Stay away from Conan

Chapter 1754 Actions of All Parties

"Well, Dad said that only those who bravely accept challenges are considered Tokyoites. Now he is preparing to ask Sonoko to help him put on makeup. However, he is worried about his look..."

Facing Dr. Ali’s inquiry, Xiaolan answered the question like this:

"Because this invitation says... Since it is a Halloween party, all participants must dress up as monsters and wear black suits or formal wear to attend...

"Of course, companions also want it."

"Companion? Xiaolan, do you want to go too?"

Hearing this, Dr. Ali asked nervously.

Xiaolan seemed a little scared about this, and said in a slightly nervous tone:

"How can you go! That kind of party where there are all monsters!"

Being so loud seemed to be covering up his inner guilt.

In this regard, because of his understanding of Xiaolan, Dr. Ali did not find it strange and just replied:

"That's right..."

"Ah, there is something else I want to ask the doctor..."

In this case, Xiaolan turned around and asked nervously.

"Um?"

Dr. Ali was confused.

"Since it has been sent to my father, that means...will it be at Shinichi's place..."

"Ah? Shinichi... No one from the Shinichi family has sent letters recently..."

Hearing Xiaolan ask about this matter, Dr. Ali could not help but feel guilty and explained to Xiaolan -

Although Shinichi did receive such an invitation, but...

You can't tell Xiaolan, especially when Mouri Kogoro is also invited to attend the party in the evening.

In this way, after hearing Dr. Ali's answer, Xiaolan seemed to be relieved and responded:

"That's it...ah, sorry to bother you..."

Saying this, Xiaolan actually had a lot of things to say in her heart. At the same time, she also understood that what she said to Dr. Ali would be heard by Conan, so after thinking anxiously for a long time, Xiaolan still held back. I didn’t ask any more questions——

After all, it always feels like a new one...

He must have received this invitation letter, right?

But Dr. Ali said no...

This is because I don’t want to worry myself.

But……

Thinking of this, Xiaolan recalled what she saw at Teacher Judy's house last night——

This time, the person who sent the letter was called "Vermouth". It should be a name only foreigners would give, right? Speaking of foreigners, they recently appeared next to me, and at the same time they were also interested in Conan...

For a moment, the figure of Teacher Judy lingered in Xiaolan's mind.

At this moment, Xiaolan didn't know what to do. After all, she was basically certain about Conan's true identity. However, after several previous experiences, she didn't dare to tell anyone about this matter now, so she could only treat it as nothing. Things happened, and the status quo remained.

However, after discovering something strange about Teacher Judy last night, she discovered that Teacher Judy was probably coming for Conan. This situation inevitably made Xiaolan a little anxious——

On the one hand, she was not sure of Teacher Judy's true purpose, on the other hand, she did not dare to tell anyone about it, and she received an invitation to such a strange party today...

Xiaolan felt that all of this might be connected, and that Teacher Judy's resignation just at this time must be inseparable from this matter.

Therefore, from Xiaolan's perspective, many things become difficult to deal with——

After all, I no longer dare to take the initiative to reveal Conan's identity, because there must be a very big secret behind this matter, otherwise Mr. Akechi, Dr. Agasa, and Shinichi's mother would not have been trying to hide it from him. .

On the other hand, Xiaolan didn't want to believe that Teacher Judy was a bad person because of her contact with him these days. However, the photos she saw at her house made her unable to feel at ease...

At this time, who can you trust?

What if what you do accidentally ruins Conan's plan?

So, I just need to believe them...

——"It's not okay to immediately rely on others if you don't work hard!"

Suddenly, at this moment, what Teacher Judy told her appeared in Xiaolan's mind again——

Own……

May I?

At this moment, Xiaolan felt deeply suspicious and wanted to do something but couldn't——

At least, I can't say anything directly to Conan and the others now.

So, is there anything you can do?

Conan and the others don’t know what they are doing, and it is very likely that rashly participating in it will cause trouble to them, so is it better not to get involved...

Relatively speaking, Teacher Judy's side...

Teacher Judy secretly took so many photos of Conan and the others. What happened? And is this matter only known to you now? So should I do something?

Xiaolan, who was thinking like this, looked at Sonoko helping Moori Kogoro put on makeup and trying on various "monster" costumes in the Mouri Detective Agency. Xiaolan was thinking about what to do tonight. When Sonoko went to that party with her father, maybe she should do something...

…

"Halloween party? What? Is today Halloween?"

In a black "Porsche 356A" car driving on the road, Vodka, who was sitting in the passenger seat, listened to Gin who was driving, and couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked -

After all, it can't be Halloween now, right?

In response, Gin explained in a cold tone:

"Ah, I heard that the hotel started a messy party in Yokohama tonight..."

"But, but..."

Listening to Gin's description of the party, Vodka couldn't help but feel puzzled-

"Brother, why would I go to such a noisy place?"

-Holding a Halloween party at this time? If it's not nonsense, what is it? Moreover, those who would attend such a party are probably just some monsters, is there any reason to go?

"Because Vermouth is involved..."

In response, Gin explained.

"Huh?"

Hearing this name, Vodka was a little surprised. After all, it has been a long time since he heard that this woman did anything serious after returning. As a result, this strange thing happened?

"We were ordered to investigate the contents."

Gin explained calmly:

"I've long been fed up with that woman's secrecy, so... although I haven't gotten permission, I won't let her off easily if she does anything out of line...

"Even if that woman is the one that adult likes!"

Gin said this with a sharp look in his eyes.

Looking at Gin's serious attitude, Vodka felt a chill, knowing that Gin seemed to be serious, and his dislike for Vermouth had become stronger -

Although he knew that the adult's attitude towards Vermouth was very special, even if he didn't know the specific situation, did the eldest brother have such an idea?

So, very seriously, Vodka nodded and firmly agreed to Gin's words...
