Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

He's been wronged... The reason he did this was for Xiaolan, wasn't it?

"It's all this brat's fault." Kogoro Mouri turned to look at Gachen, meeting his calm yet unfathomable gaze. He involuntarily stiffened, his expression turning serious. "Well then... it's a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Gachen..."

Jia Chen nodded...

I always feel like there's something strange about Kogoro Mouri...

Or is it that Kogoro Mouri isn't as unreliable as he seems, and that he sees him as a dangerous individual and harbors some suspicion towards him?

Just then, the door opened, and Ran Mouri came in carrying a bag, having changed into slippers.

"Hey... Brother Jiachen is here?" Ran Mouri greeted Jiachen with a smile. "Then let's have lunch here today. You guys chat first, I'll go cook."

After Ran Mouri entered the kitchen, she heard the sound of kitchen utensils making noise.

“That’s true. Why don’t you stay for dinner, Jia Chen?” Kogoro Mouri said with a smile.

Jia Chen nodded, looked at Conan, took out the same cold medicine that Gin had used from his pocket, and handed it to Conan, "Take this and get some sleep, and you'll be fine."

Conan took the cold medicine in silence.

Jia Chen treated me like my first love, but I treated Jia Chen like... a scumbag.

Kogoro Mouri gasped upon seeing this scene.

Is this seemingly cold person actually quite gentle...?

After a hearty meal, Kogoro Mouri lay on the sofa, snoring away, clutching his promise.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Xiaolan." Jia Chen stood up. "I should be going now."

"Wait..." Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, but she still looked at Jia Chen with a firm gaze. "Brother Jia Chen, I have something to talk to you about."

Conan, who was sitting on the sofa nearby, looked up and stared...

Jia Chen: "What is it?"

Ran Mouri glanced at Conan, who was staring at her warily with a 2.7-colored aura, and said, "Let's go outside to talk. It's not appropriate to talk here."

"Okay." Jia Chen nodded and walked outside...

Conan, who was standing to the side, suddenly froze and quickly said...

"Sister Xiaolan, you can't!" He suddenly remembered the adult films he had watched before...

The protagonist goes to the heroine's house, gets her father drunk, and then... does unspeakable things in front of her younger brother.

"Conan, go to sleep, okay?" Ran Mouri bent down and ruffled Conan's hair. "This is an adult matter, it'll be fine in a bit~"

She still felt that she couldn't tell Conan about Shinichi, after all... Conan always imitated Shinichi's behavior, and it was really not good for a child to run around at a crime scene.

君八6)0&7]3#8$0:4]5]

After saying that, he walked outside.

As Conan watched Ran Mouri's retreating figure, for a fleeting moment... he felt that Ran would never come back—just a fart.

No matter what, he had to catch up and see what they had done.

Chapter Seventy-Four: Heavy breathing and slapping sounds from the other end of the phone

Jia Chen sat in the driver's seat, smoking a cigarette.

The car door opened, and Ran Mouri got in.

"Say what's wrong." Jia Chen glanced at Conan, who was tumbling down the stairs, and then locked the car door. "The car is soundproof."

“Okay…” Ran Mouri nodded. “Brother Jiachen, it’s about Shinichi.”

“But… I don’t know Shinichi Kudo.” Smoke swirled around Jia Chen.

“I know, I just wanted to ask you for a favor.” Ran Mouri took out the commission fee from her pocket. “I don’t want to tell Dad about this, so I can only ask you to do it.”

Ran Mouri believes that although Gatsu's reasoning is difficult for others to understand, it must be very close to the truth.

Moreover, Brother Jiachen's observation skills are amazing; he discovered a bomb on the Shinkansen.

"I see." Jia Chen nodded, watching Ran Mouri take the commission fee. "No need for the commission fee, I'll help you."

"Well..." Ran Mouri still felt that this was not quite right.

"At least you helped me on the Shinkansen train." Jia Chen lowered the window slightly and flicked some cigarette ash outside.

As a seemingly cold but extremely kind-hearted philanthropist, Jia Chen naturally decided to help Ran Mouri, who was only 22 years old.

