Conan: The Unscientific Uchiha

Yaoshou!

Conan only felt that he was numb, numb in the true sense of the word. He sat blankly on the chair, ignoring the laughter and laughter in the kitchen, just immersed in his own shocking world.

He prides himself on being a detective with a strong sense of justice, but when this happens, he doesn't know what to do.

In the past, Conan would have scorned and dismissed Mouri Kogoro when he took on such commissions as spying, investigating extramarital affairs, etc. But when it really happened to him, to someone close to him, it was far more serious than a serial murder case. It also moved him.

Shimizu

Shimizu

Well, wasn't he staying with that guy Haiyuan at Dr. Ali's house in the afternoon?

His thoughts were spinning, and Conan's heart twitched again. He quickly remembered that the short-haired and heroic girl from Didan High School whom he had met before, that one seemed to be the senior sister of Xiaolan's karate club.

Conan's head grew bigger in an instant. He had never thought that this would be the case before. The things that Shimizu Koji was obsessed with, now it seems that it is actually true!

He thought it was—— before.

Qingshui, Qingshui, why do you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes...

Conan was heartbroken and regretful. His little brain reacted very quickly. In just a moment, he sorted out the relationship history of Koji Shimizu so far.

There is no doubt that Shimizu Koji made a very serious mistake. Although this may be a mistake that every man will make, he cannot just sit back and watch his junior student fall into the abyss!

A sense of responsibility emerged from the bottom of Conan's heart. He cheered up again, but he did not intend to expose Koji Shimizu now. He also knew the risks. He could not, at least should not, expose Koji Shimizu in front of Xiaolan. Pulled it out of the cupboard.

"Hey, Mom, is this your new necklace? It's so beautiful!"

Suddenly, Xiaolan's voice came from far away. Conan turned around suddenly and saw Xiaolan and Fei Yingli walking out of the kitchen again, and Xiaolan was holding a small black box in her hand. , it is the emerald necklace that Koji Shimizu sent just now.

Fei Yingli took the dishes and put them on the table again. She was secretly glad that she followed her in. She accidentally missed this necklace and put it on the cabinet in the corridor from the kitchen to the living room.

Fortunately, there are no troublesome things like purchase receipts inside, which makes it easy to explain.

"Ah, this, I didn't buy it myself. A friend gave it to me two days ago. It seems to be some kind of turquoise necklace."

While they were talking, Fei Yingli and Xiaolan also sat at the dining table again, and Conan did not hide his curiosity. He put his feet up and looked at Xiaolan's hands eagerly.

"Turquoise? I don't know much about it, but it's really beautiful and looks very suitable for your temperament, mom."

Xiaolan took the necklace out of the box, smiled, put it in front of Fei Yingli and gestured, and then took advantage of the situation to help Fei Yingli put it on.

Fei Yingli also had a gentle and loving smile on her face, lowered her head slightly, and was ready to cooperate with Xiaolan's actions, but at this critical moment! Conan, take action boldly!

"Akibean sack!!"

"Eh?"

"Huh? What's wrong? Conan? What can you do?"

The speaker was Fei Yingli, who was already in a much better mood. After all, it was rare for her to sit down and get close to Xiaolan. Although the gift was given by Koji Shimizu, it did not affect their warm atmosphere of motherly love and filial piety.

But Conan's sudden interruption ruined the atmosphere in an instant. Even Xiaolan looked unhappy after being surprised.

Facing the simultaneous scrutiny of Kisaki Eri and Xiaolan, Conan's originally straight back suddenly bent, and his eyes startled and became much clearer.

"Ah, hahaha, um, I just feel that this gem is so beautiful, a bit-"

Conan smiled and scratched his head, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

When he saw the gem for the first time, he was sure that it was not a commercially available turquoise, but it was an emerald, and it was so big that even he was a little shocked. Dare to confirm.

It wasn't until Xiaolan was about to put it on Fei Yingli that he finally couldn't help but stop it and finally confirmed that it was an emerald gem pendant!

Because, Conan also suddenly thought of Shimizu Koji who was still in the closet. When he thought of Shimizu Koji, combined with the possible "terrible" relationship between him and Fei Yingli, it seemed that the size of the emerald was not the same. So strange.

"What's the point?" Xiaolan's curiosity was successfully aroused by Conan.

