Their conversation was hidden from everyone, and no one except Jiang Chuan Shang noticed that they were arguing.

The tense atmosphere of the murder case lingered in everyone's mind. Under the influence of the plot, even the quick-witted and sharp-minded Hattori Heiji failed to notice it.

He was still thinking about how to solve the case. When he turned around to look at Conan, the argument between Conan and Ran Mouri had already ended with Ran Mouri leaving crying.

This dispute was actually a candid conversation between Mao Li Ran and Kudo Shinichi. Although it seemed to be a unilateral questioning by Mao Li Ran, it was actually Kudo Shinichi's regretful concession.

He regretted making Mao Lilan sad and regretted deceiving her.

But if he could go back in time, he might still choose to hide the truth.

The reason behind this may be the deep love for family and friends.

He wanted to bear everything alone, move forward with a heavy burden, pretend that everything was fine on the surface, and finally appear in front of everyone with a relaxed attitude, as if nothing had happened.

It's just macho heroism.

Jiang Chuan Shang laughed sarcastically and thought with disdain in his heart.

He walked forward slowly and saw that Conan was about to faint, so he reached out his hand.

When Conan was half conscious, he felt a force holding him up.

He tried hard to open his eyes, but the darkness in front of his eyes still did not fade away. He could not see anything clearly. He only felt dizzy and weak all over.

While his mind was blank, he also felt pain spreading throughout his body, as if every cell was burning.

He just felt himself getting hotter and hotter, and more and more uncomfortable. It was the same severe pain as the last time when he became smaller, so familiar that it made him tremble.

In the end, Conan curled himself up into a shrimp.

He wanted to speak but couldn't, his throat felt like it was on fire and the pain was unbearable.

Just when he was in unbearable pain, he smelled a light scent at the tip of his nose, which slightly relieved the annoying pain like the first snow.

It’s not enough, the taste is too light and I still feel pain.

Conan curled up in Jiangchuanshang's arms with his eyes closed.

Hattori Heiji finally noticed their abnormality and strode over. He saw Conan being tightly embraced by Kawakami Tomie.

Seems to be comforting something.

What kind of comfort is this!

Hattori Heiji said venomously, extremely surprised, "Why are you still holding him? Don't you know he is Kudo Shinichi? Do you really treat him like a child?"

Jiangchuankami patted Conan twice, raised his eyes to look at Hattori Heiji, and his clear, cold and quiet voice was very calm.

He praised her in a lukewarm way, "You are much smarter than I thought."

What I mean is, you actually knew Conan’s true identity so quickly.

Hattori Heiji hummed twice like a big black cat, as if accepting the compliment from Egawakami.

"If I can't even guess this, I'm no match for Kudo Shinichi. When Maori Kogoro made the headlines, didn't Kudo ever think that he would be on the headlines too?"

He asked himself and answered, "There's a small section in the newspaper that says Elementary School Student of Death. An elementary school student often appears around murders. Don't you think it's strange? I happened to see this neglected module, and it was easy for me to guess the result."

Originally he had two guesses. One was that Kogoro Mouri asked for help from Shinichi Kudo, and the other was that Shinichi Kudo was around.

Now I just proved my guess, and he turned out to be right.

Egawakami nodded, then handed Conan to Hattori Heiji.

"Hold on tight, I'm going to find someone."

Having said that, Jiang Chuan Shang quickly raised his foot and disappeared into the study.

Hattori Heiji called him repeatedly but he didn't stop.

"Hey, will you just let me hold him?"

"Hey, Tomie Kawakami!"

Unable to stop the man, Hattori Heiji looked down at Conan who seemed to be acting strange.

"Troublemaker."

Because of the murder, the exit of the diplomat's house has been blocked, and people can only enter but not exit.

Mao Lilan ran out crying and should be hiding somewhere now.

Jiang Chuan Shang asked a few people and soon found the hiding place of Mao Lilan.

She was on a balcony, tears still falling.

Jiang Chuan Shang walked up and handed her a handkerchief.

"Don't use toilet paper, it can hurt your eyes."

Mao Lilan paused in wiping her tears, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were red, a little swollen due to the irritation of the tissue.

