However, after the bathroom door was completely closed, Edogawa Conan's expression changed instantly.

The smile that was originally on his face disappeared from his face in an instant.

Xiaolan knows that man.

He said firmly in his heart.

And she seemed to know the other person's identity, and in her heart, the other person should not be here.

But how did she know him?

Edogawa Conan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

After all, before he became a child, he and she were rarely separated. From the age of 4, they went to school together, played together, and even went out together during holidays.

As for after he became smaller, although in the eyes of Ran Mouri they had not seen each other for a long time, in fact, "Kudo Shinichi" had never left her side.

So Edogawa Conan couldn't figure out when she met that man no matter how hard she tried.

That man doesn't look like a good person at first glance, and he's very likely a bad guy...

He scratched his head in annoyance, making his already sticky hair even more messy.

perhaps……

Should he ask using Kudo Shinichi's identity?

Of course, he didn't have any other intentions, he was just simply afraid that the other party would hurt Xiaolan.

Yes, that's right, that's it.

Just like he would investigate the newly arrived doctor.

I'm just worried about Xiaolan's safety.

Conan Edogawa thought about it, and the next day, while Ran Mouri was cooking, he ran to the public telephone booth downstairs and called Ran Mouri.

'Beep-beep-beep-'

The phone rang a few times before Mao Lilan, who was cooking in the kitchen, answered it.

"Hello, may I ask..."

Mao Lilan was about to ask who the person on the other side was, but her voice suddenly paused. Apparently, she thought of something and unconsciously lowered her voice and asked:

"Is that Shinichi?"

"It's me, Xiaolan."

Edogawa Conan put the voice-changing bow tie to his lips, and his voice immediately changed from a childish voice to the clear voice that belonged only to 'Kudo Shinichi'.

Ran Mao Li on the opposite side was also happy when she heard his voice.

She had always been worried about him, fearing that he might encounter problems while investigating the case. But when she heard his voice sound the same as usual, and that he was not in any danger, Mao Lilan finally felt relieved. However, she was still worried, so after relaxing a little, she approached and asked:

"Shinichi, when are you planning on coming back? Hasn't that case you mentioned you wanted to investigate been solved yet?"

She wanted to ask Edogawa if Conan was really not you? Didn't you encounter some danger while investigating the case and then be turned into a child?

But until the end, she just opened her mouth and didn't ask the question.

Even if that was the case, she asked, he couldn't tell her directly.

Otherwise he would have said it long ago during the school festival.

Mao Lilan thought about it and couldn't help laughing at her own suspicion, but she didn't know that her question also made Edogawa Conan stunned for a moment.

"Ah...that case you're talking about is still under investigation."

His brain was working rapidly, but he continued calmly:

"Speaking of which, Xiaolan, have you seen any suspicious people near your home recently?"

"Suspicious person?"

Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment.

She was wondering if the FBI agent she saw in the early hours of the morning was a suspicious person.

After all, normally speaking, the other party is an FBI agent, so the word "suspicious" should not be used to describe him.

But an American FBI agent showed up in another country, stayed up late at night, and went downstairs to smoke in someone else's house...

This behavior doesn't look like simple sightseeing. Maybe he just happened to walk nearby?

So compared to a coincidence, Mao Lilan felt that he was more like stalking her.

But I was watching them downstairs...

For her, this behavior can indeed be described as "suspicious", right?

Mao Lilan was a little hesitant, but thinking that the person opposite was Shinichi, she hesitated for a moment and then whispered to him:

"There is indeed one person whose behavior is very suspicious, but he shouldn't be a bad person..."

Hearing this, Edogawa Conan's eyes darkened and his voice became much more serious.

"Can I know the reason? Why do you think he's not a bad person? Is it because you know him?"

As he spoke, Edogawa Conan revealed his true intentions and directly exposed his ultimate goal. However, Mao Li Ran obviously did not realize that the last sentence was what he cared about most, so in response to his question, she just pursed her lips and explained in a low voice the other party's identity and how she knew him.

"It was when we encountered the silver-haired killer in America. Didn't you go pick up my handkerchief that day? Then that gentleman showed up and told me there was a silver-haired killer nearby and told me to go home as soon as possible. I saw the FBI logo on the back of his shirt."

Ran Mouri whispered something that Kudo Shinichi didn't know.

"Actually, my memory of that day has always been a little vague."

After all, she had a high fever that day, and coupled with the blow of that case, Mao Lilan couldn't even survive the confrontation between him and the silver-haired killer, and fainted directly.
