Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 275: Friend, enemy, or new character? (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"Since Shinichi isn't here, we won't bother you. Dr. Agasa and Conan-kun, let's just..."

But before she could say goodbye to Dr. Ali and others, Dr. Ali spoke first and interrupted her speech.

"Wait...wait a minute, Xiaolan, I'm sorry, can this child stay at your house temporarily?"

"Eh?" Mao Lilan blinked doubtfully.

Isn't the little boy named Edogawa Conan in front of her a relative of her childhood sweetheart?
Even if you want to stay, you should choose to stay at the other party’s home, right?
"Are you kidding me?"

Mao Lilan here was very puzzled by Dr. Agasa's "arrangement". As the object of stay, Kudo Shinichi directly resisted.

Seeing this, Dr. Agasa quickly covered the mouth of "Edogawa Conan" to prevent him from ruining his plan: "This child's parents were hospitalized due to an accident, and they are temporarily staying with Shinichi. However, , You also know Xinyi’s current situation, so he asked me to take care of him, but I am a single man after all, and I really don’t know how to take care of children.”

"So... Xiaolan, I wonder if I can let this child stay at your house for a while and help take care of it?"

Of course he knew it was not good to make such a suggestion rashly.

After all, no one likes a stranger suddenly intervening in their life.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye's eyes flickered for a moment.

It is true that Dr. A Li's reaction may be to promote the plot, but it is really abnormal.

Of course, this does not mean that he has a tendency to be self-indulgent.

Simply because, after acquiring Mao Lilan's body and mind, and Kudo Shinichi changing from a high school student to a six-year-old kid, the other party poses no threat to him at all.

No, on the contrary, letting Conan stay in the Maori Detective Agency is more likely to bring danger to Maorilan!
However, a certain doctor knew this, but still chose to do this. It was difficult for Bai Ye not to suspect that there was something wrong with him.

unless……

What's more, his girlfriend is about to move in with his mother, Eri. Conan's living in the Mori Detective Agency will not affect her at all, let alone have much interaction with her. .

Moreover, even if the two sides inevitably meet for various reasons in the future, he also believes that as long as he is here, Conan, a pervert, will never have any chance to take advantage of his girlfriend!

However, he is really not very good at taking care of children, or in other words, he does not have the time and energy to take care of a child.

After all, as a scientist, he often conducts experiments at home and rarely goes out for activities.

Wait, could it be that the other party, like his sister Bei, stopped aging for some reason? Or, have you done transactions with the organization? Or is it simply someone from the organization?

After taking a deep look at Dr. A Li, Bai Ye's eyes flashed with a strange color.

In this world, if you take good care of yourself, you can indeed reduce aging and stay young, but if you want to be like Fusae Campbell Kinoshita, a person who is obviously almost fifty years old looks like a seventeen or eighteen year old. It is difficult for a little girl to be so young and beautiful.

Moreover, Kudo Shinichi's incarnation as Edogawa Conan is only six years old. He is still just a child. Without a guardian, he will easily be criticized and arouse the suspicion of interested people.

As for letting Edogawa Conan, a "fake elementary school student", stay at his girlfriend's house, Byakuya didn't have any objections to this.

However, it would undoubtedly be inappropriate for Conan to live with him and let him be the guardian.

Because if you don't tell Mao Lilan the truth about the matter, you are afraid of putting him in danger, but wouldn't it be okay if you let Edogawa Conan stay in his house?

Suspicious, really suspicious!

Such a "daily arrangement" is really not very conducive to Conan's investigation of the truth.

Thinking again, Dr. A Li's first love was a fashion designer who was obviously two or three years younger than Dr. A Li, but showed no signs of aging at all. Instead, he was as youthful and beautiful as his sister Bei. , Fusae Campbell Kinoshita, the founder of the Fusae brand, Bai Ye’s eyes couldn’t help but look a little dark.

Even though that child is not a child in the ordinary sense, but a "child" who only looks like a child on the outside, but inside he is a 17-year-old high school student. He does not need to worry about many things!

"This..." Mao Lilan pursed her pink lips and glanced at Conan with some embarrassment.

Although she sympathized with the little guy in front of her, she was also willing to take care of him.

However, the commission fees her father has earned recently are really not much, and it is barely enough for the two of them to live on. If there is one more person, then the daily expenses will be even more stretched.

Moreover, as a man and woman in love, she and her boyfriend naturally cannot avoid being intimate.

However, because he does not plan to make this relationship public for the time being, even if he is intimate with his boyfriend, it can only be done secretly.

For example, let her boyfriend sneak up from the window late at night or something...

Under normal circumstances, there is no problem with this operation.

After all, her father likes to drink. As long as the other party is drunk, even if she and her boyfriend make a big noise in the room, her father will not be able to hear it, let alone know that she not only has a boyfriend , and we have gotten to know each other countless times.

But if there is one more person in the house, that is not necessarily the case.

Especially, that person is still a child.

After all, children are very energetic and like to run around and make trouble.

If she accidentally saw her boyfriend climbing through the window and making out with her, she would be so ashamed that she would want to commit suicide on the spot.

Wait, she doesn’t seem to be living at home lately?

After all, her mother, Concubine Yingli, was so disappointed that she planned to divorce her father because of the series of bastard things her father had done.

As a daughter, she needs to comfort her mother during this time, and see if she can find a way to make her mother change her mind and give up the idea of ​​divorce.

In other words, during these recent times, she was not living in the Maori Detective Agency, but in her mother's house.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that the commission fees earned by her father are not enough for daily expenses, and there is no need to worry that the scene of her being intimate with her boyfriend will be accidentally seen by others, and then lead the children to bad things.

