Chapter 97 Mao Lilan’s request
Lin Xinyi and Mouri Kogoro looked at the scenery side by side for a while, and the atmosphere quickly relaxed.
A few words, a cigarette, men's friendship is that simple.
"Boy, no matter what you have seen, you can't look at the world with too cold eyes."
"In our line of work, no matter how much ugliness and evil we have seen, we must always believe that there is still light and warmth in the world!"
Before saying goodbye, Mouri Kogoro taught Lin Xinyi in the tone of an experienced person.
"Yeah." Lin Xinyi nodded silently to accept the opinion:
Indeed, he has been exposed to too many dark sides of society, so he has never been afraid to speculate on others with the worst malice.
If you look at the world through such dark eyes, the world will naturally be dark.
"Girls won't like this kind of uninteresting man."
Mouri Kogoro patted Lin Shinichi on the shoulder and added:
"If you continue like this, you will definitely not be able to find a girlfriend."
Lin Xinyi's cheeks twitched slightly when he heard:
This sentence is superfluous, uncle.
"Well, thank you for your teaching."
Lin Xinyi also replied with a concerned look:
"Uncle, you too, stop drooling over young girls like Miss Yoko."
"If you continue like this, your wife will definitely not come back."
Maori Kogoro:""
The two of them stared at each other, and the farewell ended in such a harmonious atmosphere.
Maori Kogoro is about to leave with his daughter and the oil bottle at home.
But Lin Xinyi suddenly stopped them and dragged Conan over:
"Wait a minute, I have something to say to this little brother."
"Huh? Do you have something to do with Conan?" Both Kogoro and Mao Lilan had doubts in their eyes.
"Yes, this little brother's performance just now was really wonderful."
"He's not even afraid of corpses and can still find so many clues. I have to praise him."
Lin Xinyi squeezed out a Zuckerberg-like mechanical smile, like a touched and pleased elder, and patted the Conan child's smart big head with "encouragement".
Conan's mouth twitched when he was touched by this big hand, but he still had to pretend to be innocent.
Just like that, he was quietly pulled aside by Lin Xinyi:
"Why are you touching my head?"
Conan asked while rolling his eyes while busy arranging his hair that was messed up by Lin Xinyi.
"I touched your head to confirm whether the head on your neck is still there."
Lin Xinyi's face suddenly darkened:
"You brat, did you agree to keep a low profile and disguise yourself? What were you doing at the murder scene just now!"
"It's outrageous enough to run around next to a dead body, but you actually opened your mouth to induce the police to solve the case?"
"Someone will definitely find out something is wrong!"
"Uh, no, right?"
Conan replied with some guilt:
"Those police officers couldn't even notice the water stains on the ground, so how could they notice something was wrong with me."
"Are you overestimating their insight?"
Lin Xinyi: ""
Hey, what this guy said seems to make some sense.
"This won't work either!"
Lin Xinyi patted Conan's head again angrily.
He suddenly discovered that this guy's head was slightly larger than that of an average child and felt very tactile.
"Now the black organization probably thinks you are dead, and there is also Kidd, an enemy who is helping you take the blame."
"In such a good situation, you can't help but come out on your own?"
"Then the case can't be solved without you?"
"Well," Conan felt a little aggrieved: "Without me, at least those guys from the exploration department wouldn't be able to complete their work."
Lin Xinyi: ""
When he goes to the Metropolitan Police Department for training tomorrow, he must scold those bastards!
"Anyway, please be honest with me!"
"A primary school student is in the limelight at the crime scene every day. What if he gets on the news one day?"
Lin Xinyi expressed his worries:
Although when he peeked at the information in Miyano Shiho's office, he did not find any case of "experimental subjects becoming smaller after taking medicine" in the experimental records.
But he was still vaguely worried, worried that the black organization might already know that APTX4869 had the special effect of making people smaller.
In that case, if interested people in the organization see Conan's appearance on TV, it is possible that this pushy brat will be exposed.
"You have to know that you just became smaller, not plastic surgery."
"With the same reasoning ability as Kudo, and the same face as Kudo when he was a child, he will probably attract others' attention!"
Lin Xinyi said seriously.
"No, I wear glasses."
"Even Xiaolan, who grew up with me, can't recognize that I am Kudo, and it's even harder for others to find out."
"This" Lin Xinyi was startled for a moment, then immediately realized:
That's right, after this guy puts on glasses, his appearance obviously doesn't change much.
