Conan: I am really a good person

Chapter 390 He passed away
The atmosphere inside the car was subtle.

Conan quietly leaned his head out of Mouri Ran's arms and looked at the back seat. He looked to the left and saw Ichijo Mirai smiling and speaking slowly.

Ichijo Mirai was looking at Suzuki Sonoko. Today he was observing her more carefully than usual, as if he was not sure whether this liking, which was so obvious that she couldn't hide it, was due to her cheerful, lively and cute nature, and her love for everything in the world, such as flowers, plants, animals, decorations and passers-by, or her admiration for him.

In fact, there is no need to doubt this. Conan only needs to glance at Suzuki Sonoko with his peripheral vision. Even if it is just a vague glance and he can't see the subtle expressions on her face, he can tell that it is definitely admiration.

For something that can be confirmed at a glance, with the ability of the future, does it require a more serious attitude than a detective investigating clues to a murder, observing without leaving any trace and confirming repeatedly?
It's as if Suzuki Sonoko doesn't have a crush on a young, capable and handsome guy, but rather a crush on a perverted criminal like Hannibal.

Conan became more and more serious. He observed Ichijou Mirai for another ten seconds and had to be sure of one thing: Ichijou Mirai didn't pay any attention to him at all.

When talking with Suzuki Sonoko, it was obvious that Ichijo's gaze was not always fixed on her face. Most of the time, his eyes were in the air or looking at the front row, but his peripheral vision was always on his side, and his attention was not on most of his field of vision, but on his side which only occupied a small area of ​​his field of vision.

His open gaze moved evenly several times to the front seat, Mouri Kogoro, the car window, Mouri Ran in the passenger seat, the other car and the rearview mirror, but he did not notice Conan looking back.

Even their eyes met once.

Because the focus is not on Conan.

Conan gradually narrowed his eyes and stared quietly at the future. After a few seconds, he shifted his gaze with hatred and looked at Suzuki Sonoko.

Probably when they were out today, Mao Lilan couldn't bear it anymore and whispered, "Actually, Mr. Future likes you too. Every time you ask him out, he will come out, but he seems to have some concerns..." When they were alone in a small environment, Suzuki Sonoko's nervousness and embarrassment became more obvious. She lowered her eyes and scanned around, as if she was strictly examining the wear and tear of the car.

Yes, 'alone together'. Although there were five people in the car, she obviously felt that she was alone with Ichijo Mirai.

Of course, although she was more nervous than usual, Suzuki Sonoko was still talkative, just a little too much. When she talked to Ichijo Mirai, she almost always spoke immediately without pausing for even a second, which obviously led to her speaking her mind, and every time this happened, her face would heat up a little.

When she was speaking her mind, she would quietly turn her head to look at herself in the car window three or four seconds after she finished speaking, and then close her eyes, as if she was injured by the boss's ultimate move and was about to fall, but she was saying, "Suzuki Sonoko, what's wrong with you, Suzuki Sonoko, cheer up!", deeply hit but trying to be strong.

Occasionally, she would look at Mao Lilan in the front seat. A few glances could restore some of her health.

Of course, he didn't notice Conan at all.

Conan: "..."

But someone is paying attention to Conan: Mao Lilan.

After staring at the two people in the back seat for a long time but not getting any attention, Conan cleared his throat and was about to speak when he cautiously turned his head to look at Ran Mouri who was approaching.

Mao Lilan smiled brightly and said in a gentle tone: "What's the matter, Conan?"

She was incredibly gentle, "Want to chat with Mr. Future?"

There is murderous intent in the air.

Conan: "..."

He immediately shrank his neck and laughed dryly: "Ah, ahaha, how could that be, I won't disturb Sister Sonoko, hahaha."

"Okay," Mao Lilan sat up with satisfaction, and continued to half turn her body to peek at the back row, "Sonoko is chatting with Mr. Future. It's rude to interrupt, dear child, don't do it."

