Stay away from Conan.

"What? In the afternoon is the three-way talk? I..."

On the second day after returning to Tokyo from Osaka, Xiaolan and Conan went to school normally because nothing happened.

In the morning, when Xiaolan heard the head teacher mentioning that in the afternoon, the teacher, students, and parents of the students in Class B of the second year will face to face, discussing the performance of the students at school or at home, and the path the students want to take in the future. The three-way interview day of the discussion is the so-called "way out guidance" in high school.

For this reason, due to a lot of things that happened during the previous holiday, Xiaolan forgot to talk about this matter with Kogoro Mouri, so she couldn't help but seem very anxious——

"What's the matter, Xiaolan? You haven't told your parents about it yet, have you?"

As for this, hearing Xiaolan sitting at the front table make such a voice, Sonoko Suzuki in the back row couldn't help but patted Xiaolan on the shoulder and asked Xiaolan in a low voice.

And hearing this, Xiaolan turned her head, nodded slightly, and replied with a slightly wry smile:
"Well... because a lot of things happened this holiday..."

"oh, I see……"

Hearing Xiaolan's answer, Sonoko couldn't help but nodded silently——

"Mori-san! Suzuki-san! Don't whisper during class!"

However, just as Xiaolan and Yuanzi were talking like this, the female head teacher standing on the podium noticed their actions and warned them a little angrily.

Immediately, upon hearing the teacher's words, Xiaolan and Yuanzi quickly sat upright and kept silent.

"Also, Mori-san, do you know where Kudou-san is? Will he come to the three-way talk in the afternoon?"

"Ah? This..."

Hearing this, Xiaolan was startled at first, then lowered her head uncertainly.

However, the homeroom teacher seemed to just emphasize it, without asking Xiaolan's answer, and continued the class——

"That's right, Xiaolan, where's that fellow Shinichi? Didn't you just meet him not long ago? About today's three-way talk, he should come no matter what!"

As for this question, Yuanzi couldn't help but asked in a low voice when he heard the question from the head teacher.

"This... I don't know..."

I really don't know, Xiaolan can only answer this question when faced with this question.

Hearing this, Yuanzi couldn't help but glanced out of the window beside him, and said with some sighs:
"Hehe, that guy is really free..."

"Suzuki-san!"

However, noticing that Yuanzi was talking again, the homeroom teacher continued to yell at Yuanzi seriously, which immediately made Yuanzi shut up again in fright, until the end of this class, he stopped talking——

In this way, a class will pass soon.

During the break after class, Yuanzi, who had been holding back for a long time, finally seemed to be relieved, and sighed on the table——

"it is finally over……"

Seemingly resting on the table for a while, Yuanzi got up quickly, and then continued the topic of conversation in class to Xiaolan, asking:

"Then Xiaolan, who are you going to call over this afternoon?"

"This one……"

Speaking of this, I thought that Mori Kogoro went out with Police Officer Megure to investigate the matter about Murakami Jo, and also thought that last night Fei Yingli said that she was not busy with work recently, so after thinking twice, she still said:

"Let me see if my mother is free..."

"That's right, it's really disturbing that your father came to school like that to talk about your future guidance..."

As for Xiaolan's choice, Yuanzi expressed his own opinion very casually, and then it was the previous question:
"But, what about that guy Shinichi?"

"I don't know, he probably doesn't know that there are three parties to talk about today... I'll try to see if I can contact him..."

After speaking, Xiaolan borrowed the mobile phone from Yuanzi, and first called Fei Yingli to explain the situation, but unexpectedly, Fei Yingli agreed immediately.

However, for the next thing that she wants to contact Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan can only try to contact Dr. A Li first, to see if Dr. A Li can contact Kudo Shinichi, and tell him about the three aspects of the discussion, and The result is just "try to find a way".

There was nothing good to do about it, so Xiaolan had no choice but to just wait.

And around noon, Sonoko's mobile phone received a call from Kudo Shinichi, and after Xiaolan answered it, he got a reply from Kudo Shinichi——

He said that he couldn't come for the three-way interview, and his parents were still overseas and couldn't come.

Of course, if the homeroom teacher asked about her future, Xiaolan would just answer for herself as a "detective", and she would hang up the phone without expressing anything else.

Regarding this, Yuanzi, who was listening to the conversation between the two, could only express helplessly and clearly:

"Sure enough, it's what that guy would say!"

So, since Kudo Shinichi has said so, there is no other way. In the afternoon, Fei Yingli came to the school and completed Xiaolan's three-way talk. Because there is no other course arrangement, Xiaolan Following Feiyingli and Yuanzi who deliberately waited for Xiaolan to leave together, the three of them left the school together——

During the interview, because of Xiaolan's excellent academic performance and good performance in the karate department, after learning that Xiaolan plans to go to higher education, the teacher did not mention Xiaolan too much. Kudo Shinichi did not show up in the end, and Xiaolan is the person who is most familiar with Kudo Shinichi's situation in the school, so he casually asked Xiaolan about Kudo Shinichi's situation.

So, Xiaolan talked about Kudo Shinichi's career plan as a detective.

As a result, the teacher immediately became worried because of this. Although Kudo Shinichi had excellent academic performance, he had already missed too many classes because of being a detective, and he hadn't come to school for a long time. This inevitably made the teacher very worried about Kudo Shinichi's future.

But unexpectedly, Fei Yingli, who was present at the time, said something to the teacher:
"What's wrong with being a detective?"

It directly made the teacher a little bit embarrassed, so this three-way talk was hastily ended.

"Mom, how can you talk to the teacher like that."

After walking out of the school, Xiaolan stared blankly at Fei Yingli next to her. She never thought that Fei Yingli would say such a thing at that time.

"That's right, isn't Aunt Eri always saying that Uncle Kogoro is a stupid detective, and that being a detective is simply incomprehensible?"

Yuanzi on the side also asked in doubt.

"Although I said so, it seems that my mother still understands my father's work and loves my father."

But soon, Xiaolan smiled and said as if she understood Fei Yingli's actions.

"What are you talking about, that person is a stupid detective... However, from the perspective of the detective job itself, it is indeed a useful job for the society."

It seemed to be disgusting, but it was more like defending herself, Fei Yingli said.

"Really, mother is not honest at all..."

Seeing Feiyingli's reaction, Xiaolan couldn't help saying, very relieved.

"A husband and wife can't get along just because they like each other."

But at this point, Fei Yingli still said with a serious face.

"Ah, is it?"

Xiaolan asked puzzledly, and Yuanzi also had the same puzzled attitude.

"Yeah, you will understand when you get married. When you like someone, you can ignore many of his shortcomings, but after you are really together, you will start to endure many things..."

With that said, Feiyingli looked at Xiaolan with a serious face, and said pointedly:
"Xiao Lan, you have to think clearly!" (End of this chapter)
