Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

"Did you catch it, Xiaolan?"

These words caused Officer Sato and Officer Takagi, who had followed them, to look at them with surprise.

Seeing such a strong reaction from these people, Qingze was speechless.

It's just a corpse that was caught, is it really that surprising?

"I don't know how I caught it. I thought it was a big fish, but after I pulled it up, I found out it was a corpse..."

The girl's face showed a faint fear and helplessness, her fingers fidgeting nervously.

Ran Mouri praised Aozawa's acting skills, noting that even while still angry about catching a corpse, he could instantly shed his emotions and get into character.

If she were here, that would be the best she could do.

"It's alright, don't be afraid, this is a good thing. Nobody wants to stay submerged forever," Officer Sato reassured him.

The girl smiled faintly and nodded gently.

The police officers questioned those present as usual about what happened, and because Qingze had been there the longest, they asked him more questions.

Ran Mouri calmly recounted what Aoze had just told her.

She didn't deliberately mention details such as clothing.

Qingze explained things to her in detail because he was afraid she wouldn't be able to answer, but if she gave the police too much detail, it would be a bit abnormal.

Since the body had been dead for more than 24 hours, Qingze, who had only come to fish that morning, was completely innocent.

Conan discovered signs of shoving on the shore, and the police immediately began investigating the deceased's interpersonal relationships.

For an entire afternoon, Qingze, disguised as a young girl, pretended to be frightened and sat under the shade of a tree, watching the police and two detectives, one big and one small, busily investigating.

With Conan's help, the culprit was identified as the fisherman who had been with the victim the day before.

There wasn't much else to see after that; it was just the police investigation and summons.

After the murderer arrived, he quickly confessed to his crime.

Ask him why he did that.

The murderer wept bitterly.

"He kept bragging to me about how many fish he had caught, and I got annoyed and shoved him, and then he fell in... It was too dark at night, and I got scared and ran away..."

Upon hearing the reason, Ran Mouri awkwardly touched her nose, then saw a mocking look in Aozawa's eyes.

Qingze, disguised as a young girl, crossed his arms, tilted his head back, and raised his chin slightly. "Did you hear that? Don't show off if there's nothing wrong with it."

It was as if a haughty big cat had reappeared before Ran Mouri's eyes.

She nodded with a smile in her eyes, showing exceptional doting affection.

The case was solved quickly.

The group also needed to prepare to go to the police station to give statements.

As the person who filed the report, Ran Mouri naturally had to go through this step as well.

I've caught enough fish, and the sun is about to set, so it's time to go home.

Carrying a bucket of fish and fishing gear, Ran Mouri walked up to the jeep that Aozawa had mentioned, and suddenly froze.

She's only learned to ride a motorcycle so far, she can't drive a car!

"You can ride in my car, it's spacious," she invited her father.

I don't know how to drive it, so I can only ask someone who does for help.

Kogoro Mouri readily agreed, as riding in a jeep was definitely more comfortable than riding in a police car.

After putting everything into the trunk, Ran Mouri got into the driver's seat and deliberately yawned a few times in front of her father.

"Mr. Mori, why don't you drive? I'm a little sleepy, and I'm afraid something might happen on the road."

"also."

It was a minor matter, and driving while fatigued was unacceptable, so Kogoro Mouri didn't refuse, and the two got out of the car and switched seats.

Aozawa sat in the back seat with Conan, watching Ran Mouri handle the situation with ease, and felt satisfied.

That's how it is; when you encounter a problem, you should find your own way to solve it. You can't remind yourself of everything.

Conan, who was standing nearby, noticed that Ran kept looking at Aozawa, and he was so jealous he felt like his jealousy was about to explode.

That Qingze is truly despicable!

But he couldn't forcibly stop Xiaolan's wishes.

Xiaolan is not his possession, and his confession in London has yet to receive a reply.

The child wearing glasses crossed his arms, displaying impotent rage.

Qingze glanced down at him, then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

After giving her statement at the police station, Ran Mouri returned all the fish she had caught to the Metropolitan Police Department.

There's no other way; I've caught so many, and I don't have anywhere to keep them. I might as well give them away and try to improve my image with the police.

Moreover, she also wanted Qingze to be less withdrawn and have more friends.

Then, she used the excuse of taking the Mori family home to get her father to drive her car to a parking lot near the office, successfully completing the vehicle transfer.

Qingze offered no comment and let her do as she pleased.

What he needs are partners and allies who have initiative, not useless people who only move when pushed.

