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

Conan darted over and took over the window seat.

But then he noticed that Xiaolan was looking at Chen Nuo with an expression that said, "He's so gentle and knows how to take care of people."

"Ran-neechan, what's that?" Conan asked, pointing to the building outside the window, trying to avoid any further communication between the two.

Since it would take some time to get to Tsujimura's house, after changing seats...

Chen Nuo began to look around the interior of the luxury car to pass the time, and naturally his gaze would occasionally sweep over the passengers inside.

For example, Heiji Hattori's dark skin; Conan's amusing deliberate attempts to look cute; Ran's brown leather shoes; Ran's long black hair hanging down in front of her JK uniform; Kogoro Mouri's mustache slightly twitching when listening to a client's advice; and Ran frequently glancing at Conan while explaining the buildings outside the window...

Besides.

Chen Nuo suddenly noticed that Tsujimura Kimie seemed a little nervous.

.

Kimie Tsujimura answered Kogoro Mouri's questions fluently and smoothly.

She had been preparing for this plan for a long time.

She must have thrown away at least several sacks of drafts of this story. How could she not have prepared meticulously if she could come up with the idea of ​​killing someone in front of a detective and then using the detective to clear her name?

The recently famous detective in front of me seems to have been completely captivated by her performance.

"It seems this famous detective is nothing special after all," Tsujimura Kimie thought to himself.

However, although the famous detective seemed to have fallen into her trap, she was still uneasy about the kid named Chen Nuo.

Although he appeared to be observing the car's interior, the way his gaze fell on her several times conveyed a strange meaning.

The feeling of being seen through made Kimie Tsujimura a little nervous.

But gradually, Kimie Tsujimura noticed that the brat seemed to be paying more attention to the girl's legs.

Am I overthinking things?

Kimie Tsujimura carefully observed the way Chen Nuo looked at Xiao Lan, and then she came to a conclusion.

Could it be that he likes me?

Although I'm not young anymore, I have a good foundation and perfect leg shape. Maybe I just happen to fit that kid's aesthetic?

Kimie Tsujimura considered whether he should offer him a little something to distract the brat from the commission.

.

Honestly, Chen Nuo was merely observing the luxury car, but he also happened to glance at Xiao Lan's long, white legs.

However, it can't be entirely blamed on him; it's actually all Conan's fault.

Chen Nuo realized after switching over that from his angle, he could better appreciate Xiao Lan's youthful JK uniform.

Xiaolan sits very upright with her back straight, which may be related to her practice of karate since she was a child.

Because of her posture, Xiaolan's youthful innocence slightly pushed up her white shirt, creating just the right gap between the buttons.

Because Conan said he gets carsick, Ran opened the car window a crack.

The wind blew in through the cracks in the car window, gently blowing against the girl's long black hair that hung over her shoulders, and the horns on the top of her head swayed from side to side with the wind.

Perhaps worried that the wind would blow her skirt open, Xiaolan placed her hands on her legs and gently pressed down the hem of her pleated skirt.

Her nails were plain and undecorated, but very neatly trimmed.

Like her unmade-up face, this natural beauty is more captivating than any adornment.

Chen Nuo was admiring the interior of the luxury car.

suddenly--

A screeching sound of brakes suddenly rang out.

Because Chen Nuo was facing away from the direction of travel, the strong push-back sensation made his back press tightly against the back of the seat.

In the field of vision, the bow ribbon on Xiaolan's white shirt collar gradually became larger.

His long, black hair, hanging down his chest, stirred the tip of his nose, and a faint peach scent wafted into his nostrils.

Then, Chen Nuo felt everything go black and he couldn't see anything anymore.

However, the sweet, candy-like taste of the shirt buttons was still clearly transmitted to his mouth.

Even through the fabric of the JK uniform, one could feel the girl's faint body temperature and her gradually accelerating heartbeat.

As the brakes came on, Chen Nuo instinctively reached out to support Xiao Lan's shoulder.

However, he reacted a little too slowly, and his hand only reached halfway before it brushed past her black pleated skirt and landed on her full, round thigh.

I don't know if it is a psychological effect.

Chen Nuo always felt that the skin on Xiao Lan's thighs inside her pleated skirt seemed much softer than the skin on the outside.