It is indeed impolite to interrupt, but it is obvious that Ran Mouri did not smile and ask Conan to shut up because it was impolite.

Conan muttered inwardly for a few seconds, then, with the threat of a terrifying but not fatal murderous aura, he seized the opportunity to interrupt with the microphone, "Wow, Future Brother is so awesome!"

Ichijo Mirai and Suzuki Sonoko were talking about a murder case.

If they talk about other things, it is very likely that one of them will not be very interested. Fortunately, there is a murder case in their intersection. Yi Tiao is a detective in the future and he will definitely be interested in the murder case. Even if he is not interested, he will not be disgusted. It is a perfect topic to improve favorability.

Coincidentally, Suzuki Sonoko is very experienced in murder cases. Except for Mouri Ran, Mouri Kogoro, Conan and a few children, no one can say in front of her "I have some knowledge of murder cases", no one!
Because no one has encountered more murders than them...

Suzuki Sonoko only needs to recall a little to easily bring up a dozen murders, and has enough bargaining chips to keep the conversation going for months.

No one understands her bargaining chips better than Ichijo Mirai, and no one respects her more than him: every time she travels with Conan, they encounter a murder case. In this situation, she can still mention Conan like a gentle sister next door, praising her own child's talent. She has a really good temper.

...like a rabbit.

A rabbit that grows up in a harmless environment. When it buries its paws and rubs its ears while washing its face, it won't get angry if someone suddenly pinches its fluffy short tail. It will just glance at the rabbit in confusion.

Compared to him, Conan is a tough nut.

Ichijou looked over at the voice and gave a polite smile to the criminal who was a thorn in his side. "No one is as good as you. You often find incredible evidence at the crime scene from a child's perspective. You are a smart little Mr. Sherlock Holmes."

He observed the young Mr. Holmes for a few seconds, and met his scrutinizing gaze. He remained calm on the surface, his brows relaxed, and said jokingly, "I guess young Mr. Holmes would not choose to be 'impolite' for no reason after being reminded. Is there something wrong?"

Hey, doesn’t Conan have a good impression of him?
Why was she looking at him today with a look that was generally trusting but also contained a hint of scrutiny and vigilance?
This is the look you give to each suspect who may or may not be the murderer at a crime scene, rather than the look you give to your fellow detectives.

Conan had put away his original expression and successfully replaced it with a somewhat childish expression when searching for clues at the crime scene. He carefully raised his head and glanced at Mao Lilan who was staring at him. He smiled awkwardly and then pretended not to notice the chill on the back of his neck. He said cheerfully to Ichijo Mirai, "Mirai-niang is amazing. He can always grasp the doubts and deduce the possible murderer from the cases recounted by Sonoko-niang. He is just like the legendary armchair detective!"

"I'm curious, did my future brother often solve cases in the past? He's really amazing. Yuanzi's eyes are full of stars!"

He is sending a signal.

The signal to Mao Lilan is: I am not activating my naughty child personality and deliberately destroying Suzuki Sonoko's "alone time".

The signal to the future is: Yes, I am not a real child. It is strange to speak in the innocent tone of a child, but I am using the identity of a child to assist you, so that you can say more of your advantages to gain the favor of the object of your admiration. Well, it is really just like that. Suzuki Sonoko received the attentive signal of "Sister Sonoko, I am assisting!", but she looked at the future and for some reason, she felt that he did not seem to relax just now, so she crossed her arms and stared at Conan.

Conan sneered at her and then perked up his attention to observe the future.

He noticed that the future had a serious look on his face, and after a few seconds he said, "It's just that I've been in contact with murder before."

"If you're talking about solving a case, then you've solved one, right? But it wasn't a detective-style case. It was when I was walking on the street with a friend and accidentally discovered a fugitive among the passersby."

It was about capturing Gai Shouyi together with Zhu Fu Jingguang.

Shuichi Akai also told Conan about this when they were discussing the fire case, so he knew what Ichijo Mirai was talking about halfway through. He pretended to be surprised and continued, "Eh, wait, 'friend'?"

