31 In the courtyard of the villa
"What are you doing, Sister Lan?"
Upstairs in the Maori Detective Agency, Conan saw that Maoriran was in the kitchen, holding a cookbook in one hand and a snow pan in the other, as if he was doing something, and then thought of the conversation he heard between Maoriran and Suzuki Sonoko today, so he couldn't help but ask.
"This scent is chocolate!"
Smelling the smell coming out of the pot, Conan said.
"Because, tomorrow is the annual Valentine's Day."
Mao Lilan replied softly.
"Huh? Sister Xiaolan, do you have someone you can give chocolates? β
Pretending to be curious, Conan couldn't help but ask.
"You're rude."
Facing Conan's words, Mao Lilan couldn't help but say lightly, "If there is no object, how can you make chocolate with your own hands?"
"Huh? Really? β
Hearing such an answer, Conan was still a little unwilling, and said a conjecture that he didn't even believe in:
"If I'm not mistaken, it shouldn't be that the new brother is coming back."
"Shinichi?"
For this name, Mao Lilan couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic and a little depressed - he disappeared without saying a word for so long, what the hell is that guy doing.
But he didn't admit defeat and said:
"When you said that, I thought there was that guy."
In this regard, although Conan was prepared, he was still very uncomfortable to hear Mao Lilan say this.
So, the next morning, when the burly man came to the Maori detective agency to pick up Maorilan to go to the Valentine's Day party, Conan quietly slipped up the car driven by the man-
"Now, I must find out where that box of chocolates went!"
With that in mind, Conan ducks into the trunk of his car and follows him to the Valentine's Day party they are going to attend.
At the same time, in the Wise Mansion, Gao Yuan, who had just gotten up, was about to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, but as soon as he came to the living room, he saw Gray Yuan Wai, who had just finished eating breakfast on the table, which should have been made by herself.
At the same time, in front of the high seat, there is already a prepared Western-style breakfast.
In this regard, Gao Yuan is not too surprised, after all, these days, he and Gray Yuan mourn, no matter who gets up early to make breakfast, they will make breakfast for themselves at the same time, but also make a copy for each other, although there is no agreement, but it can be regarded as a tacit understanding these days.
So, without thinking too much, Gao Yuan sat down and ate breakfast, while Gray Yuan Ai put the finished dinner plate back in the kitchen and was about to go back to the room-
"By the way, Gray Plains, I'll go out and deal with a commission later, you can solve it yourself for lunch."
Thinking of the matter that he promised the client Miss Watanabe yesterday, Gao Yuan couldn't help but explain it to Gray Hara.
"Okay. I know. β
With a faint tone, Gray Yuan Wai walked up the stairs.
Gao Yuan glanced at the current time, habitually picked up the mug, and took a sip, but as soon as the hot drink in the cup entered his throat, a strong bitter taste filled his throat.
Fortunately, this is a taste similar to black coffee, Gao Yuan usually drinks unsweetened iced American, this taste is naturally acceptable, and after getting used to it a little, he drank all the hot drinks in the cup-
Chocolate milk? Or unsweetened dark chocolate milk? New products?
Although he was a little curious, after thinking about it, Gao Yuan still felt that he would not take the initiative to buy this drink, after all, it was not delicious, and it was different from Ice American.
After eating the rest of the things, taking the plates and others to the kitchen to wash and put them away, Gao Yuan looked at the time, and hurried to the door, but because the destination was not too far, Gao Yuan did not choose to drive.
On the stairs, Gray Yuan Wai stood in front of the railing on the second floor, watching Gao Yuan finish the hot drink in the cup, and then a little blush appeared on his slightly cold face, and then walked back to his room......

"Cheers!"
In a villa in 4-chome Rice Flower Town, Moriran and Suzuki Sonoko are brought here by men, and in the living room of the villa, they meet people who have come to a Valentine's Day party.
In addition to the burly boy in the red vest who brought them over, there were four other people.
A young handsome, slender boy in a brown suit.
