At seven o'clock in the afternoon, outside the Rice Flower Hotel.

As night fell, the street lamps on the streets and the neon lights on the side of the road were lit up, but the snowflakes in the sky were getting bigger and bigger, drifting more and more, falling on the ground and spreading a thick layer.

Conan, Xiaolan, and Kuaito 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, why don't we walk back together?"

"Uh...... Well...... this."

Why do you want to go back together?We still want to get away as soon as possible!~

Black Feather Kuaidou scratched his head with a dry smile, muttering in his heart, and at this time, he only heard Uncle Maori standing on the side of the road cough heavily twice, and then said with a black face: "...... It's so cold, what should I do if I get cold when I walk back? Let's take a taxi back! Also, why did this little ghost come out with him?"

Uncle Maori said in the end, and stretched out his hand to point at Black Feather Kuaidou with a look of disgust, while Xiaolan pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Dad! What are you talking about? Shinichi hasn't come back for a long time, I invite him home for a meal, is there a problem?"

Is there a problem? This is a big problem?

This pig of the excellent writer, you arch my tender and tender little cabbage, even if you want to go to my house......

Do you believe that I fried you?

Uncle Maori turned his head and glared at Kuroba Kuaito, then forcibly put away the dissatisfaction in his heart, and tried to maintain his adult demeanor and said, "Hmm...... In that case, Xiaolan, you should go buy more ingredients...... Well, isn't there a supermarket over there? Let's just buy it here and save ourselves time to get home and buy it again - 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, and Kuaito was stared at by Uncle Maori's eyes, and he hesitated and was about to agree, only to see Uncle Maori reach out and press Kuaito's shoulder and say, "...... Xiaolan, this little ghost is a guest, where is the reason to let the guest help? You and Conan can just go!"

"Oh, really, Dad...... Shinichi, he's not an outsider!"

Xiaolan rolled her eyes, Uncle Maori was stunned for a moment, and then the word "well" collapsed in his head-

What do you mean by not being an outsider? Could it be that Kudo's pigs have ......

Uncle Maori turned his head and glared at Kaito in warning, and Kaito couldn't help but shudder for a moment, and then weakly followed Uncle Maori's words and said, "...... So what...... Xiaolan, I'm still not going, you can go with Conan......"

"This ...... Okay then, then you and my dad are here and wait for us to come back!" Xiaolan thought for a moment and agreed, and then crossed her waist and said, "...... Also, I warn you, if you dare to sneak away again, watch out for my fists!"

Xiaolan waved his little fist threateningly, Kuaito nodded again and again, and after watching Conan and Xiaolan walk away, Kuaito turned his head to look at Uncle Maori again, only to see Uncle Maori glaring at him with a fierce expression.

Looking at Uncle Maori's eyes, Kaidou let out a "uh", and then greeted weakly: "Hello Uncle Maori!"

"Hmm!" Uncle Maori replied heavily, then took a pack of cigarettes out of his coat pocket, took one in his mouth, and lit it.

In the face of Uncle Maori's attitude, Kaito felt that he couldn't be restrained, and he was worried about going to Gunma Prefecture to find the blue sea gem, so he raised his hand and looked at his watch after a "hmm...... Uncle Maori, it occurred to me that I had one more case to investigate, so I had to leave immediately......"

“...... So, Xiaolan, please help me explain!"

As he spoke, Uncle Maori was stunned for a few seconds before complaining resentfully, "...... How can this rude little imp be busier than me? Damn it, I'd better not make my daughter sad, or ......."

Uncle Maori swept his eyes and happened to see an advertisement for a microwave oven playing on the advertising screen of the building next to him, grinding his teeth:

“...... I'm going to microwave you!!"

......

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, the supermarket near the rice flower restaurant.

In the voice of the staff's "welcome", Conan and Xiaolan walked into the store together, and then Xiaolan asked, "Hello, we want to buy some ingredients......"

"Ingredients, huh?" the staff smiled slightly, then gestured to a location, "...... Miss, our fresh food section is over there......"

"I see, thank you!" Xiaolan thanked him, then reached out and pulled Conan, and said with a grin, "...... Conan, let's go shopping together! By the way, how about we eat xiao long bao? But making xiao long bao seems a bit time-consuming...... Well, why don't you switch to mushroom soup? But Dad wants to drink beef soup......"

Xiao Lan babbled, Conan listened to Xiao Lan's words, and pouted speechlessly-

In other words, xiao long bao, mushroom soup or something, aren't these all his favorite dishes?

It's just that Xiaolan is working hard to prepare these now, and it is actually to call the impostor of the monster thief Kidd...... It's so unpleasant to think about it now!

Conan muttered in his heart, and suddenly only heard Xiaolan's "ahhhh

Conan was slightly stunned, and he stopped, and then followed Xiaolan's gaze, only to see a man in a beanie standing in front of him, holding a can of coffee in one hand, and staring at Xiaolan.

Seeing the appearance of the man in front of him, Conan's pupils shrank, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was solemn-

This man is ...... Shuichi Akai?!How did he end up here?

Wait! Takura Itakura, a person related to the Black Organization, has been living in the Rice Flower Hotel all this time, can it be ...... Is Shuichi Akai stalking him?

But...... That's not right!

If this FBI person had been keeping an eye on Taku Itakura, Taku Itakura hadn't been out for several days, they should have noticed it a long time ago......

Conan frowned, and Shuichi Akai was silent for a few seconds before he suddenly spoke, "Hmm...... It's you, we're meeting again......"

"Hmm, hello. ”

Xiaolan nodded, then staggered her body slightly, allowing Shuichi Akai to walk past her.

After watching Shuichi Akai check out at the front desk and leave, Xiaolan blinked, and then suddenly smiled and whispered:

"Conan, guess who that person is?"
