In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Shortly after they left.

Hideaki Nakajima walked to the front desk, handed over his number, and the receptionist smiled and said:

"Guest number 124, this is for you~"

"Thank you!"

A flicker of excitement crossed Nakajima Hideaki's eyes. He found a secluded corner and prepared to open the briefcase to see what was inside.

Takeshita Hironobu, who had been observing him from a distance, quickly hid behind the wall at the corner, waiting for the explosion. Fortunately, Nakajima Hideaki had chosen a secluded spot where no one else was around, so the explosion wouldn't harm anyone.

however--

After a long time.

However, no explosion was heard.

Takeshita Hironobu cautiously peeked out and saw Nakajima Hideaki with a delighted expression, closing his open briefcase and quickly walking out of the exhibition hall.

???

Takeshita Hironobu couldn't believe it.

It was a specially designed trigger-activated bomb that would explode as soon as the briefcase was opened.

But even though Hideaki Nakajima opened it, why didn't it explode? And the bomb was so obvious; even if it malfunctioned, it would have been discovered by opening the box. Why—?

I was completely baffled.

He touched his pocket and tied it.

He broke out in a cold sweat when he discovered that the number tag that originally belonged to Hideaki Nakajima was missing from his pocket!

Is it some kind of ghost?

Chapter 229 Conan is about to take action

Takeshita Hironobu went to the front desk to inquire.

However, the receptionist serves thousands of guests a day, so how could she possibly remember who took the suitcase?

All she knew was that someone had indeed taken the box.

As for who it is, there's nothing I can do to help.

at this point.

Takeshita Hironobu had no choice but to give up.

All his anxiety throughout the day, his preparation for the bomb to explode at any moment, and his even rehearsing how to get away with it if the police suspected him, was in vain.

But nothing has happened yet.

Hideaki Nakajima is still alive and well.

This psychological gap left him somewhat bewildered.

Did I work for nothing all day?

the other side.

Xia Ye glanced at the briefcase in his inventory that would explode when opened. He was very satisfied with the new game launch event at Full Paradise today, and Xiao Lan had a great time. The date was a success, so he naturally wouldn't let the bomb affect his mood.

So when he changed the brand of the tequila, he also took the brand of Takeshita Hironobu, disguised himself, took out the briefcase, and put it into his inventory.

As for the feud between Takeshita Hironobu and Nakajima Hideaki.

Will Takeshita Hironobu make another move?

That has nothing to do with Xia Ye.

He couldn't be bothered to pay any attention.

Return to the Maori Detective Agency.

Xiaolan kept Xia Ye behind, and she chatted with Kogoro Mouri about random things before eating dinner that Xiaolan had made herself. It was almost seven o'clock.

Seeing that Natsume, Kogoro Mouri, and Ran were having a great time chatting, Conan, who had been itching to wait, finally heard his phone ring. After answering the call, he feigned excitement and said:

"Sister Ran, Professor Agasa said my skateboard needs repair and asked me to go to his house. I won't be back tonight!"

"Well, let's go~"

Ran glanced at Conan, pretending not to notice the slight guilt on his face, and smiled as she said:

Go to bed early tonight, don't stay up late!

"Know it!"

Conan obediently agreed, his heart pounding with excitement at the prospect of facing the Black Organization, and he ran out of the Mouri Detective Agency clutching his skateboard.

"Well then, we're going back too~"

Xia Ye took Xiao Lan's slender hand and stood up to say goodbye to Kogoro Mouri, as they still had things to do.

"and many more!"

Kogoro Mouri suddenly became alert, his eyes fixed on their clasped hands, and he asked suspiciously:

"It's so late, you're not planning to go somewhere weird or do something weird, are you? No way! Xiaolan is still too young, that's too early!"

Kogoro Mouri 700 is a pervert himself, so of course he knows how attractive his daughter Ran is to men. If that bastard Natsume were to make a move on her now, Ran might not even graduate high school before he's already holding his grandson!

"father!"

"what are you talking about!"

Ran blushed instantly and glared at Xia Ye with a look that was both reproachful and resentful. If it weren't for the fact that she had to teach Conan a lesson tonight, this guy might really have—humph, he has VIP access to most of the hotels and inns in Tokyo!

Kogoro Mouri's face darkened.

Xiao Lan's shy appearance made him feel that things were going even worse. This silly girl was so easy to take advantage of, wouldn't Xia Ye just have to beckon her and get his way?

"Cough cough!"

