Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

Meanwhile, Conan, standing downstairs at the Mouri Detective Agency, froze, then blushed and gritted his teeth, saying, "I can't believe you thought of that!"

"Oh ho! Could it be that I really guessed right?" Zhang Shan laughed without any attempt to hide his laughter. "Hey kid, stop pretending to be innocent after getting such a good deal! Can't you just enjoy it?"

"Enjoy my ass!" Conan broke down, whispering to Zhang Shan, "Stop talking nonsense! My body has shrunk, but I'm still an adult inside! Ran wants to give me a bath! She even plans to bathe with me! This is terrible! Big brother! Godfather! Help me!!"

“This really won’t work…” Zhang Shan said with some difficulty, “I myself am an underage orphan, and the law will not allow me to take care of you.”

Hearing Zhang Shan's words, Conan was truly desperate. He had planned everything, but he forgot that, legally, Zhang Shan had no ability or responsibility to take care of the child. Even if he wanted to move in, it would be almost impossible.

Of course, most importantly, this guy has no intention of adopting me at all!

"No way! What adoption?! I'm Shinichi Kudo! Why would I need someone to adopt me!"

That night, Conan was both happy and tormented.

Chapter 76 Conan's Troubles

The next day, Xiaolan arrived at school with a smile. After Yuanzi inquired, Zhang Shan also learned about what had happened at Xiaolan's house the night before.

In short, Ran wanted to take a bath with Conan, but due to Conan's strong resistance, she ended up only helping Conan take a bath and did not bathe with him.

"Sigh, I don't know why you let that kid stay at your place, and even gave him a bath. Aren't you afraid your husband will be jealous?" Sonoko sighed.

"What husband? Shinichi and I aren't even close to getting together yet!" Ran retorted arrogantly, unaware that she had just played right into his hands!

"Oh? Your future husband is Shinichi? I didn't mention his name just now. I was just worried he'd be jealous if he found out~"

"Ah! Sonoko, you bombed me! Take this!"

The playful noises from the two people behind them didn't attract much attention. In the school, students all have their own little circles, and they almost never bother with other people's business.

the other side.

Conan is in big trouble here!

First grade.

"Hey, can you three just leave me alone?!" Conan glared at the three people in front of him. Just like he said before, even though his body had shrunk, he was still a high school sophomore inside, and he really couldn't get along with these first-graders!

However, despite Conan's cold words, the three people in front of him did not back down at all. Instead, they greeted Conan warmly and said, "New classmate! Let's be friends!"

Conan was in despair.

These three people have been sticking to me like glue these past few days since I started school. When I asked them about it, they said they saw me all alone and felt lonely, so they came to play with me.

Do I, Shinichi Kudo, need to play with you elementary school kids? We're not even in the same league!

Besides, why are elementary school students so childish these days? Think about what they were doing when they were in elementary school.

I immerse myself in mystery novels every day, and in my spare time I play soccer and study foreign languages. My days are very fulfilling!

And look at these three in front of me. If I remember correctly, these three guys sneaked into the amusement park without paying not long ago, right?

A hint of disdain flashed in Conan's eyes. He turned around, walked past the three people, went to a corner, took out his phone, and called Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan, who was having lunch, answered the call from Conan without thinking and asked, "What's up now?"

"Don't be so impatient! You're the only one I can talk to now!"

"Oh... I'm really unlucky."

Conan nearly coughed up blood. After a few seconds, he asked, "Big brother, I'm being bothered by a few elementary school kids. Is there any way to get rid of them?"

Next, Conan explained his situation to Zhang Shan in detail and said that he really didn't want to have anything to do with elementary school students!

The images of Ayumi and her two friends instantly flashed through Zhang Shan's mind. Few who had watched Detective Conan liked these three. To prevent them from interfering with their entertainment in the future, Zhang Shan thought for a moment and said, "Your problem is very simple. Just go and make friends with other kids, and they'll generally give up on their own after seeing that."

"What if they don't give up?"

“That would be more troublesome.” Zhang Shan stuffed a mouthful of fried noodles into his mouth and said slowly, “Then you’ll have to create a persona. In novels, aloof male gods are usually the best at keeping to themselves. Aren’t you good at playing soccer? You can go to the field to play soccer whenever you have free time. If someone comes to ask how you are, you can ignore them all. Give outsiders the message that strangers should stay away. Over time, no one will bother you.”

In the corridor, Shinichi's eyes lit up as he listened, thinking to himself, "You really are a novelist; you even came up with this method! Thanks! I'll start implementing the plan this afternoon!"

With that, Conan hurriedly hung up the phone and went to find the soccer ball.

Over here, Zhang Shan looked at the phone that had already been hung up and said helplessly, "I haven't finished speaking yet... Oh well, with his intelligence, he can definitely handle what happens next."

At that moment, Sonoko came to his side and asked, "Who are you talking to on the phone?"

"It's Conan. He said he's being harassed by a strange group at school and asked me if I know how to get rid of them."

"Huh? I got harassed? Are elementary school kids these days so open-minded?"

Zhang Shan glanced at the garden. Although the other party said it was open, there was a strange smile on their lips.

"No, what Conan meant by harassment was that he didn't want to talk to the other person, but the other person kept bothering him, saying that they wanted to be friends with him."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Sonoko's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and chuckled, "Someone wants to be friends with him and he won't? That brat is a bit ungrateful!"

