On the possibility of Gin's younger brother taking his older brother away

Chapter 39 Active Attack

Even if he had this idea, he couldn't approach rashly.

Since M only transmitted the main storyline to him, he knew nothing about the rest of the content.

Now there's another tricky thing.

Chihara Aki has never paid attention to Conan's whereabouts and has no idea about his current condition.

Because the world will complete daily life outside the plot, he cannot guess what Conan is doing now since Haibara Ai was discovered by Pisco.

There is a lack of non-main storylines and Conan's whereabouts are unknown.

The lack of information made it difficult for him to take his next action. Without a target, he could only search the place where Conan was most likely to appear.

Chihara Aki plans to go to the Mori Detective Agency first to find out the truth.

The weather was great, so great that it jumped directly from the cold winter to the hot summer, and the timeline was so confusing that it made no sense.

Qian Yuanqiu had observed other people before. Faced with such a strange season change, they did not feel any discomfort at all and changed their clothes naturally.

Perhaps because he is aware of the 'world', his body is no longer applicable to the rules of this world, and Chihara Aki often catches a cold due to abnormal seasons.

So, at least in the apartment, he always keeps the room temperature at the most stable and comfortable temperature, and changes into seasonal clothes according to the weather forecast for the day. The frequency of catching colds has been reduced a lot.

When we arrived near the office, it was just the time for the elementary school to get out of school, and there were many little kids walking together along the way.

Chihara Aki was searching for Conan and his followers.

At this moment, a flyer suddenly appeared in the field of vision.

"Sir, would you like to try our new summer products?"

Seeing the young man taking the flyer, Azusa Enomoto diligently introduced the products on the flyer.

Chihara Aki followed the girl's gesture and looked into the store. There were only two customers inside. He looked up and confirmed the name of the store - Polo Café, which was where Bourbon would work in the future.

The store was located downstairs from the Mori Detective Agency, and the people in the store looked familiar. Chihara Aki changed her mind and walked towards Poirot.

The sound of someone entering the door caught the attention of two customers.

"Lan, look, it's the handsome guy from the last auction."

Suzuki Sonoko nudged Mouri Ran with her elbow and whispered something, hoping to distract her.

Ever since that kid was injured and hospitalized, Xiaolan has been behaving strangely. She often looks at Conan's bed with a worried look on her face. I heard from the uncle that she hasn't had a rest for several days.

If I hadn't pulled her out to get some fresh air, she would have sat in that ward stupidly for another whole day.

Seeing that Mouri Ran still had her head down and did not respond, Suzuki Sonoko lay on the table and looked at her worriedly.

Although Mao Lilan was not in the mood, she knew that her friend was concerned about her. She raised her head and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Sonoko, I made you worry. I'm much better now."

"Lan..." Suzuki Sonoko clenched the doll in her hands under the table, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Azusa Enomoto led Chihara Aki to her seat, holding the menu and asking, "What would you like to order?"

"Sorry, this is my first time here, anything you recommend?"

Today, Chihara Akira was not wearing all black. His semi-long hair was tied into a low ponytail, and the simple white short T-shirt added a bit of vitality. He looked up and smiled gently at Enomoto Azusa, giving people a transparent and clean feeling.

This was completely different from the indifference that Enomoto Azusa had shown when she stopped him. This stunned her for a moment, but she quickly reacted and put on a business smile.

"Ah...then I'd like to recommend our new product, the Lime Monroe Parfait. The customer next to me ordered this."

Chihara Aki followed Enomoto Azusa's gesture and glanced at the parfait at the next table, then folded the menu and handed it to Enomoto Azusa: "Then I'll have a lime parfait, thank you."

"OK, just a second."

After Enomoto Azusa left, Chihara Aki turned her head and met Suzuki Sonoko's eyes.

"Hello."

He took the initiative to greet them, looked around and asked casually, "Why don't I see that kid?"

When Mao Lilan heard this, she turned her head and looked over.

Because Conan had paid close attention to this person when he attended the auction before and had some impression of him, she politely replied: "Conan...is injured and is recuperating in the hospital."

"I'm so sorry, is he okay?" Qian Yuanqiu asked immediately with concern.

"It's okay, you're not in danger now and will be discharged from the hospital soon." Mao Lilan said politely, trying to cheer herself up.

"That's great."

It’s not dangerous now, which means it was dangerous before?

He didn't know whether Conan was injured in the plot outside the main storyline, but Chihara Akira could only think of one person whose situation in the main storyline was so dangerous that he had to be hospitalized.

He asked tentatively, "Your school uniforms look like those of Teitan High School. My cousin's uniform is the same as yours."

"Yes." Mao Lilan didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence and answered in confusion.

"Speaking of which, she has been leaving home early and coming back late late recently. When she comes back, she hides in her room and fiddles with something. The 'ding ding dong dong' noise gives uncle and aunt a headache. They are worried that she will learn bad things."

Chihara Aki pretends to be a distressed brother and confides in him.

"Oh, no, no."

The kindhearted Suzuki Sonoko couldn't bear to see others being wrongly accused. "Our school is going to hold a school festival soon. She must be preparing something to perform."

"The school festival, I see. When does it start? My cousin is in her rebellious phase lately and doesn't say anything. As her older brother, I still hope to be able to attend."

Chihara Aki's expression was well controlled, and this matter was not a secret.

Suzuki Sonoko said simply, "It's three days later. Maybe your cousin will invite the family to visit. We have been secretly preparing for it these days."

"Thank you so much. I'll be looking forward to it."

At this time, Azusa Enomoto came over with dessert, and Chihara Aki took the opportunity to end the conversation and concentrate on enjoying the meal.

Lime Monroe Parfait is worthy of being a new summer product. The blue-green hue is most suitable for hot summer. The refreshing feeling that comes to your face is refreshing. The sweet and sour jam is mixed with the coolness of mint. The chewy and crispy beads add to the taste, mixed with the sweetness of cream, which is irresistible.

Looking at the young man immersed in the food, Enomoto Azusa continued to promote outside the store with a sense of pride. Suzuki Sonoko was embarrassed to disturb others' meals, so she turned to ask Mouri Ran about Conan's current injury.

Qian Yuanqiu did not forget why he came here. He tried two things at once and listened to the conversation between the two people next door.

Not only did I get the information I wanted, but I also ate delicious desserts. It was a very fruitful experience.

Watching the young man gradually disappear on the street, Suzuki Sonoko withdrew her gaze and said with emotion: "Ah, what a good brother."

"Garden..."

Mao Lilan was interrupted by this episode, and her annoyance was relieved a lot. Although there are some things that cannot be said, it is enough to have Sonoko by her side.

"Here you go, I got this from the claw machine."

Suzuki Sonoko showed the doll she had been holding in her hand and said sincerely: "Lan, you should be happy. I am here for you."
