Conan: Starting out by living with a divorced older sister

But now is not the time to confess to her.

"My name is Ikebo Jinghua, you can call me Sister Jinghua!", saying this, and winked at her playfully.

Perhaps it was an innate tacit understanding, Murong Zi understood it immediately. While knowing her sister's identity, she also knew her plan to hide her identity.

"My name is Murong Zi, welcome Sister Jinghua!"

"Ikenami Shizuka! What a nice name!" Xiaolan praised when she heard the woman's name.

"Xiaolan, you can also call me sister!" Xiaozi said from the side, because she knew about the relationship between Xiaolan and Murong Zhen, and they would be together sooner or later.

"Ah? Isn't this a bit rude?"

After hearing Murong Zi say this, Ikeba Jinghua knew Xiaolan's identity.

But looking at Xiaolan's appearance, temperament, figure and personality, he felt relieved. It is hard not to attract Murong Zhen with such a girl.

After all, she knows her husband very well!

It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let eight hundred go!

What this means is that these 1,800 are all his!

Chapter 299: Finding Someone

"It's okay. Although I'm much older than you, I can still bear to be called sister if you are willing."

"Sister Jinghua~", Xiaolan called shyly.

"Well, let's order, Mr. Maori, what would you like to drink?"

“An iced coffee!”

"Where's Conan?"

"A glass of iced lemon tea!"

"It's so cold outside now, be careful of getting a stomachache if you drink something cold. I'll order you something with less ice."

"Hi!" Conan could only nod in agreement, because this was his mother's special instruction, asking Sister Xiaozi to supervise his diet.

I thought to myself: Mom and Sister Xiaozi, you two are acting like loving sisters, but I'm the one who suffers!

"What about you, Xiaolan?"

"A glass of iced lemon tea!"

"Okay, a cup of hot lemon tea!"

"Hmm? Sister Xiaozi, it's iced lemon tea!"

"Okay, hot lemon tea!"

"Sister Xiaozi, you did this on purpose!"

"Ah Zhen has specifically told you to drink less cold drinks, especially these days..."

"Oh~", Xiaolan said "oh", and could only nod and agree with a red face. Her personality was sometimes a little careless, and she didn't consider some things comprehensively. There were even a few times when she played football in a short skirt. Fortunately, only Murong Zhen saw it.

Although it was Murong Zi who was speaking, what Xiaolan felt was still the warmth brought to her by Murong Zhen.

Everyone present understood the meaning of the conversation between the two, and they all had their own inner thoughts, which they did not express.

"Sister Jinghua, what would you like to drink? Oh, do you want to take off your coat? I'll hang it up for you. The temperature in our cafe is quite warm."

Speaking of the tweed coat, Jinghua actually wore it to cover her belly. If she took it off, everything would be exposed, so she politely declined Murong Zi's kindness.

"It's okay, no thanks, I'll drink Reiko's... iced coffee... Forget it, have a cup of hot lemon tea!"

"Okay, wait a moment, it will be served soon."

"Sister Xiaozi, I see that there are too many people in your store and you are a little overwhelmed. Have you considered hiring a few more people?"

"Yeah, I'm hiring. I plan to hire someone who knows coffee and can make some desserts. It's best if he's a man, because there are too many female staff members in our cafe. I have to consider them, but I haven't met the right one yet."

"A man? Don't hire someone who's too handsome, or else Zhen might get jealous again!"

Jinghua, who was listening to the conversation between the two, chuckled and covered her mouth. Indeed, the impression Murong Zhen left on people was deeply rooted.

"Humph! I don't care about him! I don't see him all day."

"Oh? Then why were you not in the store the past two days? What were you doing?" Seeing that Xiaolan had exposed him, Murong Zi turned around and left with a red face.

Conan, who has been silently watching this beautiful client from the side, feels that this woman must be hiding some big secret!

This is indeed the case! Two big secrets that only Murong Zhen can know!

Conan asked tentatively: "Aunt Jinghua, what is the Reiko you just mentioned?"

"Oh, that's what I have to ask Mr. Maori."

"When I was in the second year of junior high school, I was a member of the Kendo Club. There was a guy named Shibata Shiro in the same club. We were also classmates."

As she spoke, Jinghua took out a group photo, which contained several men and women in kendo uniforms. It should be a group photo of the members of their kendo club after the competition, because the taller boy in the middle was holding a trophy in his hand.

"Wow! The girl next to this boy must be you, Ms. Jinghua. You are so cute! You have been beautiful since you were young!"

"Thank you Mr. Maori for the compliment! I will continue. Actually, I have several photos of this game. However, I accidentally put a photo in a book. This book was borrowed from Shibata Shiro, so I asked Mr. Maori to find him and retrieve the photo.

As for the Reiko I just mentioned, she is the heroine in that book!"

"Oh, I see! Then may I ask, is Shibata Shiro your first love?"