"You can't force these things. Conan is just like Shinichi when he was young; he's very mature and it's normal for him to look down on people his own age," Zhang Shan laughed. "By the way, Valentine's Day is coming soon. Can I have you for a day then?"

"Hmph~ Do I have a reason to refuse?"

Just as the two were about to start showing off their affection, Xiaolan coughed again from behind.

"You two, this is a classroom. How many times do I have to remind you...?"

Although they were disturbed, neither of them said much. After exchanging a glance, Sonoko smiled and said, "What do you think? Should I get a new hairstyle this year?"

Zhang Shan looked at Yuanzi with some confusion and asked, "Change your hairstyle? What made you suddenly have this idea?"

Sonoko touched the headband on her head and said thoughtfully, "Wearing a headband saves a lot of trouble, but generally speaking, girls usually dress up carefully when they go out on a date with their boyfriends, right? Like getting a nice hairstyle or putting on a delicate makeup, but I don't think I've done that in all these years..."

In the end, Sonoko looked at Zhang Shan with some apology in her eyes. She had never thought about this before. It was only yesterday, when her sister came home and saw her headband, that she told her about it.

After thinking about it carefully, Sonoko realized that her older sister made a good point!

As a mature woman with a loving boyfriend, Sonoko felt she needed to dress herself up!

So, Sonoko wanted to ask Zhang Shan what kind of hairstyle he liked so she could go back and have her hair done properly by a hairstylist!

“I see…” Zhang Shan nodded, looking at Sonoko’s shoulder-length short hair, and after thinking for a moment, said, “I think Sonoko just needs to let down her bangs that are held in place by the headband! My wife is naturally beautiful, there’s no need for her to dress up or anything special!”

Hearing Zhang Shan's words, Yuanzi's lips curled up. No one dislikes being praised, especially since this person held a very important place in her heart.

After giving a satisfied hum, Sonoko crossed her arms, looked up, and said, "Since you've said so, I'll reluctantly let my bangs down. Hmm, this glorious task is yours!"

Zhang Shan immediately put down his chopsticks and, with trembling hands, removed the headband from Yuanzi's head.

With her bangs down, Sonoko's appearance improved dramatically, and her already delicate features became even more captivating.

For a moment, Zhang Shan stared intently at the garden, unable to look away for a long time.

Chapter 78 This guy is a complete scumbag!

Valentine's Day arrived quickly, and Zhang Shan took Yuanzi to a couples' restaurant for dinner.

"Ah~!!"

Just as the two were deeply in love, a scream suddenly came from the direction of the private room in the distance!

"What's wrong?" Sonoko was instantly jolted out of her sweet mood and turned to look at the source of the sound.

At the entrance of a private room, a woman with long matcha-colored hair sat slumped on the floor, her face filled with terror. She covered her mouth with one hand and stared at the room with utter horror in her eyes.

Just as everyone was puzzled, a small figure ran out from the side, anxiously shouting, "What happened?!"

A hint of helplessness flashed in Zhang Shan's eyes the moment he saw the other person.

"If I had known this guy was here, I would never have come to this restaurant."

The figure rushing out in such a hurry—wasn't that Conan Edogawa, the "Death God Elementary School Student"?

"Isn't that Ran's kid? Why is he here?" Sonoko also saw Conan and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Zhang Shan waved his hand and said, "I guess they're here on a date. These elementary school kids are all so precocious."

He just remembered that in the original story, the reason Ran and the others went to that party was because Sonoko wanted to find a boyfriend and forced Ran to agree, which led to the Valentine's Day murder later on.

Oh, it's the first Valentine's Day murder case.

Now that Sonoko has Zhang Shan, she naturally won't help Ran accept that person's invitation. Given Ran's personality, she's even less likely to accept. So, it seems a bit reasonable for Conan to appear here.

"Reasonable my foot! I specifically chose a pretty upscale restaurant today to avoid any unexpected incidents, and I never expected you to follow me to a place like this!!"

With Ran and Kogoro's arrival, everyone who was supposed to be there was present, and what followed was an exhilarating mystery-solving session!

"The deceased's name was Ono Aoyama, he was thirty-five years old, and he came here to spend Valentine's Day with his lover, the woman who screamed earlier." Conan stood next to Zhang Shan and whispered the information about the incident.

Zhang Shan rolled his eyes and whispered, "Brother, what's the point of telling me all this? You don't want to get involved in the murder case, do you?"

Although Zhang Shan knew that Conan would definitely interfere in this kind of case, he still wanted to persuade him to stay away from it. After all, it's better to do less of this kind of work for free.

At least you should be registered with the police, and you should get some reward every time you help them solve a case, right?

As a noble person, Conan looked at Zhang Shan with disdain and said, "You, all you ever think about is making money..."

"There's nothing I can do. I'm just a materialistic person who doesn't get up early for nothing. My ultimate goal in life is to have a car and a house, unlike some people who are noble from head to toe and even in their souls." Zhang Shan shrugged, ignoring Conan's disdain, and continued, "By the way, why are you guys here? Did you confess to Ran, so you came here for a date today?"

Hearing Zhang Shan's words, Conan stared with dead fish eyes, his lips twitching, and said, "How is that possible! Besides, have you ever seen someone bring their father-in-law along on a date?"

"Oh, so you're calling your father-in-law so soon?"

"You heard wrong!"

Just as the two were talking, Ran and Sonoko came to their side. Ran said to Conan apologetically, "I'm sorry, Conan, it looks like dinner tonight is going to be canceled."

"Is this the Conan you were talking about?"
