Conan: Another Famous Detective

Mouri Kogoro returned to the car: "I'm going to drive the car into a gas station to change the tires and fill up the gas. You guys get out of the car first,"

After hearing this, several people got out of the car one after another.

Mouri Kogoro restarted the car and slowly drove a car with a flat tire into the gas station, while Hanomiya Akira and others waited on the roadside.

After about fifteen minutes, Mouri Kogoro drove out the car with the tires changed, and the group hit the road again.

As time went by, the sky gradually darkened, and it even started to rain quite a bit.

哐哧哓哧!

The car was driving with bumps.

"Uncle Maoli, how did you choose the path?" Meng Yu frowned.

Mouri Kogoro's face turned a little dark: "Damn it! I turned in after the gas station owner said it was a shortcut. Who knew it was such a bad road!"

"I hope that guy didn't lie to me, otherwise I will have to settle the score with him when I go back!"

After more than ten minutes of bumpy driving, the car finally turned onto a fairly flat road.

Everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally we came to a decent road!" Mouri Kogoro muttered.

"Besides, it looks like this road is really a shortcut!" Conan looked at the car window on the right and said:

"Look, isn't that on the right the Dusk Villa we are going to?"

Several people looked around and saw a European-style mansion standing alone in the wilderness in the shadows.

Mouri Kogoro frowned: "It's really spooky. It looks more like a vampire villa than a dusk villa, right?"

"Hey! Dad, don't talk nonsense!" Xiaolan's face immediately turned bad.

"Sister Xiaolan, don't worry! Vampires are all lies!" Conan comforted with a smile.

"Most of the so-called weird legends are actually just rumors." Meng Yu also said.

"That's what I say, but that black invitation is really uncomfortable, and this annex also looks ominous..."

Xiaolan pursed her lips: "Dad? Why don't we just stop going?"

"We are already here, how can we go back home?" Mouri Kogoro replied:

"Besides, we have received checks from others, so it is very unprofessional to go back like this!"

"But... what if there really is a vampire?" Xiaolan was still a little worried.

Mouri Kogoro looked disdainful: "There are no vampires in this world! In a place like this, I think there might be an old mountain demon!"

As soon as Mouri Kogoro finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the car lights!

"Huh?" Mouri Kogoro's expression changed and he quickly stepped on the brakes.

The car stopped dangerously, less than half a meter away from the figure.

Under the illumination of the car lights, an old woman with a stooped figure and a wrinkled face came into view.

"Wow! There really is an old monster in the mountains!" Kogoro Mouri couldn't help shouting, and Xiaolan exclaimed in fright and hugged Conan beside her.

Conan felt the soft touch on his arm, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He swallowed quietly, looked forward, and said, "Sister Xiaolan, don't be afraid, that's just an old woman holding an umbrella."

"Eh?" Xiaolan looked forward again after hearing this.

The old woman looked at a few people and frowned slightly: "Sir, it's really rude of you to say that to a woman you're meeting for the first time!"

"So madam, why are you here?" Yu Gongming asked.

The old woman pointed to the roadside not far away, where a car was parked: "As you can see, my baby Felt suddenly couldn't move, so I waited here for someone to pass by."

The old woman said and came to the car window: "You should also be going to the Dusk Villa, right? Can you give me a ride?"

"Ah? But we are already full..." Mouri Kogoro said with a smile.

The old woman looked inside the car and said, "Wouldn't there be a place for the two ladies to hold the child?"

She looked around and continued: "This place is already very remote, and now it's raining. You can't watch an old man like me get wet here, right?"

"Ah this..." Mouri Kogoro looked at the two girls and Conan in the back row.

"Then let Xiaolan hold Conan, so that the old lady can have a place." Mengyu said first.

"Eh? Can't you hold Mengyu?" Xiaolan said with an unnatural expression.

"I have no experience in holding children, so you should do it. Didn't you often hold Conan before?" Meng Yu said with a smile.

"But..." Xiaolan looked at Conan hesitantly.

Before, he treated Conan as a seven-year-old child, and it didn't matter if he hugged him, but now...

"Okay Xiaolan, you can hold Conan." Mouri Kogoro said.

Seeing that Mouri Kumagoro had already spoken, Xiaolan had no choice but to swallow back what she originally wanted to say.

She looked at Conan and said, "Conan, let me hold you, but you can't move around!"

Conan nodded quickly with a smile on his face: "Yes! I understand!"

With that said, he quickly sat on Xiaolan's lap, and quietly gave Mengyu a grateful look.

She is indeed my biological sister! Know how to give benefits to your brother!

Seeing that the seat was empty, the old woman said, "Ah! By the way, I still have some luggage in the car. Can you help me move it?"

"No problem!" Mouri Kogoro agreed readily.

Anyway, we have already agreed to give them a ride, so moving luggage is nothing.

Soon, they put the old woman's luggage in the trunk, and after the old woman got in the car, they set off again.

After a while, Conan suddenly felt Xiaolan's body behind him move awkwardly.

He couldn't help but turn around and ask: "What's wrong with Sister Xiaolan?"

Xiaolan blushed, and then she leaned into Conan's ear with some embarrassment and whispered: "I... suddenly really want to go to the toilet..."

"Uh... I see..." Conan turned his head in embarrassment and said nothing more.

"Miss, don't blame me for talking too much..." The old woman on the side suddenly spoke.

"The principal of the elementary school in our town often tells others that a successful person is someone who will not let go of any opportunity."

"A person who keeps waiting for the same opportunity will never come no matter how long he waits. Do you understand?"

Xiaolan looked at the old woman with some confusion, wondering why she suddenly said such a thing without any clue.

The old woman looked at Xiaolan and smiled slightly: "When you stopped at the gas station just now, if you took the convenience, you wouldn't have the current problem, right?"

"Eh?" When Xiaolan heard this, she looked at the old woman with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Conan also looked slightly moved and asked: "Old lady, why did you know that we stopped at the gas station?"
