Conan: Another Famous Detective

afternoon.

"Wow! The takoyaki here is really delicious!" Kazuye bit off the last piece of octopus ball on the bamboo stick and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.

"Yeah, right! I just said the takoyaki in this store is the best!" Xiaolan said with a smile.

"The taste is indeed good, but it's still a little worse than the ones in Osaka." Hattori Heiji commented lightly.

"Tch~ The snacks you ate in Osaka weren't that good last time, were they?" Mouri Kogoro snorted coldly.

"You added too much sauce here, which destroys the original flavor of the octopus!" Hattori Heiji immediately retorted.

Mouri Kogoro slapped the table: "What do you know, little brat? Only by adding rich sauce can the flavor of octopus and oil be brought out even more!"

"Don't forget, takoyaki originated in Osaka!" Hattori Heiji sneered.

"So what? Food from the place of origin must be delicious...eh!" Mouri Kogoro suddenly felt a pain in his ribs.

"Dad! Can you please be quiet! How many guests are here!" Xiaolan bumped Mouri Kogoro hard with her arm.

"That's it! We are guests! How could you, Heiji, talk like that?" Kazuya also tugged on Hattori Heiji's coat in dissatisfaction.

"snort!"

Hattori and Mori snorted coldly and turned their heads to the side at the same time.

The two girls looked at each other and saw helplessness and apology in each other's eyes.

"Eh? Speaking of which, why didn't Conan and Hanomiya-senpai come with them this time?" Kazuha tried to change the subject.

Xiaolan understood and said with a smile: "Conan has caught a cold after all and is resting at home now! Senior Yumiya and Mengyu have to complete the detective commission."

"That's right, then I wish Conan a speedy recovery!" Heye said with a smile.

"Yes! I will convey your blessings to Conan!" Xiaolan smiled and nodded.

"Ah! That's right!" He Ye seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked: "I originally wanted to go find you after the performance, but Yuanzi said that you and Meng Yu had already left. Is there anything urgent for you? "

Xiaolan's eyes flashed slightly, and she said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just that Senior Yumiya and Mengyu asked me to help with some things, so we left as soon as the performance was over."

Seeing that Kazuye seemed to be asking questions again, Xiaolan added: "It's not convenient to say what the specific matter is. After all, it involves the work of Senior Hanomiya..."

"Oh! It's a commission! I understand, I just don't ask." He Ye said very considerately.

In the time that followed, Xiaolan took Ping and the two of them on a walk through the streets and visited some scenery that was not famous but had a unique charm.

Six o'clock in the evening, Tokyo Airport terminal.

"Phew! Finally caught up!"

Yu Gongming and Meng Yu trotted to Ping He who were waiting to board the plane.

"Ha! I thought you wouldn't come!" Hattori Heiji laughed.

Yu Gongming took a few breaths and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, because the client pressed me hard, so I had to work overtime urgently."

"Fortunately, this commission was easier than expected, and we finally caught up."

At this time, a boarding reminder came over the airport announcement.

Hattori Heiji listened to the content of the broadcast and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Oh? It seems that you came at a coincidence. We are just about to board the plane."

"Then I wish you a safe journey!" Meng Yu waved to the two of them.

"Well! Remember to contact us next time you come to Osaka!" Kazuya waved goodbye to several people.

"Goodbye Ye!" Xiaolan smiled.

"Hmph! You two brats, don't bother me anymore next time you come to Tokyo, got it?" Mouri Kogoro had a stinky face and his tone was full of displeasure.

After saying goodbye, Ping and He quickly followed the flow of people into the boarding passage.

Watching the two of them disappear, Akira Hanamiya couldn't help but sigh a little: "It's rare that Hattori came here and no case happened here."

Meng Yu couldn't help but become speechless after hearing this: "Why are you rushing here in such a hurry, not to say goodbye to your friends, but to make sure that the God of Plague has left?"

Yu Gongming coughed lightly: "Ahem, that's not the case. I still have a little bit of heart that I'm here to see my friends off."

"Haha..." Meng Yu smiled noncommittally, turned her head to look at Xiaolan, and showed a meaningful smile:

"Then Xiaolan, it's time for us to go back."

Seeing Meng Yu's smile, Xiaolan's pretty face blushed slightly and she said "hmm" softly.

As for Uncle Maori, after seeing Ping and He leave, he took the lead and walked towards the entrance of the terminal without any sloppiness at all.

Taking the lead, he naturally didn't notice Xiaolan's abnormality.

Afterwards, several people took the circular line and returned to Miwa Town.

Arriving at the back intersection of 2-chome, Hanomiya Akira and his wife separated from Mouri and his daughter.

Soon, Maori and his daughter returned to the office.

Mouri Kogoro couldn't wait to rush upstairs, turned on the TV in the living room, and murmured: "Okay, okay, Miss Okino Yoko's show just started... Hehe!"

Xiaolan walked into the living room and took a look at Mouri Kogoro who looked like a crazy man and wanted to get into the TV.

In normal times, Xiaolan would definitely say a few words.

But now, she has no time to care about these trivial matters.

In her mind, she couldn't help but recall Shinichi's whisper in her ear when she left Kudo's house:

"Xiaolan, let's go to the Lookout Restaurant for dinner at eight o'clock tonight. I have something to say to you..."

Xiaolan lowered her eyes slightly and walked into her room with some confusion.

"What does Shinichi want to say to me? Why go to such a high-end restaurant..."

Whispering in her heart, Xiaolan opened her closet.

"This one... seems to be too dark in color... this one... is too bright... this one... ah! It doesn't seem to fit well anymore. After all, I have grown a lot this year..."

Xiaolan seemed to be suffering from difficulty in choosing. She stood in front of the wardrobe for more than ten minutes and still had not picked out the clothes she wanted to wear tonight.

Finally, she chose a light blue dress.

"Well! I should have thought of it a long time ago. Shinichi likes red because of me. In fact, whether it is the clothes Shinichi usually wears or the color of Conan's clothes, we can see that he should like blue. …”

Xiaolan lowered her head and looked at the dress she was holding in her hands, showing a gentle smile: "Since he finally came back once, let's accommodate him this time!"

After choosing the most important dress, Xiaolan found other changes of clothes, then left the room and headed to the bathroom.

About half an hour later...

Xiaolan, wearing a light blue dress, walked out of the bedroom.

Passing by the living room, Xiaolan took a casual glance.

A variety show hosted by Okino Yoko was playing on the TV. While drinking beer, Moori Kogoro shouted: "Miss Yoko is so beautiful!"

Xiaolan frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing:

"Forget it, this time I'm meeting Shinichi, and dad doesn't know anything about Shinichi. If he asks, it will be difficult to explain..."

Xiaolan had made up her mind, so she did not disturb Kogoro Mori. She silently went to the entrance to change her shoes, then gently opened the door and left the Mori Detective Agency.
