Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 34 We secretly isolated someone, but we didn't say who it was
"So, the purpose of our hot spring trip this time is to wait for an opportunity to get close to Mr. Maori's college classmates, and then get some information about Mr. Maori from them.

Only when we have enough information can we make accurate judgments."

After listening to what Tachibana Shizuka said, Hattori Heiji nodded. There was nothing wrong with old Tachibana.

While they were talking and laughing, Conan had already arrived at a hot spring hotel called "Benkei" in Tochigi Prefecture with Kogoro Mouri.

Originally, Kogoro Mouri didn't want to bring either Ran or Conan to his classmates' reunion.

After all, no one brought their families with them, so how could he bring a child with him?

Unfortunately, just when Kogoro Mouri was about to let Xiaolan stay at home to take care of the child, Xiaolan said that she had a group training with her classmates at school and it was not convenient to bring Conan with her.

There was no choice but for Kogoro Mouri to take Conan with him as a burden.

During this journey, Maori Kogoro and Conan can be said to be "disgusted with each other". Maori Kogoro does not want to have a first-year kid accompanying his classmates. Conan is also not interested in the reunion of middle-aged classmates.

This is similar to an unsuccessful but inseparable marriage. You are tired of each other but cannot separate, so you can only make do with it.

At this time, Conan missed his life of living alone during the Kudo Shinichi period, but he couldn't tell Xiaolan and his uncle that he could be alone.

Looking at the social circle of middle-aged people where he couldn't join in the conversation at all, Conan sighed heavily.

Alas, when will days like this end?

Just when Conan was bored and ready to find some fun for himself, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"That sounds like Ran's voice? How could that be possible? Ran should be in Tokyo with her classmates right now."

Although he thought it was impossible, Conan subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

It doesn't matter if you look at it
"Sister Xiaolan!???"

Conan's already big eyes widened even more. After a moment of daze, Conan ran away, and his movements attracted the attention of all the adults around him.

"Hey! What are you doing, little brat?!"
.
"Hey, the environment of this hot spring hotel is unexpectedly nice. The uncles and others are quite tasteful~"

Tachibana Shizuka and his group followed the hotel staff through the courtyard of the hot spring hotel and walked along the hotel corridor.

Along the way, Yuanzi was looking around, although this was not his own villa or the high-end hotel where he usually stayed when he went out.

But you can see that the hotel is being run with care. It is clean, tidy, and the environment has a very friendly and warm feeling.

"And we seem to be quite lucky? Besides us, it seems that the only guests in the hotel are Uncle Maori and his group, right?"

Tachibana Shizuka nodded and asked the staff leading the way in front for confirmation.

"Yes, guests. You are the only two groups of customers in the store at the moment."

"It's a good experience to come out and relax occasionally like this~" Hattori Heiji nodded repeatedly. He had a lot of experience in reasoning and solving cases in his daily life.

But I've never had the experience of hanging out with friends like this - after all, the gang members usually spend their time solving crimes.

Just as the four of them were following the staff excitedly, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps, and then they saw a little kid rushing out from the corner and looking at Xiaolan in the team in shock.

"Sister Xiaolan?!"

"Lan? Why are you here?"

Kogoro Mouri and Conan appeared one after another, and then the uncle looked at Xiaolan in a daze.

"Dad, Conan~" Xiaolan's eyes curved into two crescents, and she playfully waved to Maori Kogoro and Conan. Without waiting for Maori Kogoro to say anything, Sonoko followed Xiaolan and greeted Maori Kogoro: "Hey, uncle~ See you again~"

Tachibana Shizuka and Hattori Heiji exchanged a glance, realizing they had finally seen the real deal. After Sonoko Okuni greeted them, the two stepped forward.

"Mr. Maori, nice to meet you. I'm Ran's classmate, Tachibana Shizuka, a sophomore at Teitan High School.

It’s our first meeting, please give me your guidance.”

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Mori. My name is Hattori Heiji, and I'm a sophomore at Osaka Kaikata High School."

After introducing himself to Mouri Kogoro twice in a row, he was stuck. He looked at Tachibana Shizuka and then at Hattori Heiji.

Then he seemed to think of something and walked in front of Tachibana Shizuka.

"You said your name is Tachibana Shizuka?"

"Yes, Mr. Maori."

"Is that the Tachibana Seiji from the Beika Municipal Building?"

"Yes, it's me."

When he heard Tachibana Shizuka admit his identity, Maori Kogoro, who had originally had a serious expression on his face, suddenly laughed heartily, then grabbed Tachibana Shizuka's arm and held it with both hands.

"I know about the cinema incident, thanks to you, Tachibana-san!" After saying that, Mouri Kogoro seriously put down Tachibana Shizuka's hand and took two steps back.

"Thank you so much!"

Maori Kogoro said this and bowed to Tachibana Shizuka. For Tachibana Shizuka, the incident at the Beika Municipal Building Cinema was probably a near-miss in saving himself.

But for Kogoro Mouri, the appearance of Shizuka Tachibana really saved his daughter's life.

He heard from the police that the biggest bomb in the cinema was in Xiaolan's hands.

Even Xiaolan was almost instigated by that damn high school detective to perform an irregular bomb disposal.

"You're too polite. After all, I was just trying to save myself." Tachibana Shizuka quickly helped Kogoro Mouri up and said modestly.

"Having said that, I still want to thank you. But..." Maori Kogoro said, then changed the subject and looked at Xiaolan suspiciously:

"Lan, didn't you say you were going to dorm with your classmates? Why are you here?"

Xiaolan blinked innocently and said nothing. Sonoko replied: "That's right, uncle, it's a training camp~
You see, we are all classmates, so there is nothing wrong with staying together at a hot spring hotel.
As for Hattori, he is a friend that Shizue found!"

"I say, you didn't sneak here just because I didn't want to bring you here?" Mouri Kogoro's suspicion remained unchanged, mainly because what Xiaolan and the others did was too obvious.

"What's the matter, Dad? We won't get in your way anyway. Oh, and I can even help you take care of Conan."

Isn't that right, Conan?"

Xiaolan bent down and touched Conan's big head, but there was no joy on Conan's face at this moment.

The arrival of Tachibana Shizuka immediately sounded the highest level of alarm for Conan. Looking at Sonoko and Ran beside Tachibana Shizuka, Conan felt more and more that something was wrong.

No, Xiaolan is my childhood sweetheart, right? Sonoko is also my childhood friend!
No, am I being isolated by you? Why don't I know anything about this?

Is that bitch Tachibana Seiji really planning to poach people?
