Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 380 Lan's Thousand-Layered Routine! (Seeking monthly votes!)

"Although it seems normal for patients to give flowers to doctors. After all, giving flowers or gifts to doctors usually represents gratitude to doctors..."

As Conan explained, he completely forgot to continue asking about Mouri Ran and became so obsessed that at the end he even forgot about Mouri Ran's existence. He threw the medical record directly on the table, then jumped from the chair to the ground, walked to the bouquet and toys, and began to observe them carefully.

At this moment, he was completely unaware that the look in Mao Lilan's eyes as she looked at him became more and more strange.

"But... the morning glory specially grown in the greenhouse and the letter make people feel quite strange."

Not to mention that the flower language of morning glory is illusory love, and sending this kind of flower with bad symbols will only bring unnecessary unhappiness to the other person. Is there really anyone who would grow a pot of flowers in a greenhouse just to thank others?
Thinking of this, looking at the pot of morning glory in front of him, Conan's brows couldn't help but frown.

He felt that there must be something wrong with the letter and the pot of morning glory.

And that something wrong may very well be the sender's real purpose.

Taking in the expression on his face, Mao Lilan approached Conan with a smile, an inexplicable light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

The more I look at this kid, the more he looks like a high school detective who only cares about cases.

In other words, apart from being a little younger, she is almost exactly the same as her childhood sweetheart in other aspects.

Whether it is the love for reasoning or the habit of solving cases!
Even his appearance could be said to be a smaller version of the other!
But are there really two people in the world who are so similar?
She thought it was impossible.

Rather than believing that Conan only looks like her childhood sweetheart and has similar habits and style, she would rather believe that the little boy in front of her who is immersed in the pleasure of reasoning is her childhood sweetheart!

"You even know this? Conan, you are really amazing!"

It's so amazing that he doesn't look like a child at all. Instead, he seems like a strange being with the soul of a famous detective inside!
Thinking of this, Mao Lilan's eyes flickered, and the strange color in her eyes became more and more intense. Finally, she simply narrowed her eyes and said to Conan who was immersed in the idea of ​​solving the case: "It's really worthy of... It's really worthy of being Shinichi!"

Ever since she began to doubt Conan, all the things that she used to take for granted began to seem more and more wrong in Ran Mouri's mind.

Ran Mouri felt that there was definitely something wrong with Conan, the child who was living in her house.

Even if the other person is not her childhood sweetheart who has been missing for a long time, he is definitely not an ordinary person!

Listening to Mao Lilan's praise for himself, Conan scratched the back of his head with his left hand and laughed happily, "Ha... Yeah! Uh!"

Because he was completely unprepared for his childhood sweetheart, Ran Mouri, and was now completely immersed in the pleasure of solving the case, Conan stepped directly into the trap set by Ran Mouri without realizing it.

It was not until the moment he finished speaking that Conan realized what he had just said. His pupils suddenly shrank and cold sweat flowed down his face.

Looking at Ran Mouri who was looking at him with a meaningful expression, Conan's body stiffened extremely, and even his intelligent brain, which he had always been proud of, began to freeze.

It’s over. I was accidentally exposed. What should I do now?

"Oh?"

Mao Lilan stared at Conan with her bright eyes, his body stiff and his expression full of panic and fear, and her breathing stagnated slightly.

"Sure enough! Sure enough you... Sure enough you are Shinichi!"

Originally, she just wanted to give it a try and didn't really hold much hope.

After all, rejuvenation is something that is truly incredible.

At the very least, after living for so many years, she has never heard of anyone in history who could regain youth, nor has she seen any example of rejuvenation in real life!
However, she never expected that she would actually catch a big fish with this trap.

Conan's subconscious reaction undoubtedly confirmed her previous guess.

The other party is really not an ordinary child, but is very likely her childhood sweetheart who has been missing for a long time!
"You...what are you talking about? Sister Xiaolan!"

Ran Mouri's aggressive questioning finally brought Conan back to his senses from the surprise and disbelief that he had accidentally stepped into the trap set by his childhood sweetheart, thus exposing his true identity. While staggering backwards, trying to buy himself time by increasing the distance, Conan was thinking frantically with his clever brain.

Because, no matter what, he couldn't let his childhood sweetheart know that he was the high school detective Kudo Shinichi.

After all, the matter of him becoming smaller involved too many things and was too dangerous!

He must not bring this danger to the people around him.

Especially, Mao Lilan, the girl he has always liked since he first met her in the Sakura Class!
How should I put it? Should I say that Shinichi Kudo is a nationally renowned high school detective who has shown strong IQ and reasoning ability since he was a child and is known as the "savior of the Japanese police" and the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era"?
Not long after, he, with his strong emergency response ability, came up with a solution that was not a solution.

That's just making jokes and pretending to be confused.

"No, I'm Conan... Conan!"

Although pretending to be confused may seem unreliable at first glance, it's his fault that he can't think of any other useful methods for the time being.

Moreover, no matter whether it is a good idea or a bad idea, as long as it can fool his childhood sweetheart, it is a good idea for him!

It's a pity that Ran Mouri would never believe his pretending to be confused. In the end, not only did Conan fail to fool his childhood sweetheart Ran Mouri, but he was forced by her to take a few steps back.

"Oh no, haha, hahaha..."

He took two steps back and looked at Ran Mouri, who was standing up and looking at him seriously, as if she would not give up easily unless he gave her an explanation. Conan felt that something was wrong.

"Oh no! I've been discovered! If my true identity is discovered, those guys will definitely come looking for me and kill me! By that time, not only me, but even Xiaolan and the others will be implicated! We must keep it a secret from her."

