Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 203 Phantom Thief?

In the end, Ai still failed to get her photo back from Mingmei. She could only watch her sister reach a deal with Conan and hand over the photo of her that just revealed her true feelings to Conan.

In response to this, Xiao Aiqi didn't want to talk to Conan the whole way.

Although she was grateful to Conan for finding the message her mother left for her, she would never easily let go of the fact that Conan kept the embarrassing photos of her!

"By the way, Conan, thank you."

Suddenly, Xiao Ai came to Conan and whispered thank you to him. Conan was stunned when he heard it, and a smile appeared on his face:

"What did you just say? I didn't hear you?!"

"Well, forget it if you didn't hear it. I'm only saying this once anyway."

Looking at the expression on Conan's face, how could Xiao Ai not know that he had actually heard it, and now he said it deliberately, just to make fun of her! She would not give Conan this opportunity.

"No, I really didn't hear you, please say it again~"

Conan approached Ai persistently and asked with a smile.

"Did not say!"

Xiao Ai turned her head away and stubbornly said that she didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Say it again~"

......

Finally, unable to resist Conan, Xiao Ai blushed and whispered:

"Thank you."

Conan was about to continue teasing her when he suddenly heard Xiao Ai's thanks. He was also stunned for a moment. Isn't it true that you shouldn't always maintain your aloof attitude and refuse to agree no matter what I ask?

As a result, you thanked him directly, which made him feel embarrassed.

"Um, no, everything is fine?"

Looking at Conan who was a little embarrassed because of her words, Ai couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As for the awkward feeling between him and Conan, it disappeared quietly during their communication.

Soon, the two returned to the office.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm back from outside."

Conan shouted inside, but got no response and looked inside suspiciously.

"What did you say? Sonoko wants me to help her catch a thief? No, no, can't we just leave this matter to the police?"

At the desk, Mao Li waved his hand impatiently. Who was he? A famous detective! Did a mere thief really need the personal intervention of a famous detective like him?!

Of course, the main reason was that this commission was given to him by Yuanzi, and there was no commission fee at all! He was too lazy to do such a thing as working for others for free!

"Dad! It's not a thief, it's Kaito Kidd! Have you forgotten? He's the one we met at the hotel, the one who was suspected of killing Mr. Toju!"

"Then I won't go either. He's already wanted by the police anyway, so even if I go, it won't have anything to do with me."

Maori casually looked at the content on the TV in front of him, wondering in his heart how long it would take until Miss Yoko's show started.

"dad!!!"

There was a thud, and the distracted expression on Maori's face disappeared, replaced by a look of horror.

Xiaolan's fist appeared in front of him, leaving a big hole on the metal table in front of him.

"Are you going, or are you going, or are you going?"

"You clearly didn't give me a choice!"

Maori asked in disbelief after listening to the three options given by Xiaolan.

In response, Xiaolan acted as if she didn't hear anything. She squinted her eyes and looked at her father with a smile.

"I know, I know! I can go anyway! Seriously, he's just a petty thief, why are you taking him so seriously?"

Maori said with an unhappy look on his face.

Conan was actually a little confused about this. After all, in the anime, apart from Sonoko who was eager to see Kid's true appearance, Ran didn't seem to be very interested in Kid.

"Well, of course I want to ask him if he has met Shinichi before! Otherwise, why did he disguise himself as Shinichi at the hotel last time?

After all, although we still have phone contact, Shinichi has been gone for quite a while this time."

Xiaolan rolled her eyes and started talking nonsense seriously.

In reality, she was simply worried about Conan's reputation. The guy had disguised himself as Shinichi the last time he appeared there. If he hadn't changed back to his own form and left in time, the crime of killing Tojuken might have fallen on Shinichi.

Although the probability is low, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Moreover, she also wanted to know why Kid dared to appear so confidently as Shinichi. Did he know some secrets?

"Okay, okay, I get it. I promise you that! But you have to tell me the time and place! Otherwise, how will I know where to catch the thief?"

Mao Li knew at a glance that Xiaolan was not telling the truth, but since Xiaolan had asked for it, and with the previous experience with the desk as an example, he couldn't refuse Xiaolan's request, so he had to agree with a bitter face.

"This is a copy of the notice that the thief sent to Sonoko's house. Dad, you can take a look."

As she spoke, Xiaolan took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table. She also secretly adjusted her position to ensure that Conan beside her could also see the contents of the paper.

Conan took a casual glance and found that it was almost exactly the same as what he remembered, so he gave up the idea of ​​continuing research.

We all know the answer, so there's no point in studying it any further.

"But, are we back to April? What a ridiculous timeline!"

Looking at Conan who was deep in thought, Xiaolan showed a trace of worry on her face.

In fact, there was one more thing she hadn't said. Today, while shopping, she saw someone who looked exactly like Shinichi. She didn't know if that person really just looked like him, or if he had deliberately disguised himself to look like him.

If it was the former, it would be fine. However, if it was the latter, it meant that the news of Shinichi's death had been doubted by those dangerous guys. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to test his reaction.
