Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 608 Conan's Great Crisis! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"..."

After hearing this, Kogoro Mouri frowned and subconsciously turned to look at Bai Ye, wanting to see his reaction.

When Bai Ye heard this, a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of interest. "It sounds interesting, but who Xiaolan will be with is not something that can be decided by a duel."

"That's right, a duel doesn't decide anything at all. Xiaolan can be with whoever she wants to be with!"

Maori Kogoro snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain, that contempt seemed to freeze the air around him into ice: "Also, a duel? Humph, if that Kudo Shinichi brat really has the guts, he should come out in person and take some practical action, instead of hiding behind and letting a kid speak for him! If you don't even have the courage to face me, how can you talk about making Xiaolan happy?"

He saw how good Bai Ye was to Xiaolan.

The other party is not only considerate and thoughtful, but also able to stay with Xiaolan all the time. This is true care and protection!

As for Kudo Shinichi, not only does he make Xiaolan worried all day long, he also only knows how to talk and disappears at critical moments. Now he is hiding behind a little kid and asking him to speak well of him.

Maori Kogoro's dislike for a certain high school detective has reached its peak. Every time he thinks about him, he feels more angry in his chest...

Conan felt a pang of pain in his heart when he heard this, but he still forced a smile and continued, "Uncle, Shinichi brother... he actually has always cared about Xiaolan, but he has something important to deal with now and can't get away for the time being. But he has always cared about Xiaolan and has been trying to come back as soon as possible. Besides, this duel is a practical action. In the process of solving the puzzle, we can not only see a person's thinking ability, but also his ability to respond, which are all very important abilities to protect Xiaolan."

As Conan spoke, he nervously observed Kogoro Mouri's expression, and beads of sweat appeared on his palms due to nervousness.

Maori Kogoro sneered, his face full of disdain and dissatisfaction: "Important things? Humph, his so-called important things are nothing more than solving cases, solving cases, and solving cases again! In his eyes, the case is more important than Xiaolan! Why should I hand Xiaolan over to such a guy?"

Conan was speechless for a moment, as if his throat was choked by something and he couldn't utter a word. His heart was filled with helplessness and despair.

He knew very well that Kogoro Mori's prejudice against Shinichi Kudo was deeply rooted and could not be shaken in a short period of time.

However, he was really unwilling to let him admit defeat so easily and give Mao Lilan to Bai Ye obediently.

Because, that is the girl he loves to the core and wants to protect for his whole life!

Seeing the helplessness and entanglement on his face, Bai Ye chuckled. There seemed to be some sarcasm and pity in that smile. He turned his eyes to Conan, and his tone was meaningful: "Conan, you seem to have confidence in Kudo Shinichi. However, Xiaolan's happiness should be chosen by herself, not by the result of a game. We should all respect her true thoughts."

Conan opened his mouth, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't make any sound. He didn't know how to refute for a moment.

He knew that Bai Ye was right, Xiaolan's happiness should be decided by herself.

But he knew better that he didn't have much time.

After all, the relationship between Byakuya and Mouri Ran has been recognized by Mouri Kogoro. If he doesn't find a way to destroy their relationship and restore his original identity as soon as possible, he may really lose his beloved Ran forever.

"But……"

Conan still did not give up and tried to make a final struggle, "If Brother Shinichi can have a fair fight with Brother Baiye, perhaps you can see his sincerity and ability more clearly."

Maori Kogoro frowned, obviously not interested in Conan's proposal. He waved his hand, with obvious impatience in his tone: "Alright, stop talking about these useless things! We don't even know where Kudo Shinichi is now, how can we fight him?"

Then, he raised his voice again and added angrily, "Also, if he really cares about Xiaolan, he should come to see me in person instead of hiding behind and letting you, a little brat, speak for him!"

Conan's heart tightened, and the smile on his face froze instantly, as if it was frozen at that moment. He opened his mouth, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't make any sound. His mind was blank, and he had no idea how to answer Bai Ye's question.

Bai Ye saw Conan's expression, and the smile on his face deepened. He then continued slowly, "Or, Conan, do you have any special way to contact him?"

Conan lowered his head again, his hair covering the burning resentment and anger in his eyes, and clenched his fists even tighter, his joints turning white from the force, as if he was squeezing a hole in the air. He knew in his heart that with his current identity, he could not make a public appearance, let alone appear in front of everyone as Kudo Shinichi.

"Don't worry, I...I will find a way to contact him."

Conan stared at Bai Ye intently, his eyes were like two sharp blades, wishing to cut him into pieces. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words with difficulty. The anger in his eyes was like a volcano ready to erupt, which could erupt at any time and burn everything in front of him.

Damn Bai Ye! This guy clearly knew that he was Kudo Shinichi and that he had deep feelings for Xiaolan, but he took advantage of his "disappearance" to break into Xiaolan's world without any scruples and stole her heart.

Now, he makes fun of himself even more unscrupulously!

This is simply too much and unforgivable!

Conan's chest was heaving violently, and every breath was filled with suppressed anger. He clenched his fists even tighter, and his knuckles crackled with the force. He wished he could rush up immediately and beat Bai Ye to a pulp.

However, although he hated Bai Ye for taking advantage of the situation and going too far, he had to face the cruel reality.

