Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 53 Conan's Illness
good boy!
Tachibana Shizuka suddenly understood. He said that no matter how he looked at Conan today, he felt something was wrong. So, he was secretly developing behind his back?

Tachibana Shizuka was both surprised and not particularly surprised by this accident.

In the original work, Conan was able to hold on for so long because there was no one around Xiaolan who could make him feel a sense of crisis.

Even so, Conan almost gave up and revealed his identity several times. If it weren't for the help from his friends and family, Conan's identity would have been revealed long ago.

So, in this life, with someone like Tachibana Shizuka eyeing Xiaolan covetously by her side, it is very difficult for Conan, the jealous king of East Asia, to hold on until now.

What a pity, it's fate.
If today's incident was not the game company incident, if Conan had not met Tequila today, if the bar on the top floor of the Daikoku Building had not been blown up so neatly by Gin today. Conan could have continued to carry out the original plan.

Once Conan's identity is discovered by Xiaolan, it will be major bad news for Tachibana Shizuka, and it will also mean that the difficulty of poaching him will increase exponentially.

But there are not so many ifs in life.

Tachibana Shizuka saw loss, tension, dissatisfaction and dejection in Conan's eyes.

But it doesn't matter. For Xiaolan's safety, Conan has to bury the truth deep in his heart no matter how unwilling he is.

Bad news turned into good news. To be honest, Tachibana Shizuka almost wanted to give a banner to the brewery and Gin.

What is this called? This is called the friend of the people.
Gin, you're a good man!

Tachibana Shizuka had almost figured out Conan's mental journey, so he naturally wouldn't provoke Conan who hadn't completely calmed down yet.

What if he provokes Conan with a few words and makes him expose himself on the spot, wouldn't it be Tachibana Shizuka who will be uncomfortable?
As for Xiaolan, she just put her worries aside temporarily. It was impossible to tell a child about this directly.

Conan, there might be a problem because your small weapons haven't grown yet?

That would really hurt the child's self-esteem.

As for Conan, he wasn't in the mood to talk either. His deduction had been hijacked today, leaving him with no clues at all, and the reveal he was supposed to make had also fallen through.

This was destined to be a dark day for Conan. After reluctantly saying a few words to Xiaolan, Conan, Xiaolan and Tachibana Shizuka set out on the road back to the office.

Why would Tachibana Shizuka follow? Let him follow if he wants. Edogawa Conan can't drive Tachibana Shizuka away anyway, right?
Conan was in a delicate state of despair. Tachibana Shizuka and Ran walked home talking and laughing, while Conan was silent like a robot.

Looking at the backs of the "family of three", they all have a bright future.

After sending Ran and Conan back home, Tachibana Shizuka took a short break at the office. Maori Kogoro and Inspector Megure returned to the Metropolitan Police Department to take a statement and wouldn't be back for a while.

But he didn't sit there for too long. After about a cup of tea, Tachibana Seiji stood up and said goodbye.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. The house still needs cleaning." After finishing a cup of tea, Tachibana Seiji stood up and said goodbye.

Now is not the time to pursue the enemy with all your remaining strength. The kind-hearted Beihua man Shizuka Tachibana is still very concerned about the mental health of Conan, the elementary school student.

"Eh? Shizuka, don't you want to stay for dinner? Dad should be back soon." Xiaolan was originally planning to refill Shizuka's cup, but when she heard Shizuka say goodbye, she subconsciously tried to persuade him to stay.

"Ah, maybe not. At least give Uncle Maori some time off?" Xiaolan's dinner was undoubtedly tempting, but when he thought of Maori Kogoro's "heroism" yesterday and his desolation today, Tachibana Shizuka felt that if it continued for another night, this uncle might really lose his life.

After all, he was his future father-in-law, so the days of drinking together were still to come. Maori Kogoro was still a tough guy who didn't need anyone to accompany him or any snacks to drink. For the sake of his health, Tachibana Shizuka gave up Xiaolan's tempting invitation.

To be honest, in Xiaolan's eyes, Kogoro Mouri's performance last night was not "heroic", and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment when she heard what Tachibana Shizuka said.

But she still quickly winked at Tachibana Shizuka - carry Conan on her back.

"Then I'll take you there~"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Tachibana Shizuka nodded calmly, and he and Xiaolan left the second floor of the office one after another.

After the two of them walked down to the first floor and out of the office for a while, Tachibana Shizuka made sure there were no "elementary school students" suddenly appearing around, and asked Xiaolan, "What's wrong, Ran?"

"It's like this, Shizue, there's something I want to ask you for your opinion on." After a brief hesitation, Xiaolan said to Shizue:

"Well, I recently noticed that Conan seems to have some health problems, but I don't know if I should go to the hospital for a checkup."

"Conan is sick? Of course he needs to be checked?" Tachibana Shizuka was a little surprised. It was common sense to go to the hospital if you were sick. What was there to consult?
"It's not mainly about Conan, I don't know much about him. But Shizuka, do you guys also go to the bathroom frequently and at irregular times?"

It wasn't easy for Xiaolan either, because Conan made her blush in front of Tachibana Shizuka.

The moment Xiaolan blurted out the question, Tachibana Seiji gritted his teeth and thought about all the sad things he had experienced in his two lives.

You can’t laugh, you must not laugh!

Finally, after gritting his teeth and taking several deep breaths through his nose, Tachibana Shizuka spoke with difficulty: "Ran, are you saying that Conan is in this situation?
That's really serious. Generally speaking, this happens mostly to middle-aged and older men—isn't it a little too early for Conan?"

Tachibana Shizuka believes that he is still talented in acting, just like now he is speaking more and more fluently, and can even ask a question to Xiaolan.

At this moment, Xiaolan's heart was completely concerned about Conan, so she naturally didn't notice anything unusual about Tachibana Shizuka.

He just said to Tachibana Shizuka with concern: "Is that really the case? That's why I'm so conflicted.

Conan has been in this situation for a while now, but I don’t know how to tell this kid.”

It is common sense to seek treatment as soon as possible when you are sick. Otherwise, if a minor illness is delayed and becomes a major illness, and the major illness cannot be cured, the patient will suffer the consequences.

Xiaolan doesn't know the situation, so how could Tachibana Shizuka not know what's going on? Conan is not sick at all, this is clearly the side effect of using the pee escape method too much!

What normal child would say “I can’t hold it anymore” when he has nothing to do every day?
Tachibana Shizuka certainly wouldn't mind letting Conan taste this bitter fruit he brewed himself, but how to taste it is also a strategic issue.

So Tachibana Shizuka seriously told Xiaolan: "."
