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

Chen Nuo returned to the hotel alone in the end.

This is because Yukiko Kudo's current condition is not suitable for meeting everyone, not to mention that Conan has already made countless phone calls and is probably already suspicious.

So she had to use the excuse that she ran into a female artist she had worked with before at the party, and that after the party ended, she went to the other woman's house and drank all night to explain why she didn't go home last night.

As for Chen Nuo, he could only find a random excuse about investigating the case to cover it up, but it wasn't very credible.

For this reason, he was subjected to strict scrutiny as soon as he entered the hotel.

Conan was the first to speak: "You bastard, what did you do to me... uh, to Aunt Yukiko?"

Chen Nuo shrugged: "Didn't I say I went to a cocktail party?"

"Then why hasn't she come back yet, and why isn't she answering her phone?" Conan's eyes burned with green flames.

Chen Nuo was shocked: "Huh? Hasn't Yukiko-nee returned yet? I remember the event ended before 9 o'clock yesterday."

Chen Nuo's realistic acting greatly reduced the suspicion surrounding him.

"Should we call the police?" Chen Nuo took out his phone to contact the Metropolitan Police Department, which further reduced the suspicion surrounding him.

Just as everyone was hesitating.

Eri Kisaki's phone rang; it was Yukiko Kudo calling.

Eri Kisaki: "Yukiko? Where did you go? Why didn't you answer the phone? Everyone was so worried about you."

"Sorry, sorry." Yukiko Kudo's voice sounded like she had just woken up from a hangover. "I hadn't seen a friend in a long time, so I went to her house and had some drinks. I didn't expect to get drunk."

As soon as she finished speaking, a strange woman's voice came through the receiver, as if shouting from a great distance: "Yukiko, where did you put my socks?"

"It's in the wine glass!" Yukiko shouted back, then lowered her voice, "Okay, I'll explain when I get back. My friend has had a bit too much to drink, I have to go take care of her."

After hanging up the phone, everyone looked at each other, appearing somewhat embarrassed.

Fei Ying cleared her throat: "Um, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go to the kitchen and make you something to eat."

Xiaolan said with a pained expression, "I...I'll go make your bed. You can get a good night's sleep."

Sonoko Suzuki's eyes lit up: "Oh right, you've been busy all night, you probably haven't showered yet, do you want me to scrub your back?"

"How can I possibly survive like this?" Chen Nuo sighed. "Xiao Lan, go cook me a bowl of noodles. I want to eat your noodles. Yuanzi, bring out your treasured sleep-aid aromatherapy diffuser. As for Yingli-nee..."

Eri Kisaki immediately tensed up.

Chen Nuo paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Go and learn how to cook from Xiao Lan."

"You little bastard!" Eri Kisaki walked over and punched Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo took a bath, then sat on the bed filled with the fragrance treasured by Miss Suzuki, eating noodles that Xiao Lan had cooked herself.

Halfway through the meal, they heard that the fried egg inside was made by Eri Kisaki, and Chen Nuo said with admiration, "No wonder, I was wondering why this burnt smell was so familiar."

"Oh, you'll make the person who cooks like this sad." Xiao Lan, who was kneeling on the bed massaging Chen Nuo's shoulders, laughed and gently punched him.

"I think Eri-nee is already used to it."

Xiao Lan didn't respond, but instead focused on massaging Chen Nuo's shoulders.

Chen Nuo took a bite of noodles and suddenly asked, "Do you have something to say to me?"

"No, no, massaging your shoulders before bed will help you sleep better." Xiaolan paused for a moment, then continued to gently knead her shoulders.

Chen Nuo smiled and asked, "Is it about the wedding photos?"

"Huh? No, no, it's not that urgent." Xiaolan looked flustered, like a child whose thoughts had been exposed, and her hands accidentally tightened to the point of crushing the telephone pole.

Chen Nuo screamed, "Be gentle! My bones are going to break!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xiaolan quickly let go of her hand.

Chen Nuo turned around with the bowl of noodles in her hand, gave her a resentful look, and then suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, I've already made plans, I'll go tomorrow."

"Huh? Really?" Xiaolan's beautiful eyes lit up with intense joy. She scooted over onto the bed with her knees and hugged Chen Nuo from behind. "Where are we filming? Should I prepare anything?"

"Is it okay to choose a location on the beach?" Chen Nuo took another bite of noodles. "There's no need to prepare anything special; there should be supporting facilities."

Ran suddenly realized something: "Is it just the two of us? Sonoko, she..."

"Of course we won't tell her," Chen Nuo said. "If we take wedding photos with two beautiful girls, passersby will think we're monkeys in a zoo."

Xiaolan hesitated for a moment: "I feel a little bad about this, like I'm letting Yuanzi down."

Chen Nuo: "Last time at your house, Yuanzi took advantage of you going out to buy beer and secretly ate something while wearing your dress."

Xiao Lan waved her little fist: "Let's take lots of photos tomorrow, I want to make a photo album and give it to her as a birthday present."

Chen Nuo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"No, no, I have to go back and get ready. You should eat and get some rest." Xiaolan said, getting off the bed and skipping away.

She had barely left when Ai Haibara came in: "Why is she so happy? What did you promise her?"

