Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

"You should thank me." Xingchen waved his hand and said proudly, "If I hadn't given Hattori an idea, he would have made a statement when the students gathered together."

"Thank you so much." said Kudo Shinichi.

"However, I don't know if that statement can silence so many people. Until this matter is settled, I will stay by that girl's side for you." Huibara Ai said lightly.

"By the way, Huiyuan. I have a question. Even Chen has changed back to his original form. Why don't you have this urge?"

"...If my identity is discovered, it will be easier for the organization to track me down, but you and Chen are different." Huiyuan Ai closed her eyes and said lightly: "Chen has always used disguises and masks to appear in the organization, and you are just like a small ant in front of the organization, not worth mentioning."

"..." Kudo Shinichi's eyebrows twitched and he thought to himself, what do you mean by little ant? Hmm.

"But, Huibara, can you please not use Conan's voice? It always feels a bit effeminate when you echo each other with Chen. It's disgusting."

"Really? I think this is a good idea." Haibara Ai just wanted to disgust this little white guinea pig. Can't she use her brain every time she does something?

After saying that, Huibara Ai walked out of the bathroom.

"Actually, I feel a little weird too," Xingchen muttered.

"Yeah, I'm so sick to death." Kudo Shinichi said, scratching his head.

Xingchen followed with his arms folded across his chest and said, "Okay, Sister Xiaolan has been waiting for you outside for a long time, so hurry out."

"Hi hi hi..." Kudo Shinichi replied perfunctorily.

A few minutes later.

Outside the door, Mao Lilan saw the door open, saw Xingchen and Conan following Kudo Shinichi and said, "How did you get in?"

"We are just curious about Shinichi-nii's house. It looks so big."

"Really?" Mao Lilan nodded in response and continued, "In the future, don't go into someone else's house without saying anything. You must ask politely before entering."

"Yes." They both answered at the same time.

On the road.

They are on their way to school.

Xingchen and 'Conan' walked side by side behind the two of them.

"I was really shocked at that time. Who would have thought that the black knight would turn out to be you." Mao Lilan thought of the scene at that time and said with surprise at that time.

"You can't even remember your lines, yet you have the courage to be a stand-in." Mao Lilan said with a smile on her face.

"Huh?" Kudo Shinichi looked puzzled when he heard this.

"If I hadn't continued to act according to the script, the play would have been completely unwatchable." Mao Lilan continued, saying that it might have been because she hadn't seen Kudo Shinichi for too long, and she wanted to share her experiences with him every moment.

Kudo Shinichi thought of Suzuki Sonoko and couldn't help but think to himself, that damn woman Sonoko.

Because that's what Suzuki Sonoko told him at the time.

"Remember, once the black knight comes on stage, he must hug the princess and kiss her immediately." Suzuki Sonoko said with an auntie smile, "Before that, you must not speak."

But now thinking back, he felt like he had missed something by not kissing her.

"What do you think?" asked Mao Lilan when she saw him thinking.

"You're talking about drama, what can I say?" Kudo Shinichi said after coming back to his senses.

"No, I'm talking about the princess." Mao Lilan said shyly: "Although the play is not over, there is still a score."

"Ah, you look really good like that." Kudo Shinichi smiled and said, "As the saying goes, people need clothes and Buddha needs gold, it makes sense."

(It comes from the first volume of Stories to Awaken the World written by Feng Menglong in the Ming Dynasty. The original text is "As the saying goes: Buddha is a golden attire, and people are clothes.")

Xingchen blinked and thought, people need clothes and horses need saddles, he has no idea when it was changed.

"What do you mean? Are you praising or criticizing me?" Mao Lilan couldn't understand what he meant at all, because "people need clothes and Buddha needs gold" has different meanings in different sentences, which means it is impossible to confirm whether it is praising or derogatory.

They were just walking to a small alley when a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the alley.

"Conan." Ayumi waved and shouted.

"Congratulations on your safe discharge from the hospital," Mitsuhiko also shouted.

Then three people ran towards them.

"Hi, how are you guys doing lately?" Kudo Shinichi suddenly greeted.

Xingchen felt ashamed when he heard this, thinking that this guy really hasn't gotten used to his current body yet. It seems that he has been pretending to be a child for too long.

"Ah, hello, big brother." Ayumi didn't recognize Kudo Shinichi at first, probably because Kudo Shinichi hadn't been active in the newspaper for more than half a year.

They gradually forgot about this person, and Mitsuhiko and Genta shouted at the same time: "Hello, big brother."

"Hey, who is this big brother?" Genta asked Conan in a low voice.

"He looks familiar." Mitsuhiko said, stroking his chin and looking at Kudo Shinichi.

"Isn't he the Kudo Shinichi brother you mentioned?" Xingchen blinked and said puzzledly: "It was you who told me before, Mitsuhiko."

"Really? Maybe it's because I haven't seen it in the newspaper for a long time." After thinking for a while, Mitsuhiko touched his head and said embarrassedly: "But now that I see it here, I still feel a little surprised."

"Yeah." Ayumi nodded in response, and continued, "I heard that Huibara-san caught a cold today and has to stay at home."

"By the way, did you watch the football game yesterday?" Yuan Tai changed the subject.

"Yes, it's wonderful."

Kudo Shinichi looked at the scene in front of him and thought to himself, yes, not long ago I was one of them, but now it seems like a dream.

"Shinichi, we have to leave quickly. Otherwise we will be late." After shouting, Mao Lilan walked quickly forward.

"Ah, Sister Xiaolan, wait for me."

Mao Lilan quickly braked and was almost frightened by Kudo Shinichi.

Speechlessly, she turned to Kudo Shinichi and asked, "Huh?!"

"....." Xingchen, who was about to suggest leaving, was so frightened when he heard this that he quickly shut up and looked at Kudo Shinichi and Mao Li Ran.

"No, I...I was just kidding you." Kudo Shinichi realized that he was no longer Conan and hurriedly explained.

"I can't stand it. When will you wake up?" Mao Lilan walked back and said speechlessly: "Be smarter in class, do you understand?"

"Okay, I tell you, I was just kidding." Kudo Shinichi continued.

Xingchen heaved a sigh of relief, as he thought he was about to be exposed.

"It's okay, it's time for us to leave." Huibara Ai reminded lightly.

"Oh." Xingchen then turned around and followed the three kids out of the alley, because their school was just along the way ahead. The two schools were only about two streets away, so they were actually quite close.

The three little ones also took a detour to find them, because sometimes Conan and Xingchen would also go to school with Mao Lilan.
