Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

Chapter 310 What am I so nervous about?

Ran Mouri has a good ability to recover; her sprained ankle wasn't as serious as the school doctor had said.

After a few days of rest, although there was still some pain, I was able to walk without crutches.

It means you can't run or jump.

"You bought so much stuff and didn't even ask me to pick you up..."

"It's alright, it's not heavy..."

Qingze selected the vegetables, went to the kitchen, and tied on an apron.

"I've learned a few new dishes, let me make them for you to try..."

Have you been learning Chinese cooking lately?

Eri Kisaki felt that her daughter's tastes were a little different from before. She stopped making some of the dishes she used to make often and especially liked Chinese food.

Qingze, who was putting food into the refrigerator, turned his head and gave her a smile.

"Mmm! It's delicious, isn't it?"

Eri Kisaki was stunned for a moment when she saw her daughter's smile.

Is your mood improving?

"But it's too troublesome to make..."

It's so troublesome to wash, chop, stir-fry, and cook over high heat.

"No, cooking is something to enjoy."

In particular, you can enjoy a sumptuous and delicious meal after it's finished.

"Xiaolan, you seem to be in a better mood."

Is it obvious?

“Of course it’s obvious.” Eri Kisaki smiled as she washed the vegetables and chatted with her daughter.

"Did you see the person you wanted to see?"

Qingze paused strangely as he cut the meat, then grunted and said with a hint of helplessness:

"You really can't hide anything from Mom."

This sixth sense is just too accurate!

"Did you have a fight with him before?" Eri asked her daughter curiously.

How to describe Xiaolan's condition these past few days?

A sense of gloom and annoyance hung over his brow. He was somewhat silent and didn't watch TV with them. After dinner, he used doing homework as an excuse to go back to his room.

She thought at the time that she was worried about Shinichi Kudo, but now it seems that's not the case.

The person who is worried is someone else.

Ran Mouri said helplessly, "Mom, you're making it sound like I'm in love..."

Eri Kisaki feigned surprise, "Oh, you didn't have that?"

Having received the keyword, Kogoro Mouri clung to the wall and poked his gloomy head into the kitchen.

Qingze saw it and was speechless.

Did Kogoro Mouri think he wouldn't notice him eavesdropping here?

"I'm not in a relationship..."

"Then tell me, what have you been angry about these past two days?"

Ran Mouri sighed heavily, and finally, under her parents' watchful eyes, she revealed the reason for her bad mood over the past few days.

"I'm angry that he doesn't take care of himself and makes such a mess of himself..."

"How to say?"

Qingze wiped his hands on his apron, took out his phone, opened a photo, and handed it over.

In the photo, a somewhat disheveled "Qingze" is huddled in the back seat of the car, with tear stains remaining on his cheeks. His eyes are closed, but you can still see his red eyes and swelling.

Eri looked on in astonishment.

Why are you crying like this?

Although Xiaolan said that Qingze was fragile and prone to crying, she didn't really have a concept of just how much he cried.

How long have you been crying like this?

Kogoro Mouri moved closer to Eri Kisaki, frowning as he looked at Aozawa in the photo.

What's wrong with him?

He didn't miss the blood-soaked hand resting on his chest in the photo.

What happened?

"He was reminded of some things from the past..."

Kogoro Mouri seemed to be deep in thought.

Has she regained some memories?

What kind of painful memory could make a grown man cry like this?

Could it be that he was thinking of his parents?

"He's locked himself up for the past few days, refusing to eat or drink, cutting off all contact with the outside world. I'm so worried..."

Qingze took the phone and put it back in his pocket, revealing a slight smile.

"But I'm all better now. I've moved on after crying it out."

Eri Kisaki had heard about Aozawa from her husband, and upon hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good." After thinking for a moment, she said, "He lives alone, right? Should we invite him over for dinner tonight?"

She didn't mean anything by it; she simply wanted to show concern for the child who loved her daughter out of simple kindness.

