How can you let others handle things like dating?

Seeing this, Maori Kogoro reached out and rubbed Conan's hair, sighing helplessly:

"Ran, Shinichi has been here before, but this incident was too big, and he discovered bombs elsewhere, so he rushed over."

"I see. I thought Shinichi had forgotten. I'll call him tonight and ask him."

Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed Bai Mu and the others, and greeted them with a smile:

"Mr. Bai, Miki, Suzu, are you guys here to play too? Is everyone okay?"

"We are all fine. Xiaolan, you...ah..."

Miki actually wanted to ask, have you really not discovered Conan’s true identity?

But after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't say it out loud.

Even if this kind of thing really needs to be said, it shouldn't be said by an outsider like me.

But Conan has so many flaws, he doesn’t look like an ordinary elementary school student at all.

"What's wrong? Miki, it feels like you have something to say to me."

"Hehe...nothing. I was just wondering if you've reached curfew already?"

"Huh...!? My phone seems to be broken. It hasn't been working since a while ago. What time is it now?"

"9:24."

Bai Mu took out his cell phone and took a look.

"Oh no! Mom told me to be home before 9pm every night, and she must be worried now because she can't get through on the phone."

Seeing this, Maori Kogoro hurriedly said:

"Xiaolan, don't worry, I drove here, I'll take you home."

"Huh...? Dad rented a car again?"

"No, Yusaku gave me a large amount of child support before, and I used it to buy a car directly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Maori Kogoro realized that he had said something without thinking, and quickly made amends:

"In fact, this kid is the youngest son born to Yusaku and Chiya abroad, and he is also Kudo Shinichi's biological brother."

"It's just that they are both too busy with work, and that brat Shinichi is running around everywhere, so they left him to me to raise."

“Eh…!? Really?”

Mao Lilan subconsciously looked at Conan, her eyes full of surprise:

"Conan, that's not what you said before."

Conan looked dazed and couldn't recover for a long time.

Uncle, even if you accidentally say something wrong, you don't have to blow yourself up, right?

Although it is hard to explain why your father has to give you so much child support, it is too subtle to talk about your younger brother.

If that's the case, then I'm clearly my father and mother's son, so why do I have a different surname from them? There's no way to explain this.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan, I didn't mean to hide it."

"It's just, because..."

Why do I have a different surname from my parents?

Got it!

"Alas...my mother's sister's husband is infertile, and their life is very monotonous, so I was adopted by my uncle.

But not long after the adoption, my uncle and aunt were in a car accident and both died.

My mother has been very sad, but she had already adopted me out, and it was not easy for her to change back to her original surname.

I haven't told anyone about this. No matter who asks, I just say I'm a distant relative of Shinichi. Sister Xiaolan, please keep it a secret for me and don't tell anyone.

Huh...? Such a complicated family relationship! It turns out there's so much going on in Shin's family, and I've never heard him talk about it.

"I'm sorry, Conan, I shouldn't have asked."

"No, it's okay. I believe you won't say anything nonsense."

"Well, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Conan subconsciously sensed Mouri Ran's mood and found that she was three parts believing, three parts doubting, two parts confused, and two parts sad.

Is there only a third of a doubt? Isn't Xiaolan too trusting?

"Oh right, Dad, everyone's car has been affected to some extent by the electromagnetic pulse and can't start. Can your car start?"

“Ah…?” Kogoro Mouri was stunned for a moment.

I forgot it, completely forgot it.

Damn electromagnetic pulse. Fortunately, I bought a fuel car, so the impact should not be too big.

If we switch to new energy electric vehicles, we’re doomed.

Seeing this, Bai Mu smiled and said:

"Let's go, I'll take you back."

"??"

Under the puzzled gazes of Maori Kogoro and the other two, Bai Mu brought a few people to a deserted alley on the side of the street.

He let Miki and the others hold hands, then he held Tifa's hand with one hand and put the other hand on Kogoro Mouri's shoulder.

With Bai Lan's operation behind him, the space changed and everyone arrived at the Fujimine residence in an instant.

"This place is not affected and there is still signal. I'll have someone drive you back."

"what……!!"

"what happened?"

Mao Lilan looked around blankly, unable to recover for a long time.

"Mr. Bai, is this... teleportation?"

"No, it's just a fixed-point teleportation. Since I haven't been to Kisaki Eri's house, I didn't leave a location, otherwise I would have sent you there directly."