She looked at the river, which was about to burst its banks again.

"Kawakami... Teacher, why are you here?"

The hiccuping voice asked softly, her tone very cautious.

Jiang Chuan Shang insisted that she take the handkerchief, "I was worried about you, so I came here."

Mao Lilan hesitated for a long time, and finally reached out to take the handkerchief. The small white square handkerchief was made of very soft fabric.

Jiang Chuan Shang then sat down next to her, with a small distance between their shoulders, which was respectful but not offensive.

After considering for a moment, Jiang Chuan Shang directly said, "Do you want to meet Kudo Shinichi?"

The tears that Mao Lilan had just held back suddenly welled up in her eyes. She turned her head away abruptly, not wanting Jiang Chuan Shang to see her in such a miserable state.

She bit her lips hard to stop herself from crying out loud again.

"Teacher Kawakami, what nonsense are you talking about? Conan... Isn't Conan Kudo Shinichi?"

Mao Lilan's tone was filled with resentment, "You and Hattori Heiji already knew that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, didn't you know that?!"

Jiang Chuan Shang continued, he just turned his head gently to look at Mao Lilan, and that gentle look seemed real.

"I want to see Kudo Shinichi in his original form. Do you want to know why he became like this?"

Mao Lilan decisively refused, "I don't want to see you."

"Since he chose to hide it from me, he never considered my feelings. I'm really stupid. I can't use clues like Hattori Heiji to figure out who Conan is. Is Mr. Kawakami disappointed in me..."

"I have had doubts many times, but I didn't think too deeply about it. It was all my fault. I was deceived because of myself..."

Mao Lilan said dejectedly, without any confidence in her words, and she even blamed herself for everything.

Jiang Chuan Shang interrupted her firmly, "I'm not disappointed. Miss Lan is such a kind person, I won't be disappointed."

He used the word "I" alone to tell Mao Lilan that he was really not disappointed.

Hearing his affirmative tone, the tears in Mao Lilan's eyes finally fell down her cheeks, as if a lost person had finally found the guidance of the light.

She wiped it with a handkerchief in panic, choking with sobs, "Teacher Kawakami, how can you be so kind..."

So good that I don’t even want to vent my anger on you.

You obviously know Conan's true identity, but you never told me.

One by one, they are hiding things from me.

But I just can't be angry with you.

I am still too weak and can't make decisive decisions at all. I'm like a joke.

How could Jiang Chuan Shang not know what she was thinking? He was best at guessing people's minds.

In Conan's disguise, Ran Mouri has always been the image of silently waiting for Kudo Shinichi's call. She is in a passive position and will put herself in a very low position.

Isn't this another form of PUA by men on women, and internal friction by girls themselves?

Aren't you blaming yourself now?

Love can easily make people lose themselves and unable to tell whether the other party is sincere or just a hollow cookie.

Jiang Chuan Shang sighed softly. He loved taking in sad souls the most.

He comforted her, moving closer to Mao Lilan, "It's okay, Miss Ran, you can cry out loud, no one will see you."

"..."

Mao Lilan didn't say anything, but continued to cry softly and tremble all over.

She sat sideways, clearly not wanting to talk.

Jiang Chuan Shang stood up and walked to the other side of Mao Lilan, still looking at her with gentle eyes.

He stretched out his arms and said, "Please lend me your shoulder. You can cry here. I will never laugh at you, ever."

Mao Lilan raised her head from her messy hair and looked at the man in front of her who indulged her.

The look in the man's eyes showed nothing but tenderness and doting, nothing else.

Nor does it include a man's affection for a woman.

It is because of this that Mao Lilan truly felt that Jiang Chuan Shang only treated her as a friend and gave her full respect.

For no apparent reason, a feeling of jealousy arises.

Just a friend, Kawakami-sensei.

You brought me close...

With a determined heart, Mao Lilan rushed over, buried her head in Jiangchuanshang's chest and burst into tears.

Her tears were so hot that they instantly wet Jiang Chuanshang's clothes.

Jiang Chuan didn't touch her, his eyes drifting to a figure at the corner.

The figure left in a hurry.
