Chapter 108 Shinichi's Confession
"It hurts!" Yuji sat on the sofa and yelled at Akiko who was rubbing her face with an egg: "Sister Akiko, be gentle."
"Really, you know Xiaolan is the champion of the karate competition, but you still tease them."
Akiko put the egg on Yuji's hand, took off the apron from the wall and prepared to cook. Seeing Hiroki walking into the living room with a dog doll, she greeted him.
"Isn't it because of his talent for courting death?" Hiroki turned on the TV and prepared to watch the latest science world.
Feeling a little sore in his hands, Yuji put the egg into his mouth and lay down after swallowing it: "Because that is really fun, Shinichi's Shura Field."

...So you deserve to be beaten!
Akiko and Hiroki looked at this guy helplessly, looked at each other, and sighed together.
"Let's go out to eat tonight. We cook at home every day, so we have to go out for a big meal occasionally."
Yuji took out a card from his wallet: "This is the gold card of the Observation Restaurant in the Mika Central Building. Mom gave me one when she left, saying that with this, I can eat the daily special high-end meals."
"Isn't that restaurant very expensive?" Akiko wiped the water droplets on her hands with a handkerchief: "I think we can just go for a sushi meal."
Hiroki accidentally discovered the smile hidden on Yuji's face, squinting his half-moon eyes. This big brother must have some bad ideas again.
"So, you want to make trouble again?" The genius boy held his chin with his hand: "What happened to the Lookout Restaurant?"
Raising his index finger, Yuji felt the pain on his face again. He covered his face and smiled strangely: "Mom said that Dad also gave Shinichi a card. I called this morning and reported the card number to reserve a special seat, but the person on the other end told me that another gentleman named Kudo had booked it."
Yuji touched his chin and took out a video recorder from under the coffee table: "I'm ready."
If he got beaten, he would have to find a way to make up for it. Then would he still be Yuji!
The aroma of barbecue wafted out from the kitchen. Yuji put down the video recorder and sat at the dining table with Hiroki after washing his hands and waiting for dinner.
………
"There aren't many people today. Is it because it's a weekday?" Sitting at the table in the Lookout Restaurant, Akiko looked at the menu in front of her, and the numbers made her blink her eyes.
… So expensive!
"Hurry up and order, I want ice cream and fries!" Hiroki looked at his second brother who was wearing headphones and poked his waist: "Did you hear anything interesting?"
Take off the headphones, Yuji raised his mouth and spat at Shinichi with regret: "That guy has been talking to Xiaolan about Sherlock Holmes since he sat down. There is no hope!"
Watching the waiter walk away, Yuji opened the menu, picked a few items at random, and then found today's special baked snails.
"Is this snail different from the baked snails in ordinary Italian restaurants?" Akiko looked at Yuji in confusion.
Thinking carefully, Yuji looked at Hiroki and raised his hand, indicating his younger brother to speak.
"Probably... there's no difference. Does it count if the presentation is more refined?"
"Yes, to be precise, we ordinary people can't tell the difference." Yuji used a knife and fork to cut the steak on the table: "For chefs with more sensitive tongues, there may be a big difference, but ordinary people just eat it for the novelty."
Halfway through the meal, the boy took a sip of orange juice and continued to monitor Conan's movements: "If it weren't for coming to see, I would take you to eat lasagna."
Xiaolan looked at the elementary school student in the blue suit opposite. She was wearing a green dress and recalled the conversation between the two people in the infirmary yesterday. She became a little nervous.
"Why did you suddenly bring me to such an expensive restaurant?"
Conan was eating happily, but suddenly he stopped when he heard Xiaolan's words. Thinking of his purpose, he was a little scared.
Really, I have rehearsed it dozens of times in my head. How can I back down now!
Time passed by, and dishes kept coming to the table. He took a sip of the drink. Just as Conan was about to confess, he heard someone shouting at the door of the restaurant.
"Ah, our president died in the elevator!"
Perhaps suppressing his curiosity, Conan looked at Xiaolan shyly, intending to continue to confess.
"It was a pistol. Our president was shot through the head with a pistol! What a tragic death!"
At this time, Shinichi felt like there were hundreds of ants crawling on his body, itching to death. He kept turning his head back subconsciously, and then turned it back by himself.
"Let's go and take a look first." Xiaolan smiled gently, put down the tableware and stood up: "You are obviously very curious, don't pretend, it's not too late to talk about it when you come back later."
After laughing awkwardly twice, Conan nodded in agreement, and naturally led his childhood sweetheart to the elevator.
………
"Yuji..." Akiko covered her face at this moment, and she felt a little uncomfortable: "Next time I will definitely not come out with you."
…I made up my mind before, why did I forget it today? I haven't seen a dead person for three days, and I'm still thinking about whether I can survive the fourth day.
"Sorry, it's my fault."
Dead people really affect appetite. Hiroki closed his eyes and lay on the table, looking at Yuuji with his head tilted: "Those first-grade kids are really amazing. They don't have any psychological trauma because of the dead."
"Maybe they are thick-skinned. The difference between people is quite big..."
Raising his hand to glance at his watch, Yuji spotted Xiaolan and Conan who had returned from solving the case. He poked Akiko and Hiroki: "Okay, we're not here to eat. At worst, we'll buy some ingredients to cook at home later. They'll be back. ”
………
"You can say it now." Xiaolan picked up the ice cream on the table and placed it in front of Conan, waiting for his words quietly.
"Actually...Actually, I specially invited you out for dinner because I wanted to explain something clearly to you." Conan clenched his clothes tightly with his hands at this moment, his eyes were wandering, but his face was unusually red.
"Huh?"
Taking a deep breath, Conan looked at Xiaolan seriously. Because of the height difference, he pushed the chair away and stood on the ground, just face to face with Xiaolan who was sitting there.
"I... want to be a detective like Sherlock Holmes, so I am curious about all cases."
Conan walked around the table to Xiaolan, took out a pink object from his pocket and held it in his hand.
"But it's the first time I've met... a being who can't reason. It's too difficult to deal with." Conan took Xiaolan's hand and put what he was holding on the girl's hand: "I think I don't know enough. , the conditions are too few...so I would like to ask you to keep letting me observe.”
Xiaolan looked at the cherry blossom badge with Shinichi's name written on it in her hand, but still didn't understand what Conan said.
"Conan...what exactly do you want to say?"
On the table nearby, three people's heads were gathered together. Yuji, Hiroki and Akiko were all waiting behind them. Their eyes were wide open and their mouths were open. Yuji even had a perverted smile on his face.
The follow-up finally came from the headphones.
"...Lan...I...like you..."
After writing the paper for a day, my head is about to explode. I'm a math major writing a biology paper, and I'm self-taught. I can't stand it any longer.
It's just past midnight, and there's another chapter to be posted at one o'clock in the afternoon.
