Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 385: Online romance? I’m Detective Yin! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Maori Detective Agency.

As night falls, street lights slowly light up, illuminating the way home for people.

Conan walked briskly outside and opened the door of the detective agency. He walked in with a book in his hand. "I'm back!"

After entering the office, Conan first glanced around subconsciously, only to find that Maori Kogoro, the owner of the office, was not there. He could not help but look at Maori Ran who was packing things on the coffee table, and asked curiously: "Sister Xiaolan! Where is Uncle Maori?"

However, even though he asked, he actually hadn't seen the other person and just asked casually.

After all, Kogoro Mouri is not a child anymore, could he be lost?

Moreover, if Mouri Kogoro was really missing, Mouri Ran, as his daughter, would have probably called the police immediately. How could she be cleaning the house so leisurely and not in a hurry at all?

Looking up at Conan, whose little face was full of relaxation and comfort, a strange color flashed in Mao Lilan's beautiful eyes.

It seems that during this time away, my childhood sweetheart has already thought of a solution!

I just don't know what the other party's response will be this time, and whether they can defend against her tricks!

"Conan, you're back? You must be hungry. What do you want to eat today?"

As she spoke, Mao Lilan picked up the documents that she had just sorted out on the coffee table and walked to the cabinet at the door and put them away.

As she was talking, she suddenly changed the subject and said casually, "Oh, yes! Mr. Kishida, the physical education teacher, seems to be getting married soon!"

Hearing this, Conan, who was sitting on the sofa and reading a book, answered subconsciously without raising his head, "Ah! That gorilla teacher!"

Unexpectedly, the gorilla teacher is also going to get married!
When he was in school, he thought that because of the other person's appearance that was no doubt like that of a gorilla, he would live out his life alone!

It’s only been a short time and the other party is no longer single and is about to get married?
This is incredible!

I'm really curious about who the other party's bride will be, what she looks like, and why she fell in love with his physical education teacher!
As soon as he finished speaking, Conan heard a "bang" sound.

It turned out that it was Mao Lilan who closed the door.

While pressing the keyhole on the door handle, Mao Lilan looked at Conan, her expression full of seriousness and earnestness, "Why do you know about my high school teacher, Conan?"

While the guy was off guard, she locked the door first to prevent him from trying to escape!
This time, she wanted to see what excuses the other party had!
Conan was startled when he heard this. His eyes became vague and he stammered as he said to Mao Lilan: "Huh? I just heard what you said! Sister Xiaolan, don't you always call him a gorilla? I..."

Damn it, I accidentally fell into the trap dug by Xiaolan again!
However, why does Xiaolan like to set traps for him so much now?
Is it because the previous suspicions have not been completely resolved?

No, it seems that I must find a way to dispel her doubts today!
After all, he didn't want to be on guard against his childhood sweetheart all the time in the future. He didn't want to not only have to fight wits and courage with various prisoners outside, but also have to continue fighting wits and courage with his childhood sweetheart after returning to the office!

Although that kind of life is very interesting, it is really too tiring and thrilling!

Conan was about to continue talking when Ran Maoli walked up to him, her hands on her hips, her pretty face full of seriousness and doubt. "You're lying! I've always found it very strange, very strange!"

Whether it was the almost identical appearance or the inhuman level of reasoning, all of this was so strange!

It's okay because of his appearance, but his extraordinary level of reasoning is definitely not something a child can possess.

"Actually, you are Shinichi himself!"

"Uh? This, this...this?"

Conan was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Although he had known for a long time that his childhood sweetheart would not give up so easily, he really didn't expect that the other party would set a trap for him not long after he returned, and the topic of his identity was brought up again.

Mao Lilan did not let Conan go just because he was at a loss, but pressed him even harder, "Okay! Just admit it and tell the truth! Shinichi!"

"Jingle Bell……"

Just when Conan was racking his brain over what to do, suddenly, the phone on the coffee table rang.

Hearing the clear and pleasant ringing of the phone, Conan felt like he had heard a savior, and quickly said to Mao Lilan: "Sister Xiaolan, there is a phone call!"

"The phone call is not important!"

Mao Lilan didn't care about the phone call at all. She stared at Conan and pressed him step by step, "Just tell me the truth!"

The most important thing for her now is to force out the true identity of the little boy in front of her!
As for the others, they can all come at the back!
"But...but..."

Conan glanced at Ran Mouri who was staring at him hungrily, and then looked at the phone that was still ringing next to him, and he hesitated to speak.

"Okay... okay, I'll go answer the phone..."

Listening to the phone that kept ringing, as if it would ring forever if no one answered it, Mao Lilan sighed helplessly.

Judging from the appearance of the phone call, the person on the other end seems to have something important to say. It would be impolite to just ignore it and not answer it.

And if there is something urgent, it would be bad if it was delayed accidentally.

Anyway, a certain Conan is now trapped in a jar, and we can deal with him at any time.

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan walked to the coffee table angrily and took the phone from the phone, "Hello? This is Mao Li Detective Agency!"

The next moment, a familiar voice sounded from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Xiaolan! Long time no see?"

"Shin... Shinichi? Is it really you? Shinichi!"

Hearing the familiar voice coming from the other end of the phone and looking at Conan who was scratching his head and grinning foolishly on the sofa, Mouri Ran was suddenly dumbfounded.

What was going on? This time the call was from her childhood sweetheart?

You know, she had previously suspected that Conan, who had excellent reasoning ability, was not a real elementary school student, but the younger version of her childhood sweetheart.