Fei Yingli looked at Conan, frowning, looking at the kid scratching his head and pretending to be stupid. While feeling uncomfortable, he also had a bad premonition.

Conan also secretly glanced at Fei Yingli's expression, but who was Fei Yingli? Although she felt uncomfortable in her heart, she was still very calm on the surface.

Therefore, Conan couldn't understand Fei Yingli's mood at the moment.

And even now, he actually still doesn't want to believe that Koji Shimizu really got together with Fei Yingli, Xiaolan's mother.

After all, that was just one-sided words from Koji Shimizu. Well, one-sided words!

Conan subconsciously didn't want to think about why Shimizu Koji was wearing a bathrobe.

Therefore, he is not sure whether Fei Yingli knows that this is not a turquoise, but an emerald, one of the four major gems in the world.

And if this thing is really a gift from Koji Shimizu, then a lot can be observed from Fei Yingli's attitude and reaction.

But there was no time for Conan to think too much. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he continued to scratch his head pretending to be stupid and said, "Yes, it seems familiar."

"Eh? Does it look familiar?"

"Oh, have you seen it somewhere?"

"No, no, no, that's it, um, Aunt Concubine, can I ask, did the friend who gave you this necklace mean that the pendant is made of turquoise?"

"Well, what's the problem?"

"Hey, but if I'm not mistaken, this really does look like the precious emerald I saw in the museum at Suzuki's sister's house last time. Such luster is nothing like it. It’s turquoise.”

Conan spoke quickly, as if he was afraid of being interrupted, and his two small eyes were also staring at Fei Yingli's expression, for fear of missing any changes.

When Xiaolan and Fei Yingli heard this, both mother and daughter were stunned. Xiaolan's hand holding the necklace suddenly tightened a lot.

Fei Yingli, on the other hand, looked calm and unmoved, seemingly not agreeing with Conan's words.

However, no one can know what she is thinking.

Conan, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school student, would be too naive if he wanted to find some flaws in Fei Yingli, who was already a little wary.

Chapter 363: The only one in her heart is Shimizu Koji

Xiaolan had actually seen emeralds before, but she never thought that they would appear in her home or on her hands.

Therefore, even though she didn't believe it in her heart, she immediately held the necklace tightly for fear of accidentally slipping and breaking it.

At the same time, she also cast a questioning and doubtful look at Fei Yingli.

Unlike Fei Yingli, Xiaolan's trust in Conan is now almost 80%. It can be said that she believes whatever Conan says.

That's why she brought Conan to Fei Yingli.

Now, in fact, she has quietly equated Conan and Kudo Shinichi. She is just waiting for Conan/Shinichi's actions, or for the clarification of this misunderstanding.

The bottom line is that Xiaolan is now very suspicious of Conan's true identity. After countless cases and coincidences, she is still unwilling and unable to believe that the elementary school student next to her is her childhood sweetheart.

"mom?"

Xiaolan shouted in confusion.

Fei Yingli moved her terrifying gaze away from Conan, then put on a gentle smile and faced Xiaolan.

"What, Xiaolan, do you also think this is an emerald?"

"It's just the nonsense of a little devil. I only met that friend during a commission. How could he give me some emerald? Okay, Xiaolan, help me put it on first."

Fei Yingli was telling lies with her eyes open, because now, she was the most certain of the three.

However, precisely because of this, her mood became not so good, and Conan was directly ordered to shut up by her eyes.

In fact, she had doubts at the beginning, even though the reason for Koji Shimizu's visit this time was very legitimate. He was to apologize for accidentally drinking all her wine last time.

But giving gifts or necklaces, the act itself made Fei Yingli very concerned.

But she lacked understanding of those well-known gems and the like, coupled with Shimizu Koji's disguise of shyness and youthfulness, so she was careless and allowed Shimizu Koji to get through.

At this moment, after Conan's 'kindly' reminder, she finally realized something was wrong.

Koji Shimizu suddenly came to her door and gave her an emerald necklace of unimaginable value.

Fei Yingli held the chopsticks in her hand and couldn't help but exert a lot of strength.

She is not a stupid woman. Her thoughts and IQ are sometimes even more sophisticated and thoughtful than Conan's.

"Hey, yes, is that so?"

Xiaolan was manipulated by her mother. She had 80% trust in Conan, but she naturally had 100% unconditional trust in Fei Yingli.

