Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 471 Xiao Ke discovered something wrong

Mihua Municipal Hospital.

There were figures walking in the corridor on the fifth floor of the hospital's inpatient department. Because this was the VIP area, only a few patients lived here, and Conan was honored to be sent here after the operation.

Xiaolan stayed to accompany the patient last night, so naturally she would not have nowhere to stay like in an ordinary ward, lying on the edge of the bed for the night. There was a special accompanying bed in the ward, which was no worse than the beds in high-end hotels except that it was a little smaller.

When Shimizu Hiroji and the other two arrived, Xiaolan was still busy making the bed.

At the door of the ward, Koji Shimizu glanced at Xiaolan in the ward, then glanced sideways at Yukiko beside him. Although he didn't really want to do this, he still reached out to stop Yukiko.

"Wait a minute, Yukiko, have you thought about what to say?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"You don't have any 'legitimate' reason to come and visit Conan now." Shimizu Koji was very thoughtful.

But Yukiko didn't understand. "Why is there no reason? Even if I can't recognize Shin-chan publicly, he is still the grandson of my grandfather's brother's daughter's cousin's uncle!"

Koji Shimizu's arm, which was stretched in the air, froze a little.

No, you can remember all this! ?
"Um, okay, sorry, it's my problem."

Koji Shimizu withdrew his arm and knocked on the door. Xiaolan, who was inside, heard the sound and leaned over. She saw the three of them, led by Yukiko, at a glance.

"Hey, yes, Aunt Yukiko! Are you here to visit Shin--, Conan?"

In the ward, Conan on the hospital bed had naturally woken up a long time ago, but he had just been looking up at the ceiling, thinking about life. When he heard Xiaolan's voice, he immediately propped himself up and sat up.

"M--, Aunt Yukiko!?"

Xiaolan and Conan were naturally shocked by Yukiko's arrival, and after a brief panic, Conan cast a vicious look at Shimizu Koji without hesitation.

"Oh, it's Xiaolan. You've worked so hard. I just happened to return home and heard Shinichi call me and said that the child was injured and asked me to come over to take a look."

"Oh, yes, did Shinichi call you and tell you that?" Xiaolan was stunned and looked back at Conan in confusion. She didn't remember Conan calling her.

But she soon realized that this was most likely just a lie told by Yukiko.

But Yukiko didn't avoid the topic directly. Instead, she nodded confidently and continued, "Yes, he said that he is currently in Hokkaido dealing with a rather difficult serial murder case and cannot leave, so he asked me to help look after his little apprentice."

"Hey, apprentice?!"

The fight between Yukiko and Xiaolan can be said to be an all-round crushing victory. Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai watched quietly from behind, and they both suddenly wanted to eat some melon seeds at the same time.

Facing Xiaolan's surprise, Yukiko first glanced at Conan casually, then sat down on the bed, stroking Conan's head while continuing to say with a smile:

"Yeah, didn't Shin-chan tell you, Xiaolan? Ever since Conan came to your office, this little guy seems to be very interested in detective things, so he gradually got in touch with Shin-chan."

Yukiko's explanation was very logical and flawless. Xiaolan nodded half-believingly, but still retained her doubts.

In fact, Yukiko's sudden appearance today has deepened her suspicion. So, now unless Kudo Shinichi and Conan appear in front of her at the same time, no one can dispel her suspicion.

Yukiko naturally noticed this, so she said a few simple words, expressed her normal concern and condolences to Conan, and then took the initiative to change the subject.

"By the way, Xiaolan, I heard from Shinichi that you will hold a school celebration in two days?"

"Yeah, that's right." Xiaolan was a little confused and a little nervous.

"Is that so? Would you mind telling me which day it will be?"

"Eh? Shinichi, didn't Shinichi tell Aunt Yukiko?"

"I asked, but that brat refused to tell me, saying he wanted to give you a surprise or something."