In fact, she believed it firmly until just now.

But who could have imagined that just when she was interrogating Conan and trying to get him to admit his true identity, the real owner actually called back. For a moment, Mao Lilan was shocked and surprised.

What she didn't know was that the person on the other end of the phone was not her childhood sweetheart, the famous high school detective Kudo Shinichi, but an old man wearing a white coat, with a round face, glasses, a beard, gray hair, a little baldness, and a fat belly.

It turned out to be her childhood sweetheart and neighbor, Dr. Agasa.

"What? Xiaolan! Hey! It's been such a long time since we last met, have you already forgotten my voice?"

Holding the bow-tie voice changer he invented, Dr. Agasa leaned over the phone, pretending to be a high school detective, "I'm so glad I remembered to call you. You're such a heartless guy!"

There is also a guy who just wants to reveal the secret and needs my help. What a joke!
Thinking of this, Dr. Agasa couldn't help but roll his eyes.

——I still remember that at that time, he was in his room, doing experiments and preparing to invent new things.

As a result, not long after he got into the state, a primary school student started knocking on his door.

He just walked out to open the door reluctantly, and saw Conan running in with a serious face, and then gave him a new task, "Doctor, it seems that Xiaolan found out about my affairs. When I go back later, can you use the bow voice changer and my voice to call Xiaolan for me?"

"Please, Doctor!"

"ok, I get it!"

If possible, Dr. Agasa really doesn't want to help.

After all, the beginning of a lie means the need for countless lies to cover it up.

Moreover, a certain high school detective does not intend to tell Mouri Ran the truth of the matter and his true identity, which is both a lack of trust in Mouri Ran and unfair to her.

Unfortunately, he really couldn't persuade his neighbor, so he had no choice but to agree to help him.

"Thank you, Dr. Agasa! You're so nice!"

After thanking him, Conan handed the bow voice changer to Dr. Agasa, and after staying in his room for a while, he set out on the road back to the Maori Detective Agency...

……

"Hey! Xiaolan! Are you listening? Xiaolan!"

Listening to the familiar voice coming from the other end of the phone, and looking at Conan who was kneeling on the sofa and scratching his head innocently, Mao Lilan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, "So, did I misunderstand?"

What a misunderstanding!

She didn't believe that the person on the other end of the phone was the real Kudo Shinichi.

Because she believed that her intuition would not be wrong.

Most importantly, she trusts her boyfriend's judgment.

——After returning to the Maori Detective Agency, she took some time to talk on the phone with her boyfriend, and told him what happened today and her suspicions about a certain elementary school student.

Her boyfriend's judgment was that her suspicion was correct, Conan was not a real elementary school student, but her childhood sweetheart!
She believed that her boyfriend would not make a wrong judgment. Moreover, as far as she knew, her boyfriend had mastered the art of voice changing and could imitate anyone's voice.

Since voice changing exists, there are naturally props that allow people to imitate other people's voices.

Maybe this time, it’s someone else who is helping with similar props!
For example, a certain doctor!
Perhaps it is difficult for other people to do this, but Dr. Agasa is not an ordinary person. As a big man with a doctorate in engineering, it is not impossible for him to invent a prop that can imitate other people's voices with his abilities!
"Uh? Xiaolan, what are you talking about? What did you misunderstand?"

Hearing this, Dr. Agasa, who was pretending to be Kudo Shinichi, asked subconsciously.

Mao Lilan smiled and said, "No...Nothing, you heard it wrong!"

Since the other party didn't want her to know her true identity, she would just pretend not to know.

She wanted to see what the other party wanted to do by hiding his identity, and how long he could keep it secret.

"By the way, Shinichi, why do you seem like an old man now? It's a bit strange!"

On the other side of the microphone, Dr. Agasa, who was using the bow-tie voice changer he invented to disguise himself as Kudo Shinichi's voice, was suddenly startled and couldn't help but sweat a few drops at the corners of his eyes.

Wow, Xiaolan, this girl, has such a sharp intuition!

He just said a few words, but could people already tell the difference between him and that guy Shinichi?
Sure enough, he knew that this mission would be difficult!

No, Shinichi must give him extra benefits, otherwise he won’t help the other party next time.

Of course, we have to fool Mao Lilan first.

Thinking of this, he laughed out loud, "Ah! Really?! Hahaha!"

"That's great, I finally survived, I survived!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Conan, who was sitting on the sofa, patted his chest and finally felt relieved.

Fortunately, he predicted his childhood sweetheart's thoughts and asked his good neighbor Dr. Agasa for help, otherwise, he might not have been able to escape this disaster today!

But this guy, the doctor, really imitated the tone.

And you understand his tone and personality too well, right?

If he didn't know that he was Kudo Shinichi himself, and that he was the one who found Professor Agasa to impersonate him, he would almost have thought that the person on the other end of the phone was actually the famous high school detective Kudo Shinichi?
Should I say that he is a good neighbor who has known him for many years and understands him?
Well, I've decided. If there's a crisis of my identity being exposed in the future and I need to find a way to dispel suspicion, I'll continue to ask Dr. Agasa for help.

After all, one thing does not require two masters, and as the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar, and the third time is skillful. Maybe, after playing the role more times, Dr. Agasa will be able to completely fool his childhood sweetheart and make her no longer doubt his identity.

Of course, if possible, he hopes that there won't be a next time.

After all, if he is suspected too many times, even the most naive and easy-to-foolery person will start to suspect that there is something wrong with him...