Why didn't even Xiaolan realize that Conan actually looked exactly like her childhood sweetheart?
Could it be that the glasses in this world are actually the same as the glasses in the Superman world, with a "magic disguise" function that makes people unrecognizable as soon as they are put on?
"I do not care!"
"In short, you must control your 'detective addiction' for me!"
Lin Xinyi finally expressed his stance forcefully:
If Conan is exposed, his help to this brat will also be exposed.
As soon as this kid comes across a case, he gets carried away and forgets about his character. Sooner or later, he will be dragged into the quagmire with him.
"It seems that I still have to tell Miss Mao Lilan about this."
"Only by letting her watch you to death will it be possible to control this reasoning madman like you."
Lin Xinyi made such a decision.
It turns out that he preferred not to tell Xiaolan because he wanted to keep the secret that would threaten his personal safety within the most limited scope to prevent hidden dangers.
But now it seems that Conan himself is a hidden danger.
Lin Xinyi was a little worried if he didn't find a reliable guardian for him.
"Tell Xiaolan? Wait!"
Hearing this, Conan was so frightened that he hugged Lin Xinyi's thigh as he was about to leave:
"No, don't tell Xiaolan first."
"Huh?" Lin Xinyi frowned slightly: "Why don't you want Xiaolan to know so much?"
"This" Conan was speechless:
He had indeed wanted to say it, and he had the opportunity to say it, but at that moment, Xiaolan's bed was too clingy.
It's like a high school student who barely gets up early despite not getting enough sleep. The moment he presses the alarm clock and shrinks back into bed, it's too late.
Besides, since I was already late for bed anyway, should I rush to school now and be scolded by the teacher, or should I just break the pot and take the opportunity to sleep more?
Conan expressed that he wanted to sleep again.
"Anyway, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future!"
"Even if I encounter a case and find clues, I will try to keep a low profile."
Conan assured so seriously.
"Okay." Seeing Conan's serious stance, Lin Xinyi temporarily gave up the idea of reporting to Mao Lilan.
But he still doesn't quite understand Conan's choice:
"I said, is it really okay for you to keep hiding it like this?"
"If nothing else, if 'Kudo' just keeps disappearing like this."
"Aren't you afraid that someone will take the opportunity to poach you? Aren't you afraid that Xiaolan will wait too long and simply fall in love with someone else?"
"This" Conan's expression is extremely subtle:
Don't tell me, that's all he's worried about.
Although he is always submissive when it comes to expressing his love, he is always brave enough to take the lead when it comes to jealousy.
"No," Conan comforted himself: "Xiaolan won't forget me so easily."
"Besides, she doesn't know any other men."
Other men, in the context of Conan, specifically refer to men who are charming and talented, whose appearance and IQ are not inferior to him, and who are very close to Xiaolan and will pose an obvious threat to him.
At present, the only men of the same age that Xiaolan can come into contact with are the boys from the same school she met in Didan High School.
So, although I feel a little sorry for my classmates when I say this
But Conan still has to say something confidently:
Even those mediocre people want to poach him, Kudo Shinichi?
Hahahahaha, the fluorescence of the rotten grass is no match for the bright moon in the heart of heaven!
Conan laughed secretly in his heart.
And at this moment, when he was extremely confident in his own charm,
Mao Lilan suddenly seemed to have finally made up his mind to make an important decision, and came over with an uneasy look on his face.
She didn't come to Conan, but to Lin Xinyi.
"Mr. Lin Xinyi."
Mao Lilan bit her lip gently and murmured at the corner of her mouth, as if she was brewing something she was embarrassed to say: "Actually, I have been having an idea in my mind recently."
"It may be a bit sudden to say it, and I don't know if you can agree to it."
Conan: "????"
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed a very important guy when he was calculating potential love rivals.
Mao Lilan, on the other hand, didn't notice Conan's wonderful expression at all.
She looked at Lin Xinyi hesitantly and continued:
"Mr. Lin Xinyi."
"If possible, can you be mine?"
"No!" Conan was so suppressed that his face turned green: "I don't agree!"
Mao Lilan: "????"
"I want Mr. Lin to be my teacher and teach me the knowledge of forensic investigation."
She looked at this little guy who seemed to have taken a shot of gunpowder with a puzzled look on his face:
"Conan, why don't you agree?"
