Conan: I want to grow up with Ai after becoming smaller

Time soon came to night, at the lookout restaurant in the Mihua Central Building.

According to Ai's speculation, Kudo Shinichi is likely to become smaller tonight.

Kudo Shinichi wants to confront Xiaolan before he becomes smaller, so he makes an appointment to meet here.

There are many parameters that need to be recorded in this shrinking process, and these parameters are very helpful in finding the correct antidote sequence, so Lin Yuan and Xiao Ai came here together.

It's still early and Xiaolan hasn't arrived yet.

Lin Yuan skillfully found an empty seat, pulled out the chair, and gestured for Xiao Ai to sit down with a smile.

Then he sat opposite Ai and picked up the menu.

Kudo Shinichi pulled out the chair next to Ai and was about to sit down when he heard Hayashihara's voice.

"Go away, is that where you can sit?" Lin Yuan interrupted immediately.

"Is it necessary?" Kudo Shinichi said helplessly, and then prepared to sit next to Hayashi Yuan.

He didn't think too much about it, he just thought it would be convenient to talk sitting opposite Lin Yuan.

"It's necessary!" Lin Yuanshen nodded in agreement, then ordered the steak set on the menu and handed the menu to Kudo Shinichi, "Three steak sets, thank you!"

Kudo Shinichi was immediately stunned and took the menu mechanically, "Do you think I'm a waiter?"

"That's not true! You are the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era. Who would treat you as a waiter?" Lin Yuan laughed and added, "Remember to pay the bill! Remember to replace the red wine with juice! Remember to pack up a steak. I will eat it while lying down when I get back!"

"That's right!" Kudo Shin nodded and was about to leave when he realized, "No, why should I pay for your meal?"

"What can I say to you?" Lin Yuan shook his head, looking disappointed and said, "Why should I come here to eat?"

"Isn't it to record your data of becoming smaller so that I can help you research the antidote?"

"What do you call this? This is called spending your money and doing your thing!"

Hearing this, Kudo Shin nodded, then shook his head, "No, if we find an antidote, won't you guys have to take it too?"

"Ai and I have both become smaller, so it doesn't matter whether there is an antidote or not. But it's different for you. Do you think Xiaolan can wait for you for ten years?" Lin Yuan shrugged and said indifferently.

Kudo Shinichi began to think, and a gleam of wisdom flashed in his eyes.

Although there is some truth in what he said, I still feel like I have been fooled.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled and continued, "Besides, how much money do your parents have? Can they spend it all in this lifetime?"

"I'm telling you, if you don't spend this money yourself, it's not money. Instead of letting your parents squander it all, why not let me help you spend some of it."

"I'm helping you because we're friends. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't do you this favor!"

The corner of Kudo Shinichi's mouth twitched. This guy was eating and drinking for free and yet he still talked about so many great principles. If he couldn't beat him, he would have turned against him long ago!

Xiao Ai looked at this scene and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

……

With the arrival of Xiaolan, Kudo Shinichi forgot what had just happened and took Xiaolan to sit in a new seat.

As the saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Although the distance was only a dozen meters, Xiaolan didn't even see Hayashibara and Ai. Her eyes were full of Kudo Shinichi.

"Tell me, can Kudo speak out what's in your heart today?"

"I think it's uncertain. They are both such tsunderes! And they are so conflicted!"

"I think today will go pretty smoothly!"

"I hope so! Sister Xiaolan has been waiting for so long!"

Lin Yuan and Xiao Ai were chatting idly, and looking at the two people not far away, the atmosphere was indescribably weird.

It's always one person talking, and the other takes a long time to reply.

Xiao Ai took a sip of juice, and a beautiful curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Fortunately, I was brave enough to take that step.

……

"By the way, why did you call me over here? What do you want to say?" Xiaolan asked expectantly.

"I think... I want to say yes..." Looking at Xiaolan who was so close to him, Kudo Shinichi blushed rarely and turned his head away, not knowing how to answer.

When he met Xiaolan's expectant eyes, his heart trembled. He didn't want to disappoint her again.

"What I want to say is..." At the critical moment, his tsundere personality took over and the words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

Kudo Shinichi took a deep breath and tried hard to overcome the awkwardness in his heart, but his body seemed to be fixed and unable to move.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he was trying hard to utter those words, but ultimately failed.

"Sorry to bother you, your food is ready. Enjoy your meal!"

The waiter's voice made Kudo Shinichi breathe a sigh of relief, and he felt relaxed all over.

Then he told Xiaolan the story of Sherlock Holmes that he was familiar with.

The stories of Sherlock Holmes are very interesting, but Kudo Shinichi is not good at telling stories.

Just like when he handled a case, he focused on all kinds of trivial details and completely ignored the interest of the story.

Lin Yuan was eavesdropping not far away and felt that it was like an old lady's foot binding, smelly and long.

After listening to the whole story of Sherlock Holmes, Xiaolan exclaimed: "Oh! He can solve the case with just a few clues. Sherlock Holmes is really amazing!"

Then he leaned forward again and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to say?"

"Well... let me think about it!" Kudo Shinichi once again avoided the question and gave an irrelevant answer.

Xiaolan lowered her head and sighed, "I can't stand it. If you are really a man, just make it clear now!"

"If you want to borrow my recent notes, just tell me!"

"Uh..." Kudo Shinichi was so shocked by Xiaolan's imagination that he was speechless.

"Isn't that right? I even photocopied my notes and brought them with me!"

