Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

"Hehe, whatever, let him be!"

"real……"

He Yegang wanted to say something more, but his expression froze slightly. He immediately took out his phone, saw that it was already 2 o'clock, and hurriedly dialed Xiaolan's number.

Amidst the beeping sounds, just as the call was about to end, it finally connected, and Xiaolan's slightly languid and drowsy voice came through:

"Kazuha?..."

"Xiaolan, what's wrong with your voice?"

"Ah... I just woke up from an afternoon nap."

"Oh, have you arrived yet?"

"Let me see... Hmm, almost there. It seems like it won't take more than twenty minutes."

"Phew...that's good...that's good..."

Kazuha thought Ran and the others had gotten lost, but it turned out they hadn't arrived yet!

Huh, we haven't arrived yet?

She immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Ran, are you still on the Shinkansen?"

"Yes!"

"no……"

"It's all because of him... Anyway, because of him, we were late and had to take the next Shinkansen."

"Oh……"

Kazuha nodded in sudden understanding, glanced at the still-running match, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll say it again, you need to find the Naniwa Central Gymnasium. But you need to sit..."

"For taxis, just tell the driver the place, and he'll know."

"Don't worry, I've got it. But Kazuha, if we go now, it might be too late, right? Has your competition ended yet?"

"It's alright, the finals don't start until after 2:30. If you come, it should be just in time so you can see the exciting finals."

"it is good."

"Xiao Lan, how about I go pick you up?"

"Okay!"

"Ah."

He Ye hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't miss anything, everything would be fine.

Hattori Shizuka asked curiously, "Are you bringing any friends?"

Kazuha nodded and smiled, "Yes, Auntie. They are the friends we met at the ski resort a few months ago, it's them."

Hattori Shizuka thought for a moment and the images of several girls and a man came to mind. She exclaimed in realization, "So it's them. I didn't know you were still in contact."

o0 Please give me flowers............

"Auntie, I'm going to pick them up."

"Go."

Kazuha nodded and ran to the side.

Hattori Shizuka watched Kazuha's retreating figure and shook her head with amusement. She searched for her son in the arena below, but unfortunately, she couldn't find him anywhere. She was truly helpless.

the other side.

On the Shinkansen (bullet train).

Xiaolan hung up the phone, glanced at the garden next to her, and found that she was still sleeping.

Then, looking across, I saw Shiraishi Osamu sleeping, while Aunt Yukiko, who was leaning on his shoulder, had opened her eyes and was sitting up staring at him.

Yukiko smiled and whispered, "Ran, let's switch seats!"

Xiaolan was taken aback, but the thought of being able to sit next to Shiraishi Xiu filled her with joy, and she nodded gently: "Okay!"

A little while later...

The two of them quietly switched places.

Yukiko sat down in Ran's previous seat, glanced at Ran across from her, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She fell asleep without even realizing it.

She fell asleep leaning against Shiraishi Xiu, which was extremely dangerous. If the two girls hadn't been asleep and hadn't noticed anything strange, she might have been in danger of being seen through.

The most important person is still my son.

What would make things easier for her is that her son and Kogoro Mouri were several seats away on the other side, so they couldn't see her at all.

Otherwise, if her son found out that she was leaning intimately on Shiraishi Osamu's shoulder and then called Kudo Yusaku, then everything would be over, and there would be no need to hide it anymore.

This side o…

Xiao Lan stood next to Bai Shixiu, her heart suddenly racing. Smelling the masculine scent emanating from him, her face flushed involuntarily. She lowered her head in a little panic, nervously fidgeting with her fingers.

Opposite her, Sonoko, who had been keeping her eyes closed, secretly opened one eye, glanced at them, and then quickly closed her eyes again, pretending to be asleep.

At this moment...

Aside from Shiraishi Xiu, who was truly asleep, each of the three women had their own thoughts on their minds.

Chapter 0257: Another Reunion

Don't know how long.

"Mmm...mmm..."

In his dazed state, Shiraishi Xiu felt like he couldn't breathe properly. Finally, he suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for air.

