The world of science is unscientific

Just minutes before, Ran Mouri was still angry about Shinichi Kudo's rejection of her invitation.

Now that she knows the other party still has something they haven't told her, her anger level has increased by another 50 percentage points.

But she definitely won't take her temper out on Conan.

After all, Conan is small, cute, and obedient... well... he's not exactly obedient.

In short, this was Shinichi Kudo's doing, what does it have to do with Conan?

Even so, Ran Mouri's tone before hanging up the phone was still somewhat chilling, making Conan feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

call ended.

Looking at her best friend's cold and indifferent expression, Sonoko Suzuki tentatively asked, "Ran, I remember you said yesterday that you'd help clean the room again when you had time..."

"not going."

Ran Mori crushed the drink can in her hand. "He's just an idiot who doesn't want to talk to me about anything and doesn't respect me at all."

"I don't care if he dies!!!"

Sonoko Suzuki: "......"

Oh no, Xiaolan is really, really angry this time.

very scary......

What could possibly make the usually gentle Ran so angry?

Shinichi Kudo, you absolutely deserve to die!

Sonoko Suzuki immediately joined forces with the enemy, equally fuming, and said, "That's right, that's right!"

"That reasoning fanatic is a complete bastard!"

She looked at Ran with a determined gaze, "Ran, there are several handsome guys with great physiques over there. Let's go chat them up, send them some flirtatious messages, and give that damn deduction maniac a good scolding!"

be honest.

Ran Mouri was somewhat tempted at that moment.

It's not like she has no suitors.

She's clearly very charming, isn't she?

As a result, her boyfriend completely ignored her. Not only did they rarely see each other, but when he did call, his tone was extremely rude.

But......

Ran Mouri quickly calmed down.

If she really did those things as Sonoko suggested, then she wouldn't be herself.

Instead of trying to provoke Shinichi in this way, it's better to treat life with a normal attitude.

Ran Mouri knew very well that Shinichi Kudo didn't not want to come back to see her, but rather that he must have something he couldn't get out of.

After thinking it through, she shook her head.

"Forget about the garden."

"It's getting late, let's go back."

Sonoko Suzuki: "......"

it is good.

well.

Xiaolan compromised again.

Sigh, how could my best friend be so easily manipulated by that guy?

Perhaps this is what childhood sweetheart love is all about.

Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but think of Makoto Kyogoku, whom she had only met briefly before they were separated again.

Ugh......

Compassion for each other.

They were completely in the same boat.

He got up and left.

After leaving the tennis court, Ran Mouri suddenly stopped, looking a little shy.

"What's wrong?" Sonoko Suzuki asked, puzzled.

Ran Mouri, like a child who had done something wrong, said, "Um... Sonoko... how about we go check out the new house now?"

"Um...yes...we're going to pick up Conan."

Sonoko Suzuki rolled her eyes at her, "You just want to see who's living in Shinichi's house, right?"

Chapter 1009 Subaru Okiya Enters the Scene

What does it mean to be disappointed in someone for not living up to their potential?

Sonoko Suzuki's current feeling is one of disappointment and frustration.

It only took a few minutes from start to finish, and they already compromised again?

But what could she do?

I can only go with my best friend.

Seeing her look, Ran Mouri quickly added, "The children should be with Professor Agasa right now."

"We agreed that Miss Qiuting would teach them to sing, so I'll go over now and give them a heads-up."

Of course, her reasoning was not very convincing; she herself didn't seem to have much confidence in saying it.

But Sonoko Suzuki just laughed it off. "Alright, let's go now. These kids are really lucky to have the opportunity to be coached in singing by a singer like Reiko Akiba."

"I think it must be your innate good luck that's helping you, Xiaolan."

Ran Mouri blushed, "No way..."

The two women chatted as they waited for their ride.

Rice flower town.

Conan was still pondering the tone of Ran Mouri's voice before she hung up the phone.

He always felt a sense of crisis lingering in his heart.

But he couldn't figure out why he felt this way.

If you can't figure it out, keep thinking.

Conan lay half-reclined on the sofa, firmly adhering to his usual approach to dealing with doubts.

Subaru Okiya knew that Conan had some doubts, but he had no intention of asking.

The two remained silent.

Several tens of minutes later, the doorbell rang, waking the two from their thoughts.

"who is it?"

Conan was a little confused.

No one should come here.

Subaru Okiya took a deep breath and stood up. "I'll go take a look."

A short while later, he returned with Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki.

"Sister Xiaolan?"

Conan bounced off the sofa and onto the floor.

"Hey, kid, am I not human?"

Seeing that Conan didn't greet her, Sonoko Suzuki's dislike for Conan resurfaced.

But Conan quickly added a greeting, so she couldn't retaliate.

After learning the purpose of their visit, Conan presented the prepared explanation.

Okiya Subaru, graduate student.

Since I couldn't find a suitable apartment, I'm staying here temporarily.

As for who introduced them... it was naturally Yukiko Kudo, who also hasn't made many public appearances.

That's reasonable; he's a good person.

Ran Mouri felt much more relaxed, no longer worried that the tenants were bad guys who would wreak havoc on Shinichi Kudo's house.

As for not telling her about this...

Actually, as long as it wasn't Shinichi Kudo who personally rented out the house, she wouldn't feel so bad.

If Shinichi Kudo could find the time to come back and do house rentals but didn't meet with her and even rejected her invitations, she would be furious and vow to catch Shinichi Kudo, hang him from a tree, and beat him!

Since someone was already staying there, Ran Mouri didn't want to linger. She looked at Conan and said, "Conan, I'm going to Professor Agasa's house, then I'll go back and prepare dinner. You..."

"I'll go with you, Sister Xiaolan."

Without hesitation, Conan took Ran Mouri's hand.

Subaru Okiya stared blankly.

However, he still felt a mix of emotions.

To be honest, it's hard to imagine that this child in front of me, who speaks in a sweet, coquettish voice and occasionally acts cute, is actually Shinichi Kudo.

Furthermore, Conan's image in front of the FBI is quite different from what it is now.

If this child weren't good at disguising himself...

That must be dissociative identity disorder.

Subaru Okiya gave a simple assessment, then watched the three of them leave.