"Ah, I need to go to the toilet! I need to go to the toilet!" Conan suddenly yelled, interrupting the conversation between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. Among the people present, only Xiaolan didn't know why he suddenly fell ill. Others, including Yukiko and Haibara Ai, knew all about Conan's little thoughts and sneered at him.

"Brother Koji, can you take me to the bathroom?"

"no problem."

Conan called out her name, and since she was also a boy, and with Shimizu Koji present, it was impossible for Xiaolan to be humble and refuse, so Shimizu Koji directly helped to pick up the IV bottle and accompanied Conan to the bathroom.

As he left, Xiaolan and Yukiko continued their communication. When the door was closed, one could even hear Xiaolan's surprised cry.

"Oh, really?! Shinichi, Shinichi will be back at school on that day."

"Shimizu--" Conan's voice was almost gritting his teeth, his face was dark, and if you didn't know, you would think Shimizu Koji was the enemy who murdered his father.

"Why did you call my mother back? And why did you tell her what we had discussed?"

Conan is really confused now. When he heard that his big-mouthed mother had revealed his surprise plan in front of Xiaolan, he suddenly felt that the gunshot wound in his abdomen didn't hurt anymore and he just wanted to find a rope to hang himself.

Yukiko: "Yeah, he seemed to be participating in a show, and he said he wanted to give you a surprise."

Xiaolan: "Eh?! Show, show?! Surprise——?!"

The clever Xiaolan naturally thought of her own show and the only possibility of this so-called surprise, and her little face immediately turned red.

In the bathroom, Conan's face turned red with anxiety, depression and embarrassment.

But facing his strong questioning, Shimizu Koji didn't mind his attitude. He just shrugged and pushed him to sit on the toilet seat. "Do you want to go to the toilet? If so, I'll leave first."

"No."

"That's fine. I'm not interested in seeing your little bird."

"Ahhh! Shimizu!" Conan was a little bit crazy.

"Okay, you think I did something wrong?"

What's right?

Conan was silent, but his eyes spoke volumes.

Shimizu Koji gave him a slap on the head without hesitation: "Well, I will mercifully explain this to you, you stupid high school detective with zero emotional intelligence~."

"First of all, Yukiko is your mother, so, knowingly, it is my necessary duty as a friend to inform her."

"Secondly, the second point, which is your so-called plan, is an indispensable part of your mother's help. Without your mother's disguise skills, who else do you think I can find to help put on makeup for Xiao Ai?"

"Finally, the point that you should be most concerned about right now is why I told your mother about the plan we discussed."

Koji Shimizu paused, looking at Conan, who was confused, gradually calming down and drooping his shoulders, as if he saw a green hat on his head.

"Regarding the third point, let me explain it in a different way. I will just ask you a question. In the kissing scene in the play that you and Xiaolan were going to perform, if you got your wish and got on stage in time to replace the actors, and completed the kissing scene, but before the answer was revealed, would Xiaolan, the heroine, know that the person under the mask was you?"

"Will she acquiesce to the kiss because she has to perform, or will she reject you? If she accepts the kiss, does she know that you are the male lead?"

"Yes, I know what you want to say is that Sonoko didn't agree to play the role of the Black Knight, and there's nothing wrong with kissing a girl like Sonoko, but unfortunately, from what I understand, the final male lead is still that Dr. Arata."

At the end, Conan's face finally glowed green. Although the actual situation would be very complicated, if it was really Dr. Shinichi, the kiss might be misplaced, etc., but the possibilities mentioned by Shimizu Koji are still very likely to happen.
And if Xiaolan chose to kiss the male protagonist without knowing that the male protagonist was Kudo Shinichi, although the male protagonist might be himself in the end, what exactly would that kiss mean?

However, Koji Shimizu did not think so much. In fact, even if he kissed Dr. Akai, it would not be a big deal because he was just an outsider. Moreover, he also knew the true identity of Dr. Akai, who was also a woman, Vermouth. For him, there was certainly nothing worth caring about.

But if you look at it from the boyfriend's perspective, it is indeed worth pondering.
