Gentleman's Night Canteen

Lan Meng stood silently behind the other party, while Miyano Shiho took the initiative to speak.

Although it was a little strange that Miyano Shiho's calmness was completely different from that of ordinary children, Dr. Ali still chose to return the gift, but what the other party said next made Dr. Ali's eyes widen instantly.

"I am a distant relative of Conan Edogawa. I heard that brother Shinichi also suffers from the same disease as me. I know that brother Shinichi often comes to you, doctor. I wonder if you, doctor, can let me meet him?"

At the beginning, when I heard that Miyano Shiho said that he was Conan’s relative, Dr. Ali was still confused. After all, Edogawa Conan was completely named by Kudo Shinichi, and the existence of the other party was fictitious. , the other party is not a liar, right?

But what he said next made him break out in a cold sweat.

The other party said that he had the same disease as Xinyi, coupled with the child's appearance of the other party and the serious expression that Lan Meng couldn't see, which was completely different from his peers, Dr. Ali's first reaction was whether the other party was the same as Xinyi. All of them took that strange drug, which caused their bodies to shrink.

And what the other party said next made him firm up his guess.

After all, since Kudo Shinichi did not solve the case, there have been rumors that the other party offended someone because of his detective work, and now he has been evaporated, so the other party has always been missing in the eyes of ordinary people.

But the little girl in front of her insisted that Shinichi often came to her. The only explanation was that the other party and Shinichi were both victims of taking that poison and eventually shrinking in size.

For a moment he was at a loss.

Compared with Dr. A Li, who was in a complicated mood, Lan Meng showed an expression of sudden realization.

Lan Meng felt that all the clues were worn! !

Why did the other party only appear in his shop in a white coat?

Because the other party escaped from the hospital!

So why did the other party escape?

It should be because of a very rare lesion and became the experimental subject of a special organization, and the other party's sister was probably killed to protect her or help her escape.

As for the person the other party is looking for, or the person she thinks will take her in, it should be a "patient". Besides the relationship between the two parties, it seems that they are also related to a person named Conan, who is a relative of her. However, other than that, the specific situation is unknown, and it is difficult for him to draw a conclusion.

And the man in front of him called 'Dr. A Li' should be an acquaintance of the other party's 'Brother Xinyi'.

Lan Meng silently sorted out the information in his mind, and Dr. A Li on the other side finally made a decision after a short silence...

Chapter 18 Do you think I'm stupid?

"No problem, since that's the case..."

Although Dr. Ali didn't know whether Miyano Shiho was an enemy or a friend, he obviously planned to agree first. As for what to do next, he planned to discuss with Kudo Shinichi.

But what he didn't expect was that he was interrupted before he could speak.

"Wait, Dr. Ali, I wonder if I can bother you."

"?"

At the beginning, Lan Meng had been standing silently behind Miyano Shiho. Dr. Ali thought that Lan Meng was his bodyguard, but when Lan Meng interrupted the communication between the two in an extremely abrupt way, he unconsciously He showed a puzzled expression.

"Is there something wrong?"

"There are some things I want to talk to you alone."

"In that case, please come in first."

Now that he has decided to take Miyano Shiho in temporarily, Dr. Ali naturally welcomed the two into his house.

Miyano Shiho sat directly on the sofa in the living room, because he knew that the other party was not a real child, so Dr. Ali just prepared some snacks for the other party and invited Lan Meng to his laboratory.

Obviously he is also very curious about the relationship between Blue Dream and Miyano Shiho.

In contrast, Lan Meng first touched the other party's head and told the other party that he wanted to chat with the "grandfather with white hair". After getting a positive response from Miyano Shiho, Lan Meng went to the other party's room with Dr. Ali office.

Although I am used to Kudo Shinichi pretending to be Edogawa Conan, Dr. Agasa still feels very delicate when he sees Miyano Shiho who has a cute face being touched by Lanmeng.

Fortunately, as the line of sight of the two sides was cut off, the somewhat weird atmosphere finally gradually returned to normal.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Li, because I don't want the child to hear some words, so I trouble you."

