Conan Moslin

The sun is shining and the weather is perfect.

The wide river surface was sparkling.

Under the shallow water, the pebbles were washed to be shiny and smooth without any edges.

Several children folded their trouser legs and stepped barefoot into the icy water.

The splashing water and the innocent laughter of children echoed in the ears of several people on the shore.

After finding a flat open space among the lush grass, Mao Lilan spread out the picnic blanket and laid out the picnic food one by one with Yuanzi.

While cleaning up, Sonoko was grumbling, not understanding why they had to bring a bunch of little kids with them on a picnic, but Maori Ran obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Looking at Conan, who had completely integrated into the group of children and finally smiled a little, she couldn't help but smile gently and with emotion.

After Conan was sent back by the police officer, he was listless during his vacation and seemed to be thinking about something very important.

During these few days, his "parents" came to see him.

When Mao Lilan saw the fat woman for the first time, she was actually a little surprised, but seeing that Conan didn't react much to this person, she guessed her identity.

According to my father, Mrs. Edogawa came twice in total. Once she intended to take Conan home, but Conan ran away.

The second time was when she was present.

At first, his father was reluctant to let Conan stay, but he was quickly defeated by the money offensive of the lady. Mao Lilan also felt helpless about the development of the situation at that time.

"What? You still want to leave your son here?" Kogoro Mouri looked at the mother and son who had returned with a very surprised expression.

Edogawa Fumiyo still had a smile on her face: "Yes - my son refuses to leave here no matter what I say!"

"But ma'am... this..."

"My husband's illness occasionally relapses, and I need to take care of him, so I can't always be with the child." Edogawa Fumiyo touched Conan's head with pity, took out a passbook from her bag, and handed it to Maori Kogoro solemnly, "Here, this is my son's child support. Just take it out when you need it."

Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up and he immediately changed his mind: "Madam! Your son is so cute, we all like him very much!"

"That's great! Xiaolan——"

"Ah, yes!"

"I'm sorry to bother you with this child?" Edogawa Fumiyo held Conan's shoulders and smiled at her like an auntie. "I think this child... seems to like you very much."

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan's cheeks turned red again.

Sonoko at the side teased again: "Are you thinking about that guy Shinichi again?"

"No... No!" Mao Lilan rubbed her face and tried to calm herself down. "I was just wondering... whether Sister Li An could come today."

Conan has been in a bad mood these days. She doesn't know what happened, so after thinking about it, she can only ask Sister Li An. Although Sister Li An doesn't know much about it, she gave a good suggestion.

"Take him and his friends to the riverside to relax, maybe they will be happier." Li An said to her on the phone, "I know a place with a great environment."

"Will Miss Li An come too?" Yuanzi raised her wrist and checked the time. "But...it's almost one o'clock now."

If you don't come soon, it will be past dinner time.

While the two were chatting, the children's fishing activities had come to an end.

Mitsuhiko held up a small fishing net and cheered, "This is really a great place to catch fish!"

He looked around at the children and asked expectantly, "Can we come here to play again in the future?"

"Okay!" This drew strong approval from Ayumi and Genta.

Listening to the chattering conversation around him and shaking the fishing net full of catches in his hands, Conan finally felt a little better.

He looked at the shore and saw Xiaolan chatting with Sonoko. They didn't know what they were talking about, but they both started laughing.

It was a pure, sunny smile without a trace of impurities.

Conan felt that he really didn't want to leave until he restored his identity.

"Conan! It's exactly one o'clock. Should we go eat?"

Ayumi's voice rang in his ears, and Conan came back to his senses and nodded: "Let's go."

"Look, what is that!" Mitsuhiko suddenly shouted as he pushed aside the bushes.

Several children, along with Mao Lilan and others who heard the sound, turned their heads to look.

A model boat with a red balloon tied to it was sailing at full speed on the winding river.

boom.

The red balloon burst and the boat stopped.

Conan heard an even more different sound. He followed the direction of the sound and turned on the high-power telescopic function of his glasses.

This is the latest function that Dr. Agasa developed when he charged his glasses last time. He has not used it yet.

On top of an abandoned building in the distance, someone was aiming and shooting.

It was a rifle. Conan was absolutely sure of it.

A man in a dark green coat and red shirt was holding a sniper rifle. Beside him, a man in dark blue clothes and a hat and another man in gray clothes pointed their guns at him.

On the right is a tall, thin man wearing sunglasses and a suit, holding something that looks like a walkie-talkie in his left hand and talking.

According to the shape of the mouth, it seems that——

"As you wished, the test was successful."

The man in sunglasses put away the gun that he had used to sniper the man, and the other two took him away.

Before Conan turned off the telescope, he saw a round white light moving upward from the bottom of the abandoned building, jumping around several figures, and finally stopping on the man who had shot with a gun.

That light spot is...

In the abandoned building, the bound young man turned around and was blinded by a flash of light.

He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the light, finally locking onto a dazzling red against the blue sky, white clouds and green grass.
