Conan: I won’t clean up my innocence after joining the organization

People often associate the described physical characteristics with people they know first.

After hearing Ai Tanihara's description, James felt a flash of shock.

If nothing else, I just like wearing knitted hats.

Isn't that his subordinate Shuichi Akai?

"What's wrong, sir?" Tanihara Ai looked at him with a slightly puzzled face, and James quickly retracted his emotions.

"It's nothing. When I really meet you, I will definitely tell you what you said. Can I ask for your name?"

"Of course, my name is Midorikawa Hikaru."

Tanihara Ai smiled, and after completing the transmission of the information, he took the person to Baishui Restaurant and left.

It wasn't until half an hour after Ai Tanihara left that Shuichi Akai walked into the restaurant and sat down at the table James had reserved.

The knife and fork in James's hand was cutting the food on the plate, and his whole person looked less peaceful than he had seen at the beginning.

"When we come to Japan, we can't have too many bonds. I think you know that."

"Ah, yes." Akai Shuichi glanced at the person opposite him coldly and echoed his boss's words.

"It's better to treat the mother and daughter well. The child should be less than three months pregnant. It may not be easy without you as the father."

"?" Akai Shuichi cast a confused look after hearing this.

James also put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"This is what your lover Midorikawa Hikaru asked me to bring you."

"?!"

Scotland?

Pregnant?

Or my lover?

Although his mental quality was good, Akai Shuichi couldn't control his expression for a while.

After thinking for a long time, he took out a cigarette with a trembling hand and lit it. The whole process seemed to be at low speed.

"I need to know in detail how you obtained this information."

……

"Make chocolate?" Ai Tanihara responded to Sonoko's call and slapped the man at his feet who was still moaning.

After threatening her with her eyes, Tanihara Ai continued, "I still won't go. I'm not very good at doing this kind of thing."

"There will be teachers to teach us when the time comes. Let's go together. Xiaolan and the others will also go."

[Host host, main line, quick look at the main line]

She originally wanted to refuse but swallowed it back. To appease Zaihua's system, Tanihara Ai still agreed.

"Okay, I'll go find you later."

After hanging up the phone, Ai Tanihara thought back to what Sonoko said about Valentine's Day.

"Sending chocolates?"

Even if I really made it, how should I send it away?

After muttering something, Tanihara Ai raised her foot and crushed the man's foot.

"When I disposed of it, I cut off my tongue."

Very noisy.

Tanihara Ai gave instructions to the people around her before leaving the scene.

The next day, Ai Tanihara came to the Maori Detective Agency and met with several people.

Mouri Kogoro also rented a car to pick up a few people, and then embarked on the journey.

It was only after getting in the car that Yuanzi told everyone about making chocolate.

It was a bit surprising to find out that I was the first person besides Sonoko to know how to make chocolate.

But she was basically in a daze after sitting in the back row.

Without joining the conversation, Ai Tanihara looked down at her hands and kept looking at them quietly without speaking.

Can she really do it?

Use these hands.

Make chocolates that are destined not to be accepted.

｀It’s better not to do it. ｀

It will be awkward to return it intact when the time comes.

I smiled helplessly in my heart, and the idea of ​​making chocolate gradually gave up.

"But, I heard that the chocolate made at Fukito Villa is the most successful in bringing together a couple." Sonoko told her why she went all the way to make chocolate, and winked at Xiaolan.

"Xiao Ai, have you heard of it..."

Thinking of Tanihara Ai who had been silent all this time, Sonoko looked back.

Her voice stopped.

Tanihara Ai's quietness seems to make several people not in the same world.

"Xiao Ai?" Xiao Lan remembered what Tanihara Ai said and called out worriedly, but Tanihara Ai did not respond.

Seeing Tanihara Ai's look, Sonoko lowered her head and thought of Kyogoku Makoto.

Kyogoku hasn't called her recently, and even if he calls her, he only leaves messages.

Even if she tried to make Kyogoku really jealous by saying that she wanted to give her a sweater to the person she liked, she didn't get any reply.

Because they were in a different place, she didn't quite know what the other person was thinking. This feeling of worrying about gains and losses was heart-wrenching.

At this time, this depressed mood also affected Xiaolan, who was originally going to comfort Tanihara Ai.

Since the last time Kudo Shinichi disappeared again, the two have basically only contacted each other by phone.

The person you can't see, the feelings you haven't told yet, and the waiting with no end in sight.

It was breaking her down time and time again.

The three people in the back seat lowered their heads in silence, and the car was extremely quiet for a while.

When Conan turned around without hearing Xiaolan's voice, he saw the melancholy trio.

At that moment, I seemed to see the three people wearing sunglasses before.

I don’t know how they suddenly understood each other so well.

Conan reminded Ai Tanihara with his mouth, but Ai Tanihara never looked at him.

Mouri Kogoro, who was sitting in the driver's seat and driving, suddenly started chatting and talking about the beautiful beach girl he saw recently.

The depressed Xiaolan immediately spoke angrily.

"father!"

Yuanzi also recovered from this situation and said that next time everyone would go to her private beach to play together.

Suddenly leaning against Tanihara Ai, Sonoko held Tanihara Ai's open hands.

"The chocolate made there is magical. Xiao Ai can also try it," Yuanzi smiled, "Only by trying many things can you gain courage."

Tanihara Ai looked back at her, a little dazed.

Seeing that Tanihara Ai finally came to her senses, Sonoko also loosened her grip on Tanihara Ai's hand and clenched her fists to cheer herself up.

"Okay! I must make the chocolate, and then I will confess my love to Ah Zhen!"

His energetic appearance seemed to infect the people around him, breaking the atmosphere just now.

Tanihara Ai smiled softly and echoed.

"I believe in you, come on."

"Xiao Ai, you also want to do it together. If there is someone you like, are they together? If they are not together yet, then there is a chance!"

｀Huh? is that so? ｀Tanihara Ai blinked.

But knowing in advance that someone else likes someone, it's still a bit bad to rush up to them.

Tanihara Ai pursed her lips for a moment.

And she couldn't imagine being with that person.

Just standing next to that person every time was enough for her to muster up all her courage.

together? That could be a dream, right?

Just looking at the encouraging Sonoko and the few people watching nearby, Tanihara Ai still nodded helplessly.

"Yuanzi, Xiaolan."

"Ah?" they both said in unison.

"Then I'll beg you to help me make chocolate later."
