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

Ran exclaimed in surprise, "Shiraishi-kun and Akiba-san are dating?"

Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting next to Ran, also looked back in the direction Ran was looking. At that moment, Shiraishihara and Akiba Reiko had just parted ways.

"Xiao Lan, don't talk nonsense."

Miss Akiba is a mature and beautiful female singer, how could she possibly be interested in a naive young man like Shiraishihara?

A mature and composed detective like myself is exactly the type Miss Akiba admires.

Xiao Lan chuckled.

"Dad, stop talking nonsense. You should make up with Mom right away, okay?"

"That woman, Eri..."

Kogoro Mouri shook his head in disdain, having no such thought whatsoever. He and his wife had been separated for ten years; if they could reconcile, they would have done so long ago. The only reason they hadn't divorced was for their daughter.

Just then, Shiraishihara walked over.

"Shiraishi-kun, come sit here." Sonoko had already reserved a seat for Shiraishi-hara.

"Oh, thank you." Shiraishi Hara sat down next to the garden.

"Why were you with Ms. Akiba just now?" Sonoko asked curiously.

The Mori father and daughter also curiously turned their gazes toward Shiraishihara.

"It's nothing... I just happened to run into them..."

Shiraishi Hara touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly, as if afraid that his nose would grow longer if he lied.

Conan turned his head and said, "I guess... Sister Reiko probably asked Brother Shiraishi for help, and then they parted ways after the matter was resolved. I had this feeling before."

Shiraishi looked at Conan with admiration. As a famous detective, Conan's intuition was indeed impressive: "Conan, your premonition is really accurate."

"What kind of request?" Sonoko pressed.

"This...this can't be said..."

The request was to accompany Akiba Reiko on a date, and Shiraishihara couldn't reveal the truth. He couldn't say or do anything that would hinder his plans to build a harem.

“That’s true. Detectives have to keep their clients’ information confidential.” Sonoko didn’t blame Shiraishihara.

"Tch... Miss Akiba has no taste. She should be asking me, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, for a case." Kogoro Mouri was very annoyed.

"Dad, please don't say things like that, it's too embarrassing," Ran Mouri said helplessly.

"Never mind. As long as Miss Akiba and Shiraishihara don't have any real relationship, I'm relieved." Kogoro Mouri didn't care about his daughter's accusations.

Xiaolan stroked her chin and analyzed, "It's really hard to imagine what kind of man could be worthy of a beauty like Akiba Reiko, who is like an ice queen."

Sonoko laughed and joked, "Our great detective Shiraishi is a perfect match, am I right, Shiraishi-kun?"

"Haha... Sonoko, you're really joking." Shiraishihara laughed awkwardly.

Suddenly, the lights in the hall dimmed, and the stage curtain slowly opened.

As the music began, the performance officially started.

The first performance featured Reiko Akiba.

Unlike Shiraishihara, who was in the audience, she was actually late as a singer. She had just changed into her performance dress and hadn't even had time to put on makeup.

Wearing a white evening gown and white stilettos, Akiba Reiko looked as pure as if she were untouched by the world, slowly walking to the center of the stage, like an angel descending to earth.

She sang "Amazing Grace," her voice like the gospel brought by angels. As soon as the song began, the audience was instantly captivated by Reiko Akiba's singing, completely mesmerized.

Even Kogoro Mouri, who has absolutely no musical talent, was deeply captivated.

Amazing grace, how sweet!

My sins have been forgiven.

I was lost before, but now I have been found.

......"

After she finished singing, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. Everyone was captivated by Akiba Reiko's singing and beauty; she was simply too perfect.

After Akiba Reiko finished her performance, the concert continued with other performers.

Reiko Akiba returned to the dressing room to touch up her makeup, as she would be performing as the finale of the concert later.

After touching up her makeup, she sat in front of the mirror in the dressing room, admiring her stunningly beautiful face, thinking that Shiraishihara would definitely like it.

She looked around and realized she was all alone. Everyone else was in the dressing room waiting for their performance, while she remained in the dressing room. A thought struck her, and she took out her phone to send a text message to Shiraishihara.

"I'm all alone in the dressing room right now, do you want to come over?"

130 I'm driving, Yukiko: Isn't this more exciting?

Chapter 130.

"Why should I go there?"

"I just finished my makeup and wanted to show it to you."

"I'll come right away."

After receiving the text message and confirming it was from Reiko Akiba, Shiraishihara quietly rose from his seat. The audience was so engrossed in the captivating performance that no one noticed him.

Soon, Shiraishihara arrived at the dressing room alone, knocked on the door, and Akiba Reiko immediately opened the door. After Shiraishihara entered, she locked the door again.

Reiko Akiba turned to look at Shiraishihara and asked with a smile, "Hara-kun, how was it? Did my performance disappoint you?"

"Yes. I like her very much." Shiraishihara walked up to Akiba Reiko, the beauty before him was as beautiful as a fairy descended from heaven.

"So, what do you think of my makeup now?"

"Yes! You look beautiful. Actually, you're already very beautiful without makeup, but you look even more radiant with it."

Which style do you prefer?

Akiba Reiko took a step back so that Shiraishihara could see her beauty from head to toe.

"Reiko, you didn't call me here just so I could admire your makeup, did you?"

Shiraishi Hara gazed at the graceful and charming Akiba Reiko before him, his eyes filled with admiration.

"What do you think?"

Akiba Reiko gently fiddled with her hair with her fingers, a hint of interest in her eyes, and looked at Shiraishihara.

Shiraishi smiled slightly and said sincerely, "To be honest, Reiko, you look especially charming today, all dressed up so carefully."