"That's not the case, I'm just a simple classmate!"

"Oh, I see. What are your hobbies?"

“Hobby of knitting some things”

What Jinghua said was indeed true. When she was at home in the countryside, her parents didn't let her work, so out of boredom she did knit some small socks, small hats, small scarves and so on. Although she knew that it would not be cold by the time her child was born and they might not be needed, her heart as a mother prevented her from caring too much.

Even if she couldn't wear it, she felt comfortable just looking at it. Thinking about the little baby she would have in the future, a hint of tenderness unconsciously showed in Jinghua's eyes.

"What a coincidence! My mother is one too!"

Maori Kogoro glanced at Xiaolan and continued, "Ms. Jinghua must be very proficient in cooking, right?"

"Then Mr. Maori may have seen it wrong. Look at my hand. I accidentally cut it while cutting vegetables."

As he said this, he raised his left hand which was wrapped with tape.

"What a coincidence! My mother is one too!"

"Ms. Jinghua, are you single?"

"Yeah!" In order to avoid more trouble, Jinghua could only pretend to be single temporarily, and said in her heart: Husband, I'm sorry, let me be single for a while.

"That's great! No one knows how to appreciate such a beautiful woman like Ms. Jinghua. It's such a waste of talent!" Kogoro Mori was so excited that he almost jumped up. He seemed to think that as long as Jinghua was single, he would have a chance.

"What a coincidence! My mother is also one of them!... Uh, no, it was originally unappreciated, but now it is appreciated!"

"I'm talking to you, Xiaolan!"

"Dad, Sister Jinghua is here to look for someone, let's help her find the person first and get the photo back!"

"Yes...Yes! But the information provided by Ms. Jinghua is a little too little, only a name and a photo. Ms. Jinghua, didn't you have a yearbook at that time?"

"Yes, but he moved away later, and someone else was living at the address in the yearbook."

"Is that so... That's not going to be easy. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

"If Detective Maori feels embarrassed, can you ask Kudo Shinichi, who often comes to your office, to take a look?"

"Huh?" x3

The three of them looked shocked, with Conan being the most shocked.

I muttered to myself, "Could this woman be sent by the Black Organization to investigate the situation? But I don't sense the feeling of a member of the Black Organization on her? Strange, who is this woman?"

"Sister Jinghua, you may have misunderstood. Shinichi has been on leave from school for a long time because he has to handle a case. I don't know where he is now. Also, he doesn't often come in and out of our detective agency. Is there any misunderstanding?" Xiaolan explained patiently.

"Oh, I see. Sorry for the inconvenience, Detective Maori~"

"No...it's okay Ms. Jinghua."

Jinghua thought: Why does Heiji always go to see Kudo every time he comes to Tokyo? This brat!

"Alelei~", Conan's cute voice attracted the attention of the three people.

Chapter 300 Apartment Murder Case

"What's wrong, Conan, have you found anything?" Xiaolan asked.

"Look at the person in the photo. He is holding the championship trophy. So, he must be very good at kendo. Will he participate in some kendo competitions in the future?"

"Yes, we just need to call the organizer of the kendo competition and ask, and everything should be clear." After Conan's reminder, Kogoro Mouri suddenly realized.

Kogoro Mouri may not be very good at reasoning, but when it comes to finding people, he is very good as long as he has a clear direction.

Soon, after making several phone calls, Kogoro Mori finally found out about Shibata Shiro.

He said proudly, "Ms. Jinghua, your classmate has been found. He is a physical education teacher at Shizuoka High School in Shizuoka Prefecture. Since today is Sunday, he should be in a rented apartment now. I have obtained the detailed address."

"Detective Maori is indeed worthy of his reputation. Let's go there."

"Okay, no problem. I happen to have an Alpha, which is very comfortable to sit in. You can take a rest for a while."

Conan thought: What do you mean by yours? That's my uncle's car, okay? Bah! I just called it that, that's Murong Zhen's car!

In front of the car, Jinghua refused to sit in the passenger seat and sat behind the driver's seat;

Xiaolan sat in the passenger seat, and Conan sat in the seat behind the passenger seat.

Looking at this familiar car and familiar interior, memories of the past suddenly emerged. Yes, this car is exactly the same as the one Murong Zhen drove at that time, although they are two different cars.

Murong Zhen treated her, and she later treated Murong Zhen. The scenes appeared in her mind like a movie. It was a memory that she could not get rid of.

Pat your belly gently, this is the best gift left at that time!

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but smile, as if a hundred flowers were blooming, gorgeous and colorful.

Her smile was not a big deal, but when Kogoro Mouri saw this scene in the rearview mirror, he almost lost control of the steering wheel and nearly hit the car in the next lane.

"Dad, you were driving well, how could you be distracted?"

Seeing the sudden scene just now, Jinghua subconsciously put her hands in front of her stomach.

Conan and Xiaolan subconsciously protected their faces and heads.
