Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

He appeared silently behind Ran Mouri, his sinister voice piercing her ear.

"You caught quite a lot."

Ran Mouri was startled and instinctively shrank back. When she turned around, she saw her own face, her father behind her, and Conan running towards her.

"How did you come?"

Seeing that Qingze had also arrived, Ran Mouri proudly lifted the fish bucket to show it to him.

"Look, I caught a few more, and the fish box is already overflowing."

Qingze's fist hardened.

Conan slowed his pace as he ran towards them.

Qingze!

It was actually Qingze!

How come he's so familiar with Xiaolan!

They chatted as if no one else was around, their familiar manner making them seem like they lived in their own world.

Can't! Absolutely not!

He suddenly quickened his pace, cutting between the two, and let out a child's gasp.

"It's Brother Qingze!"

Ran Mouri glanced at Aozawa. When did Mr. Aozawa have any dealings with Conan?

Qingze turned away, not wanting to pay attention to her.

"Uh……"

Why are you angry?

Ran Mouri was confused.

She then looked at Conan. Although she didn't know what their past interactions were, it didn't affect Ran Mouri's response.

"It's you, little one." She turned to look at Kogoro Mouri, who was approaching with a fishing rod. "Are you here to fish too? This is a really good place for fishing."

Qingze brought them here without telling her or informing her beforehand.

Ran Mouri guessed that Aozawa probably planned to make their acquaintance public in front of his father and Conan, so that they could meet openly and legitimately in the future.

Incidentally, it was also a test for her.

Qingze's character design varies depending on the character he is dealing with.

Ran Mouri thinks that Aozawa will be quite friendly when facing Conan and his father.

There's no particular reason. It's because Qingze needs to interact with Ran Mouri, and a cold attitude would offend both of them, causing them to feel resistance and disgust, which would be detrimental to future developments.

P.S.: Bonus chapter for my beloved [Just Air]!

I love long reviews, and I love being praised!

Receiving such earnest comments and praise makes me feel like I'm floating on air—I'm so happy I could fly!

Praise the article more, praise me more, I love reading it!

(I'm typing away with a burst of energy...)

(By the way, some readers in the discussion group wrote that the food is fragrant and delicious.)

Chapter 56 Is it amazing to catch so many fish?

"You're Xiaolan's friend, kid?"

Is this the person who has been chatting with Xiaolan on his phone the whole time?

Kogoro Mori looked Aozawa up and down, making a critical assessment in his mind.

She's just not bad looking.

The fishing gear they used was quite expensive, and it probably cost them a little money.

"You must be Mr. Kogoro Mouri. I've heard so much about you."

Ran Mouri smiled and extended a hand to gently shake hands with her father.

This perspective was strange and novel, and Ran Mouri found it interesting.

"What do you do for a living?" Kogoro Mouri began to interrogate Aozawa as if he were interrogating a criminal.

He was extremely wary of any woman who appeared near his daughter, fearing that his precious daughter would be taken advantage of.

"Freelancing..."

How did you come to know my daughter?

"We met while fishing in the park. Ms. Mori is so cute..."

Kogoro Mouri narrowed his eyes.

Is this the gentleman Xiaolan mentioned earlier whom she met while fishing?

Xiao Lan also confided in him about her feelings.

Conan, who was listening in, also remembered this incident and even cared a lot about this person. He never expected that it was actually Aozawa.

The highest level of alarm went off in his mind, and he looked at Qingze with increasing vigilance.

What does it mean that Xiaolan can confide in him?

If we take it a step further, can we just call her "Lan" directly?

After that, will I start dating?!

No, absolutely not!!!

"Oh dear, I heard from Sister Xiaolan that you were in the hospital. Is Mr. Qingze not feeling well?"

Ran Mouri looked down at Conan, who appeared curious and innocent but was actually cunning, and chuckled inwardly.

This was a deliberate attempt to point out Qingze's poor health, hoping to lower his father's first impression.

How come I never noticed before that Shinichi is so cunning?

But it doesn't matter.

It's not like I'm introducing my boyfriend to my parents.

"My health isn't very good, and I often have to go to the hospital for checkups..." The young man spoke casually, not minding that this was being mentioned.

