In Conan, I have become smaller no matter what

Maple Leaf entered the bedroom. The furnishings inside had not changed, and a thin layer of dust had fallen on the workbench.

It seems that Asai Makoto has never touched his things, so he is somewhat discerning.

After packing the things in the suitcase, Maple Leaf exchanged a few words with Asai Honest, left the card and exchanged phone numbers with Asai Honest before leaving the apartment.

When they returned to the office, except for Conan who was still dragging his feet with a black eye, Uncle and Xiaolan had already changed their clothes and were waiting.

Xiaolan saw Maple Leaf coming in and asked, "Maple Leaf, where have you been? Hey! What's the box in your hand?"

Maple Leaf picked up the suitcase and explained, "Because I have to go out, I just went to the mall to buy it. It is convenient for holding drawing boards and other things."

"Forehead……"

Xiaolan was confused for a moment, and then said helplessly, "We are going out for a visit, so we can do the painting at home!"

My brother is good at everything, but he is too busy. He always thinks about how to work wherever he goes.

Maple Leaf said nonsensically, "It's just because I went to visit that I brought a drawing board with me so that I can draw all the beautiful jewelry."

"Okay... okay!"

Knowing that Xiaolan couldn't be persuaded, she gave up.

After Conan finished tidying up, the group took the uncle's rented car to the Rice Krispies Museum.

After getting in the car, Conan, who was sitting in the back seat with Maple Leaf, asked in a low voice, "Hey! Do you have any idea about this code?"

"No! I'm not interested in solving the code."

After saying that, he ignored Conan's resentful eyes and turned his head to his side, closing his eyes to rest.

This kid's muttering last night kept him from sleeping well, and now he had the nerve to ask him for the password.

Uncle Maori would look at the maple leaves through the rearview mirror from time to time.

He was obviously the one doing business, so why did Maple Leaf look more formal than him.

No, we can't let this kid compete.

Almost all the people who can be seen coming and going in front of the Rice Krispies Museum are policemen. There are also several helicopters hovering in the sky. It is estimated that half of the entire Tokyo police force is here.

The uncle who got off the car was a little shocked. Is it such a big battle to catch a thief?

Xiaolan also sighed, "He really deserves to be a world-famous super thief!"

Several people entered the museum, and Suzuki Shiro, the head of the Suzuki Foundation, walked over with his daughter Suzuki Sonoko.

"Detective Maori, I really welcome your visit!"

He walked up to a few people, shook hands with the uncle, and said, "Thank you so much for your willingness to accept my little girl's unreasonable request and come here!"

"We are so lucky to have this famous detective like you here. It's up to you today, Detective Maori."

When Uncle Maori heard the praise, he became arrogant and said, "Don't worry, he is just a little thief. I, Kogoro Maori, can catch him in two or three strokes."

Maple Leaf observed the head of this top financial group. He was calm and easy-going, well-spoken, and looked very approachable.

To be honest, the uncle's class is indeed not good enough, but he is still treated as an equal and even uses honorifics.

Although Sonoko Suzuki may be involved, it is not easy to control such a large consortium.

After the two chatted for a while, Suzuki Shiro took a few people to visit the "Pitch Black Star", the gemstone to be protected.

After that, Uncle Maori was called away to discuss the battle plan with the police present, leaving Yuanzi to accompany the three Maple Leafs.

As soon as Suzuki Shiro left the garden, he became carefree again. He looked at Maple Leaf and said in surprise, "Hey! Xiaolan, is this your smart and sensible brother?"

Xiaolan said proudly, "Yes! Isn't it cute?"

Maple Leaf nimbly avoided Yuanzi's hand that wanted to pinch her face and said hello, "Hello, Sister Yuanzi! My name is Maori Maple Leaf. Please give me your advice."

"Hello little Maple Leaf! My name is Suzuki Sonoko, and I'm your sister's best friend."

Yuanzi responded, then touched her chin and thought, "Maple leaves are indeed cute, but sister, I will wait for you for up to ten years!"

Maple Leaf: "..."

This statement was met with a unanimous glare from everyone. You should have a limit to your nymphomaniac, okay?

Xiaolan was speechless and said, "Yuanzi..."

"Okay, okay! Just kidding!"

Yuanzi waved her hands, and then said excitedly, "But it's so genius! I really love listening to those songs he wrote, especially "Missmystery", it's really great!"

"By the way! Why haven't I seen you writing new songs recently?"

Maple Leaf explained, “Because I’m busy drawing comics and I don’t have much inspiration.”

It's not that he doesn't want to copy. If he keeps copying songs, he will attract attention. After all, it's strange that a child with no hair can write so many songs.

This thing has to be done step by step.

Yuanzi was a little surprised and said, "Comic? Can you show me what kind?"

Xiaolan also said from the side, "We haven't seen it yet!"

Maple Leaf had been busy drawing comics all day but never showed them to them, which had made her curious for a long time.

Could it be that I didn't show it because I drew something forbidden?

But my brother should not be so dirty.

"There are still some details that haven't been drawn yet, and I haven't found a good publisher yet, so I won't show them out for shame!"

The manuscript he had submitted once before was rejected, but he was still very confident about "Inuyasha".

It was the first time that Xiaolan and the others wanted to see how much they had not finished drawing yet, and the rest of it was purely due to laziness.

Hearing Maple Leaf say this, Yuanzi immediately patted her chest and promised, "This is nothing! The affairs of the publishing house will be taken care of by this young lady."

"Then thank you Sister Yuanzi!"

Maple Leaf immediately agreed. Look, this is an opportunity.

Yuanzi glanced at the half-moon-eyed Conan, and said a little speechlessly, "Why did this little brat come with you?"

People are most afraid of comparisons. After seeing Maple Leaf who had always been quiet, Yuanzi felt that Conan, a kid who was jumping up and down all day, was even more annoying.

Conan complained in his mind, "Sonoko is a bastard..." and then continued to think about the secret code recorded in the letter.

They chatted for a while before Yuanzi asked, "Xiaolan! Have you had dinner?"

Xiaolan nodded and said, "We've already eaten it at home! By the way, it's made from Maple Leaf!"

When Yuanzi heard that Maple Leaf could cook, she immediately said with envy, "I really want a brother like this!"

Eat something? Conan, who was thinking about the secret code, suddenly had an idea in his mind when he heard about eating, and hurried to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Xiaolan noticed that Conan suddenly ran away and followed him. She looked at Conan who was playing with his watch and asked, "What are you doing, Conan?"

Conan said casually, "I will use the watch to determine the direction! First, point the hour hand of the watch at the sun. Because Japan is in the northern hemisphere, the angle between the hour hand on the surface and twelve o'clock is the direction of true south."

"Forehead……"

Conan, who had just reacted, was at a loss for words for a moment, and then said, "It's nothing! In fact, I just tried the method that brother Shinichi taught me!"

Looking at Conan's somewhat reflective glasses, Maple Leaf knew that this kid must have unlocked the code, and he would have to find a chance to ask later.
