To convince Inspector Megure, Eri turned to Narutoshi and said...

"Cheng Shi, prove it."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi got up, lay down, and finished in one go.

Inspector Megure: "

Conan, observing with curiosity:

Very good, this proof is very strong.

However, Inspector Megure still has one more question to ask.

"Um, Eri, who is this boy?"

If he remembers correctly, Mori and Eri didn't seem to be divorced, right?

“Oh, I almost forgot,” Eri introduced him, “This is my distant cousin, Wen Chengshi, a citizen of Shenzhou.”

"Oh, I see," Inspector Megure said, his expression immediately relaxing.

Thankfully, it seems that the couple's relationship hasn't faded despite their separation.

"Yes, now you can rest assured, Megure, right?" Eri Kisaki said with a smile.

"Haha," Inspector Megure feigned ignorance, "I didn't understand what you were saying."

Then, without waiting for Eri's response, he spoke again:

"Alright, now that the culprit has been caught, I'll be going now. Let's catch up next time."

After saying that, Inspector Megure turned and walked out the door with a gait completely out of character for his size, heading straight for the police car.

Upon seeing this, the other officers immediately carried the unconscious prisoner into a police car and drove away.

After watching the police car leave, Eri Kisaki's gaze returned to the boy beside her.

"Chengshi, you can sit here for now. Don't even think about going somewhere else to sit alone."

"Oh? That won't do. You still need to chat with your daughter."

Cheng Shi didn't want to be a third wheel here.

"It's okay. Once she arrives, we'll go straight to your brother-in-law's house. We can chat for as long as we want then."

Just as Cheng Shi was about to speak, a voice that sounded both familiar and unfamiliar rang out.

"mom!"

"Ran." Upon seeing her adorable daughter, Eri Kisaki smiled happily.

But then

"Why are you wearing such a short skirt again? You'll catch a cold if you stay in the wind for too long."

"Oh, Mom, we finally get to see each other, so please stop nagging about my clothes," Xiaolan pouted and said coquettishly.

Although she looks very cute, unfortunately Eri Kisaki doesn't fall for her charms at all.

"You'll see that your mother is right when you catch a cold."

"Mmm-hmm." Xiaolan nodded perfunctorily.

Anyway, she doesn't dress like this often, and it's the middle of summer, so where would there be so much wind?

Seeing her reaction, Eri knew immediately that her daughter hadn't listened to her.

But Eri Kisaki didn't care. After all, there was an old man at home who would probably find it even more unbearable to wear clothes that exposed his belly button.

Furthermore, it's true that I haven't seen my daughter in a long time.

Eri Kisaki looked Ran up and down.

Yes, Not Bad.

It seems that the old man has not mistreated her materially.

"Xiao Lan, it's okay to eat cake, but don't eat too much, or you'll get fat."

"Cake?" Xiaolan was taken aback when she heard her mother's reminder.

But she quickly realized what was happening.

Oh, right, I bought this cake to appease Conan.

Where's Conan?

"Mom, have you seen Conan?"

"Conan? The kid you mentioned who was taken in at home?"

"Yes, yes, he's here too."

"I didn't see it," Eri Kisaki shook her head.

But come to think of it, there was indeed a child in the coffee shop just now?

I don't know if it was him.

Thinking of this, Eri looked around.

Then her gaze instantly locked onto Xiaolan's back.

There, a child wearing black-rimmed glasses stood looking embarrassed.

"Xiao Lan, do you think it's him?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan immediately turned around and glanced back.

"Conan! Where did you go just now?"

"Ran-neechan," Conan said with an awkward smile, "I just went to the restroom."

"Really?" Xiaolan squinted at him.

Why do you answer so guiltily if it's just about going to the toilet?

"Of course it's true," Conan replied earnestly.

Xiaolan was so serious that she thought the guilty look she had just seen might be fake.

Of course, it can't be faked, but it can't be explained either.

After all, mistaking someone for someone else...

Chapter 31 Conversation

In the end, Ran chose to believe Conan.

After all, children rarely lie, especially Conan, whom she has watched for so long.

However, just as she was making this decision...

Cheng Shi suddenly sat up from the sofa and spoke:

"This child didn't go to the toilet just now. He was the first to rush in after hearing the noise in the toilet. He reacted very quickly."

"But it was also reckless. If I hadn't been there to subdue that person, the child might have been in danger."

After Cheng Shi finished speaking, Conan's face immediately froze.

Oh no, we've been exposed.

Sure enough, the next second, Xiaolan's serious gaze immediately locked onto him.

"Conan!"

"Yes!"

Conan immediately stood up obediently.

He was then subjected to a beating that lasted for more than ten minutes.

Looking at her eloquent speech, Eri Kisaki couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.

My poor daughter, how did she suddenly reach the age of taking care of a child?

However, what she didn't know was that Cheng Shi saw this situation as perfectly normal.

Because there is a group of young people in China who are called Dehua.

Their videos of taking care of children are practically identical to Xiaolan's now.

However, sometimes the protagonist is really outrageous.

Could it be the protagonist's halo?

Or perhaps it's something else entirely.

In any case, the scolding didn't last.

Of course, it wasn't Cheng Shi and Eri who stopped them.

Instead, it was a strange man with a ponytail.

Or rather, his date—Sonoko.

The moment he saw her appear, Conan's eyes widened instantly, and he took a deep breath and shouted:
