Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

The night was desolate, and even the evening breeze carried a chill.

There is no moonlight tonight, and the sky is pitch black.

How I wish that if I looked down, I could see that figure standing downstairs, giving me a thumbs up.

But the area downstairs was empty; there was nothing there.

Qingze lay in the jeep, using his head as a pillow to look at the dark night sky.

The night view wasn't anything special; it all looked the same.

But if you don't look at it, you won't know what it can do.

The wind from the mountains blew into the car.

It's terribly cold.

Volume One: The Lonely Patient

------

P.S.: The following is just some random thoughts.

Having spent so much time writing this, I'm fairly satisfied with ending Ran's feelings for Shinichi; it's a way of giving Ran's emotions a proper conclusion.

The next volume will officially begin the romantic storyline between Qingze and Xiaolan.

Relationships are full of ups and downs, constant clashes, and never smooth sailing.

Two people who were never on the same path to begin with, wanting to be together is definitely not that simple.

Before this conflict, all the vague feelings of affection and attachment were just castles in the air.

Only through constant interaction can we see the true colors of each other's souls, understand and tolerate one another, and allow two different souls to resonate in unison.

The next volume is "Soul Resonance".

Chapter 92 Will Vermouth come?

"I'm sorry, let's break up..."

Under the dim streetlights, the man left these words and turned to walk away, the light casting a long shadow of him, like a continuous black line.

The woman behind him opened her mouth as if to say something, but the sound that came out was choked with sobs.

Tears streamed down her face, leaving her cheeks covered in mud.

My heart clenched instantly, and even the wind around me seemed to grieve along with it.

Ran Mouri had been to film sets before; her father had even appeared on variety shows. But this was the first time she had ever seriously watched someone act.

Lighting, props, camera crane, director, script supervisor, cameraman... countless staff members surrounded the performance center, while the two male and female leads were immersed in their roles and completely unaffected.

This mindset is something I should learn from.

"Cut! Perfect! This one's done—"

The director's voice rang out, and the set erupted in cheers.

Ran Mouri walked over and handed Yoko Okino a tissue.

It must be said that Yoko Okino's sudden popularity was not without reason.

She's beautiful and has a sweet voice when she sings, and she's equally good at acting. She has a great personality and is very sincere.

Just now, the moment her tears fell, she immediately drew everyone around her into a state of sadness.

"Miss Yoko, please take a rest."

"Thank you Xiaolan."

Yoko Okino wiped away her tears, instantly detaching herself from the stage and revealing her usual gentle smile.

"As expected of Ms. Yoko, my heart breaks along with her when she sheds a tear..."

Kogoro Mouri, standing to the side, was completely infatuated with the girl. He pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere and pretended to wipe his eyes, as if he was still savoring the scene where he had just shed tears.

Looking at this unserious middle-aged man, Conan chuckled inwardly.

It's really disgusting.

Just then, a voice full of surprise came over.

"Miss Mori!"

A young man dressed like a college student ran over, and when he saw Ran Mouri, a bright yet slightly shy smile spread across his face.

Conan's brows furrowed instantly.

Isn't this the guy from acting class who stared at Xiaolan, confessed his feelings, and got rejected?

What are you doing here?

"Who is this?" Another handsome guy appeared, and he was after his Ran. Kogoro Mouri immediately became alert.

"Hello, Mr. Mori. My name is Hidetoshi Matsui. I'm a newly debuted actor. I took the same acting class as Ms. Mori before. I never expected to meet you here. What a coincidence!"

Matsui Hidetoshi shook hands with Mouri Kogoro with great respect, displaying politeness and sincerity.

Ran Mouri had little contact with this Hidetoshi Matsui, hadn't paid much attention to him, and didn't even know his name.

Since that time he was rejected after confessing his feelings, he has never gone to the acting class again.

Filming for this movie has been going on for a while now, and he must have joined the crew after that.

Whether it was because of the makeup or because he was looking closely, he noticed that Matsui Hidetoshi actually looked a bit like Aozawa.

Suddenly, Ran Mouri felt a touch of self-deprecation.

What's been going on lately?

How come you can think of Qingze from just any random thing?

There are too many people in the world who look alike, how could just anyone be associated with Qingze?

"Hello, Mr. Matsui." Ran Mouri greeted him with a smile, maintaining a distance that suggested they were just acquaintances.

"Is Ms. Mori here for a cameo role?" Matsui Hidetoshi asked expectantly.

"No, I'm just here to learn."

A hint of disappointment crossed Matsui Hidetoshi's brows. "I see..."

