Conan: The man who rejects the Criminal Department

Chapter 30 29. Qiuting Lianzi’s reminder of “goodwill”

The old curator took out a ballpoint pen from the pocket of his suit and handed it to the police officer on the side. He checked with the police manual and confirmed that the pen could indeed write.

When the staff in the art museum learned that the murderer was the curator they admired, they were surprised and took it for granted, and were conflicted for a while.

As for the motive for the murder of the museum director, it was nothing more than ideological differences and a few bad words from the deceased. With a sense of mission, the museum director directly killed the investor who was about to take over the museum and convert it into a hotel.

Zong Takuya, who has lived in Mihua since he was a child, has long been accustomed to the murder motive of the old curator. Now, it is also a strange thing on the Mihua stage. Come on, what weird motive for murder has Zong Takuya not seen?

On the contrary, Conan discovered important clues in the surveillance room and hurried back to the scene. His mouth was wide enough to stuff two large sausages, and he looked at the arrested art museum director in shock, which made So Takuya feel comfortable all over.

Conan: I just watched the surveillance and you found the prisoner? Then what's the point of watching the surveillance?!

After learning about Sotakuya's evil reasoning from Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, Conan felt as uncomfortable as eating a big fly. Damn it, this must have been sent by Amaterasu to torture him!

How could anyone reason in such an outrageous way!

You say that Sotakuya's methods are not valuable, but that's not entirely true. Whether it's the traces on the paper or the retracted nib of the pen, it's a combination of reasoning ability and observation.

But why did it start to go astray when it got to the most critical part?

So Takuya's behavior of throwing sand as soon as he was playing made Conan, who had an obsessive-compulsive disorder about reasoning, extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to pull everyone back and reason again.

Reiko Qiu Ting noticed Conan's uncomfortable look and a smile spread in her eyes. Only then did she realize why Sotakuya looked so positive just now.

'Oops!'

But just when Mao Lilan and the others were about to leave, Qiuting Lianzi unexpectedly stopped them, and then said to Xiaolan with a smile:

"Xiaolan, I heard that Conan is a child who lives in your house?"

"If Conan's parents are really in trouble, I know quite a few friends who might be able to help a little bit."

"I just don't know if Conan's family will agree."

So a group of people walked out of the art gallery.

Suzuki Sonoko on the side nodded quickly after hearing this, and said that for Xiaolan's sake, she could also help this kid's parents.

Qiuting Reiko never mentioned asking Mao Lilan to pay attention to Conan's identity throughout the whole process, but her words suddenly made Mao Lilan think that Conan's parents had never appeared since Conan moved into their house.

Just when Conan was racking his brains to dissuade Mao Lilan from contacting his non-existent parents, Sou Takuya's words almost made Conan's eyes burst with anger.

If not to say that girls have a strong ability to empathize with each other, Reiko Qiu Ting has long criticized Conan's actions. If it were her own choice to take a primary school student who has transformed from an adult into a child home and spend time with her day and night.

She felt a chill just thinking about it.

Conan's concealment behavior is basically a matter of principle.

"You said that Conan, a 'big' boy, lives in Xiaolan's house without any reason. It's not like that. Why don't you think of a way to remind Xiaolan?"

Looking at Xiaolan's current appearance, if she didn't have an explanation, she would definitely doubt herself!

Looking at the shadow of Mao Lilan and the other two people walking away, Sotakuya smiled and said, "Plant a seed of doubt in people's hearts. Reiko, you are really a master at playing with people's hearts."

No matter how Conan became smaller, it would be one thing if Mao Lilan knew the truth and accepted him, but now Mao Lilan's performance is obviously ignorant of Conan's situation.

"Just call me Sister Lianzi." Sister Yu's strong aura made Xiaolan feel as if she saw the shadow of her mother: "I quite like Conan, this lively child, and I want to take him home for one night.

"

He always felt that Qiuting Lianzi said that on purpose.

As a result, Conan has been living here for quite some time, and Mao Lilan has not only never met Conan's parents, but has not even received a single phone call.

"Eh, eh?"

How could there be parents?

In Conan's eyes, Qiuting Reiko, who had a kind smile on her face, was like a devil with wings and horns. He didn't know if it was his own imagination.

It was getting late after visiting the art museum, and Mao Lilan and the others said goodbye with a wink - they would have dinner with Fei Yingli in the evening, so they would not disturb Sou Takuya's world.

If Akito Reiko's words just set off alarm bells in Conan, Sotakuya's addition now almost made Conan run away.

The murderer of the case has already stood up and admitted his crime, and there are only some finishing touches left at the scene. There is no need for So Takuya and others to participate in the follow-up.

"After all, Mr. Mori is also my senior at the Metropolitan Police Department, isn't he?"

"You are really a bad guy," Qiuting Reiko said to Sotakuya in a funny way. This man really holds a grudge and his revenge never lasts overnight.

At this time, Zong Takuya felt that intercepting Hu Conan's reasoning was not enough, so he planned to give him some eye drops at Mao Lilan's place.

It turns out he was waiting for Conan here.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Conan could only use his child's special skills and started to behave and let Mao Lilan take her home to find her "mom". As for whether she could find her mother at home.

Isn’t that what you said?

Regarding Sotakuya's test, Conan could only resort to tricks. If only Xiaolan was the only one, Conan would still feel sure to fool him, but Sotakuya and Reiko Akito are obviously not easy to fool!

Sure enough, it is true that one family does not enter the same house!

Conan is not a fool. He still doesn't understand what Sotakuya probably knows. The reason why he said this is probably to test himself.

It's just that after experiencing such a thrilling scene today, Conan couldn't wait to find Dr. Ali to discuss countermeasures. It was impossible to change back to his original state.

But I have to solve my parents' problem.

The shady lady obviously had a lot of opinions about Conan, who brought two murders and ruined her date today. She patted Sotakuya on the shoulder and gave him a "look at me" look.

"Yes, Miss Qiuting~"

From the mouths of Sotakuya and Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Liran learned about the identity of Reiko Akito as a soprano singer and respected her very much.

But he couldn't figure out why. It was obviously the first time that everyone met today, wasn't it?

Although it was Dr. Ari who sent Conan to stay at their house, no matter how busy Conan's family was, they still made a call at least?

"Xiaolan, if you really can't contact Conan's parents, why don't you help me check in the police station?"

"You've wronged me. I should be helpful when I help my colleagues solve cases, so how can I be a bad guy?" Zong Tuozai took advantage of him and behaved, but his next words made Qiuting Reiko's eyes intriguing.

Noticing the way Mao Lilan looked at him thoughtfully, Conan's heart went off alarm bells, Edogawa Conan was just a vest he made up.

"No, no, Officer Zong, your ability to play drums is also fatal with one blow."

"Hehehe~" The two of them smiled at each other like the villains in the movie and took advantage of the charming moonlight to leave.

I always feel that the way these two get along is not like a man and woman who are getting to know each other better, but more like two villains working together and working together.

It should be considered a tacit understanding, right?
