Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

But Jia Chen didn't think so. He believed that the other party had shown some talent before.

He graduated from an excellent police academy, consistently ranking first in judo and wrestling, and his marksmanship was superb.

He later joined the First Investigation Division and was unanimously hailed as a star of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Okay, I understand." Ran Mouri nodded vigorously. She decided to go home and ask her father.

At the same time, I felt a warm feeling in my heart, though I didn't know where it came from.

But noticing that someone as calm and aloof as Brother Jiachen goes to such lengths for her safety makes me very happy.

Jia Chen nodded and glanced at Ran Mouri, who was still pondering her words.

“Also, you don’t need to worry too much. No matter what, you have me,” Jia Chen sneered. “After all, you are the woman of Black Shelter.”

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri, who was deep in thought, felt her heart pound again.

Seriously, Brother Jiachen is saying those confession-like things again... But...

Ran Mouri glanced up at Jia Chen, who was calmly smiling, and sighed. It seemed that he didn't notice anything.

"I'm going to the convenience store to buy a bottle of water. Would you like something to drink?" Jia Chen glanced down at the time.

I also replied to Ai's message, telling her I'd be back soon.

"Cola, please..." Ran Mouri said. "I'll go with you."

"Whatever." Jia Chen got out of the car and walked towards the convenience store.

After buying a few bottles of water and a box of Seven Stars (a traditional Chinese medicine), I went to pay...

The sales clerk at the counter smiled and said, "We're having a lucky draw today. Would you like to try your luck? The grand prize is three complimentary tickets to the Karuizawa Hotel!"

“A lottery…” Jia Chen turned to look at Ran Mouri, “You do it.”

"Mmm." Ran Mouri nodded; she still really enjoyed the lottery.

There are three rounds in total. Since it's an electronic lottery, there's no insider information about the odds.

First round... Grand prize.

"Congratulations..." the clerk said, taking out a Karuizawa hotel voucher from a box next to him.

Second round...Grand prize. Old drought 86 zero {73⑻]045

Another big prize in the third round...

Shop assistant: ...

He finally saw what a true lucky person looks like.

Then... Ran Mouri walked out with three hotel invitation tickets, completely satisfied.

"Brother Jiachen, this is for you." Ran Mouri handed the invitation to Jiachen.

Jia Chen took a invitation voucher from Ran Mouri's hand. "Take the rest. We'll go together later."

"I can't accept this," Ran Mouri said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's alright," Jia Chen replied calmly. "After all, you were the one who drew it."

"Okay." Ran Mouri nodded.

While the two were talking, Vermouth stood on the side of the street, silently eavesdropping with earphones on.

After the two entered the convenience store, she installed a listening device near the car.

However, judging from Galliano's tone, it seemed that he had misunderstood something.

The other party does indeed have a good relationship with Ran Mouri, and Ran Mouri is still the kind of child who likes to think of others, and has not been influenced by Galiano.

Things here can be put on hold for now.

Once she secretly deals with the shrunken Sherry, Conan can maintain his current state without being discovered by Galiano and the organization. Therefore, as long as the organization is not involved, Galiano can be put on hold for now.

Furthermore, they can leverage Galiano's relationship with Ran Mouri and Conan to help take care of him.

Looking at it this way, we must get rid of Sherry as soon as possible.

However... it seems that Sherry is now living in Gachen's house in the same way as Galiano's sister.

The simplest way to get rid of her is to reveal your identity.

Galiano will do it for you without you having to lift a finger.

But... this would also expose Conan's identity.

And then it involves Ran Mouri...and the people around her.

Thinking of this, Vermouth's expression turned somewhat grave.

With Galiano in the past and the FBI in the future, things are very difficult for her now... but there's always a way to overcome difficulties.

It seems that we can try to divert the FBI's attention first.

Inside the car, Ran Mouri glanced at her phone.

The phone rang the moment the screen lit up.

"Hello... Conan?" Ran put the phone to her ear and asked softly.

"It's me, Ran!" Kogoro Mouri shouted. "Where are you? You didn't answer my phone, and it's so late, why aren't you home yet!"

"Give me back the phone, Uncle." Conan rubbed against Kogoro Mouri's leg.

He was the one who kept making the call, but after the call connected, Kogoro Mouri snatched it away.

He reaped the benefits without lifting a finger; how despicable!

"I'm..." Ran Mouri felt a little guilty. She couldn't lie, but she had promised Jia Chen that she wouldn't tell anyone about what happened tonight. "I'm with Jia Chen now... and we're getting ready to go home."

"Gachen." Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly realized something was wrong. "What were you and Gachen doing just now?"

"What we just said..." Ran Mouri said, "we won a hotel voucher."

"What?!" Kogoro Mouri's voice rose a decibel.

Hotel, hotel!!!

"What's wrong, Uncle Mori?" Conan was startled by Kogoro Mori's shout.

Kogoro Mouri didn't answer, and slumped into his chair, his phone falling to the ground with a thud.

"Mori, Uncle Mori?" Conan called out tentatively.

"Hotel...hotel..." Kogoro Mouri's huge eyes bulged with conflicting pupils. "Gachin, you're not human! She...she's only seventeen!"

Kogoro Mouri kept muttering this phrase.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri like this, Conan felt a chill and quickly picked up the phone from the ground. "Hello, Ran-neechan, what happened?"

"Nothing happened, really." Ran Mouri blushed slightly, knowing immediately that her father's thoughts had gone completely astray.

Besides, Brother Jiachen was listening in the background...

"What happened?" Jia Chen asked.

8695)9⑺;389栳【Han】

"N-nothing...it's nothing," Ran Mouri said somewhat knowingly. "It's Conan..."

"We'll be there soon," Jia Chen said.

"Mmm." Ran Mouri nodded, hurriedly replying to Conan, "That's all for now, Conan. If you're hungry, there's food in the fridge that you can heat up. I'll be right back."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Beep beep... Beep beep...

The busy signal tone is cold and indifferent.

Conan placed the phone on the table, looked down at Kogoro Mouri, who had collapsed to the floor at some point, and asked, "Hey, Uncle Mouri, what do you do at the hotel?"

"What do you think?" Kogoro Mouri asked blankly.

Conan silently lowered his head, walked to the door without saying a word, jumped up, grabbed the doorknob, turned the doorknob, left the office, and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Conan, with a blank look in his eyes, used his body to block the car.

A quick-thinking, experienced driver, after passing this section of road, wanted to pick up passengers, but upon noticing a familiar elementary school student, he quickly turned around.

He vaguely remembered the elementary school students who exuded a murderous aura at the time.

A little while later, a black Mercedes-Benz G-Class came to a steady stop less than half a meter in front of Conan (Li Nuohao).

Conan's body ended up touching the car.

"Conan, what are you doing standing here?" Ran Mouri quickly pulled Conan away after getting out of the car. "Are you hungry? Dad, honestly, it wouldn't hurt to heat up some food from the fridge."

Upon seeing Ran, the coldness in Conan's eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a sunny disposition. He said in a childlike voice, "No, I just came downstairs to see when Ran-chan will be back."

Ran Mouri looked somewhat helpless...

"Where's Jiacheng Gege?" Conan looked up and asked in his childish voice.

"What's up?" Jia Chen, who was replying to messages in the driver's seat, looked down at Conan outside the window and asked coldly.

Conan, who had prepared a whole host of questions, was rendered speechless by Jia Chen's words.
