I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 43: Shinichi and Gin's Reunion (Part 2)
While queuing, Xiaolan saw that Shinichi looked unhappy, and the kind-hearted girl felt a little resentful.

So, she took out her phone and quietly sent a message to Shiraishi Hui: "Shiraishi-kun, Shinichi seems very unhappy. Did we go too far? Do you want us to apologize to him?"

After Shiraishi took out her phone and read the message, she immediately replied, "Don't worry, Shinichi is not unhappy, he is just bored. If you don't believe me, you can ask him about the murder that just happened in the art museum. I guarantee that he will be refreshed immediately!"

After Xiaolan saw this message, she looked at Shiraishi Hui doubtfully, with a puzzled look in her eyes, as if to say, "Really?"

Shiraishi nodded affirmatively.

Xiaolan decided to give it a try, so she showed a curious look and asked, "Shinichi, how did you solve the case just now?"

"The case just now?" This question instantly excited Shinichi, and he said without hesitation: "In fact, this case is not difficult at all, but I was misled by common sense!"

"Who would have thought that an elderly man like Director Ochiai could have such great strength?"

"I made a mistake of preconception on this point! I only remembered the universality of the group, but forgot the particularity of the individual."

“Sherlock Holmes once said that after eliminating all possibilities, whatever remains, no matter how unreasonable, must be the truth!”

"At first I thought he wasn't the murderer, but as I continued to investigate, I found clues one after another, which forced me to rethink the clues."

"After I eliminated all the wrong answers, all the clues pointed to Director Ochiai!"

"........."

Looking at Shinichi who was talking so freely, Xiaolan's worry disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a face full of speechlessness.

She thought Shinichi was sad because she and Shiraishi E left first.

Now it seems...he is so depressed because he can't find anyone to show off to!!

Thinking of this, Xiaolan sighed silently.

She found that even though she had known Shinichi for so many years, she still didn't understand him as well as Shiraishi E!
"Hmm?" Shinichi was talking excitedly, and suddenly he noticed that Xiaolan was sighing. He asked considerately, "What's wrong? Xiaolan. Is there something you don't understand? I can tell you again."

"No...no need. I think I understand." Xiaolan smiled bitterly and waved her hands. She was really not interested in the murder case.

Shinichi wanted to say something, but Shiraishi said, "Shinichi, you haven't forgotten our bet, right?"

"Uh... I didn't forget." Shinichi came to his senses and realized that something was wrong!
"Then you'll treat us to dinner tonight." Shiraishi Hui said, and seeing Xiaolan's confused expression, she simply explained to her the bet between herself and Shinichi.

"Huh? You actually made such a bet?" Xiaolan was surprised and confused: "But... Shiraishi-kun, how can you be sure that the director will commit murder?"

In response, Shinichi also cast a puzzled look.

"Everyone has unique talents." Shiraishi Hui said calmly, "For example, Shinichi is very talented in reasoning, Xiaolan, you are very talented in sports, and I happen to be more sensitive in sensing murderous intent!"

"Really?" Shinichi always felt that the other party was talking nonsense, but he had no way to refute it.

He was about to say something, but Shiraishi interrupted, "It's our turn now, let's go in... Shinichi, I hope you brought enough money today, otherwise you'll have to stay and wash the dishes."

Shinichi could tell that the other party didn't want to talk more, so he changed the subject and said domineeringly: "You two can eat without worry!! I still have the money to treat you to a meal."

-----------------------

"Damn Shiraishi! Is he a pig? How can he eat so much?"

“And they only eat the expensive ones!!”

"And Xiaolan, she doesn't usually eat a lot... How come she suddenly eats so much?"

After returning home in the evening, Shinichi looked at his empty wallet and felt like crying but had no tears.

This month's living expenses were spent in an instant!

He had no choice but to shamelessly call his mother and said, "Mom, I don't have any living expenses... Can you give me some more?"

"Sure!" Yukiko on the other end of the phone agreed happily.

"Really? Thank you so much!!" Shinichi was very happy. He said, "It doesn't have to be too much. Just give me 200,000 yen!"

"Two hundred thousand yen? That's too little. It's just two meals for a girl. I'll give you three hundred thousand!" Yukiko on the other end of the phone was very generous. "Three hundred thousand yen? Thank you, my dear mother! I knew you were the best to me." Shinichi was so happy that he couldn't help but flatter her.

But at this time, Yukiko on the other end of the phone changed the subject and said, "But I'm not giving you this money for free. A friend of mine is having a wedding in Kyoto tomorrow, so please go there on my behalf."

"Ah? I don't know that person, what should I do over there?" Shinichi felt quite confused.

"Please help me investigate my friend's husband. I always feel that he is not an honest man!" Yukiko on the other end of the phone expressed her suspicions.

"To investigate an extramarital affair, such a simple matter, you can just ask any detective to do it. Why do you want me to go there specially?" Shinichi said reluctantly.

"How can they be as good as you? I don't believe in their abilities!" Yukiko on the other end of the phone said lightly, but Shinichi was already under control.

Shinichi also felt that the detectives outside were not as good as himself, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll go to Kyoto."

next morning.

Shinichi asked for leave from school and went to take the Shinkansen.

While waiting, he had an inexplicable intuition that made him look to the left.

Upon seeing this, Shinichi was stunned for a moment!

He saw two familiar men in black not far from him!

His heart was shocked and his eyes were fixed on the man in black with long golden hair.

Yes, this guy.

This is the guy who knocked me out!
Shinichi will never forget the surprise attack on him at Dorobiga Paradise.

This is the black spot in his career!

After discovering the blond man in black, Shinichi's heart became active again, and the idea of arresting the man became stronger and stronger!

However, at this moment, the blond man in black suddenly turned around!

Shinichi was unable to avoid it and ended up looking directly into the other person's eyes.

This made his heart skip a beat and he realized that something was wrong and he had been discovered!

Shinichi was momentarily flustered, unsure how to handle the situation.

But his eyes suddenly lit up and he discovered an unexpected person next to the blond man in black!
Shinichi quickly raised his hand and greeted, "Uncle Maori!!"

"Hmm?" Kogoro Mouri looked over in the direction of the voice and found that it was Shinichi who was greeting him.

This surprised him: This kid usually doesn’t greet me so proactively?

Looking at Shinichi who was walking over, Maori Kogoro asked curiously: "Don't you have to go to school today? I remember today is Monday."

"My mother asked me to go to Kyoto to attend Miss Kitagawa's wedding on her behalf." Shinichi forced himself to ignore the blond man in black, and said to Maori Kogoro helplessly: "I have no choice but to ask for leave to go there."

"Huh? I also went to Kyoto to attend Kitagawa's wedding... Oh, I almost forgot that Yukiko and I are in the same grade!" Kogoro Mouri slapped his head and then remembered this.

"Uncle Maori...how can you forget something like this?" Shinichi said speechlessly.

"Your mother is not in the same class as me, so of course I'm not familiar with her." Kogoro Mouri replied righteously.

While we were chatting, the Shinkansen arrived.

After Shinichi watched the two men in black enter the Shinkansen, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

In this way, the suspicion of those two guys can be dispelled, right?

But they have already seen my face clearly...How can I get close to them?

With this thought in mind, Shinichi followed Kogoro Mori and entered the Shinkansen.
