Gin doesn't want to work hard

Upon hearing Kurosawa's voice, Ran Mouri instinctively straightened up and looked up.

"Kurosawa-nii!"

Ran Mouri greeted him.

She looked Kurosawa up and down a few times, and then her eyes lit up.

Because he was attending a banquet, Kurosawa changed into a black formal suit.

The well-fitting clothes perfectly showcased his physique.

With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, the muscles are well-defined without appearing bulky, and the straight-leg suit pants make the legs look longer.

Combined with Kurosawa's already handsome face.

Everyone who sees him will say he's handsome.

Ran Mouri praised sincerely.

"Kurosawa-kun, this outfit really suits you."

"Very handsome!"

"Thank you."

Kurosawa nodded slightly.

Then he asked with some doubt.

Why are you standing by the door?

"Oh, this."

Ran Mouri remembered that Conan had something important to tell her.

Then she looked at Conan.

"Conan, what were you trying to say just now?"

"What are you actually?"

Interrupted like this, Conan's desperate momentum instantly dissipated.

He started stammering again.

"I actually, actually..."

Conan had previously prepared to confess everything to Ran Mouri.

Kurosawa's appearance made him hesitate again.

After all, the purpose of confessing was to track down Gin.

This inevitably leads to the mention of Gin.

Ai Haibara said that she had already mentioned Gin to Kurosawa once.

At that time, Kurosawa showed a hint of interest.

If he brings it up again now...

Conan even suspected that Kurosawa would ask to go with him to investigate.

In that case, it would be a losing proposition.

Although it wasn't the best option, after comparing the two, Conan decided to abandon his previous idea.

However, in that case, he would need to find a new excuse to get away with it.

Faced with Ran Mouri's curious gaze, Conan's mind raced.

"Uh, actually I..."

He glanced at Kurosawa and suddenly uttered a few words.

"Play games!"

"what?"

Ran Mouri asked, puzzled.

Conan actually regretted his slip of the tongue.

But the words have already been spoken.

He had no choice but to continue.

Conan took a deep breath and said quickly.

"I actually stayed up all night playing video games every day during the few days I was at the professor's house!"

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan, I was wrong!"

Ran Mouri was taken aback upon hearing this.

She then said somewhat angrily.

"I was wondering why you seemed so listless when you came back."

"So he was playing games all night!"

"Ke, Nan!"

Ran Mouri stood with her hands on her hips, calling out Conan's name slowly and deliberately.

Although the excuse wasn't particularly good, at least it didn't arouse Xiaolan's suspicion.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

He readily bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"sorry!"

Ran Mouri was somewhat helpless upon seeing this.

But since Conan took the initiative to confess and admit his mistake.

That at least shows that he knows this is wrong.

Just as Ran Mouri was about to give a few more words of advice and then move on from the matter.

Kurosawa, who was standing to the side, spoke up.

He looked a little embarrassed.

"You can't blame Conan for this."

"Actually, I was the one who dragged Conan to play games..."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri narrowed her eyes and looked directly at Conan.

Conan's secret passage is in trouble.

Judging from Xiaolan's expression, she's clearly misunderstood.

Sure enough, the next moment, Ran Mouri said angrily.

"Alright, Conan!"

"They actually used Kurosawa-san as an excuse!"

"Tell me quickly how you lied and convinced Kurosawa to speak up for you?"

In Ran Mouri's view.

Kurosawa likes playing video games.

But I would never stay up all night with a small child.

But Kurosawa said it anyway, so it's hard for Ran Mouri not to suspect that it was Conan's idea.

No wonder Conan was so hesitant before.

After Kurosawa came out, he suddenly confessed.

Stared at by Ran Mouri with a sharp gaze, Conan wanted to explain.

But that's just how it is, how can he explain it?

Conan looked at Kurosawa with a hint of resentment, feeling helpless.

Xiaolan's actions just now clearly indicated that she wanted to move on from this matter.

But then Kurosawa intervened.

Now he has another charge: "seducing the naive Kurosawa".

Conan thought to himself, trying to find some humor in his predicament.

Kurosawa blinked, looking completely innocent.

He was telling the truth.

Conan was at a loss for what to do.

Forget it, why is he arguing with Kurosawa-san?

Moreover, from Kurosawa's perspective, what he said wasn't wrong.

Conan sighed and obediently admitted his mistake.

"sorry!"

Ran Mouri isn't going to let Conan off the hook this time.

She then began to lecture Conan with a serious expression.

Conan had no choice but to bow his head and agree.

Fortunately, a phone call saved him.

"Hello, Dad?"

"Huh? What? We're leaving?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll bring them over right away."

Ran Mouri hung up the phone.
