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

Chapter 168 Playing with Xiao Lan

“Like this…” Fuhe Shen’er reached out and played with Xiao Lan’s head for a moment… then withdrew his hand after confirming.

Hmm... the feel is still about the same.

Just like the previous horns, they feel soft and tender...

However, the only illogical point is how such soft hair can stand up with its hair sticking up?

Xiaolan's cheeks were flushed... She felt a strange, indescribable feeling.

Although I know that Shen Ge did this purely out of curiosity... without any other intentions, it is really a bit strange with so many people watching.

"Hey, what are you doing, kid?" Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but clench his fist and complain.

Please... he's still here, and he's already touching his daughter's head?

He hadn't touched Xiaolan's head since she went to high school... no, since she graduated from elementary school.

Conan, who was squatting in place, also stiffened... no, not exactly stiff... if Conan looked down, he would have seen an even stiffer expression.

That's right, his fist hardened as well.

"None of your business..." Fushiguro Jinji glanced at Kogoro Mouri indifferently... but then realized that the other party was Ran's father.

And then there was the cold gaze of the girl with tea-colored hair standing nearby, who still managed to explain, "I was just checking to see if Xiaolan had been disguised."

Maori Kogoro:?

Isn't that reason a bit far-fetched?

Only a fool would believe that.

Having a deep understanding of her, Ai naturally knew Shen's habits and rolled her eyes.

"I see..." Conan, who had been stiff, slowly softened and finally chose to understand...

Perhaps it's just a work habit; caution is an essential skill.

After all, the enemies faced by detective organizations might include people like Kaito Kid who can disguise themselves.

Therefore, it makes sense to do this. After Xiaolan's horn disappeared, he felt a little uncomfortable at first glance.

However... Conan was still somewhat dissatisfied, giving Fushiguro Jinji a resentful look.

"Honestly, he's already this strong... and he's still being overly cautious," Conan said with a dissatisfaction.

Fushiguro coldly scared away the disgruntled Conan, then took the teacup from Ai Haibara, who was closest to him, and took a sip.

Ai: .......

She reached out and pinched Shen'er's arm. "That's my teacup..."

“Now it’s mine,” Fuheshen said calmly.

Conan, who witnessed this scene, immediately looked somewhat resentful...

"Shen Gege is really good to this child..." Conan said with a hint of jealousy, his eyes unconsciously glancing at Ai Haibara.

Fuheishen tilted his head in confusion.

Why is Conan acting like a jealous little girl?

Ai glanced at Conan coldly.

What, if you can't be good to her, how can you be good to Conan?

She and Shen Er were sworn brothers!

But then again... Shen'er has always been like this.

When I'm in a bad mood, I always try to distract myself in some inexplicable ways.

That time at the zoo... when I was getting the red panda, at my sister's house... on a date to see a movie... it always happens when things go wrong while I'm figuring things out.

Now Ai is starting to wonder if Shen Er really can read minds.

"It's my nature," Vladimir said of himself.

Oh....

Conan rolled his eyes.

Last time at the Full Paradise Games press conference, he kicked his own seven-year-old child flying.

Although it was supposed to be to save himself, didn't he even know how tough he was?

He was in pain for several days at the time.

"The scenery here is quite nice..." Ran walked over to Ai and looked at the leaves on the trees.

Ai Haibara glanced at Ran, who seemed hesitant, and said calmly, "Just tell me what you want to do."

"..." Ran's beady eyes widened, realizing that this tea-haired little girl had completely read her mind. "Um, Ai, shall we go to the hot springs later?"

Fuheishen glanced at the setting sun and said calmly, "Okay..."

Ai Haibara: ......

Upon hearing this, Conan nearly bumped into Shinji.

The question was about Haibara, not you. Don't you know there's a difference between men and women?

Upon hearing Shen'er's answer, Xiao Lan was momentarily speechless. "No, no, Brother Shen'er, men and women are different..."

"I'm just answering on behalf of Ai... What are you thinking?" Fukushige tilted his head in confusion.

Seeing Shen'er's appearance, Xiaolan suddenly felt like she had said something wrong...

In the end, Ai couldn't resist Ran's nagging and went to take a bath with her.

She originally wanted to spend some time cuddling with Shen'er in the room...

Kogoro Mouri, on the other hand, had no intention of going to the hot springs. He had come here at the invitation of his college classmates, so he planned to go straight to a dinner party later.

.........

"Shen'er Gege, now it's just the two of us..." Conan said with a grin, "Let's go soak in the hot springs later."

Actually, Conan was secretly delighted... It was summer, and the hot spring inn wasn't very crowded; it was in its quieter season.

Aside from him, Shinobu, Haibara, and the Mori family, there were only Mori Uncle's classmates; there were practically no others.

If it were just him and Shen'er... he could learn more about Shen'er's organization and investigate the winery.

Conan instinctively felt that, given the way that distillery operated, and even their detective organization, they definitely knew something...

Fukuro Shigeya glanced coldly at Conan, "Get lost..."

Conan curled his lip and made a disdainful "tsk" sound.

In his eyes, Shen Er is just like that... He pretends to be extremely annoying on the surface, but he is actually a kind-hearted person at heart.

His belief was not entirely unfounded.

Initially, on the Shinkansen train, after learning about the bomb... disregarding the danger to his own life, he resolutely boarded the train, allowing Ran to perfectly solve the case so as not to expose his identity.

During the Maya incident, when Uncle Mori and he were in mortal danger, he resolutely pushed the rock down.

And then there's the time he was kidnapped by his own mother... though there was no real danger.

But from Shen'er's perspective, the kidnappers had guns and were unaware of the enemy situation... yet they still came directly to rescue him...

After he was blown away, Angel and he took him to the hospital and reimbursed his medical expenses.

Therefore, when Hattori Heiji said that Shinji was a member of the brewery, his first reaction was not to think, but to refute.

At this moment, Shigemi Fushimi had no idea what Conan was thinking...

If they knew, they would probably say, "Imagination is truly terrifying."