"It's okay~ It's okay~"

Through the communication between Lanmeng and Miyano Shiho, Dr. Ali also realized that Lanmeng probably didn't know that Miyano Shiho had also taken 'APTX4869', so his attitude was not as serious as before.

It's just that Lan Meng's next words made his expression gradually serious.

"I think you should have noticed that I am actually not familiar with that child. In fact, I just met her just now..."

Then Lan Meng briefly talked about how the other party broke into his shop suddenly, and then he helped the other party clean up his body, and waited for the other party to wake up before accompanying the other party to come here.

And this also made Dr. Ali reconfirm that Lan Meng was not familiar with the other party, but he was more concerned about the situation when Lan Meng found the other party.

According to Lan Meng's description, the other party's condition at that time was probably not very good.

'Could it be an innocent victim like Shinichi? '

Dr. Ali couldn't help but have such a guess, but at the same time he became more and more puzzled, if it was just a simple victim, then why did he know the connection between Shinichi and Conan?

It's a pity that Lan Meng didn't wait for him to think about it, but Lan Meng's next words made him startled.

"I hope you will forgive me for my next rudeness... May I ask what is your relationship with that child?"

Dr. A Li thought that Lan Meng would ask some question, but he didn't expect it to be this one, so he rubbed the back of his head and laughed.

"Since the child said that he is Conan's relative, he should also be regarded as my distant relative..."

Dr. A Li obviously planned to use the words that fooled Mao Lilan to deal with Lan Meng, but it was a pity that he couldn't continue in the middle of his sentence, because he found that Lan Meng didn't respond after listening to him. The slightly frowned eyebrows and the serious expression undoubtedly explained one thing.

He didn't believe his words.

This undoubtedly made Dr. Ali a little bit at a loss. After all, even if he is extremely smart, there is no necessary connection between EQ and IQ.

Fortunately, Lan Meng spoke again at this time.

"Dr. A Li, I believe you have no malicious intentions. If you have anything to say, please be blunt, but I hope you don't fool me..."

Lan Meng didn't think that the other party was a bad person, but the other party's appearance of fooling him was also unacceptable to Lan Meng.

After all, he was going to hand over the girl just now to the other party.

Lan Meng, who has recognized the "reality" of this world since he was a child, has never had the idea of ​​saving the world in secondary school. He even spent his adolescence amidst mountains of books, but he can't just watch someone Pushed into the flames by himself.

Facing Lan Meng with a serious face at this time, Dr. A Li felt a little helpless.

The opponent's aura was too strong, he didn't know how to speak at all, and finally he could only ask a little palely.

"Mr. Lan Meng, since you just met that child, why... are you so persistent."

"Because I have received favors from others when I was young, it is impossible for me to turn a blind eye to the children who may be injured in front of me. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of those who have given me favors?"

Maybe it was because of talking about happy things, so Lan Meng's tone relaxed a lot, but the determination between the words did not waver at all.

Dr. Ali, who had learned about the Blue Dream Method, was numb and didn't seem to know what to say.

to be frank?

Of course it is impossible, after all, this secret is of great importance.

lie?

He didn't fool Lan Meng's self-confidence at all.

At this moment, he felt as powerless as if he was stuck in a corner by two monsters while playing a game.

But he didn't mean to blame Lan Meng, not because Lan Meng apologized in advance, but because he could feel the kindness and persistence from the heart of the young man in front of him.

How could he be angry with such a person?

For a while, the atmosphere in the room fell into dead silence, and neither side spoke anymore.

The purpose of Lan Meng's coming here was not to play a game of silence with Dr. A Li. He tried to analyze the reason from the information obtained after the two parties met.

The other party undoubtedly did not know the child at the beginning, so when did the other party's attitude change?

Conan?The two names Kudo Shinichi?

wrong!

It's 'disease'!

"Is it because the child has the same disease as that man named 'Shinichi'?"

"!!!"

'How does this man know? ! '

There is no need for the other party to answer, the other party's expression has already explained everything.

This man named Dr. Ali decided to take in the little girl because of her illness.

"Can you tell me what kind of disease it is?"