Xiaolan said this while searching for the documents in the handbag she was carrying.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Kudo Shinichi blurted out, which made Xiaolan stunned and her hands stopped searching for information.

"Actually...actually, I specifically asked you to come out for dinner...because I wanted to make something clear..."

"Actually... that is..."

Kudo Shinichi repeated a few sentences over and over again, stammering, but he just couldn't get to the point.

"Ah~!"

A scream was heard not far away, which made Kudo Shinichi breathe a sigh of relief again.

Just as he was about to go over to check out the situation, he met Xiaolan's slightly disappointed eyes. His body seemed to have lost all its strength and he collapsed to the ground.

"It's terrible. I heard someone died in the elevator!"

"Did you call the police?"

"It looks like a pistol!"

There was a whisper in the restaurant. Ran looked around and finally fixed her eyes on Kudo Shinichi's obviously uneasy face.

"Don't be so stubborn. You're obviously worried about the murder case, but you don't say it out loud!"

"I'm not like so-and-so, staying here. You'd better go quickly, great detective!"

Kudo Shinichi looked apologetic, and after regaining his strength, he immediately stood up: "Sorry, I'll be right back!"

Xiaolan held her cheek and looked at Kudo Shinichi's back as he left, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Disappointed? Or looking forward? I guess I've gotten used to it!

Lin Yuan sighed, this CP is so tiring!

"Xiao Ai, I'll go for a while and be back soon."

"Do you need my help?"

"No need, I can solve this kind of small case in ten minutes!"

Hayashihara quickly stood up and stopped Kudo Shinichi, who had not yet arrived at the crime scene.

"Are you planning to abandon Sister Xiaolan like this?"

Kudo Shinichi's face was full of confusion, "I...I will definitely solve the case as soon as possible!"

"Really?" Lin Yuan smiled playfully. "Xiao Ai speculated that the antidote might lose its effect within an hour. Are you sure you can solve it within an hour?"

"I..." Kudo Shinichi was speechless, but his body still honestly walked towards the crime scene step by step. After a few steps, he finally stopped.

Lin Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the situation was not hopeless.

"You go back first, leave the case to me!"

"When I come back, if you haven't said what you want to say, I will deprive you of the title of Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era!"

Lin Yuan waved his hand and walked forward.

……

Ten minutes later, Lin Yuan returned to the restaurant and saw Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan talking harmoniously. He asked curiously, "Xiao Ai, what's going on?"

"I don't have your abnormal hearing, how do I know what's going on now?" Xiao Ai looked curious, "But you solved the case in ten minutes?"

"Of course, it's just a simple proof question!" Lin Yuan looked relaxed.

"Proof question?"

"There is only one suspect. Find evidence to prove that he is the murderer!"

"It shouldn't be that fast!" Ai looked like a curious baby.

"Who am I? I'm the famous detective who's known for solving cases solely based on my intuition!"

"As soon as I arrived at the scene, I knew who the murderer was. The only problem was that the victim died of gunshot and there was no gun smoke reaction detected on the murderer."

Xiao Ai immediately speculated: "The murderer used something to wrap the pistol and shoot, or changed his clothes after shooting, so you found what the murderer changed?"

"Huh!" Lin Yuan shook his head. "How could I use such a simple method!"

"I just called the murderer to a deserted place and shot him, so there would be a gun smoke reaction!"

After saying that, he made a shooting gesture with his hands towards Xiao Ai and blew on his fingertips.

Xiao Ai covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "You are just a bad guy! Aren't you afraid that the police will detect the reaction of gunpowder smoke in your body and arrest you."

"I'm just a child. How could a child do such a thing?"

Lin Yuan blinked at Xiao Ai, and his expression was as innocent as it could be.

……

The conversation between Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan is coming to an end, and Hayashihara has no idea what happened in between.

Suddenly, Kudo Shinichi covered his chest, suppressed the discomfort, and walked towards the bathroom. Xiaolan stayed where she was, with a happy smile on her face.

Lin Yuan and Xiao Ai looked at each other, nodded, put on their backpacks and followed behind.

As expected, Kudo Shinichi had already fallen on the floor of the bathroom. Ai immediately walked over and drew a tube of blood.

A moment later, Kudo Shinichi turned into Conan, and Ai drew another tube of blood.

Lin Yuan looked a little scared. He took one shot yesterday and two shots today. Conan is really strong!

After Conan woke up, Hayashihara left his old clothes behind and left with Ai.

Test your blood promptly while it is still fresh.

Dr. Agasa had been waiting downstairs, and the price was a package of steak.

……

"Hey! Have you heard? It seems that the case has been solved!"

“I heard that it was a little kid who solved it!”

"Really? That's really amazing!"

"Child?" Xiaolan's originally relaxed face became tense again when she heard the whispers of the people around her.

"Could it be Conan?"

Thinking back to my previous doubts and what happened in the past two days.

Now that Kudo Shinichi is back, Conan has become very strange, not like his old self at all.

"Sister Xiaolan!"

At this time, Conan ran over waving his hand.

In a trance, Xiaolan seemed to see what Kudo Shinichi looked like when he called her Sister Xiaolan during the day.

The two figures overlapped and became more and more alike.

"But... why..."

Xiaolan lowered her head, her eyes a little wet.

"Someone just called Shinichi-nii's cell phone. It seemed like there was a problem with the case he was handling. After he picked up the phone, he..."

Conan was talking to himself, but noticed the tears in Xiaolan's eyes and didn't know how to continue.

Xiaolan suddenly burst into laughter, "Shin... Conan, let's eat together!"

He must have his reasons, and he has said that...
