Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri and then at Eri Kisaki in panic, and her innocent face showed an expression of confusion and helplessness.

Kudo Shinichi remained in the same posture, drinking juice as if no one was around.

Dongfang Haoyue seemed to be drinking juice, but in fact he was secretly looking at Maori Kogoro and Kissing Eri. He shrugged his shoulders in his heart and sighed helplessly:

"I never thought that after I traveled through time, the first meeting between Detective Maori and Aunt Eri would be like this...

They seemed like different people when they saw each other, and they were always secretly mocking each other. No wonder they lived separately...!

Now that I think about it, when I first met Aunt Eri, I was particularly worried that she would live with Detective Maori in the office, discover clues about Shinichi and me through our daily lives, and expose our identities.

Hahaha, I was super conflicted at the time, thinking... Detective Maori and Aunt Eri took great care of me, and they were both good people. Even if I was in danger of exposing my identity, I had to let nature take its course and watch them reconcile.

Now it seems that if I do nothing, it won’t have any impact on their conflict~!"

As Dongfang Haoyue thought about it, her red lips left the straw and she smiled freely.

Kudo Shinichi accidentally noticed the change in Haoyue's expression out of the corner of his eye. He loosened his lips and looked at her in confusion until the next second.

"what."

Xiaolan tried her best to regain her senses, a drop of sweat running down her cheek. She looked back and forth at Maori Kogoro and Kisaki Eri, trying to save the situation by persuading them:

"Wait......"

"boom."

It was the muffled sound of Kogoro Mouri slamming the table.

Kisaki Eri clenched her right fist and placed it on her right shoulder, clenched her left fist and placed it on the wooden table, staring at Kogoro with a stern face.

Maori Kogoro supported the wooden table with both hands, stared at Eri intently for a moment, turned to the left, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked away leisurely, without even turning his head, and said perfunctorily:

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Actually...

Maori Kogoro helplessly changed his position in his heart and said:

"Okay, okay, I can't stay here any longer.

If I stay here any longer, my wedding ring will be picked up by someone else!

I might as well help her find a ring as a form of exercise."

"Dad, daddy!"

Xiaolan looked at Kogoro Mouri anxiously, hoping that he would come back and have a good talk with Eri Kisaki, but he ignored her and walked away.

Yingli stood up, leaned forward, supported the wooden table with her right hand, and reached for the cigarette that was still emitting gray smoke with her left hand.

Xiaolan turned to look at Eri, and said with an awkward smile:

"Dad must have been too nervous to leave so quickly. You haven't seen each other for a long time."

"I don't know if you're right."

Hibiki Eri looked down at the cigarette, put it out calmly, smiled generously and said sarcastically:

"All in all, he looks like a narrow-minded man who can't compromise."

"what?"

Xiaolan realized belatedly that Kisaki Eri's wedding ring had disappeared. She subconsciously let out a cry of surprise, a drop of sweat running down her cheek. She turned her head to look at her who had returned to her original seat, and said with nervous concern:

"You didn't wear it?

The wedding ring...you always wear it...!"

Dongfang Haoyue was slightly stunned when he heard this. He held the juice in his hands and hung it in front of his chest. He looked at Fei Yingli's left hand in surprise and confirmed that she was not wearing a wedding ring. He guessed in his heart with surprise:

"Really? I just realized Auntie Eri isn't wearing her wedding ring!

But why doesn't she wear her wedding ring?

Could it be that...her relationship with Detective Maori has completely broken down!

What a pity. Last time when we were solving the case in the cafe, Aunt Eri's ring provided Shinichi with a lot of inspiration and helped him come up with solid evidence to prove the criminal's crime.

Now...Auntie Yingli doesn't wear a ring anymore...

Having said that. "

Dongfang Haoyue turned to look at Kudo Shinichi who was drinking juice, puffed up his cheeks unhappily, and angrily scolded in his heart:

"Shinichi must have noticed that Aunt Eri wasn't wearing a ring, but he didn't tell me for so long, huh!"

During this period.

When Kudo Shinichi heard what Xiaolan said, he looked at Kisaki Eri's left hand in surprise, and confirmed that she was not wearing a wedding ring. He bit the straw in silence, and said in his heart with a headache after realizing it belatedly:

"Lan's mom wasn't wearing a wedding ring... I just realized it...!

It's a headache. The shadow I suffered in my childhood always lingers in my mind and cannot be shaken off. I dare not carefully observe the culprit who brought me the shadow..."

At this moment.

Kudo Shinichi noticed Dongfang Haoyue's puffed cheeks from the corner of his eye. He looked at her in surprise, and doubted himself in his heart, not quite understanding:

"what?

Why is Haoyue looking at me like that?

Did I do something bad?

I was drinking juice peacefully...!

Oh, I understand!

Haoyue must want to drink my juice and try the different flavor~!"

Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi held the juice and handed it to Dongfang Haoyue's mouth.

???

Dongfang Haoyue typed three question marks, and her puffy face suddenly stopped.

She bit Kudo Shinichi's straw reflexively, took a sip of the green juice, let go of the straw, handed her own juice cup over to Shinichi's collar, looked at him stupidly as he took back the juice cup, and guessed in a puzzled whisper:

"Shinichi, do you want to taste my juice in exchange?"

"what?"

When Kudo Shinichi saw that Dongfang Haoyue's reaction was different from what he expected, he subconsciously let out a light exclamation, casually bit her straw, and took a deep sip of the orange juice.

Shinichi held his juice cup in front of his chest with both hands, turned his head to look at Haoyue who had taken back the juice cup, and confirmed in a silly whisper:

"Haoyue puffed up her cheeks just now, wasn't it because she wanted to taste my juice...?"

"Not at all."

Dongfang Haoyue held the juice cup in front of her chest with both hands, looked at Kudo Shinichi proudly, and explained in a low voice with confidence:

"Shinichi was so observant but he didn't tell me that Auntie Eri wasn't wearing her wedding ring, which led to my failure to promptly care about whether Auntie had encountered setbacks in her relationship, and I didn't comfort her considerately.

That’s why my cheeks puffed up!”

"What? For now, I just realized that Aunt Yingli is not wearing a wedding ring. It's just Haoyue..."

Kudo Shinichi narrowed his eyes and stared at Dongfang Haoyue, complaining in a dissatisfied voice:

"Haoyue just discovered this, how can you blame me?"

"Eh?"

Dongfang Haoyue knew that she was in the wrong, so she pretended to be stupid and looked at Kudo Shinichi. She leaned to the left, put her red lips close to his ear, and whispered in a low voice without understanding:

"Shinichi also just realized that Aunt Eri isn't wearing her wedding ring?"
