Chapter 819: Aftermath and the Beginning of the Lover Chapter

Lupin was startled and shouted in a very exaggerated tone: "Hey, how did you recognize me?" He touched his face and found that the mask was not damaged.

Then how did this person recognize me? Does he have clairvoyance?

The man chuckled, pointed at the confused Conan, then gestured to Jigen Daisuke and Goemon, and said, "How can three grown men take a child out to play?"

Lupin suddenly realized and glanced at Conan. It turned out that it was because of this little brat that he was exposed. He should have known not to use a mask on him, and he would have wasted one in vain.

Conan somehow understood the meaning in Lupin's eyes, and was immediately furious: It was you who begged me to wear the mask, why are you blaming me?

However, Lupin's disguise seems to be different from Yuya's.

I feel like Lupin's is more convenient, it can be changed at will, but the disguise seems to be a little worse? Wasn't it discovered right away?

Conan forgot in a flash that it was all because of him that he was discovered.

The man had a loud voice. Except for a small number of people who were not heard in the store, all the others who were looking for him outside came after him.

The man chuckled and said, "Don't even think about running away, Lupin. These are specially made disposable handcuffs. There is no key to open them. You can't run away now, right?"

"Catch Lupin!"

A group of nearly thirty people rushed over in a mighty manner, scaring the shoppers so much that they ran away in all directions. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

Lupin secretly thought that this was a good opportunity, and with a flick of his wrist, he took off his wrist in front of the man's shocked gaze, then grinned at the man and said, "Goodbye~"

The man stared blankly at the handcuffs on the ground, which had a fake hand on them.

"Ah! Lupin ran away, chase him!"

Having said so much, it only took a few seconds.

When Lupin escaped, the man's companions had not arrived yet, so he could only chase after them alone.

But because of the commotion they caused, the building was in great chaos. The guests who were about to come in, after hearing the noise inside, did not dare to come in for a while and all blocked the door.

By the time the man pushed through the crowd and chased after them, Lupin and his companions had already disappeared.

"Damn it, he got away!" The man threw the handcuffs on the ground angrily. He had specially prepared them.

He originally thought that he could use these unopenable handcuffs to catch Lupin and get the bounty, but he didn't expect that... Lupin was too lazy to open the handcuffs and just took his hands off.

At this time, his companions also chased out.

"Where's Lupin?"

"Ran."

"Ran?"

"My bounty!"

Everyone wailed and knelt on the ground, crying bitterly. They seemed to see countless banknotes suddenly grow wings and fly away.

Passersby were frightened by the strange actions of this group of people and walked around them for fear of being infected.

···

On the other side, Lupin and others who successfully escaped the pursuit hid in an empty alley.

"Did you get rid of it?"

"Should get rid of it."

Conan stood up, patted his butt and said, "I don't want to play with you anymore. I want to go home."

"Eh?" Lupin yelled, "You're going back like this? Aren't you going to catch me?"

He pointed at Conan's watch and said, "I saw it several times just now. Are you going to use this to annoy me?"

Conan rolled his eyes: "So what if I'm paralyzed?" He glanced at Jigen Daisuke and Goemon.

He only had one anesthetic needle. Even if he really knocked Lupin down, it was impossible for these two people to just watch him send Lupin to the police station, right?

Lupin understood what Conan meant, but he was still a little skeptical. He touched his chin and said, "This doesn't really fit your character."

Conan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I won't do anything that I'm not sure I can do. Otherwise, I'll just put myself in danger."

Even though he and Lupin and the others ran away together and looked like comrades in distress, in fact they were just going with the flow. They were not on the same path after all.

Conan is no longer the impulsive person he used to be. Now he is better at judging the situation.

Seeing this, Jigen Daisuke said with relief: "Child, you have grown up."

Conan said with a dark face: "Stop talking nonsense! I'm leaving now. Be careful not to get caught by them."

Lupin said with a smile: "Why, are you worried about me?"

Conan put one hand in his pocket, tilted his head slightly, and said coolly: "No, because I'm the only one who can catch you!" Then he turned and left.

