Detective Conan: Developing a younger version of Ran Eri, and the stunning Yukiko.

Almost simultaneously, everyone in the stadium turned their gaze towards the direction from which the sound came, Conan included. At this moment, he could only temporarily put aside the question of whether Ran would be kissed by Shiraishihara; solving the case at hand was the most important thing.

"Huh? What happened?" Ran Mouri on the stage looked completely bewildered.

Immediately afterwards, Ran Mouri was kissed passionately by the Black Knight... The Black Knight was completely immersed in the kiss, as if the chaotic scene below the stage had nothing to do with him.

"Mmm, uh..."

"Chirp chirp puff..."

"Ugh..."

The two kissed passionately, which not only completely broke Yukiko's mentality, but also made Eri Kisaki furious.

Without hesitation, Eri Kisaki jumped onto the stage and shouted angrily, "You two, when are you going to stop kissing?!"

"Mom?" Ran's face flushed bright red instantly, like a ripe apple. She quickly pushed Shiraishi away forcefully. "Mom, please don't misunderstand, it's just a stage play..."

Eri Kisaki completely ignored her daughter's explanation, pointed her finger directly at Shiraishihara, and demanded, "Who exactly are you? Are you Shinichi Kudo?"

Shiraishihara slowly removed the mask from his face, revealing his true face, and said, "Auntie, my name is Shiraishihara, I'm really not Shinichi Kudo."

Eri Kisaki looked the young man up and down. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, an extraordinary temperament, elegant manners, and a graceful demeanor. He was even more handsome than Shinichi Kudo. No wonder her daughter was so attracted to him.

"Shiraishihara? You've gone too far! How could you kiss my daughter like that! Explain yourself! What exactly is your relationship with my daughter?"

"Auntie, Ran and I are classmates." Shiraishihara looked guilty, realizing that it was inappropriate to do such a thing in front of Ran's mother. "I'm so sorry, Auntie, I was just too immersed in my role."

After all, this was only part of a stage play, so Eri Kisaki couldn't be too harsh on Shiraishihara.

"Xiaolan, what's wrong with you? How could you let a boy kiss you like that?"

"Mom, I'm really okay. Shiraishi-kun and I are good friends."

"Even good friends shouldn't do this."

Seeing this, Yukiko, wanting to make Eri hate Shiraishihara even more, added fuel to the fire by pointing her finger at Shiraishihara and saying...

"What do you mean by being too into the performance? Shiraishihara, don't think I don't know what you're up to. You're clearly using the performance as an opportunity to take advantage of Ran."

Yukiko's words were not without reason, but Shiraishihara dared not admit it, as he did not want to be disliked by Ran's mother.

“Aunt Yukiko, you’ve really wronged me. Ran and I have rehearsed this kissing scene many times for this performance. That’s why we were able to perform so naturally and smoothly on stage.”

"What!" Eri Kisaki and Yukiko were both shocked, their eyes widening in disbelief. They had no idea that Ran and Shiraishi had kissed so many times backstage. Things were far worse than they had imagined.

Eri and Yukiko looked at Shiraishihara with hostility, and the atmosphere on the stage instantly became tense, as if it could explode at any moment.

Sensing that something was amiss on stage, Sonoko Suzuki and Naoko Takei quickly stepped forward to speak up for Shiraishihara.

Sonoko Suzuki hurriedly defended Shiraishihara, saying, "Aunt Eri, Aunt Yukiko, you've misunderstood Shiraishihara. Blame it on my script for being too exaggerated. Shiraishihara is really not the kind of guy who deliberately takes advantage of girls. I'm truly sorry."

Naoko Takei also testified in support of Shiraishihara: "Shiraishihara is really not a bad person, this is really just a misunderstanding!"

Seeing that everyone was speaking up for Shiraishihara, and considering that this was just a stage play, Eri Kisaki decided not to pursue the matter any further.

however……

Yukiko, however, persisted in trying to persuade Eri Kisaki to stop her daughter from dating Shiraishi.

“Eri, Shiraishihara is definitely not a good person. You must not be fooled by his appearance. You must tell Ran that she must not associate with him again.”

