Drinking the free drink, Qian Yu pondered the meaning of Xiao Lan's inexplicable actions.

The goal of her inquiry seems to be to confirm whether Conan is capable of exceeding the abilities of a normal elementary school student? What the hell did she want to know???

With such confusion, Chiba got on the tram home. But he met Maori Kogoro, Xiaolan and Conan - if you want to go back to Rice Flower, you have to take the East Capital Ring Line to Rice Flower Station, so it is definitely a high probability that they will meet.

Qianyu was sitting just where she could see Xiaolan's face—from the point of view of her gaze, she was looking at someone slightly lower than her. To Qian Yu's confusion, the expression in her eyes was very complicated.

Lower than Xiaolan, that's Conan, right? But this expression...

Joy and sorrow are at the same time, but sometimes they are overshadowed by shame or anger. With such a complex expression, why does Xiaolan have such complex emotions for Conan?

…… Conan perspective

A little off... Pretending to look out the window casually, Conan glanced at Lan's expression again, his heart beating like a drum.

All day today, Xiaolan's attitude towards herself is very different from before.

First, she begins to assert herself in front of her Maori uncle, giving herself absolute trust and plenty of room to reason.

Secondly, she actually knocked on the side from time to time in various ways, and pressed his nerves with specious words, which made Conan extremely tired now.

I really want to go home and sleep, and then hurry up tomorrow to talk to Dr. Asa about what to do...

Conan turned his head, and when his eyes swept over Xiaolan, he was caught by Xiaolan's gaze, and Conan quickly withdrew his gaze and pretended to be looking at the tablecloth.

I only hope that I can put it off until tomorrow morning.

。。。。。。 A thousand feathers perspective

"Little brother, what are you looking at?" Suddenly, a middle-aged woman wearing sunglasses who had been sitting opposite Qian Yu asked. "Are you looking at the Rapunzel in the high school uniform in row 9?"

Nine rows, high school uniforms, Rapunzel, talking about Xiaolan. How did she know? Mind reading?

"Ahh Her expression is funny..."

"Yes," the middle-aged woman's mouth curled slightly, playing with taste. "I saw it too, it's quite interesting~"

Qianyu almost thought for a moment that the person in front of him was not a middle-aged woman in her thirties, but a young girl who liked to sell cute and tender flowers.

"Tengu eats the moon... I don't know when the beautiful moonlight will come. The middle-aged woman suddenly said with a vicissitudes on her face.

Qian Yu glanced at the crescent moon outside the window, not knowing how to answer. (May 7, 1994, 27th day of the third lunar month)

(The middle-aged woman's sentence is a metaphor for when Xiaolan can say "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight", which is equivalent to I love you in Japan.) The author of this metaphor is Natsume Soseki of the English teacher model. ）

The attendant's announcement interrupted the obscure conversation—the tram had arrived.

The curious, the mysterious, the apprehensive, the doubtful, and the dazed set out on their way home.

。。。

Chiba was walking towards the bathroom with a change of clothes when she heard Conan's voice coming from outside the house.

"Aren't the windows closed?" Qian Yu was stunned for a moment, and then got to the point. "Wait... How did this guy end up here? ”

Looking out of the window, I saw Xiaolan pulling Conan and walking past her door. Qian Yu walked out the door, hid behind the wall of his house, and listened quietly.

"Sister Xiaolan, Sister Xiaolan!" Conan's tone was confused. "It's not the way to go to a convenience store!"

Xiaolan did not respond.

"If you get lost," Conan said anxiously. "Let's go back to the office first!"

"yes," Lan finally spoke. "It's time to go home."

The footsteps stopped.

"Go back to your home." Xiaolan said lightly.

"Huh?" Qianyu was stunned. If they followed the speed of Xiaolan and Conan, they should be standing in front of the Kudo house that someone had been here during the day. Back to Conan's home? What the heck?

"You... What are you talking about, Sister Xiaolan," Conan was stunned for a moment, then replied. "This is Shinichi's brother's home!"

"Really?" Xiaolan's tone became a little sad. "That's how you lie to me every time, don't you? Shinichi? ”

Chiha's brain was a little short-circuited because he was thinking about what the hell was going on.

"You're Shinichi, aren't you? Well? Xiaolan said to the stunned Conan.

"You... What do you say... Conan came back to his senses from his surprise and quickly began to explain. I... How could I be the new brother! ”

"You can't go wrong!" Xiaolan's determined tone made Conan immediately quiet down. "Your ability to act, your ability to reason, your knowledge, and even your ignorance of music are exactly the same!"

"But, Sister Lan," Conan said speechlessly. "I'm a child!!"

"You must have drunk some strange drug made by Dr. Asasa, right?" Xiaolan replied immediately.

“。。。” After hearing this, Qian Yu's mind suddenly became clear.

Conan's condition is a bit similar to himself!

"Don't treat me as a fool!" Xiaolan's emotions became agitated again. "I have a lot to say to you!"

"Do you have proof?" Conan's tone suddenly became scornful.

"Huh?" Xiaolan was stunned.

"Don't talk nonsense without evidence -. - Conan's tone became more laily.

"Huh!" Ran chuckled, then snatched Conan's glasses off.

"Ahhh Conan tried to retrieve the glasses, but was unsuccessful.

"Aren't you going to tell the truth?" Xiaolan asked. "I've never seen anyone look so alike!"

"That's because..." Conan was in the middle of his sentence when a third man's voice appeared.

"Ran-chan?" A woman's voice came. "Why are you still in front of my house so late?"

"Shinichi's mother?" Xiaolan was stunned. "When did you come back from Los Angeles?"

"I just came back on the last flight~~" the woman replied with a smile. "Because something happened! Hmm-that's the one next to you? ”

"Yo," Ran said with a smile as she looked at Conan. "That's just right."

Picking up Conan, Ran lifted him up to the woman. "Confess to your real mother!"

“？？？” The woman was stunned. "Isn't this Conan? Long time no see! ”

"Hey???" Xiaolan was stunned. "You know him?"

"yes!" The woman said as a matter of course. "He's my grandfather's brother's daughter's cousin's uncle's grandson!"

"Huh?" Before Xiaolan could react, Qian Yu was already confused.

Isn't the uncle of a grandfather's brother's daughter's cousin equivalent to a grandfather or a grandfather's other brother? Such a long list of kinship relationships is definitely made up... I still didn't make it up without thinking about it...

"Speaking of reasoning, action, and knowledge," Conan immediately countered. "Qianyu is not worse than me at all!"

"Uhhh Xiaolan was stunned for a long time, and finally apologized. "Conan ... It seems that Sister Xiaolan made a mistake, can you forget all what I said before? Go back and Sister Xiaolan will make you a burger to eat! ”

"That..." The woman asked. "Can I stay with Conan for a day or two? I haven't seen him in a long time. ”

"Okay, okay..." Xiaolan apologized. "Then I'll go back first! Good night, Conan! ”

"Good night, Sister Xiaolan!"

Qian Yu listened for a long time, and no more conversations came, so he went back to the house with a bunch of doubts.
