Stay away from Conan

Chapter 389 Xiao Ai’s Rejection

"If you contact me now, is this mission over?"

The other end of the phone connected to Yukino was silent for a long time after hearing Yukino's voice, and then asked in a slightly unexpected tone. It was a clear and pleasant female voice.

"That's right."

A mysterious smile appeared on Yukino's face, and she replied calmly:

"In just a few days, I can get away. Then, I can come over and take over your mission!"

"Yeah...then I'll wait for you."

On the other end of the phone, a clear and sweet female voice said in a slightly mysterious tone, and then hung up the phone.

In response, Yukino put down her phone and looked at the room that had been decorated, with a deep smile appearing on her lips...

At the same time, outside Mingzhi's house, Xiaolan and Yuanzi arrived together and rang the doorbell. After waiting for a while, Gao Yuan came out and opened the door for them——

"Miss Xiaolan, Miss Yuanzi, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Gao Yuan, wearing a casual blue work shirt with a collar, walked out of the door, invited the two people standing outside the door into the living room, and asked slightly confused.

"this……"

Facing Gao Yuan's inquiry and seeing that Yuanzi did not respond immediately, Xiaolan forced a smile and said:

"It was Yuanzi who came to see Mr. Akechi..."

With that said, Xiaolan, who was sitting on the sofa, poked Yuanzi beside her with her elbow, indicating that it was time for Yuanzi to explain her purpose.

Looking at Takato's face at this moment, Sonoko couldn't help but feel a sense of disparity because she had just seen Kubo Kensuke's face, but when she thought that Kubo Boisuke was already dating Miss Izumo Yukino, and she knew Mr. Akechi better, in this way If you think about it, it doesn't seem that bad.

So, after being reminded by Xiaolan, Yuanzi couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Akechi, that's it. Didn't I say before that I would invite you to a concert this weekend? I wonder if you are free."

As he spoke, Yuanzi showed a bright smile.

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but said:

"Well... Generally speaking, if you don't receive any commissions, you should be free. However, for this kind of thing, just call me. Why do you go out so late?"

Gao Yuan looked at the sky outside the window at this moment, feeling a little puzzled.

"Is such that……"

So, Xiaolan explained to Gao Yuan what happened today when Yuanzi went to the doll classroom with her to study -

"So, after class, Yuanzi thought that he could just come to Mr. Akechi's house and invite him in person. This would appear more sincere."

Xiaolan explained in nice words as much as possible, and Yuanzi nodded in agreement.

In response, Gao Yuan nodded calmly, expressing his understanding, and then asked curiously:

"But why did Ms. Sonoko suddenly become interested in doll making?"

"Actually, Yuanzi went with me!"

Xiaolan explained:

"I became very interested in dolls after seeing the dolls made by Mr. Kubo. When I heard that the teacher was opening a puppet class in the city, I wanted to learn about them."

"Yes, I was really surprised after seeing the dolls made by Mr. Kubo, so I wanted to see them with my own eyes, so I accompanied Xiaolan there."

Sonoko replied, "Mr. Akechi, have you never seen the doll made by Mr. Kubo? That is simply the most lifelike doll I have ever seen!"

Listening to Xiaolan and Sonoko's narration, Gao Yuan was just a listener and did not express too many opinions. After all, he didn't know much about the dolls or the Kubo teacher they mentioned, and he had no interest in them.

Just when the surname "Kubo" is mentioned, Gao Yuan's mind will always recall that disgusting guy.

So, after Xiaolan and Yuanzi exchanged a few brief greetings at Gao Yuan's house, looking at the late morning sky outside the window, the two of them stood up and said goodbye——

"Mr. Akechi, let's see you for the concert on Sunday night! Then, let's gather at Shiodome Gymnasium! I've prepared the tickets!"

After finishing speaking, Yuanzi walked out of Mingzhi's house and added another sentence to Gao Yuan, waving his hand with a smile.

In response, Gao Yuan waved to them politely and watched them leave, then walked into the house and closed the door——

Why? Wait a moment? Sunday night, concert at Shiodome Arena...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but think back to the concert tickets Kashiwagi Shion gave him today, which happened to be held at Shiodome Gymnasium on Sunday night -

"It's actually the same scene?"

In this regard, Gao Yuan felt some unexpected coincidence.

With this in mind, when Gao Yuan walked into the living room, he saw Xiao Ai walking down the stairs and came to the refrigerator. After taking out a bottle of ice water, he was about to go back to the bedroom——

"Haiyuan, do you want to go to the concert this weekend?"

Thinking that Yuanzi should have prepared his own ticket, then the ticket he got from Kashiwagi Shiyin could be used by others, so Gao Yuan thought of Xiao Ai.

"Concert on the weekend?"

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, Xiao Ai unscrewed the cap of the ice water bottle, took a sip, squinted her eyes slightly, and looked very cold -

"Is it the concert that the lady from the Suzuki Foundation invited you to?"

Xiao Ai asked in an indifferent tone.

"kindness."

Gao Yuan nodded.

So, without saying anything else, Xiao Ai turned around and prepared to walk upstairs. With her back to Gao Yuan, she still replied in a cold tone:

"No need, just go by yourself."

After saying that, he walked upstairs without looking back——

Thinking that it was Miss Suzuki who invited Gao Yuan, Xiao Ai couldn't help but recall what Yuanzi said that day at the mountain villa, and naturally she roughly understood the other party's intention——

Forget it, this kind of thing is his own business, so what reason does he have to get involved?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai still felt a little disappointed, as if she still couldn't completely forgive herself for what she did last night.

After hearing Xiao Ai's answer, Gao Yuan simply said "Oh" and couldn't help but start thinking about who should give the extra ticket if Xiao Ai didn't go?

…

After leaving Akechi's house, Xiaolan and Sonoko walked towards the address left by Izumo Yukino, and soon arrived at Mihua Apartment——

"Huh? Isn't this near Xiaolan's house?"

Seeing the location of the apartment, Sonoko said with some surprise.

"kindness."

Xiaolan nodded.

"Very good."

Yuanzi couldn't help but sigh:

"If it's close to my home, and I learn that Miss Izumo is Mr. Kubo's lover, I don't know why I will meet them on the road, and I don't know what I will do..."

"Garden!"

After hearing what Yuanzi said, Xiaolan said anxiously.

"I lied to you!"

Seeing Xiaolan's expression, Yuanzi showed a smile of successful mischief:

"I'm Sonoko Suzuki, I won't be defeated by that kind of setback! And don't I still have Mr. Akechi..."

"Scared me……"

Listening to Yuanzi’s words, Xiaolan felt relieved——

Although Sonoko does fall in love with someone very quickly, she also recovers from the shadow of broken love very quickly.

Thinking about it this way, what Sonoko did seems to become understandable - but if Sonoko's target becomes Mr. Akechi, it still feels a little weird...

"Ah! Xiaolan!"

At this time, Yuanzi suddenly seemed to think of something and said hurriedly:

"Why didn't you tell Mr. Akechi about Miss Izumo just now? Maybe if Mr. Akechi takes action, Miss Izumo's troubles can be solved quickly!"

After hearing this, Xiaolan realized this belatedly, but when she thought that Izumo Yukino had directly approached her to discuss it, it probably wasn't a serious matter, otherwise she would have gone to the police or gone to find it herself. Detective, so Xiaolan couldn't help but said:

"Sonoko, let's go and hear what difficulties Miss Izumo encountered first!"