In general, they are all so soft that your fingers can sink into them with just a light pinch.

Sometimes, physical stimuli can affect a person's judgment.

Especially men.

At that moment, a rather irrational thought suddenly came to Chen Nuo's mind.

He wanted to hold Xiaolan close and savor the taste of her youthful, innocent form.

But just then, Xiaolan's little hand landed on his shoulder, as if she wanted to push him away.

Chen Nuo immediately snapped out of her irrational state.

Are you kidding me? You'll probably be mistaken for a telephone pole and smashed to pieces.

I was just thinking about it—

The second thrust during braking caused Xiaolan's body to fly backward again.

She instinctively reached for something, but there was nothing at hand, so she grabbed Chen Nuo's head instead.

But this action was seen by Conan.

Xiao Lan wrapped her slender wrists around the back of Chen Nuo's head like a lover, as if she wanted to rub her scent into his body.

Chapter 19: The Resolving of the Misunderstanding Leads to a Battleground

The driver slammed on the brakes to avoid a dog crossing the road, causing chaos among the passengers.

After an argument, the car got back on the road.

However, no one in the carriage spoke.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Needless to say, Xiaolan and Chen Nuo had been in contact for so long that they couldn't recover for a while. Xiaolan blushed and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Kogoro Mouri also kept observing Ran and Chen Nuo with a suspicious look.

As for Conan, there's no need to mention him; it seems like he wanted to raise the tranquilizer gun and give Chen Nuo a shot several times.

Hattori Heiji was quite curious and even asked, "Didn't you guys get to base?"

This made Xiaolan so embarrassed that she almost threw him out of the car window.

To hide her shyness, Xiaolan took out her phone to distract herself.

Then she discovered that there were more than a dozen missed calls from Eri Kisaki.

Xiaolan then remembered that she had arranged for Chen Nuo and Fei Yingli to meet today, but she hadn't received any calls because her phone was on silent.

Xiaolan quickly called Eri back, not only to let her know she was safe and apologize, but also to reschedule a time for Chen Nuo.

.

The car slowly came to a stop in front of a two-story Western-style building.

Everyone got off the car one by one.

Chen Nuo glanced around briefly. The Tsujimura family's villa occupied a considerable area, with many green plants planted in the yard. However, it was not particularly eye-catching among the surrounding buildings, suggesting that the residents in this area were all wealthy.

The driver drove off, and Kimie Tsujimura led everyone into the villa with the hospitality due to a friend.

As soon as I entered the foyer, a butler in a black suit came up to me.

"Madam, you're back."

As he changed his shoes, Tsujimura Kimie asked, "Where is the master?"

"Is the master usually in his study at this time?" the butler asked. "And who are these guests?"

Kimie Tsujimura: "These are my friends. I'll prepare some tea and snacks for you in the study later."

Butler: "Yes, madam."

Chen Nuo had also changed into slippers, and just as he was about to place his shoes in the corner of the entryway—which is what everyone does out of politeness—a pair of small hands reached out.

"I'll do it."

Ran Mouri took Chen Nuo's shoes and bent down to place them next to her brown leather shoes.

"Thank you." Chen Nuo suddenly felt that Xiao Lan's appearance was somewhat like a newlywed wife welcoming her husband home.

Just then, a woman's voice came from behind: "Mom, you're back?"

Chen Nuo turned around and saw a man and a woman walking out of a room on the first floor; they looked like a couple.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the woman who greeted you looks very much like Kimie Tsujimura.

Chen Nuo knew that the woman in front of him, Ms. Katsuragi Sachiko, was the daughter of Tsujimura Kimie and her ex-husband.

This murder case stemmed from that reason.

Kimie Tsujimura remarried to her current diplomat husband, Isao Tsujimura. Not long ago, her stepson, Takayoshi, brought home a girlfriend who looks very much like Kimie Tsujimura.

She didn't take it to heart at the time.

After all, there are many people in this world who look alike.

However, her husband, Tsujimura Isao, strongly opposed his son's marriage to Katsuragi Sachiko, and even brought up the matter of how he killed her ex-husband many years ago.

Upon learning the truth, Kimie Tsujimura finally conceived the idea of ​​revenge.
