The atmosphere became more romantic.

Xiaolan was bathed in the beam of light, and the cute chair corner above her head was trembling slightly in the wind, like a unicorn abandoned by her owner.

This reminded Chen Nuo of the first time he met Xiaolan in the art museum, which seemed to be a similar scene.

So much time has passed unknowingly, and during this period of time, things happened that Chen Nuo had never experienced in his previous life.

He became a member of the organization trusted by Gin, secretly rescued Miyano Shiho, solved many cases, and inexplicably became the subject of Sato Miwako's investigation and Suzuki Sonoko's temporary boyfriend...

But there are also some things that haven't changed, such as the relationship between him and Xiaolan--

Perhaps influenced by the romantic atmosphere, Chen Nuo took a deep breath, turned around and locked the bronze door.

"Chen, Chen Nuo--" Xiaolan was suddenly panicked when she saw Chen Nuo's behavior.

"Don't talk for now, I have something very important to tell you." Chen Nuo interrupted Xiaolan in a very serious tone.

Xiaolan held the hem of her skirt tightly with her hands. Her heart was beating so fast that her fair cheeks had already turned slightly red.

Although Xiaolan knew rationally that she should leave here immediately, even if she had to be tough, otherwise something irreversible might happen.

But Chen Nuo's burning gaze trapped her in the circle of light under her feet like a spell, and she was unable to take a step forward.

It wasn't necessarily what she thought.

It would be very hurtful to leave Chen Nuo at this time, right?

Just refuse with determination.

Reasonable explanations that could keep her here kept flashing through Xiaolan's mind.

LL

Chen Nuo's deep voice failed to destroy Xiaolan's newly built psychological defenses.

But it aroused a hint of anticipation for what was about to happen that she had been suppressing in her heart and didn't want to admit.

Chapter 84: The confession was successful, but something seemed wrong

When Chen Nuo "confessed" to Xiaolan, Conan also found the flaws of the target suspect he was tracking down, and the case should be solved soon.

Everyone has a bright future.

Relying on his status as a child, Conan used hide-and-seek as an excuse to sneak into the hotel kitchen and investigate for a long time.

Although discovered by staff several times.

But the identity of the child who can appear here today is definitely not something these ordinary employees can afford to offend.

So instead of scolding Conan, they also gave him a lot of delicious food.

With this convenient condition, Conan quickly found the woman who was not right.

Unfortunately, he had not yet discovered the other party's method of killing, so he had to follow her all the way, hoping to stop her at the critical moment of her crime.

After following for a long time, when Suzuki Shiro and his group came out, the waitress was assigned to help serve a new round of champagne to the guests. Conan also followed them back to the banquet hall.

Then he found that Xiaolan and Chen Nuo had disappeared.

Damn it! My house was robbed!!

Conan broke out in a cold sweat.

Because just now during the investigation, Conan happened to meet a few couples who fell in love at the dance party.

They ran to a secluded corner outside the banquet hall, hugged each other and talked affectionately.

The image immediately emerged in Conan's mind of that bastard Chen Nuo holding Xiao Lan in his arms and having a friendly conversation with her.

impossible! !

Conan then rejected this speculation.

Although he was very sure that Xiaolan would not do anything to let him down, Conan's face still turned a little green.

He quickly scanned the crowd but did not see Suzuki Sonoko.

Could it be that Xiaolan and Sonoko left together?

Conan felt like a piece was missing in his heart, as if the most precious thing was slipping away from him, and he had no intention of investigating the case anymore.

"Are you looking for Brother Chen Nuo and the others?" A sweet voice like a doll came from behind Conan.

Conan turned around and saw the eldest daughter of the Tie Group.

Conan spoke faster than usual: "Do you know where he went? Listen - this beautiful big sister.

Tie Zhuyu chuckled and nodded: "Let's go catch fireflies."

"Catching fireflies?"

"They said the fireflies here are really big, so I wanted to try catching some." Tetsu Moroha lied seriously, "Miss Sonoko went there too."

After Conan heard that Sonoko had also gone there, he felt a little relieved, but he still felt uneasy if he didn't see it with his own eyes.

But at this time, Uncle Maori was not there, so he could not tell him about the possible crime. If he left like this, the murderer could commit a crime at any time. Without an adult around, people here would not believe what he said.

hateful!

Xiaolan is such a troublemaker.

Just as Conan took out his cell phone and was about to call Xiaolan and Sonoko back, a shrill scream suddenly rang out.

The entire first floor hall fell silent in an instant.

The melodious music was still playing, and everyone's eyes were gathered in the corner.

A middle-aged man in a white suit was lying on the ground, struggling with a painful expression.

After a few seconds of silence.

Loud and shrill screams broke out in the hall.

Conan was the first to run to the crime scene and found that the man the waitress had been observing repeatedly was lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and his body twitching violently.

"Call a doctor, call a doctor quickly." someone shouted.

The staff on the scene immediately secured the scene and provided first aid to the guest who fell to the ground.

Two minutes later, the hotel's medical staff ran over, put their hands on the motionless man in the suit's artery, then stood up and shook his head at Suzuki Shiro: "It's too late."

The guests present were all dumbfounded; no one had expected such a thing to happen.

Shiro Suzuki's face looked extremely ugly. It was not that the death of this powerful man in the political circle would bring harm to the Suzuki Group.

