A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 162 Congratulations on making the headlines

Xiaolan in the Wangwang restaurant is still sitting on her seat waiting for Shinichi's return, but the joy in her eyes has gradually dissipated, leaving only a trace of anticipation.

"He won't leave me again"

In fact, Noah had already arrived at the door, but he didn't know how to speak, so he didn't dare to come in rashly. This kind of situation is not handled well, and even friends don't have to do it.

...Hey, who let me take your meal? After brewing a good mood, Noah bit the bullet and came to Xiaolan.

"Xiaolan, I'm back."

Xiaolan, who was looking out the window in a daze, suddenly turned her head, stood up, and looked at Shinichi who had lost and returned with surprise, a little light appeared in her eyes.

"Xinyi, are you okay? Why have you been away for so long? Noah and Huibara also came just now, but I don't know where they are now."

"I saw them when I went upstairs just now, and said that I needed to go home urgently, and asked me to say sorry to you, I didn't have time to say goodbye."

Xiaolan didn't doubt the authenticity of Xinyi's words, she was surrounded by happiness now, as long as he was there, everything would be fine.

"We should go back too, we still have class tomorrow."

"Uh-huh."

When Xiaolan put her arms on Noah's body, Noah's body was a little stiff, and he said silently, sin, sin.

It wasn't until she walked out of the restaurant that Xiaolan belatedly said that they hadn't settled the bill yet.

"Just now Noah said that he had settled the bill, saying that it was to celebrate the two of us meeting again."

"Then we will thank Noah tomorrow, he is really a trustworthy friend."

... I feel the same way.

"jingle bell, jingle bell"

The phone rang suddenly, it was Hui Yuan urging himself, Noah took out the phone directly, pretending to be puzzled.

"Hey, this is not my phone."

"This one seems to belong to Noah, why is it here with you?"

"I remembered, I borrowed Noah's mobile phone to reserve a seat this afternoon, and it seemed to be put in my pocket."

Acting has to be a full set, Noah patted his forehead pretending to be annoyed, with an innocent face.

"Xiaolan, you go home first, I'll take it to Noah, in case he needs a mobile phone for something urgent, it will be troublesome."

Before Xiaolan could speak, he reached out his hand to stop a passing taxi, and the driver opened the door for Xiaolan with great insight.

…I don’t know if Xiaolan was moved by the enthusiastic service of the taxi driver, or if she was too embarrassed to refuse, Xiaolan obediently got into the car and told Noah to be careful on the road.

"call"

Watching the taxi leave quickly, Noah wiped the cold sweat from his brow, this acting is really tiring, and he won't do anything in the future.

"Hey, look at your face is still reminiscing, is it very comfortable to hug you?"

Hearing this yin and yang voice, Noah turned his head and punched him. He helped you so much. It's okay if you don't know thank you. What are you talking about here?

In fact, not long after Noah left, Conan had already woken up. He was quite happy when Haibara said that Noah pretended to be himself to appease Xiaolan in order to help him.

But just now when I saw Xiao Lan hugging Noah's arm, the vinegar jar attribute flared up again, and she complained angrily, but unexpectedly received a heavy hammer.

"You can deal with the rest by yourself, don't bother me with calls."

Noah and Haibara left, leaving Conan with a worried face, trying to find a way to lie again.

……

"Did you feel comfortable just now?"

"what??"

"When Xiaolan hugged you, didn't she feel very comfortable?"

... Why do children have this kind of virtue nowadays, can it still be contagious?

"What are you thinking? As a friend of Kudo, I am obliged to help. Besides, there is a saying in China that a friend's wife should not be bullied. I respect tradition very much."

Haibara didn't believe Noah's nonsense, and the words in Hundan's mouth couldn't tell the truth from the false, but seeing Noah's swearing appearance, he decided to believe him for once.

……

After returning home, Conan finally knew why Noah finally said not to call him. It cost 300 million for a meal, and the most important thing is that he didn't eat a bite.

Just now his father called to ask if something happened, why he was willing to use the gold card, but Conan prevaricated, he was afraid that he would be annoyed to death by his parents if he said that he had eaten a meal for 300 million.

