's as if every cell in your body is surging for you...... Who are you to me who you used to be?

"Besides, the little guy may still want to go, if I can't go, you must be playing with him." Shinichi Kudo reminded Maoriran.

"It's okay, I want to ...... I'm not in a hurry, and if Sister Xiaolan doesn't want to sit either, I'm fine. At that moment, Conan suddenly spoke.

Shinichi Kudo looked at Conan with a somewhat strange expression, but Conan just looked at him very calmly.

While they were communicating like this, Mao Lilan's cell phone suddenly rang - the caller was Fei Yingli.

"Ah, it's Mom," Moriran looked at her phone, realizing that she and Kudo Shinichi had been playing outside for too long, before answering the phone. "Hey, Mom?"

When Conan heard the identity of the caller, he looked at Kudo Shinichi in astonishment, and Kudo Shinichi replied with a somewhat helpless expression.

"Xiaolan, where are you?" Fei Yingli's suppressed anxiety voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Me?" Maoriran took a look at the scenery around him. "We're on the Ferris wheel—ah, we're at Dorobica Land."

"You guys? Are you and Conan? Fei Yingli hurriedly asked. Why did you sneak out like that? ”

"And Shinichi, we're all outside." When Mao Lilan said this, he said it in a very happy tone. "The three of us are playing outside together!"

"Shinichi Kudo?" Fei Yingli's tone was even more surprised. "You mean, that high school detective, your friend, Shinichi Kudo? Are you with Conan at Dorobica Land? ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Maolilan didn't understand why her mother was in such a tone. "Shinichi and Conan are here."

The other side of the phone was silent for a long time.

"Hello?" Maolilan frowned and asked across the phone. "Mom?"

"Ah, it's okay......" Fei Yingli didn't seem to have recovered from the shock. That...... Have fun, you guys, remember to come back early. ”

After responding casually, Mao Lilan looked at the reextinguished phone screen with a somewhat subtle expression, shook his head, and looked in the direction of Kudo Shinichi again. "So what's next?"

"You two seem to be missing out on too much because of me," Kudo Shinichi said after thinking about it. "Let's pick one, the project we didn't play just now because of my relationship, you and Conan have a good time - this time it's out to play with you, not with me, so it should be what you want to play, we'll play what, not because I can't play anything, what do you think?"

Mao Lilan thought for a moment and nodded. "That'...... Okay, then let's go-"

……

Dock.

"Squeak-" With the unusually terrible twisting and deformation sound of Kudo Shinichi stepping on the wooden planks of the dock, Kudo Shinichi immediately retracted his leg like lightning as if he had been stabbed. "I'd better stop here, you just go up."

"Are you really not coming?" Mao Lilan looked at Kudo Shinichi with some helplessness. "I always feel a little ...... for me and Conan"

"I'm not coming," Kudo Shinkan glanced at the plank in front of him, and quite resolutely rejected Moriran's invitation. "You guys just go, I'll go somewhere else."

"Oh......" Moriran nodded with some apprehension, and pulled Conan with him to the boat at the docks.

This is the dinosaur park of Dorobiga Paradise, and it is here that the Maorilan and their families are about to board the sightseeing boat here - probably because it is a little late, so the sightseeing boat has less than half of the passengers, and Conan and Maorilan have room to sit side by side.

With the sound of the engine, the boat slowly started and left with Moriran and Conan - and instead of looking at the scenery ahead like the other passengers, Moriran turned his head and looked at Shinichi Kudo standing on the shore.

Kudo Shinichi also looked back at her with his gaze, but his body from the neck down was still as motionless as cast iron, like an iron man.

The uneasy look on Maolilan's face, who noticed this, became even heavier, but in the end, he could only disappear from the field of vision with Conan and Kudo Shinichi with such a full stomach.

When the boat disappeared, Kudo Shinichi's gaze turned straight ahead again, and he stood silently in place, intending to spend the rest of his time in this way. But when he suddenly noticed that the tourists who had come off the previous boat seemed to be pointing at him, he realized that his behavior might be a little too eye-catching. So, he prepared to go to another, more secluded place and wait for Xiaolan and them to come back.

But just as he was about to take a step, he found that his steps were blocked - the dock was built on the dirt ground, and Kudo Shinichi actually stepped out of two deep pits because he had been standing here for a long time.

Kudo Shinichi hesitated for a moment, lifted his feet, and walked briskly to the more solid stone path beside him. And just as he was getting there, he suddenly heard the sound of engines coming from the river of the pleasure boat next to him - he turned his head to that side, only to see a motorboat speeding through the river.

Kudo Shinichi immediately stared at the man piloting the motorboat: although the figure only flashed in the dim dock lights, Kudo Shinichi could still see clearly.

A minute later, a text message was sent from the Tachibana Mansion to Conan's mobile phone.

[Please note that Sister Koran's attending physician "Kyosuke Kado" is driving a motorboat from the pier to your cruise ship.] Please make the most vicious speculation about his intentions, he may be the culprit of a series of cases. - Chiba Tachibana

Another second passed, and another text message was sent to Gregory.

[Please, now go to the Mihua Yaoshiye Hospital and save the gray plain!] It may be too late to be late!! 】
