Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 2422 2426 [Kudo Shinichi's Confession] Ask for monthly votes ()

"Actually..." Kudo Shinichi took a deep breath and prepared his words.

This overlooking restaurant overlooking the entire rice flower is actually the place where his father Kudo Yusaku proposed marriage - the old Kudo used this romantic way to kidnap his young wife, the queen of the screen.

Therefore, Kudo Shinichi always felt that this place was auspicious, maybe it was the lucky place of their Kudo family. And now that he was free, he might as well follow his father's steps and confess: to put it another way, whether it was accepted or rejected, at least with this matter in front of him, Xiaolan would definitely forget about the stage or not, Judy or not.

Thinking of this, looking at the pretty and lovely girl opposite, Kudo Shinichi's heart beat violently: "Actually, I..."

Mouri Ran looked at his shy appearance and sighed: "Why are you hesitating? How come you become so slow after going out - you just want to borrow my notes from this period of time, just say no, will I not lend it to you?"

Kudo Shinichi felt a bolt of lightning falling, cracking the pink bubbles around him, and he said in a daze: "Ah?"

Mouri Ran took the shoulder bag she carried with her, searched for a while, and took out a thick stack of photocopies from it: "I knew you were going to say this, so I had already photocopied it."

Kudo Shinichi: "..." Who wants to say this!

Across from her, Mao Lilan flipped through the thick notebook in her hand, and suddenly remembered something, a little curious: "You said Jiang Xia never went to class and never borrowed notes from me. How did he always get full marks in the exams?"

After a pause, Mao Lilan suddenly realized: "Someone must have secretly lent it to him! - Every time Jiang Xia is not in school, a lot of things are stuffed in the desk hole. Since some people put love letters and handmade gifts, there must be some smart people who will put some practical items such as copy of notes. Hiss, the students are really creative..."

When Kudo Shinichi heard this name, his eyes could not help but drift to a nearby table: "..." Why did you suddenly mention Jiang Xia? For some reason, he always had a bad premonition...

He was about to change the subject to save the situation, but at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the side door, and several figures ran quickly.

Although those figures only appeared in the field of vision for a short moment, Kudo Shinichi still relied on his keen observation and recognized the person at a glance - it turned out to be Inspector Megure.

Kudo Shinichi: “…?”

Why did Inspector Megure appear here? He doesn’t look like the kind of person who has time to leisurely eat dinner… Wait, come to think of it, were there some unusual noises outside a few minutes ago?

If I remember correctly, it was a series of chaotic footsteps and the sound of paper salutes… Hmm? The sound of salutes? According to his experience, this kind of noise can easily be used by others to fish in muddy waters and mix in some less legal factors… For example, shooting?

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, some guest happened to see the scene, and a terrified scream of “Ah——!!” suddenly came from the corridor outside the door.

“?!” Ran Mao Li was startled and looked up with her notebook in her arms, “What sound?”

Kudo Shinichi felt that his bad premonition had come true: “…” Damn, his unspoken confession… Why did a murder happen at this time!

… But on the bright side, it may not be a murder, maybe just a thief sneaked in.

Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi tried to keep smiling and answered Mao Lilan's question: "It seems like someone is screaming - maybe a lady saw a cockroach and was scared."

The waiter passing by was stunned and quickly explained: "Sir, we don't have cockroaches here."

Kudo Shinichi tried to continue the date: "That's a mouse!"

Waiter: "?" Nonsense! We are very clean here, the floor in the corner of the kitchen is polished to a shine, and ants will sprain their ankles if they go there!

Kudo Shinichi did not notice the faint resentment from the workers, because at this time, a strange guest in a suit and leather shoes trotted in.

The strange guest passed by them with a little excitement, stopped at the table behind, and said to his friend sitting there: "Something happened, something big happened!"

The friend wiped his mouth in surprise: "What happened? You tell me slowly."

Kudo Shinichi answered in his heart: "..." Mouse, it must be a super-sized mutant mouse!

Strange guest: "I heard that someone died in the elevator! And it seems to be a big shot. I heard several people gathered there and called him the president."

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

He took a deep breath and tried to maintain this fragile date. He said to Mao Lilan: "It's just 'heard'. It should be a rumor. For example, someone fell in the elevator, and then it was spread like this. Haha, the onlookers are always so impatient."

As soon as he finished speaking, another person ran over excitedly and said to his friend: "Our president is dead! He was shot in the head and blood flowed all over the elevator. The police are already questioning witnesses over there, but the suspects were not present at the time. Don't you think this is strange?"

Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but roll up his sleeves: "..." Everyone was not present? Humph, it must be that someone used some kind of magical method to forge an alibi and let him find out the liar!

He was about to get up, and he caught a glimpse of Mao Lilan opposite him, and was suddenly startled: "..."

Date, solve the case, date, solve the case...

The balance in Kudo Shinichi's mind instantly became a mess. At this moment, he looked up and found that Jiang Xia and Huihara Ai had obviously noticed the commotion not far away. The two people were obviously curious about the case, so they decisively dropped their meals and went to the stairwell together.

Kudo Shinichi: "..." That's right, just leave the case to Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia will definitely solve the case soon...

But he also wants to solve the case!

It was a child who couldn't help it before, but now he has finally changed, but he still can only wander around the edges of the case and cannot express his reasoning openly...

When he thought about a mysterious case happening nearby, but he could only watch, Kudo Shinichi's heart was as sharp as a knife.

"Go if you want." At this time, a voice floated from the other side. Mao Lilan forked a piece of pudding, slightly speechless, "Your eyes are almost glued to the scene - I'm fine tonight anyway, it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer. "

"Xiaolan..." Kudo Shinichi looked moved, "Then I'll go and come back quickly, I'll be back soon!"

The high school detective belatedly discovered the option "Mature adults can have it all." He stood up and trotted quickly towards the source of the chaos.
