Ran Mouri's words made Conan Edogawa stiff.

Indeed, a month is enough time to forget someone. And the person you need to forget isn't just missing, but completely delisted. Even the most affectionate person should start to forget. After all, the living can't stare at a dead person every day, right?

Although Edogawa Conan knew that the person Xiaolan was talking about was him, unfortunately, his current elementary school student body meant that he had lost the conditions to tell Xiaolan the truth.

"As for this child."

Ran Mouri's eyes were fixed on Conan Edogawa. There was no emotion in her eyes, only deep helplessness.

"Sure enough, this child still looks too much like Shinichi. I still can't accept this child, but at least now I can separate him from Shinichi. After all, Shinichi is dead."

This sentence once again dealt a heavy blow to Conan Edogawa, leaving a bloody wound in his heart.

It seemed that Xiaolan accepted his current identity, but that was based on the fact that Xiaolan had completely and thoroughly abandoned his past identity.

But what can he do now?

He was the one who completely ruined his past identity. Could he blame Xiaolan for what he did now? No way.

Xiaolan has been troubled by his death for a month. Now that Xiaolan has finally forgotten the dead Kudo Shinichi, he cannot reveal his identity in front of Xiaolan.

Fortunately, Xiaolan never thought of him as Kudo Shinichi... It's just that he looks too much like Kudo Shinichi when he was a child, which makes Xiaolan unable to accept his current identity.

...Couldn't he be like himself? Unfortunately, Edogawa Conan couldn't say anything and could only swallow the bitterness.

"Hey……"

Maori Kogoro also knew that this would be the result, and he had no intention of forcing Xiaolan.

"That's it, then. You should continue to live with Eri. I'll take care of this kid here."

Maori Kogoro could understand his daughter's feelings very well. After all, she had a good relationship with that brat in the past. It was normal for her to have such a reaction to the sudden news of his death. He actually understood it.

"Thank you dad."

Mao Lilan smiled and thanked her father.

"Don't say thank you between father and daughter."

Looking at his daughter's smile, Kogoro Mouri felt a little more relaxed.

Looking at Xiaolan at this moment, Edogawa Conan's heartache was relieved a little, but he still blamed himself silently in his heart.

This is all my fault. If I hadn't been so impulsive, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

After that incident, he became very careful about being hit from behind.

But no matter how careful we are, there is no way to go back now.

Mao Lilan carried the bag to the side of the long table and placed the bag 1.4 on the table.

"Dad, Edogawa, these are gifts. I can't prepare breakfast and lunch, but if I have time, I'll prepare dinner and send it over."

"Oh!"

When Kogoro Mouri saw the lunch box, his eyes lit up instantly and he opened the box in no time. The food inside was still steaming and had a fragrant aroma, which was different from the instant noodles he had been eating these days.

"These days, I can finally have a good meal."

He missed his daughter's cooking skills very much at this moment. Eating instant noodles for a month was simply not a life for a human.

Now, seeing the dinner prepared by his daughter again made Kogoro Mouri almost burst into tears.

At this moment, even Edogawa Conan could no longer remain reserved.

Because he had also been eating instant noodles for a month, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Chapter 228: Improve Dad’s Food

After taking a few simple bites, Kogoro Mouri felt the beauty of life, and then quickly finished the food in the lunch box.

There is no doubt that boys eat very fast, not to mention that Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa have been eating instant noodles for a month. How can they handle a proper meal?

The meal was finished in less than five minutes.

"Hiccup~"

Burping with satisfaction, Kogoro Maori felt that this meal was the best one he had eaten recently.

"Xiaolan, how is school going lately?"

"It's fine. I'm still attending classes as usual, but I've joined one more club than before. Also, I've been going out more often lately, mostly for outdoor activities organized by the club."

The last time we saw each other was on Yueying Island, and this time we met again on a personal cruise ship.

"Your club has quite a few young ladies, and each of them is so powerful. I thought Sonoko was enough, but it turns out that the others are all at the same level as Sonoko."

Kogoro Mori was extremely emotional at this moment, and was also very confused.

"However, it's already impressive that Teitan High School has a sono. Why are there so many young ladies running out of Teitan High School recently?"

"Dad, I can't just ask these young ladies why they came to Teitan for no reason, right?"

Kogoro Mouri nodded slightly in response to his daughter's complaint.

"This is inappropriate."

The decision made by those young ladies was not something they needed to consider. Moreover, the transfer was entirely their own will. It couldn't be forced by someone, right? Who had the ability to force a group of young ladies to transfer schools?

It's certainly inappropriate, but it's also really irrational.

Conan Edogawa also knew that it was inappropriate, but what was the logic and reason behind this behavior? Without so many clues, he couldn't make random guesses.

"right."

As Mao Lilan spoke, she put away the lunch boxes.

"Although I don't know the specific reason, the atmosphere in the club is pretty good. We go out for club activities every weekend, and sometimes we even go out on our free afternoons."

"A free afternoon..."

Kogoro Mouri never thought that a normal student's afternoon was free.

"If I take leave so often, won't the school have any objections?"

"Of course not. It's not just about Shinomiya-san investing in the school, but also about Shinomiya-san and the others having excellent academic performance."

"At Shuchiin, Shinomiya-san has always been ranked second in academics. The others aren't much worse off. Sonoko and I are also keeping up. The only one who struggles with studying is Renren."

"Lianlian?"

Why does it sound a bit feminine? But no matter how hard Kogoro Mouri thought, he couldn't figure out who this Lianlian was.

