Stay away from Conan

Chapter 314 What kind of parents are you?

After returning to the Maori Detective Agency, although Conan was panicked about today's false alarm, Xiaolan was able to dispel her doubts about her identity because of the help of Akechi Gaoyuan.

So, Conan lay on the bed and fell asleep very peacefully.

However, Conan didn't notice that after he fell asleep, Xiaolan, who had taken a shower and put on her pajamas, deliberately opened the door of Conan's room before returning to her room.

Through the crack in the door, Xiaolan looked at Conan's sleeping face with a meaningful look in her eyes for a while, then returned to her bedroom with a slightly sad expression——

Something's still wrong...

Lying on the bed, Xiaolan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Although I saw Shinichi and Conan appearing at the same time in Shin's family today, my almost fanciful conjecture should have been shattered, but from the feeling, I still feel that this conjecture is very possible——

After all, the Shinichi I saw today, his tone and accent were indeed right, but his behavior was too strange——

We haven’t seen each other for so long, and after finally coming back, you didn’t even turn around to look at me with a straight face, and just walked away in a hurry. What kind of commission do you really have to be so anxious about? Don’t even have time to say hello?

and……

As she kept thinking about it, Xiaolan felt more and more lost.

Because she remembered that Mr. Akechi was also present when she met Conan for the first time, and it was Mr. Akechi who told her about Conan's life experience...

If even Mr. Mingzhi is uniting to deceive himself, today's strange situation can be understood!

Thinking of this, Xiaolan felt more and more that this possibility existed, and at the same time she felt deeply sad——

If...that's true, then why? Why do you deliberately hide it from me? Even I can’t tell you...

Could it be that Shinichi really encountered some big trouble and had to do this?

…

That night, Xiaolan just lost sleep while having random thoughts again and again...

Early the next morning, there was a mist of fine snow in the sky, and the streets were covered with a layer of silvery snowflakes.

Because of the holiday, Conan got up early. Xiaolan was suspicious of his behavior yesterday. To be on the safe side, Conan tried to do some things that children of this age should do.

So, early in the morning, after breakfast, Conan played video games in the detective agency.

Xiaolan looked at Conan who was playing the game with great interest at the moment, frowned slightly, and then asked casually:

"Conan, you have lived in our house for so long, and your parents haven't contacted you? Don't you miss them?"

However, Conan didn't seem to hear it and was still playing the game.

In response, Xiaolan walked to Conan, leaned down and continued to ask:

"Conan, are you listening to me?"

There was a questioning tone, but Xiaolan still spoke gently.

"Um?"

Turning his head, Conan showed a confused expression.

"Uh-huh. I'm asking about your parents."

Xiaolan said with some complaints:

"It's been a long time since they transferred you to a foreign country and left you alone here, right? Aren't you lonely at all? Don't you miss them?"

"Nope."

Laughing playfully, Conan answered frankly, and then continued to play the game.

"Really, what kind of parents are you? Not only have I never met them, but I haven't even received a letter, no news at all!"

Mouri Kogoro, who was reading the morning paper on the side, couldn't help but complain.

Xiaolan, on the other hand, greatly agreed with Kogoro's words, and at the same time, her eyes when looking at Conan suddenly became profound——

Sure enough, it’s still very suspicious!

How could any parent of a child leave such a young child alone in a stranger's home and never contact him?

Moreover, after all this time, I have never heard Conan mention the names of his parents, and it is so strange that such a young child has no idea that his parents are not around!

But if Conan is Shinichi, then everything would make sense.

Because Conan is basically what Shinichi looked like when he was smaller, there is no way the so-called "Conan's parents" exist!

Thinking of this, Xiaolan squinted her eyes slightly and stared at Conan with a deep look, feeling that she had discovered this extremely important flaw——

After thinking about it for a whole night, I finally discovered something was wrong!

Even if Mr. Akechi is helping you hide your identity, it’s impossible for non-existent parents to be created for you out of thin air!

We'll see, Shinichi, sooner or later I'll figure out what the hell you're doing!

In response, Xiaolan looked like she had seen through some secret, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face——

"Oops...I never thought of this..."

After listening to Kogoro's words, Conan felt panic in his heart——

As a child, I lied to them in order to stay here. But my real parents are indeed abroad now, so it’s not a lie, but...

"By the way, isn't this kid a relative of Dr. A Li? It seems that he was entrusted to Dr. A Li at the beginning, right?"

Kogoro continued:

"In that case, let's ask the doctor how to contact his parents!"

"Ah! No! Can't contact the doctor!"

Hearing this, Conan immediately threw away the game controller and stood up to stop it——

Can't! Absolutely not! I have never considered this in advance. If I contact Dr. Agasa now, it will be exposed that there is no such thing as Conan's parents!

But at the same time, Conan also saw the way Xiaolan looked at him - that mysterious smile, as if telling himself that she had seen through my secret!

Is it possible... that the play with Mr. Mingzhi last night didn't deceive Xiaolan?

Suddenly, Conan was completely panicked.

"What's wrong? Can't you contact your parents?"

After hearing what Conan said, Kogoro looked at Conan with an unhappy expression and said.

——It’s over, now, I may really not be able to hide it anymore!

The current situation caught Conan off guard. The scene he played with Mr. Mingzhi last night not only failed to deceive Xiaolan, but also made Xiaolan doubt Conan's identity as a parent. If he doesn't find a solution quickly...

And just when Conan was at a loss, the doorbell of the detective agency rang.

In this regard, Xiaolan, who had achieved her goal, walked to the door first to receive the guests who came at this time.

"Here we come...please come in!"

Putting away her smile, Xiaolan opened the door of the office and greeted the guests outside.

Standing at the door was a slightly fat middle-aged lady with long black curly hair and a pair of fashionable glasses.

When the lady saw Xiaolan coming to open the door, she bowed directly to Xiaolan.

Seeing this, Xiaolan felt a little strange and couldn't help but ask:

"Excuse me...what's the matter?"

Then, the lady politely replied:

"Hello miss! My name is Fumiyo Edogawa, and I am the mother of Edogawa Conan."

Hearing this and looking at this strange lady, Xiaolan's expression changed...