Lupin looked at Conan's receding back and suddenly laughed out loud: "This kid is still as pretentious as ever."

Jigen Daisuke asked, "What should we do now?"

Lupin thought for a moment and said, "If we act together, our target will be too obvious. Let's split up and go back. I just don't know what happened to Fujiko."

Goemon said in a muffled voice: "As for that woman, nothing will happen."

Lupin smiled and said: "That's true, after all, that's Fujiko-chan~"

···

When Conan returned to Kyoto Gymnasium, the concert had already ended.

Emilion came down from the stage, took the towel handed to him by the staff, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Claudia came over.

Emilion said excitedly: "Did you see my performance today?"

Claudia smiled with satisfaction and nodded, "I saw it. It was great, better than any previous performance!"

Emilion stared at Claudia in a daze, feeling a little uneasy. After a long silence, he said, "In the future, are you willing to stay by my side and watch over me?"

Claudia didn't answer, but just said softly: "Go back."

In the background, Inspector Megure was answering the phone, nodding from time to time: "Yeah, is that so? I understand."

After hanging up the phone, I noticed someone approaching. I turned around and saw that it was Claudia, followed by Maori and his daughter.

Claudia came over with a relieved smile on her face: "Captain, thank you for letting me stay until the end, and then..."

Inspector Megure looked at Claudia and blinked: "Is there anything else?"

"Huh?" Claudia was stunned.

Inspector Megure smiled and said, "Since the concert has ended successfully, let's take Emilion back to the hotel to rest."

Claudia's eyes widened in disbelief: "Inspector..."

Mao Lilan came over and held Claudia's hand, and said happily: "That's great, Miss Claudia!"

Claudia wiped her eyes, trying hard to hold back tears of joy, and nodded vigorously: “Yes!”

Maori Kogoro walked up to Inspector Megure and asked in a low voice: "Inspector?"

Inspector Megure looked around and whispered, "Brother Maori, this matter should not be told to outsiders, but if you say so, I can reveal a little."

"Luciano has been arrested for smuggling, and he has confessed to some of his past crimes. Whether to extradite him is not something we need to consider, but he will probably have to spend the rest of his life in prison."

"And the transport plane that his trading partner was driving crashed into the sea due to a sudden malfunction. Search and rescue operations are underway, but there is a high probability that he has no hope of survival."

"Then..." Maori Kogoro asked tentatively, "Didn't he give Miss Claudia away?"

Inspector Megure tilted his head, pretending to be cute: "What does this have to do with Miss Claudia? Luciano didn't say anything."

Maori Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that this person still retained some conscience at the last moment?"

Inspector Megure was noncommittal: "Maybe."

————————I am the dividing line of all evil————————

That day, Miyano Shiho drove the car with Yuya, Mao Li Ran, Suzuki Sonoko and Conan towards Fukito Villa.

Yuya propped up his chin, looked at the snow-covered road, and said weakly: "So, why do we have to go to a cabin in the mountains to make chocolate?"

Suzuki Sonoko covered her mouth and smiled, "This is all necessary practice to be a competent bride!"

Yuya turned around in surprise: "You and Mr. Kyogoku are already considering getting married?"

Suzuki Sonoko's mood was visibly depressed, and Yuya asked in confusion: "What happened? Did you have a fight?"

Suzuki Sonoko shook her head: "Not really, it's just that Zhen hasn't contacted me recently. Even if I took the initiative to call him, all I heard was a voicemail message."

Mao Lilan showed a worried expression: "No way?"

Yuya also consoled him: "Maybe he's just busy with the competition?"

Suzuki Sonoko sighed: "I really blame myself, right? Last time I gave him a sweater, I missed a chance to express my feelings to him. Later, I told him on the phone that I wanted to make a Valentine's Day chocolate myself, but I didn't say it was for him..."

Yuya and Conan lowered their eyes: It seems that this is the reason, Kyogoku Makoto, that straight guy, if we don’t tell him directly, he will definitely think that the chocolate is for someone else.

Suzuki Sonoko was about to cry as she spoke: "If I had known at that time, I should have told him that the chocolate was for him."

