Before Ran Mouri could finish her words, Judy's scrutinizing eyes had already fallen on Subaru Okiya.
"Before I could ask, who is this gentleman?"
Seeing that Judy's eyes fell on Subaru Okiya, and there was a hint of sharpness in them, as if she wanted to see through his skin and see his inner self, Edogawa Conan became a little anxious, and without waiting for Subaru Okiya to speak, he interrupted Judy's observation.
"Ahhh! Subaru-nii is an older brother that Shinichi-nii knows. The house he rented before was burned down due to an arson case, so I... I mean, after Shinichi-nii learned about this, he asked me to invite Subaru-nii to live in Shinichi-nii's house temporarily."
Having almost let the cat out of the bag, Edogawa Conan quickly gave a few dry laughs and threw the blame on his own body.
[Conan: What does what Kudo Shinichi did have to do with me, Edogawa Conan! So, teacher Judy, stop glaring at me. It wasn't me who made them live together...]
[Hilarious! Talking about the years when the big account took the blame for me.]
Because Edogawa Conan's operation was too skillful, the comment area was filled with laughter again.
The story in the comics continues——
Subaru Okiya glanced at Conan Edogawa for a moment, wondering what he was thinking.
Solana showed a half-smile on her face and glanced at him in return, but did not expose his intention.
Judy frowned, looking unhappy and worried.
Only Ran Mouri knew nothing. With Kudo Shinichi's endorsement, she was not worried at all that Okiya Subaru was a bad person, and naturally she couldn't think of suspecting him of anything.
She gave a slightly teasing smile, with a soft light in her eyes. Although she was gossiping, it did not make people feel bored. Instead, from her attitude, one could feel her closeness to the two of them.
"Yeah, when Shinichi called me, he specifically mentioned that Okiya-san also likes Sherlock Holmes, so he must not be a bad person."
When saying this, Mao Lilan's eyes curved, as if she found it a little funny, but because the person who said this was someone she trusted, even though the other party's reason was a little strange, she still chose to believe it.
"Maybe it's because Shinichi also likes Holmes? But I've been going to his house often recently to help with cleaning, but I haven't seen Solana much. How come now..." she ran out shopping with him?
In fact, Ran Mouri was not really cleaning the house for Shinichi Kudo.
After all, in her opinion, Kudo Shinichi did not handle this matter very well. No matter what, Okiya Subaru is a man, and a stranger to Solana, but he invited him to stay in his house.
Although theoretically, this is his own home and he can let anyone live there.
But no matter what, Solana is a girl.
Letting a grown man live with a girl, and when neither of them knows each other...
Even though the other party had Kudo Shinichi's guarantee, Mao Lilan was still a little worried, so she would go to Kudo Shinichi's house from time to time under the pretext of cleaning.
This glance also made her realize that Solana seemed to be trying to avoid suspicion.
After all, nine times out of ten she was not at home. Apart from avoiding suspicion or hating Subaru Okiya so much that she didn't want to be in the same room with him, Ran Mouri could not think of any other reason.
But she didn't think it was annoying.
After all, they didn't know each other before.
Moreover, neither Mr. Okiya nor Solana has an annoying personality. We haven't even been together for a few days, so how could we dislike each other?
However, this series of psychological activities was not portrayed in the anime, so many people who were reading the comics at that time began to criticize her for rushing to help others clean up the house before getting married, which was too cheap.
Of course, there were also other people who saw the concerns in Mao Lilan's heart. In addition, from Mao Lilan's perspective, her good friend and secret crush since childhood had an important case to investigate, which prevented him from going home for a long time. His parents were abroad all year round, and there was always no one at home. So it was not a big deal for the other party to ask her to help him look after the house, so she had to refuse.
So this group of people didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior, and naturally they started arguing with another group of people.
However, the people still in the play have no idea what is happening in the other world.
After hearing Ran Mouri say that she would visit Kudo Shinichi's house from time to time recently, Judy's expression looked a little better.
Obviously, she understood what she meant, but Judy was not like Ran Mouri, who believed that Subaru Okiya was a good person just because of what Kudo Shinichi said.
"Just because someone likes Sherlock Holmes, it doesn't mean they must be a good person. Isn't that a bit too much of a joke?"
She muttered softly, looked at the other person inconspicuously, and then moved her gaze to Solana before the other person noticed.
"Why don't you just come back and stay at my place? It's not appropriate to always trouble Mr. Kudo and the others. And Mr. Okiya... Of course, I don't mean to say anything bad about you, but Solana will probably be very uncomfortable with having a stranger around, right?"
Otherwise she wouldn't go out so often.
Judy thought.
Anyway, Vermouth has already run away.