He called aggressively and wanted to argue with Noah, but was hung up by the other party directly, and he called again, but still hung up.

Conan, who couldn't get through, didn't give up. After trying a few more times, he finally heard the notification sound from the phone that the number you dialed has been turned off.

"This soul is weak, no wonder you are willing to help me, thanks to the fact that I am still so grateful to you in my heart, bah."

Waking up the next day, Conan, who is used to reading newspapers, turned pale when he saw the front page of the latest issue of Entertainment Gossip.

"Why did the high school student detective break into the women's bathroom late at night? Is it a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?"

This title gave me Conan the urge to hack Noah to death with a knife, because the photo above is of himself, Kudo Shinichi, although there is only a back view.

……

"As expected of a detective, he's on the news again, and his reputation has soared!"

Conan's face is very ugly now, he was teased by Haibara when he first entered the class, obviously the other party also saw the news, which means that Xiaolan probably saw it now.

Facts have proved that Conan's thinking is completely correct. Xiaolan has indeed known, and even the entire Teidan High School has known about the famous detective Kudo Shinichi breaking into the women's bathroom late at night.

"Xiaolan, didn't you go to the Wangwang restaurant for dinner with Kudo yesterday? Is the person in the newspaper really Kudo?"

Xiaolan has heard this question dozens of times, and everyone wants to know if the detective in this case is Kudo Shinichi.

But how could Xiaolan know, she didn't even have time to ask, so she just shook her head and refused, which made them make up the picture even more, Xiaolan didn't want to answer if the facts were true.

Noah really didn't expect that an accident last night would have such a big impact, and it is estimated that this turmoil will not be suppressed for a while. Fortunately, Conan can't come to school now, otherwise it will be even more popular.

"Noah, did you see Shinichi go to the women's restroom yesterday?"

The three became tigers, and more and more people asked, which gradually shook Xiaolan's originally firm heart, and she also began to doubt.

"I don't know, I only met Kudo when I went home yesterday, and then I met him again when he went to deliver the mobile phone, and I don't know the rest."

Xiao Lan returned to her seat with some hesitation, thinking about the authenticity of this matter alone.

……

"Noah, what the hell did you do with my disguise yesterday?"

"What are you yelling, you still have to thank me, you don't even know how popular you are in school now, everyone knows it."

... Conan on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say, and this confident answer choked back what he wanted to say.

The reputation he had accumulated in school was completely ruined now, and he was no longer the most beautiful boy in that school.

"It is very likely that people from the black organization will know that I am not dead, and that will be troublesome."

"It should be all right. Besides, it's just a back view. There are too many high school detectives. Who knows it's you."

"Hopefully."

It's a pity that the wishes of the two are doomed to fail, and the organization is not closed to news.

In the dim bar, a woman with long blond hair was admiring Shinichi's back in the newspaper.

"Hehehe, it really looks like him."

……

new family

Conan is chatting with Xiaolan in the form of Kudo Shinichi, telling her that he still has things to do next, and he can't go back to school for the time being.

"Then today's newspaper is true, did you really go to the women's bathroom yesterday?"

"I had to go in to investigate clues. There were no such rumors in the newspapers. Xiaolan, you have to trust me."

Although Conan performed tearfully, Xiaolan on the phone was still a little perfunctory, probably still suspicious, which made Conan hate Noah even more, and if it wasn't for his own situation, he wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation.

"jingle bell, jingle bell"

Before Conan could catch his breath, the phone rang again. Seeing that it was a call from an unfamiliar number, he hesitated to answer the call.

"Hey, Kudo, I heard that you broke into the women's restroom, is it true?"

Conan looked at the newspapers around him and fell into self-doubt. Is it spreading so fast? Osaka knows it.

"How do you know, you also read newspapers?"

"No, it was Noah who called me and told me that it made me happy."

…It’s not over, it’s fine if you know it yourself, it’s still spread so far, and besides, it’s me who went in, you do the good things, and I’ll take the blame.