A young and beautiful girl with short black fluffy hair and a very elegant look.
A somewhat handsome girl with short brown hair and a somewhat neutral dress.
Grain
The other is a slightly chubby boy with glasses.
They were both medical students at Rice Flower University and members of the tennis club, and when they saw that the burly man could invite the two young high school girls, Moriran and Suzuki Sonoko, to the party, they were very welcome to attend, so everyone poured drinks and toasted together, which seemed very lively.
"So, Miss Moriran and Sonoko Suzuki, first of all, let's introduce ourselves to the members of the Faculty of Medicine at Rice Flower University and the tennis club...... Minagawa will start with your introduction! β
After the burly man finished his drink, he first began to chat enthusiastically.
"Okay, I'm the president, my name is Katsuhiko Minagawa, and it's nice to get to know you."
Hearing the words of the burly boy, the handsome boy named Katsuhiko Minagawa naturally introduced himself, and Suzuki Sonoko on the side interjected slightly nymphomaniac after the other party finished speaking:
"It's true! I'm so happy too! β
As he spoke, he took the initiative to hug Katsuhiko Mikawa's arm.
"That's it! Be modest, be modest! β
In this regard, the burly boy couldn't help but say.
"Everyone, my name is Guan Guxiang, Miss Yuanzi, although you are still young, don't be too noisy!"
Guan Guxiang, a girl dressed in a neutral style, also took advantage of this to interject.
"She's prejudiced against me!"
Hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but let go of his hand in disappointment, and muttered to Mao Lilan on the side, "It's just that she looks prettier than me, but she's full of jealousy of the same sex." β
Hearing this, Mao Lilan couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
"Hey! Straight, it's your turn next. β
The burly boy said to the bespectacled boy who was still drinking with his head covered, but the boy named Straight did not respond.
In this regard, the burly boy couldn't help but feel a little helpless-
"Really, you're always so gloomy."
"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Watanabe Yoshimi, please advise."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little silent for a while, the girl sitting next to Katsuhiko Minagawa introduced herself to Watanabe Yoshimi.
"Good! Then finally it's my turn! β
Seeing that everyone had finished introducing him, the burly boy stood up and began to introduce himself:
"I'm gentle and strong, and I'm also an amorous seed who loves to shed tears - Wakamatsu Toshihide is down to me!"
Listening to Wakamatsu Toshihide's speech, the atmosphere of the party was also hot, and everyone chatted happily, while Watanabe Yoshimi received a text message in the middle, and then interrupted everyone embarrassedly, got up and said:
"I'm sorry, but there's still a guest coming, I'll pick him up."
"It's so beautiful, didn't you hear you were going to bring your friends over?"
Hearing this, Katsuhiko Minagawa said with some displeasure.
"I'm so sorry I forgot to tell you what I decided yesterday."
Slightly sorry, Watanabe said Yoshimi, and then walked out of the villa, came to a nearby intersection, and greeted Takato, who had just come here-
"Here you are, Mr. Wise."
Seeing Takato's figure, Watanabe Yoshimi stepped forward to greet her.
"I'm sorry, Miss Watanabe, I'm not familiar with this side of the road, so I'm sorry for you to pick me up."
Gao Yuan couldn't help but apologize.
So, under the guidance of Watanabe Yoshimi, Takato came to the place where the party was held, which was also in front of the villa of Katsuhiko Minagawa's family.
However, as soon as he walked into the open courtyard of the villa, Gao Yuan looked surprised to see a small figure hiding behind a small tree in the courtyard - Conan!
"What! Xiaolan, this guy, still looks very happy! β
Conan, who sneaked over, hid in the courtyard of the villa after getting out of the trunk, from the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows facing the courtyard from the living room, paying attention to the situation in the living room from time to time, and couldn't help muttering a little depressedly.
And at this moment, two shadows suddenly appeared in front of Conan, and Conan couldn't help but startle him-
When I turned around, I saw a man and a woman, standing behind me, blocking the sunlight, and there was a shadow in front of meβ
"Conan? Why are you here? β
