Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 927 What happened to the coffee shop
"By the way, what time do you and your mother have dinner?"

At this time, while Conan and the others were still waiting for Dr. Ali and Xiao Ai in front of Mihua Station, on the other side, Xiaolan, who had gone out long before Conan, was shopping with Sonoko on the street.

And knowing Xiaolan's plan to meet Feiying tonight, Yuanzi couldn't help asking Xiaolan a question along the way.

"Seven o'clock."

Raising her hand to look at the time displayed on the watch on her hand, Xiaolan responded like this.

"I think this time is also your arrangement, right?"

Regarding this, out of understanding of Xiaolan, Yuanzi couldn't help asking with some certainty.

"Ah."

Nodding her head, Xiaolan didn't deny it.

But for this answer, Sonoko was a little helpless, sighed and said:
"You really worked hard enough! It must be ten years since your mother left home?"

"Yes, I was only seven years old that year..."

When this matter was mentioned, Xiaolan looked a little lonely and lowered her head, and said in a slightly depressed mood:
"I just remember that they had a big fight. The reason for the separation... I heard that the two of them had different personalities."

"Not long after they separated, your mother became a lawyer, and life began to become more colorful..."

In this regard, Sonoko recalled what she knew, and couldn't help but continue:

"But looking at it the other way around, your dad quit his job as a police officer and started working as a little-known detective... Oh, yes, although your dad has suddenly become a detective now, but you have to Let me tell you, if you didn't follow him, he might have been ruined long ago."

Saying that, seeming to feel very reasonable about her own judgment, Sonoko still cared about herself, and nodded slightly.

"I think... it shouldn't be so miserable."

Facing Yuanzi's remarks, Xiaolan said somewhat euphemistically:
"However, my mother used to say that about him."

"So I don't quite understand..."

Speaking of this, Sonoko said a little incomprehensibly:

"Since their relationship is like this, why haven't they divorced yet? It's you, Xiaolan, who have been caught between them all the time. You have tried to restore their relationship several times but have not succeeded?"

"So, they must still have each other in their hearts!"

When mentioning this point, Xiaolan seemed to say so firmly.

"Really……"

Seeing Xiaolan say this, Yuanzi couldn't help showing a relieved smile on his face, and said:

"Then I hope your arrangement tonight will have some effect..."

In this way, when Yuanzi and Xiaolan were walking and chatting, the two had already arrived in front of the mall. At this time, Yuanzi looked at the many billboards in front of the mall and found one of them related to the new book signing event. Behind the billboard, Yuanzi raised his hand to look at the time displayed on the watch on his hand, and said slowly:
"Ah, it seems that there is still some time before the autograph session starts, why don't you go have a cup of coffee first?"

"Okay."

Nodding her head, Xiaolan has no objection to this proposal.

So, Xiaolan and Yuanzi walked to the coffee shop on the first floor of the shopping mall—

"Hey? Isn't this Dr. Ali?"

And just when the two of them entered the coffee shop and were about to find a place to sit down, Xiaolan suddenly noticed that in the coffee shop, Dr. A Li, who was wearing a white coat, was sitting at a table in the coffee shop. Before, drinking coffee and eating cake.

"Ah, it's Xiaolan and Yuanzi!"

In this regard, upon hearing Xiaolan's voice, Dr. Ali couldn't help raising his head, and seeing the two people who appeared here, Dr. Ali couldn't help but respond with some surprise:

"Why are you here?"

"Yuanzi and I are here to go shopping."

Facing Dr. Ali's question, Xiaolan responded with a gentle expression.

"It's Dr. Ali, why are you here?"

On the other hand, Yuanzi couldn't help asking suspiciously.

"Ah, this is..."

Hearing Sonoko's question, Dr. Ali touched the back of his head, showing a helpless expression, smiled awkwardly, and responded:

"Actually, I came here early in the morning to refuel the car. But I didn't expect that after refueling, when I drove around here, there was something wrong with my car and it couldn't start..."

"So while you're waiting for the trailer, you're here to eat?"

Sonoko guessed after listening to Dr. A Li's remarks.

"Hahaha...Actually..."

"Dr. Ali... huh? Miss Xiaolan and Miss Sonoko?"

And at this moment, just as Dr. Ali was about to explain with a wry smile, behind everyone, a person who had just entered the coffee shop suddenly said to Dr. Ali and the others, and listening to the voice, all three recognized him. That voice is Gao Yuan.

Looking back, I saw Gao Yuan, who was wearing a light blue jacket, coming to the store, and walked to the seat where Dr. A Li was sitting——

"Ah, Gao Yuan, you're here."

At this time, seeing Gao Yuan present, Dr. A Li seemed a little happy and said:
"Then I will trouble you here...I have to pick up the children..."

While saying this, Dr. Ali suddenly saw Xiao Ai's figure coming out from behind Gao Yuan——

"Hey, Xiao Ai, why are you here?"

A little surprised, Dr. A Li asked.

"I went out a little late, and I just heard the call from the doctor and Gao Yuan, so I simply came here together."

With an indifferent expression, Xiao Ai replied like this.

"what's up?"

For those who didn't quite understand, Sonoko asked curiously about the current conversation between Gao Yuan and Dr. A Li.

"Oh, it's like this. Dr. Ali originally took Xiao Ai and Conan to the museum to play together today, but I didn't expect Dr. Ali's car to have a problem, so I wanted to ask me to help."

Gao Yuan explained this, and then said to Dr. A Li:
"Don't worry, doctor, I will help you find a way to get your car back."

"That's right, then Gao Yuan will trouble you!"

Hearing Gao Yuan's explanation, Dr. A Li quickly finished the coffee and cake in front of him, then got up, and was ready to leave.

Seeing this, Xiao Ai nodded to Gao Yuan, then followed in the footsteps of Dr. A Li.

However, before going out, Dr. Ali was still a little anxious. After asking the clerk of the coffee shop about the location of the toilet, he hurried to the toilet—

However, just a few seconds after entering the toilet, Dr. A Li ran out of the toilet even more panicked, as if he had been frightened by something, came to Gao Yuan panting, pointed to the toilet door behind him, Hastily said:
"Gao, Gao Yuan, something seems to have happened inside!"

Immediately, Gao Yuan was taken aback when he heard what Dr. A Li said, and then hurriedly ran towards the toilet——

As the toilet door was pushed open, looking in, Gao Yuan saw that in front of the door of the innermost toilet room, there was a pool of blood flowing out from under the toilet door.

For a while, seeing this scene, Gao Yuan frowned slightly, took out gloves from his pocket, put them on, and then carefully stepped forward and tried to push the door of the toilet room, but found that it couldn't be pushed, and it felt as if he was caught from the inside. After something was blocked, Gao Yuan put his hands on the wooden partition between the toilets, jumped up, and looked inside from above——

I saw a woman in her twenties stuck behind the door, lying in a pool of blood...
