Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 35 Mao Lilan likes Suzuki Sonoko's feet

Before returning to his room, Haruhiko Kousaka went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. Conan followed Haruhiko holding a small pillow at Xiaolan's order.

"Brother Haruhiko, you are drinking coffee so late, aren't you going to sleep?" Conan showed the curiosity of an elementary school student.

Haruhiko glanced down at him and walked towards the room with his coffee. "I have a feeling something terrible is going to happen soon."

Conan's eyes lit up, and he quickly followed Haruhiko, holding his pillow, and asked as he walked, "Did you find any clues, Haruhiko brother?"

"No, this is just an exorcist's intuition," Haruhiko said.

Conan's face was full of disbelief, but although he had determined that this series of events was most likely done by someone in the villa, he still had no clue who the murderer was.

Conan originally thought he could get some information from Haruhiko, but this guy didn't say a single serious word.

However, the fact that he drank coffee late at night was very suspicious. He must have discovered something. Conan decided to keep an eye on Haruhiko tonight.

As they were talking, the two returned to the room.

The layout of the guest rooms is similar, with a large bed, wardrobe and table of the same style. The double bed is placed by the window, and you can see the scenery outside while lying on the bed.

But it's still raining so visibility is very low. Raindrops hit the glass, condensing into water droplets that slowly slide down.

Haruhiko placed the coffee on the bedside cabinet and got into bed. He leaned his back against the headboard, staring at the rain outside the glass window, lost in thought.

Conan placed the pillow next to him and lay down as well.

"Brother Haruhiko, do you think that bandaged monster is a human or a ghost?" Conan asked tentatively.

Haruhiko took a sip of coffee and said casually, "It's possible. I hope he's the incarnation of evil."

Conan: "Huh? Why?"

"Because this way I can get rid of it. Have you forgotten what my family does?" Haruhiko smiled mysteriously while holding his coffee.

Conan thought to himself that this guy really thought of himself as a child.

Seeing Conan's unhappy face, Haruhiko asked, "Why do you look so unhappy? Are you disappointed that you can't sleep with Xiaolan?"

"How is that possible?" Conan's eyes widened instantly, then he realized that his reaction was a bit excited, and quickly explained: "It doesn't matter where I sleep. I'm just curious about the bandage monster."

Haruhiko smiled strangely: "Is that so..."

Conan suddenly counterattacked: "By the way, Brother Haruhiko, how far have you and Sister Sonoko progressed?"

Haruhiko asked doubtfully, "There's no progress at all. We're just ordinary good friends."

Conan pushed his glasses: "Isn't that right? I always feel that when Sister Sonoko is with you, she is different from usual."

Haruhiko punched Conan on the head: "What do you know at such a young age, you little brat?"

"Don't you like Sonoko-sister's type?" Conan covered his head, as if he suddenly thought of something. "I heard them say that when Officer Sato was holding you down that day, you had a strange smile on your face. Don't you like that type?"

Haruhiko's head was instantly filled with question marks.

Where did this rumor come from? He must have been confused and in pain at the time, right? His arm was about to break, so how could he have been thinking about something weird?

Haruhiko suddenly felt that his reputation seemed to be going in a strange direction.

Looking at Conan chasing after him, Haruhiko suddenly felt a sense of evil interest.

"As for my type..." Haruhiko took a sip of coffee and pretended to think, "I think Mouri Ran is pretty good."

"What?!" Conan jumped up suddenly and almost spilled the coffee in Haruhiko's hand.

"Why are you reacting so strongly? Do you also like your sister Xiaolan?" Haruhiko said with a smile.

"How, how is that possible? I'm just curious why you like Xiaolan...well, why you like someone like Xiaolan. What's so good about her?" Conan hurriedly explained his behavior.

Haruhiko: "I think she's great. She's kind, can cook, and is great at karate. She can protect me if I encounter bad guys."

"Hey, aren't you ashamed of letting a girl protect you?" Conan said with disdain.

"What does it matter? As long as two people truly love each other, I think none of this matters." Haruhiko deliberately angered him.

Sure enough, the buff of the East Asian King of Vinegar took effect.

"How did it escalate to the level of true love? You still call each other by your last names, right?" Conan's face flushed red.

"Maybe tonight is the turning point? A young man and a young woman trapped in a desperate situation, working together to overcome danger and then developing feelings for each other..." Haruhiko blinked innocently, "Isn't that how it plays out in the movies?"

Conan slowly lowered his head, and Haruhiko felt a dangerous cold light flash across his lenses.