"But you look perfectly healthy!" Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in surprise.

Although his skin was a bit pale, the young man in front of me was not thin at all; he had excellent blood circulation and did not look sick at all.

"Because I've been taking care of myself, Mr. Mori thinks I'm healthy, so it seems the treatment is working quite well..."

Qingze ignored the father and daughter who were talking.

After all this special training, if he can't even handle his own father, he might as well just commit suicide. What's the point of pretending?

He walked to the shade of a tree, sat down on the ground, unwrapped a coconut candy, and popped it into his mouth.

The grass beside her was soft, so she simply lay down and let the breeze from the lake caress her cheeks. The sweetness spread, and even the annoyance of being pressed against someone's face and exposed was soothed a lot.

Ran Mouri is sometimes quite clever, but other times she's inexplicably stubborn and can't think straight.

Was he praising her?

And they're even showing off!

It's also possible that she did it on purpose, knowing he couldn't catch any fish, and was just teasing him.

Qingze turned his head to look at her, just as Ran Mouri was also looking at him and winked at him.

Qingze resisted the urge to give the middle finger.

He's Ran Mouri now, he can't break character.

He stood up, picked up the fishing rod he had brought, and began to bait the hook, cast the line, and fish.

He refuses to believe it today!

With Ran Mouri's body, you still can't catch a fish!

It turns out that some things don't change with changes in the body.

The two people, one big and one small, surrounded Ran Mouri and asked her questions for half an hour, while Aozawa also fished for half an hour, but not a single fish took the bait.

Conan followed Kogoro Mouri and questioned him for a long time, finally obtaining the basic information he had already learned at the charity gala.

Qingze was an orphan who was lucky enough to be adopted by a wealthy businessman. His adoptive father passed away a few years ago, and he has been living alone ever since.

With a small tech company in his family and the inheritance left to him by his adoptive father, he has no worries about food and clothing.

As they chatted, even the uncle's attitude towards Qingze improved considerably.

Conan was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.

Ran Mouri looked at Conan.

She didn't know what kind of interaction Aozawa and Conan had, but since she didn't know about it, it meant that she wasn't there, and her father probably wasn't there either.

Based on Aozawa's current personality, even if he interacts with Conan, it's likely only to exchange a few words, and he's even less likely to bring up Ran Mouri on his own initiative.

It's unlikely that Conan would introduce himself to a stranger.

It is known that Aozawa knows Ran Mouri and has met Conan.

If she doesn't show any suspicion about Conan and Ran being there together, given Shinichi's keen perception, she's very likely to arouse suspicion.

She chose a question that was unlikely to go wrong and asked:

"Mr. Mori, is this your son?"

"No, that's not true. He's just staying at my house right now."

"So this is ah……"

The young man nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Conan didn't want to watch the two chat, so he simply went to Ran's side and fished with her.

Kogoro Mouri was also getting ready to go fishing. Looking at the full bucket of fish beside him, he felt inexplicably confident.

The fact that Qingze was able to catch so many fish shows that this spot is good. He will definitely win today!

He moved a stool out and sat down next to Aozawa. Kogoro Mori baited the hook, cast the line, and did it all in one smooth motion.

Seeing the buoy in the lake start moving again, Ran Mouri didn't rush to pull the rod, but instead stole a glance at Aozawa, who was wearing her skin.

Mr. Qingze has been fishing for more than half an hour, but there hasn't been a single bite.

No way?

Surely no one can really not catch a fish?

She pulled the fishing rod and quickly hooked the fish, then deliberately carried the three-pound fish to Qingze's side.

"Has no fish bitn the hook yet?"

Ran deliberately waved the fish in front of Aozawa, looking troubled, and said, "My bucket is full, did you bring any water buckets?"

Mao! Li! Lan!

Qingze clenched his fists, almost losing control.

Conan had no idea that the man in front of him was actually Ran, and he just thought the man in front of him was incredibly annoying.

This person isn't here to ask about the water bucket; they're clearly here to show off.

Seeing that Xiaolan hadn't caught any fish, he deliberately showed off, which was really annoying.

He suddenly saw the float move and quickly shouted a warning:

"Sister Xiaolan, a fish has taken the bait!"