"whee……"

Suddenly, I heard a mischievous laugh. Looking closer, I realized that a small hand was pinching my nose, and the person pinching my nose was none other than that wretched girl, Sonoko.

Shiraishi Osamu said helplessly, "Sonoko, just wake me up when we get there."

"Let's go, everyone's getting off the bus."

After saying that, Sonoko happily withdrew her hand from pinching his nose, and playfully jumped twice in the aisle next to him, seemingly overjoyed.

Shiraishi Osamu stood up from his seat, glanced around, and noticed that Ran and the others were not far away. He picked up his "493" backpack and followed them slowly off the Shinkansen.

As soon as he stepped onto the ground, Kogoro Mouri shook his neck: "I've been sitting for hours, I'm exhausted. But it's pretty good, the moment I stepped off, I smelled a strong aroma of ramen."

Conan sniffed lightly: "I don't feel anything. Uncle, you're just imagining things."

Kogoro Mouri said irritably, "It's your nose that's acting up, you brat."

Conan looked embarrassed and muttered, "I thought you'd lost your mind, you old geezer."

He no longer lives with Kogoro Mouri, nor has he been disciplined by him with his loving fists.

Therefore, Conan is not afraid of Kogoro Mouri much now, after all, his parents are there, so he has that much confidence.

"Ran, Sonoko, Xiu!!!"

A surprised voice rang out.

When Shiraishi and the others looked over, they saw Kazuha, dressed in school uniform, running over excitedly. He immediately surrounded the two girls and chatted excitedly.

"Ahhh!!! It's been so long since we last saw each other, I've missed you all so much."

"No, I just saw it on Mermaid Island last time."

"Haha...that's right!"

"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and go."

After chatting happily for a while, Kazuha couldn't help but urge them on, grabbing Ran and Sonoko's hands and running excitedly ahead. If it weren't for gravity, they might have flown away.

After taking the long escalator down from the platform, the group arrived at a floor filled with a dazzling array of local products and rest areas. The space seemed to have just been renovated, and the cleanliness of the area made everyone like it very much.

They took the escalator to the ground floor and finally got out of the ticket check area.

The moment you step outside, your view opens up instantly.

smell……

It tastes just like Kogoro Mouri described.

This time, Shiraishi Osamu also smelled it; the air was filled with a fragrant aroma of ramen. Just by smelling it, he knew the ramen must be delicious.

Before they knew it, everyone's stomachs started growling. Even Shiraishi Xiu couldn't resist. The aroma was just too good to be true. It was so strong that it awakened the appetite hidden deep in their hearts.

Shiraishi Osamu closed his eyes and pondered, finding the answer in his own culinary skills.

This is the flavor of a sauce from a certain prefecture.

The noodles taste like udon noodles.

Seeing their delighted expressions, He Ye felt a sense of pride, after all, this was the place she lived in, and it made her happy to be liked by others.

Sonoko asked, "Kazuha, where are we going now?"

Kazuha sniffed the aroma of ramen, then suddenly became uncertain: "Well... let me think..."

Kogoro Mori said impatiently, "Actually, I think we don't need to watch that match anymore. It's probably already started, and we won't be able to watch for long anyway. Let's just go and try some ramen instead!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded subconsciously.

There was nothing I could do; the aroma was just too enticing, and I completely forgot about the competition.

Kazuha asked, "Are you really going to choose ramen? Don't you regret it?"

Yukiko smiled and said, "Go ahead and try it. I'd like to taste this ramen too."

Seeing that no one objected, He Ye smiled and nodded, leading them forward.

Shiraishi and the others followed Kazuha's unhurried pace, observing their surroundings as they noticed there were quite a few shops. They were heading down to the underground level, and soon found themselves back outside the station, unexpectedly arriving directly in front of a ramen shop in the underground shopping arcade.

They could smell the incredibly enticing aroma from not far from the noodle shop, and just that clear whiff made them feel much more relaxed.

As we walked outside the store, we saw many food-themed cartoons and news articles posted on the walls, suggesting it was a very famous shop.

Wow! There are so many people!
