Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 167 Xiao Ai's Misunderstanding

"Eh? Xiaolan, are you guys going to eat too? Eh? Conan is here too!"

Just as they were leaving, the door of room 1901 next door was opened, and Maeda Satoshi and Sayama Akiko walked out of the room with smiles on their faces.

When they saw Xiaolan, they both had a smile on their faces, but when they saw Conan, their expressions froze for a moment.

Xiaolan noticed this, but didn't care. She just thought that the two of them were a little embarrassed to see this person who knew the truth after being persuaded by Conan to give up. So she smiled and nodded to the two of them:

"Well, Mr. Maeda, do you want to join us?"

Facing Xiaolan's invitation, looking at Conan who was staring at him beside Xiaolan, Maeda Satoshi's expression was a little embarrassed:

"Well, Mingzi, what do you think?"

Looking at Conan's eyes, he probably guessed something. Therefore, in this situation, he dared not speak carelessly. If Conan spotted him, it would be bad.

"Since Miss Xiaolan invited us, let's go together."

After looking Xiaolan up and down, Akiko Sayama nodded and agreed.

As a smart person (she thinks so), she still has to find a way to get some information about Conan from Xiaolan.

If Conan knew what she was thinking, he would probably be speechless.

After all, he was just not ready to tell them his true identity for the time being. After confirming that they were indeed loyal to him, he would not mind telling them his true identity.

In this way, a few people came into the restaurant while laughing and chatting.

During this process, Akiko Sayama kept testing Xiaolan, trying to get some secrets related to Conan from her. After Xiaolan realized this, she became alert instantly.

In the end, until they entered the restaurant, Akiko didn't get any information about Conan from Xiaolan.

"Conan, that Sayama Akiko seems to want to get information about you from me?"

After studying with Yingli for a while, and knowing that Conan is in danger, Xiaolan is no longer the innocent girl who would tell all the secrets she knows when asked.

In addition, Akiko Sayama's ability to trick people into giving her questions was not very good, so she also noticed Akiko's abnormality.

"Well, after all, I was acting a little less like a child back then! Don't worry, she's just curious about my situation, it'll be fine."

Conan smiled and comforted Xiaolan. At the same time, he looked at Mingzi helplessly:

Is this guy always so straightforward when gathering intelligence? Even Xiaolan can sense her abnormality!

Dinner time passed quickly without any unusual incidents. The only notable thing was that when Kamijou Hideko walked by in her cool dress, the three boys present were all stunned.

Well, whether it was Conan, Maeda Satoshi or Mori, they all stared at Kamijou Hideko.

Conan, who had barely escaped danger in the original work, was the one who suffered the most severe firepower here.

Maeda Satoshi is under the care of Sayama Akiko, and Mori-san is under the care of Ki Eri. As for Conan?

When he stared at Kamijou Hideko for a little longer, two hands silently pinched his soft spots on both sides.

On one side is Xiaolan, and on the other side is Xiaoai. They both learned this trick without any instruction and used it on Conan, who was closest to them.

......

After dinner time was over, Conan gave Maeda Satoshi and Xiaolan a look before entering the room. Seeing that Maeda Satoshi had received his message, Conan returned to the room with Xiaolan in satisfaction.

"Dad, what are you doing..."

Looking at Maori who started to dress up after entering the room and was wearing formal clothes, Xiaolan said with some confusion.

"Well, your dad and I are going to capture that 'Night Baron'! As long as we catch him, we can solve our rent problem, right?"

Mao Li racked his brains and came up with an excuse. But Xiaolan didn't buy it. She continued to ask:

"But didn't Mom already pay for your rent?"

Hearing this, Mao Li instantly became unhappy, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly:

"Humph, I don't need to rely on that woman! Even without her, I can still afford the room fee this time! Okay, Xiaolan, stop asking so many questions, I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, Mao Li hurried out of the room.

"Haha, if I'm not mistaken, the uncle must have gone to look for that woman Kamijou Hideko. But he's really brave! In the anime, that was when Auntie wasn't around, but now Auntie Eri is here too, and he still dares..."

But it's also true, if he's not brave, he wouldn't be Maori.'

Looking at Maori's leaving figure, Conan rolled his eyes and complained in his heart.

Although what Uncle Maori wants to do has nothing to do with him, he has other plans for the evening, so Uncle Maori, I'm sorry.

Thinking of this, Conan tugged at Xiaolan's clothes:

"Sister Xiaolan, I think it's better for you to follow him. Earlier in the restaurant, I seemed to see Miss Kamijou slipping a note to Uncle Mori..."

"what!"

Hearing this, Xiaolan stood up and ran out the door.

However, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly hesitated and looked at the two of them:

"Is it okay for you two to stay alone?"

"Sister Xiaolan, don't worry. I'm just going to take Xiaoai to talk to Dr. Chengshi and the others."

Conan smiled soothingly.

"Is that so? Well then, remember to come back early."

Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and chased after him.

As Xiaolan left, Xiaoai, who had been silent, spoke up:

"So, you sent Xiaolan away. Do you have any other plans?"

"of course."

Conan smiled and nodded:

"I plan to send some 'talent' to the organization."

"???"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ai was stunned.

No, did she hear something wrong? Edogawa, the organization's number one hater, was going to send someone to the organization? No, where would he get someone to send to the organization? Even if he was an undercover agent, who could his small group of people send to the organization?

"You're not going to sell me and my sister out, are you?"

Hearing this, Conan paused for a moment. In a sense, what Ai said seemed to make sense. He really wanted Mingmei to test Tohru's opinion of the two sisters.

However, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Conan rolled his eyes unhappily:

"What are you thinking? You are my important companions! How could I possibly sell you out?"

After hearing this, Xiaoai's ears turned red instantly.
