Miss Moriarty wants to save Mihua Town today too

"It's also a good opportunity, for example, to participate in outdoor training with the karate clubs of other schools. For three days and two nights in a row, maybe some new sparks will be created? You are single now, so there is no need to worry about it. How that Kudo Shinichi guy feels—or rather, if you find a new boyfriend, he’ll come running back—'Ah, Ran! Don't leave me!' while running and yelling Oh, call!"

Yuanzi vividly made exaggerated movements like a stage play, poked his chest with one hand obliquely, spun dance steps with one foot, and clasped his fingers together after spinning a circle, then faced Xiaolan and stretched out his arms.

"How could this happen!?" Mao Lilan's ears were reddened by Yuanzi's words, "Really," she complained angrily.

"Hey!" Yuanzi chased after him with a smile, "That's because he likes you, Xiaolan. You actually understand it very well? Whenever he was asked about his relationship, he would answer no in an awkward way. That one stayed with him all the time. Who is the woman next to you...Even the kid can tell, as long as you find a boyfriend, even if he is in the remotest corners of the world, he will definitely fly back to confess his love to you!"

The flamboyant drama made Mao Lilan quicken his pace again.

"Yuanzi! You are so good at acting, why don't you just play the heroine in the drama department!" Mao Lilan left her alone.

"Well, I can't act in front of so many people."

Yuanzi trotted to keep up, and smiled apologetically at Xiaolan.

"Ah! Why aren't you a boy, Xiaolan... My fanatical pursuit is over before it starts."

"Yuanzi, there are people on the road." Mao Lilan reminded.

When the two of them get along, Sonoko seems a bit too cheerful, but only when other people are present, it becomes clear that she is just an innocent girl who loves to imagine.

Yuanzi's exaggerated image was seen by passing office workers, and he immediately turned into a small animal with a beautiful voice.

"Didn't uncle say today that he is going to accept a friend's invitation to go to Hokkaido to soak in hot springs? Xiaolan, what are your plans?" Sonoko flinched for a moment, then asked lively.

After exiting Didan University, it is facing Mihua New Street, and there are rows of pine trees in the small park on the left.The two walked through the park and went down to the crowded station entrance, waiting for the train to pass behind the lifting barrier.Many college students can be seen nearby. To the north of Tedan High School, Teidan University is built in Nandashan. There are many college students who want to get on the bus at Mihua Station.

In the Mihua Park that can already be seen, a group of elderly people sat on the tender grass and opened their lunch boxes; there were also some young men and women strolling leisurely.

Sonoko looked around and muttered, "When will I be able to enjoy my youth?"

"Xiaolan, shall we go play tonight too?" Yuanzi said again.

"I'm sorry, Sonoko. I have to go home and make dinner..." Xiaolan replied.

"Dinner? Didn't that kid go with uncle?" Yuanzi frowned, feeling that Xiaolan was hiding something from her, "Can't we eat outside?"

"This..."

"what?"

"Actually, Dr. Ali happened to have something to do."

"Dr. Li?"

"It's the doctor next door to the new family. A child named Huiyuan from his relative's family has no one to take care of him, so he is temporarily staying at my house for the past two days."

"Then bring her along!" Yuanzi asked, "What kind of child is she?"

"It gives people a very mature feeling..."

"Isn't that similar to Conan's kid? It sounds very troublesome."

For some reason, that kid felt a lot like Kudo Shinichi to her.

Sonoko is very upset by his fart and arrogance.

"No, she is a very cute and steady girl." Xiaolan smiled.

"Then let me see it too!"

"Really, you can't help it. Do you want to come to my house to eat together?" Xiao Lan said as she turned on her phone, "I have to tell Miss Winette that I won't be practicing at her place today."

"That's right, you're learning sewing from Miss Winnet...have you decided what to do?"

Mao Lilan lowered his head, and the figure of Kudo Shinichi appeared in his head.That was Shinichi in his childhood.He plays football well and is smart, and is the central figure among the boys.On his birthday, she gave him a small scarf that his mother helped to weave together. Although he looked reluctant, he wore it for several years until the size was no longer suitable.

When others asked about Kudo Shinichi's scarf, he hurriedly fooled it, but Mao Lilan knew that he valued her gift very much.

Soon it will be May [-]th, which is Shinichi's birthday.Mao Lilan has decided to knit a sweater by herself before then and give it to him as a gift.

"Well, I guess a sweater would be about the same."

"Oh, it's not an easy challenge to weave well!" Sonoko also became interested, "Why don't we go to Miss Winette's together? I'm also very interested in this aspect of practice."

"How is this going to work? And..."

