Chapter 557 Nothing happened.
...
After waking up, Qianzhu washed up and made a simple breakfast. After eating, she went to the piano room to stay.
Around noon, he received a call from Conan.
"Qianzhu, are you alright? I just heard from Brother Liu that you weren't feeling well again last night."
As soon as the call connected, Conan asked the question directly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. You're all just too nervous," Qianzhu smiled and replied softly.
"That's good." Conan on the other side breathed a sigh of relief.
Qianzhu smiled, "Alright, you must have something else you wanted to say when you called, right?"
Conan was silent for a moment before saying, "I want to ask if Brother Liu was with you last night?"
Qianzhu pretended to recall for a moment, "He was indeed here last night, but I don't know when he left. Did something happen last night?"
His tone was tinged with doubt.
"Actually, we saw Brother Liu at the ski resort last night, but we didn't know if it was someone who looked similar, so we came to confirm."
Conan revealed a little, but concealed a great deal.
"So that's how it is."
After listening to Conan say a few words, both of them hung up the phone.
Emerging from the phone booth, Conan casually sat on a roadside bench, arms crossed, lost in thought.
If Brother Liu wasn't lying, then was the person they saw last night someone who looked a lot like Brother Liu?
Conan took a deep breath and shook his head.
Perhaps we can try to probe a little when we visit the art exhibition tomorrow.
Having made up his mind, he got up and returned to the Mouri Detective Agency.
...
The next day at noon, after having lunch, everyone prepared to head to the art exhibition venue.
Liu Qingyao drove up to the area below the Mouri Detective Agency, got out of the car and waved to Mouri Kogoro and his two companions who were already standing downstairs across the street.
Kogoro Mouri was overjoyed to finally have a day when he didn't have to drive himself, and immediately sat in the passenger seat.
Chizuru, sitting in the back seat, greeted Ran and Conan.
"Good afternoon, Qianzhu. Are you feeling alright now?" Ran asked him with concern as soon as she got in the car.
Qianzhu smiled helplessly and shook her head gently. "No, I brought the necessary medicine. It's just an art exhibition, nothing should happen."
Although he wasn't entirely sure what would happen, Ran Mouri felt a little more at ease.
The journey to the art exhibition was uneventful, and nothing happened during the exhibition itself.
Around three or four in the afternoon, the group of people, except for Conan and Kogoro Mouri, left the exhibition hall and returned to their car, satisfied after browsing around.
Kogoro Mouri never expected an art exhibition to be so big; after walking around it, he was completely exhausted.
Slumped in the passenger seat, Kogoro Mouri closed his eyes like a salted fish, too lazy to even turn over.
Glancing at Kogoro Mouri and Conan, Liu Qingyao couldn't help but smile. "How about we go have dinner first before heading back?"
"Ah, great idea!" Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri sat up straight as if he had been fully revived and gave Liu Qingyao a thumbs up.
“I happen to know a newly opened restaurant that’s pretty good.” Liu Qingyao smiled, glanced at the convenience store not far away before getting into the car, and bent down to ask them, “Would you like to buy some drinks? You must all be thirsty after walking around for so long.”
