Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

After doing all this, she stood at the doorway, not moving an inch, but instead looked at the two pieces of charcoal with a mocking smile.

Conan, refusing to believe in superstition, endured his discomfort and was the first to rush in.

Inside the study, which was filled with loud music, Diplomat Tsujimura was lying on the table, seemingly asleep.

The familiar scene made the big black rat's heart skip a beat, and a bad feeling rose up.

picture!so similar!

Among the cases he handled, weren't there victims who appeared to be asleep, but were actually already buried?!

Damn it! I was too late!

Conan tentatively nudged the diplomat Tsujimura, but received no response. He then instinctively clenched his fist and punched him.

But given his current height and position, the punch landed squarely on Tsujimura, the diplomat.

“Uh oh!!!”

The sleeping pills Mrs. Tsujimura had given him were almost worn off, and now he had been fatally shot. Diplomat Tsujimura jumped up from his chair.

After covering his good friend and jumping around for a while, he angrily searched for the murderer.

"You bastard! You're the one who hit me, you brat?!"

He glanced around and only saw the big black rat nearby, so he slapped it across the face.

The slap landed squarely on the back of Conan's head, causing the struggling Conan to faint.

The diplomat, Tsujimura, was shocked, thinking he had used too much force and caused an accident.

After a chaotic scene, the sycophantic Hattori Heiji volunteered to take Conan to see a doctor.

……

"Xiao Luo, you really are my lucky star!"

On the way back, Kogoro Mouri's smile was even brighter than when he arrived.

Getting paid without doing any work? There's no such thing as a free lunch!

Because of the change in plans, Mrs. Tsujimura naturally stopped hiring a detective to investigate her own daughter.

He made up a random excuse and sent the group away.

Kogoro Mouri didn't think much of it, assuming that the big black rat's fatal chicken-beating of Tsujimura's diplomat had angered him.

However, since the commission fee was still the same, he didn't care about anything else.

At most, I'll double the number of the big black rat's exercise books when I get back.

"Dad, let's go back now!"

At a fork in the road, Xiaolan, holding the little boy's hand, waved goodbye to her elderly father.

Watching his daughter's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Kogoro Mouri, who had just been all smiles, suddenly became extremely melancholy.

"Alright, I've worked hard today. Let's have a good drink when I get home!"

He sighed and walked slowly toward the detective agency alone.

……

"Xiao Luo! What just happened?!"

As soon as she left her elderly father, Xiaolan couldn't wait to pick up the little boy and asked him curiously.

Even with her naive personality, she could sense that something was off at the Tsujimura residence earlier.

Especially after Mrs. Tsujimura took the little boy to the restroom and came back, she was almost a completely different person.

There must be some secret involved!

"It's nothing serious, it's just..."

Luo Tian didn't try to hide anything, and leaned close to the girl's ear to briefly explain the complicated situation of the Tsujimura family.

Mrs. Tsujimura's stepson's fiancée is her biological daughter, and the mother and daughter also have a blood feud with Tsujimura, the diplomat, for killing their father!

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan felt her brain freeze for a few seconds.

Even with her experience of frequently watching melodramatic soap operas during prime time, she was still speechless at this chaotic relationship.

"So, Miss Sachiko and her fiancé are not related by blood, but they can still get married?"

After thinking it over for a while, she finally came to this conclusion.

(That's good)

"I guess so"

Luo Tian neither confirmed nor denied this.

Given the blood feud between them, if his young daughter-in-law can still marry her fiancé normally, he has nothing more to say.

"Instead of this, Sister Xiaolan, let's hurry up and do something fun!"

"Something interesting?"

Seeing the little boy suddenly get excited, Xiaolan couldn't help but have impure thoughts again.

Am I really going to finally try out the little horse-drawn carriage game outside today?!

I'm a little nervous, but also a little excited. What should I do?!

"No time to explain, get in the car quickly!"

As Luo Tian spoke, he waved his short arms and flagged down a long line of taxis.

If you arrive too late, you'll miss the scene of the big black rat transforming in front of the Osaka black chicken!

He failed to notice that the girl's expression was a little off; otherwise, he would have put the matter aside for now and focused on developing new gameplay.

