Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 358: A kid driving a big car! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"Okay, I'm going out now!"

The next morning, after preparing breakfast for her useless father who had no ability to take care of himself and saying hello to him, Mao Lilan prepared to go out.

"Hey, Xiaolan! Bring back a rich man."

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, pondered for a moment, and then took the initiative to speak well of one of his colleagues, "Well, I think Bai Ye is a very good guy, why not consider him! I am in favor of you two being together!"

Although, as an old father, he actually didn't want his own cabbages to be taken away by other people's pigs so early.

But rather than letting his little girl be "kidnapped" by a high school detective who only cares about cases and even abandons his precious daughter on many occasions in order to solve the cases, he would rather let his former apprentice Bai Ye live.

After all, although they were both detectives, his former apprentice was much better than a certain high school detective.

Whether it is his means of solving cases or his attitude towards his beloved daughter, Xiaolan.

——A high school detective always has only cases in his eyes. In order to solve the cases, he even abandons his precious daughter many times, without caring whether she will be in danger. But his former apprentice is different. Although he also cares about the development of the case, he cares more about the safety of those around him.

Not to mention, during this period of time, he has been treated to many fine wines and delicious food by Bai Ye.

I think no father-in-law would be dissatisfied with such a son-in-law who is not only good to his daughter but also very sensible.

He just didn't know why, but many times, when he was drunk and dizzy, he could always vaguely hear bursts of crying coming from his daughter's room, gentle and sad, but after he spoke, the sound would quickly disappear, which made him quite puzzled and confused.

"Oh! That's disgusting, Dad, what are you talking about?"

Mao Lilan glared at her father in a reproachful manner, her eyes full of shyness and unnaturalness.

How could she accept such an embarrassing topic?

Well, although, she was actually very happy that her father was so optimistic about her and her boyfriend.

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan suddenly discovered something, "Strange, Conan, why is he gone?"

She had clearly seen the other person when she woke up in the morning.

How come the other person disappeared just after we finished our meal?
Could it be that he ran out to play?

But isn’t it a bit inappropriate to go out and play without telling the adults?

But then she thought of a certain elementary school student who had run around on the Shinkansen, bumped into other people's suitcases, and even caused the social death of a poor passenger. For a moment, Mao Lilan felt that the other party's behavior of running out to play without saying a word was nothing at all...

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan shook her head slightly.

This kid Conan is really getting more and more naughty. I don’t know who he learned it from!

I hope it’s not that good-for-nothing father of hers, otherwise, the other party would be guilty of a grave crime.

……

At the same time, outside the Maori Detective Agency, a silver-gray Mercedes-Benz W210 was parked with a man and a woman sitting in the car.

It was Bai Ye and his girlfriend Suzuki Sonoko. They had been waiting downstairs for a long time.

Seeing that she had waited for so long but still didn't see her best friend Mao Lilan at the stairs, Suzuki Sonoko, who was originally sitting in the car and chatting with her boyfriend, couldn't help it. She quickly opened the car window and urged, "Xiao Lan, what are you doing? If you don't come down, we will stand you up."

Indeed, after speaking frankly yesterday, the two best friends formed a community with a shared future where they share weal and woe.

After all, neither she nor Mao Lilan wanted to break this deep friendship, and even more so, they didn't want to lose their boyfriends.

Rather than going to the end and not knowing which woman outside would get the advantage, they would rather maintain the status quo.

At the very least, no matter which of them has the last laugh in the end, they are still family!
But agreements are agreements. If the other party doesn't go to the Valentine's Day party this time, then don't worry about her being disloyal and planning to monopolize Bai Ye for a whole day and a night.

"I'm coming……"

Hearing this, Mao Lilan, who was originally looking for a missing elementary school student detective in the room, no longer cared about anything else and hurried down from the second floor.

After all, it is not polite to keep your friends waiting for a long time.

Moreover, the last time she met Ayumi, she specifically asked for her contact information.

In other words, she could just ask the other party about the whereabouts of a certain elementary school detective on the way to the Valentine's Day party. There was no need to rush.

What she didn't know was that the elementary school student detective she had been looking for had actually secretly run downstairs before she went downstairs, and then quietly ran from behind a telephone pole to the trunk of Bai Ye's silver-gray W210.

"At this point, we must find a way to find out where that box of chocolates went."

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep well even if he did!

After all, in his heart, Mao Lilan is not an ordinary girl, but the girl that he, Kudo Shinichi, has liked since he was four years old!
As a result, the girl he likes now makes chocolates specifically for another person, and these are the natal chocolates that are given to the person she likes.

How could he be willing to accept such a thing?

Therefore, even if it was just to find out the identity of his love rival and to come up with a way to destroy the relationship between the other party and his own Xiaolan, he had to go to this Valentine's Day party.

Of course, he couldn't go there openly. Otherwise, with his "acquaintance" around, he suspected that Mao Lilan might be embarrassed to give away her life-defining chocolate.

After all, he was not an ordinary child, but a child who was living in the other person's home.

In other words, he knew it, and invisibly, Mouri Kogoro, the father, also knew it.

Even if, in fact, he knew, he would not tell it.

But it was obvious that Mao Lilan would not believe him easily.

Thinking of this, Conan secretly used the lock-picking skills he learned at the technical school in Hawaii, pried open the lock of the trunk with wire, then climbed in and closed it.

……

"I'm sorry, I kept you waiting!"

Suzuki Sonoko and Bai Ye, who was sitting in the driver's seat, looked at each other and said with a smile, "Hehe, actually we didn't wait that long!" She and her boyfriend had actually just arrived at the Mori Detective Agency not long ago.

Moreover, compared with other girls, her best friend’s packing speed is very fast.