"It's nothing! Miss Winnet lives alone. Living alone in such a big house must be very lonely. Besides, she lives near the Kudo Shin's family, not far away. That person is very kind to Xiao The child has a strong affinity and a very gentle temper, even if you take a child there, it is absolutely no problem!"

Mao Lilan heard that Yuanzi was in high spirits, and she was a little embarrassed.

Sonoko and Miss Winnet have known each other for a longer period of time. It's not that she suspects that Sonoko's words are wrong, but that when she went to Miss Winnet recently——

"I feel that Miss Winnet's condition is not particularly good recently."

"situation?"

"Well, it's mental. She looks a little tired. When I went to her last time, she accidentally pricked her hand, and she always feels a little absent-minded. She is often in a daze when she is alone, and it feels better not to bother her." She's better."

These sounds very familiar to Yuanzi.Isn't that what happens most frequently in romance novels?Yuanzi was confident, she stared into Xiaolan's eyes and said:

"This must be—"

"definitely is?"

"In love! in love! A priest who loves God in love with a man who has no faith. . . Oh, she must be troubled by this."

In the translated novels, the various life forms of love and lust seem to have undergone rapid evolution.Sonoko imagined more in just a moment. In her theory of youth, the world is made up of intricate relationships between men and women.

Sonoko believes that there is that kind of love that is intoxicated and waiting in a daze in the world.

Miss Winnet is caught in the distress of love, and as a devout pastor, she has never had any experience in love, and she is facing a storm—difficult choices and actions she should take.Yuanzi believes that at this time, someone must be there to enlighten her, to help her make suggestions, to get rid of the hesitation and hesitation caught between faith and freedom—to let her bravely pursue love.

"Uh...is that so?"

Xiaolan is not sure.She felt that although Miss Winnet was kind, she also cleverly kept a distance from others, and she was not a person who would be emotionally impulsive no matter what.

But she couldn't be sure, Miss Winnet was really preoccupied, and for women of the right age, romance was indeed an unavoidable topic.

"Xiao Lan, let's make a bet?" Yuanzi smirked.

"bet?"

"Anyway, what do you want to prepare for the new year's birthday?" Yuanzi laughed teasingly, "If I win, Xiaolan, you have to take his first kiss."

"What are you talking about, Sonoko? I wouldn't make such a strange bet with you."

It's because Xiaolan is serious about everything, so it's interesting to tease her.Sonoko felt dark.

"Then we've agreed, let's take your little devil to visit Miss Winette."

As soon as Yuanzi finished speaking, he quickly put into action and opened the flip phone to call the church.When the phone was connected, Sonoko heard Qian Tian's voice, and one minute after please, she heard Winnet's voice, and then told them their plan, which also included the matter of the child "Hui Yuan".

Winnett who answered the phone was a little unhappy at first, because it would take up her precious free time at night. If she was too busy running around to find Shirley during the day, the people in the organization might not notice anything unusual. must.After all, not everyone is as enthusiastic about traitors as Gin is. If she disrupts her original rhythm of life for this matter, it will attract the attention of other people in the organization.

When she heard the surname "Huihara", she immediately thought of the little girl who appeared at Professor Hirota's house at that time.Sonoko is going to bring her to her home, which cheers up Winette.After the last incident, she has already investigated that Shirley's disappearance and Hui Yuan Ai's appearance were almost at the same time. What's more, she sent someone to bribe the staff of the Civic Office. In the column of hometown, no Hui Yuan was found. Yuan Ai's name.

Even though it might have remained in her hometown without relocation, this information alone was enough to make her suspicious.

What's more, in the conversation at the professor's house at that time, her tone and image were very similar to Shirley.

"There's a little problem," Winnet explained. "I've been invited to watch the Japanese fireworks on the observation ship tonight."

"Ah, that's right..." Yuanzi revealed a trace of disappointment in his tone.

"But I can go with my friends. If you don't mind spending the night on board..."

"no problem!"

Winnet wanted to say something to invite them, but Sonoko responded simply.

"That's good. Just come to my house before seven o'clock." Winnet replied.

After Yuanzi hung up the phone, he gestured to Xiao Ran that he was done.

"Xiao Lan, shall we live outside tonight?" Yuanzi said, becoming a nympho, "Miss Winnet invited us to watch the fireworks on the boat, maybe there are many handsome guys on board..."

"You have already agreed?" Xiaolan was a little speechless.

"No problem, anyway, uncle is not at home. As long as I tell my parents that Miss Winnet invited me, they will definitely agree." Yuanzi said plainly.

"I really can't help you..."