Chapter 128: Male on Male, the Most Exciting Episode (First Update)

　"Little Conan, you absolutely mustn't get hurt!"

On the taxi to the hospital, Hattori Heiji, holding Conan, was extremely anxious.

He had never been this anxious before, whether it was a dangerous case or his parents being sick.

That's what a "simp" is—the person they fawn over is more important than anything else.

"Driver! Could you please drive faster?"

Osaka Kuroki urged him for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

"I'm already driving really fast!"

"Then go even faster!"

"Going any faster would easily cause an accident!"

The taxi driver was also helpless. If it were any other passenger rushing him like that, he would have kicked them out of the car long ago.

He only endured it because of the deep bond between the two brothers.

It must be brotherly love... right?

Watching the driver carefully wipe the sweat from Xiao Heitan's forehead with a tissue, the driver suddenly felt a little uncertain.

This scene looks a bit like one of those pictures he accidentally saw online.

Speaking of which section, which forum did I see it in?

Just then, Conan regained some consciousness from his coma.

Based on his physical condition, he felt a familiar sensation!

A tearing and burning sensation like an explosion due to the non-conservation of mass!

Oh no! 203! The big one is coming!

Knowing he couldn't reveal his secret to others, the big black rat struggled to get up, only to find he couldn't muster any strength at all.

Left with no other choice, he could only turn to his newly acquired sycophant for help.

"Heiji...brother, don't take me to the hospital!"

Using his clumsy attempts at being cute, Conan managed to utter a sound.

"Huh? If not the hospital, where should we go?"

Hattori Heiji looked utterly bewildered, but reason told him that he should get the patient to the hospital as soon as possible.

But how much rationality can a simp have?

Soon, he lost himself in the constant calls of "Heiji-nii-chan" and, following Conan's suggestion, found a small hotel.

Whether it was the driver who dropped them off at the hotel or the hotel receptionist.

The way they looked at each other carried a strange glint in their eyes.

It's highly unusual for a grown man to check into a hotel room with a confused little boy, even in Mikasa.

……

"Xiao Luo, why did we come here?"

Led by the little boy, Xiao Lan arrived at the small hotel, and her pretty face instantly turned red.

It's obvious she's got the wrong idea again!

She doesn't mind playing games with the little boy somewhere outside.

However, she had read online that these small hotels often fail to meet hygiene standards and could also expose privacy risks.

If possible, she'd like to go somewhere else!

Fortunately, the little boy's next words relieved her, though she also felt a little regretful.

"Of course I'm here to see Conan!"

Luo Tian got the room numbers of Osaka Black Chicken and Big Black Mouse from the receptionist by acting cute.

Holding the girl's hand, he briefly explained the purpose of his trip.

"That black guy named Hattori Heiji, he was so attentive to Conan on our first meeting today, don't you find that strange, Ran-neechan?"

How could a strange man be so friendly to a little boy he had just met?

That man isn't a priest!

Under Luo Tian's deliberate guidance, Xiao Lan also developed some doubts.

That guy named Hattori Heiji is definitely suspicious!

"Xiao Luo, why are you so concerned about that annoying guy?"

"He is, after all, Aunt Yukiko's son. Of course, I can't just stand by and watch him be in danger!"

Luo Tian's words cleverly answered the girl's question.

Xiao Lan then remembered that the little boy's original purpose in coming to Beika Town was to visit his relatives.

However, due to a series of unexpected events, she ended up living in his house, and the two developed into the relationship they have now.

Yukiko did indeed send a sum of child support money very readily... although that money is still sitting in her bank account untouched (cieg).

Thinking about it this way, there's both a kinship relationship and the gratitude for the financial assistance.

It's perfectly normal for Luo Tian to care about Conan!

"Xiao Luo, you really are very kind."

Xiao Lan picked up the little boy and affectionately rubbed his bouncy cheeks.

"It's alright. If it were you, Xiaolan, you would probably do the same!"

After gently nudging him a few times, Luo Tian said with a smile.

"...Maybe."

The girl paused, then looked away somewhat guiltily.

The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at the room the receptionist had mentioned.

"Oh! It's already started!"