Yukiko's little scheme naturally did not escape Eri Kisaki's notice.

"Yukiko, how much do you really know about Shiraishihara?"

"Uh...actually, I don't know much about him." As for how much she knew about Shiraishihara, Yukiko knew very well; the two had had in-depth conversations before, but such things couldn't be said publicly. "I just went with a woman's intuition! Eri, look at Shiraishihara's appearance, he's clearly not a decent person!"

Xiaolan was not happy when she heard this.

"Aunt Yukiko, how can you judge a book by its cover? Shiraishihara is nothing like you say; he's a very good person!"

Eri pushed up her glasses and looked at Yukiko with a serious expression: "Yukiko, I actually care more about your Shinichi. When something like this happens, your Shinichi should have shown up to stop it. I'm so disappointed in him."

Eri Kisaki shook her head in disappointment. With Shinichi Kudo's performance, Yukiko still had the nerve to suggest that she marry her daughter to Shinichi.

"Ah...yes..." Upon mentioning Shinichi Kudo, Yukiko quickly changed the subject, as Shinichi Kudo's current situation was really hard to explain.

... . ....

"By the way, where did Conan go?"

Yukiko suddenly realized that Conan was missing. She thought to herself that she had gone to so much trouble to sow discord, but Conan, the main character, had disappeared.

Shiraishi raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction: "Conan is over there..."

Yukiko looked in the direction Shiraishihara was pointing and saw that a case had occurred somewhere in the audience. Conan was giving advice and providing clues to Inspector Megure, who had rushed to the scene.

"Conan, that kid really can't tell the difference between what's important and what's urgent!" Yukiko secretly resolved that she would give her son a good scolding when she got back and make him change this bad habit.

Shiraishi looked at the three girls and said, "Let's go change our clothes first."

"Ah."

Shiraishi and the three girls went to the men's and women's changing rooms respectively and changed into their usual casual clothes.

The four of them reunited and discussed what to do next.

Sonoko Suzuki was the first to suggest, "Next, of course, we should hold a victory celebration banquet!"

Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment: "A murder happened in the stadium, and we're going to hold a celebration party there? Is that appropriate?"

Naoko Takei said nonchalantly, "The murder case has nothing to do with us, so what's wrong with it?"

Ran Mouri turned her gaze to Shiraishihara, wanting to hear his opinion.

Shiraishi said calmly, "The police have arrived at the scene. Just leave the matter to them."

Sonoko Suzuki chuckled and gently punched Shiraishi Haru on the back: "Shiraishi-kun, you're absolutely right. If it were Shinichi, he would definitely meddle in other people's business."

Ran Mouri quickly defended Shinichi Kudo: "Shinichi is a high school detective, his situation is different from ours."

Sonoko Suzuki retorted, "Shiraishi-kun is also a high school detective, and he's even been recognized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department!"

Shiraishi explained, "Although I am recognized as a high school detective by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, in the end, I am just a high school student, and the things I can do are still very limited."

After hearing Shiraishihara's explanation, Ran Mouri suddenly understood. High school detectives are, in essence, still high school students; finding the murderer isn't their primary task.

“That’s true…” Ran Mouri stuck out her little tongue playfully, thinking to herself that she really had been led astray by Shinichi Kudo before.

Immediately, everyone was overjoyed and prepared to hold a celebration banquet. After all, the play's perfect conclusion was truly worthy of a grand celebration.

Aunt Eri and Aunt Yukiko also came to the place, and naturally invited them to join in. Eri Kisaki agreed without hesitation, as she could spend time with her daughter and also take this opportunity to observe Shiraishihara's character.

However, Yukiko looked worried, her beautiful face filled with panic.

"But Conan... is still here..."

Sonoko Suzuki quickly stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "Aunt Yukiko, don't worry about that brat Conan. He's probably off playing detective games again."

Ran told me that Conan and his classmates even formed a Junior Detective Club, and they're really obsessed with detective games.

Ran Mouri nodded in agreement: "That's right, Conan is always like that, just ignore him, nothing will go wrong."

First.

