Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 281 Conan the Suicide Bomber

……

Not far from the window, around the corner, Ai Haibara stared intently at the two people inside, her brows furrowing even more.

Because of the distance and her lack of lip-reading skills, she could only understand a few words no matter how hard she looked.

Come to my house

As Qi Ming suddenly grasped Ran Mouri's hand, Ai Haibara's mind went blank.

So what's wrong with society right now?

When men and women go out together, the first thing they talk about is whose house they're going to.

Ai Haibara repeated deep breathing and exhaling, her face growing increasingly gloomy, as she had already written a thesis on modern male-female relationships in her mind.

"See those two? They're definitely..."

With the thought that she couldn't bear to be the only one suffering, Ai Haibara turned to look at Conan.

Unexpectedly, Conan suddenly took out his phone and made a call.

Ai Haibara asked curiously.

"What are you doing?"

Conan didn't reply, but took a deep breath and adjusted the bowtie voice changer.

The call connected, and Ran Mouri immediately moved in the coffee shop as well.

She took out her phone, and seeing the name Shinichi Kudo displayed on the screen, Ran Mouri suddenly broke into a sly smile.

She answered the phone and then said naturally:

"Hey, Conan, what's up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shinichi Kudo's voice came through the receiver.

However, at this moment, Shinichi Kudo's tone was disgustingly nauseating.

"Hey~ Little Lanzi~ how have you been lately~"

"……puff!"

Qi Ming had just taken the newly ordered fruit tea from the waiter and taken a sip.

Hearing Tang Chaotang's voice on the phone, he spat it out again.

On the other side, Ran Mouri's face also froze upon hearing this voice.

Disgusting, really disgusting.

You're calling me using Shinichi Kudo's phone right now, how come you blurted everything out just because I tested you?

Thinking of this, Ran Mouri couldn't help but pout.

Was I really an idiot before?

This guy's acting is so bad, how come he can't even tell?

"..."

Outside the coffee shop, Ai Haibara looked at Conan with a blank expression.

What is this detective doing?

I thought you had some brilliant ideas, but it turns out this is all you've got—self-destruction?

Why don't you just give me your ID number, it would be faster?

The bystanders were speechless, let alone Conan, who had said those words himself.

His heart is beating incredibly fast right now.

Oh no, it's become a habit.

I accidentally responded in Conan's tone!

Seeing Ai Haibara staring at him with an expression that looked like she was looking at an idiot, Conan really wanted to run away.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Conan quickly calmed himself down.

He's an old hand at deceiving people.

Conan's eyes darted around, and he immediately covered up his embarrassment with laughter.

"Haha, it's because I heard Ran think I'm Conan, so I tried to imitate Conan's tone."

"How is it? Do I look good?"

Ran Mouri's lips twitched slightly.

This is more than just a resemblance; it's practically a natural performance.

And why do these words sound so familiar...?

I remember now, it seems I used to be fooled like this all the time.

"Oh, it's Shinichi. I accidentally read your name as Conan. What's up? I've been doing alright lately."

cold.

Conan only heard coldness in Ran Mouri's words.

Ran Mouri wasn't like this when she received his calls before, was she?

And what's with mistaking my name, Shinichi Kudo, for Conan Edogawa?

You thought four characters meant five? If you didn't notice the name, then I can understand it a little better, right?!

"It's nothing. I just heard from Conan yesterday that you made an appointment with Qi Ming today, so I wanted to find out what happened."

"That's it."

Just as Ran Mouri was thinking of a response, Qi Ming suddenly handed her a note.

Tell him I didn't come.

Ran Mouri was wondering what Qi Ming meant when he passed her another note.

[Shinichi Kudo is your boyfriend. It's easy for him to get jealous if we're out alone as a couple.]

Seeing the contents of the note and Qi Ming's smiling face, Ran Mouri nodded, though her face was slightly flushed.

I'm not in a relationship with Shinichi, okay? Mr. Qi Ming, really.

However, Ran Mouri frowned in confusion a moment later.

He wasn't on speakerphone, was he? Mr. Qi Ming has such good hearing?

By the way, Mr. Qi Ming is a magician, so some elf must have told him something.

When in doubt, consult magic.

"No, Mr. Qi Ming had something to do today and didn't come out. I'm shopping with Sonoko right now."

Seeing that Ran Mouri had followed his instructions, Qi Ming nodded with satisfaction.

This old bastard calls me Brother Qi Ming to my face, but now he calls me that guy behind my back, right?

"Going shopping with, Yuanzi?"

Upon hearing Ran Mouri's reply, Conan, holding the phone, stared wide-eyed at the coffee shop.

What? Qi Ming is Yuanzi's transgender person, right? That man Qi Ming is clearly sitting right in front of you, how can you lie like that?

Conan suddenly felt like the sky had fallen.

It's one thing for Xiaolan to go shopping with Qiming, but now she's actually lying to me that she's shopping with her best friend.

"Ran, are you sure you're shopping with Sonoko right now?"

"...What, is there a problem?"

Xiaolan's voice sounded somewhat displeased.

Shouldn't you be relieved to hear this news? Why do you seem so skeptical?

"No, no problem."

Conan's expression looks like he's about to vomit blood.

She lied to me again! Xiaolan lied to me again!

Ziliu~

I don't know when it started, but Ai Haibara has been carrying an ice cream cone.

She gently licked the ice cream, enjoying it with relish.

Of course, she was also enjoying the family romance drama unfolding before her eyes.

Looking at Conan's constantly changing expression, she guessed what Ran and Conan had been talking about.

Great deal!

But then Ai Haibara seemed to realize that she was now also an actress in this drama.

But she quickly shook her head again.

What's the point of worrying about these things?

Since there are people who are even more unhappy than me right now, I might as well be a little happier.

"Xiao Lan, I..."

Just as Conan was about to ask Ran Mouri something, before he could finish speaking, Ran interrupted him without hesitation:

"Okay, that's all for now, I'm a bit busy, I'll hang up now."

The call ended immediately, followed by a short busy tone.

"..."

Conan stood frozen in place, his phone still pressed against his ear, as if petrified.

He always hung up on Ran Mouri in a hurry for various reasons.

But who would have thought that Ran Mouri would beat me to it and kill me today?

Ah, so it's really this upsetting to have your phone cut off before you can say what you want to say?