What's more, with her boyfriend by her side, she wouldn't feel bored even if she just sat in the car and did nothing.

"Okay, Xiaolan, get in the car!" Bai Ye greeted his girlfriend with a smile.

Mao Lilan greeted her boyfriend with a smile full of sweetness and attachment, "Good morning, Bai Ye."

Seeing her like this, Suzuki Sonoko pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, "Xiaolan, you only greeted Bai Ye, aren't you too ungrateful for the beauty of others?"

Being ignored like this, even she would get angry!
As for whether she was angry at Byakuya who was valued by Mouri Ran so much, or at Mouri Ran who only had Byakuya in her eyes, that depends on one's own opinion.

Mao Lilan couldn't help but glared at her best friend, "How could I!"

What do you mean by forgetting one's principles for the sake of beauty? She is not that kind of person at all!

Compared to her, her best friend is more like a person who forgets her friends for the sake of beauty, right?

No, it's not like, the other person is!

Thinking back on the past actions of her good friend, Mao Lilan looked at Suzuki Sonoko with more and more resentment in her eyes.

Noticing the look on Mao Lilan's face, it seemed that she finally realized that she really had no right to accuse her best friend of being unfaithful for a woman. Suzuki Sonoko laughed dryly and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, where is that little brat Conan? Why can't I see him?"

Normally at this time, a certain little brat would have come out and made a fuss about going with them, but today, there was no sign of him at all?
Such things are really surprising.

Mao Lilan shook her head slightly, "I don't know, I didn't see him just now!"

If she didn't want to find the other person, how could she be urged by her best friend?

"You disappeared so early in the morning?"

Touching her chin, Suzuki Sonoko turned into a famous detective and made her own bold inference, "Well, today is Valentine's Day. Do you think he will go out to date a little girl? For example, the girl named Ayumi last time. I remember that the two of them seemed to have a good time together?"

Before Mao Lilan could speak, Bai Ye immediately denied Suzuki Sonoko's bold guess, "It can't be Ayumi. He has no interest in elementary school students. If he wants to date, it will only be with a high school girl."

Others may not know which girl a certain high school detective who has become smaller likes, but as a time traveler, how could he not know?

Without a doubt, it was just a certain unicorn girl.

——No matter what type of Japanese anime work, as long as you have the strong aura of the male protagonist, there will be no shortage of admirers and followers around you.

This has basically become a potential setting in Japanese comics.

"Detective Conan", as a Japanese comic work, naturally cannot escape this cliché.

Therefore, as the absolute protagonist in the drama "Detective Conan", Kudo Shinichi naturally gained a lot of admirers in the drama.

For example, Haibara Ai.

When it comes to Haibara Ai's feelings for Kudo Shinichi (Conan), basically everyone who is a Conan fan will be unfamiliar with it.

After all, once upon a time, this emotional line was the one that the author Qingshan paid special attention to.

In particular, in the Conan movie "Sunflowers of Inferno", the author Aoyama pushed this emotional line to the top. In this episode, there was a conversation between Haibara and an old lady in an art museum.

"No, the look in your eyes now is exactly the same as mine 70 years ago, which is completely in line with the flower language of sunflowers. I only have you in my eyes. But if you just watch without taking any action, you will regret it sooner or later. People, you have to wait until you lose something before you understand what is the most important thing."

The sentence "I only have eyes for you" is the best interpretation of Haibara's feelings for Kudo Shinichi (Conan) in the Conan drama.

For example, Masumi Sera.

Among Kudo Shinichi's many "admirers", Sera Masumi is the character who appears most frequently in Conan dramas.

In the Easter egg of Conan TV version "Detective Agency Incident", Sera once said to Xiaolan intentionally or unintentionally, "I found that you are also my biggest rival."

This sentence can be understood as an opponent in a fight, but you can also think about it in a different way, such as in terms of emotions.

Also, in the Conan TV version "Detective's Nocturne", when everyone worked together to rescue Conan, Sera was so worried that she cried.

This kind of emotional expression does not seem to be limited to the concern between friends.

Another point is that in the ending ED of "Detective Conan", there appeared a mysterious girl with small canine teeth who had liked Shinichi since junior high school.

What is well known is that the character of Masumi Sera is a girl with tiger teeth in the Conan drama.

In other words, the mysterious girl who has always liked Shinichi is Masumi Sera.

In fact, the reason why the author set up so many emotional lines for the protagonist Kudo Shinichi is, on the one hand, to enrich the plot content, but more importantly, to highlight the firm emotional line setting between the male and female protagonists.

After all, he even rejected so many beautiful women who liked him. Who dares to say that the male protagonist Kudo Shinichi doesn't love his childhood sweetheart Mouri Ran?

Of course, now that he is a time traveler, not to mention the heroine of the original work, Mouri Ran, even girls like Haibara Ai, Sera Masumi, and a certain elementary school detective, have no chance.

Because he is a very domineering and greedy person, there is no way he would give these coveted treasures to a high school detective who only cares about the case!
Not to mention, both Mouri Ran and Miyano Shiho are now his girlfriends.

He did not give his woman to others and let others cheat on him because of his special hobby.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan looked at each other in surprise, "Is this true? That little guy Conan actually likes girls who are so much older than him?"

How could they have imagined that this little brat Conan actually had a girl he liked?

The other person is only six or seven years old now, right? When you were six or seven years old, you already had someone you liked? Are you so precocious?

And the girl he likes is not someone of his own age, but an older sister type of girl who is ten years older than him?
Could it be that precocious children even have different aesthetic views from other children of the same age?
Or do kids nowadays like to drive big cars?

For a moment, the two women couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
