Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 262 Worry
As expected, after hearing Ishino's words of approval, Natsumi changed her tune and touched Xiao Ai's head and said coaxingly: "But Xiao Ai, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Conan. You are somewhat blaming him."

"After all, in the eyes of us outsiders, Xiaolan is indeed the kind of little girl who is kind-hearted and easy to empathize with. She is occasionally emotional and impulsive and lacks some defensiveness towards others. It is understandable that Conan does not dare to tell the other person his secret directly. .”

"Besides, Conan is just a rich boy who grew up in a wealthy family. It's normal for him to be a little careless when dealing with such a sudden change. What's more, he's one year younger than you."

"I think Xiao Ai, because you have been with Conan and Xiaolan for a long time, you have already assumed the role of sister. Seeing that these two have a good impression of each other but cannot find the position of each other in their hearts. Brothers and sisters, are you worried about them?"

Having said this, Xia Mei looked at the thoughtful Xiao Ai with her gentle eyes and slowly said, "Although it is a bit cruel to say this, Xiao Ai, you have already seen it, right? At present, between the two of them, The relationship between them is not equitable. If this continues, even if Conan finally recovers his body, it is unlikely that the two of them will get together."

"It's precisely because you saw this, Xiao Ai, that you forced Conan to recognize the current situation today. I hope that the two of them can take this incident as an opportunity to take the key step towards equality, right?" Natsumi hugged Xiao Ai. Ai rubbed the other person's little face and smiled proudly, "As expected of my daughter, she is really gentle and reliable!"

Seeing that her mother saw through her thoughts at a glance, Xiao Ai blushed and admitted with embarrassment: "That's it. Who made one of them self-righteous and the other blindly dependent? If this continues, the situation will only get worse. It’s getting worse, and I don’t know how many dangers I will encounter in the future because of this.”

"Don't look at them, one is 17 and the other is 16. To be honest, they are not as mature as our Naiya. It's really heartbreaking. Let's see if they can grow up after this test." Thinking of this , Xiao Ai shook her head helplessly and sighed.

Seeing Xiao Ai's melancholy expression, Xia Mei smiled and comforted: "Okay, okay, now that Conan has realized his mistake, Xiao Ai, you might as well take more care of them, let us help Conan and Xiaolan, please grow up quickly, after all, it’s a good thing for our family that the two of them are safe, right?”

"Yes, I think both Conan and Xiaolan are good children with good qualities. It's just that they lack the guidance of their elders, which makes them a little immature. While helping them get through this difficult time, we might as well think of ways from their parents. "Xiaosaki on the side heard this and also participated in the discussion.

Natsumi, who was previously a parent who was not very good at judging other parents, could not help but nod in agreement after hearing what Xiaosaki said. Xiao Ai also felt that her sister's words were quite reasonable, thinking that these two families obviously had both parents, but they had two children. One of the children lives like an orphan, and the other has to take care of the single parent. It's really not as good as the two sisters who have been relying on each other for all these years.

Seeing the mother and daughter talking to each other, Ishino basically analyzed everything in his mind. Ishino decisively started another topic to refresh his sense of existence as the head of the family: "What about Xiaolan?" In the end, Conan has to resolve the matter himself, but Xiao Ai, who do you think might be spying on Xiao Lan?"

Although after listening to Xiao Ai's story just now, Ishino guessed that the only one who could do such a thing was a certain undercover classmate who worked four jobs at the same time, he still pretended that he didn't know anything and asked the other person's opinion.When her father asked about the business, Xiao Ai retracted her divergent thoughts, rubbed her chin and thought carefully for a while, then shook her head slightly and said: "Based on the current clues, it is still not certain that people from the organization are targeting Xiaolan, and we cannot rule out that there is someone." Others want to use Xiaolan to investigate the whereabouts of Kudo Shinichi, who has been missing for a long time, just like the people like Moritani Teiji who had a grudge against him before."

"Even if it is really a bug planted by someone from the organization, the other party's target may not be Xiaolan, it may also be a Maori detective. After all, Xiaolan looks like a simple little girl. Just like Conan is doing now, it may not be She was told many secrets, but her father, a famous detective, is more likely to become the assistant of 'Kudo Shinichi'."

After Xiao Ai finished speaking his thoughts, Xiao Saki on the side added: "I think it might be a prank between classmates, or a boy who has a crush on Xiao Lan secretly placed a bug. After all, there are many students in Didan High School. My family background is not ordinary, so it may not be possible to get such high-end toys as Conan said."

"It's not difficult to verify this. Since the bug was broken by Conan yesterday, if it was a child at school, he would definitely be tempted to confirm the situation today. Xiaolan may not have such observation skills, but Yoko will definitely notice something, I just need to call and confirm now." After hearing Xiaosaki's guess, Natsumi smiled and took out her mobile phone and said, and then dialed Yoko's number.

"Hey, is it Yoko? I'm Natsumi, that's it..." Natsumi only said on the phone that she picked up a toy bug that seemed to have fallen off Xiaolan's schoolbag in the store yesterday, and she was worried that someone in the school was responsible for it. Xiaolan was playing a prank, so she called to see if anyone suspicious had approached Xiaolan's schoolbag today to confirm the situation.

"Oh, is that so? If not, of course it would be best. Then it is possible that the children who came to the store accidentally dropped the toys there... Thank you, Yangzi, nothing else, bye."

After Yangzi on the other end of the phone hung up, he thought that he had just lied to his granddaughter again, smiled, shook his head and put the phone back in his pocket.

Yesterday, when Amuro's undercover agent placed the bug, he thought that no one else saw it, but in fact, his every move could not escape Yangzi's observation. Even if he didn't even look at him during the whole process, Yangzi still only relied on his His little movements were discovered through the movements, breathing changes, and the slight changes in the front and back position of the doll pendant.

The reason why she didn't expose him on the spot was naturally because Yangzi knew that the policeman was not a bad person, and the manipulation on Xiaolan's schoolbag was probably to protect her from the bad people, but she also knew that the "bad person" the other party suspected was actually her daughter. That’s it.

Thinking of this, Yangzi couldn't help but have a playful smile on his face. He felt that it was quite interesting to watch these young people fighting around him without causing any danger. After all, they fought more and more on the stage. It's so intense that those guys lurking under the stage might not be able to help but come out...
