Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

Inside the tavern

Jia Chen sat at the bar, quietly listening to the music playing in the venue.

Ai Haibara sat beside her, eating her snacks like a lady.

After a while, Kogoro Mori was completely drunk and went back to rest.

The others also bid farewell to Jia Chen and returned to their rooms to rest.

After watching everyone leave, Conan, taking advantage of the absence of acquaintances, ran to Jia Chen's side.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he could no longer bear it.

Today, we absolutely have to find out what Ranne-chan meant by that sentence!

"What is it?" Jia Chen lowered his eyelids slightly, looked at Conan, and asked coldly.

Ai also turned her head and glanced at Conan.

Looking at the cold and aloof Jia Chen, Conan swallowed back the long string of questions he had prepared.

"Ah... I'm a little curious, what kind of secret do Gachen Gege and Ranne-chan have?" Conan asked curiously.

"This is an adult matter; children shouldn't know," Jia Chen said, continuing to drink.

Jia Chen had no doubts about Conan's question.

He knew that Conan had become suspicious of him.

Even with exceptional combat skills, it's impossible to rescue someone unharmed from the rooftop of a building that has already exploded.

And Jia Chen did it. Anyone who pays close attention will discover that Jia Chen has a secret that cannot be told.

But to Jia Chen's surprise, Conan had completely misunderstood...

Adult matters?

Damn it, Conan clenched his fists.

However, he was now even more certain that Jia Chen had made some unreasonable request to Lan back then.

If I hadn't shrunk, I'd beat you to a pulp!

That's what he thought, but Conan still managed a well-behaved smile with bloodshot eyes.

"Hey, Conan knows perfectly well that Ranne is innocent and kind, and that Shinichi is already with her, yet he still makes such an unreasonable request of her." Conan blinked, making no attempt to hide his malice as he uttered the most malicious words.

As Conan finished speaking, the bartender looked up at Jia Chen.

Someone this handsome would play a minotaur?!

That Shinichi guy is really pitiful.

“Unreasonable demands?” Jia Chen frowned. “Are you mistaken about something? These unreasonable demands are a necessary step on the path to maturity.”

He finally understood what Conan was talking about, and what he was unhappy about was that Ran Mouri was gradually becoming like him.

"You..." Conan instantly understood something, his face pale and dejected as he sat on the ground, looking utterly hopeless.

He couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe why Lan would agree to Jia Chen's request...

Is it because this guy is tall and handsome, has excellent fighting and reasoning skills, is wealthy and ambitious, not lecherous, devoted and affectionate, and provides a greater sense of security than Xiaolan, that he always inexplicably appears when Xiaolan needs help?

This must not stop!

Conan had absolutely no idea what reason to use to refute it.

He sat slumped on the ground, hugging his knees, looking utterly listless.

"A cappuccino, please..." Jia Chen handed Conan a cup of coffee and said seriously, "You need to understand, that was the right choice."

Only in that way will Xiaolan learn to say no, learn to be independent, and not be bullied.

Kindness is certainly a good quality, but it can also easily lead to a fall into the abyss.

Conan paused for a moment, then instinctively took the cappuccino and drank it down in one gulp.

So sweet...so sweet...

It seems that Jia Chen didn't want to be too sad, so she added a lot of sugar cubes.

But, but... why?!

It tasted so bitter...

Why are you so good to him, but so bad to Shinichika?

asshole!

I wish they treated me as well as they treated Shinichi.

Conan, sobbing, grabbed Jia Chen's thigh and rubbed it with snot and tears streaming down his face, patting it.

She looked up at Jia Chen with teary eyes.

Snapped...

Jia Chen stretched out an arm, lifted Conan up, and threw him onto the sofa five meters away.

"Did Edogawa... misunderstand something?" Ai Haibara felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

The other person's current state is almost like that of a yandere.

And the way he looked at Jia Chen just now... seemed really off.

Her woman's intuition told her, could Conan have fallen for Jia Chen?

"Probably," Jia Chen said calmly. "After all, a famous detective's brain cells are quite active, and he tends to fill in the blanks..."

"Is there any possibility?" Ai Haibara asked seriously, "Could it be that Conan has fallen for you?"

Jia Chen: "...

He reached out and gently tapped Ai's smooth forehead. "Stop...don't overthink it."

For some reason, ever since he appeared, people in the world of Detective Conan have started to imagine things.

Moreover, the art style is getting weirder and weirder...

Ai Haibara covered her forehead, her pretty face puffed out slightly, and muttered something under her breath.

Jia Chen glanced sideways and couldn't help but chuckle at Ai Haibara's expression. "What were you muttering about just now?"

"I'm not telling you." Ai Haibara turned her head away, refusing to look at Gatsuki.

"...It's getting late, let's go back." Seeing Ai's sleepiness, Jia Chen said.

Mentioning the still dazed Conan, Jia Chen led Ai Haibara back to the hotel.

Meanwhile, Conan wasn't idle either, pestering Ran Mouri with questions...

Ran Mouri, feeling helpless, comforted Conan and briefly explained the scene at the time, thus completely clearing up the misunderstanding.

Unreasonable demands are essentially a way of teaching Lan how to be independent.

Seriously...

Conan breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands behind his head, and looked at Jia Chen who was making tea.

He had no expression and seemed completely unconcerned.

Fortunately, Jiachen Gege didn't know what he was saying at the time. If he had known, he would have always misunderstood Jiachen with the utmost malice and misinterpreted him. And it wasn't just once.

What will happen to Jia Chen, who already suffers from depression...?

He didn't even dare to think about it.

"Brother Jiachen, have you seen my dad?" Ran Mouri asked as she came out of the room.

"No." Jia Chen brewed the tea and handed it to Ran Mouri. "Mr. Mouri should have gone back to his room to sleep."

"What's wrong, Ran-chan?" Conan ran over too. "Isn't Uncle Mori in his room?"

"No, I have no idea where Daddy went," Ran Mouri said anxiously.

At this moment, Eri Kisaki returned, her face somewhat dark. "I've asked the other three male colleagues, and they didn't..."

"That confused old man wouldn't actually..." Ai Haibara thought of something, feeling awkward and a little uneasy.

"I support Attorney Fei in beating up Mr. Mori." Jia Chen said coldly.

"I'll consider it." Eri Kisaki smiled, walked out the door, and headed towards Ritsuko Kisaki's room.

The others followed behind.

After the door opened, Que Bingli stood in the doorway, looking somewhat puzzled. "Attorney Fei, and Mr. Jia Chen, what brings you here?"

"I'm sorry to bother you so late," Eri Kisaki asked with a smile. "I wonder if my husband has come here yet?"

“He didn’t come here.” Ritsuko opened the door a crack, glanced inside, didn’t invite the group in, and then turned back to ask, “Did something happen? Didn’t Mr. Mori go back?”

Ran Mouri breathed a sigh of relief. "We can't find my dad. He's not in his room, nor in anyone else's room."

"I see... Do you need me to help you look for it?" Ritsuko asked.

"No need, I'm sorry to bother you." Eri Kisaki came back to her senses. "According to his personality, he used to go out for some fresh air after drinking. Let's go look for him outside."