"I think Sister Sonoko is more suitable for you. Her family is so rich and she should be able to protect you better." Conan gave a lame explanation.

Haruhiko felt that he had teased him enough. If he continued to stimulate him, it would be bad if Kudo Shinichi turned evil. This kid had a lot of murderous tricks in his head. It would be troublesome if he committed a perfect crime for him.

"Well, I'll consider it carefully," Haruhiko said.

Although Conan got Haruhiko's promise, he still looked at him with great vigilance.

There is no way around it. His body has become smaller now, and he doesn't know when he can grow back to normal. He can't reveal his true identity to Xiaolan. He feels that something will go wrong if this goes on for too long.

No, it doesn't take time to grow, right? This afternoon, Xiaolan was dragged out for a walk by that long-haired guy, and was almost kissed by him.

Conan felt very unhappy when he thought of this.

Afterwards, Haruhiko and Conan talked about the case for a while, mainly focusing on Conan's probing. Haruhiko acted impeccable, which made Conan furious.

At midnight, Haruhiko got up and walked outside.

He estimated that the time for the bandaged monster to attack was almost up, and it would be time to start setting up the barrier to exorcise the evil spirits.

Conan asked from behind: "Where are you going, Brother Haruhiko?"

"I always feel that there is a lot of evil spirits here. It would be better to do some simple exorcism rituals." Haruhiko gave a reasonable answer, closed the door and walked out.

The room instantly became quiet.

After a few seconds, Conan threw back the quilt and jumped out of bed, quietly following in his slippers. He felt that Kousaka Haruhiko must have some clues that he hadn't discovered yet.

...

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran also did not sleep.

It’s not that they don’t want to sleep, but they can’t sleep because they are too scared.

Although Mao Lilan is very powerful in karate, when faced with things related to ghosts and gods, she immediately becomes a piece of trash with a combat power of only 5.

Although Yuanzi looks carefree, she is actually not that brave. What's more, she was attacked by a bandaged monster in the woods before, so the feeling of fear has added an extra layer of buff to her.

The two of them lay on the bed with their bodies pressed together. This method seemed to increase their sense of security. Sonoko grabbed the edge of the quilt with both hands, feeling that if the bandaged monster suddenly appeared, she would immediately pull the quilt up and hide herself in it.

Although it was raining outside, the weather in the room was still a bit stuffy because the windows were not open.

Neither Sonoko nor Xiaolan wore thick pajamas. Instead, they were dressed lightly, their long white legs tangled together under the covers. One of Sonoko's feet was playfully extended, the nails on her fair toes painted a playful pink. Sonoko took Xiaolan's hand and asked, "Lan, do you think that bandaged monster will come and attack us?"

Xiaolan was a little scared after hearing this: "That shouldn't be the case? We have locked the doors and windows tightly."

"But...if it's not a human, will it be useless?" Sonoko whispered.

At this moment, there was a sudden thunder outside.

The two were so frightened by the thunder that they hugged each other tightly and hid their faces in the quilt. After a while, they slowly raised their heads.

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly looked strange and said, "Lan, I noticed that you seem to have grown bigger again."

Mao Lilan was stunned by her inexplicable words: "What?"

"It's right here." Sonoko said as she reached out her hand to Ran Mouri's pectoral muscles and gently pinched them twice.

"ah--"

Ran Mouri exclaimed, clasped her hands around her chest and moved away from Sonoko's attack range.

Sonoko stared blankly at the palm of her hand, a look of disbelief on her face: "Amazing! Is it really that possible?"

Mao Lilan blushed slightly: "What are you doing, Sonoko?"

Suzuki Sonoko rushed over again and asked sincerely, "Please tell me, what kind of magic did you use?"

"There's no such thing as magic?" Even when talking about this topic in front of her best friend, Mao Lilan still felt a little shy.

Sonoko looked suspicious: "Could it be that Shinichi boy who helped?"

"How is that possible?!" Mao Lilan raised her voice a lot, "Sonoko, why are there so many weird things in your mind?"

"What's the big deal? You've known each other for more than ten years, right? You're already an old couple..." Sonoko sat cross-legged on the bed and pulled up her pajamas that had slipped off her shoulders.

"Has it come to this between you and Kousaka-kun?" Ran Mouri began to blow the horn of counterattack.

"How is that possible?!" Suzuki Sonoko said the same lines, "Who would be with that guy..."

