Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

"Heh...very good." Gin sneered. He became a completely different person when he was with Jia Chen.

She used to be a gentle and weak little lamb, but now... she's doing quite well.

"What caused the damage?" Gin asked.

Ran Mouri breathed a sigh of relief when Gin asked about the next step.

As expected, Brother Jiachen was right... Mr. Kurosawa is indeed a tsundere.

“It’s a long story, it all started at our school,” Ran Mouri said.

"To put it simply, I have other things to do." Gin gestured to Vodka to slow down, and the old man in the back seat lit another cigarette.

"I attended the school festival, people died, then a riot broke out, and my phone got trampled and broken," Ran Mouri said briefly.

Gin exhaled a puff of smoke and snorted coldly.

It was just as he expected.

Ran Mouri followed Galiano to a crime party; the academy festival was just a cover.

He knew a lot about these things; most criminal gatherings were conducted under the guise of school festivals, dates, or dinners.

It's estimated that the dead man was Gachen, who was behind the scenes instructing Ran Mouri on what to do.

Perhaps because it was something they had just done and their technique wasn't very skillful, they were discovered by others, which led to the riot.

It's clear that the result was a victory.

Everyone around him was slaughtered by Galiano, and he, as the victor, was showing off his spoils.

Ran Mouri is calling him now, actually using the excuse of getting reimbursed to show off her first achievement. Although it wasn't ideal, the final victory belongs to her.

Otherwise, why not ask Galiano to reimburse the phone cost?

After all, Ran Mouri belongs to Galliano, and with his wealth, he can't even reimburse a cell phone?

It's like a child who gets a high score or makes some achievement and then shows off to an adult.

Ha... he's just a high school student after all.

“Well done…” Gin sneered. “I can reimburse you. Your focus now should be on your studies. Don’t go with Jia Chen into dangerous things.”

Ran Mouri originally wanted to explain that it wasn't that Jia Chen took her to participate in anything dangerous, but rather that she had invited him...

But remembering that Gin had said he was very busy, Ran could only nod and agree.

"I don't have time right now. Go ask Galliano for reimbursement; he'll agree." Gin hung up the phone decisively after saying that.

It's not that he can't afford to buy a phone.

I've just heard that shopping for a cell phone with a female high school student is a waste of time.

This is what Vodka told him; Vodka himself has said that he understands these things very well.

Besides, he's been very busy lately and just can't find the time... so he can only entrust it to Galliano!

"Brother Jiachen, Mr. Kurosawa has agreed." Ran Mouri was clearly excited after receiving the praise. "Brother Jiachen was right after all. Mr. Kurosawa is indeed a tsundere."

"I'll take you there in a bit." Jia Chen silently scorned Gin in his heart. "Wait for me, I'll drive you there."

Ran Mouri had just opened a noodle shop, and Jia Chen naturally heard the whole thing.

You can tell from every word Gin says that he's going to sabotage himself.

"Brother Jiachen, are you sick today?" Ran Mouri asked. "Your voice is a little hoarse."

"It's nothing serious, it won't affect anything." Jia Chen turned to look at Ran Mouri. "Being sick won't stop me. I'll go with you to buy a phone in a bit."

After saying that, Jia Chen went into the room by himself.

"Um (Li Qian's) um..." Ran Mouri didn't know what to say, so she could only nod in response with a flushed face.

Jia Chen's words were so gentle... I felt very safe.

It was like a confession; even being sick wouldn't stop him from accompanying her to buy a phone. But clearly, Jia Chen was completely oblivious.

"Let's go..." Jia Chen put on a black trench coat, put his hands in his pockets, and went out.

Ran didn't say anything, but she secretly made a mental note that Brother Jiachen was sick. She planned to come here these days to help Brother Jiachen cook, or bring him food.

"Hey... Brother Jiachen, why has your hair suddenly grown so long?" Ran Mouri quickly caught up with him and only then noticed that Brother Jiachen's hair had grown quite a bit.

Because I was in a bad mood when I was getting my phone reimbursed, I didn't notice it.

“I suddenly went through puberty last night; my hair grew longer, and I also grew a little taller,” said Kanazuma Tatsumi.

"..." Ran Mouri's beady eyes.

Chapter 250 The Succubus of Beika Town, Gachen

Two or three o'clock in the afternoon

Jia Chen accompanied Ran Mouri to buy a cell phone, got her hair trimmed, and planned to drive Ran Mouri home first, before going home to sleep himself.

My head feels a bit dizzy right now, and I want to sleep.

In addition, my throat is a little sore.

However, they were stopped by a group of elementary school students halfway there.

"Brother Jiachen!"

"It really was a mistake by Brother Jiachen!"

Ayumi Yoshida stood by the roadside, smiling and waving her hand. The Junior Detective League stood beside her.

"It's Brother Jia Chen..." Conan glanced at him with his half-moon eyes and pursed his lips.

Jia Chen: "...

Conan, the Detective Boys, and Ran Mouri sitting in the back seat.

It's likely another case is about to occur, and right now he just wants to focus on recovering.

never mind...

Jia Chen slowly parked the car on the side of the road.

"Move aside and let Jia Chen park the car properly," Ai Haibara said calmly, carrying her burgundy backpack.

“Okay.” The Junior Detectives stood obediently to the side.

After the car stopped, the back window slowly rolled down, and Ran Mouri looked at the group of elementary school students with a smile, "Where are you all going?"

"Oh, Sister Xiaolan!"

"Why are Sister Xiaolan and Sister 580 in Brother Jiachen's car too?"

“What?!?”

Amidst the puzzled murmurs of the Junior Detective League, a voice filled with disbelief, astonishment, and anger arose.

Conan's eyes widened, and he walked over to Jia Chen's car with his short legs, then slammed into it.

The small fist, imbued with the power and killing intent of death, smashed a dent into the car door.

Jia Chen, you bastard!

Conan's lips trembled with anger; he wanted to say something but didn't know where to begin.

It feels like walking down the street and suddenly finding your childhood sweetheart sitting in a luxury car, chatting and laughing with the driver.

It's so bad!

Jia Chen: ?

Is Conan out of his mind?

Why would someone come over and bang on his car door for no reason?

"Conan, what's wrong with you?"

"Yeah, why did you suddenly start pounding on Brother Jiachen's car door?"

"Could it be that she misses Brother Jiachen too much?"

The three members of the Junior Detective League stared intently at Conan with their large, innocent eyes, filled with great confusion.

"Conan, that's very rude." Ran Mouri looked apologetically at Gatatsu and said to Conan.

"It's okay, this car was just serviced the day before yesterday." Jia Chen got out of the car, glanced at the small fist mark, and said that the car door was dented. "30."

Conan, standing to the side, was completely stunned.

300,000... What kind of car costs 300,000 just for moving?!

If I hadn't shrunk in size, I would have been taking a taxi!

Despite his thoughts, Conan still managed a behaving obedient smile, his eyes bloodshot. "I was so excited to see Brother Jia Chen that I was pounding on the car door."

"Don't be so petty, Brother Jiachen..." Conan said in a coquettish tone.

"It's fine if we don't mind." Jia Chen looked at Ran Mouri.

"Hey!" Conan couldn't help but say, "Hey, you're not planning to make some unreasonable request of Ranchi-chan again, are you?"

"You're overthinking it." Jia Chen coughed twice and rubbed his nose. "Don't worry about it, Conan. It's understandable that you're excited to see me."
