Chapter 47 The Little Vinegar King of East Asia

Hearing Conan's question, Xin Fan raised his eyes from the book, looked at him puzzled and said, "I am listening. But instead of asking me about this kind of thing, you might as well listen to the conversation between Ms. Ikeda and her friend. I can get the answer."

"That's what I said, but brother Asano, what are you reading?" Due to the limitation of his height, Conan couldn't see the book on the table clearly even if he was sitting on a chair.

"It's "The Blue Kingdom" by Ms. Ikeda. I heard it's very good. I want to read it."

Conan nodded and said, "I also feel that since I know Ms. Ikeda, it's rude not to read a single book. It's just that the series she focuses on don't seem to be the ones I'm interested in."

"You'll know if you like it or not after you see it." Xin Fan smiled and pushed a book in front of Conan, "This is a new script that Ms. Ikeda hasn't published yet, let me show you first."

"Okay." Conan took the book graciously, opened it and read it.

Suzuki Ayako had just stopped Chikako Ikeda and Katsuo Ota from arguing, and now she stood up and said to everyone: "It's time for me to prepare dinner. Please rest for a while before dinner begins."

"Then I just went out to fix the broken roof." Takahashi Ryoichi also got up and said, "I heard it will rain soon."

"I'm sorry, Takahashi, please be careful."

Kakutani Hiroki said with a smile: "This kind of thing really can only be left to Takahashi, then the rest of us can play poker!"

However, Chikako Ikeda walked outside without saying a word. No matter how Kakutani Hiroki tried to persuade her behind her, she still left indifferently without looking back. Kakutani Hiroki immediately chased after him anxiously.

The person who originally proposed to play poker is not there, so of course everyone can't play poker.

Xinfan and Conan read a book with relish, and the others scattered in the hall of the villa when they saw this, doing their own things.

After a while, it really began to rain outside.

"Ah, Xiaolan." Sonoko leaned over to Mao Lilan who was standing in front of the window enjoying the rain, "Mr. Asano is really handsome when he reads seriously!"

"It's handsome, but isn't the type you like the kind that is handsome and cold, like Mr. Ota?"

"That's right, but don't you think a warm man like Mr. Asano is more reliable?" Sonoko stared at Shinshige intoxicated, "If you want to get married, you still have to find someone who is good to you."

Mao Lilan smiled helplessly, the garden is only so big, why are you thinking about getting married?

"That's right, that's right!" Yuanzi suddenly said to Mao Lilan, "You already have your new one! No wonder you don't like other men. But it's a pity that this guy didn't come with you."

Hearing his name, Conan immediately looked back.

Then I saw that Ota Katsuki who seemed to be very popular with girls walked towards the person he liked, with that disgusting smile on his face.

Conan, who knows nothing about dating but is very sensitive to rivals, immediately became alert.

"How about it, how about we go for a walk together?" Ota Katsura was tall, he bowed slightly and asked.

Mao Lilan was pulled so close by the opposite sex to talk, her cheeks turned red all of a sudden, and she said with some embarrassment: "But it's raining outside."

Ota Katsuki took two steps forward, forcing Mao Lilan to lean against the wall, and he wall-thumped the other party logically: "Walking in the rain can only feel romantic!"

Conan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes blazing with flames.

"Conan-kun? Have you finished reading the script?" Xinfan's clear voice suddenly rang in Conan's ear.

He froze for a moment, then subconsciously replied: "No, I think her writing is pretty good, and the details are handled professionally, but the overall feeling doesn't refresh or arouse readers' interest in reading, it's a bit boring."

"Don't jump to conclusions." Xin Fan closed the half-read book in his hand and handed it to Conan, "Let's talk about it after reading this book. The Cyan Kingdom is indeed a sensational work, and it's very good-looking."

"Really?" Conan took the book suspiciously, "Can a person's work have a big qualitative change? Especially this is her earliest work..."

"You'll know after reading it." Xin Fan smiled and blinked.

Conan always felt that there was some information hidden in Xinfan's expression, but he really couldn't understand the other party, so he had to do as Xinfan said.

"Mr. Asano!!" Sonoko's face restricted by the headband appeared in front of Xinshige, "Let's go for a walk too!"

"...Wh, what?" Xin Fan was stunned.

"Xiao Lan went out on a date with Mr. Ota, let's go too!"

"What?!" Conan exclaimed in surprise.

Damn it, he just talked to Asano and forgot that Xiaolan was still being accosted by that guy! !

Xin Fan recalled that in the plot, Xiaolan should be attacked by the murderer outside. This time, the person who saw the murderer changing clothes was replaced by him. Xiaolan will probably be safe.

Then does he want to give the murderer a chance?

In fact, there is no absolutely innocent person in this case, neither the murderer nor the victim is a good person. Therefore, Nobushige did not intend to take the risk of affecting the development of the subsequent plot to intervene and save the Chikako Ikeda who plagiarized his friend's work.

But it's really uncomfortable for him to just watch the murderer commit the crime without doing anything.

In this case, it's better to give the murderer a chance, or to remove himself from the whole thing. In this way, he can get by both rationally and emotionally.

Thinking about this, Xinfan stood up following Yuanzi's strength, and at the same time grabbed Conan who was running outside, and threw him on the seat: "Stay well inside the villa, it's very dangerous outside."

"But Xiaolan..."

"Are you worried about Miss Maori?" Xin Fan said, "I'll go and see her."

Conan hesitated. Yuanzi definitely didn't want his light bulb to disturb her date, and if he was alone, no one here would allow a child to run out casually, especially if the guardian Mao Lilan wasn't around.

Shinfan didn't give Conan too much time to think, so he left the villa with Sonoko.

They were holding an umbrella, and Sonoko stood on Shinshige's left side again, leaning against him as if without bones, pressing on the wound.

Although this pain is nothing compared to when he was injured, but...is it annoying to just keep hurting like this?

"Mr. Asano, if you open a music classroom, you must be a musician yourself?" Sonoko showed a longing look, "Do you play the guitar, the piano, or the violin like Kudo Shinichi?"

"I'm sorry, my favorite instrument is the bass." Xin Fan was calm in his heart, but on the surface he maintained a gentlemanly manner.

Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Bass is also very good, can you teach me? If I can learn bass, I should be able to join the girls' high school band! Thinking about it, it feels great!"