"That's not right, Sonoko? I remember you didn't have the habit of painting your toenails before. In fact, you said it would give people a frivolous impression." Mao Lilan also sat up. "But ever since that kendo club sparring with Kosaka-kun, you started to change your nails frequently."

"I just suddenly felt that this might increase my chances of catching a handsome guy. It has nothing to do with that guy Kousaka," Sonoko explained.

"Then why do you only wear shoes that leak when you meet Kousaka-kun?" Ran Mouri delivered a fatal blow.

Suzuki Sonoko wanted to explain, but she couldn't think of the right words for a while, so she had to pounce on Ran Mouri again and physically attack her chest muscles.

Mao Lilan had seen through Sonoko's plan long ago. She cleverly dodged Sonoko's attack and grabbed Sonoko's white jade-like feet. "I want to see what kind of magic this thing that has been haunting Kosaka-kun has."

Suzuki Sonoko: "What are you talking about, Ran? Hey, stop tickling the soles of my feet... I can't stand it..."

The two sisters played on the bed, as if they were back in their childhood, and at the same time, the haze about the bandaged monster that had originally shrouded their hearts was diluted.

But none of them noticed that there was a figure holding an axe standing in front of the glass window behind them.

...

Haruhiko Kousaka stood at the end of the corridor on the second floor. There was a small window here. When it was opened, a breeze mixed with drizzle blew in from the window.

If he had a cigarette in his hand, he would look like a middle-aged man who secretly got up in the middle of the night to smoke behind his wife's back.

Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to smoke, so he can only smell the slightly cool air to keep his brain clear.

"Brother Haruhiko, what are you doing here? Didn't you just say you were going to purify the evil spirits?" Conan walked behind Haruhiko.

"The spirits around here told me that something terrible will happen soon. I'll wait and see here." Haruhiko made up a lie.

Conan rolled his eyes as expected. He didn't believe Haruhiko's theory about ghosts and gods at all. He still believed that Haruhiko had some clues that he hadn't discovered, and was squatting here maybe waiting for the murderer to reveal a flaw.

But...what is the clue?

Conan thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, two extremely penetrating screams came from a room not far away.

Conan subconsciously prepared to rush to the scene first, but before he could start, he found that Haruhiko had already arrived at the door.

Did he already know this? Conan wondered.

Haruhiko Kousaka came to the door of Sonoko and Ran's room and found that it was locked. Then the sound of breaking glass came from inside.

Haruhiko knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he took two steps back and slammed the door open with his shoulder.

When I entered the room, I saw that the window glass had been broken. The bandaged monster had one foot in the window with his iconic axe in his hand.

The two girls were so scared that they curled up in the quilt, not daring to move.

Haruhiko was speechless. He didn't know if the "hiding under the quilt technique" could protect against ghosts, but it definitely couldn't protect against a sharp axe.

He took out a black umbrella from behind and held it in his hand. He had placed this umbrella at the door of Yuanzi and the others' room.

Haruhiko rushed forward in a few steps, stepped on the bed to gain leverage, and hit the bandaged man's shoulder with his umbrella before he could get in.

After a scream.

The bandaged man fell from the second-floor window sill.

Haruhiko stuck his head out of the broken window and looked, but didn't see anyone on the ground outside the villa. Maybe Takahashi Ryoichi's props were working again?
I wonder if after resolving this incident, he will be given the skill of a prop master?
Haruhiko turned around and saw Sonoko and Ran still curled up in the quilt, but their heads were exposed. Perhaps they felt a little safer after seeing Haruhiko chase away the bandaged monster.

He was still standing on the soft double bed, ready to walk to the door, while comforting himself: "Don't be afraid, I've already beaten that guy...ah!"

Haruhiko accidentally stepped on someone's leg and lost his balance.

He fell directly onto the soft big bed, then struggled to get up. While struggling, he suddenly felt a soft and slippery unknown object in his hand.

pat-

Conan pressed the light switch, and the room instantly became as bright as day.

Haruhiko suddenly discovered that the unknown object in his hand was actually a soft, white, bare foot, with the crystal clear nails on the toes painted a playful pink.

At this time, Mao Lilan was hugging the quilt and curled up at the head of the bed. Her eyes were full of: "I knew there was a problem between you two."

Conan, who was standing at the door, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, with a look on his face that said, "Fortunately it wasn't Xiaolan."

Suzuki Sonoko, who was at the center of the incident, erupted with unprecedented momentum: "How long are you going to hold on, you bastard?!"

Haruhiko watched as her other foot kicked towards his face.