Yoko Okino's gaze swept between the group, a smile playing on her lips.

"I didn't expect you two to know each other."

Matsui Hidetoshi gave a shy smile. "I didn't expect to meet Ms. Mori here. Is Ms. Mori planning to pursue a career in entertainment?"

Ran Mouri shook her head. "We asked Ms. Yoko to come to the film crew to learn, but it's just for learning; we don't have any plans for that at the moment."

Conan frowned, clearly displeased, as he watched Matsui Hidetoshi, whose gaze remained fixed on Ran.

He tilted his head back, feigning curiosity, and asked, "What role did Mr. Matsui play in the movie?"

Yoko Okino answered the question for him, looking down at Conan with a mysterious smile, "He's a supporting male character."

Conan's heart sank slightly.

The fact that he has to take acting classes means that Matsui Hidetoshi is a complete newcomer to the entertainment industry. For a newcomer to be cast in a big-budget film right away, and as a supporting actor, suggests that he must have quite a background.

Even though Xiaolan had clearly rejected him that day, judging from his appearance, he still clearly had feelings for Xiaolan.

Finally, Aozawa stopped appearing recently, but then Matsui Hidetoshi emerged. We can't relax for a moment.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Ran Mouri was genuinely surprised.

Upon being praised, Matsui Hidetoshi's ahoge (cowlick) twitched and stood up.

"No, I still have a long way to go. I'm very grateful for the guidance of my seniors..."

Kogoro Mouri pursed his lips, disliking this kind of shy scene among young people.

But the other person was just chatting casually and keeping their distance, so he didn't feel comfortable saying anything.

After filming this scene, the next scene is a mansion party.

The crew, carrying their equipment, headed to the already constructed set.

It's called setting up a venue, but it's really just borrowing the space.

The luxurious villa features intricately carved beams and painted rafters, with stunning pools and gardens, fulfilling every imaginable vision of a mansion.

Even with so many people from the film crew coming together, it didn't feel crowded at all.

This scene depicts a dinner party in the garden.

The female lead attends a dinner party at the invitation of her suitor, the male supporting character Matsui Hidetoshi, where she meets the male lead, who is accompanied by a female companion.

The two, separated for a year, meet again. Both have someone else in their lives, but their hearts are drawn to each other again, which leads to a series of misunderstandings.

Conan, peeking at the script, mentally gave his assessment.

A boring and melodramatic romance drama, utterly devoid of any fun.

"Huh? You mean Miss Chris will be making a cameo appearance as the male lead's female companion?!"

Upon hearing this news, Ran Mouri was in a daze for a while.

Chris Vineyard, will that Vermouth make a cameo appearance?

I can't describe how I feel right now.

Nervous, uneasy, afraid, yet filled with anticipation.

Sharon Vineyard, one of her two favorite actresses, is also the organization's enchantress of a thousand faces—Vermouth, whom she calls an angel.

It's really hard to stay calm when someone like that suddenly appears in front of you.

Conan was also surprised.

Chris Vineyard! Isn't that Vermouth?

Vermouth is actually going to make a cameo appearance in a movie?

What is she planning to do? Does she have some kind of mission?

Alertness instantly spiked to its highest level, wary of Vermouth's appearance.

"Yes, it was confirmed a long time ago. But Miss Chris only has one scene, just a cameo. Speaking of which, I'm a fan of Miss Chris too. It would be great to take a picture with her..."

Yoko Okino spoke, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"I think I heard someone talking about me."

A woman's voice came from afar and then stopped in front of the group, her gaze first falling on Ran Mouri.

Chapter 93 He just didn't want to fish for a corpse.

Ran Mouri felt her heart beating a little fast.

This is a completely different feeling from facing Vermouth with Qingze's body.

Tension and tautness must be maintained, but vigilance must be kept hidden deep within, without revealing the slightest sign of it.

Vermouth looked exactly like the famous star Chris Vineyard at that moment.

Her blonde hair cascaded down her back in a loose, natural style, and her black fishtail skirt swayed as she walked, revealing glimpses of her cleavage. Her red lips parted slightly, making her both sexy and alluring.

After her gaze lingered on Ran Mouri for a few seconds, she glanced at Conan, then fixed her gaze on Kogoro Mouri.

She smiled and extended a hand. "You must be the famous Detective Mouri. I've heard so much about you."

Upon seeing the stunningly beautiful woman, Kogoro Mouri's eyes practically popped out of his head. Although he was practically drooling inside, he maintained a perfectly serious demeanor in front of her.

He loosened his tie, revealing what he thought was his most handsome profile.
