"What a pity, little friend, why did you meddle in other people's business?"
...
"Officer Sato, is Conan and the others in trouble?"
Ayumi's big eyes were filled with concern for Conan, though of course, part of it was also out of worry for Takagi, well, only a small part.
Miwako turned her head to look in the direction of Tokyo Tower, then turned back and reached out to pat Ayumi's head, reassuring her, "Don't worry, Conan isn't just any ordinary kid."
"We have to trust them both..."
Ayumi nodded heavily, then looked up at the tower, as if seeing Conan through its steel facade, and murmured, "Please don't let anything happen..."

Xiaolan turned to look at Yuanzi and asked, "Yuanzi, how did you do on your math test?"

Sonoko lay sprawled on the table, looking utterly dejected. "I know these math problems, but they don't want to know me."

Sonoko chuckled twice and said, "You guessed right, didn't you?"
"Speaking of which, the sirens outside haven't stopped all day."
The sirens outside gave Xiaolan a topic to change the subject.
"Yeah, I had no idea what happened."
Sonoko's attention was successfully diverted. She turned her head to look out the window, and after a few seconds, she turned back to Ran and asked, "I need to go to the restroom, want to come with me?"
Xiaolan shook her head: "No need."
Seeing this, Sonoko didn't say anything more, got up and walked out of the classroom.
Ran sat in her seat, took out her phone, and started looking at the text messages Shinichi had sent her.