"You made me so tired last night..." Akiba Reiko complained softly.

"Reiko, stop teasing me," Shiraishihara quickly replied.

Akiba Reiko's cheeks flushed slightly, and she turned her face slightly to the side.

"If you want to hug me, that's fine. But you have to be careful not to get my dress dirty," Akiba Reiko instructed.

"It is indeed a bit of a hassle. If the dress gets dirty, it will be quite difficult to deal with."

Shiraishi Hara also felt that this matter was somewhat tricky, after all, this was the dressing room of the music hall, there were many audience members sitting outside, and Akiba Reiko was about to go on stage to perform the finale of the concert.

"Just be careful, you know," Akiba Reiko said, giving him a light glare.

Then, Akiba Reiko gently tossed her long hair and slowly walked towards Shiraishihara, where the two naturally began to chat.

As the conversation deepened, the atmosphere in the dressing room became increasingly relaxed and harmonious.

"Hurry up and make a decision. If we wait for the others to come, we won't be able to chat so freely," Akiba Reiko urged.

“I understand,” Shiraishi responded, and the two continued to share their amusing stories.

Just then, "bang bang—" there was a knock on the door.

Reiko Akiba paused for a moment, then quickly composed herself and called out to the door, "Coming!"

Shiraishi Hara quickly regained his composure and regained his calm demeanor.

After tidying herself up and making sure everything was in order, Akiba Reiko went to open the door.

Standing outside the door was Shion Yamane. Upon seeing Reiko Akiba, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Akiba, so you're here. Everyone was really worried when they suddenly realized you were missing."

“I arrived late and didn’t have time to put on makeup, so I came here to touch it up,” Akiba Reiko explained.

“Miss Akiba, it’s good that you’re alright. It’s about time you went over there; everyone was worried about you,” said Yamane Shion.

"But my performance isn't starting that soon yet, is there such a rush?" Akiba Reiko asked, somewhat puzzled.

“As you know, the curator and Takumi were arrested by the police, and Mr. Domoto Ikki couldn’t attend the performance because he didn’t have his own sound engineer. So, the concert program has been changed,” Yamane Shion explained.

“Okay, I’ll be right there,” Akita Reiko replied.

At that moment, Yamane Shion saw Shiraishi Hara and couldn't help but ask, "What's Detective Shiraishi doing here?"

Shiraishi calmly replied, "I came to help Miss Akiba touch up her makeup."

Yamane Shion asked with a puzzled look, "Why is it a detective helping Akiba-san with her makeup?"

Shiraishi explained calmly, "As a detective, mastering a variety of skills is a basic requirement, and makeup is one of the skills I possess."

"I see. Detective Shiraishi, you're really amazing!" Yamane Shion couldn't help but admire him, thinking to herself that this Detective Shiraishi was not only intelligent but also very handsome. It was a pity that there was a big age gap, otherwise she might have considered pursuing him.

The three then left the dressing room together, and Shiraishihara returned to his seat. Not long after, it was Akiba Reiko's turn to perform.

Reiko Akiba will be performing "Ave Maria" this time. On stage, she exudes an ethereal aura, as if the Virgin Mary has descended.

The stage lights shone softly on Akiba Reiko.

With a solemn expression, she began to sing "Ave Maria" with deep emotion as the beautiful music slowly began to play.

"Hail Mary,"

You are full of grace,

The Lord is with you

......"

Reiko Akiba's melodious and ethereal voice seemed to convey the Lord's love for humanity, deeply moving even those who were not Christians.

Xiao Lan couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss Qiu Ting is so beautiful, and she sings so well too!"

Sonoko also remarked, "If I were a boy, I would definitely try every possible way to pursue her."

Kogoro Mouri even started daydreaming: "Oh dear, I need to divorce Eri quickly so I can pursue Ms. Akiba."

Unlike them, Conan looked suspicious: "Something's not right... Miss Akiba's voice cracked in a few places. With her skill level, she shouldn't be making such basic mistakes."

Because she was distracted while chatting with Shiraishihara, Akiba Reiko's voice did crack a few times, but it was hard for ordinary viewers to hear. Only someone with perfect pitch like Conan could detect it.

Conan, who was sitting in the row in front of Shiraishihara, couldn't help but turn around and glance at Shiraishihara. The others didn't pay much attention, but he noticed that Shiraishihara had been with Akiba Reiko for a while.

However, Shiraishihara's expression was perfectly natural, and Conan didn't notice anything unusual.

Reiko Akiba and Shiraishihara made a promise that they would get married after Shiraishihara graduated from high school.

For now, in order not to disrupt Shiraishihara's normal life, the two are maintaining a secret relationship.

Shiraishi agreed without hesitation, promising to marry Akiba Reiko as soon as he graduated from high school.

However, it remains to be seen whether Akiba Reiko will live to see that day.

……

Over the weekend, Yukiko Kudo drove Shiraishihara and Ai Haibara camping, but they got lost.

"My God, what kind of place is this? It's completely different from what I imagined."

Yukiko Kudo looked around at the dense forest with a blank expression.

She had planned it all out perfectly: to arrive at the pre-booked campsite in the evening, have a barbecue together, and then go camping together.

0 ······Requesting flowers 0 ·

But it's getting dark, and they still haven't reached the campsite.

If we wait until dark to continue our journey, we'll be even less likely to find our way.

As the sunlight filtering through the leaves grew dimmer, she suddenly felt lost.

"What's wrong, Yukiko?" Shiraishihara, sitting in the passenger seat, asked, noticing Yukiko's worried expression.
