Conan: The Mechanic

When Maurilan returned to the passenger compartment with a heavy heart, she happened to meet the dignified police officer Nakamori.

"Miss Xiaolan," Officer Nakamori asked immediately after seeing her. "Excuse me, do you know where Mr. Mauri went?"

"Father?" Mao Lilan was a little surprised, and looked at the door of Kogoro Mouri's cabin not far away. "He's not in now?"

"Not here." Officer Nakamori shook his head. "I came here once before, and when I came to him this time, he was still not there."

"It shouldn't," Maurilan's expression was also a little confused. "Are you drinking at a bar?"

"I've also looked for it," Officer Nakamori continued to shake his head. "Neither there."

"Do you have anything to do with me?" With the sudden inquiry, Kogoro Mouri came over from the passage behind Molilan. "Officer Zhong Sen, are you looking for me?"

"Mr. Maori, we are looking for you," Officer Nakamori breathed a sigh of relief. "Come on, let's continue to see our plan."

"Seriously, I feel that this plan is already very detailed. Is it really necessary to continue it?" Kogoro Mouri sighed and asked. "How long have we been discussing?"

"Anyway, Kidd should stop for a while after this operation is over," Officer Nakamori also had a helpless expression on his face. "At that time, I must take a good vacation."

"There's no way," Kogoro Mori shook his head with a wry smile. "Really, I haven't worked so hard for a long time."

"Dad, where have you been?" Maurilan asked curiously. "Officer Nakamori didn't find you at the bar just now."

"I went shopping just now, nothing." Kogoro Mori shook his head. "Officer Nakamori, let's go."

"Yeah." Officer Nakamori nodded, and the two walked into the distance together.

When Maori Kogoro and Maurilan passed by, Mauri Kogoro's sleeve rubbed against Maurilan's forearm.

The clothes were so cold that Mao Lilan's arms trembled. For some reason, Maurilan always felt that something was wrong, so she just stood there and looked at the direction where Maori Kogoro left.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard as if someone was calling his name.

"Sister Xiaolan?"

"Hey..." Mao Lilan still didn't come back to her senses, she just replied dumbly.

"Sister Xiaolan?" This time, the voice of the person calling her name was more determined. "Sister Xiaolan!?"

"Ah!" Only then did Mao Lilan wake up and looked in the direction of the voice - it was Conan with a stunned face, and Ayumi was following behind Conan, just looking at Conan in a daze.

"Sister Xiaolan, why are you here?" Conan asked. "What are you thinking about?"

"Ah..." Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "It's okay, just thinking about something... But why is Ayumi with you?"

"Uh..." Conan glanced at Ayumi behind him, and only then did he realize that Ayumi's eyes were a little... fanatical? "Uh, Ayumi?"

"What's wrong?" Ayumi answered immediately.

"That..." Conan asked rather embarrassedly. "You...don't look at me like that, I'm a little nervous."

"Ah, okay!" Ayumi nodded, then immediately changed to a very serious expression, but her eyes were still fixed on Conan's eyes.

"Hey, Conan," Maurilan squatted down and looked at Conan with a rather playful expression. "What's your relationship with Ayumi?"

"It doesn't matter!" Conan shook his head immediately, and after hearing this answer, Maurilan immediately seemed to have a premonition that he would see something interesting, and immediately turned his eyes to the direction of Ayumi, and then she saw nothing unexpectedly. Ayumi's eyes dimmed for a while, but soon returned to normal.

"Ayumi?" Mao Lilan looked at Ayumi and asked again.

"..." After a moment of hesitation, Ayumi nodded. "Yes, it doesn't matter."

"Um..." Mao Lilan's expression was quite subtle, she crossed her arms and stood up again. "Is that so?" Saying this, her eyes swept across Conan's face, and after not scanning any valuable information, she looked at Ayumi.

Compared to Conan, who was a big kid with a frank face, Maurilan still felt that Ayumi's expression was easier to read.

What kind of expression is this? Maurilan couldn't tell, but she might be able to guess—she had seen eyes like this before.

That was an expression her former best friend often showed.

She met the girl in the cheering area of ​​a school football game that Kudo Shinichi participated in when she was in middle school. At that time, the girl held Kudo Shinichi's cheering slogan just like her. After that, they became good friends who said nothing, and they often cheered Kudo Shinichi together in the competitions Kudo Shinichi participated in.

But later, Mao Lilan discovered that the girl seemed to have encountered a change and became a little unhappy~www.readwn.com~ Even when chatting with her, she often lost interest. Moreover, if Kudo Shinichi stayed at the training ground to practice football after school, and Maurilan went to see him after his self-study, sometimes the girl could often be seen - she was just leaning quietly on the periphery of the training ground The barbed wire fence stood still for a long time, looking in the direction of Kudo Shinichi.

After that, the relationship between her and Maurilan gradually became subtle. Although she would still say hello when they met, she stopped cheering when she was cheering on Kudo Shinichi in the arena, and just sat quietly in a corner of the audience area. His eyes followed the figure of Kudo Shinichi quietly, and he would not come to chat with Maorilan again.

Mao Lilan didn't know the specific details at the time, but as she went to high school and occasionally met some female fans of Kudo Shinichi, she probably guessed what was going on.

If she guessed correctly, it was an expression of looking at her sweetheart—with the added condition that the sweetheart probably couldn't like her.

Then, who is Conan carrying in his heart?

Mao Lilan once heard an answer that Ayumi speculated from Ayumi's mouth, although she did not accept it at the time - at that time, Ayumi said that the person Conan liked was her Maorilan. For this reason, Conan's heart can no longer hold a second person.

But... Maurilan glanced at Conan who was looking at her curiously.

If at the time she thought it was impossible, now she seems to really feel that the situation is a little delicate.

Compared with ordinary children, Conan does pay more attention to himself, and often takes some risks for himself - more than once, since Conan came to live in their house.
