Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

Conan paused, staring at the picture...

In the picture, a red-haired woman and a high school girl with long, straight black hair are standing next to her, talking and smiling brightly.

"No...this, this can't be real!" Conan's hands trembled slightly. The evidence was right there; the person in the photo was undoubtedly himself.

Presumably because they were too shocked, they didn't even notice that the sender's contact name was "Hanfudka".

“But he really is, I didn’t expect it.” Jia Chen shook his head. “Reality is often cruel.”

Conan was completely stunned after hearing this... He had always thought that the rumors about Shinichi Kudo cheating were just that—rumors.

Although everyone said so, he never believed it and even assured Xiaolan that it wasn't true.

However, no secret can stay hidden forever.

Everyone's saying that, so does that mean... it's true?

Conan fell silent. He began to suspect that after being knocked unconscious by Gin and given poison, he hadn't died, but had lost his memory.

But those lost memories mysteriously entered the body of a six-year-old child, Conan!

No wonder...no wonder, the bizarre events Conan sees from his perspective are all outrageous and extremely unscientific.

"No, no, I don't believe it." Conan shook his head. "Shinichiro isn't that kind of person!"

After analyzing the situation, Conan calmed down.

At first, he didn't see the photo, he only heard about it... He thought that Kaito Kid was jealous of his fame, so he impersonated him and caused trouble everywhere.

And now... there's another possibility: that the group of men in black were walking around in public to test his reaction in order to find him!

In either case, it is utterly despicable!

Since his encounter with Gin, Conan has come to understand just how powerful the organization is, and he now believes what Ai Haibara once said: that the organization's members are everywhere.

No, I absolutely cannot reveal any weakness here.

Although Jia Chen could not possibly be a member of the organization, loose lips sink ships. If she accidentally let slip a word, it could cause a storm and lead to the discovery of her true identity!

The important thing is to avoid revealing any weaknesses!

"That's outrageous! I never imagined Shinichi would be this kind of person! I can't believe it!" Conan exclaimed indignantly. "Scumbag!"

"I must tell Ran-neechan!" Conan's style suddenly shifts, transforming him into a primary school student who hates scumbags.

"..." Jia Chen glanced at Conan.

He gives off the feeling that he's messed up Conan; this expression doesn't look like Conan at all!

"And she hasn't come to see Ranchi-chan for so long, only occasionally calling her, and then hanging up immediately afterward." Conan's eyes darkened as he spoke. "That's really infuriating!"

"The way you put it... it's easy for others to think I'm a minotaur," Jia Chen said casually, recalling a joke from his past life.

"A minotaur?" Conan frowned.

Clearly, he didn't understand what Jia Chen meant by "minotaur."

However, this can be inferred...

Minotaur, literally, is a monster in a game, the kind of monster that people farm.

Moreover... when I think back to when I was playing games, and I couldn't defeat the tall, strong, high-attack, and high-health Minotaur, I always marveled at the Minotaur's power!

焦琉5}3{90(7⑨1[26

It gave him a feeling of being unmatched.

Conan seemed to understand something; he knew best who Jia Chen was.

She suffers from mental illness and always wears a cold expression, which leads to misunderstandings from others.

But he never got angry and always thought of others.

Moreover, he is highly skilled in combat, has strong reasoning abilities, and never gets angry. Isn't this exactly what a minotaur represents?

The unparalleled minotaurs!!!

“I understand…” Conan smiled, his smile clear and innocent. “Thank you, Brother Jia Chen. I think Brother Shinichi will also be like the Minotaur, invincible and never angry.”

Why did Jia Chen say such a thing? It's probably because he heard him say something very unpleasant about Shinichigo, and that's why he suddenly brought up the meaning of NTR (Netorare, a Japanese term for a person who is essentially a necromancer).

Seriously... he really is a tsundere. If he wants to encourage Shinichiro, or himself, does he really need to use himself as an example?

Jia Chen Gege is so kind, warm-hearted, and adorable...

Jia Chen: "?"

He was curious about what Conan had imagined and deduced this time.

Detectives are such a hassle; they can deduce something before the person has even finished speaking.

