Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

After hearing this, Kazuha Toyama scratched his cheek somewhat awkwardly.

"Where's Hattori?" Kogoro Mouri glanced around, not finding the dark-skinned boy, and asked.

"Hmph!" Toyama Kazuha said with some dissatisfaction, "That guy said he wanted to join some detective club, so he can't come."

"I see..." Kogoro Mouri nodded, then secretly glanced at the snacks next to Gatsu.

"Mr. Mori, please join us for a meal," Jia Chen said. "We've given us too much; we can't finish it all."

"Ahem, since you've put it that way, alright then." Kogoro Mouri immediately broke into a smile, as he hadn't eaten lunch yet.

(ccch) Several people were eating and chatting at the same time.

Not long after, the lights suddenly dimmed.

The stage play is about to begin

The opening remarks describe the princess being in danger... a very ordinary and common opening.

When Ran Mouri appeared, Kogoro Mouri, with a rice ball stuffed in his mouth, excitedly cheered for her, "Great, great! Your acting was absolutely fantastic!!!"

The people around him were startled by Kogoro Mouri and began to look at him with strange eyes.

"Haha." Kogoro Mori swallowed the rice ball and said, "Let me tell you, the princess on the field is my daughter."

Kazuha Toyama covered her face in embarrassment, muttering, "Please, this is so embarrassing."

“There’s nothing shameful about it.” Jia Chen gazed quietly ahead. “Because he is a father, and the person on stage is his daughter.”

Jia Chen didn't think it was shameful... it was just a normal thing for a father.

"I know... that uncle must be Ran's father." Kazuya Toyama said after a moment's hesitation, then realized that Kazuya's focus was on "father."

That feeling of "my child is the best," that desire to let the whole world know...

Kazuha Toyama also heard about Kazutsuki's past from Heiji Hattori; when he was young, his parents died in a bombing.

Ai Haibara seemed somewhat downcast after hearing this.

How similar her situation was to Jia Chen's... Both of them lost their parents at a very young age.

She didn't know how to comfort Jia Chen at that moment.

"Jiachen..." Ai pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but only reached out and gently grasped Jiachen's hand.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ai..." Jia Chen stared in confusion. Could it be that the air conditioner was turned up too high?

The arena was a bit noisy, and fearing Ai might not hear him, Jia Chen lowered his body and poured out his voice.

Is Ai feeling a little cold?

"It's nothing... Jia Chen, I'm here."

With the gentle breeze and a slight tickling sensation, Jia Chen heard that soft, sweet voice once again...

It has absolutely no cool or refreshing taste; it's just like a marshmallow.

Jia Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized...

Ai Haibara has always been very perceptive; perhaps it was a casual remark he made that made her think of something.

"Xiao Ai is so nice..." Jia Chen smiled, and the somewhat cold aura around him relaxed slightly.

"Ran, you acted so well!!!" Because of the noise, Toyama Kazuha mistakenly thought that Gachen was also cheering for Ran, so she stood up and shouted loudly.

"Haha, that must be it!" Kogoro Mouri was overjoyed and extremely happy.

......

Chapter 221 Shinichi Kudo: Ran-chan, how could you do this?!

The stage play continues

The climax has arrived, as the princess is stopped by a carriage on her way to her destination.

"Ran, quick! Use your karate to kill all these bad guys!!!"

When Ran Mouri was pulled off the carriage by the villain, Kazuha Toyama stood up excitedly and shouted.

Ai Haibara, standing to the side, narrowed her eyes, tugged at Gatsuki's sleeve, and said, "Is this because she's the female lead's friend?"

Jia Chen was silent for a moment before speaking, "No, it's because I got too into character."

Ai Haibara:

"However... the outcome will likely be as she wishes." Jia Chen finished speaking.

A beam of light suddenly descended, and black feathers appeared in the air.

On stage, Ran Mouri's eyes suddenly sharpened from their innocent expression, and she took a deep breath.

The crowd in the stands stared wide-eyed.

The princess snatched the prop knife with her bare hands, and with a flick of her wrist, a swift sword flourish flashed by.

The surrounding villains collapsed to the ground, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Why, why did you defeat so many of us?" the villain stammered after a moment of stunned silence.

Ran Mouri slowly lowered her sword, paused for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the scene of Gatsuki and Makoto Kyogoku's battle.

She calmed down, mimicking Jia Chen's demeanor, and looked down at the villain lying on the ground.

"There are so many of you, but you can't beat me alone."

It's not that you're weak...

"It's because I'm too strong."

After she finished speaking, a black feather landed on the pure white princess dress, like a black swan.

Wow! ! !

"This is....

"So handsome, so handsome!!!"

"I want to marry her!!"

"goddess!!"

The crowd on stage began to shout.

"So cool!" Kazuha Toyama stared at Ran Mouri on the field, her cheeks flushed red.

A beautiful young woman with superhuman strength, immense power, a kind personality, and alluring curves; she's irresistible to both men and women...

Ai Haibara sat there in a daze, then frowned, looking at Ran Mouri...

Why does it look so much like my own Jia Chen?

The black-clad knight, who had just descended via rope, stood silently on the field, sword in hand.

Feeling the gazes of those around him, he scratched his helmet somewhat awkwardly.

What's going on... When did Xiaolan become so fierce?

And... the plot is different from what was said before!

Okay, let's just follow the plot.

After hesitating for a moment, the black-clad knight stepped forward, intending to reach out and embrace the princess.

Upon discovering this, Kogoro Mouri's face turned green, and he shouted, "Ran, quickly use your longsword to cut him down!"

Ran Mouri also noticed the Black Knight's lewd behavior, and her expression turned somewhat disgusted, remembering what Jia Chen had said...

He pulled back his leg and delivered a spinning kick, aiming it at the black-clad knight.

Immediately... a tremendous force accompanied the black-clad knight's scream of pain as he was sent flying to the side.

The people on the stage: "...

Shinichi Kudo, lying on the ground, struggled to lift his head and glanced at Ran.

Ranne-chan... how could you do this...?

The crowd thought it was a performance, meant to showcase the strength of women, and burst into cheers for a moment.

Lying on the ground, unable to stand due to the pain, Shinichi Kudo's face turned even greener.

Jia Chen frowned as he watched this scene.

The plot has actually developed to this point, which is a bit outrageous... but the stage play is still quite good.

It suits his style very well.

Just then, a young man wearing a baseball cap and with his eyes covered by bangs, sitting in the empty seat next to Kazuha Toyama, broke out in a cold sweat after witnessing what he saw.

One kick sent the person flying; that's even more powerful than Kazuha's!

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Ran really is like me."

Immediately, those around him cast disdainful glances his way.

"This old man really knows how to brag..." The young man in the baseball cap pursed his lips, speaking in an Osaka accent.