So in a simple size comparison, Fei Yingli won. Xiaolan was a bit doubtful. At the same time, under Fei Yingli's hints, she subconsciously raised her hand and put on the necklace for her mother.

The luster of the emerald is deep and radiant. When worn on Fei Yingli, it does have an indescribable sense of proportion, elegance and nobility. However, it fell on Fei Yingli's plump chest for only a second, and she raised her hand directly. Hidden under clothes.

This time, Xiaolan and Conan's eyes were blocked, and all conversations about this gem were completely blocked.

"Okay, let's eat."

"Yeah, I understand. Mom, Conan, please try our cooking again."

Xiaolan is very well-behaved. Although she is a little confused, she can also see that her mother doesn't like Conan very much.

Therefore, she didn't think too much about the gems. She just attributed everything to Fei Yingli's hatred of Conan.

But actually, Conan, who had been glared at a few times, was quite satisfied with the result. He didn't want Xiaolan to know anything, he just wanted to test and remind Kisaki Eri.

And sure enough, there was something fishy going on.

But Conan couldn't figure out what these tricks were. Fei Yingli was just subconsciously on guard, like an airtight wall, making it difficult for people to detect her thoughts.

Conan could only make some guesses. At least, the development of the relationship between Fei Yingli and Shimizu Koji may not be as deep as he thought.

Still, is there any help——?

While eating the vegetables Xiaolan put in the bowl for him, Conan's mind was spinning. He was originally relaxed because of the good news, but suddenly he became depressed again.

The dish was still shredded potatoes, but the taste was indeed much better. This was most likely due to Xiaolan. Conan glanced at Xiaolan quietly, but the figure of Kogoro Mori couldn't be left in his mind.

Taking another peek at Fei Yingli, who looked at Xiaolan calmly with kindness and love, Conan's mood became heavier.

save--?

Conan's mood suddenly became chaotic. Help? What is he saving?

Save Koji Shimizu?

This, maybe. Conan actually never thought of starting from Shimizu Koji, because he knew very well that he would never be able to persuade Shimizu Koji;

Moreover, in fact, Conan subconsciously believed that Koji Shimizu was the passive one in this complicated relationship.

Then, save the concubine Yingli?

Think about it, Uncle Mouri Kogoro, who was against the will of heaven, carried a heavy burden for Xiaolan for more than ten years, and ruined his youthful mother.

Conan rarely put himself in Xiaolan's shoes and realized that if he were Xiaolan, he would have long ago persuaded his mother to find another one.

Gamblers are not allowed in the house!

Although I feel good about Mouri Kogoro, it is also based on the premise that the office is now on the right track, and this right track is still his hard work alone. Moreover, just a while ago, Moori Kogoro was He almost lost his life with a big wave of his hand saying 'all or nothing' at the gambling table.

At that time, it was Fei Yingli who he and Xiaolan came to ask for help, although it was his father who finally solved the problem.

Conan suddenly sighed in his heart, and the sense of responsibility and ambition that had originally risen became decadent.

"Conan, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

"Ah, no, no, I was just thinking about whether Uncle Maoli would play small steel balls tonight. We didn't seem to have the key with us when we came out."

Conan's words made Xiaolan's smile stagnant, and when she mentioned Mouri Kogoro, Fei Yingli's face couldn't look good.

But at this moment, she would naturally not say anything like Xiaolan, you can live here with me. She had not forgotten at all that someone was still hiding in her closet full of small clothes.

And this person, I'm afraid, is probably aware of what happened last time and is not some shy young boy.

Fei Yingli couldn't help but breathe a little faster, her pretty face was cold, but deep in her eyes, there was a very unnatural look.

"Xiaolan, you should go back early after dinner."

"Uh, Mom, no, Dad, Dad actually stopped playing small steel balls recently." Xiao Lan tried to explain in a very feeble manner.

On the side, Conan didn't know what his thoughts were at this moment. He suddenly raised his hand and said innocently:

"That's right! Uncle has switched to horse racing!"

"Yeah! Conan!!!"

Xiaolan was very excited, and Conan also got the red envelope he wanted from sister Xiaolan. As for Fei Yingli, she forced out a smile and watched their performance quietly.

As for the topic of Mouri Kogoro, she didn't care at all.
