Both sides had reservations, were not honest, and did not trust each other.
The reason they were able to be connected for a short time was entirely because of the bridge that was Conan Edogawa.
I thought I'd see these two exchanging barbs and going head-to-head.
Not interesting.
Yukiko has been keeping an eye on Ran.
I have a feeling that Xiaolan has changed a bit.
In the past, she would have been very helpful in making and serving tea, so that the hostess wouldn't have to be so busy entertaining so many guests.
But Xiao Lan was unusually quiet today.
She neither asked Conan about his past nor brought up any of the amusing incidents Conan had during her stay at her place.
On the contrary, Sonoko brought up embarrassing things about Conan.
She sighed inwardly.
Xiaolan still had some complaints about them.
She probably guessed who they were, but didn't know how to treat them, so she remained silent.
Sera Masumi also noticed that Ran was unusually quiet today, which was not normal.
Did they find out Conan's identity?
"Ran, won't you miss Conan since he won't be living at the agency anymore?"
As soon as Sera Masumi said those words, almost everyone's eyes turned to her and fell on Aozawa.
Qingze took a sip of black tea slowly, his eyes crinkling, his face displaying the usual gentleness of Ran Mouri.
"It feels a little strange, the house suddenly feels so quiet, but it's okay..."
Seeing that Ran Mouri showed no reluctance or disappointment, the group seemed lost in thought.
Although they haven't known each other for very long, Amuro Tooru knows Ran Mouri quite well.
Conan has lived in her house for so long, and she's been taking care of him, so their relationship can be considered quite deep.
Leaving suddenly will inevitably bring reluctance, a sense of loss, and a feeling of melancholy.
The fact that everything is so calm now means there's only one possibility: Ran Mouri took the initiative to suggest that Conan move out.
why?
Did they find out Conan's identity?
Kogoro Mouri was mainly worried that his daughter would be reluctant to part with that brat, but seeing that she looked calm, he was relieved.
But then he became a little annoyed.
That damn brat, he took so much advantage of her daughter!
He was itching to punch someone, but since the other person's parents were there, he couldn't bring himself to do it in front of them.
Chapter 156 Mr. Okiya probably doesn't have much of a chance of winning.
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo shared the same sentiment, both feeling a sense of regret.
It seems that Xiaolan has truly lost interest in her son.
Looking at Ran, Conan lowered his head in disappointment, while Yusaku Kudo patted his head.
When it comes to matters of the heart, parents can't interfere too much.
Previously, when the two were mutually in love, everyone was happy. Now that their own son is in love with someone else, there's nothing they can do.
He can only win back Xiaolan's heart through his own efforts; at most, they can only play a supporting role.
Subaru Okiya quietly sipped his black tea, then suddenly changed the subject to Aozawa.
He was still quite interested in Qingze, whom he had never met before.
"Miss Lan, I've recently started learning to fish, and I've heard that Mr. Qingze is an excellent fisherman. I wonder if you could introduce me to him..."
Qingze: "..."
You, Shuichi Akai, always bring up the very thing you don't want to talk about!
A suppressed laugh came through the earphones, and a vein bulged on Qingze's forehead.
He put on Ran Mouri's usual gentle, fake smile. "I'm afraid that won't work. Mr. Aozawa doesn't like fishing with others, and he doesn't like people with pink hair either..."
Subaru Okiya sensed that Ran Mouri in front of him had suddenly become very aggressive.
He touched his hair and asked, puzzled:
"why?"
"Because he thinks that people with pink hair are all hypocritical."
Okiya Subaru: "..."
His narrowed eyes seemed to want to open slightly.
Is Ran Mouri holding a grudge against him because he punched her last time?
But that shouldn't be the case; she shouldn't know that she is Shuichi Akai.
The atmosphere suddenly turned somewhat cold.
Yuanzi looked at Xiaolan, somewhat bewildered.
Would Ran say something so rude? Or was it directed at Mr. Okiya?
Even when repeating someone else's words, it shouldn't be this rude and embarrassing, right?
Sera Masumi was also surprised.
Did something happen without her knowing?
The remaining people accepted it well, and Amuro Tooru even took the initiative to speak up and echo Aozawa's words.
