Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 189 Edogawa Conan, still performing
"Alas," Kudo Yukiko sighed, "Ran, Shinichi may not have considered everything very carefully, but please believe me, he definitely has no bad intentions."

"He only did this because his success had blinded him and made him arrogant.

Besides, he didn't reveal his identity because he really wanted to protect you, but he's not mature enough yet."

"Xiaolan, I want to say sorry to you, and please allow me to apologize to you and your family on behalf of my husband, Shinichi's father.

It was indeed our negligence to let Shinichi stay in your house all this time."

Kudo Yukiko was speaking very sincerely at this moment, and Tachibana Shizuka did not deny what she said.

If someone says that Conan has any bad intentions, Tachibana Shizuka is the first one who doesn't believe it. It's not that he doesn't believe Conan has bad intentions, but that he doesn't believe Conan can think so much.

But aren't there many examples of good intentions leading to bad outcomes? Absolutely not.

Conan is a typical example of someone who drags others into trouble and does something bad with good intentions.

Conan's arrogance was foreshadowed, such as using reasoning as a weapon to force the murderer into a desperate situation. It was Asai Makoto who taught Conan a lesson with his own life and the tragic way he died that made him make some changes.

The savior of the Japanese police, the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, how could Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo not see that the media was deliberately praising Conan to death?

But they chose to let Conan suffer a great loss when he was young. If he had fallen and suffered losses when he was young, he would have taken fewer detours when he grew up.

This is the Kudo family's educational method.

Originally, this educational method was quite good, but who would have thought that a winery would suddenly appear in the middle of the process. This resulted in Conan suffering a severe fall before the Kudo family's education was completed.

"I accept your apology, and thank you very much for telling me the truth." Xiaolan thanked Kudo Yukiko in an almost indifferent and distant attitude.

As soon as she heard this tone, Kudo Yukiko knew it was spicy!
Xiaolan is by no means a good girl. She has always been decisive when dealing with criminals and gangsters.

Although kindness is her basic nature, she is not blindly kind and wants to be a saint.

No matter what, what the two elders of the Kudo family did was chilling, so there was no need to continue their close friendship.

From now on, just treat him as an elder you know but are not familiar with. After a long time, you will naturally have no more interactions.

As for Kudo Shinichi
The psychology towards Kudo Shinichi and Ran is the most complicated. After all, they are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and Conan himself has no bad intentions.

It seems a bit too much for the two of them to break up just because of this.

But the relationship between them ended there.

At this moment, the main door of the Kudo family's mansion suddenly opened, and with a shout of "I'm back", Conan strolled from the entrance to the living room.

The four of them looked into each other's eyes. Conan, who had just returned from outside, looked into the eyes of Tachibana Shizuka, Ran, and Kudo Yukiko in turn.

"Aunt Yukiko, excuse me for disturbing you?" Conan blinked in confusion as he looked at the scene in the living room.

What kind of scene is this?

Yukiko Kudo closed her eyes in despair. At this time, the person who should not have come here appeared.

"It's Conan, are you used to living in Professor Agasa's house?" Tachibana Shizuka was delighted by the incredibly fast facial expression change. Ran, who had been cold and distant, suddenly smiled brightly, and when she looked at Conan, she was exactly like the caring older sister she usually is.

Women are born actors, so Xiaolan is a natural movie queen. This face-changing is really seamless.

If Tachibana Shizuka hadn't just seen it with his own eyes, he would probably have thought that Xiaolan and Kudo Yukiko were having a good conversation.

"Marula, Marula! Shinichi, take care of yourself." Kudo Yukiko silently lit a candle for her son in her heart.

If Xiaolan still had some strange feelings towards Conan's behavior, maybe Conan would have a chance to redeem himself in the future.

But now Xiaolan clearly appears in front of Conan as the flawless "Sister Xiaolan".

This means that Ran will only be Conan's "Sister Ran" in the future. Even if Conan can transform back into Kudo Shinichi, their relationship will only be limited to childhood sweethearts. And it's a childhood sweetheart relationship without any teasing.

After all, since ancient times, childhood sweethearts cannot defeat a lover sent from heaven. If Ooka Momiji knew about this, she might take over the headlines of all the newspapers in Osaka to declare that childhood sweethearts will not have a good ending.

"It's okay, the doctor is very nice to me!" Conan was completely unaware and was performing hard at the moment.

"By the way, why is Xiaolan-sister at my, my Shinichi-nii's house? Are you here to see Shinichi-nii?"

At this time, Conan still did not forget to help Kudo Shinichi increase his presence in both open and covert ways. Although Kudo Shinichi could not appear, his presence must be sufficient.

"No, I wanted to go to the doctor's house to see you, but Jingsi told me that Shinichi's mother is here.

So I came here specially to visit, and I didn't expect Conan to come here to play."

"Oh, I see." Conan nodded and turned his gaze to Tachibana Shizuka.

Tachibana Shizuka didn't let Conan take the initiative, but took the lead and asked Conan: "By the way, Conan, I just heard you calling me back at the door?
Shouldn't you yell "Excuse me" in this situation?

Tachibana Shizuka asked Conan a question sincerely, looking very innocent. Conan froze when he heard it, then rubbed the back of his head and laughed:
"Really? I forgot what I just said! Maybe I said something wrong!"

"Is that so? Kid, be careful next time." Seeing that Tachibana Shizuka was no longer worried, Conan didn't dare to continue asking questions to him.

If he were to ask any crucial questions, it would be difficult for him to answer them. For example, how did Conan get the key to Kudo's house?
Normally, Ran and Tachibana Shizuka would have said goodbye at this point, but Ran clearly wanted to see things through to the end.

She looked around and found that Kudo Yukiko had been busy with Conan's affairs for the past few days since she came back. The Kudo family's mansion had only been roughly cleaned, and if they wanted to stay there for a long time, a thorough cleaning would be needed.

"Then Aunt Yukiko, I'll come and help clean the house today, okay? Otherwise, you'll be busy all day long."

Xiaolan made suggestions to Kudo Yukiko with a smile, but Kudo Yukiko instinctively wanted to refuse.

The more Xiaolan did at this time, the further they would be from each other. When Xiaolan thought she had done enough, this would probably be a place she would never set foot in again.

"I think it's a good idea. In that case, I'll come and help too." Tachibana Shizuka smiled and agreed with Xiaolan's idea.

Just as the two of them came to the housekeeping room to organize the tools they would need later, Xiaolan turned her head and stared into Tachibana Shizuka's eyes: "Thank you, Shizuka."