Seeing that her father couldn't remember, Mao Lilan reminded him.

"There's a boy walking with Sonoko and me on Moon Shadow Island. His name is Amamiya Ren. Sonoko and I have known him for a long time, and last time Sonoko said it was too familiar, so we changed the name. Also, Renren has actually started dating Sonoko."

"Oh!"

At first, Kogoro Mouri thought that his daughter had changed her mind, but he didn't expect that she was dating Sonoko.

"No wonder he's the only boy in your circle."

I knew it... Edogawa Conan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had been wondering if there was a young lady dating a boy, and the first person he thought of was Sonoko. He didn't expect that he would be right.

I didn't expect that there are people who like Yuanzi, the chatterbox. It's really not easy.

She has a somewhat carefree personality and a bit of a nymphomaniac. These characteristics are all part of Yuanzi, and these alone are enough to discourage many boys.

After knowing Sonoko's family background, he probably couldn't resist the temptation of money. In the end, what he liked was not Sonoko as a person, but the money of Sonoko's family.

It's not that he was thinking in an extreme way, but because he had seen such a situation before, he could more rationally realize that the possibility was very high.

In addition, according to the information he knew, it was very likely that Sonoko would inherit the Suzuki Zaibatsu in the future. In this case, Sonoko's other half would also inherit the behemoth Suzuki Zaibatsu. Naturally, this would directly affect Sonoko's choice of her other half in the future.

Perhaps in the end, there is a high probability that half of Yuanzi's future will be designated.

I don't know if it's what I thought. If it is, then Sonoko is in trouble, and the final result is bound to be a breakup.

Anyway, judging from the current results, Edogawa Conan is not optimistic about the boy named Amamiya Ren.

"Okay, then, Dad, Edogawa, I'll go back first."

After packing up the lunch box, Mao Lilan was ready to leave. The purpose of coming here this time had been achieved, and by the way, she also improved her father's food.

Next time when I’m free in the afternoon, I can help prepare dinner for my dad so that he doesn’t have to eat instant noodles all day long.

Kogoro Mouri looked at the sky outside and then gave instructions.

"Xiaolan, don't stay outside too long tonight."

"Don't worry, Dad."

Mao Lilan smiled, then raised her hand and walked out of the office carrying a bag containing two lunch boxes.

As she walked downstairs, Mao Lilan could feel a pair of eyes staring at her from behind, from the direction of the second-floor window of the office. Although she felt it, she completely ignored it and continued walking towards the direction of Station 137 without stopping.

The person who stuck his head out of the window on the second floor of the office was naturally Conan Edogawa.

"What's wrong, little ghost? Are you bewitched by my daughter?"

Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting on the sofa and lighting a cigarette, joked with a smile.

"Sister Xiaolan...it seems like she really doesn't like me."

"Well~ That kid doesn't hate kids. He just can't accept that your face looks so much like that kid's. If your face didn't look so much like that brat, Xiaolan wouldn't react so strongly to you."

Kogoro Mouri also knew that this incident was quite shocking to a child. A child's fragile and sensitive mind was easily affected. Even if this kid was very smart, even smarter than that kid Kudo Shinichi, he was still a child after all.

"A month still doesn't seem like enough time, but judging from Xiaolan's attitude towards you today, she should be over it."

"Your brother's matter has had a great impact on her. But the dead are dead, and the living must continue to live. It's good that Xiaolan can accept the current situation."

"Little ghost, don't blame Xiaolan for being so cold to you."

"Ah."

After listening to Uncle Maori's words, Edogawa Conan could only endure the discomfort in his heart and agree.

Chapter 229 Bring your boyfriend along

After leaving the detective agency, Mao Lilan felt that the gaze behind her had disappeared.

"It's really troublesome."

He complained a little.

"But it's okay then."

The purpose of her coming back this time was, on the one hand, to improve her father's food, and on the other hand, which was relatively more critical, to relieve Edogawa Conan's vigilance against Amemiya.

"Detectives are troublesome. Whenever they encounter something, they tend to speculate and bring themselves into a lot of trouble."

If Kudo Shinichi had not become a so-called detective, perhaps he would not have been hit from behind by a dangerous person that night, and he would not have to risk his own identity to avoid danger now.

Mao Lilan shook her head slightly. She was beginning to feel that Kudo Shinichi's personality might not be able to change. He had his own pursuits and his own persistence. If this part changed, he might think that he would become unlike himself.

After a month of silence and a change in mentality, Mao Lilan's passion for her childhood sweetheart has subsided.

She had already determined in her heart that Kudo Shinichi was dead. Now the only one who existed was Edogawa Conan, the second son of Aunt Yukiko and Uncle Kudo. There would be no other.

"Xiaolan?"

Suddenly, a voice with some questions and guesses sounded, making Mao Lilan subconsciously look in the direction of the voice.

She saw a mature woman in a yellow-green dress and slightly wavy long hair looking at her, as if she was also confirming her identity.

"You really are Xiaolan."

Seeing Mouri Ran's reaction, the mature woman walked in front of Mouri Ran with a bag on her right shoulder, but she was still a little confused at the moment. After all, she was suddenly stopped while walking on the street, and it seemed that the person really knew her.

"็ Hello Who are you?"

"Oh, it's been so long that you've forgotten me? It really can't be helped. The last time we met was five years ago~"

"five years ago……"

Mao Lilan looked carefully at the woman in front of her and tried to search her memory seriously, especially the memory from five years ago, and then she suddenly remembered.

"Are you...Aunt Yumi?"
