Stay away from Conan

Chapter 271 In the Villa Courtyard

"What are you doing, Sister Xiaolan?"

Upstairs in the Maori Detective Agency, Conan looked at Mao Lilan in the kitchen, holding a cooking book in one hand and controlling a snow pan with the other, seeming to be doing something. He then thought of what he heard about Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko today. conversation, he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.

"This scent is chocolate!"

Conan said, smelling the smell coming from the pot.

"Because tomorrow is the annual Valentine's Day."

Mao Lilan replied gently.

"Ah? Sister Xiaolan, do you have someone you can give chocolate to?"

Pretending to be curious, Conan couldn't help but ask.

"You are very rude."

When Mao Lilan faced Conan's words, she couldn't help but said lightly, "If you don't have a partner, how can you make chocolate by yourself?"

"Huh? Really?"

Hearing such an answer, Conan was still a little unwilling, and made a conjecture that even he didn't believe:

"If I guessed correctly, brother Shinichi is coming back."

"Shinichi?"

Regarding this name, Mao Lilan couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic and a little depressed - what on earth was that guy doing after disappearing without saying a word for so long.

But he refused to admit defeat and said:

"When you said that, I just thought about that guy."

Although Conan was prepared for this, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard Mao Lilan say this.

So, the next morning, when the burly man came to the Maori Detective Agency to pick up Mao Lilan for the Valentine's Day party, Conan quietly slipped into the car driven by the man——

"Now that things have happened, I must find out exactly where that box of chocolates went!"

With this in mind, Conan hid in the trunk of the vehicle and followed him to the Valentine's Day party that Mao Lilan and the others were going to attend.

At the same time, in Mingzhi's house, Gao Yuan, who had just woken up, was going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. But as soon as he came to the living room, he saw Haihara Ai, who had already gotten up. She had just finished eating the breakfast on the table. It should be her. made.

At the same time, a prepared Western breakfast was already placed in front of Gaoyuan's seat.

Gao Yuan was not too surprised by this. After all, these days, no matter who got up early to make breakfast between himself and Haibara Ai, he would make breakfast for himself while also making one for the other person, although there was no agreement. , but it can be regarded as a tacit understanding these days.

So, without thinking too much, Gao Yuan sat down to eat breakfast, while Haibara Ai put the finished dishes back into the kitchen and was about to go back to the room——

"By the way, Haiyuan, I have to go out to handle a commission later. You can handle lunch by yourself."

Thinking of the promise he made to his client, Miss Watanabe, Gao Yuan couldn't help but explain it to Haihara Ai.

"Okay, I know."

With a calm tone, Haiyuan Ai walked up the stairs.

Gao Yuan glanced at the current time, picked up the mug out of habit, and took a sip. However, as soon as the hot drink in the cup entered his throat, a strong bitter taste filled his throat.

Fortunately, it has a taste similar to black coffee. Since Gao Yuan often drinks unsweetened iced American style, he can naturally accept this taste. After getting used to it, he drank all the hot drinks in the cup——

Chocolate milk? Or unsweetened dark chocolate milk? New product?

Although he was a little curious, after thinking about it, Gao Yuan still felt that he would not take the initiative to buy this kind of drink. After all, it didn't taste good and it was different from the iced American style.

After finishing the rest of the food, he took the plates and other dishes to the kitchen to wash them and put them away. Gao Yuan looked at the time and hurried out. However, because the destination was not too far away, Gao Yuan did not choose to drive.

On the stairs, Haiyuan Ai stood in front of the railing on the second floor, watching Gao Yuan finish the hot drink in his cup, then a slight blush appeared on his slightly cold face, and then walked back to his room... …

…

"cheers!"

In a villa in the 4th-chome of Mika Town, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were brought here by a man, and in the living room of the villa, they saw people attending the Valentine's Day party.

In addition to the burly boy in a red vest who brought them here, there were four others.

A young, handsome, slim boy wearing a brown suit.

A young and beautiful girl with short black fluffy hair who looks very elegant.