Lan Meng spoke again, and this time Dr. Ali finally responded to Lan Meng.

"Sorry... I can't tell you the specifics, but I can assure you that I'm looking for a friend to work hard to solve this 'disease'."

Seeing Dr. Ali's serious expression, Lan Meng, who knew the cause and effect, sighed helplessly, but with his sigh, the atmosphere in the room returned to normal.

"Thank you, Doctor, for your truthful report. I would like to believe you. Although I'm just an ordinary chef and I don't know if I can help, but if there is anything I can help, please don't be polite, and..."

Generally speaking, Lan Meng took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

"This is the business card of my restaurant. Doctor, you can find me according to the business card. Although I am usually 'busy' at work, I will come to visit this child if I have the opportunity..."

When talking about "busy", Lan Meng paused slightly, but fortunately, Dr. Ali didn't notice this, he just breathed a sigh of relief, took Lan Meng's business card and nodded towards Lan Meng .

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

As Lanmeng and Dr. Ali left the room with a smile on their faces, Miyano Shiho, who was sitting on the sofa bored, was relieved.

It looks like the first step of my plan was a success...

Chapter 19 Father and Mother Are Stupid!

Obviously, she and Lan Meng had only known each other for only an hour, but for some reason, when Lan Meng rubbed her head and was about to leave, Miyano Shiho couldn't help but feel reluctant, and she really wanted to leave with him.

But fortunately, under normal circumstances, her reason is always higher than her sensibility, because she knows that even if she stays with the other party, she will only bring trouble to the other party, so she finally chose to remain silent.

It wasn't until Lan Meng's back completely disappeared before his eyes that Miyano Shiho took a deep breath and turned to look at Dr. Ari who was beside him.

"Hello, Dr. Ali, I have heard you famous for a long time."

Different from the cowardly girl who appeared in front of Lan Meng before, Miyano Shiho has a serious expression and a cold voice at this time. Even with the clear and clear child's voice, it can still make people feel the maturity in the other party's words that is completely opposite to the appearance.

"You...you really did take that medicine..."

"APTX4869."

"?"

"The name of the medicine, and I... am the researcher of that medicine!"

Miyano Shiho, who had made up her mind, did not intend to conceal her identity at all, but instead revealed all the information she thought she could tell the other party, and Dr. Ari's expression became extremely exciting.

He was horrified that the girl in front of him had actually developed a drug that would rejuvenate his youth, and at the same time, he was inconceivable that the other party was actually a member of the black organization that attacked Shinichi, but in the end this complicated expression turned into a helpless sigh .

He didn't know whether he should reprimand the other party for researching that kind of 'poison' that killed an unknown number of people, or pity that the other party was imprisoned like a bird in a cage when he was a child.

But at least he determined that the other party may not be a 'friendly army', but at least it should not be an 'enemy'.

As an inventor, his IQ is unquestionable, and his smooth head is the best evidence, but he is really not very good at dealing with the world, so he finally decided to wait for Shinichi to come back and have a good discussion with him.

But then he remembered another thing.

"So... what about that man named Lan Meng? Is he also a member of the organization?"

When Miyano Shiho heard Dr. Agasa's question, she was silent.

She wasn't surprised by the other party's question. After all, Lan Meng's appearance was so distinctive that most people couldn't forget it just by looking at it. She didn't expect the other party to ignore Lan Meng.

"No, he's just a 'stupid' who makes me feel too dazzling..."

When the words came out, Miyano Shiho's expression became extremely complicated.

While the other party was discussing Lan Meng with Dr. Ali, Lan Meng on the other side had already trotted back to the restaurant.

The first thing he did when he returned to the restaurant was to take the kitchen knife from his waist.

What surprised him was that Connor, who was supposed to be on the second floor, was sitting at the dining table and watching with wide eyes.

"Connor? Where's Arnia?"

"Ania went back, and made an appointment with Connor, come to play next time."

Connor's words were not unexpected. After all, the note Lan Meng left before was prepared for Ania who had already fallen asleep. It could even be said that this was a good choice.

Even if it's just a child, how can a girl like to be seen with red eye circles after crying?