"Most men rarely dye their hair pink, a color that's usually considered subtly sexy. Mr. Okiya is quite unique..."
Although he confirmed that Subaru Okiya was not Shuichi Akai during his visit to the Kudo residence, his suspicions were not completely dispelled, and he also inexplicably disliked the man.
Seemingly sensing that something was amiss, the girl hurriedly waved her hand, her face showing embarrassment and panic.
"Mr. Okiya, please don't mind. I didn't mean to you. It's just that Mr. Aozawa really doesn't like interacting with strangers, and because of his past experiences, he also doesn't like people with pink hair..."
"Well then, that's a real shame." Subaru Okiya sighed, seemingly helpless.
He picked up his teacup and drank, lost in thought.
With such tight protection, the possibility that Qingze is Vermouth in disguise has increased.
"Who is this Aozawa?" Yukiko Kudo asked, feigning curiosity.
She had heard her son mention this formidable rival, someone who was truly a worthy opponent. It was a pity she hadn't seen him today.
"They're my friends."
"He's Ran's suitor!" Sonoko teased.
Qingze nudged her with his elbow, not even considering the occasion. Why bring up such things at a time like this?
Sonoko, oblivious to the displeasure of the person beside her, naturally took his arm and continued speaking with an all-knowing, mysterious air.
"He's such a handsome guy! If Mr. Okiya wants to pursue our Ran, he probably doesn't stand a chance."
Okiya Subaru: "..."
Qingze: "..."
Aozawa mentally gave Sonoko Suzuki a thumbs up.
It has to be you, Sonoko Suzuki.
They can relate everything to romance.
I could hear someone trying not to laugh through my headphones.
A low chuckle came through the headphones, making my ears tickle.
Subaru Okiya sighed, "You've got it wrong. I just wanted to learn how to fish."
"Is fishing difficult? Isn't it just about throwing bait into the water and waiting for the fish to bite?" Sera Masumi asked innocently.
Subaru Okiya pinched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly, "No fish are biting my hook..."
Qingze was delighted.
Looks like he's not the only one in the Air Force!
Sera Masumi scratched her head, "Did we put in too little bait, or are there few fish in the area?"
"I've scattered a lot of bait, which has attracted many fish, but none of them are biting, so I wanted to ask someone skilled for advice..."
Qingze continued eating.
Should I ask him this kind of question?
He doesn't know either?
He initially tried baiting the area, but stopped after realizing it was completely useless.
"Does Mr. Amuro usually go fishing?" Sonoko asked, looking at Amuro Tooru.
If they're fishing too, maybe we can organize a get-together and invite them out.
Three handsome guys! They're a real treat for the eyes!
Amuro Tooru shook his head, "I'm not very good at fishing..."
As a very busy person, how could he have time to leisurely go fishing?
"What a pity..."
The garden is lost.
The handsome guy's fishing plan has fallen through.
While chatting, the deliveryman drove up and delivered the food.
The three people got out of the car and neatly arranged the large table of dishes that Kudo Yusaku had ordered on the dining table.
Before the three people had even stepped out the door, one of the deliverymen clutched his chest and suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Qingze, who witnessed all of this: "..."
Is it really okay for someone to suddenly die when you're about to eat?
If you're going to die, then die, but don't let it affect his meal.
Despite feeling extremely frustrated, Ran Mouri couldn't help but show a fearful and nervous expression on her face.
Sonoko Suzuki, who was standing nearby, grabbed his arm in fear.
Watching the crowd methodically begin calling the police and ambulances, Qingze let out a long sigh.
We won't be able to have dinner this time.
With so many detectives around, it's unlikely that the death was accidental.
Ran Mouri's character wouldn't allow her to feel at ease asking for a meal under such circumstances.
Police cars roared in, and the once quiet villa was suddenly surrounded by layers of people.
Qingze had no interest in watching detectives solve cases; he just wanted to eat.
"Aunt Wendai, it seems we won't be able to have dinner. Sonoko and I will take our leave now."
"Would you like me to give you a ride?"
"no need."
Qingze refused her offer and left with Yuanzi.
Sonoko watched Ran walk in another direction from the office, puzzled.
Where are we going?