Conan floated on the water, his mind clear, his eyes fixed on the dark sky.

Although the sky was pitch black, it did not diminish the brilliance in his eyes. A minotaur... that sounds incredibly exciting!

After a while...

A clicking sound came from the women's bathhouse...

A petite figure slowly walked over...

Having changed into her swimsuit, Ai Haibara appeared beside the bathtub, her fair legs swaying, her cheeks slightly flushed...

The swimsuit that Ai Haibara is wearing was bought for her by Jia Chen, but it is extremely conservative in style.

Her delicate and somewhat aloof face had an adorable quality just by looking at it.

The wispy steam rising from the hot spring bath seemed to drape her in a light veil.

Ai Haibara also felt a little bit of anticipation, and when she saw that Jia Chen's pale red gaze was undisguisedly fixed on her, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Conan, meanwhile, kept glancing at the entrance to the women's bathroom, and then... his face turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

Xiao Lan, dressed in a swimsuit, walked slowly towards them. She was wearing a conservative swimsuit that did not reveal too much skin.

However, the contrast between her fair, long legs and the black swimsuit made Ran Mouri's fair skin appear even more delicate.

The swimsuit also perfectly accentuated her alluring figure.

Conan's gaze was naturally drawn to it. He struggled for a while, wanting to look but not wanting to look, before sneaking a peek.

At this moment, Ran Mouri's gaze was fixed on Gatsu... her cheeks were flushed, and wisps of steam rose from her head.

Wearing swim trunks, Jia Chen revealed a figure resembling an ancient Greek sculpture, with distinct and deep facial features and a calm, serene gaze, exuding a unique charm.

Reason told her it was impolite, but her eyes were glued to the surface, as if made of lead.

Jia Chen was so perfect that he seemed to resemble Count Dracula from the Middle Ages, and he wasn't even wearing clothes.

Human instinct made them pay special attention to Jia Chen.

Haibara slowly walked to Gatchen's side, but didn't go into the water. Instead, she found a beach chair, lay down, and conveniently blocked Ran Mouri's view. Then she opened a magazine...

Conan, standing nearby, suddenly jumped out of the water with a thud, his eyes bloodshot. (59Ⅲ021#9零>9 Monthly Fee Group...)

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

If he hadn't shrunk, he would definitely have shown off his height...

Conan paused for a moment, then looked down at his own physique.

Okay, even after he grew bigger, he still had a normal build, so there's no comparison.

but! !! !!

He would definitely catch those men in black. They were the culprits who shrunk him! He, Conan, swore in the name of the Minotaur!!!

Chapter 240 Xiaolan: I'll just touch it once

"Brother Jiachen... what's that eye on your chest?" Ran Mouri stared at it for a moment before asking curiously, "Is it a tattoo?"

Conan turned around after hearing this, realizing he and Jia Chen had been soaking in the hot spring and hadn't looked closely.

With a powerful and tall physique, a calm and cold face, and a bare upper body adorned with strange and ancient primitive patterns, its overall appearance resembles an eye.

Like ancient gods,

Conan glanced at it, then lowered his head deeply, looking somewhat puzzled.

That's strange. I didn't notice the tattoo on Jia Chen's chest when we slept together before...

"I'm not entirely sure either..." Jia Chen reached out and touched his chest, "It just suddenly appeared on my body..."

Ai Haibara gave Jia Chen a wary look with her half-moon eyes...

Just tell the truth, okay? But...

Aside from Conan's disdainful expression, Ran Mouri clearly believed it.

"Could it be..." Xiaolan exclaimed in shock, "I heard that when someone is targeted by a demon, these patterns will appear on their body."

After saying that, she realized that what she said wasn't very auspicious, so she quickly covered her mouth and looked at Jia Chen with a somewhat apologetic yet cute gaze.

“This is actually a tattoo, Ran-neechan…” Conan patiently explained with his half-moon eyes, “Garchen-gege must have forgotten about it, which is why he said it suddenly appeared on his body.”

You should know that 573, Jia Chen, suffers from a mental illness.

"That should be it..." Jia Chen said in a flat tone, his words sounding like a perfunctory response.