The unfinished words were deafening: Friends? What, you actually have friends? !

A future paused.

He thought slowly: Conan doesn't know about his bad state, right? Why is he shocked by this!

Who is it? Who is it that has disturbed the harem and sent Conan information involving other people's privacy!

Is it weird that he has friends?!
Well, it is strange. It is indeed strange that Gaode’s victims are willing to be his friends.

So Yitiao Weili nodded calmly, "Yes, we have been friends for a long time."

He only spoke briefly, without explaining why the adjective was 'a long time ago', and showed an attitude of not wanting to talk more.

Conan immediately said, "Hey, then, ah!"

"Conan actually meant that he has never heard Mr. Future talk about topics like friends," Mao Lilan manually helped to close the microphone and quickly explained, "Conan has been troubled by the topic of making friends recently, and he is very curious about this aspect."

She looked down at Conan, hesitated, and then continued, "Is it a friend from abroad? Mr. Future is now living in Neon, so it's not convenient to meet, right?"

"No, it's a friend I made in Japan, but it's not convenient to meet now," Ichijo Mirai thought for a moment, swallowed the words 'After I divorced the FBI, both the husband and the wife belonged to me', and switched to a normal and conventional speech, "It's easy to meet my friend from abroad now. He also came to Japan for work, and he's probably going to settle down there."

Although it may only be a few months, in reality it may be forty or fifty years. Isn't this a form of illegal settlement?
He smiled at Conan and said gently, "It's okay. In fact, I'm also surprised that I have friends."

Conan touched his swollen head and continued to inquire with some resentment: "What about the family? Future brother never mentioned his family."

Although the inquiry was awkward, he looked at Suzuki Sonoko while speaking, and his meaning was quite clear: I am asking on behalf of Sister Sonoko, as an assist.

Suzuki Sonoko didn't say anything. She first looked at Ichijo Mirai's expression. She didn't intuitively feel that he was unhappy about this question, but she pricked up her ears curiously.

Ichijo Mirai narrowed his eyes.

Conan would not inquire about his family for no reason. He would definitely inquire because he had doubts.

He understood why Conan looked at him with caution today: probably when someone was telling Conan that 'Ichijo Mirai is a very wicked guy, so wicked that he has no friends', he also mentioned something about 'Satan'.

Conan's current attitude is probably that he was shocked and alert when he heard that the Jinshui he thought was actually... ahem, related to the werewolf by blood, and they were twins.

I just don't know how much the snitch actually said.

With the value of Satan taking the blame increasing day by day, Yitiao Weilu could accept this strange setting without blinking an eye. His thoughts turned instantly, and he pretended to be silent for a few seconds before saying, "My family's words..."

"My parents died when I was very young. Apart from my aunt and her family, I only have one relative."

Is it 'older brother' or 'younger brother'?
They are all so strange and subtle that it is hard to speak of!
He paused before coming up with a relatively better name, "Brother."

"younger brother?!"

Everyone in the car shouted in surprise and were shocked in unison.

Whether it was Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran who knew about it for the first time, or Conan who had already known about it and was pretending to be shocked to follow the crowd, they all looked extremely surprised.

Even Kogoro Mouri, who was driving, was forced to look back with his pupils trembling, and then he quickly turned his head back to drive.

"Well, I have a younger brother," said Ichijo Mirai without changing his expression, "I never mentioned it before, just because..."

Because he died because of taking the blame.

This was arranged by Mr. Shuichi Akai.

But with the existence of time, Ichijo Future cannot catch up with the latest developments in the game. It is not certain whether after a few years, Keimitsu Morobushi and Shuichi Akai, who hit it off immediately, have been thinking about more things behind the scenes.

For example, when did 'Satan' die?

For example, whether Satan has resurrected from the dead.

For example, did Satan come back to life and when did he die?

So in the end, Yitiao Future chose a more vague statement. He said in an overly calm tone: "It's just because he died unexpectedly in an accident a long time ago."