080 Push Yukiko down hard and see how sharp her tongue is.

Chapter 80

"Please wait for me a moment."

With that, Yukiko hurried off towards Conan's location. In her haste, she almost lost her high-heeled sandals.

"Conan!"

Filled with resentment, Yukiko shouted loudly at Conan, who was focused on the case.

Conan turned his head with an annoyed look and muttered, "Yukiko-neechan, what are you doing here? Can't you see I'm helping the police investigate a case?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Everyone needs to go to the victory celebration banquet. You'd better come with me."

"No way... They still have the nerve to hold a celebration banquet after a murder case."

Conan's face was filled with disbelief, as if he couldn't understand it at all.

Yukiko was too lazy to waste words with him. She reached out and grabbed Conan by the back of his collar, lifting him up in one go, intending to take him away directly.

Conan struggled desperately; the case wasn't solved yet, how could he give up halfway?

"Yukiko-neechan, please put me down."

Yukiko reluctantly let go of Conan. At this moment, her expression was not just resentful, but furious.

His daughter-in-law is almost gone, and this kid is still completely focused on the case. He's acting like a child; hasn't he learned his lesson yet?!

"Conan, what exactly do you want?"

"I'm not going. I still have to work on the case. I'm about to find out the truth."

"Xiaolan, are you planning to give up?"

"of course not!"

"Then hurry up and come with me! Eri is here too, let's work together to figure out a way to make Eri hate Shiraishihara!"

"Ah... Yukiko-neechan, I'll leave this difficult task to you for now. I'll come find you after I finish this case."

After saying that, Conan, fearing that Yukiko would catch him again, took off running.

"317"

Yukiko was so angry that her body trembled violently, and she almost coughed up blood from anger at her son.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yukiko clutched her chest, feeling a sharp pain in her chest from anger at her son.

Now that things have come to this, she really has no choice but to let her son do as he pleases.

She wore a plain-colored dress and high-heeled sandals, slowly making her way through the crowd. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and she stood alone, her face filled with sorrow, a sight that would surely evoke pity in anyone who saw her.

Seeing this, Shiraishi couldn't help but laugh out loud, and teased, "Oh my... what's going on here, Aunt Yukiko? Didn't Conan come with you?"

Yukiko was so angered by Shiraishihara's words that her legs went weak and she collapsed into his arms.

"Aunt Yukiko!"

Shiraishi quickly helped Yukiko up, secretly wondering to himself, "What's wrong with this woman? She's too funny."

Seeing this, the others gathered around to check on Yukiko, worried that something might have happened to her.

Yukiko, nestled in Shiraishihara's arms, slowly took a few deep breaths before her emotions gradually calmed down.

"I'm fine, don't worry about Conan, let's go."

Yukiko forced out an awkward yet still elegant smile.

Seeing that Yukiko was unharmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then left the gymnasium to head to the place that Sonoko Suzuki had booked in advance.

……

The celebration banquet was held in a private room at a Michelin three-star kaiseki restaurant.

At the banquet, after her daughter's explanation, Eri Kisaki not only did not dislike Shiraishihara, but also felt that Shiraishihara seemed to be more suitable for Ran than Shinichi Kudo.

However, with Yukiko present, Eri Kisaki couldn't directly express her opinion.

Eri Kisaki said tactfully, "Yukiko, if you still expect me to help you, you'd better explain your son's situation to everyone. Otherwise, not only will my daughter lose trust in him, but I'll also have to re-evaluate your son."

Yukiko was sweating profusely; there was no way to explain it. She was so anxious that beads of sweat were pouring down her forehead.

Suddenly, she raised her hand, her jade-like finger pointing at Shiraishihara.

"Shiraishihara, you explain yourself..."

"Aunt Yukiko, what do you want me to explain?"

Shiraishi looked completely innocent, utterly bewildered.

"Stop pretending. You know Shinichi Kudo's situation. You explain it to him."

"Aunt Yukiko, what do you mean by this? You want me to do this in front of everyone..."

"Of course that's not what I meant!" Yukiko was almost in tears, desperately trying to get Shiraishihara to cover for her. "Please help me think of something!"