That is, during the time he was missing, Mao Lilan's heart seemed to have been quietly occupied by Bai Ye. When Conan thought of Xiaolan's affectionate and gentle eyes when she looked at Bai Ye, his heart felt like it was deeply pierced by countless fine needles, and he was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

But now he has become a little child. With such a childish appearance, it would be difficult for him to win back Ran Mouri, let alone make the world believe that he is the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo.

But there was no way he could let himself become discouraged, give up resistance, willingly hand over Mao Lilan to Bai Ye, and then watch the woman he loved most spend her life with another man.

Even if the hope is extremely slim, even if the road ahead is full of thorns and traps, he is never willing to give up easily.

Xiaolan is the most important person in his life, the one he wants to protect for his entire life. How could he let go so easily?

For now, it seems that the only option is to ask Dr. Agasa for help.

I hope the doctor can use his extraordinary wisdom and superb skills to develop an antidote as soon as possible and restore him to his original body.

Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine that he would miss his beloved Xiaolan forever, which would undoubtedly be the cruelest punishment in the world for him.

Maori Kogoro waved his hands impatiently and muttered, "Then let's wait until he comes."

His tone was full of impatience. It was obvious that he had no interest in this so-called "duel" and even found it ridiculous.

After a pause, he looked at Conan, the expression on his face softened a little, but his tone was still serious, "However, Conan, you have to remember that some things, if you miss them, you miss them. Forcing them will only make everyone suffer."

Maori Kogoro's words seemed to be persuasion, but also like a hint, which made Conan feel more complicated. He raised his head, and his eyes flashed with a hint of determination, but also with a bit of confusion.

He knew that what Kogoro Mori said made sense, but he couldn't accept this reality in his heart, and he couldn't accept a future without Xiaolan!
For him, that would be a nightmare more terrifying than the collapse of the world!

"I understand, uncle." Conan's voice was a little low, but his tone was unusually firm, as if he was swearing to himself, "But I still think that Brother Shinichi and Sister Xiaolan are a perfect match."

He clenched his fists, as if to accumulate strength for himself, "In order to make Sister Xiaolan truly happy, I will contact Brother Shinichi later."

Because, in his heart, the significance of this duel has long surpassed victory or defeat. It is a journey to regain the love and happiness that belong to him.

Therefore, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, even if his chance of taking Xiaolan back is as slim as a candle in the wind, he will never give up!
Hearing this, Kogoro Mori's brows instantly twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and his face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

He never thought that after all his earnest words, that little guy still didn't give up his original idea and was still determined to match his precious daughter with Kudo Shinichi.

If Kudo Shinichi had a good ending, he could understand why the other party was so persistent.

But a person who only has the case in his eyes, and who would even repeatedly abandon his childhood sweetheart in order to solve the case, without caring whether she would encounter any dangerous people when she is alone, is not a good match no matter how you think about it.

Knowing this clearly, a certain little brat still insisted on bringing the two together. His intention was extremely sinister!
The more Maori Kogoro thought about it, the angrier he became. The fat on his face kept shaking with his excitement. He secretly complained in his heart: I really don't understand what kind of magic that Kudo Shinichi cast on this little brat Conan, to make this kid so devoted and desperate for his sake!
"Conan, why are you so stubborn and unyielding!" Maori Kogoro's voice suddenly rose, echoing in the room with a bit of anger, "How can you mess with love so easily? If Xiaolan really wanted to be with Kudo Shinichi, would she have to wait so many years? For such a long time, they have only been friends. Isn't the answer obvious enough!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the teacup beside him, raised his head suddenly, and drank the tea in the cup. "Burp--" A loud burp suddenly sounded, he wiped the corner of his mouth casually, and continued to talk, "I think you should stop wasting your energy here. Some things, once missed, can never be returned. Some things, once missed, can never be returned, just like spilled water, can never be taken back. You and that brat Kudo Shinichi should face the reality."

Conan bit his lower lip tightly, his teeth almost embedded in the tender skin, his small fist clenched tightly, his knuckles turned white due to excessive force, as if he was going to crush the air in the next second. He retorted stubbornly without backing down: "Uncle, you don't understand at all! Brother Shinichi and sister Xiaolan have experienced so many life-and-death moments together, and the feelings between them are much deeper than you see. It's just that I haven't found the right time to speak clearly from my heart..."

"Speak again!" Maori Kogoro interrupted him angrily, his eyes wide open and glaring, "You are just a child, still wet behind the ears, what do you know about experience? What do you know about feelings! If you continue to be so stubborn and don't listen to advice, uncle will really get angry!"

When he proposed to hand the other party over to Bai Ye, his precious daughter was listening beside him.

At that time, his beloved daughter not only did not raise any objections, but her face even blushed with shyness. Isn't this enough to explain her thoughts?

It was obvious that his daughter had placed all her heart on Bai Ye.

But, that little rascal is still here and won't give in.

Such shamelessness and nagging are really unbearable and annoying even for children.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's extremely annoyed and dissatisfied look, Conan's heart sank suddenly, as if he was pressed down by a huge rock and he couldn't breathe.

Of course he knew that his words and actions at this moment seemed extremely childish and unreasonable in the eyes of Kogoro Mori.

But he was simply unable to control the emotions surging in his heart, let alone watch his childhood sweetheart, Ran Mouri, drifting further and further away from him step by step, and finally, completely falling into the arms of another man.

Because, Mao Lilan is much more than just a childhood sweetheart to him. She is the warm light in his childhood memories, the one he thinks about most in countless dangerous moments, and the girl he has secretly liked since he was a child, a girl he has buried deep in his heart...
