It's the weekend.

Although Sou Takuya usually likes to sleep in on weekend mornings, because he accepted Suzuki Ayako's request, Sou Takuya had no choice but to get up before the time to go out.

After taking a quick shower, Sotakuya was ready to go out.

As a result, he happened to bump into Reiko Qiu Ting who was also going out.

Different from the last time she was dressed in a sporty style, today Reiko Akiba looks more layered in a long skirt and a jacket on her upper body.

With her wavy hair hanging behind her back and a pair of red eyes, she looks very powerful when there is no smile on her face. Her long-term vocal practice gives Qiuting Reiko a special temperament.

These elements mixed together firmly caught Sotakuya's eyes.

After eating melon together, a shared secret greatly narrowed the distance between Zong Takuya and Qiuting Reiko.

After asking Akito Reiko what she had planned for her day off, Sotakuya invited her to have breakfast at the cafe and check on Sonoko's prospective boyfriend.

Although I had expected Sotakuya's invitation to a date with the straight man Akiba Reiko, I really didn't expect it to be so outrageous. He would actually invite a girl to help another girl's sister check her boyfriend...

Although it was slightly different from the date she had expected, it was not the worst development in Reiko Qiu Ting's mind, and it was not unacceptable.

What the steely straight man Sotakuya doesn't know at all is that for a girl to have a makeup as exquisite as Reiko's now, the preparation and makeup time will definitely not be done in ten or twenty minutes like when he takes a shower in the morning.

Qiu Tingrenzi said that going out for a casual walk would not make her wake up early on weekend mornings and spend so long on applying such exquisite makeup.

Although the way the date unfolded was somewhat unexpected, on the way Sotakuya recalled the scumbags Suzuki Sonoko had encountered since childhood, and the atmosphere between the two began to become harmonious and happy again.

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko, who was trying to dress herself up and choose an exquisite headband, sneezed hard.

Suzuki Sonoko: I don’t believe that my luck will always be so bad!

The two of them followed the address given by Suzuki Ayako and arrived at the coffee shop where Suzuki Sonoko and her prospective boyfriend were going to meet. After entering, Sotakuya instinctively looked around and took in the entire store environment.

Maybe they arrived too early and there were not many customers in the coffee shop yet, but they saw a well-dressed female high school student and an elementary school student who looked like his wife had run away.

The female high school student was talking to the elementary school student next to her in a somewhat flattering manner. On the contrary, the elementary school student had a nonchalant attitude and even arrogantly put his feet on the table in the cafe.

Isn't this female high school student and elementary school student the combination of Mao Lilan and Conan!

Sotakuya was stunned for a moment when he unexpectedly met Mao Lilan and Conan in the coffee shop. Then Sotakuya and Reiko Akitaka were also spotted by Mao Lilan and Conan who were sitting opposite the door.

Mao Lilan was a little happy to see Sotakuya, but Conan on the side was not so happy.

Conan, who was originally acting like a naughty child, saw Sotakuya's arrival and instinctively put away his feet on the table and sat upright.

This transformation of Conan puzzled Mao Lilan. Conan was obviously stubborn just now, but So Takuya turned into a good boy as soon as he walked in?

Isn’t this contrast a bit too great?

If Mao Lilan knew the word double standard, he would find that this word is really appropriate to use on Conan.

"Meet an acquaintance?" Akito Reiko's beautiful eyes flashed, and as soon as she entered the cafe, she saw a well-dressed female high school student saying hello to Somune Takuya.

So it seems that Sotakuya's love luck is a little too good?

If Zong Takuya knew what Qiuting Reiko was thinking, he would definitely complain immediately. Speaking of which, there are not many girls who have known Zong Takuya since childhood.

You can even count them on one hand. Even Mao Lilan, who was getting up to greet Sotakuya, only met him recently.

"She is Mr. Mouri's daughter that I told you, Kudo-san's childhood sweetheart - Mourilan." Sotakuya's soft lips moved slightly and his voice reached Reiko Akito's ears.

Reiko Akiba, who had just gone to Kudo's house to investigate with Sotakuya before, naturally knew about Mao Lilan's situation. She glanced at Conan, who had turned into a shameless child and lived in a girl's house, and then watched Mao Lilan run to Sotakuya's house. before.

After introducing Reiko Qiu Ting and Mao Lilan to each other, Mao Lilan expressed her request to Zong Takuya: "Officer Zong, can you help me take a look at Conan?"

"I actually made an appointment here today, but this kid followed me secretly. I wanted to go to the store opposite to buy a cake for this kid to take home, just because I was afraid that this kid would cause trouble here..."

Mao Lilan was very embarrassed to say it, and she felt like she was a naughty child who wanted to get rid of him. It's just that she doesn't understand why Conan, who never bothered her much, suddenly became naughty today?

"Of course it's no problem, just leave this child to us." The person who responded to Mao Lilan's request was not Zong Takuya, but Qiuting Reiko next to him.

Qiuting Reiko glanced in the direction of Conan and then said to Mao Lilan with a smile: "Don't worry, I believe Conan is a good boy and will wait for you to come back in his seat, Xiaolan."

Conan, who originally saw Sotakuya appearing in the cafe, immediately raised the level 1 alert, but he relaxed his vigilance when he saw Reiko Akitaka, the King of East Asia's Jealousy, coming in behind Sotakuya.

Then he quietly reached the corner and tried his best to prevent Zong Takuya from noticing him.

Although the crisis that Zong Takuya was Mao Lilan's date was resolved, Conan did not forget that Zong Takuya seemed to be aware of it and asked Xiaolan a lot of questions.

Because the transition from Kudo Shinichi to Conan was too hasty, he had many loose ends that he didn't clean up. In other words, the Conan of today is nothing like the Conan of later generations.

There are so many "substitutes" that can confuse Mao Lilan, and there is also no short-term antidote that can temporarily turn him back to Kudo Shinichi.

He couldn't bear the investigation at all. If Sotakuya really had doubts about the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and him, Conan wouldn't even be able to find a good way to deal with Sotakuya's cross-examination.

It's just that Sotakuya doesn't seem to be very interested in him now...

Before Conan could get lucky, Qiuting Reiko's sharp gaze instantly made Conan's whole body tremble. Conan always felt that he had experienced this kind of terrifying feeling when he was a child.

But who makes me feel that way...

After showing a sweet smile to Akito Reiko and Sotakuya, he immediately turned his head away from them. Conan was now extremely confused. You may want to escape from this place of right and wrong, but Xiaolan’s date candidates haven’t been fully investigated yet.

But if you don’t leave...

Conan always felt that his secret might be exposed at any time, especially the female companion brought by So Takuya. You said you two are dating, so why are you always watching what I do?

How honest I am now!

Sotakuya, who was sitting diagonally behind Conan, smiled and asked, "How's it going? It's amazing, isn't it? It looks no different from an elementary school student."

Akito Reiko nodded, agreeing with half of Sotakuya's statement, and then added: "Although he looks like a primary school student, I can feel that he is very uneasy now, especially when he looks at me."

"It's like a frightened rabbit. It always feels like he will jump up in the next second."
