"Then again, what about Mr. Wise? Why isn't he with you? ”

As he spoke, Shinichi couldn't help but look at Shiho curiously and asked.

In this regard, Zhibao sighed lightly, waved his hand and said:

"He's just like you. I'm sure I've already started an investigation at this hotel. ”

"That's right."

Shinichi couldn't help but nodded, and then said:

"In that case, it's time for me to investigate."

"However, the amount and effect of the white dried rice added to that cake are unknown, and I don't know when it will turn back to the appearance of a child."

Shiho reminded him indifferently with both hands.

"I know."

Shinichi waved his hand without any hesitation:

"No matter how dangerous it is, you can't ignore the events in front of you, that's the nature of detectives."

After Shinichi finished saying this, he turned his head to look at Zhibao, and added with a light smile:

"I think that's what Mr. Wise thinks, too...... Otherwise, it's rare for you to come back once, and he won't leave such a beautiful guy alone and go to investigate the case alone. ”

"Ah, are you complimenting me? I'll reluctantly accept it. ”

Zhi Bao closed his eyes slightly and replied with a cold expression.

Then Shinichi didn't say anything more and walked in the direction of the elevator again.

"Hey! Are you going to use this makeup to investigate? ”

Finally, Shiho couldn't help but remind.

"I'll sneak into the venue in disguise and check to see if there's any suspicious person inside."

Shinichi said, putting on Conan's eyes and smiling at the two of them, and the elevator door began to slowly close.

"You have to be careful, Shinichi ......"

Dr. Asa shouted at the elevator door in worry.

"So, let's go."

Watching the floors displayed by the elevator begin to change, Dr. Asa said to Shiho beside him.

In this regard, Zhibao's hands were tightly hugged in front of him, and he couldn't help but look a little hesitant.

"Doctor, do we really want to ask Miss Hua Lian for the recipe for that cake?"

With some hesitation in his tone, Shiho asked.

"What?"

Dr. Asa asked back with some confusion:

"The recipe for that cake just now contains the secret that allows you and Shinichi to restore their original bodies! If you can get it, you might be able to research something! This is a rare opportunity for you and Shinichi! ”

"But, but ......"

Dr. Agasa's words caused Shiho to fold his arms and bow his head in thought.

"Xiao Ai, or do you have something unspeakable?"

Dr. Asa asked, a little curiously.

"En......"

Somewhat hesitant, Shiho hesitated for a moment, looked at the "women's locker room" behind him from time to time, and was a little worried about Gao Yuan hiding alone in the cabinet inside, and then made up his mind, and couldn't help but say:

"After asking about the formula, I have to leave immediately, if I stay too long, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

Hearing this, Dr. Asa nodded earnestly, then walked to the elevator and pressed the elevator up button.

Then, the door of the elevator next to Shinichi that Shinichi had just taken quickly opened......

……

At this time, Xiaolan, who was sitting in front of the dresser and looking in the mirror, looked a little stiff because of nervousness.

"What's wrong?"

Yuanzi, who was sitting next to Xiaolan and applying makeup, stopped what he was doing, turned his head and asked.

"You're scared to play!"

Shou Meimei smiled and walked behind Xiaolan and said.

"Miss Meimei......"

Xiaolan turned to look at her and said a little timidly.

"Is that so?"

Meimei said with a smile, as if she had seen through Xiaolan's heart.

"Well, it's the first time I've stepped on such a gorgeous stage......

Xiaolan lowered her head and muttered, her voice getting quieter and quieter.

"Really?"

Meimei tilted her head and couldn't help asking.

"Yes. However, Miss Hua Lian is really beautiful. ”

Xiaolan looked enviously at Hua Lian, who was already looking in the mirror after putting on makeup, in the next room, and couldn't help but say.

"Hua Lian always looks in the mirror like that, until her mother says it's perfect."

Meimei looked at Misuzu, who was encouraging Hua Lian, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, muttering:

"If Mom doesn't say that, she's actually a coward who doesn't even dare to stand on the stage."

"Huh?"

Xiaolan was surprised by this.

"I'm surprised."

Meimei smiled bitterly.

"Yes."

Xiaolan couldn't help but nodded.

"However, perhaps it is because she is more timid than anyone else that she will strictly abide by her mother's orders and work hard to train herself, so that she has come to this point."

Meimei looked at Shou Hualian in the next room and couldn't help but say indifferently.

"Yes. I think Miss Hua Lian will win. ”

Xiaolan couldn't help but say.

"Thank you. However, seeing you reminds me of the first time I participated in a small town beauty pageant......"

Meimei looked into the distance and said thoughtfully.

"Hey, Miss Meimei has also participated in beauty contests?"

Yuan Zi couldn't help but look up at Meimei and asked.

"Well, it was me who participated in various beauty pageants across the country with my mom. Ride, night train, traveled all over the country. I didn't get any good results, though......"

As she spoke, Meimei lowered her head sadly.

"Where, Miss Meimei is also beautiful!"

Xiaolan looked at Meimei's face and praised seriously.

"Hey...... I've been brushed off at most every time I reach the quasi-winning stage. ”

Meimei said, opened her makeup box in the corner of the room, selected one from dozens of lipsticks, and said to Xiaolan and Yuanzi:

"Let me help you with your makeup."

As she spoke, she expertly applied lip gloss to Xiaolan's lips.

"It is precisely because the people who come to participate in this competition are very persistent in beauty that they have the opportunity to stand on the stage today. In order to win the competition, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, no matter how painful or unfortunate it was.

"While the girls around them were eating delicious food, they had to chew on the leaves like rabbits and endure hellish weight loss in order to stay in shape......

"They're all like that."

As if she was sighing, Meimei said.

"It's amazing......"

After hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes. However, Hua Lian is different. She won the competition for the first time, and it took less than half a year to become the candidate with the highest demand for the championship of 'Miss Zephyr'. It's something I've spent eight years trying to do, but I haven't been able to do it......"

Mimi said this, as if she was strongly suppressing her emotions.

"Good, good!"

The garden blinked in surprise and let out such an exclamation.

"yes. Hua Lian is born with an attractive charm, which no matter how hard others try, it can't help. Even as an older sister, if I was watched by her big deep eyes, I would have been fascinated. ”

Meimei looked at Hua Lian in the next room and said enviously.

"I can understand that people like me don't ...... at all"

Hearing this, perhaps understanding what the other party meant when she said this to herself, Xiaolan lowered her head in some frustration and muttered.

"There is no such thing, when Hua Lian saw your face just now, she was so surprised, do you know why?"

Meimei looked at Xiaolan's face seriously and said seriously......
