Edogawa Conan also knew that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, he would probably have no way to break free from Mao Lilan's grasp. He rolled his eyes and pretended to be anxious and said:

"Sister Xiaolan, please let me go. I'm not going anywhere. I just want to go to the bathroom!"

"Really?"

However, Mao Lilan didn't believe this reason at all.

She looked at Edogawa Conan with suspicion and said with confusion:

"But the direction you were running in didn't seem to be the direction of the bathroom, did you?"

So what kind of restroom did you go to?

It can't be the bathroom outside the house, right?

The key is that there is no public toilet nearby...

Thinking of this, there was more suspicion in Mao Lilan's eyes.

After seeing the suspicion in her eyes, Edogawa Conan also woke up from his anxiety.

It's a pity...

His struggle weakened, but in order to prevent Mao Lilan from noticing something was wrong, he still shook symbolically, while his mind was brainstorming, trying to think of a suitable reason.

But it didn't.

After all, he is no longer the 17-year-old high school detective - Kudo Shinichi, but a 7-year-old elementary school student - Edogawa Conan.

So how ruthless a person must be to allow an elementary school student to run outside in the middle of the night wearing only pajamas and slippers?

unless……

He glanced at Mao Lilan out of the corner of his eye and saw the doubt on her face. The strength in his hands became much lighter, as if if he struggled a little more, he could completely break free from the restraints.

But Edogawa Conan didn't dare to struggle anymore.

After all, unless the other party has begun to suspect that there is something wrong with his identity, it is impossible for them to allow his actions.

Under Haibara Ai's repeated warnings, even though Edogawa Conan initially wanted to tell Mouri Ran his true identity, he now doesn't want her to know.

He didn't want her to get hurt because of him.

but……

He looked hesitantly at the gate that seemed so close yet so far away.

never mind……

Edogawa Conan sighed silently in his heart, but he was not completely discouraged.

After all, if the man who was also wearing a black windbreaker was really related to the Black Organization, and he came here this time because he suspected that there was something wrong with the Mori family and came here specifically to monitor them, then he would definitely appear again later.

He just needs to sit back and wait.

However, just as he was thinking this, a doubtful voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Huh? This person..."

When Conan Edogawa came to his senses, he found that he had been carried to the bathroom door by Ran Mouri without him knowing when.

It turned out that although Mao Lilan suspected that what he just said was just an excuse and he didn't actually want to go to the toilet at all, she was also afraid that he was half asleep, so he ran towards the door. In fact, he really wanted to go to the toilet.

So when he was stunned, she thought about it and took him to the right place.

Next to the bathroom, there is a window for ventilation. It was here that Mouri Ran saw Shuichi Akai, who had finished his coffee and was slowly walking back.

This made her stunned for a moment, and her memories instantly went back to the summer of one year ago.

That was the summer when she first met 'Solana'.

It was also her feelings that changed, and she really fell in love with Shinichi's summer.

But Edogawa Conan didn't know these things.

He went to help Mao Lilan pick up something that day, and did not see Akai Shuichi. So when he saw Mao Lilan staring blankly at the figure of the man in black downstairs, he felt a sense of crisis on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also worried that such a direct gaze would make the other party discover and hurt Mao Lilan, so he could not help but swing his feet in the air and called softly:

"Sister Xiaolan? What's wrong?"

"Ah...nothing...nothing..."

As Mao Lilan spoke, she finally turned her gaze away from the person downstairs. However, even though she said this, there was a hint of hesitation between her eyebrows, as if in her opinion, the other person should not be here.

This made Conan Edogawa even more worried.

He looked up at Mao Lilan and saw that she still glanced downstairs from time to time. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Could it be that Sister Xiaolan saw someone she knew?"

As he said this, Edogawa Conan pretended to be very interested and wanted to lean on the window to see what was outside that attracted Ran Mouri's attention.

"I want to see it too! I want to see it too! Could it be that Shinichi-nii is back?!"

Now the person who started to cover up was Ran Mouri.

After all, she knew very well how curious Edogawa Conan was, and although his purpose was uncertain, his identity was undoubtedly FBI.

So there is no need to think about it. Ran Mouri also knows that there must be a reason why an FBI agent who is supposed to be in the United States appears here, so she naturally will not allow Edogawa Conan to disturb the other party from performing his mission.

"Conan! Didn't you say you wanted to go to the bathroom? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Edogawa Conan's body stiffened instantly. Although he quickly returned to normal, he didn't dare to make a fuss anymore.

He only saw his eyebrows curved, his right hand gently placed behind his head, and his smile was a little dry:

"No, I'll go now~"

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the bathroom.
