Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Strange Thief Doesn't Go to Work Today

"It's been really not peaceful lately, Xiaolan." Sonoko Suzuki leaned half on the edge of Maoriran's table, fiddling with her friend's hair with her fingers, "It's another murder, it's a strange thief or something." It's unsettling. ”

"Recently, the number of jobs in the office has increased a lot, and my dad used to drink at home all day, and recently he has been running around outside because of his commission." When Xiaolan said this, Roushan's face was dyed with some sadness, "I don't know if this is good or bad." ”

"You don't have a fever, do you, Lan? Didn't you complain in my ear every day because you didn't have a job at the office? Why are you worried about a prosperous business now? ”

"Because it's really scary!" Xiaolan shrank her head, "The ones who have come to the door lately are all strange jobs. For example, last week's case was the murder case that happened in Red Ghost Village! ”

"The murder? I seem to have an impression...... "Sonoko scratched her scalp and rummaged through the remnants of her memories of the murders in Red Ghost Village in her often empty head.

"Ah, I remember! I think the killer used the detective to forge an alibi for himself...... Wait, the detective who was used in that murder case couldn't be Uncle Maori, right? ”

"Well, it's my dad." Xiaolan nodded helplessly, "Yuanzi, I'm really scared now, in case my father is implicated in such a dangerous homicide case again, and even regarded as a murderer......"

"There's no need to worry about that, Maori-san." Lai Qixiao, who had been listening, suddenly interjected, "I remember that your father used to be a criminal policeman, right?" I think he should be able to protect himself. ”

"Besides, isn't your boyfriend Shinichi Kudo also a detective who walks back and forth at various murder scenes? I thought you were used to it. ”

"Who would get used to murder!" Xiaolan's eyebrows were coldly raised, and her bright eyes were straight at Lai Qixiao, who was talking nonsense, "Also, Shinichi is not my boyfriend!" ”

"Yes, yes, you're just childhood sweethearts." Yuan Zi also said in a strange aura on the side, "It's just that the relationship is so good that it looks like a couple...... No, just like a couple. ”

"Garden!"

"But speaking of which, that guy is really excessive! actually left the precious childhood sweetheart behind.,Evaporated in the world without authorization.。 Yuan Zi sat down on the table with a big grin, his dangling feet kicking the table restlessly, "Xiaolan, I think you just dumped him directly!" ”

"It's all said we're not a couple!" Xiaolan said angrily, and her cheeks were red with shame from the teasing of the garden.

"Moreover, Shinichi has already called me recently, saying that he is busy with another big case, so he will take a temporary break from school."

"It's not convincing, and it's over the phone." Lai Qixiao began to say something inappropriate again, pouring a basin of cold water on Xiaolan's head, "Kudo Shinichi's mind is so smart, what case can hold him for so long?" And there hasn't been anything like that in the newspapers recently! ”

“…… Perhaps, Shinichi is following the police to conduct a secret search? ”

"There is also this possibility. Of course, there is another possibility. Speaking of this, Lai Qixiao suddenly showed a wicked smile, "Maybe that detective is lying to you!" ”

"How could it be, why did Shinichi lie to me when he was so good-looking......"

Just when Xiaolan fell into self-doubt, Lai Qixiao changed her words and gave her a little comfort:

"However, considering the deep affection between the two of you - don't stare at me, you know best whether you two have a deep relationship or not - maybe Kudo Shinichi can't tell you the truth for some unspeakable reason."

"If that were the case, he wouldn't be in a much better position right now. Either it's really some kind of extremely secret search operation, or it's ......"

"Alright, that's it!" Suzuki Sonoko interrupted Laiqixiao's speculation at the right time, so as not to worry Xiaolan about her next words.

"Let's stop talking about that man, let him live with Sherlock Holmes for the rest of his life! Xiaolan, there is no grass at the end of the world! I think you might as well follow me to find a good handsome guy! ”

"But Suzuki-san, if you want to act with Maori-san, most of the handsome guys will be attracted by Maori-san!"

"Shut your mouth! I don't want to hear the truth right now! After drinking the annoying Laiqixiao back, Suzuki Sonoko then patted Xiaolan on the shoulder and said:

"Xiaolan, let me tell you, this weekend is my sister's class reunion, and there will be a lot of high-quality handsome guys at that time! Otherwise, you'll join me and take part in a social ......."

"But Garden, I'll ......" Xiaolan stopped her unfinished words, hesitating whether to accept the invitation.

At this time, Laiqixiao, who had just been drunk back, made a comeback unwillingly and opened his hateful mouth:

"Maori-san, let me guess, you don't want to participate in this kind of networking event, but you don't worry about Suzuki-san, I'm afraid that she will fall for a man?"

"Hey! Am I such a gullible woman! Xiaolan, refute him quickly! ”

"That's right, that's what I thought! You're right! ”

"Xiaolan, it turns out that I am this kind of image in your eyes!"

Mao Lilan turned his head and glanced at the grief-stricken Suzuki Sonoko, for some reason, Sonoko always felt that there was a kind of compassion in the eyes of his friends......

The frustrated garden was facing the sky on its back, and the whole person slipped off the table as if it had no bones. And Xiaolan said sorry to her best friend, and then turned her burning gaze to Lai Qixiao.

"Laiqi-san, please teach me the best of both worlds!"

"Huh, the best of both worlds? It's so easy! Lai Qixiao pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mysterious smile, "Just find another person who is good at disrupting the situation to go with you." ”

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not the person you're looking for, and besides, I'm not good at disrupting situations! Maori, my advice to you is, why don't you just take that little ghost head who was eating at your house to join the fellowship? ”

"You mean Conan?" Xiaolan pinched her hair thoughtfully, "But Conan is just a child, isn't he?" ”

"It's convenient for children, and even if they are taken to a fellowship, they will not be considered male companions. When the time comes, you can just excuse yourself by saying that you want to take care of the children and avoid those annoying interactions! ”

"And, with Conan's kid's slippery head, I'm sure he'll soon be aware of your thoughts and be your shield!"

“…… If you think about it, it's a good idea to take Conan with you. Thank you, Laiqi! Xiaolan clapped her hands, and the face that had been hesitant just now began to smile again, and only Suzuki Sonoko, who had lost her soul on one side, knocked on the table weakly in protest.

However, Sonoko Suzuki's sister's class reunion...... It seems like someone is going to die too? Lai Qixiao thought to himself.
