Chapter 99 Are You Really Not Cheating on Me?
In the coffee shop.
Conan, who was sitting next to Mao Li Ran, was in a very weird mood.
Early this morning, Mao Lilan dressed up carefully and then slipped out the door beautifully, with the reason being "to meet Kudo Shinichi".
Conan suddenly became alert after being confused. He followed her to the coffee shop as if he was facing a formidable enemy, but he couldn't find out who Mao Lilan wanted to meet. She only said that it was an "important person".
All his attempts to act cute and roll around were ineffective, so Conan could only sit there with his hands behind his back and sulk. At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.
He sat up and turned his head.
They saw Jiang Xia standing next to their seats, giving them a friendly look.
Conan suddenly looked like he was struck by lightning.
He was stunned for two seconds before thawing from his petrified state. He looked at Jiang Xia with a sorrowful look that said, "I treated you as a brother, but you..." "Why is it you?! When did you start... mmmmmm!"
A vein popped out on Mao Lilan's forehead, and she pressed Conan's mouth: "Sorry, the child is ignorant."
Jiang Xia shook his head kindly: "It's okay."
He put his drink down and walked away.
…
Conan was stunned, and his eyes, which were covered by jealousy, regained their vitality. He finally realized that Jiang Xia was wearing a waiter's uniform and holding a tray in his hand, as if he was working.
After coming to this conclusion, Conan's logic of being offline slowly came back a little - if Xiaolan wanted to see Jiang Xia, there was no need to meet in such a far place, and she would not choose to come and cause trouble when Jiang Xia was working...
It would be easy if it wasn’t Jiangxia.
Conan took a deep breath and stood up again - he didn't believe that Xiaolan, the "important person", was smarter or more handsome than him.
…
Ran Mao Li did not notice Conan's burning gaze.
Of course, she didn't come to meet her boyfriend today.
Instead, he made an appointment to meet with Hibiki Eri, her biological mother.
Ten years ago, Kisaki Eri and Maori Kogoro had a quarrel and separated, and the mother and daughter had few opportunities to meet.
Mao Lilan always felt that these backgrounds were too heavy for a first-grade kid, so she refused to tell Conan who the "important person" was and wanted to persuade Conan to leave.
Thinking of Conan who refused to leave, Mao Lilan looked around in confusion, and suddenly found a cake shop with a long queue across the street.
With such a long queue, the cakes in the store must be delicious...
As she was thinking, an illusory light bulb suddenly popped up above Mao Lilan's head.
"I remember you like sweets, right?" Mao Lilan smiled and touched Conan's head, "Sister will go across the street to buy a piece of cake, you can take it back to eat, okay?"
Having said that, she stood up and walked out.
Conan silently watched her back through the floor-to-ceiling window.
As soon as Mouri Ran entered the store opposite, Conan immediately stood up and slipped to the counter.
He found Jiang Xia and asked stealthily, "Um, do you know who Xiaolan is here to see today?"
Jiang Xia looked down at him: "..." It seems that since the last time he took off his vest in the KTV, Conan has been letting himself go. Now this fake child in front of him is completely like "Kudo Shinichi".
Speaking of which…
Jiang Xia suddenly remembered that he had to find time to remind Shirley in the future... Well, now she has probably changed her name to Huiyuan Ai. Remind Huiyuan Ai not to sell out "Jiang Xia"'s identity as a worker in the organization, so that he can continue to be a good citizen in the eyes of the Red Party and avoid harassment.
However, there is no need to rush this matter. According to Haibara Ai's personality, even if I don't remind her, she probably won't say anything.
…
Jiang Xia pondered over something completely irrelevant for a while.
Then he looked at Conan who was nervously waiting for an answer and pretended to shake his head as hard as he could: "I don't know, there is too little information. And I just came here today, and I may not have been in this store as long as you."
"Is that so..." Conan was a little disappointed.
Without Jiang Xia's help in cheating and catching his rival, he could only return to his seat and stare at the other guests, trying to find out who Mao Lilan was dating.
…
Jiang Xia began to serve the dishes seriously.
After being busy for a while, he wiped his hands behind the bar, glanced around the store, and his eyes fell on the customers who had just walked in.
These people gradually came into the store after Mao Lilan left.
Conan's gaze was also focused on these people with a grim look - in his opinion, these were all Mouri Ran's "date suspects."
The table where Conan was sitting was right in the middle.
On the tables on both sides of him sat a handsome, flashy-dressed playboy.
On the other side, there was a very beautiful middle-aged woman with her hair tied up and bright and sharp eyes.
Conan looked back and forth for a while and felt that the middle-aged woman looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.
It doesn't matter if you can't remember. Conan quickly turned his eyes away from her - now, he didn't care about the women in the store. What he wanted to find was the mysterious bastard man who came to date Xiaolan...
…
Jiang Xia was holding a cup of coffee and passing by the table.
Conan was seen leaning on the back of the chair, staring at the playboy sitting next to him with a resentful look that only a murderer could have.
——When this guy made the phone call, he boasted to his friends that he had “dated a pure little girl.”
Conan eavesdropped for a while and mistakenly thought that the Playboy was dating Ran Mouri.
The fake child's eyes gradually became gloomy, and his hand was eager to touch the switch of the foot-strengthening shoes.