A somewhat handsome girl with short brown hair and somewhat androgynous clothing.

There is another person who is a slightly fat boy wearing glasses.

They were both medical students at Mihua University and members of the tennis club. Seeing that the burly man could invite two young high school girls, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, to the party, they all welcomed them. Participate, so everyone poured drinks and toasted together to celebrate, which seemed very lively.

"Well, Miss Mouriran and Miss Suzuki Sonoko, let us first introduce ourselves. We are members of the Tennis Club of the Faculty of Medicine at Miwa University... Minagawa, let me introduce you first!"

The burly man first started chatting enthusiastically after drinking the drink.

"Okay, I'm the president, my name is Minagawa Katsuhiko, nice to meet you all."

After hearing what the burly boy said, the handsome boy named Minagawa Katsuhiko introduced himself naturally, while Suzuki Sonoko on the side interjected slightly after the other party finished speaking:

"It's true! I'm very happy too!"

As he said that, he took the initiative to hug Minagawa Katsuhiko's arm.

"Okay! Be more restrained, be more restrained!"

The burly boy couldn't help but wonder about this.

"Everyone, my name is Sekiya Kaoru, Miss Sonoko. Although you are still young, please don't be too noisy!"

Sekiya Ko, a girl dressed in androgynous style, also took advantage of this and interjected.

"She is prejudiced against me!"

Hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but let go of her hand in disappointment, and whispered to Mao Lilan beside her, "It's just that she is prettier than me, but she is full of jealousy towards the same sex."

Hearing this, Mao Lilan couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

"Hey! Zhidao, it's your turn next."

The burly boy said to the boy wearing glasses who was still drinking with his head covered, but the boy named Nao Dao did not respond.

In this regard, the burly boy couldn't help but feel helpless——

"Really, you are always so gloomy."

"Everyone, my name is Kaomi Watanabe, please give me your advice."

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat silent for a while, Watanabe Komi, the girl sitting next to Minagawa Katsuhiko, spoke up and introduced herself.

"Okay! Then it's my turn finally!"

Seeing that everyone had finished their introductions, the burly boy stood up and began to introduce himself:

"I am gentle and strong, but also a passionate person who likes to shed tears - Junxiu Wakamatsu, you are me!"

Listening to Toshihide Wakamatsu's speech, the atmosphere of the party was heated up. Everyone chatted happily, but Komi Watanabe received a text message midway, and then embarrassedly interrupted everyone. , stood up and said:

"Sorry, actually there is a guest coming. I'll go pick him up."

"It's so beautiful. Didn't I hear you were bringing friends over?"

After hearing this, Minagawa Katsuhiko said with some displeasure.

"I'm really sorry. I forgot to tell you about what was decided yesterday."

Slightly apologetic, Watanabe said beautifully, then walked out of the villa, came to a nearby intersection, and greeted Gao Yuan who had just arrived -

"Mr. Akechi, here."

Seeing Gao Yuan's figure, Watanabe Homi stepped forward to say hello.

"I'm sorry, Miss Watanabe, I'm not very familiar with this road, so I'd like you to pick me up."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but apologize.

So, under the guidance of Watanabe Kaomi, Gao Yuan arrived at the venue of the party, which was also in front of Minagawa Katsuhiko's villa.

However, as soon as he walked into the open courtyard of the villa, Gao Yuan saw with surprise a small figure hiding behind a small tree in the courtyard - Conan!

"What! This guy Xiaolan looks very happy!"

Conan, who had sneaked over, had been hiding in the courtyard of the villa after getting out of the trunk. From the transparent floor-to-ceiling window facing the courtyard from the living room, he kept paying attention to the situation in the living room and couldn't help but murmur to himself somewhat depressedly.

And at this moment, two shadows suddenly appeared in front of Conan, which shocked Conan——

Turning around and looking around, he saw a man and a woman standing behind him, blocking the sunlight, so that there was a shadow in front of him——

"Conan? Why are you here?"