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri was looking at her like she was a class enemy, and was practically about to break them up, Xia Ye quickly smiled and reassured her:

"Don't worry, Uncle Mori, Ran and I have feelings for each other but keep to a proper distance. It's definitely not like what you're imagining!"

Hear this.

Xiao Lan immediately rolled her eyes cutely.

That scoundrel just lies through his teeth.

Even when emotions are expressed, they must be restrained by propriety!

What does this guy, who's such a pervert, have to do with this?

Who was that scoundrel who was making unwanted advances in the woods?

hum!

Xiaolan admired her boyfriend's shamelessness.

They don't even bother to think before they lie.

but--

I can't expose him in front of my dad now, otherwise, given his sour fatherly attitude, he probably won't let me leave!

"really?"

Kogoro Mouri still didn't believe it.

With his "keen" intuition, he knew that his daughter and that rascal Xia Ye had definitely been up to something for the past few nights, and that they would never obediently come home!

It's true!

Xiao Lan finally chimed in, out of desperation:

"It's still early. I'm going to go play with Ai for a while, and then go home. I'll have my mom pick me up. Is that okay?"

"Hmm, that's good~"

Kogoro Mouri nodded. Eri was much stricter with Ran than he was, and she definitely wouldn't allow her to stay out all night, so he could rest assured.

"You go ahead!"

"Okay, goodbye Dad!"

"Goodbye, Uncle Mori~"

Stepping out of the Mouri Detective Agency, Ran's beautiful eyes held a complex expression. She felt relieved when she mentioned her mother and father, knowing her mother was strict with her and boys. However—

The current version has been updated.

My mother herself has gone off to do bad things with some scoundrel in a dark corner, so what right does she have to care about her own daughter? Hmph, it's all Xia Ye's fault. What kind of person is he? He likes every woman he meets, regardless of her status!

"Snapped--!"

As Xiaolan was mentally berating her sweetheart, the already dimly lit stairwell suddenly went dark.

Looking up, I saw Xia Ye with one hand on the wall, giving me a "wall slam" where we could feel each other's breath.

He was looking down at himself. Although the backlighting made it hard to see his expression, he was undoubtedly wearing a wicked grin, perhaps even a rather lewd one. He wasn't unfamiliar with this kind of situation, but—

"What do you want to do?"

Xiaolan nervously glanced around, her voice barely audible. She and Xia Ye were just a step away from the agency's door, and her father was watching Yoko Okino's variety show on the sofa less than three meters away. He could leave at any moment—

Even if he doesn't go out, he might be able to hear any noise here, even if it's a little loud.

"What do you say?"

Xia Yexing's eyes blazed like fire as he gently lifted Xiao Lan's smooth, adorable chin. His handsome face indeed bore the mischievous smile Xiao Lan was familiar with. He whispered:

"Xiao Lan, don't you think this kind of environment—"

He didn't finish speaking, but since Xiaolan chatted with Yukiko, who was always making lewd remarks, she naturally understood what Xia Ye meant very quickly.

Her light blue eyes rippled instantly, and Xiaolan bit her lip. This instant understanding made her feel a little ashamed, but even in a place where her father could discover her at any moment, she was actually looking forward to what was about to happen.

really.

Mom is right.

The more I hang out with Yukiko-neechan, the thicker my skin becomes, and I start acting strangely. My persona was supposed to be a youthful and beautiful girl, but now I've turned into a slutty and effeminate girl!

This is still a comic book world, and the female lead has turned out like this. Doesn't that count as a character breakdown?

but--

Xiao Lan gave a soft hum, stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Xia Ye's neck, her pretty face getting closer and closer to him as he looked on in surprise.

At the final contact.

A smug look appeared in Xiaolan's beautiful eyes. Since she had already fallen from the pure white angel that Xia Ye had described to what she was now, she might as well stop pretending. There was nothing wrong with learning from Yukiko-neechan!

only--

My mom will definitely scold me if she finds out!

He said he learned bad habits from Yukiko!

never mind!

Xiao Lan tightened her arms, a rebellious thought running through her mind. "Hmph, who cares? She'll be like this sooner or later anyway, so what right does she have to control me?"

If you have wine today, you will be drunk today.

Maybe then we'll need to—

Pooh!

A blush crept into Xiaolan's beautiful eyes. "I'm so shameless," she thought, "how could I have such a shameful thought? It's—"

I can't think about it anymore!

Thinking about it any further would violate moral ethics!

...

the other side.

Conan finally arrived at Professor Agasa's house before his skateboard battery ran out. At the door of Professor Agasa's house, he looked at his own house, which was completely dark inside with no lights on. His mother wasn't home.