Chen Nuo certainly wouldn't tell Ai Haibara about her secret with Ran. He glanced at the noodles he hadn't finished eating and casually said, "I fed her a bite of noodles."

Ai Haibara pouted: "What a simple woman, getting this excited just from eating noodles."

When Ai Haibara's body shrinks, she shows intense jealousy towards her peers with well-developed pectoral muscles, something Chen Nuo has become accustomed to.

Chen Nuo: "By the way, didn't you say you were going to work with Professor Agasa to improve the fireworks launcher?"

"I just stopped by to see you." Ai Haibara's gaze lingered on the bowl of noodles in his hand for a second. "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Chen Nuo: "Want me to feed you a bite too?"

"I'm not that bored," Ai Haibara said curtly, but remained standing in place.

Chen Nuo smiled, grabbed the back of her neck, and placed Ai Haibara on his lap like a kitten, then picked up the noodles with his chopsticks.

Ai Haibara: "I already said, I'm not interested..."

"Open your mouth, ah~"

Ai Haibara obediently opened her little mouth and ate the food that Chen Nuo fed her.

Chen Nuo: "Is it delicious?"

"It's alright." Ai Haibara's cheeks flushed slightly, as if she felt a little embarrassed to eat food cooked by another woman. However, the feeling of being fed by Chen Nuo quickly dispelled this slight displeasure.

The two of them quickly finished the remaining half bowl of noodles.

Ai Haibara's small, cute lips were covered in a glossy sheen, making them look crystal clear, like a sweet and delicious fruit-flavored jelly.

Chen Nuo: "You ate all my noodles, and I'm still not full."

Ai Haibara became alert: "What are you trying to do now? I have to go help the professor and the others fix the parameters of the pyrotechnic launcher later, I don't have time to mess around with you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there's something I want to discuss with you..."

Chen Nuo shared his thoughts with Ai Haibara. He had previously learned that the airshow had collaborated with the fireworks festival organizers to stage a flight performance in order to increase its visibility.

The specific methods of praise are currently unclear.

But Chen Nuo felt that if he were one of those thugs who wanted to spread the gospel, he would probably have tampered with the joint performance.

Given the unclear situation, Chen Nuo felt that this might be a breakthrough point. If he couldn't find an opportunity to stop the enemy inside the aviation exhibition hall, this could be considered a backup plan.

Ai Haibara nodded: "That's a good idea. How about we turn the fireworks you brought to the competition into something like an anti-aircraft missile?"

"If the power is too great, won't the organizers detect it?" Chen Nuo asked curiously.

Ai Haibara smiled mysteriously: "Have you forgotten Professor Agasa? His specialty is making ordinary things display amazing explosive power."

“That’s true.” Chen Nuo nodded.

"We can't let Genta and Conan know about this. Don't go to sleep yet. I'll make you a cup of coffee later. Go and help me out." Ai Haibara said, about to jump off Chen Nuo's lap.

"Wait a minute." Chen Nuo took her small hand.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else I need to be careful about?" Ai Haibara looked at him with innocent eyes, seemingly already pondering the formula for anti-aircraft missiles.

Chen Nuo: "We haven't had dessert yet."

"Time is of the essence, there's no time for dessert... ugh?" Before Ai Haibara could react, Chen Nuo swallowed her as a dessert.

The soft lips, coated in noodle soup, were as delicate and exquisite as works of art.

A little resistance added a unique flavor to the dessert, and Chen Nuo was so engrossed in it that he didn't notice for half an hour.

However, this comes at a price.

Subsequently, under Ai Haibara's deliberate revenge, Chen Nuo drank extremely strong coffee and remained in a state of exhaustion all day, unable to sleep, while accompanying Ai Haibara in making "fireworks that could shoot down airplanes".

The dazed Chen Nuo didn't notice Ai Haibara's actions amidst the fireworks.

In the temporarily rented wooden cabin.

Ai Haibara stretched and smiled contentedly at the monitor filled with complex mathematical formulas: "Finally finished. I wonder what kind of interesting expressions those vixens will have when they see this gift?"

Take another day off or 2 days off

I still need to polish Xiaolan's storyline a bit more; I'll post it tomorrow. Goodnight everyone!

Chapter 76 Dressing Xiaolan in a Pure White Wedding Dress

That night.

Chen Nuo pushed Suzuki Sonoko, who had sneaked into his room wanting him to "help her apply mentholatum," out of the room.

Then he leaned against the door, ignoring Sonoko Suzuki's complaints outside.

He was really tired. He stayed up half the night yesterday and didn't get much sleep. He originally wanted to catch up on sleep during the day, but he was tricked by Ai Haibara into drinking a very strong coffee and spent the whole day working in the temporary team's warehouse.

Although the results were remarkable, the fireworks for the competition have already been produced.

But the price he paid was that he was completely exhausted and couldn't muster any strength to play the game with Sonoko, where they applied mentholatum and then accidentally knocked the bottle over.

All he wants to do right now is sleep.

Besides, I have to accompany Xiaolan to take photos tomorrow, so I need to be in a good mental state.

However, before that, Chen Nuo had something very important to do.
