Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 185 It’s bad, Tachibana Shizuka has turned yellow-haired!

As the saying goes, those who lie will always be lied to. One day in the future, when Conan knows the truth, he doesn't know whether he will regret hiding it from everyone in the beginning.

"So you want to stay at my house for the night?" Tachibana Shizuka asked Hattori Heiji.

"Never mind, I better hurry back to Osaka. Honestly, I can't wait to share what I've learned from this trip.

By the way, is it okay for me to tell He Ye about this?"

"It's okay, just say what you want to say." Tachibana Shizuka's main characteristic is his generosity towards others.

He didn't have to pay for it anyway, so it didn't matter who knew Tachibana Shizuka. Besides, Tachibana Shizuka only had a few friends, so there was no need to go through all the information separation.

Tachibana Shizuka also planned to tell this matter to Xiaolan and also reveal it to Sonoko.

Conan is, to put it bluntly, a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment. Tachibana Shizuka hopes that her friends can at least be prepared and protect themselves when the bomb goes off.

It doesn't make sense that it can only be like the original, where a bunch of unrelated people know Conan's identity, but Conan's closest people know nothing about it.

After dropping Hattori Heiji off at the station, Tachibana Shizuka turned around and headed straight for the office. After parking the car downstairs, Tachibana Shizuka sat in the driver's seat for a while.

It was easy for him to make decisions, he would just say whatever he thought, but when it came to putting it into practice, he couldn't help but feel hesitant.

How will Ran react after knowing Conan's identity? What will she think, say, and do?
What will be the impact of telling the truth to Xiaolan? How much of a filter does Kudo Shinichi still have in Xiaolan's heart?

And most importantly, how will Xiaolan treat Conan in the future?

Everything was unknown to Tachibana Shizuka. He hadn't seen this part of the original novel until he traveled through time. Even if he hadn't traveled through time, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

I can only say that the unknown is indeed the most exciting.

Let’s do it! Tachibana Shizuka no longer hesitated, took out his cell phone and dialed Xiaolan’s number.

"Lan? Have you rested? I'm downstairs in the office. Come down and chat."

"Eh?" Xiaolan said, and then there was a series of footsteps. The window of the office was suddenly opened, and Tachibana Shizuka lowered the window and waved to Xiaolan.

"Wait a minute, I'll be right down!"

After saying that, Xiaolan began to change her clothes hurriedly and ran downstairs.

Kogoro Mouri, who was drinking and eating supper in the living room, was a little confused when he saw his daughter suddenly dressed neatly.

Xiaolan is going out in the middle of the night?!
"Lan, where are you going?!"

"Go downstairs, Shizue is waiting for me downstairs!" Xiaolan said hello to Kogoro Mouri and hurried out.

"What? It's Shizue." Maori Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief. If it was Shizue—wait?!

Kogoro Mouri looked up at the time. It was 11:30 in the evening and Shizue Tachibana was waiting for his daughter downstairs.

After making a phone call, my cute little cabbage ran downstairs excitedly.

Isn't this right? This plot isn't right?!

The sense of déjà vu about Tachibana Shizuka became stronger and stronger, as if he and Kisaki Eri were in the same situation before.

How did your father-in-law treat you at that time?

Maori Kogoro fell into deep thought, then subconsciously looked towards the kitchen chopping board.
Xiaolan ran downstairs and came to Shizuka Tachibana's car. Instead of getting in directly, she walked around the Land Rover.

Finally, he happily climbed into the passenger seat.

"Jingsi, did you buy a car?" "Yeah, I thought it would be more convenient for us to go out in the future, so I bought a spacious car."

"That's great. I'm suddenly looking forward to it." Xiaolan's eyes showed a hint of longing when she heard this, as if she was looking forward to going out in the future.

"By the way, Jingsi, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xiaolan's emotions were a little complicated at the moment, and even she herself couldn't figure out what she was feeling at the moment.

Is it anticipation, nervousness, disbelief, or confusion?
Maybe neither, maybe both, anyway, Xiaolan was waiting for Tachibana Shizuka to speak.

"Well, what I want to talk about is not about me, it's about Kudo." Feeling Xiaolan's uneasiness at the moment, Tachibana Shizuka suddenly felt a little relieved.

In the middle of the night, a girl can run down from her home to meet you just because you say she wants to hang out and chat.

If you still say that you can't feel a girl's feelings at this time, you are deceiving yourself.

In fact, if Tachibana Shizuka had struck while the iron was hot, even if he had not confessed his feelings and just chatted with them, perhaps the progress between the two of them would have been greatly improved.

But Shizuka Tachibana still hopes to explain Kudo Shinichi's situation to Xiaolan at this time.

I know you care about your childhood friend very much, and I understand your concern. So when I get any news about him, I will tell you as soon as possible.

The development and relationship between us will not be affected by your childhood friend.

If we get together in the future, I have not hidden anything from you about your childhood friend, and I have a clear conscience about this.

If unfortunately we cannot be together in the future, it will not be because of your childhood friend.

No matter what, the relationship between us is a relationship between two people and there is no room for a third person.

Nor will any variables be caused by a third person.

This is probably what Tachibana Shizuka was thinking.
.
"Shin, Shinichi?" Shizuka Tachibana is indeed good at creating surprises. For example, now Xiaolan never thought that Shizuka Tachibana would start the topic with something about Kudo Shinichi.

"Yes, this time, Hattori and I went on that Sherlock Holmes-themed tour group and met Kudo Shinichi."

Xiaolan blinked her big eyes and could no longer complain about the two men, Shizuka Tachibana and Heiji Hattori, who left their homes and careers to travel to Xiaolan.

And Ran was also very clear that their target was Kudo Shinichi. However, she never thought that Tachibana Shizuka and Hattori Heiji could really meet Kudo Shinichi in a tour group.

How busy is Kudo Shinichi when we talk on the phone on weekdays? There are always endless cases and events, and each one is more important than the last.

It’s as if the police in the whole world will not be able to solve the case without Kudo Shinichi.

How could Shinichi, being so busy, possibly have the time to join a tour like that? Even one themed around Sherlock Holmes?

Then she heard Tachibana Seiji say that he met Kudo Shinichi in person in this tour group.

Huh? Does that make sense?

It wasn't as exciting as I'd imagined. This abrupt ending felt like a girlfriend in a long-distance relationship running to her boyfriend's city to give him a surprise.

Then I happened to meet my boyfriend coming out of the KTV hugging a young lady.

The process and steps were all correct, but the result was a bit too sudden and too unexpected.

At this time, people’s first reaction is often not anger, but confusion and speechlessness.
