Conan: After teaching the protagonist, they offered their loyalty.

Chapter 190 He's really a little genius

"Hmm." Fuheshen nodded... his gaze shifting to the seawater outside the glass.

His reassuring words put Xiaolan at ease, and she walked towards the washroom.

Snap... Snap...

Following the flow of the water, a fat man pressed himself against the glass, a nine of spades playing card on his impeccably tailored suit, staring intently at Fu Heishen.

The surrounding fish swam along each other's bodies, creating a scene reminiscent of a painting on the ocean.

Fuheishen remained calm, his eyes showing no sign of panic at the sight of a dead body.

However... it's hard to say about Lan.

After staring at each other for a while, they discovered that the man was stuck in the glass, staring motionless into the glass.

Fuheishen stepped forward and gently tapped on the glass.

Originally, he wanted Xiaolan to become stronger... and the process of becoming stronger was to confront her fears.

But...the other person just mentioned that she's afraid of ghosts and monsters, which most likely refers to terrifying images or something similar...

Ha, let's just let it go this time.

He decided not to let Xiaolan see this scene... as a way of repaying her for treating him to green tea.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he had a new idea...

Delaying Xiaolan's emergence allows the body to drift away with the current...

This idea... hey, he really is a genius.

Ignoring the women's-only sign next to the restroom, he walked straight into the toilet, reached out, and grasped the doorknob.

"Lan, I'm going in." After saying this, Fuheishen didn't wait for a reply and turned the doorknob...

However, it couldn't be opened; the door was locked.

"Brother Shen'er...do you need to use it too...?" Hearing Fu Hei Shen'er's calm tone and absolute trust, Xiao Lan didn't realize that this was the women's restroom and asked.

After she finished speaking... with the sounds of clothes rubbing and water being flushed, Xiaolan turned the door lock... her cheeks were a little red.

"No need..." Fu Heishen slammed the door shut and pushed Xiao Lan's shoulder with his right hand, pressing her back onto the toilet.

"Wait... Brother Shen, this, this won't do..." Xiao Lan's cheeks turned even redder, and she looked rather timid, even the single horn on her head stood up.

"No?" Fuheishen tilted his head in confusion.

He hadn't even explained what he was going to do, so why did Xiaolan refuse him outright?

"Um...no, that won't work." Xiaolan's voice grew softer and softer.

Fuheshen reached out and stroked the other's single horn, a grin spreading across his face. "You seem to be overthinking it... I just feel sorry for your throat."

"My...my throat?" Xiaolan was puzzled at first, then...she seemed to realize something, and her expression turned a little strange.

But her intuition told her that Shen'erge... couldn't possibly be that kind of person.

One second...

One minute..

Two minutes...

The expected thing did not happen...

In this somewhat cramped space, Xiaolan's heart pounded faster and faster... Finally, she couldn't help but push Shen'er and weakly asked, "Brother Shen'er, can you tell me why you did this?"

“There are corpses outside, I’m afraid you’ll be frightened,” Fuheshen said.

"Eh...is that so?" Little Lan asked, her eyes wide.

I... I'm overthinking things. How could Brother Shen be that kind of person?

He probably saw the corpse and was afraid of scaring himself, so he blocked himself in the toilet, right?

Rather than calling it strange behavior, is it more like special care...?

Thinking of this, Xiaolan felt a warmth in her heart.

Fushiguro's lips twitched... Upon hearing about the corpse, shouldn't Ran first be terrified... and then say worriedly, "Let's go find Dad... Inspector Megure," or something like that?

Could it be... that spending too much time with him has turned her into a fallen angel?

"I'm not afraid..." Xiaolan took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Brother Shen'er, don't treat me like a child anymore. I've grown up a lot, and..."

"And what else?" Fuheshel listened with great interest...

Xiao Lan pointed a finger at Fu Heishen... then pursed her lips, "Looks like Brother Shen'er's memory isn't very good..."

Fuhesh'er's expression stiffened for a moment...

He almost forgot what he had told Xiaolan.

"Hmph..." Fu Heishen snorted coldly. Since he was no longer afraid, there was no need for him to stay here.

He walked towards the outside of the toilet... and saw that Asahi Katsuyoshi's body was still hanging in the window.

He reached out and patted his head... took out his phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to Gin.

Xiao Lan followed behind Shen Er with her head down... Upon seeing the corpse, her pupils contracted slightly, and her body unconsciously leaned towards Fu Hei Shen Er's side, grabbing his arm and suppressing the urge to scream.

“If you’re scared… you can scream.” Fuheshen’er frowned slightly.

"How did you know?" Xiaolan asked, somewhat surprised.

Could Shen'erge have mind-reading abilities? She was indeed a little scared... but she held it in.

Because his arm hurt so much from being pinched...

However, due to the immense physical strength of the Tyrant, Fuheishen's expression showed no discomfort.

.........

Meanwhile, after Conan finished the 'Question and Answer' segment, he jumped off the table...

After thinking for a while... I couldn't get any clues.

Because he couldn't think of any reason why anyone present, apart from Murakami Jo, would attack Inspector Megure, Professor Agasa, and Eri Kisaki.

What exactly was the motive for the murder...?

Conan looked up and scanned his surroundings.

'Hey, where are Lanne-chan and Shengege?'

After Conan realized the two were missing, his pupils suddenly contracted...

Could it be that Shen Er is using the mission as a pretext, and his real purpose is to get rid of Xiao Lan?

No...not really.

It's also possible that Xiaolan simply wanted to see the scenery and asked Shen'er Gege to accompany her.

Conan pondered as he explored his surroundings.

'You can call it...'

"....Know..."

Some familiar and intermittent voices came through, and Conan's wide eyes were filled with question marks.

He ran towards the source of the sound like a mad dog... When he saw the two of them embracing, Conan stood there dumbfounded.

From Conan's perspective: Ran is holding Shinobu Fushiguro's hand, looking up at him, and it looks like she's asking for a kiss.

And Fuheshchen was also preparing to respond...

"You...you guys, what are you doing?!" Conan's lips trembled, his hands shook uncontrollably, as he pointed at the two of them.

What?

Fukuro glanced at Conan. Couldn't the other person see him?

Of course, it was after seeing the corpse that Xiaolan fearfully clung to him.

“It’s none of your business…” Fuhe Shen’er said coldly.

"..." Xiaolan seemed to have anticipated Shen'erge's response, so she released her grip and explained what had just happened.

"What?" Conan's expression changed slightly. He didn't care about the other details about Ran and Shen, and turned to look out the window... He made eye contact with Asahi Katsuyoshi, and his pupils contracted.

"Let's not talk here... let's go back to the hall." Fuheshen turned and walked towards the hall.