Mao Lilan was also a little amused and said, "Don't worry, as long as you give the chocolate to Mr. Kyogoku..."

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly said: "Xiaolan, you are really strong."

Mao Lilan was stunned.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at her and said, "I'm so sad because I haven't talked to Zhen for just one week. You and Shinichi haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

Mao Lilan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it. Besides, even if that guy is not around me, I'm living a good life."

Besides, Shinichi has actually been with me the whole time. Mao Lilan secretly lowered her head and glanced at the top of Conan's head.

Yuya secretly glanced at Miyano Shiho who was driving, and thought to himself: Chocolate...

Miyano Shiho noticed something and turned to look at Yuya: "What's wrong?"

Yuya quickly shook his head: "No, nothing."

Miyano Shiho:?

Yuya sighed quietly: Based on Shiho's personality, she probably wouldn't do something like giving chocolates, right?

More likely, she would say disdainfully: Valentine's Day and the like are nothing more than promotions by businesses. How many people would remember that Valentine's Day was originally a holiday established to commemorate a priest who sacrificed his life for love?

···

When they arrived at Fukito Villa, they were greeted by an old lady in her sixties named Yoasa Chiyoko.

Yuya looked around and said in confusion, "I don't think there's anything special here, why is the chocolate here so famous?"

Chiyoko said helplessly, "It's just because a man and a woman met while making chocolate here 10 years ago and later got married, which caused a lot of discussion in magazines and on TV."

"My husband was the boss here. After he passed away four years ago, there were rumors of ghosts haunting the place, and the number of tourists dropped suddenly."

Mao Lilan immediately showed a frightened expression: "Ghost, ghost?"

Chiyoko suddenly showed a gloomy expression: "In short, once it starts snowing here, don't go out casually, unless you want to receive special gifts from ghosts."

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help hugging each other and asked in a trembling voice: "What do you mean by a special gift?"

"It's just chocolate."

Suddenly, the door of the villa was opened, and a man in a ski suit walked out, followed by two other women.

Erheng Jiagui smiled and said, "The mountain roads here are quite complicated, so people often get killed here. What's strange is that chocolate is placed on the snow at this time, and next to the bodies that were found."

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko became even more frightened.

Erheng Jiagui: "The local people believe that they were on their way to make chocolate in this wooden house when they accidentally got lost and encountered a female ghost. Of course, some people also believe that it was the snow woman who was haunting them..."

“There are many theories.”

"Snow Girl?!" Ran Mouri couldn't help but scream.

Erheng Jiagui laughed a few times. "Don't worry, the police think that the animals in the mountains couldn't find food to eat, so they rummaged through the victims' luggage and accidentally scattered the chocolates they brought on the snow."

Upon hearing the police's conclusion, Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay," Erheng Jiagui pushed down the snow glasses on his head and put them on, "I should go to work too."

One of the women followed Erheng Jiagui and prepared to leave.

At this time, another person, Fenchuan Hyouka, shouted, "Erheng."

"Huh?" Erheng Jiagui looked back in confusion.

Fenchuan Hyouka said, "It's good if you are enthusiastic about the investigation, but don't be too enthusiastic, or you will be confused by the snow girl and get lost in the forest."

Erheng Jiagui laughed a few times, with a bit of disdain in his tone: "Don't worry, if that snow girl really wants to give me chocolate, I will tell her..."

Then he put his arm around the woman beside him and said, "Excuse me, I already have a woman named Yazi."

After saying that, he kissed Gan Liyazi on the face.

Gan Liya blushed shyly: "Jiagui you really are..."

Conan asked curiously: "That man said he was going to work, what does he do?"

Seeing that Conan was a child, Gan Liyako smiled and explained, "Actually, he is a reporter. He came here to take pictures of something he investigated five years ago."

Conan said, "Is that so~"

Fenchuan Hyouka took over the conversation and said, "At first, as a photographer, I would always go with him because he said that we would definitely see that in the forest."

Mao Lilan asked fearfully: "See that... that can't be the snow girl?"