Whether it's using Aozawa's identity to gain favor with the police or with Kogoro Mouri, it's not a bad thing for Aozawa's identity.

In the parking lot, Ran Mouri opened the fish box, revealing the last fish inside.

He put the fish into the bucket and handed it to Qingze.

"Miss Mori, please take this fish home and eat it."

Qingze looked at the fish, then glanced at Ran Mouri unexpectedly.

This is the one he caught this morning.

They actually kept it.

"Then I won't be polite."

Qingze smiled and took the bucket, deciding to make it die quickly to repay the kindness of biting the hook.

Seeing that the fish tank was completely empty, Kogoro Mouri raised an eyebrow.

"Aren't you going to keep one for yourself?"

Who fishes and doesn't eat the fish?

"No, it's too much trouble to remove fish scales."

Ran Mouri shook her head, trying to justify the fact that she had caught so many fish that day.

"I don't usually catch many fish, so I was really lucky today and had a good time."

Kogoro Mouri grimaced.

If he hadn't run into a case and stopped fishing, he would definitely have returned home with a full catch today.

With his fishing gear in hand, Qingze bid them farewell.

"It's getting late, I'm going home now. I'll visit the Mori office sometime."

"Does Brother Qingze also live around here?" Conan asked warily as Qingze prepared to walk back.

Living nearby means he has more opportunities to get to know Xiaolan.

"Yeah, it's not far from here. Goodbye."

Watching Aozawa's figure disappear, Kogoro Mori looked at his daughter and said earnestly:

"Xiaolan, you're still young. You should wait until college to start dating, and you should only date people you know well enough to know them well..."

Kogoro Mouri sensed that his daughter's relationship with this Aozawa was unusual, and that Aozawa looked at his daughter with a strangely dependent gaze.

Qingze: "?"

What do you mean by "dating"? When did he even start dating?

The girl looked annoyed and speechless. "Dad! What are you saying! Mr. Qingze and I are just ordinary friends!"

When his daughter denied it, Kogoro Mouri simply patted her on the shoulder.

"If you want to date, you must tell Dad! Dad will help you make a good choice."

Even if Xiaolan doesn't have this idea, there's no guarantee that Qingze won't.

A person who is rich, good-looking, and has plenty of time, if he also cares about Xiaolan, is someone no one can guarantee won't fall for.

Chapter 59 How could this person be like this!

A faint sense of helplessness appeared on Qingze's face, who was dressed as a young girl.

Would he be so heartless as to prey on a high school student?

If you're under 18, your online novels about romance won't pass censorship.

But Kogoro Mouri truly loves his daughter.

"I know, Dad."

"Me too, Ran-neechan, you have to tell me too! I'll help you check things out!" Conan jumped up, making his presence known.

"Okay, okay." Qingze agreed to everything.

Back on the third floor of the agency, Aozawa sharpened his knife and began cleaning the fish, while also asking Kogoro Mouri and Conan for help.

There's no need to do anything complicated, like picking vegetables, washing vegetables, or cooking rice.

Anyway, there's no way you can just sit around doing nothing and wait to eat.

If you won't help, then go clean.

Anyway, I can't just sit idle.

Quit?

Qingze wouldn't mind letting them experience Ran Mouri's karate side kick.

An hour later, a sumptuous meal was served.

Qingze took a picture of his delicious-looking and fragrant braised fish with great satisfaction and sent it to Ran Mouri.

Seeing it but not being able to eat it will make you drool with envy.

Ran Mouri, who had already finished dinner, saw the message and a smile spread across her face.

Mr. Qingze must be very happy that you sent him the photos.

Then enjoy the life that belongs to Ran Mouri!

Realizing that Qingze liked being praised, she gave him a compliment.

However, the message indicated that the message had been read, but no further messages were received.

Now I'm Qingze again, and I don't know when I'll be facing those people from the organization again.

Ran Mouri didn't dare to relax and worked hard to learn all sorts of skills.

My current motorcycle skills are good enough to get a license, but I haven't received my driving school graduation certificate yet.

After that, there will be a Public Security Committee exam.

This exam should be a piece of cake for Qingze; she doesn't need to worry about it.

Motorcycles can be used for transportation, while cars can be temporarily set aside.

She can't neglect her acting either; she can't keep reacting like Ran Mouri when someone calls her, just like she did today.

Next comes combat skills.

Whether it's physical skills or marksmanship, there are no shortcuts; you have to practice.
