Chapter 368 What does it mean to be considered an acquaintance?
Conan took the sensor watch from Professor Agasa and smiled. "Great! I'll take it to him right now!"
Having said that, he happily turned and ran away.
"Wait, I'll go with you."
A cold voice came from behind him. Conan turned around and saw Ai Haibara carrying a bag and following behind him.
He looked at the bag with curiosity. "What's that?"
"It has nothing to do with you," Ai Haibara replied indifferently.
Conan gave a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, shrugged, and didn't ask any more questions.
The two of them arrived at the entrance of the Chino residence, rang the doorbell, and waited a short while before someone came to open the door.
"Greetings, you two." Percy greeted them with a smile and a polite bow.
Conan: !?
Where is Qianzhu?
Percy gave them a meaningful look and turned to the side. "Mr. Chino and the young master are in the living room."
Ai Haibara glanced at Percy with a puzzled look, and frowned almost imperceptibly.
What's going on? Has Kudo gotten involved in another case and dragged someone into it?
As soon as they entered the house, they heard Qianzhu coughing, so they quickened their pace and walked to the living room.
Seeing that he only had a slight cough and seemed fine, the two breathed a sigh of relief before turning to look at the calm-looking boy sitting on the single sofa.
He was holding a glass of water, clearly aware of their arrival, but he still calmly picked up the glass and took a sip.
For some reason, the blindfold over his eyes gave him an air of mystery, as if he were hiding in a fog.
Chizuru turned her head to look at Conan and Ai Haibara, a faint smile appearing on her face, and asked softly, "Why did you two come here?"
"Oh, we've brought you something." Conan walked over and sat down next to him, then handed him the improved sensor watch.
"Hmm? What is this?" Qianzhu looked at the watch in his hand, which looked no different from the one he wore on his wrist, with a hint of doubt.
"This is a new sensor watch improved by Professor Agasa. It's said to have many more functions than the previous one," Conan explained.
"I see. Then I'll trouble Ai to thank Professor Agasa for me later." Chizuru smiled gently, then took off the old version of the sensor watch and put on the new version.
Ai Haibara nodded, put her small bag aside, and then sat down on the sofa as well.
These two probably won't be leaving anytime soon.
Percy, who was standing to the side, glanced at them, then turned around and went to the kitchen to make a pot of tea.
Conan was immediately puzzled.
How come she knows this place so well, as if she had investigated it beforehand?
He moved slightly closer to Qianzhu and whispered to him, "Qianzhu, do you know them?"
Qianzhu opened his mouth slightly, but before he could utter a sound, a cold and calm voice answered first.
"We know each other, so what?"
Kita Aya placed the water glass back on the table, making a soft, crisp clinking sound.
Conan: "..."
This hearing...
That's really impressive.
Upon hearing this, Qianzhu seemed to sigh silently with a hint of helplessness, and nodded slightly in agreement, "I guess you could say we know each other."
"What do you mean by 'we're acquainted'?" Kita Ayane took the tea that Percy had specially cooled down for her.
Qianzhu lowered her head slightly and remained silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
