Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

"Unfortunately, I was too far away at the time. I only saw him pick you up, but I didn't see what happened..."

Amuro Tooru sighed and asked again:

"Didn't Mr. Qingze come today?"

He said he was too busy lately and couldn't find the time to come and watch my performance.

As she spoke, Ran Mouri's eyes darkened, and she put down the half-eaten takoyaki in her hand, looking visibly dejected.

"That's such a pity..."

"Yes, it's rare to see someone dressed up so carefully."

Does he know you sprained your ankle?

Amuro Tooru's question seemed to be asked casually.

Hearing this, Ran Mouri puffed out her cheeks, looking somewhat angry.

"I told him, and he just told me to take good care of myself, and that was it. It's infuriating!"

"Ran Mouri" rubbed her hands together, took a big bite of the takoyaki, and looked like she wasn't going to let someone off the hook.

"It's one thing to not come to my performance, but to treat me like this is another. I'll teach him a lesson next time I see him!"

Amuro Tooru seemed lost in thought.

Didn't Koniak call Ran Mouri?

Who was the person he talked to on the phone for six minutes?

It's a pity I didn't get a chance to look at the call logs, otherwise I would have definitely followed this lead and dug deeper.

Conan sensed something was off about the conversation.

Why are Xiaolan and Qingze so affectionate?

Xiaolan wouldn't casually say things like "I'll teach him a lesson" to someone; she would only say that to people she was very close to.

Amuro Tooru frowned, his voice laced with reproach, "How could you be so perfunctory? You could at least have called to check on her, this is so disrespectful to your girlfriend..."

Upon hearing this, Conan's heart sank into an ice cave, and he felt as if his hands and feet had lost all warmth.

Are Xiaolan and Qingze... together?

He turned his head with difficulty to look at Xiaolan, trying to get confirmation.

Ran Mouri gave an awkward but polite smile and shook her head. "Mr. Amuro, you've misunderstood. I wasn't with him..."

Amuro Tooru looked surprised. "Huh? Last time you two were at the ocean park, I thought you were already together."

The girl tilted her head to look at him. "No, I just went out to play. It's normal to go out with friends, right?"

"Then it seems I misunderstood..." Amuro Tooru scratched his head awkwardly, lost in thought.

Could it be that Koniak hasn't caught up with Ran Mouri yet?

Or are they in a secret relationship and don't intend to make it public?

Conan's body temperature finally returned to normal after Ran denied it.

He felt his still somewhat cold fingers, looked up at Xiaolan, and wanted to ask: Do you like him?

But the question was never asked.

The answer is already obvious.

If you don't like someone, why would you care whether they come or not, and even get angry about it?

Did he confess his feelings to you?

Amuro Tooru switched to a gossipy expression, trying to get more information about Koniak from Ran Mori.

The girl looked helpless and somewhat troubled. "Mr. Amuro, why are you gossiping too?"

"Gossiping is human nature, and I'm really curious."

"Okay, I understand that detectives have an insatiable thirst for knowledge."

The girl put down the takoyaki in her hand, her bright eyes and white teeth flashing as she smiled charmingly, "But I'm not planning on dating yet. I always feel like I don't know him well enough."

Amuro Tooru couldn't figure out if they were actually dating, but the statement "we don't know enough" probably came from Ran Mouri's heart.

No matter how well Qingze can disguise himself, he is still Koniak.

The killers in the shadows are ultimately different from normal people, which is why Ran Mouri feels that she doesn't understand them well enough.

"If you want to date, you really need to get to know each other better."

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to tarnish Qingze's image and label him a "scumbag" so that Ran Mouri would gradually distance herself from him.

But since they're not together yet, it's not appropriate to do that; his overreaction would only arouse suspicion and resentment.

When Ran tells Koniak what he said, he can prepare to say goodbye to this world.

"If Miss Lan has any relationship problems, feel free to ask me for advice. Although I'm single now, I was quite popular back in my student days~"

As he spoke, Amuro Tooru brushed his hair back and revealed an extremely confident smile.

He certainly had reason to be confident, because his coffee shop attracted many more female customers.

Seeing him like this, Qingze's lips twitched inwardly, and he desperately wanted to roll his eyes.

Amuro Tooru's student days must have been more than a decade ago, right?

Black skin, golden fur.

Are you sure this popularity isn't the opposite?

