I'm in Detective Conan, but it's a chaotic battlefield.

Even the snow-white Northern Hemisphere secretly greeted everyone.

"Is it pretty?" Xiaolan asked gently.

Chen Nuo: "I think I can explain..."

Shiho Miyano, nestled in his arms, also realized what was happening. Her exposed, snow-white skin visibly turned red, like a perfectly cooked lobster.

then.

The two women exclaimed in unison, "You... bastard!!"

.

Two hours later.

Ran Mouri was the first to run out of Chen Nuo's room.

Her little face was flushed, as if she had been defeated in a fierce battle.

Shiho Miyano followed closely behind and came out of the room. Her expression was cold, and she looked much more charming than her usual gentle and obedient self.

Perhaps her temperament is suited to keeping a straight face and not saying a word.

A few minutes later, Conan entered Chen Nuo's room and searched it thoroughly. He even smelled the trash can to make sure there was no strange liquid before he felt relieved.

He arrived late and wasn't sure when Xiaolan went to Chen Nuo's room.

But the two of them together... I doubt it, right? Xiaolan probably wouldn't be that bold, would she?

Conan comforted himself.

Because of the storm, the luxury cruise ship did not arrive in Tokyo until almost noon the next day.

Chen Nuo had just woken up at that time.

As for why I sleep so late?

Of course, it's because the love triangle between my girlfriend and someone else's childhood sweetheart was too tragic!

Chen Nuo still hadn't had enough sleep.

When they got ashore, he asked Shiho Miyano about what happened the night before.

It's unclear whether she was genuinely angry or, as she claimed, regretted it.

Anyway, the next day when Chen Nuo wanted to ask her what she wanted to talk about with him the night before...

But she refused to speak.

I kept making excuses for him.

When asked more probing questions, she would adopt the demeanor of a well-behaved girlfriend, while holding a handful of red and white capsules.

This prevented Chen Nuo from getting too involved, since it wasn't the right time to completely confront Sherry; he had to wait until he was sure of the organization's stance.

And so, a thrilling and exciting trip to Hatamoto Island came to an end.

Chen Nuo received two free miners, but this time he didn't get any special attributes or unlock any new swordsmanship levels.

It seems this skill isn't so easy to obtain.

However, Chen Nuo felt quite satisfied watching the four people working hard to dig stones for him in the mine.

Putting everything else aside, the experience points of the new generation have already increased to over a thousand in the past few days. At this rate, they will soon reach level 2.

The Hatamoto family didn't want to publicize the matter, so they handled it discreetly, and the matter was left unresolved.

The next day, Xiaolan called very early.

Tell his mother that she happens to have time today and ask her to meet with him to discuss the Kazama Group.

Chen Nuo then remembered that there was still a group of yakuza members he hadn't dealt with, and he wondered if he could take them down single-handedly with his current abilities.

However, to play it safe, let's ask Eri Kisaki to help stall for a bit.

Chen Nuo stayed home and memorized the information about her new identity.

But when the appointed time came, he called Xiaolan again, but she didn't answer the phone.

Since only the time was agreed upon, the location had to be decided by Eri, so Chen Nuo didn't know where to find her.

Xiaolan's sudden silence on the phone made him a little worried.

So Chen Nuo thought about it for a moment.

They left the dojo and headed towards the Mori Detective Agency.

.

The reason Xiaolan didn't answer Chen Nuo's call was because she was in trouble.

The Mori Detective Agency is bustling today.

A dark-skinned young man wearing a hat was sitting on the sofa on the second floor.

Kogoro Mouri sat behind his desk, his face showing a scrutinizing and defensive expression.

It seems they've mistaken this guy for Xiaolan's suitor.

Conan, also half asleep, leaned back on the sofa, forcing himself to listen to the conversation.

Yesterday, Conan spent a long time in the rain on the boat while investigating the case. Later, he was also upset by Ran and Chen Nuo being together, which caused him to fall ill.

He had a severe cold, and his thinking was even becoming unclear.

However, Conan still insisted on staying in the living room to observe and analyze this uninvited guest.

