Conan: The man who rejects the Criminal Department

Chapter 24 23. The Tormented Conan

It's the weekend.

Although Sou Takuya usually likes to sleep in on weekend mornings, because he accepted Suzuki Ayako's request, Sou Takuya had no choice but to get up before the time to go out.

After taking a quick shower, Sotakuya was ready to go out.

As a result, she happened to bump into Reiko Qiu Ting who was also going out.

Different from the last time when she was dressed in a sporty style, today Reiko Akiba is wearing a long skirt and a jacket on her upper body, which makes her look more layered.

With wavy hair hanging behind her back and a pair of red eyes, she looks very powerful when there is no smile on her face. Long-term vocal practice gives Qiuting Reiko a special temperament.

The mixture of these elements firmly caught Sotakuya's eyes.

Eating melon together once and sharing a secret greatly shortened the distance between Zong Takuya and Qiuting Reiko.

After asking Reiko Akiba about her plans for her day off, Sotakuya invited her to have breakfast at a cafe and check on Sonoko's prospective boyfriend.

After introducing each other to Reiko Qiu Ting and Mao Lilan, Mao Lilan expressed her request to Sou Takuya: "Officer Zong, can you help me take a look at Conan?"

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko, who was trying hard to dress herself up and choose an exquisite headband, sneezed hard.

Isn’t this female high school student and elementary school student the perfect combination of Mao Lilan and Conan!

Sotakuya was stunned for a moment when he unexpectedly met Maorilan and Conan in the cafe. Then Sotakuya and Akiba Reiko were also spotted by Maorilan and Conan who were sitting opposite the door.

There are so many "substitutes" that can confuse Mao Lilan, and there is also no short-term antidote that can temporarily turn him back to Kudo Shinichi.

"She is Mr. Mouri's daughter that I told you, Kudo-san's childhood sweetheart - Mouri Ran." Sotakuya's soft lips moved slightly and his voice reached Reiko Akito's ears.

As Qiuting Reiko spoke, she glanced in the direction of Conan and then said to Mao Lilan with a smile: "Don't worry, I believe Conan is a good boy and will wait for you to come back in his seat, Xiaolan."

Although the crisis that Sotakuya was Mao Lilan's date was over, Conan did not forget that Sotakuya seemed to be aware of it and asked Xiaolan a lot of questions.

Because the transformation from Kudo Shinichi to Conan was too hasty, he didn't clean up a lot of things. In other words, the current Conan is completely different from the later Conan.

Then he quietly walked to the corner, trying his best to prevent Sotakuya from noticing him.

"Meet an acquaintance?" Akito Reiko's beautiful eyes flashed, and as soon as she entered the cafe, she saw a well-dressed female high school student saying hello to Mune Takuya.

"I actually made an appointment here today, but this kid followed me secretly. I wanted to go to the store opposite to buy this kid a cake and let him take it back, just because I'm afraid this kid would cause trouble here."

The female high school student was talking to the elementary school student next to her in a flattering manner, but the elementary school student was indifferent and even put her feet up on the table in the cafe arrogantly.

He simply couldn't withstand the investigation. If Sotakuya really had doubts about the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and him, Conan wouldn't even be able to find a good way to deal with Sotakuya's cross-examination.

But what if you don’t leave?

Conan always feels like his secret will be exposed at any time, especially the female companion brought by Sotakuya. If you say you two are dating, then you are dating. It's okay. Why are you always watching me do it?

But who makes me feel that way?

After showing a sweet smile to Akito Reiko and Sotakuya, he immediately turned his head away from them. Conan is now extremely entangled. He may have wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong, but Xiaolan's date candidates have not yet been fully investigated.

Reiko Akiba, who had just gone to Kudo's house with Sotakuya to investigate before, naturally knew about Mao Lilan's situation. She glanced at Conan, who had turned into a shameless child and lived in a girl's house calmly, and then watched Mao Lilan run to Sotakuya's house.

before.

Conan, who originally saw Sotakuya appearing in the coffee shop, immediately raised the level 1 alert, but he relaxed his vigilance when he saw Reiko Akito, the King of East Asia's Jealousy, coming in behind Sotakuya.

What the steely straight man So Takuya doesn't know at all is that if a girl wants to have a makeup as exquisite as Reiko Akiba's, the preparation and makeup time will definitely not be done in ten or twenty minutes like when he takes a shower in the morning.

Mao Lilan was very embarrassed to say what she said. She felt like her naughty child wanted to get rid of him. But she didn't understand why Conan, who had never cared about her, suddenly became naughty today?

"Of course it's no problem, just leave this child to us." The person who responded to Mao Lilan's request was not Zong Takuya, but Qiuting Reiko next to him.

Maybe they arrived too early and there were not many customers in the coffee shop yet, but they saw a well-dressed female high school student and an elementary school student who looked like his wife had run away.

Although I had expected Sotakuya's invitation to a date with the steely straight man Reiko Akiba, I really didn't expect it to be so outrageous. He would actually invite a girl to help another girl's sister check her boyfriend.

Although it was slightly different from the date she had expected, it was not the worst development in Reiko Qiu Ting's mind, and it was not unacceptable.

Mao Lilan was a little happy to see Sotakuya, but Conan beside him was not in such a happy mood.

Although the way the date unfolded was somewhat unexpected, on the way Sotakuya recalled the scumbags Suzuki Sonoko had encountered since childhood, and the atmosphere between the two began to become harmonious and happy again.

This transformation of Conan puzzled Mao Lilan. Conan was obviously stubborn just now, but So Takuya turned into a good boy as soon as he walked in?

Isn’t this contrast a bit too great?

If Mao Lilan knew the word double standard, he would find that this word is really appropriate when applied to Conan.

So it seems that So Takuya's love luck is a little too good?

If Zong Takuya knew what Qiuting Reiko was thinking, he would definitely complain immediately. Speaking of which, there are not many girls who have known Zong Takuya since childhood.

Conan, who was originally acting like a naughty child, saw Sotakuya's arrival and instinctively put away his feet on the table and sat upright.

Suzuki Sonoko: I don’t believe that my luck will always be so bad!

The two of them followed the address given by Suzuki Ayako and arrived at the coffee shop where Suzuki Sonoko and her prospective boyfriend were going to meet. After entering, Sotakuya instinctively looked around and took in the entire store environment.

You can even count them on one hand, and even Mao Lilan, who was standing up to greet Sotakuya, only met him recently.

Qiu Tingrenzi said that going out for a casual walk would not make her wake up early on weekend mornings and spend so long on applying such exquisite makeup.

It's just that Sotakuya doesn't seem to be very interested in him now.

Before Conan could get lucky, Qiuting Reiko's sharp gaze instantly made Conan's whole body tremble. Conan always felt that he had experienced this kind of terrifying feeling when he was a child.

How honest I am now!

Sotakuya, who was sitting diagonally behind Conan, smiled and asked, "How is it? It's amazing. It looks no different from an elementary school student."

Akito Reiko nodded, half agreeing with Sotakuya's statement, and then added: "Although he looks like a primary school student, I can feel that he is very uneasy now, especially when he looks at me."

"It's like a frightened rabbit. It always feels like it will jump up in the next second."
