Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
“Woo…”
Shinichi Kudo looked at Xiaolan who was sobbing all the way. He could feel that the eyes of the people around him were full of contempt. They simply thought that he was a scumbag who made his girlfriend cry.
He frowned awkwardly and lowered his voice to try to comfort her:
"Xiao Lan, please stop crying. If you keep crying, your eyes will definitely get swollen. Your eyes will look like goldfish and they will be super ugly. So stop crying!"
"You're the ugly one! You're too calm. Something horrible just happened!" Mao Lilan retorted angrily. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She felt scared when she thought of the scene when the crime occurred, especially when the warm blood splashed on her face.
"I'm often at crime scenes, so I'm used to seeing them. Brother Yingsi once told me about the dismemberment case, and there are even cannibals in novels like those. These are nothing!"
Kudo Shinichi naturally couldn't tell the truth. This was the first time he had witnessed such a serious case. To be honest, he felt a little nauseous at first, but he thought that if he showed a scared expression, Xiaolan would definitely feel even more insecure, so he forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart and pretended to be calm.
"Terrible! You are so cold-blooded!"
"No, that..." Kudo Shinichi was really not good at comforting people. He danced anxiously and said, "You'd better forget it quickly. You may encounter this kind of thing often in the future. You have to get used to it quickly."
"I don't want to encounter this kind of thing often!" Mao Lilan covered her cheeks and sobbed again, this time more out of dissatisfaction and confusion. She just wanted Shinichi's comfort, but what was this guy talking about?
Kudo Shinichi sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to use the excuse of "picking Christmas gifts" to divert Xiaolan's attention, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar black figure.
Top hat, sunglasses, black suit - he is the accomplice of the silver-haired man!
What is he going to do when he looks so sneaky?
Seeing the man in sunglasses disappear at the intersection, Kudo Shinichi leaned close to Mao Lilan's ear with a serious face and said with a hint of apology in his tone:
"Sorry, Xiaolan, you go back first, I will catch up with you soon!"
"Shinichi?"
Mao Lilan lowered her hand from covering her cheek and looked up at the receding figure. Just as she was about to catch up, her shoelaces came undone. She squatted down to tie her shoelaces again. Shinichi was nowhere to be found in the crowd, and for some reason, she had a bad feeling.
She shook her head vigorously, her eyes drifting to the boy who was giving her girlfriend a Christmas present, and sighed:
"Really... in the end, you still let me down."
But what can we do?
What makes me like you is your confident look when you are reasoning with high spirits.
Mao Lilan opened her cell phone to check the time. When she found that the battery was low, she did not dare to delay and hurried to the exit of Dorobiga Paradise, determined to get home before the battery ran out.
Otherwise, my father who is waiting for me at home will worry about me.
