It was around 7 p.m. outside the Rice Krispies Restaurant.
As night falls, the street lights and neon lights on the roadside light up, but the snowflakes in the sky are getting bigger and more numerous, falling on the ground in a thick layer.
Conan, Xiaolan, and Kaito walked out of the hotel together. Looking at the world covered in silver, Xiaolan couldn't help but let out an "ah" and then said, "Is it snowing outside? It's so beautiful... Shinichi, Conan, how about we walk back together?"
"Uh...well..."
Why walk back together? We still want to run away as soon as possible! ~
Kuroba Kaito smiled dryly and scratched his head, muttering in his heart. At this moment, he heard Uncle Maori standing on the roadside cough heavily twice, and then said with a dark face: "...it's so cold. What should I do if I catch a cold after walking back? Let’s take a taxi back! Also, why did this kid come out with us?"
At the end of Uncle Maori's words, he pointed at Kuroba Kaito with a look of disgust, while Xiaolan pouted and said dissatisfied: "Dad! What are you talking about! Shinichi hasn't come back for a long time, please." Is there any problem with him going home for a meal?”
Is there a problem? Is this a big problem?
You writer’s pig, even if you feed it to my tender cabbage, it actually wants to feed it to my house...
Do you believe I fried you?
Uncle Maori turned his head and glared at Kuroba Kaito, then forcibly put away his dissatisfaction, trying to maintain his adult demeanor and said: "Well... okay! In this case, Xiaolan, go buy more ingredients. ...Well, isn't there a supermarket over there? Let's just buy it here instead of going home to buy it - well, I'll wait here for you to come back!"
"Well, okay!" Xiaolan looked at the supermarket not far away, nodded slightly, and then said with a smile, "Conan, Shinichi, let's go together!"
"Okay, Sister Xiaolan!"
Conan nodded and agreed, but Kaito was heartbroken by Uncle Mouri's gaze. He hesitated and was about to agree, when he saw Uncle Mouri reaching out and holding Kaito's shoulders and said: "...Xiaolan, this kid is... Guest, what’s the point of asking guests to help? Just go with Conan!"
"Ah? Really, dad... Shinichi is not an outsider!"
Xiaolan rolled her eyes. Uncle Maoli was stunned for a moment, and then the word "well" appeared on his forehead——
What do you mean by not being an outsider? Could it be that the Kudo family's pig has...
Uncle Maori turned his head and glared at Kaito in warning. Kaito couldn't help but tremble, and then weakly followed Uncle Maori's words and said: "...then what...Xiaolan, I'd better not go, you go with Conan." That’s it…”
"This...Okay then! Then you and my father can wait here for us to come back!" Xiaolan thought for a while and agreed, then put her hands on her hips and said, "...Also, I warn you, if you dare again If you sneak away, be careful with my fists!"
Xiaolan waved his small fist threateningly, Kaito nodded repeatedly, and after watching Conan and Xiaolan walk away, Kaito turned to look at Uncle Maori, only to see Uncle Maori staring at him with a fierce expression.
Looking at Uncle Maori's eyes, Kaito said "uh" and then greeted weakly: "Hello, Uncle Maori!"
"Yeah!" Uncle Maoli responded heavily, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, put one in his mouth and lit it.
Facing Uncle Mori's attitude, Kaito felt very restrained, and he was thinking about going to Gunma County to find blue sea gems. After saying "Huh", he raised his hand and looked at his watch, and then said with a dry smile: " Ah...Uncle Maoli, it suddenly occurred to me that I have another case to investigate, so I must leave immediately..."
"...So, Xiaolan, please help me explain it!"
As Kaito spoke, he ran away to the side. Uncle Maori was stunned for a few seconds before he complained bitterly: "...Why is this impolite brat busier than me? Damn brat, in the end, Please don't make my daughter sad, otherwise..."
Uncle Maoli glanced around and happened to see an advertisement for microwave ovens playing on the big advertising screen in the building next to him. He gritted his teeth and said:
"...I microwaved you!!"
…
It was around 7 p.m. in the supermarket near the Rice Krispies Restaurant.
Amidst the "Welcome" voice from the staff, Conan and Xiaolan walked into the store together, and then Xiaolan asked: "Hello, we want to buy some ingredients..."
"Are they the ingredients?" The staff member smiled slightly, then pointed to a certain location and said, "...Miss, the fresh food area in our store is over there..."
"I know, thank you!" Xiaolan thanked her, then stretched out her hand to hold Conan and said with a smile, "...Conan, let's go shopping together! By the way, what do you think of us eating Xiao Long Bao? But Making xiaolongbao seems a bit time-consuming... Well, how about making mushroom soup instead? But dad wants to drink beef soup..."
Xiaolan talked nonchalantly, and Conan curled his lips speechlessly after listening to Xiaolan's words——
By the way, aren't xiaolongbao, mushroom soup, etc. his favorite dishes?
It's just that Xiaolan is working so hard to prepare all this just to summon the fake Kaitou Kidd... It's really unpleasant to think about it now!
Conan was muttering in his heart, and suddenly he heard Xiaolan's "ahh" and stopped.
Conan was stunned for a moment, and stopped himself. Then he followed Xiaolan's gaze and saw a man wearing a woolen hat standing in front of him, holding a can of coffee in one hand and looking at Xiaolan. .
Seeing the appearance of the man in front of him, Conan's pupils shrank, his eyes narrowed slightly, his expression solemn——
This person is...Akai Shuichi? ! How come he is here?
etc! Itakura Taku, a person related to the black organization, has been living in the Rice Krispies Hotel during this period. Could it be that...Akai Shuichi is following him?
But...this isn't right either!
If the FBI people had been following Taku Itakura, who hadn't left the house for several days, they should have noticed it long ago...
Conan frowned. After Akai Shuichi was silent for a few seconds, he suddenly said: "Well...it turns out to be you. We meet again..."
"Um, hello."
Xiaolan nodded, then moved her body slightly, allowing Shuichi Akai to walk past.
After watching Akai Shuichi check out and leave at the front desk, Xiaolan blinked, and then suddenly whispered with a smile:
"Conan, guess who the person just now is?"