Aozawa looked at Kogoro Mouri, who pursed his lips but didn't object.

I'll ask him later.

After finishing his meal, Qingze sent the message to Ran Mouri about Eri inviting him over for dinner. He then placed his phone on his desk and fell into deep thought.

Rum has shown up. How can we kill him and shift the blame to someone else...?

Seeing that Ran Mouri hadn't replied to his message, Qingze sent a message to Baiyu.

Don't go into the Iroha sushi restaurant; Rum is there disguised.

Bai Yu was startled upon receiving the message.

Why is Rum there?

Were they here for Xiaolan?

She had an urge to rush over and kill Rum. She took two deep breaths to calm herself down.

If Rum were so easy to kill, he would have died long ago.

Rum is a cautious man, and his keenness and insight surpass even Gin's.

Although his physical abilities are not as good as Gin's due to his age, it doesn't mean he's weak.

The fact that he can appear here alone means he must have absolute confidence and strength.

Once he senses your murderous intent, it will be difficult to find him again.

Whether to conceal her identity or her purpose, she cannot meet with Rum.

[Is this targeting you?]

"Hmm. Don't worry, he won't attack me casually."

If the real Ran Mouri were here, Aozawa would be a little worried, but he's not the real Ran Mouri.

If Rum were to make a move against him, he would actually be quite happy about it.

……

Ran Mouri is making a disguise mask.

She was making the face of her current body. She would look in the mirror from time to time, then sculpt the material. As she worked, she inexplicably burst out laughing.

"Thankfully, they didn't make the mask with swollen eyes too."

After confirming that all the details on her face were in place and her facial features were defined, she took out her makeup tools and carefully applied her makeup.

When you're engrossed in something, you often don't notice the passage of time.

When Ran Mouri looked up again, it was already close to dusk.

Looking at the golden sunset shining obliquely through the window, Ran Mouri felt somewhat lost.

"Why is it already this early?"

She stretched, loosening her slightly stiff body.

Fortunately, they swapped bodies; otherwise, at this rate, she wouldn't have had time to practice and make disguise masks.

Although the first one took a long time, the speed should improve with more practice.

Looking at the finished product in front of her, Ran Mouri was in an exceptionally good mood. She picked up her phone from the table next to her, ready to send it to Aozawa.

As soon as I unlocked my phone, several messages popped up, some from Qingze and some from Baiyu.

After replying to Bai Yu's message, she carefully read the message sent by Qing Ze.

"Going to the firm for lunch?"

She suddenly became nervous.

Should I go? If I do go, what should I say?

Should I change my clothes? Are my eyes okay with this swelling?

Should we bring something over?

Ran Mouri wandered around the room aimlessly, and after circling twice, she reached up and touched her forehead.

"I'm going to my own home, so why am I so nervous?"

Chapter 311 You're so good at this!

After calming down, Ran called Aoyama.

She thought it best to ask Qingze whether or not to go.

Aozawa was making dinner, and the three of them were all crammed into the kitchen. He even dragged Kogoro Mouri over to peel garlic.

Seeing his phone ring in his pocket, he glanced at the caller ID, washed his hands, and went to the bedroom to answer the call.

Seeing his daughter trying to avoid them when answering the phone, Kogoro Mori, who was peeling garlic, grumbled unhappily.

"It must be that kid Qingze's call..."

"Do you dislike him that much?"

Kogoro Mouri pounded his chest in grief and indignation, "My Ran, I don't want her to get married so early..."

Eri Kisaki was speechless. "Aren't you overthinking this?"

My daughter hasn't even started dating yet, and she's already thinking about getting married...

Qingze closed the bedroom door, cutting off the couple's view of him.

"Are you awake?"

Hearing Qingze ask this, Mouri Ran felt a little embarrassed.

"I didn't sleep. I was practicing making disguise masks and didn't notice the message."
