Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 310 Xiao Ai's Discovery

"Ah, could it be that I stepped on it during the last blow..." Looking at the footprints that could prove the victory or defeat, Xiaolan scratched her head in embarrassment and smiled at Kyogoku, "Senior Kyogoku, this is It looks like you won the game, congratulations."

"That's great, Sonoko." After saying that, she walked behind Sonoko, who had a slightly red face, and pushed him toward Kyogoku Makoto, smiling, "I have already felt Kyogoku-senpai's feelings towards Kyogoku-senpai from the duel just now. It’s your intention, so you can feel free to associate with him.”

"Thank you, Xiaolan..." Yuanzi said with some emotion.

"This is indeed undeniable. It is precisely because he cares so much about you that the victory in this game is so thrilling." At this time, Yangzi also came over and looked at the two people who were standing face to face, a little shy. He said, "No matter what, I have passed the test. From now on, the safety of the garden will be left to you, Kyogoku-senpai."

"Well, I will do my best to protect her." Kyogoku didn't hesitate and nodded seriously, "And today's competition really benefited me a lot, and I also realized my shortcomings in mentality. , I hope to compete with you Sawabe-san one day."

"Haha, I'm also looking forward to that day coming soon." Yangzi laughed when he heard this, "But I don't like to play with any rules, so if you want to challenge me, come to Real Sword Victory. You have to be prepared. ."

"That's natural. Challenging the strong must not be restricted by rules. It should be in line with the true meaning of martial arts. This is what it should be." Kyogoku nodded again with expectant eyes.

"Okay, you stupid martial arts idiot, you are still thinking about the martial arts competition at this time, you should seize the time to accompany Sonoko, we are going back to Tokyo in the afternoon." Yoko glared at the other party angrily, He immediately called the others to leave, leaving time and space for Sonoko and Kyogoku Makoto, the newly formed couple.

……

In the evening, the group packed their luggage and prepared to return to Tokyo.

Sonoko bid farewell to Kyogoku Maya under the reflection of the sunset on the beach, and agreed to go to Tokyo to find her after the other party had finished her work at home. In front of her, she ordered a pair of brand new ones from the newly built online shopping platform of the Kasaka Group. A couple’s smartphone, telling the other person to send him messages from time to time after receiving the phone.

"It's so romantic..." Seeing the two people chatting with each other, Xiaolan couldn't help but think of Shinichi who didn't know where he was. She glanced at Conan next to her with some envy and sighed, "Conan, what do you mean? If I use the money I save from my part-time job to buy a new mobile phone for Xinyi, will he be surprised?"

Conan, who was choking on some dog food, suddenly froze when he heard Xiaolan's question. He vaguely felt that it was a bit strange for the other party to ask a primary school student such a question to him, but he still pretended to be an innocent child and answered with a smile. Said: "Well, I think brother Xinyi will be very happy no matter what gift he receives from sister Xiaolan!"

"Oh, what if Yuanzi secretly took a photo of me?" Hearing Conan's answer, Xiaolan laughed and asked, "Does it mean that he will accept it happily?"

"Ah? This..." Faced with this sudden soul torture, Conan's mind went blank for a moment. He wanted to explain a few words for himself but couldn't, so he had to pretend not to understand and kept silent.

"Hahaha, I'm kidding, Conan, are you really thinking about that guy Shinichi?" Seeing that Conan, who was usually very articulate at the scene of the crime, was speechless at this moment, Xiaolan smiled and pretended He waved his hand and said, "Okay, Sonoko has already said goodbye, let's hurry to the station." Seeing Xiaolan finish the last topic that made him a little nervous, Conan was instantly relieved, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yeah, yeah , let’s go quickly, Sister Xiaolan, Uncle Kogoro should be waiting impatiently at home.”

In this way, the group ended this unforgettable trip to Izu, watched the sunset on the seaside, and embarked on their journey home.

……

After saying goodbye to Xiaolan and others at the station, Ishino drove his Suzuki car and took the family back to Mihua Town along the coastal road.

When he was about to get home, Xiao Ai suddenly remembered that he had made an appointment with the children of the Junior Detective Corps to go camping in the countryside soon, so he needed to buy some camping supplies, so Ishino parked the car in front of a nearby convenience store. , let Natsumi drive Xiaosaki and Naia home first, while she got off the car and accompanied Xiao Ai to a convenience store to buy some daily necessities.

After entering the convenience store, the two of them rummaged through the messy shelves for a while, then put the things they needed to buy into the shopping basket one by one, and prepared to go to the counter to check out.

At this moment, a sweet-looking young woman walked up to the two of them, pointed to a bottle of detergent in the shopping basket in Ishino's hand and asked with some embarrassment: "Excuse me, can you tell me about this bottle of detergent?" Which shelf did you get the medicine from? I just searched for a long time and couldn't find it."

"It's in the corner of the bottom row of the shelves with cleaning supplies over there. Big sister, you should be able to see it if you look carefully." Xiao Ai answered while sweeping her eyes from the other person's shopping basket with a look on her face. He suggested seriously, "But I don't recommend you, sister, to buy that kind of detergent. If you mix it with the kind of detergent in your basket, it will produce toxic gases!"

"Yes, is that so?!" Hearing Xiao Ai's reminder, the young woman's face was slightly surprised. Then she picked up the bottle of detergent in the shopping basket and glanced at the label. She smiled and nodded in thanks, "Little sister. You know a lot. Thanks to your reminder, I was able to notice this hidden danger, so I'd better buy another bottle of other types of detergent."

Watching the woman's back as she walked towards the shelf, Xiao Ai paid special attention to her actions. After seeing that the woman had indeed taken a bottle of other types of detergent and put it into the shopping basket, she felt relieved and went to the counter to check out.

After walking out of the convenience store, Xiao Ai recalled the shopping list in the hands of the young woman before. She looked at Ishino beside her with some worry and reminded: "Dad, did you think that sister just now was a little strange?"

"Well, Xiao Ai, the strange thing you are talking about must be that shopping list, right?" In fact, when Ishino heard the young woman's sweet voice that resembled a certain "big devil" in his memory, he realized that the other party was probably Yoneka Town. One of countless victims.

It's just that he didn't originally intend to interfere with the other party's fate, so he didn't take the initiative to mention his discovery. After all, there are so many murders in Yoneka Town every year. If he had to intervene every time he encountered a possible incident, then he would I'm afraid I won't have time to participate in running the company and spending time with my wife and children.
