Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 297 Crisis Approaching
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the signboard of the Maori Detective Agency, the morning exercise team, including Conan, also started from the entrance of Poirot Cafe downstairs and jogged to Rice Flower Park.

Since Belmore sent a message saying that Grace was too tired to get up from playing yesterday, so she did not appear in the team today.

At the moment when the group of people arrived at the entrance of the park, Xiao Ai suddenly felt the long-lost feeling of heart palpitations. She quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the evil energy, with a solemn expression on her face.

"Hey, Haiyuan, what's wrong with you?" Conan, who was at the back of the team, saw the other party suddenly turning his head and showing an uneasy look. He also turned his head subconsciously, only to see a traditional Porsche 356A coming from behind him. Passing by on the road, whizzing away.

"What's wrong with that classic car? Why is it making you so nervous?" Conan turned around and asked with some confusion.

Seeing the confused look on the other party's face, Xiao Laihe sighed and returned to his usual expression and said: "It's nothing, it's just that Gin's car just passed behind you. Since the other party didn't stop or slow down to observe, There’s really no need to be nervous.”

"Gin, Gin?!" This time it was Conan's turn to be frightened. His little heart suddenly started beating violently. With a frightened expression, he leaned into the other person's ear and anxiously confirmed, "Could it be that he was the one who poured me the medicine?" A tall, silver-haired man?!”

"Yes, it's him, but I'm not sure if it's him in the car." Xiao Ai nodded, and then said with some uncertainty, "It stands to reason that the evil spirit on that man should be much stronger than what I felt. , so it is also possible that his attendant Vodka or someone else was driving and he was not in the car."

"Of course, it doesn't rule out that my senses have become dull as a result of living too comfortably recently." At this point, Xiao Ai couldn't help but smile, turned to follow the team and urged Conan behind him, "Follow me quickly, Edogawa, I know what you are worried about, but just take it as it comes and don’t be impulsive, do you understand?”

Seeing this, Conan gritted his teeth and chased after him. He came to the position side by side with Xiao Ai and said helplessly: "Haiyuan, although what you said makes sense, how can I really not worry? Even if there is only a slight chance, , if that terrifying man appears nearby because he is targeting Xiaolan, I really can’t imagine what terrible things will happen..."

"So what can you do now? Chase him and kill him, and then let the people around him be buried with you?" Looking at the famous detective who was a little confused, Xiao Ai rolled his eyes at him angrily and said, "Although I understand you very well I really want to quickly eliminate the organization and find the idea of ​​​​turning back into a high school student, but you should know that it is impossible to achieve this goal immediately under the current situation, so don't let this small chance encounter disrupt your pace."

After listening to Xiao Ai's advice, Conan calmed down a little. After pondering for a moment, he reflected: "Thank you Huiyuan, I was really a little panicked just now. Thanks to your reminder, I didn't misjudge the situation."

"If I want to fight against the black organization, I must use greater power and find more helpers." At this point, Conan rolled his eyes and looked at the other party with a guilty conscience, "Haiyuan, since you are now As the second young lady of the Kasaka family, can I use the information network of the Kasaka Foundation..."

"Go away! Don't even think about it!" Before Conan could finish speaking, Xiao Ai blocked his next words with a fierce look, "Edogawa, I advise you to put away such thoughts, if Let me know that you still have the idea of ​​dragging the Kasaka family into trouble. Before the organization takes action, I will directly kill you, the source of disaster, in the cradle!" "Haha, just kidding, just kidding..." Seeing the other party, he looked so nervous. Really angry, Conan immediately showed an awkward yet polite smile and changed the subject, "But I didn't expect you to care so much about the Kasaka family. It seems that after getting along with you for a period of time, you have found a real place to stay. It's gratifying. Congratulations."

"Thank you for your kind words. I am indeed very satisfied with my current life, so anyone who wants to destroy this beauty is my enemy. Do you understand?" Faced with Conan's teasing, Xiao Ai responded calmly, and immediately He raised a playful smile and said, "On your side, since you are so worried about the reason for Gin's appearance nearby, you should confess the situation to Xiaolan earlier, and don't let her cause more suspicion in the organization because she is worried about you."

"Well, I haven't found a suitable opportunity to explain to her yet." Conan didn't expect that the other party would suddenly mention this matter, so he could only vaguely say, "But what you said does make sense. If the organization has really distanced itself, We are getting closer and closer, so it is indeed very dangerous to hide Xiaolan's secrets, I will seize the time to solve it."

"Okay, you can figure it out yourself." After hearing Conan's explanation, Xiao Ai knew that it was not something that could be accomplished overnight for him to make up his mind to explain everything to Xiao Lan, so he did not continue. Everything can only be decided by himself. Awakened.

At the same time, Ishino, who had noticed Gin driving by from the beginning, even though he was running in front of the family, still clearly heard the conversation of the two children at the back, and found it very interesting.

He vaguely remembered that in the original world line, Conan once had the idea of ​​​​unable to withstand the pressure and wanted to confess his identity to Xiao Lan, but under Xiao Ai's strong opposition, he tried every means to hide it again and again. But the result is that Xiaolan becomes more and more fragile and sensitive as she is deceived again and again.

Of course he can understand that in that situation, Xiao Ai, who lives in fear every day and walks on thin ice with fear, will never entrust her safety to an ordinary girl like Xiao Lan who is not yet mature and has no experience in the world. , so there is nothing wrong with her going all out to prevent Conan from confessing.

However, now under the influence of Ishino, Xiao Ai's physical and mental condition has been improved in all aspects, and Xiao Lan has also grown significantly with the help of Yang Zi. This two-pronged effect has given Xiao Ai enough love for Xiao Lan. Confidence, and at the same time, she also came up with the idea that instead of hurting the heart of a kind girl, she should put more effort into helping the young couple to find out. She is also responsible for a large part of the predicament between the two of them.

Thinking of this, Ishino couldn't help but be curious about how Yangzi's grandma trained Xiaolan, so that every time he saw Xiaolan during this period, he felt as if he had been a stranger for three days and looked at her with admiration.

Since I still have questions to ask about Koizumi Hongzi's family, I might as well find an opportunity to learn from her along with Xiaolan's questions. After all, I still have a lot to learn from the elderly on the issue of education.