They came to the Maori office.Xiaolan opened the door on the third floor and walked into the living room with Sonoko. The mess left by Mori Kogoro last night had disappeared, and the low table in the living room was clean.There is a gas stove on the table, the hot white gas, the smell of miscellaneous cooking, and the sound of gurgling all seem very cheerful.

"Where is the little girl you were talking about?"

Just as Sonoko asked, Hui Yuanai, who was hiding in the kitchen, slowly leaned out.

It's not a necessary precaution, but I always subconsciously want to confirm who is coming first, probably because I still have the fear of people from the organization suddenly coming to the door in my heart, Hui Yuanai dared to come out after hearing the voices of the two.Because she was dependent on others, she also did some flattering things, such as cleaning up the house, and making the current messy stew. She didn't expect that there would be one more person, and she thought it might not be enough.

"Who is this sister?"

Haibara Ai tried her best to maintain a childlike appearance, and sometimes she would ignore this, but she was not as nervous as Edogawa, and would do some outrageous things every now and then.

Thinking that it would be great if Conan was as sensible and capable as Xiao Ai, Xiaolan said, "This is my friend, Suzuki Sonoko."

Seeing the tidy living room and the food being cooked, Sonoko felt a sense of awe and respect, and couldn't treat the child in front of him as a little ghost.

Having said that, is the first grade of primary school so cumbersome now?Already started home economics classes?

Sonoko smelled the tangy fragrance and felt deeply ashamed.Maybe as long as she cooks and cleans like Xiaolan, and is a little more gentle and pleasant, love will come easily.

Looking at Hui Yuanai who looked cold in front of her, Sonoko bent her body and held out her hand: "Hi, I'm Suzuki Sonoko, Xiaolan's friend."

Xiaolan was a little surprised, because Yuanzi's self-introduction was very formal.

"Huihara Ai, my name." Xiao Ai said.

Sonoko successfully held her hand, and gained a new understanding of her cold attitude—like some 20-year-old daughters who have never been in a relationship and have a cold attitude, they feel ashamed.

Isn't this guy actually a rejuvenated and indifferent woman?

……

240 The Three Meet

"I'm sorry, Xiao Ai. We are going to visit a friend's house. She invited us to go on a sightseeing boat. Can you come with us?"

Xiaolan showed an apologetic expression, and squatted in front of Hui Yuanai.

"No need, just the two of you can play. It doesn't matter if I'm alone." Hui Yuanai said.

Although she didn't like the name "Xiao Ai" very much, there was no need to show her rebellious side in front of this woman.

She can understand why Kudo likes this girlfriend. The feeling she gives her is very similar to the feeling her sister gives her, both of whom are pure-minded and kind-hearted.

Like dolphins among animals.

Such a woman will give people a natural affection, and she is no exception.

"I'm really sorry that I didn't discuss it with Xiao Ai in advance..." Mao Lilan showed guilt.

Such a young child prepared dinner for her, but she didn't indicate in advance that she was going out and let the other party prepare it for nothing.Mao Lilan thought to herself, and took Xiao Ai and the stew to share with Miss Winette, but now that the request was rejected, she couldn't make up her mind for a while.

"Since you are under the care of others, you should listen to the guardian's words."

Yuanzi took the initiative to put on a black face.

She grabbed Haibara Ai by the back of the collar like she was carrying Conan, and lifted her up.

"Children should act like children, don't pretend to be adults!"

"Yuanzi!" Mao Lilan called her name, hoping she would not go too far.

Even if some people are big, their mentality is no different from that of a child.Although Xiao Ai thought so, she didn't say any provocative words. She sighed quietly and said to Yuanzi, "How about putting me down first?"

It was a process that would make people feel humiliated, but after becoming a child for a long time, she didn't care too much. If she really lost her temper with an "adult", she really became a child.

Yuanzi followed suit.

"You are really not cute." Yuanzi complained while letting go.

"To each other." Hui Yuanai patted the knitted sweater and glanced at Yuanzi, "So, where are you going to take me?"

"It's a luxurious sightseeing ship, with delicious food and beautiful scenery, and handsome men and beautiful women gathered together gracefully." Sonoko snorted, she felt that children would definitely be attracted to these things.

When she opened her eyes, she still saw Xiao Ai's cold expression.

"It's just that you want to catch men?" Xiao Ai is not interested. "Although taking the initiative is a good opportunity to reap love, but being too eager will make you easy to be deceived. Why don't you pay attention to your surroundings? Isn't there a saying that is important? Is something invisible?"

Have you been preached to yourself?Sonoko was taken aback.

"I can't stand it, the brats are exaggerating one by one!" Yuanzi's eyes jumped.
