Conan: The Master Behind the Scenes

That night.

In a newly opened restaurant in the downtown area of Beika Town

"Really? You really can't come.……"

Xiaolan was wearing a floral dress and was making a phone call with regret.

The voice on the other end of the phone was very competent:"I'm sorry, I have a job coming up and I can't leave for the time being."

"If I work, there is no way.……"

Xiaolan's blue eyes flickered twice, and she said regretfully:"I wanted to take this opportunity to formally introduce Mr. Shiraishi to my mother!"

After saying this, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of Xiaolan's mouth.

Her eyes secretly swept over Shiraishi Takeshi, who was sitting with Maori, Kogoro, and Conan not far away, and the light of love flashed.

"Shiraishi Takeshi……"

On the other side of the phone, Hibiki Eri paused while sorting documents. She looked at the wedding ring on her hand and thought of the abnormality she noticed when she saw Xiaolan last time. Her tone became heavy:"Xiaolan...……"

"Well, what's wrong?"Xiaolan still had a sweet look on her face, and didn't notice the heavy tone of Fei Yingli's voice at all.

"Xiaolan, tell me the truth, are you in love with that guy named Shiraishi Takeshi?" Fei Yingli suddenly asked sternly

"ah——"

Xiaolan suddenly cried out in panic, her pretty face full of the nervousness of being caught having an affair.

"What's wrong, Xiaolan?" Conan looked over in confusion.

"Xiaolan, who are you talking to on the phone?"Mouri Kogoro asked

"No, nothing.……"

Xiaolan's panicked eyes swept across the two of them, and finally looked at Bai Shiwu. She hurriedly took two steps away and whispered,"Mom, what are you thinking about? I, I, how could I possibly like Mr. Bai Shi?!"

"Really?"Hiki Eri is an experienced person, how could she not feel her daughter's current tone?

"Of course! Mom, Mr. Shiraishi is already married! What are you thinking about all day long?"Xiaolan once again brought up the fact that Mr. Shiraishi was already married.

"What's wrong with getting married? Marriage is so unreliable nowadays!"

Hiki Eri's face was full of seriousness. Thinking about the current situation between herself and Maori Kogoro, the last time she got drunk and went crazy with Shiraishi Takeshi, and the current state of her daughter, she started to have a headache.

""Mom! Don't worry! Even if I like Mr. Shiraishi, I will never interfere with the relationship between the couple!"

Xiaolan clenched her fists and said firmly, and then secretly added in her heart:"As long as Wu is here, I will be very satisfied!"

""Okay, okay, my work here is about to begin, so I won't talk about this any more!"

After hearing Xiaolan's firm promise, Fei Yingli breathed a sigh of relief, and her frown also relaxed.

Fei Yingli certainly knew her daughter's character.

Xiaolan was a stubborn person.

She would stick to what she promised.

So, after hearing Xiaolan's firm promise, Fei Yingli's uneasiness in her heart was completely put down.

"Oh, oh, okay then!" Xiaolan nodded.

"Oh, by the way, tell that guy not to drink too much. If he gets drunk and messes around with young girls, I won’t help him sue if anything goes wrong!" Fei Yingli reminded

""Okay, mom, you still miss dad in your heart, right? Then why don't you come back and live with us!" Xiaolan glanced at Bai Shiwu who was chatting happily with Bai Shiwu, and said with a smile

"Forget it, Xiaolan, remember, mom doesn't care whether you like Shiraishi Takeshi or not, but please keep your distance from him. If you, a high school girl, always stay with a married man, it will inevitably cause gossip!"Hiki Eri emphasized again.

"Got it! Goodbye, Mom.……"Xiaolan nodded.

She returned to the dining table and sighed with a depressed look on her face:"Ah~~~~"

"You'll have a feast soon, why are you sighing? Maori Kogoro rolled his eyes at Xiaolan.

"But……"

Xiaolan wanted to explain something, and at this time, Conan interrupted and said,"Sister Xiaolan, did you also ask Auntie Hibiki to come with you?"

"Ah, um, well, that's right.……"Xiaolan nodded blankly

"Humph! I knew it!"

Mouri Kogoro said proudly:"Suddenly someone said: A very beautiful restaurant has opened recently, let's go and have a look! I guess there must be a ghost.……"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop pretending. If you're interested in it and it's delicious and cheap, you should come and try it.……"Conan is speechless

"But it's really hard to make a reservation at this store.……"Xiaolan explained frustratedly

"It's hard to make a reservation, but it's definitely popular! As long as the food looks delicious, the price is reasonable, and the atmosphere is good, those annoying young people will come here to socialize or date!"Mouri Kogoro took a sip of beer.

"Yes! The atmosphere in this place is really good! But why did Xiaolan invite Bai Shiwu to come with her? And the two of them wore the same color clothes and pants today.……"

Conan glared at Shiraishi Takeshi with an unhappy look on his face.

Xiaolan was wearing a blue and white floral dress today.

And Shiraishi Takeshi was also wearing a blue and white casual sweatshirt today.

The two of them sat at the dining table, looking like a handsome couple.

Conan was jealous.——

""Eh? Isn't this Mr. Maori?"

Just then, a crisp male voice came from the back aisle.

"Hmm?" Maori Kogoro turned his head in confusion.

""Qian, Detective Chiba! And Officer Shiratori!" Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise

"What's going on? Two grown men come here to eat?" Maori Kogoro said with a playful look on his face.

"No way! We are here for socializing, socializing!!"Qianye explained with a silly smile.

"Social gathering? Officer Shiratori, you too?" Xiaolan asked in confusion.

"I, I was forced to come here by Qianye to make up the numbers!" Bai Niao touched his head and explained.

"Hey, Chiba! You're late!" A man with a yellow crew cut came over.

"Ah, it's Jiang Ben!"Qianye turned around and said with a smile

"The girls are all here and have started drinking!"

Jiang Ben pointed to a private room not far away and said with a mysterious smile,"By the way, Chiba! We are super lucky today!"

"Hmm?" Qianye asked doubtfully.

"Among the girls who came to participate, there are two super cute girls!"Masashi Emoto said with a smile

"Wow! Really?"Qianye was surprised

"One of them seems to be an old friend of my sister, and the other is said to be that person’s best friend. I heard that both of them seem to work in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department!" Masashi Emoto thought

"Tokyo……"

"Metropolitan Police Department……"

Chiba and Shiratori looked at each other, and a bad feeling came over them.
