Chapter 724 Conan: Is Uncle Dragon reminding me of something...?
After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, the children eagerly grabbed Tequila and Professor Agasa and ran quickly inside the aquarium.......................
Of course, the kids couldn't possibly move the two-meter-tall agave or the two-meter-wide Professor Agasa, so they went to buy tickets themselves...
Tequila and Professor Agasa were hanging behind, chatting casually...
"By the way,"
Tequila glanced at Conan, who was walking beside her and hadn't run off to buy tickets with the children, and looked somewhat puzzled.
"Conan, why didn't you go with the kids?"
"Hahaha......................"
Conan chuckled twice.
"I just wanted to spend more time with Uncle Long..."
"We haven't seen each other for so long, I've missed you so much..........................."
"Uh, is that so............................."
Tequila scratched his head, feeling that Conan's words were a bit strange.
Didn't they just meet at the Twilight Villa not long ago?
Fine, whatever Conan says goes. I'm too lazy to think about it too much...
Tequila thought to herself silently.
"but,"
Tequila suddenly thought of another question.
"Hey Conan, it seems like it's been a long time since you've gone out with Ayumi and the others, hasn't it?"
"Is there some kind of conflict with them? It doesn't seem like it..."
As Tequila spoke, she looked at Conan and Professor Agasa.
Professor Agasa was stunned for a moment, and a few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Ah, this, there's no contradiction..."
"Uh, hahaha......................"
Conan couldn't help but chuckle twice when he heard Tequila's question.
He felt helpless.
Why does Uncle Long keep asking such random questions?
These questions are illogical, but they are all facts, and I can't explain them myself...
Could it be that he's going to tell Uncle Long that he doesn't actually have a bad relationship with Ayumi and the others, and that he doesn't simply want to be with Uncle Long, but just doesn't want to get close to Grace?
Dr. Agasa was also helpless.
Ever since Shinichi shared his and Heiji's speculations with him, Professor Agasa, though somewhat skeptical that Grace, who seemed like such a cute child, could be an enemy of a rival organization...
However, still considering the possibility of something going wrong, he tried to invite as few children as possible to his home.
After all, if they called out the names of the other children, it would seem even more illogical not to call out Grace's name; the only option was to cut them all off...............................
However, even so, it couldn't prevent today's situation from happening...
"Actually, there's no contradiction at all,"
Conan explained somewhat stiffly to the tequila,
"My relationship with Ayumi and the others has always been very good."
"It's just that I've had a lot of things going on at home lately, Uncle Mori has been taking on a lot of cases, and Ran-neechan also asked me for help with some things..."
"Is that so...?"
Agave still seemed somewhat puzzled.
"But didn't Mori complain to me that he's been getting fewer requests lately...?"
"........................"
Conan's face stiffened, and he was even more speechless.
Damn, I almost forgot, Uncle Long and Uncle Mori are also very close. They were playing cards together just a few days ago...
What should I do? How am I supposed to explain this to myself now?
"Uncle Long!"
At the ticket booth ahead, Ayumi waved the ticket she had just received and called out towards the tequila booth.
"We've bought our tickets, why are you taking so long...?"
"Okay, sure,"
Upon hearing this, Tequila smiled and exclaimed,
"Coming soon, coming soon..."
After saying that, Tequila jogged off to meet up with the children...
Seeing that Tequila had forgotten what had just happened, Professor Agasa breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Conan and smiled.
"Shinichi, thankfully Mr. Ryu didn't pester us too much..."
"Um..................."
Conan nodded slightly.
However, his expression still wasn't very good...................
Uncle Long didn't press the matter this time. Did he really forget about it immediately, or...?
He didn't want to get entangled at all.
Was his question truly just a casual remark, or...?
Reminding myself.........................
Regardless, Uncle Long could sense that Grace and Amuro Tooru, who were involved, might not be incapable of being left behind.
It seems I need to be more cautious in my actions from now on...
Well, this plan to distance ourselves needs to be changed.