The main reason is that this incident happened at this point in time, which is too unlucky. It feels like it has cast a thick shadow on this project of cooperation among several major families.

Conan squatted in front of the corpse, carefully looking for clues around it, his face full of shock.

When did the waitress commit the murder?

Ever since he discovered that there was something wrong with the other party, Conan had been staring at the woman. Conan was very sure that she had never been close to the area where the deceased was, and there was no chance for her to poison him.

If it was before he found out...

Whether it was tableware or food, they had already been replaced several times. If she was going to die, she would have died long ago. And if she poisoned the food prepared in the kitchen, how could she be sure that the other party would eat that food?

For Conan, this act of killing someone in front of him was no less important than Chen Nuo sticking his tongue into Xiaolan's mouth in front of him.

The disgusting feeling made Conan tremble all over.

At the same time, the soul of reasoning in his heart also began to burn fiercely.

We must find this murderer!

Conan focused all his attention on the corpse and habitually forgot about Xiaolan.

"Aren't you going to find them?" Tie Zhuyu's voice came from behind.

Conan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Xiaolan and Chen Nuo were catching fireflies.

But·

Conan looked at the dead man lying on the ground with his features twisted into a ball, and then secretly observed the waitress who was hiding behind the crowd with a sneer on her face.

"Is Sister Sonoko with them too?" Conan hesitated for a long time before asking this question.

Although Tie Zhuyu was a little curious about why the little boy cared about whether Yuanzi was present or not, he still patiently "explained" to him: "Yes, there is a flower garden behind the hotel————"

Tie Zhuyu perfectly wove a story about Chen Nuo and Yuanzi catching fireflies together. She didn't want this kid to mess up. After all, in front of a child, even if she was angry, she would try to control her emotions, right?

After listening to this, Conan fell into deep thought.

I feel like nothing should happen with Yuanzi around, right?

Conan still trusts his comrade Sonoko more. After all, she almost lost her life in trying to stop Chen Nuo, so there is no way she would allow Chen Nuo to do anything to Xiaolan.

Moreover, Conan also has strong confidence in Xiaolan herself. After all, they grew up together. He has made Xiaolan angry many times before, or left her behind to investigate cases.

Although Xiaolan would be angry for a day or two, it would never last too long.

If his body wasn't unable to grow bigger,

The ban on “not mentioning Kudo Shinichi’s name for a month” will probably be lifted within a week.

Also, since Xiaolan is angry because of his distrustful behavior, it means that Xiaolan still cares about him a little.

Given Xiaolan's personality, it is impossible for her to do anything too outrageous in this state.

It would be better to find the murderer first. The thought that the woman could poison someone under his surveillance made him feel very uncomfortable.

Conan felt uncomfortable all over, as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

However, even though he had made up his mind, Conan's mind would occasionally pop up the past investigation.

The scene of the man and woman hugging and kissing passionately.

Probably not...

"The people from the Metropolitan Police Department are here." The hotel staff shouted loudly, and then Officer Megure led his men into the scene and immediately launched an investigation.

This little episode brought Conan's thoughts back to the case, allowing him to focus on solving it.

Impossible! Xiaolan would never do anything to let me down. She said she would wait for me to come back.

Conan's mind flashed with Xiaolan's clean and sweet smile.

"No, Chen Nuo, Jun--" Xiaolan's voice was intermittent, and her little face without makeup was already red.

"I'm sorry, I'll be gentler then."

Chen Nuo's forehead was also covered with sweat. The soft music was still playing, but his ears were filled with Mao Lilan's increasingly heavy breathing.

"No - that's not what I meant -." Xiaolan said in a trembling voice, "Can you let me go first?"

The two were standing on the edge of the terrace at this time. Xiaolan's back was against the railing. Chen Nuo's hands grasped her fair and delicate shoulders, and his fingers were deeply embedded in her soft skin.

"I won't let you go unless you agree." Chen Nuo's rogue attitude made Xiaolan feel helpless.

The petals floating in the air give off a pleasant aroma, the dazzling lights give people the illusion of being the center of attention, and the specially designed sound system guides guests to immerse themselves in the romantic atmosphere of love confession.

In this environment, Xiaolan's psychological defenses were weakened to a very low level, and her karate skills could not be fully utilized at all.

In this situation, Chen Nuo formally confessed his love to Xiaolan for more than five minutes.

The reason why he could talk for so long was actually thanks to Haibara Ai.

Part of the confession lines that Chen Nuo just said was the result of Haibara Ai's previous special training.

When Gin first asked Chen Nuo to carry out the task of approaching Mouri Ran, Huihara Yuan did not quite trust Chen Nuo's ability, so she specifically targeted Mouri Ran's life trajectory and created a lot of targeted words and ways to please her.

But then one day, Haibara Ai suddenly took away all the information and destroyed it.

I also warned him to use less of this thing in the future as it was harmful to the body and that was enough.

This made Chen Nuo a little confused.

Although the information was taken away, Chen Nuo still remembered a lot of content, including what words to say when confessing love in order to touch Xiaolan's heart more.

As for the rest, it all depends on your performance on the spot.

Fortunately, this terrace is specially prepared to witness romantic love. It has a strong atmosphere. Even if two people who have no feelings for each other come here, they can probably say a few romantic words.

Mao Lilan's reaction, which was mixed with panic and expectation, further stimulated Chen Nuo's performance.

The effect is also obvious.