Xiao Lan came over from the kitchen with a cup of tea: "Please have some tea."

"Thank you."

Ran set out the tea and sat down opposite the person on the sofa. Since this person had come to see her, Ran sat in the receptionist's seat, while Kogoro Mouri sat at the back of the office as an observer.

The dark-skinned young man said his name was Hattori Heiji, a high school detective from Osaka, and that he had come to the agency to find Kudo Shinichi.

"You must be Kudo's girlfriend?"

This guy's opening line was so unexpected that Xiaolan almost kicked him out of the office.

Only after explaining it clearly did we realize that he had found out from Sonoko that Ran and Shinichi Kudo were a couple, which is why he turned his investigation to her.

"That Sonoko, how could she say such nonsense?" Ran thought to herself.

However, that's the point.

But Xiaolan still didn't quite dare to fully trust the other party.

Although Shinichi didn't tell her what case he was investigating, judging from the fact that he was so cautious that he even changed his name, she must be a very powerful person, right?

In addition, that night, Ran overheard some of Shiho Miyano's words while she was in bed.

organization?

Is the subject of the survey an organization?

Ran had very little information, so she was hesitant to take any risks. If the other party was someone who wanted to harm Shinichi, it would be troublesome.

Xiao Lan decided to deal with the other party and then secretly contact Chen Nuo to confirm whether there was any danger.

However, her plan doesn't seem to have been very successful.

"Miss Mori, you deliberately put your phone on silent mode because you're worried about Shinichi Kudo calling?" Heiji Hattori saw right through Ran's little scheme.

After being exposed, Xiaolan was a little embarrassed: "No, no, you must have mistaken me. Besides, I really haven't seen him at all lately. You should ask someone else."

Hattori Heiji took a sip of tea.

"The Armored Knight Murder Case at the Art Museum, and the ingenious absence of evidence in the World's Greatest Night Festival," Hattori Heiji suddenly said. "You were present at both of these cases, and the famous detective Kogoro Mouri was also there."

As far as I know, the one who solved the case was a detective kid who didn't want to reveal his name.

"Miss Mori, do you think this is a coincidence?"

Before Xiaolan could speak, Kogoro Mouri peeked his face out from the edge of the newspaper and said with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by that, brat? Are you saying I'm not as good as that kid named Chen Nuo?"

"Chen Nuo?"

Hattori Heiji immediately became interested.

Xiaolan glared at her father and then explained, "No, that was just a friend I met by chance."

Xiaolan felt a chill in her heart. Her father had carelessly revealed Chen Nuo's name without knowing the details, which could potentially cause him trouble.

How can we get the other party to give up their doubts?

Xiaolan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she began to ponder.

Heiji Hattori said, "I see. Although I don't know why Shinichi Kudo suddenly disappeared, I think he must have been involved in some terrible case."

I felt that this extremely difficult case was the perfect stage for the showdown between him and me.

In other words, I'm actually a teammate who can help him solve his problems.

Heiji Hattori noticed Ran's concerns and wanted to gain her trust in this way.

Xiaolan hesitated.

At this moment, Conan suddenly interjected, "Ran-neechan, why don't you call Chen Nuo over to chat with Heiji-nii? Weren't we supposed to meet him today?"

Upon hearing this, Ran wanted to give Conan, that mischievous kid, a few big red envelopes on the head.

But seeing Conan looking so sick with a cold, she couldn't bring herself to hit him, and just glared at him fiercely.

Conan put on a cute expression and successfully fooled them.

Conan thought that this strange guy suddenly asking him to compete for the title of the best high school detective seemed very suspicious.

This is a good opportunity for Hattori Heiji and Chen Nuo, that even more suspicious guy, to test each other.

Perhaps we can use this opportunity to find out who is behind Chen Nuo.

After Conan threw out the bait, he waited in the living room to watch the show.

After hearing the news, Hattori Heiji was even less likely to leave. He stayed in the office, drinking tea and waiting for that guy named Chen Nuo.

Just as Xiaolan was hesitating about whether to use force to throw this guy out of the office.

Footsteps came from the stairs.
