Chapter 853: Mao Lilan wants to confess her love?
Of course, Yuya was just thinking casually. Suzuki Sonoko was not that kind of playboy.
Rather, if she didn't mention the last name Suzuki when she went out, who would have thought that she was the daughter of the Suzuki Group?
Mao Lilan also disagreed with Suzuki Sonoko's idea: "I don't think Shinichi's father will give up investigating the case for this reason."
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment: "That's true."
Although she always makes inferences that the idiot is called Kudo Shinichi, she is also very clear that Kudo father and son are both people with a strong sense of justice who will not bow to the powerful.
At this time, Okiya Subaru narrowed his eyes and said, "If that's the case, how about going directly to discuss it with him?"
Mao Lilan was stunned: "Who are you looking for?"
Subaru Okiya said: "It's Shinichi, the classmate who is very good at reasoning, who I occasionally hear my classmates mention."
Suddenly he thought of something, turned to Yuya and said, "Of course, there is a famous high school detective here, so we don't need to find someone else, but I think the son of the person involved should know more about the case, right?"
Youye shrugged his shoulders: "I don't care. I was only 7 or 8 years old at that time. To be honest, I don't have much memory of that case. If Xiaolan and the others hadn't happened to meet today, I would have almost forgotten it."
This is of course a lie.
Masumi Sera crossed his arms and said, "Are you talking about that Kudo Shinichi? The high school detective who is also Ran's boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend?!" Mao Lilan's face flushed red, and she hurriedly explained, "He's not my boyfriend, Sera, don't talk nonsense!"
Yuya tilted his head, looking at Xiaolan's expression, could it be that Conan hasn't confessed yet? Or is she too embarrassed to admit it?
Well, I have to ask that kid later, don’t keep the progress secret. If that’s the case, I’ll be very heartbroken as a father!
"Is the Shinichi you are talking about the owner of this house?" Okiya Subaru suddenly asked.
Yuya was shocked, but he didn't show any abnormality on the surface.
"Hey, Mr. Subaru, you moved in here without knowing it?" Sera Masumi looked at Okiya Subaru in surprise.
Subaru Okiya shook his head and pretended to think: "It was Yuya who said that he could lend me this house temporarily, and he asked for the other party's consent, but I also asked for details.
There are also rumors that high school detective Shinichi Kudo has lost his life while investigating a case and has now completely disappeared from the mystery scene."
Mao Lilan was shocked: "It turned out to be such a rumor?"
If she didn't know very well that Shinichi was living in her house now, she would almost believe it.
Subaru Okiya nodded, "Yeah, so I thought the Shinichi you mentioned in the conversation just now was someone else."
Sera Masumi frowned and said with a smile: "How could he die... Although I haven't met him in person or talked to him on the phone, he definitely won't die, right? Xiaolan, and Kamiya-san?"
Mao Lilan laughed dryly: "Of course not."
Yuya shrugged his shoulders: "Of course this is just a rumor. Sometimes I get calls from Shinichi, because he encounters difficulties in investigating a case and asks me for help."
"Is that so?" Sera Masumi looked at Yuya with an inquiring look.
Youya proudly flipped his hair: "Of course, after all, I am much better than him in reasoning."
“···”Everyone present fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Suzuki Sonoko laughed silently a few times and tried to change the subject: "But why is there a rumor that Shinichi is dead?"
Mao Lilan laughed dryly, "It seems that the rumor was deliberately spread in order to prevent the criminal from raising his vigilance, so he concealed his identity?"
Suzuki Sonoko lowered her dead fish eyes and said with disdain: "Who does that guy think he is? A ninja lurking in the castle? And he's hiding his identity."
Sera Masumi suggested, "Why don't we give him a call now and ask him?"
"Huh?" Mao Lilan said hesitantly, "But I have already told him about today's case through text message."
Sera Masumi smiled and said, "But you haven't told him yet that the police are treating this case as a theft case, right?"
Mao Lilan was stunned: "That's right..."
"Besides," Suzuki Sonoko also cheered on the side, "What if you don't call him and talk to him in person, Xiaolan?"
"Huh? Why?"
Suzuki Sonoko's face was full of anticipation: "You also have to confess to Shinichi by the way!"
"Huh?" Mao Lilan was confused. What was going on? Why was she suddenly confessing her feelings?
Yuya, who was watching the fun with his chin on his hand, almost hit his chin on the table due to a trembling hand. Facing the puzzled looks of the others, Yuya smiled awkwardly and waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.
Sera Masumi's expression changed slightly, but she hid it well. However, this scene was seen by Okiya Subaru on the opposite side, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.
Suzuki Sonoko glared at Yuya, secretly annoyed at him for interrupting her, and continued to encourage Mao Lilan: "Okay, hurry up!"
"Ah, oh..." Ran Mouri's ears were originally a little soft, but after being instigated by Suzuki Sonoko, she agreed somehow and took out her cell phone to make a call.
At the same time, she also noticed that the person she dialed was Kudo Shinichi, not Conan.
When the call was connected, Mao Lilan was a little nervous: "Hello, hello? Shinichi, it's me, Xiaolan, can you answer the phone now?"
Suzuki Sonoko quickly came over and stuck close to Mouri Ran to try to eavesdrop on the phone call. Mouri Ran could only try her best to lean back to avoid her.
Kudo Shinichi's voice came from the phone.
"Hmm? Yes, sure. What's up?" But the voice was a little suppressed, and it sounded like someone was answering the phone while avoiding others.
"That's it. Do you remember the case we encountered today?"
"Of course I remember. What's wrong? Isn't Yu with you? Can't he solve it?" Kudo Shinichi's tone was a little surprised, but for some reason, Mouri Ran heard something from it...smug joy?
"No, it's not." Mao Lilan quickly denied, "We are still investigating. I just want to ask you about the specific circumstances of the case. Also, after Inspector Megure arrived at the scene, he classified the case as a theft case."
"Theft case?" Kudo Shinichi seemed to be thinking about something. He still remembered the case from ten years ago, which was later ruled as accidental death. He also remembered that the case was handled by Inspector Megure.
However, ten years later, blood words appeared at the crime scene again, and Inspector Megure was in charge of the case again, and it was determined to be a theft case.
"Oh, is there anything else?" asked Kudo Shinichi.
Mao Lilan's face suddenly turned red, and she stammered, "Also, there's also something about that..."
"That thing?" Conan was a little confused on the other end of the phone.
His intuition told him that what Mao Lilan was going to say next had nothing to do with the case.
What is that thing you are referring to?
