Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 180: Kisaki Eri: A trip just for the two of us...

"Isn't it easy to stop Mr. Aso?" Kisaki Eri said disapprovingly. "He would agree to commit crimes for his friends just to earn money for his child's medical treatment."

"Even if Shuichi goes to Moon Shadow Island, he can't solve the child's problem, and I'm afraid he won't be able to convince his father either."

"I've thought about this as well," Tomizawa Chikage touched the injured part, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes, "but I have to wait until my injury is healed before I can say anything."

"You don't want to steal, do you?" Lin Xiu asked with a frown.

"You all already know I'm the Phantom Thief Lady," Tozawa Chikage shrugged nonchalantly, a hint of unruly smile on her lips. "Some people get rich by cheating, deceiving, and robbing people. I feel perfectly comfortable stealing their money to help those in need!"

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi was still frowning, Tomizawa Chikage's face darkened slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. She was obviously a little disappointed with Lin Xiuyi's reaction.

"My targets will all be thoroughly investigated beforehand, and I will never wrongly accuse anyone."

Tomizawa Chikage had a stubborn look on his face, crossed his arms, tilted his head slightly to one side, and said angrily,
"If you don't believe me, I won't bother you with this matter. I'll go by myself!"

"I'm not worried about those rich people," Lin Xiuyi shook his head. "If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. I just don't want to see you get captured!"

"Really?" Tomizawa Chikage suddenly smiled happily and patted his chest confidently, "Don't worry, I'm very skilled, nothing will happen!"

After saying this, she stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"It's almost noon, why don't you stay and have lunch before leaving?" Lin Xiuyi invited with a smile.

Beside her, Kisaki Eri, who had been stern since a while ago, couldn't help herself any longer: "Shuiichi!"

Eri Kisaki, who aspires to become a national lawyer, naturally does not have much affection for the "chivalrous thief" like Kaito Lady who walks in the gray area.

She had previously advised her childhood sweetheart to stay away from each other.

But Lin Xiuyi didn't go to look for her, but the Phantom Thief Lady came to him on her own!

Tomizawa Chikage glanced at Kisaki Eri with a half-smile, her eyes seemed to have seen through the girl's thoughts.
"No, I sneaked out of the hospital anyway. If I delay any longer, I'll definitely be discovered."

"I'm leaving, Shuichi-chan!"

When they reached the door of the izakaya, Chikage Tozawa turned around and blew a kiss to Hideichi Hayashi.

Her movements were light and charming, and there was a hint of provocation in her eyes, as if she was demonstrating to Kisaki Eri.

This made the latter's already bad expression even uglier.

After Tomizawa Chikage left, Kisaki Eri immediately asked, "Are you really determined to go to Tsukikage Island?"

"Yes," Lin Xiuyi nodded affirmatively. "If we ignore this matter, it will definitely turn into a tragedy in the future. For example, Mr. Aso agreed to help his companions with drug trafficking, but when his son's illness was almost healed, he regretted it and refused to participate anymore."

"Then, in order to prevent Mr. Aso from leaking the secret, his friends killed all of Aso's family members on Tsukikage Island and set fire to their house, leaving only Aso Minoru who was being treated in the hospital."

"After Masami grew up, in order to find out the truth about his family's death, he disguised himself as a woman and returned to Yueying Island. He killed those enemies to avenge his father, and finally, because of the guilt of killing people, he set himself on fire to apologize." At the end, Lin Xiuyi sighed softly, his eyes full of regret.

"..."

Kisaki Eri looked at her childhood sweetheart speechlessly.

"I'm asking because I'm worried about your safety. Are you going to make up a story like this to fool me? The plot is so complicated, why not just turn it into a novel?"

"Whether it's writing novels or drawing comics, just tell me if it's possible?" Lin Xiu asked with a smile.

"Whether or not, since you've already decided to go, what else can I do?" Kisaki Eri said unhappily, "But there's one condition: I have to go with you."

"Alright, then we'll go together." Lin Xiu nodded in agreement. "It's not that dangerous actually. Mr. Aso and his friends don't know their conversation has been overheard. Let's just treat it as a trip to Yueying Island and investigate this matter while we're there."

"The two of us?" Kisaki Eri didn't care what Lin Xiuyi said next, her mind was all on these four words.

"That's right," Lin Xiuyi explained, "Yukiko will report to the crew tomorrow. Tsukikage Island is neither far nor close, so we'll have to stay there for at least a day. Kogoro has to take care of Aunt Mori, so he naturally can't go with us."

"As for Lingzi, she has to go home to be with her parents next week, which is not convenient. Now it's just the two of us."

"The two of us..." No one knew what Kisaki Eri was thinking about. The blush on her face became more and more obvious, and she stood there in a daze.

"What happened to her?" Noticing Chikage Tozawa leaving, Fujimine Yukiko walked out of the storage room with a puzzled look on her face. "Did she take the wrong medicine?"

"You're the one who took the medicine?" Kisaki Eri glared at Fujimine Yukiko unhappily, then hummed a little tune and walked back to the cashier with a brisk pace.

"This is inexplicable," Fujimine Yukiko muttered, then glared at Hayashi Shuichi, her face full of dissatisfaction and grievance. "Just now, in front of outsiders, Shuichi, you actually made such a joke on me! You're going too far!"

"Miss," Lin Xiuyi spread his hands helplessly, "I just said it casually at the time. Who told you to butt in on me?"

Yukiko Fujimine thought about it and felt that it was indeed her own problem.

Her face flushed slightly, a hint of embarrassment flashed across her eyes, and her fingers unconsciously played with the hair beside her ears: "Anyway, you are not allowed to tell those kinds of dirty jokes in front of other people in the future! It's too, too hooligan..."

"Not in front of others, so I can only tell you?"

Lin Xiuyi was just joking, but he didn't expect that although Fujimine Yukiko's face turned red like a ripe apple, she still nodded slightly and said in a voice as light as a mosquito,
"Only when it's just the two of us..."

Although Eri Kisaki couldn't hear the last words of Yukiko Fujimine at the cashier counter, she could guess about 80% of what she said just by looking at her blushing face, and her heart suddenly felt a little sour.

"You only know how to coax girls!" she muttered softly.

However, thinking of the upcoming trip to Yueying Island with Lin Xiuyi, Kisaki Eri couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of longing, as if she had already seen every little detail of her time with Lin Xiuyi on Yueying Island.

This was her and Hayashi Hideichi's first trip together. Although they had been to other places together before, there was always Maori Kogoro or other "light bulbs" inserted in the middle...