It's quite ingenious that the Japanese Public Security Bureau would send someone with such distinctive features to be an undercover agent.

Judy stood in the corridor, leaning against the wall of the infirmary, listening to the idle chatter of the people inside, her thoughts wandering.

Has Ran stopped liking Shinichi Kudo?

Feelings really do fade easily...

But some people's feelings are as steadfast as a rock, leaving her unsure of where to begin.

……

Chapter 292 Love, Truly a Good Medicine

Ran Mouri walked to the parking lot, spent some time circling around it, and finally found Aozawa's motorcycle.

Just as I straddled the motorcycle, a middle-aged man walked over, looking at it with amazement.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Vyrus's motorcycle, right?"

Ran Mouri was completely bewildered.

What kind of motorcycle?

Is this motorcycle special?

She felt that this motorcycle was not much different from the others. Among Qingze's group of cool and stylish motorcycles, this one was relatively low-key in terms of design.

"I don't know, it was a gift from a friend."

She gave a casual reply, inserted the car key, pushed the motorcycle out, and didn't intend to pay any more attention to the person who had spoken to her.

She didn't know anything about motorcycles and had no idea how to respond.

The man didn't care whether he replied or not; he just admired the motorcycle and kept clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Vyrus' motorcycles are all custom-made; each one is unique. The friend who gave you the bike must be very rich..."

Ran Mouri glanced at the motorcycle enthusiast with a blank expression.

I started the car and drove off.

As he watched his figure disappear from sight, a faint smile appeared on the man's face.

"Your mental state is normal, much better than before..."

"Love is truly a great medicine."

……

He was unaware that someone had recognized him in disguise and was "assessing" his mental state.

After finishing all the food, Qingze's mood visibly improved.

He leaned on his crutches, preparing to leave the infirmary.

"I'm going home now, Conan, you guys keep playing."

"I'll take you back; it won't be very convenient for you to go back on crutches," Amuro said.

"No need to trouble Mr. Amuro, I need to practice how to walk with my cane. I'll have to wear it for the next few days."

“I’ll go back with you; we’re going the same way.” Bai Yu reached out and picked up the clothes and wig beside her.

"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Baiyu."

"Sister Xiaolan, I'll go back with you too."

Qingze patted the top of his head, and after confirming that the little detective had washed his hair last night, he reached out and rubbed it.

"No need for that, we're not going that way anyway. Conan, you have fun."

As Qingze stepped out of the infirmary, he saw Judy standing outside the door.

He didn't ask Judy why she was there, he just smiled at her:

"Goodbye, Ms. Judy. Come visit me sometime."

After saying that, he leaned on his cane and walked away with Bai Yu, his steps faltering.

Amuro Tooru gave the FBI agent a cold look, then turned and left.

He has nothing to say to the FBI.

Conan watched Amuro Tooru leave with a sense of helplessness. The conflict between Mr. Amuro and the FBI was getting bigger and bigger.

"Ms. Judy, I'm a little worried about Xiaolan."

The appearance of this white jade was somewhat coincidental, and he did not completely dispel his suspicions about it.

He planned to follow her until he was sure Xiaolan had returned home.

"Then let's go."

Aozawa sent a text message to Sonoko Suzuki, then walked out of the school.

After walking for a while, Qingze started using his cane as well.

The speed was not much different from normal walking.

He was holding his wooden cane when a sudden thought struck him: "I think this cane would be perfect to be turned into a gun."

Bai Yu instantly understood what he meant.

"Similar to one of those umbrella pistols?"

Qingze shook his head and dismissed his plan.

"But it's not very meaningful."

He didn't intend to use Ran Mouri's body to kill someone, and Ran Mouri herself was even less likely to do so.

Instead of turning it into a gun, it would be better to turn it into a stun gun, at least you could carry it openly.

Qingze skipped over that topic, asking, "How are you finding your accommodation? Are you settling in?"

"It's great, I feel very comfortable."

"There's a bookstore downstairs; you can go and browse when you have time. Since this is a new life, don't dwell on the past. You can think carefully about how you want to live your future..."

"I'm planning to try my hand at creative writing..."

"Are you really going to write it?"

"Mmm. So, can you tell me about your love story with Qingze...?"

Bai Yu stared at her with wide eyes, her gaze filled with curiosity and gossip.