His identity must not be revealed.

After all, once his true identity is exposed, not only his life will be in danger, but it may also endanger everyone around him, causing them to suffer serious threats and persecution.

For example, Kogoro Mouri and his childhood sweetheart in the Mouri Detective Agency where he is staying temporarily, and his neighbor, Professor Agasa...

These are people he cares about very much, and he really doesn't want to see them in danger because of him.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to keep this news secret today. While thinking, Conan's steps back paused slightly.

Because he felt as if he had touched something.

He subconsciously looked back and found that what was blocking his steps was a pile of toys, a pile of familiar-looking toys.

However, they are the toys that the unknown sender has sent to Mr. Ogawa over the years.

——Because they were worried that clues about the sender’s identity might be hidden in this pile of toys, everyone brought them with them when they came to the Mika General Hospital.

However, because there were probably too many toys to carry with them, after they arrived at the Beihua General Hospital, they piled the toys that the mysterious sender had sent to their client, Dr. Ogawa's son, in the corner of the archive room.

Looking at the pile of toys, Conan suddenly had an idea.

Perhaps, he could use these toys...

Thinking of this, Conan turned around and stretched out his hands towards the toys. At the same time, he did not forget to use his acting skills to confuse Mao Lilan...

"Wow! It's an amusement ride! And there's also the sword's adventure!"

As an elite second-generation whose father is the world-famous mystery novelist Yusaku Kudo who won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, and whose mother is the former world-famous movie star Yukiko Fujimine (later changed her name to Yukiko Kudo), Shinichi Kudo inherited his father's reasoning ability and his mother's good looks. Thanks to his wealthy family background and his parents' enlightened educational philosophy, Shinichi Kudo learned various skills under the training of his father since he was a child, and is also able to use multiple languages ​​​​proficiently and is familiar with the customs and habits of many countries.

In addition, under the influence of his mother, the talented actress Yukiko Fujimine who chose to retire at the age of 20, he not only knows how to use French digital gestures, but also has a strong ability to imitate. When using the bow voice changer, he is good at imitating other people's personalities and tones. When necessary, he will play different roles to collect evidence and guide the suspects to tell the truth.

It was also because of this that when he pretended to be a child and picked up two toys from the pile of toys, the eager expression and actions of a child seeing his favorite toys made his childhood sweetheart Ran Mouri stunned.

Conan, however, didn't care at all. He just crossed his legs, sat on the ground, and happily played with the play equipment he found in the toy pile.

"Sword on! Destroy Onimaru!"

While playing the game, he did not forget to turn around and share his feelings with Mao Lilan, "Hey, it's so fun!"

Looking at Conan who turned back and continued to play the game in his hand seriously, trying to get away with it by being cute, Mao Li Ran frowned slightly.

"It looks like it was done on purpose!"

What an abrupt transition, so abrupt that she was embarrassed to expose it!
His acting is pretty good, he looks like a real kid.

If she hadn't stayed there the whole time and just stood there quietly watching someone's performance, she might have mistaken him for a real child when she saw him for the first time!
“That’s even weirder!”

If someone doesn't have anything to hide, why would they suddenly act like a real child?
unless……

Looking suspiciously at Conan who was playing the game excitedly like a real child, Mao Lilan had a lot of thoughts in her mind, "Is Conan really Shinichi?"

But why is the other party unwilling to admit his identity?
Did he not believe her? Or was there something he couldn't tell her?

"Besides, this isn't a science fiction movie. Could something as incredible as this really happen in reality?"

Rejuvenation, this kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, is somewhat unbelievable!
Is her childhood sweetheart really the little boy in front of her?

Or was it just because the two of them were so similar in every way that she mistakenly thought that the other person was her childhood sweetheart?

Just when Mao Lilan was lost in thought, a huge explosion suddenly occurred on the interface of the game console that Conan was playing. It turned out that he accidentally lost the game.

"Oh! I almost passed!"

Conan sighed regretfully, turned his head, looked at Mao Lilan next to him, and asked with a smile: "Sister Xiaolan, do you want to play?"

Although these two tricks, such as using cuteness to get away with it and changing the subject, are old-fashioned, they are very effective.

Look, hasn't his Xiaolan forgotten to continue asking about his identity?

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but feel relieved.

That’s great, I finally managed to fool his Xiaolan temporarily.

If the other party continued to ask questions, he really didn't know what to do.

However, I can't be so careless next time, otherwise things will be difficult to handle.

After all, he can't be so lucky every time, nor can he think of a good way to get away with it every time.

Moreover, if he is suspected too many times, then no matter how naive his daughter Xiaolan is, she will probably suspect that there is something wrong with him! !

"what?"

Mao Lilan was slightly startled.

Conan kept smiling, "You'll probably like this a lot, right?"

Hearing this, Mao Lilan finally came back to her senses from her thoughts, smiled, and rejected Conan's proposal, but for some reason, her smile was a little complicated, "No, you play!"

No matter whether Conan in front of her is her childhood sweetheart or not, she will know the truth once she goes back and tells her boyfriend what happened today!
After all, her boyfriend is a famous detective who is far superior to her childhood sweetheart, who is known as the "savior of the Japanese police" and the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era" in terms of reasoning ability and other aspects!
I believe that as long as the other party takes action, they will be able to find out the truth of the matter!
"Yes...really?"

"Then I'll continue playing! Uh, huh?"

In order to prevent Ran Mouri from noticing something was wrong, Conan had to turn around and continue pretending to be a child playing games.

But at this moment, he suddenly discovered something was wrong.

"Huh? This is it?"