Oh, no problem then.

"sure……"

Thinking like this, she looked at Bai Ye beside her, and then after thinking for a moment, Mao Lilan nodded gently, "But I have to discuss it with dad first."

He was about to move to his mother's place to live with her. It would be too pitiful to leave his father alone.

It would be better to let Conan live with her father, so that the other party can have company and not be too lonely.

It's just that one is a loser who has never cooked before, and the other is a child of only six years old. Can these two people really take care of themselves when they live together?
Mao Lilan had some doubts about this. Dr. A Li said with a smile on his face, "Really? Yes, then you are willing to take him in!"

Sure enough, he knew that Xiaolan, the child, could not be more kind.

Mao Lilan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, "Eh..."

Although she didn't mind letting the little boy Edogawa Conan live in her home, she was confident that she could convince her father to agree to this matter.

But after all, she hasn't asked her father yet, and she doesn't know what he thinks of Edogawa Conan as a child at home.

She really couldn't make a decision easily before getting her father's consent.

It's a pity that Dr. Ali didn't give her a chance to speak. "Xiaolan, please wait a moment. I will explain things to Ke...Conan."

After that, without waiting for Mao Lilan's reply, he hugged Conan and walked out of the study.

Because he was so nervous during the whole process, he forgot to release his big hand covering Conan's mouth, so that Conan could hardly breathe.

It wasn't until Conan, who couldn't bear it anymore, angrily pulled Dr. Ali's beard that he got a chance to breathe.

"It hurts!" Dr. Ali couldn't help but grimace in pain.

Shinichi, this brat, actually exerted so much force.

I really don't know how to respect the old and love the young.

Poor old man, he still has to suffer this kind of old sin at his old age.

What, the other person is just a six-year-old child now, a toddler?

Oh, that's okay.

Staring at him angrily, Conan was speechless, "If you want me to live in Xiaolan's house, what should I do if my true identity is discovered?"

The reason why he was unwilling to tell his childhood sweetheart that he was Kudo Shinichi was because he was worried that it would bring danger to him?
But Dr. A Li is so good, now he wants him to stay in the home of his childhood sweetheart?

What's the difference between doing this and telling the other person the truth directly?
No, it's even better to tell the other person the truth directly.

After all, if you tell Mao Lilan, your childhood sweetheart, the truth about the matter, then the other person's character will definitely keep this secret and prevent others from knowing it.

In this case, even if the two men in black know that he is still alive, they will only eliminate the three insiders: him, Dr. A Li, and Mao Lilan.

However, if he chooses to stay at the Maori Detective Agency, then it will not only be him, Dr. Agasa, but also his childhood sweetheart who will be in danger. In addition, there are also people related to the Maori Detective Agency. people.

For example, Suzuki Sonoko, who often goes to school and plays with Mao Lilan, her best friend, Mao Lilan's mother, Police Officer Megure, etc...

Patting Conan on the shoulder, Dr. Ali said seriously, "Listen to me, sooner or later those men in black will know that your body has not been found, and the first people to be suspected will be the people entering and leaving the house."

Once the black organization knew that Kudo Shinichi, a nationally renowned detective known as the "Savior of the Japanese Police" and the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era", did not die after being given a poison called "APTX4869" , then the other party will definitely find a way to investigate matters related to Kudo Shinichi, the high school detective, such as interpersonal relationships, residence, etc...

However, people who often come in and out of this house will undoubtedly become the first target of the other party's investigation.

After all, when Kudo Shinichi, the "master", disappeared, he often came to the other party's home, which was problematic no matter how you thought about it.

By then, in order to investigate the truth of the matter, no one can guarantee whether they will use some illegal means.

For example, surveillance, illegal intrusion into other people's homes, or kidnapping, etc...

Regarding this, how could someone as smart as Kudo Shinichi not know, "Then isn't it okay if I live in your house?"

Dr. Ali has already become an insider, so it would be better to simply make the same mistake again and again and live directly in the other party's home, so as not to have another "insider" who would increase variables and risks.

Dr. Ali said seriously, "If you want to return to your original state, you must first find the people who gave you the medicine, right?"

Only by knowing the ingredients of the drug can he analyze the antidote and how to make it based on those ingredients.

Conan curled his lips, "That's right..."

But this has nothing to do with him living in the home of his childhood sweetheart.

Taking in the expression on his face, Dr. Ari said meaningfully, "Shinichi, don't forget, Xiaolan's family is a detective agency!"

Since it is a detective agency, it is inevitable to be exposed to various commissions.

And as long as you accept enough commissions, you might have a chance to encounter cases related to that organization.

"Ah, that's it!"

After hearing this, Conan instantly understood what Dr. Ali was thinking, "Maybe we can find information about them!"

Although Mouri Kogoro is a bit of a loser, he is still a private detective.

Maybe, through Moori Kogoro's identity, he could find out the true identities of the two men in black and find out what the poison he took was.

Dr. A Li nodded heavily, "That's right!"

"I see."

Conan narrowed his eyes and made a decision in his mind.

According to Dr. A Li's plan, he will live in the home of his childhood sweetheart Mao Lilan.

As for why, since they are both detectives, he chose to stay in the home of Kogoro Mori, a private detective, instead of choosing Byakuya, a rookie in the detective world?

the reason is simple.

Naturally, it was because his young and beautiful childhood sweetheart Mao Lilan was in the Maori Detective Agency.

Who would want to live with a stinky man when he can live with a young and beautiful girl?

Not to mention, that stinky man is still his love rival!
