Chapter 67 Valentine's Day is coming

Dr. Agasa hasn't slept for two days.

This even made him miss his physical fitness in the story line.

In the [story timeline], even if his experiments failed and he encountered an explosion, he would just dust himself off and be fine. His energy was almost limitless.

As long as the [cycle] does not end, there is almost no need to sleep.

And this time the [real timeline] is indeed a bit scary.

Thinking of this, Dr. Agasa felt a little heavy in his heart. Logically speaking, the current [real timeline] could not last for such a long time.

It was as if it was in a sea made up of deep black water, with strong winds and huge waves just now.

Suddenly, the sea surface calmed down as if the pause button was pressed.

And it was quiet for a long time.

But every crew member on the ship knew clearly what was hidden under this strange calm -

This is just the sea accumulating its tremendous power.

……

After the last call with Shinichi, Xiaolan seemed to have returned to her previous state.

I have to say that Conan's joining brings a bit of sunshine to this family that has been messed up by a drunkard.

Until another ordinary school day, Xiaolan and Sonoko were walking home together after school.

Xiaolan took out her cell phone and looked at it out of habit.

The screen still displayed several missed call prompts and text message notifications.

"Still didn't answer the phone..." Xiaolan sighed softly.

After that call, I tried to call her several times but the call didn't go through.

"But Shinichi said that, so he must be busy with something important!"

Xiaolan tried to make her tone sound more relaxed, but she knew that this was just a form of self-consolation.

As a close friend of Xiaolan, she is the nymphomaniac daughter of the Suzuki Group.

Suzuki Sonoko was very dissatisfied with Xiaolan's remarks, or to be more precise, her retreat.

"What kind of case would make a great detective abandon his girlfriend and run away on a date?"

"He didn't even call his girlfriend after he ran away!"

"And I know you must be waiting for that Kudo guy to call you every night!"

"No--" Xiaolan tried to defend Shinichi.

As a result, Sonoko put her face close to Xiaolan.

"Don't say no! You can't even hide the dark circles under your eyes! Damn detective fan, I'll definitely teach him a lesson for you when he comes back!"

"Shinichi said he was handling a very important case—"

"What?" Sonoko directly expressed the objection in Xiaolan's heart.

"He can't possibly be staying up all night solving cases! Besides that call, has that guy called you again?"

Xiaolan just shook her head slightly.

"Maybe Shinichi is really busy."

Suzuki Sonoko put her hands behind her back, stared at Xiaolan, walked around her twice, and she stretched out her voice.

"Yeah, yeah, you're always like this—"

Look at Xiaolan standing on the side of that Kudo guy.

Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but help her complain about Kudo Shinichi's unreliability again.

"My ears are almost callused from hearing this. Kudo Shinichi, the great detective, the savior of the Japanese police..."

"And then he forgot about you, his beautiful childhood sweetheart, in order to solve the case..."

Suzuki Sonoko's continuous words finally broke through Xiaolan's defense.

The bad premonition in her heart resurfaced.

"Why, why hasn't Shinichi called me since then?"

"Even if it's just once..."

Putting the phone back into her pocket, Xiaolan sighed softly, "I just..."

Her voice was hesitant, and she was about to say something when she was immediately interrupted by Sonoko.

"Alright, Ran!" Sonoko's tone suddenly became serious, "If you don't make a move, Valentine's Day will be over!"

Xiaolan was a little stunned, and the sudden feeling of uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.

"Valentine's Day? What's going on?"

Suzuki Sonoko showed amazing enthusiasm for this matter.

"Sure enough, you've been looking so gloomy these past few days. Did you forget? Valentine's Day is coming soon!"

Excitedly holding Xiaolan's arm, Sonoko's eyes sparkled.

That is the light of a nymphomaniac.

Xiaolan even felt that love was about to emerge from her eyes.

Sonoko's tone was full of anticipation, and she even jumped up and turned around.

"On such an important annual festival, we must use chocolate to capture the hearts of boys!" "Well," Xiaolan just replied softly to this topic, she was a little depressed.

But a rare thought came to her mind, "Yes, if Shinichi could take the initiative to invite me..."

Just then, a car drove up and stopped in front of the two people who were talking.

After the car door opened, a burly man in a red vest walked out.

He carries himself with a passion as evident as his size.

"Xiaolan, I'm looking for you! There's something I must tell you today!"

Xiaolan and Sonoko were a little stunned. Sonoko took a step forward and then she said, "Who are you?"

"I'm Wakamatsu Toshihide! Do you remember me? I met you guys last time at the cafe!"

The burly man paused, a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"Xiaolan! I'm here to invite you to go on a date with me today!"

The man turned his gaze to Xiaolan and said, "Can you please come with me to the Valentine's Day party tomorrow?"

"Eh?!"

Xiaolan had no idea how things would unfold this way.

There was only one thought left in her mind now -

Do I know this person?
And Suzuki Sonoko immediately remembered it.

These are the group of college students from Beihua University that Xiaolan and I met in the cafe a few days ago.

There seemed to be a handsome guy named Minagawa at that time!

So Suzuki Sonoko naturally took over the conversation on behalf of the frightened Xiaolan.

"Excuse me, will Mr. Minagawa be going too?! If he's going too—"

"Of course!"

Wakamatsu Toshihide scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "After all, the Valentine's Day party was held at his house, so I actually came to..."

"We agreed!"

Suzuki Sonoko immediately agreed on behalf of Xiaolan, "Xiaolan and I will definitely go!"

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Wakamatsu Toshihide seemed a little excited. The burly man showed a shyness that was inconsistent with his body size.

He immediately bowed deeply to Sonoko and Xiaolan, and even the sound he made afterwards was a little excited.

"That's great! Thank you so much! I'll drive over to pick you up tomorrow!"

With the sound of the car engine starting——

Now the only ones left on the roadside were Xiaolan, who was a little angry, and Sonoko, who was full of excitement.

Xiaolan clenched her fist. She was a little angry that Sonoko agreed to it so casually on her behalf.

"Sonoko! How can you just make the decision for me so easily?"

"That's right,"

Sonoko showed a gossipy smile. She had expected Xiaolan to say that, and she said it on purpose just now.

"So you like that Shinichi, right? So you put yourself in the position of already having a boyfriend and want to reject others, right?"

"How is that possible! Who would like that kind of mystery geek?"

This is what Xiaolan originally wanted to say, and this is what she should have said.

But this time she remained silent.

Sonoko seemed to notice Xiaolan's hesitation. She raised her eyebrows and suddenly had an idea.

"Well! Do you want to hear an idea I can give you?"

Sonoko felt that she was now a love genius and a perfect wingman.

"How about you just call Shinichi and tell him you're invited to this Valentine's Day party?"

She nudged Xiaolan, who was standing still, with her shoulder, and said in a friendly and playful tone, "Don't you want to know—"

"But if it disturbs him from solving the case——"

Xiaolan was still a little hesitant.

But the difference this time was that there was a voice in her heart that wanted to tell her something.

"You, you! Why don't you ask him whether the case is more important or you are more important?"

Suzuki Sonoko was very disappointed, "Maybe he is with other girls right now!"

In a sense, Suzuki Sonoko was not wrong.

Conan is indeed with a girl now.

But the girl was an elementary school student, Ayumi.

There were also two other boys, Genta and Mitsuhiko following them.

In fact, according to the [story timeline], Conan should have appeared here.

Conan should have been on the other side of the street at this moment, clearly hearing and seeing everything that had just happened.

But unfortunately, he was "delayed" by the league.
