Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 105 Xiao Lan, who loves shipping couples

"What do you mean all brown-haired people should die?!" Sonoko glared angrily at the police car that had driven away with Masahiko Michiwaki.

"Alright, Sonoko." Ran comforted the indignant Sonoko, then looked at Makoto Kyogoku beside her and asked Sonoko, "Is this the guy you mentioned who we met after coming here?"

Upon hearing Ran's words, Sonoko's previously angry expression suddenly froze, her eyes darting left and right, revealing a troubled look.

When Ran didn't want to talk to Sonoko, the understanding Conan took it upon himself to explain things to her.

So, under Sonoko's murderous glare, Conan said, "This is the hotel owner. The person who was just taken away is the Michiwaki Masahiko that Sonoko-neechan was talking about."

"Huh?" Ran's mind didn't quite process Conan's words for a moment, and her eyes turned into beady eyes.

"You little brat!" The moment Conan spoke, Sonoko pounced on him like a demon.

……

After carefully questioning Ai and Teruyuki about what had happened, Ran turned her gaze to Makoto Kyogoku. After observing him for a while, Ran asked with a smile, "Mr. Kyogoku, do you like Sonoko?"

Makoto Kyogoku was taken aback. He knew that Ran was Sonoko's best friend, so after a moment's thought, he took a deep breath, even more nervous than when he was competing in the National Karate Finals, and nodded heavily.

"Great! Just as I expected!" Ran clapped her hands when she saw Makoto Kyogoku's actions, her eyes crinkling with joy as she smiled with satisfaction.

My sister really loves shipping couples!
Hui Jie looked at the happy Xiao Lan and thought to himself.

After running around to where Keisuke was, Conan sighed helplessly, "Ran really does take these kinds of things to heart!"

Ai looked at Ran, glanced at Conan who was still leisurely offering his opinion, and said, "Maybe it's because she got caught in the rain, so she wanted to hold an umbrella for others!"

"Sister Xiaolan herself has regrets in love, so she hopes that others can have a better life!"

Hearing Ai's sharp words, Conan was instantly stunned, and Conan was speechless, not knowing what to say.

"Seriously, how can there be such an irresponsible person! Luckily, my Ai found a serious, responsible, handsome boyfriend!" Huijie immediately echoed Ai's words, adding insult to injury while also praising himself.

Seeing Huijie praising himself beside her, Ai couldn't help but smile and nodded perfunctorily, saying, "Yes, yes, I'm so glad I met you."

Watching the two's heartwarming interaction, Conan only felt that they were noisy and that he had been hurt by these two again.

While Conan remained silent, Sonoko returned to Ran's side and happened to witness Makoto Kyogoku nodding.

"Really?" Sonoko said with some surprise, but thinking of Michiwaki Masahiko just now, she asked with some confusion, "But we've only met a few days ago, why do you like me?"

Seeing Sonoko's puzzled expression, Makoto Kyogoku looked on with a look of reminiscence. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "You may not know me, but I saw you at a karate tournament. I was deeply attracted by how you cheered for your friends."

Hearing Makoto Kyogoku's heartfelt and unskilled confession, Sonoko's face suddenly turned bright red. Although she had always talked about finding a handsome guy, this was the first time she had ever received such a confession.

Seeing Makoto Kyogoku's extremely serious expression, Sonoko blushed slightly and asked shyly, "Is this a confession to me?"

“No.” Makoto Kyogoku shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko seemed to be petrified, instantly frozen in place. But then, Makoto Kyogoku added, "What I just expressed was only my opinion of you; what follows is the real confession."

"Wow!" Ran covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise. Before she knew it, she had stepped back next to Teruyuki, leaving the stage for Makoto Kyogoku and Sonoko.

Makoto Kyogoku stared into Sonoko's eyes and took a deep breath.

"Sonoko, I..."

Why are you still here?

Just as Makoto Kyogoku and Sonoko were gazing deeply into each other's eyes, Kogoro Mouri's voice broke the ambiguous atmosphere between them.

Everyone was speechless at Kogoro Mouri's untimely entrance.

"Were you waiting for me? Sorry, but Inspector Yokomizo is a big fan of mine, and he was a little too enthusiastic, hahaha..." Kogoro Mouri scratched his head, his tone full of pride, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'll tidy up the rooms for everyone right away!" Makoto Kyogoku suddenly woke up, then walked into the hotel with a slightly flushed face.

Sonoko watched Makoto Kyogoku's departing figure, gritted her teeth, and said to Kogoro Mouri, "That old man really knows how to ruin the mood!"

"Dad!" Ran glanced helplessly at Kogoro Mouri, then turned away angrily and followed Makoto Kyogoku with Sonoko.

"What's wrong?" Kogoro Mouri looked completely bewildered.

Seeing this, Eri Kisaki sneered and walked into the hotel, saying to Kogoro Mouri with a mocking tone, "It seems that this bumbling detective can only rely on others to solve cases, and can only secretly pick up the scraps himself!"

Upon hearing this, Conan froze in shock and hurriedly followed. Although he knew that Eri Kisaki wasn't referring to him, she still managed to expose the truth.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mori stamped his foot in dissatisfaction and shouted, "What does this woman mean by this!"

Looking at the empty surroundings, Kogoro Mori felt his heart sink. He was a hero, so how come there was no one around him?
As for Teruyuki, he had already followed Makoto Kyogoku into the hotel and suggested that he give his room to someone else, while he himself would reluctantly squeeze in with Ai.

Ai isn't one to gossip; she didn't go in earlier simply because Keisuke was still outside.

……

the next day.

Early in the morning, Keisuke was woken up by Ai beside him.

Seeing the somewhat confused look in Hui Jie's eyes, Ai pointed helplessly to the door and said with a hint of mockery in her eyes, "Ran-neechan is right at the door. You'd better have an excuse for why you're here."

"Explain? What do I have to explain? Why should I explain?" Hearing Ai's words, Keisuke looked at Ai in confusion.

Does he have to report to his girlfriend when he's with her?
"Huijie?" Xiaolan, who was outside the door, looked puzzled when she heard Huijie's voice.
