Stay away from Conan

"What? A three-way meeting in the afternoon? I..."

The day after returning to Tokyo from Osaka, since nothing unexpected happened, Xiaolan, Conan and the others went to school as normal.

In the morning, when Xiaolan heard the head teacher mention it, in the afternoon, the teachers, students, and parents of Class B of the second grade met face to face to discuss the students' performance at school or at home, and the path the students wanted to take in the future. The three-way discussion day was what was called "way out guidance" in high school.

For this reason, because a lot of things happened during the previous holiday, Xiaolan even forgot to talk to Mori Kogoro about this matter, so she couldn't help but look very anxious——

"What's wrong, Xiaolan? You haven't told your parents about this yet, have you?"

In response, when Xiaolan who was sitting at the front table made such a sound, Suzuki Sonoko in the back row couldn't help but patted Xiaolan's shoulder and asked Xiaolan in a low voice.

Hearing this, Xiaolan turned her head, nodded slightly, and replied with a slightly wry smile:

"Well...because a lot of things happened during this holiday..."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Hearing Xiaolan's answer, Yuanzi couldn't help but nodded silently——

"Moori-san! Suzuki-san! Don't whisper during class!"

However, while Xiaolan and Yuanzi were talking like this, the female head teacher standing on the podium noticed their actions and warned them angrily.

Immediately, after hearing the teacher's words, Xiaolan and Yuanzi quickly sat upright and fell silent.

"Also, Mori-san, do you know where Kudo-san is? Will he come to the three-way interview in the afternoon?"

"Huh? This..."

Hearing this, Xiaolan was startled at first, and then lowered her head uncertainly.

However, the head teacher seemed to just emphasize it and continued the class without asking for Xiaolan’s answer——

"Yes, Xiaolan, where is that guy Shinichi? Didn't you just meet him not long ago? As for today's three-way meeting, he should come anyway!"

In this regard, after hearing this question from the head teacher, Yuanzi couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

"This...I don't know either..."

I really don’t know. Xiaolan could only reply like this when faced with this question.

Hearing this, Yuanzi couldn't help but roll his eyes towards the window on the side, and said with some sigh:

"Haha, that guy is really free..."

"Suzuki-san!"

However, noticing that Yuanzi was talking again, the head teacher continued to shout to Yuanzi seriously, which immediately frightened Yuanzi into silence again. She stopped speaking until the end of the class——

In this way, the class passed quickly.

During the break between classes, Sonoko, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally seemed to be relieved, lying on the table and sighing——

"it is finally over……"

As if lying on the table to rest for a while, Yuanzi quickly stood up, and then asked Xiaolan without caring about the topic of conversation in class:

"So Xiaolan, who are you going to call over this afternoon?"

"this……"

Speaking of this, thinking that Kogoro Mouri and Officer Megure went out to investigate the matter about Murakami's father today, and thinking that Fei Yingri said last night that her work has been too busy recently, so after thinking again and again, she still said:

"Let me see if my mother is free..."

"That's right. It's really disturbing that your dad comes to school like that to talk about your future guidance..."

As for Xiaolan's choice, Yuanzi expressed his opinion very casually, and then returned to the previous question:

"But what should we do about that guy Shinichi?"

"I don't know. He probably doesn't know that there are three parties talking today... I'll try to see if I can contact him..."

With that said, Xiaolan borrowed the cell phone from Yuanzi, and first called Fei Yingli to explain the situation. Unexpectedly, Fei Yingli agreed immediately.

However, regarding the next matter of contacting Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan could only try to contact Dr. Ali first to see if Dr. Ali could contact Kudo Shinichi and tell him about the three-way negotiation, and The result is just "try to find a way".

There was nothing good to do about this, so Xiaolan had no choice but to wait.

Around noon, Sonoko's cell phone received a call from Kudo Shinichi. After Xiaolan answered it, she got a reply from Kudo Shinichi——

He said that the three-way interview was impossible, and his parents were still overseas and could not come.

Of course, if the head teacher asked about her future, Xiaolan would just answer her as a "detective". Otherwise, she would not say anything and hang up the phone.

Regarding this, Yuanzi, who was listening to the conversation between the two, could only express helplessly and clearly:

"Sure enough, that's what that guy would say!"

So, since Kudo Shinichi said so, there was no other way. In the afternoon, Fei Yingli came to the school and completed Xiaolan’s three-way interview. Since there were no other course arrangements, Xiaolan Following Fei Yingli and Yuanzi, who was waiting for Xiaolan to leave together, the three of them left the school together——

During the interview, because Xiaolan had excellent academic performance and performed well in the karate club, after learning that Xiaolan planned to enter higher school, the teacher did not mention Xiaolan too much. On the contrary, because Kudo Shinichi did not show up in the end, and Xiaolan was the person most familiar with Kudo Shinichi's situation in the school, so she casually asked Xiaolan about Kudo Shinichi's situation.

So, Xiaolan talked about Kudo Shinichi's career plan to be a detective.

As a result, the teacher immediately became worried about this. Although Kudo Shinichi had excellent academic performance, he had already missed too many classes because of his work as a detective. He had not come to school for a long time. This time, he did not even show up for the three-way interview. This inevitably makes the teacher very worried about Kudo Shinichi's future.

But unexpectedly, Fei Yingli, who was present at the time, said to the teacher:

"What's wrong with the detective?"

This made the teacher a little embarrassed, so he ended the three-way interview hastily.

"Mom, how could you talk to the teacher like that?"

After walking out of school, Xiaolan looked at Fei Yingli beside her blankly. She didn't expect Fei Yingli to say such things at that time.

"Yes, hasn't Auntie Yingli always said that Uncle Kogoro is a stupid detective who is simply incomprehensible to a detective?"

Yuanzi on the side also asked doubtfully.

"Despite saying that, it seems that mom still understands dad's work and loves dad."

But soon, Xiaolan seemed to understand Fei Yingli's actions and said with a smile.

"What can I say? That person is just a stupid detective... However, from the perspective of the detective job itself, it is indeed a socially beneficial job."

Fei Yingli said as if she was a little disgusted, but more like she was defending herself.

"Really, mom is not honest at all..."

Seeing Fei Yingli's reaction, Xiaolan, who was very pleased, couldn't help but say.

"The relationship between husband and wife cannot be lived just because of pure love."

But when it came to this, Fei Yingli still said with a serious face.

"Ah, really?"

Xiaolan asked in confusion, and Yuanzi also had the same confused attitude.

"Yes, you will understand when you get married. When you like someone, you can ignore many of his shortcomings, but after you are really together, you have to start to endure a lot of things..."

After saying that, Fei Yingli looked at Xiaolan with a serious face and said with meaning:

"Xiaolan, you have to think clearly!"
