Conan: I can see keywords

Mao Lilan's bright smile was still coming from the other end of the phone, "I am such an idiot, I completely misunderstood——"

"Hey, Shinichi, what have you been doing lately? Really, you didn't even contact me..."

Lingchuan mechanically selected sentences from the manuscript that could serve as answers and read them out, his eyes fixed on Mao Lilan's silly smile, never moving away.

Finally, the call was hung up.

Ran Mao Li took Conan without any hesitation and walked into a store with a smile.

It seems that he is about to meet up with Kogoro Mori.

Lingchuan, who witnessed all this, stood in the alley and began to doubt his life.

"This obviously shouldn't happen..."

Ran Mouri was able to notice something wrong from the details and began to doubt Conan's identity.

Logically speaking, her IQ is online!

Logically speaking, she is smart!

Otherwise, which normal person would suspect that a child is an adult in disguise because of words and actions that shouldn't belong to a child?

It must be because the 'language' and 'behavior' displayed by this child are those of someone very familiar to him, and this person happened to have disappeared for a long time, which led to such an outrageous guess, right?

Even so, not everyone would think of such an outrageous guess!

But, Xiaolan clearly reasoned this way, and during the testing process, Conan himself "mistakenly" admitted it.

How come in the end, just because of a phone call without even seeing the person, he dispelled his suspicion?

Also, before this, Ran Mouri was so keenly aware of the irrationality in Conan's every move.

Just now he almost threw the bow-tie voice changer in her face, didn't she see it?

Okay, even if you didn’t see it.

There is something missing from Conan's neck, and you, Ran, Mouri, who have been observing him, didn't notice it?

This is impossible!

"Why did you suddenly become so stupid?"

Lingchuan couldn't help but think about this question.

"Is it... because of the main plot?"

In the main storyline, is Conan's identity as 'Conan' not allowed to be revealed?

But... "But I succeeded in confronting Conan..."

There's no one to stop him from 'discovering' Conan's true identity, right?

"what happened……"

Is it because in the main storyline, Conan's identity cannot be revealed, or...

Is the main storyline predetermined?

Yes, it cannot be changed?

Even if the development is extremely reasonable, the direction of all characters must follow the original script?

Chapter 17 Tanvid Reiner

As soon as this guess came into his mind, Lingchuan couldn't help but tremble.

If that's the case...what's his plot in the main storyline?

Lingchuan couldn't help but panic when he thought that he couldn't change the main plot.

"Huh~" He exhaled, "Calm down, don't scare yourself..."

Worrying about something that hasn't happened yet will not serve any purpose other than creating anxiety.

Lingchuan warned himself again and again not to lose his composure, while planning to speed up the establishment of his own forces.

"When the poker cards grow up, even Conan will need to spend a lot of energy to deal with me, right?"

In his mind, Conan is the 'protagonist', and he is just a passerby with a magical treasure like a notebook, and is destined to become Conan's stepping stone.

The unknown made him panic.

Anyone who suddenly finds out that he or she has lived for decades just to achieve the success of someone who suddenly appeared in his or her life would not be able to turn a blind eye, right?

Even if it was just a guess, Lingchuan would not allow himself to grow up struggling just to achieve success for others.

"The main plot cannot be changed...what about the non-main plot?" Mao Lilan's sudden decline in intelligence made Lingchuan inadvertently learn a major feature of the main plot.

"Assuming the main storyline cannot be changed, I will start with the non-main storyline first. Is that okay?" Lingchuan was nervous and undecided.

He actually has no strength.

He didn't know anyone around him except Nako, who he grew up with.

He doesn't know who his parents are.

Whether they are dead or not, why don’t they want themselves.

He didn't know any of this.

Ever since Lingchuan could remember, Nako was his only playmate.

Therefore, even though he was very impatient with some of Nako's actions, Lingchuan slowly endured it.

As for Nako's family?

He had heard of it, but never seen it...

Ok?

Lingchuan, who was still in the 'detective' state, suddenly froze.

"Why have I never met Nako's family?"

"She never seems to be short of money..."

"Hiss..." My brain started to hurt.

Only at this moment did Lingchuan realize that some of Nako's extraordinary behaviors towards him were so strange.

Nako seems...

"Does she think of me as her property?"

A room that you can enter without knocking, a notebook that you can read without saying hello...

"Why do all of a sudden everyone seems to have bad intentions?"

Aijiro Usa... Kanako Tsubo...

-

"This is it." Nakano Yuta was holding a briefcase, and the strands of hair he had left on his forehead swayed as he walked.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that this place looks run-down. In fact, the facilities here are the best among the nearby apartments. If you want to find an apartment with such complete facilities, you won't find it unless you go to the city center."

The boy lowered his head and said nothing.

He listened to whatever the agent said, acting like a good boy.

In response, Nakano Yuta did not soften his heart just because the boy was submissive. He pointed at the falling wall and the missing stair railing and said,

“These places only look like this, but they are actually of very good quality~”

"Hmm." The boy glanced and then looked away.

"It's great that you chose us." Nakano flicked his hair. His cheap suit looked like high-end because of his body proportions and good looks.

But because of his casual attitude, other people's first impression of him was not very good.

"Well, have you decided?"

"Want to rent it?"

The boy reached into his pocket and nodded silently.

"How wise!" The boy's attitude finally aroused the remaining professionalism in Nakano. He opened his briefcase and pulled out a contract.

"The minimum contract period here is two years. Is that acceptable?"

The boy still nodded.

Seeing this, Nakano couldn't wait to take out a pen and said, "Then let's sign the contract now."

"As for the agency fee... Since you're a student, is it okay for me to only charge you 20,000 yen?"

Hearing this, the boy who was about to sign the contract hesitated.

"Why?" Nakano Yuta's tone was a little heavy, "You're not going to regret it, are you? Because of the agency fee?"

"Hey, kid, listen."

"I didn't ask you to submit a guarantee when you came here to rent a house, and no one guaranteed you, right? If you don't sign now, you won't have a chance to find such a good place again if you leave this place."

The half-threatening, half-warning words seemed to scare the boy.

He took the pen and finally wrote down his name - Tanvid Reiner.

"Good boy, remember to pay the management fee~"

Tanvid was stunned, looking a little surprised.

Nakano sighed in his heart, but he didn't soften his heart. "I forgot to tell you just now that here, the rent and management fees are separate."

Forgot to say?

I'm afraid he's just waiting to make a killing from him, right?

Tanvid remained silent.

I paid the money obediently and got the room key.

Afterwards, amid Nakano's not-so-warm words, he walked into the room, closed the door, and locked it.

All in one go.