Clear up the misunderstanding and let the story return to normal.

Conan, standing outside the car, is too small to see the scene inside, even if he jumps around.

Suddenly he felt something fall on his head, and he reached up to touch it...

This is... cigarette ash.

Conan: "...

What exactly are Xiaolan and Jiachen doing?!

"Then... I'll leave it to Brother Jiachen." Seeing that Jiachen wasn't charging a commission fee, Ran Mouri's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.

"Then tell me where you saw Shinichi Kudo?" Jia Chen threw his cigarette butt into the cigarette stub.

“I saw it in a movie theater,” Ran Mouri explained, recalling the scene.

"So, you're saying Shinichi Kudo tells you he's abroad, but in reality he's messing around with other women?" Jia Chen said after hearing Ran Mouri's explanation.

"Hmm..." Ran Mouri's expression darkened, unsure of what to say.

"It's simple, just give him a call and ask him what's going on, right?" Jia Chen glanced at the rearview mirror; Ran Mouri was looking down, seemingly lost in thought.

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri took out her phone, somewhat hesitant.

Although what Brother Jiachen said was true, she still couldn't bring herself to ask.

"I'll ask." Jia Chen calmly took the phone from Ran Mouri and made the call.

Beep...beep...beep...

Oh no! Conan felt his phone vibrate and saw that it was Ran Mouri calling him.

He turned and ran quickly toward a secluded spot, activating his butterfly voice changer.

"Hey... Ran." Shinichi Kudo's voice came from the phone.

"My name isn't Xiaolan." Jia Chen's icy voice came from the other end of the phone, making Conan shudder. The other end continued, "Where are you now?"

"Hey, who are you?" Conan's pupils were bloodshot from the cigarette ash, and he quickly seized the opportunity to assert his dominance. "Don't you know that Ran and I are childhood friends? Your behavior is very much like that of a third party."

After she finished speaking, her face felt a little hot.

His statement was tantamount to admitting that Lan was his girlfriend.

Jia Chen inside the car: "...

Huh? What the heck?

What's with this sarcastic tone?

Ran Mouri, sitting in the back seat, also moved closer to Kazuya, wanting to hear what Shinichi Kudo had to say.

“你不要误会了，我没有那种想法。”伽辰没有和柯南过多废话，主题明了道，“你现在在哪里，小兰她很担心你 小说裙8+6(0&7>3$⑧0:4>5] 。”

"Me..." Conan, hidden in a corner, activated her magnifying eye and hopped around, observing the situation inside the car. She thought she had just heard Ran's breathing over the phone.

Although it's very light... there are only Jia Chen and Lan in the car!

"I...huff...I'm in...huff...in London investigating a very important...huff...case." Conan bounced around, his shoes making a crisp pattering sound as he tried to get a better look at the scene inside the car.

Jia Chen listened to the occasional slapping sounds and Shinichi Kudo's panting on the other end of the phone, and remained silent.

He turned his head and glanced at Conan, who had already disappeared beside the car.

What is he doing right now?

"Shinichi... what are you doing right now?" Ran Mouri, who was standing nearby, also heard the voice. Her expression was a mixture of sadness and anger.

"I... huff... huff." Conan hopped around, observing the scene inside the car. Realizing his tone was a bit off, he quickly said, "Right now, huff... huff, I'm chasing a criminal, huff, I'm running."

Jia Chen: "...

If Jia Chen hadn't known that Conan was nearby, he might have really thought the wrong thing.

Ran Mouri listened to these sounds, her eyes filled with helplessness.

Conan, standing to the other side, got a clear view of the scene inside the car...

From his perspective, Ran Mouri was close to Gatsuki, as if asking for a kiss.

Conan's forehead veins bulged instantly, and images he never dared to imagine flashed through his mind. 9

If you're asking for a kiss now, will the next step be to change...?

Damn it! 3

Conan quickly hung up the phone and ran towards the black Mercedes G500. 7

"Shinichi...why did he hang up so quickly?" Ran Mouri was on the verge of tears, feeling wronged.

Jia Chen: "...3"
