Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

Chapter 24 23. The Suffering Conan

Time for the weekend.

Although Zong Takuya usually likes to sleep in on weekend mornings, but because he accepted Suzuki Ayako's request, Zong Takuya can only barely get up when going out.

After taking a quick shower, Zong Takuya was ready to go out.

As a result, he happened to run into Qiu Ting Lianzi who was also going out.

Unlike the last time when she was dressed in a sporty style, today's Qiuting Lianzi looks more layered in a long skirt and a coat on the upper body.

With wavy hair draped behind her, a pair of red pupils looked very imposing when she didn't have a smile on her face. The long-term vocal practice gave Qiu Ting Lianzi a special temperament.

These elements mixed together firmly caught Zong Takuya's gaze.

Once eating melons together, a common secret greatly narrowed the distance between Zong Tuozai and Qiu Ting Lianzi.

After asking Qiuting Lianzi if she had any plans for her rest day, Zong Tuozai invited her to go to the coffee shop to have breakfast together and check on Yuanzi's prospective boyfriend.

Although Zong Takuya's straight steel man's date invitation to Akiba Reiko has been expected, but he really didn't expect it to be so outrageous. He actually invited a girl to help another girl's sister to check her boyfriend
Although it is slightly different from the date I expected, it is not unacceptable if it is not the worst development in Qiuting Lianzi's heart.

What Takuya Zong, a straight man of steel, is completely unaware of is that the preparatory work and makeup time for a girl who wants to draw such an exquisite makeup look like Akiba Reiko will definitely not be finished in ten or twenty minutes like he himself takes a bath in the morning.

What Qiuting Lianzi said about going out for a casual stroll would not make her wake up early on weekend mornings and spend so long painting such delicate makeup.

Although the development of this dating method was somewhat unexpected, Zong Takuya on the road recalled the scumbag Suzuki Sonoko met since he was a child, and the atmosphere between the two began to become harmonious and happy again.

At this time, the Suzuki family was trying to dress themselves up and picked out an exquisite headband, and Sonoko Suzuki sneezed hard.

Suzuki Sonoko: I don't believe my luck will always be so bad!
According to the address given by Suzuki Ayako, the two came to the coffee shop where Suzuki Sonoko and his prospective boyfriend were going to meet. After entering the door, Zong Takuya instinctively looked around to take a panoramic view of the entire store environment.

Maybe they came too early, there were not many customers in the coffee shop, but I saw a well-dressed female high school student and an elementary school student who looked like he had run away from his wife.

The female high school student was talking flatteringly to the primary school student beside her, but the primary school student showed an attitude of indifference, and even arrogantly put her feet on the dining table in the coffee shop.

Isn't this female high school student and elementary school student the combination of Mao Lilan and Conan!
Zong Tuozai, who accidentally met Mao Lilan and Conan in the coffee shop, was stunned for a moment, and then Zong Tuozai and Qiuting Lianzi were also discovered by Mao Lilan and Conan who were sitting opposite the gate.

Mao Lilan was a little happy to see Zong Takuya, but Conan was not so happy.

Seeing Zong Takuya's arrival, Conan, who had the appearance of a child rolling around, instinctively put away his feet on the table and sat upright.

Conan's transformation made Mao Lilan puzzled. It was obvious that Conan was still stubborn just now, but Zong Takuya became a good baby as soon as he entered the door?
Is the contrast a little too big?
If Mao Lilan knew the word double standard, he would find that this word was really appropriate for Conan.

"Meet an acquaintance?" Qiuting Lianzi's beautiful eyes flashed, and as soon as she entered the coffee shop, she saw a well-dressed female high school student saying hello to Chao Zong Takuya.

So it seems that Zong Takuzai's love luck is a bit too good?
If Zong Takuya knew what Qiuting Lianzi was thinking, he would definitely be wronged immediately. Speaking of which, there are not many girls who have known Zong Takuza since childhood.

You can even count them with one hand, and even Mao Lilan, who is getting up to say hello to Zong Takuya, just met recently.

"She is Mr. Mori's daughter I told you about, and Kudo-san's childhood sweetheart -- Mao Lilan." Zong Takuzai's lips slightly moved and his voice reached Akiba Reiko's ear.

Akiba Reiko, who had just been to Kudo House with Zong Takuya to investigate before, naturally knew about Mao Lilan's situation. She looked at Conan, who was shameless and turned into a child and lived in a girl's house, and watched Mao Lilan run to Zong Takuya's house. before.

After introducing Qiuting Lianzi and Mao Lilan to each other, Mao Lilan expressed his request to Zong Tuozai: "That Zong police officer, can you please help me take a look at Conan?"

"I actually made an appointment here today, but this kid followed up secretly. I want to go to the store opposite and buy a cake for this kid to take back, just because I'm afraid that this kid will make trouble here."

What Mao Lilan said was very embarrassing, both inside and outside the words were a feeling that his own brat wanted to dump his bag.It's just that she didn't understand why Conan, who never worried about her, suddenly became naughty today?
"Of course it's okay, leave this child to us." It was not Zong Tuozai who answered Mao Lilan's request, but Qiu Ting Lianzi who was next to him.

Qiuting Lianzi glanced in Conan's direction and said to Mao Lilan with a smile: "Don't worry, I believe that Conan is a good boy, and will obediently wait for you to come back in his seat, Xiaolan."

Originally seeing Zong Takuya appearing in the coffee shop, Conan immediately sounded the first-level alert, but he relaxed his vigilance when he saw Qiu Takuya who came in behind Zong Takuya.

Then quietly, Mimi went to the corner and tried hard so that Zong Takuya could not notice him.

Although the crisis of Zong Takuya being Mao Lilan's dating partner was resolved, Conan did not forget that Zong Takuya seemed to be aware of it and asked Xiaolan a lot of questions.

Because the transition from Kudo Shinichi to Conan was too hasty, he didn't clean up a lot of hands.In other words, the current Conan is not like the later Conan at all.

There are so many "substitutes" that can confuse Mao Lilan, and there is also no short-term antidote that can temporarily transform him back to Kudo Shinichi.

He couldn't stand the investigation at all. If Zong Takuya really had doubts about the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and him, Conan couldn't even find a good way to deal with Zong Takuya's cross-examination.

It's just that Zong Takuya doesn't seem to be very interested in himself now.
Before Conan could get away with it, Qiuting Lianzi's sharp gaze made Conan's whole body tremble instantly. Conan always felt that he had experienced this horrible feeling when he was a child.

But what kind of person brings me the feeling?
After showing a sweet smile to Akiba Reiko and Zong Takuya, he immediately turned his head away from them, Conan is now extremely entangled.I really want to escape from this place of right and wrong, but Xiaolan's dating candidates haven't been investigated clearly yet.

but if you don't go
Conan always feels that he will reveal his secrets at any time, especially the female companion brought by Zong Takuya.If you say you two are dating, just date, you are fine, why do you keep watching me!

How honest I am now!
Zong Takuya, who was sitting obliquely behind Conan, asked with a smile, "How is it? It's amazing. It looks no different from a primary school student."

Qiuting Lianzi nodded and agreed half of Zong Takuya's statement, and then added: "Although he looks like a primary school student, I can feel that he is very disturbed now, especially when he is looking at me."

"It's like a frightened rabbit, always feeling that he will jump up in the next second."