"Superpowers actually exist!?"

"Please keep it a secret for me."

"Hmm..." Mao Lilan nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of curiosity, but she knew what to do and didn't ask any further questions.

Bai Mu thought for a moment, then turned to look at Conan:

"I've saved the location of the Maori Detective Agency. Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"Then trouble you."

Since he had just acquired super powers, Conan was not too surprised by this.

But suddenly I realized that it was no wonder that he said his ability was useless just now.

Compared to this ability of teleportation, my own ability is really of little use.

"Tifa, take Akemi and Shiho home for a cup of tea first. I'll be back soon. By the way, tell Yukiko to arrange a female driver to take Xiaolan home."

"no problem."

The next moment, Baimu brought Kogoro Mouri and Conan to the Mouri office in an instant.

Looking at the familiar scenery around him, Kogoro Maori couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, he is not an enemy.

"Conan, no, Shinichi."

"What's wrong? Brother Bai." Conan was surprised when his name was suddenly called.

"I really don't understand why you're so unwilling to reveal your true identity to Xiaolan. Are you afraid she'll be in danger? This is just a lame excuse no matter how you look at it."

"I……"

Conan hesitated for two seconds before speaking:

"That's just one aspect. I don't know how long my health will last, and I really don't want her to keep waiting."

"To be honest, I'm very scared. I'm afraid she'll fall in love with someone else, but I'm also afraid she'll keep waiting for me and delay her own life."

"Uncle said before that Xiaolan could wait for me until I graduate from college."

"But the goal I set for myself in my heart is three years. If after three years, I am still Conan, I think it will be difficult for me to turn back into Kudo Shinichi in the future."

"Then, I'll hold a funeral for Kudo Shinichi and let Xiaolan completely forget me."

"Is ten years a big difference?" Bai Mu couldn't help but ask, "Ten years later, you'll be a high school student, and she'll be under 30. What's the big difference?"

"No! Such thoughts are too selfish, and ten years is too long."

"Long? Fusa-e has been waiting for Dr. Agasa for forty years."

"Yes, but if I were Dr. Agasa, I would hope that she could fall in love, get married, and have children in her twenties. Even if the person is not me, it doesn't matter. I think Dr. Agasa would have the same idea."

"So, do you think Fusa-e prefers her current life with Professor Agasa, or the other future you mentioned?"

"... "

Conan remained silent for a long time, then shook his head slightly:

"I don't know, but whether you call me selfish or stupid, if Xiaolan is happier with someone else, I will definitely cry in my heart and wish her well with a smile."

"Totally incomprehensible."

Bai Mu sighed lightly and said in a deep voice:

"If I like a girl and she doesn't like me at all, or even hates me, after my confession fails, I will definitely not look at her again."

"On the other hand, if a girl likes me, even if I don't like her very much, as long as she's not annoying, I will seriously consider it."

"If two girls like each other, it's absolutely impossible to let go. No matter time, death, or even the gods in heaven, they can't separate us."

After saying this, Bai Mu left Maori's office without looking back.

In the office where only two people were left, Conan couldn't help but laugh.

"Uncle, what about you?"

"I think I have the same idea as you, but I envy his greed."

"Yeah, haha... He's such a strange person. But, he's not a bad person."

"But he's not a good person either." Kogoro Mouri added in a deep voice.

"makes sense."

Chapter 174: Because He Was Too Ugly, He Was Afraid of Me

"Finally found the signal. Vermouth is really amazing. They even developed electromagnetic pulse weapons."

Following Gin, they finally reached a place with signal. Vodka called one of his peripheral members and asked him to drive over to pick them up.

Then, holding the phone, I couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing that Gin didn't react, he asked again:

"Brother, where are we going next?"

"On mission."

"Huh...? It's only the beginning of the month, right?"

After following Gin for many years, Vodkat understands that he will take the initiative to take on difficult tasks that no one else has taken up, and complete them as quickly as possible.

In the middle of each month, he would choose to do the difficult tasks that were left over.

But judging from the casual chats in the group, few code-named members do this. Many of them are hands-off and are only responsible for giving orders.

It’s better to say that even though everyone has worked hard to become a code member, few people will continue to carry out the mission.

Anyway, I have so many people under me, it’s not impossible to force them to share the responsibility.
