Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

"I specially invited you out for dinner because I want to make something clear to you." Kudo Shinichi hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage, with a trembling voice: "Actually, it is..."

And Mao Lilan blinked her bright eyes, her heart full of anticipation and a little nervousness, as if she was not fully prepared for the upcoming words.

Kudo Shinichi swallowed nervously and was about to speak.

Ah ~!

A shrill scream suddenly broke the silence of the restaurant.

Everyone present stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes towards the restaurant entrance.

"What's wrong? Who is calling?" Mao Lilan asked in surprise.

"I think it must be another woman who saw a cockroach. Don't take it seriously." Kudo Shinichi said this mainly because he didn't want to spoil the fun. After all, this was the first time he invited Mouri Ran to dinner here.

Xingchen felt that something was not right. After all, based on past experience, something must have happened, and it was most likely a homicide.

"Something terrible has happened. I heard someone died in the elevator." Suddenly a man in a business suit ran back and shouted to his friend.

"Have you called the police?" his friend said.

"..." Xingchen tilted his head and looked, and after hearing what the uncle said, he thought to himself, it's over.

Kudo Shinichi's detective heart instantly ignited, but he still said: "Xiaolan, actually. What I really want to say is..."

"He used a pistol!"

This sentence was like a stroke of genius, which made Kudo Shinichi ashamed.

"It looks like the president outside was shot through the head."

"What I want to say is..." Kudo Shinichi continued to suppress his thoughts, but he kept listening to the conversation next to him. He held back and continued speaking.

"Don't be so stubborn." Ran Mouri couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Kudo Shinichi.

"Eh." Kudo Shinichi was stunned.

"In fact, you are obviously very worried about that murder case." Ran Mouri knew Kudo Shinichi's character too well.

"No." Kudo Shinichi was about to reject it, even though his heart was stirring.

"I'm not like some people. I won't hide or run away. Just go ahead, great detective." Mao Lilan was understanding and said, supporting her head with her hands.

Mao Lilan saw Kudo Shinichi's hesitant face and said, "Hurry up, go before I change my mind."

"Lan, I'm sorry." Kudo Shinichi stood up and said apologetically, "Then I'll be back soon."

"Yeah." Mao Lilan nodded and then turned to look at Kudo Shinichi's leaving back.

Xingchen looked at the steak that had just been served, then turned his head to look at Kudo Shinichi's back.

"My steak, can't it wait until I finish eating before doing anything else?" The steak on Xingchen's table sighed, stood up and said to Huiyuan Ai: "I'll go take a look, maybe I'll come back after solving the case."

"Okay, be careful." Huibara Ai blinked and nodded softly.

"Hmm? Little sister, what is your brother doing?" A waitress happened to pass by and asked curiously.

"He heard the screams and went over first. My brother is a detective." Huiyuan Ai said, supporting her head with her hands.

"A detective?" the waitress asked curiously.

"Yes, can you please take this steak back and serve it later? I'm afraid it will be cold and not tasty when Onii-chan comes back." Haibara Ai looked at the waitress and said.

"Okay." The waitress bent down slightly and put the steak on the plate in her hand.

"I just didn't expect that your brother is actually a detective." The waitress' eyes lit up. The fact that a handsome guy and a detective come to such a high-end restaurant shows that he is not financially poor.

I don’t know if he has a girlfriend.

"Yeah, he always tells me he's great." Huibara Ai still had to pretend to be a little girl and smiled happily.

The waitress's eyes lit up and she was about to ask Haibara Ai for the news.

"By the way, waitress. Aren't we going to serve more dishes?" Huihara Ai pointed to the plate, because in addition to the steak she had just taken back, there were also two desserts on it.

"Oh no! I hope that customer won't complain about me." When the waitress heard this, her face changed and she hurried over to Mouri Ran's table.

Haibara Ai stirred the juice with a long spoon, and she seemed to have a sense of crisis in her heart.

When Xingchen walked out the door, he saw Kudo Shinichi in the corridor.

He hurriedly ran forward and blocked Kudo Shinichi's way with his hand.

"Chen, why are you here too?!" Kudo Shinichi said in surprise when he saw the man in front of him.

Xingchen said speechlessly: "Why didn't I come over, and you solved the case by yourself?"

"This is because the case is calling me." Kudo Shinichi waved his hand and said.

"So you just left Sister Xiaolan alone and went to solve the case on your own." Xingchen looked at Kudo Shinichi with disdain and accused.

"No, it's just that Xiaolan also supports me." Kudo Shinichi said that it was not that he didn't want to accompany Mouri Ran, but that Mouri Ran also said that she supported him.

"...Okay, just have a good meal with Sister Xiaolan this time. I'll come this time." Xingchen patted his chest, looked at Kudo Shinichi seriously and said, "If you disappoint Sister Xiaolan, I will make you pay the price."

"Huh?" Kudo Shinichi suddenly remembered something, which made his body tense up and he spoke.

"I hope Inspector Megure and the others haven't forgotten me, Niino Rokuchen. At least I'm still a detective." Xingchen turned his head to look at the corridor, reached out and patted Kudo Shinichi's shoulder and said with a smile.

After saying that, Xingchen turned and headed towards the crime scene.

Kudo Shinichi opened his eyes wide, then he gazed at Xingchen's back and said to himself, Thank you, Chen.

His eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted, "Wait."

"Is there anything else?" Xingchen turned around and asked puzzledly. Could it be that Kudo's curiosity was as strong as a cat?

"That's right, can you please not call me 'Sister Xiaolan' like this? It's weird." Kudo Shinichi said, scratching his head awkwardly.

"Yes...is that so." Xingchen looked at his hand that already represented an adult and said with blinking eyes.

It seems that after he grew up, he was indeed older than all of them.

.....

Hotel x floors.

Xingchen took another elevator to the upper floor, not far from the murder scene. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw a large group of onlookers gathered there.

Xingchen looked at the bustling crowd and secretly complained in his heart. He really didn't want to squeeze into the crowd. However, he still gritted his teeth, saying "make way" and squeezed in with difficulty.

He arrived at the blockade, and a policeman seemed to spot him and shouted, "Trouble tends to retreat, you can't enter this side."

"Mr. Officer, I came here just because I heard that a murder happened here." Xingchen took out a forged detective's certificate from his pocket. Because of the special nature of Neon, detectives actually have detective certificates.

Otherwise, how did Kogoro Mouri open a detective agency?

Of course, there are detectives who don’t have a detective license, the most typical one is Kudo Shinichi.

After all, they can enter the crime scene directly by scanning their faces.

"I am a detective."
