Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty - Ayumi, Conan, Xiaolan
When Ran Mouri returned to the passenger cabin section with great worries, she happened to meet Officer Nakamori with a solemn look on his face.
"Miss Koran," Police Officer Nakamori asked immediately after seeing her. "Do you know where Mr. Maori went?"
"Father?" Ran Maori was a little surprised and looked at the cabin door of Kogoro Mouri's cabin not far away. "He is not here?"
"Not here." Officer Nakamori shook his head. "I have been looking for him once before, but when I came to him this time, he was still not here."
"No," Ran Mouri's expression was also a little confused. "Is it because he was drinking in a bar?"
"I've gone to find it too," Officer Nakamori continued to shake his head. "Not there either."
"Is there anything you want to ask me for?" With the sudden sound of inquiries, Kogoro Mouri walked over from the path behind Ran Mouri. "Officer Nakamori, is it you looking for me?"
"Mr. Maori, we are looking for you," Officer Nakamori breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go, let's continue to check out our plans."
"To be honest, I feel that this plan is already very detailed. Is it really necessary to continue to do it?" Kogoro Mouri sighed and asked. "How many days have we discussed?"
"Anyway, Kidd should be calmed down for a while after this operation ends," Officer Nakamori also had a helpless expression on his face. "I must take a good vacation at that time."
"There's nothing to do," Kogoro Mouri smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's true, I haven't worked so hard for a long time."
"Dad, where have you been?" Ran Maori asked curiously. "Officer Nakamori didn't find you in the bar just now."
"I went shopping just now, nothing." Kogoro Mouri shook his head. "Officer Nakamori, let's go."
"Yes." Officer Nakamori nodded, and the two walked towards the distance together.
While Kogoro Mori and Ran Mori passed by each other, Kogoro Mori's sleeve rubbed against Ran Mori's forearm.
The clothes were very cold, so cold that Ran Mori's arms trembled. For some reason, Ran Mori always felt something was wrong, so she just stood there and looked in the direction where Kogoro Mori left in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly heard someone calling his name.
"Sister Xiaolan?"
"Hey..." Ran Maori still didn't come back to his senses, but just responded blankly.
"Sister Xiaolan?" This time, the voice of the person calling her name became even more determined. "Sister Xiaolan!?"
"Ah!" Moriran woke up and looked in the direction where the sound came - Conan was confused, and Arimi was following Conan, just looking at Conan in a daze.
"Sister Xiaolan, why are you here?" Conan asked. "Are you thinking about something?"
"Ah..." Ran Mori was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "It's okay, I'm just thinking about something... But why is Ayumi with you?"
"Uh..." Conan glanced at Arimi behind him, and then realized that Arimi's eyes were a little...fanassy? "Uh, Arimi?"
"What's wrong?" Azumi replied immediately.
"That..." Conan asked quite embarrassedly. "You... don't look at me like that, I'm a little nervous."
"Ah, OK!" Azumi nodded, and then immediately changed to a very serious expression, but her eyes were still staring at Conan's eyes intently.
"Now, Conan," Ran Mori had already squatted down and looked at Conan with a very playful expression. "What is your relationship with Ayumi?"
"Nothing is related!" Conan immediately shook his head, and after hearing this answer, Ran Mori immediately felt as if he had a premonition that he could see something interesting, and immediately turned his gaze to Arimi's direction. Then she saw Arimi's gaze dimmed for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
"Asumi?" Ran Mori looked at Asumi and asked again.
"..." Azumi hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Yes, there is nothing to do with it."
"Um..." Ran Mori's expression was quite subtle, and he put his hands on his chest and stood up again. "Is that true?" As she said this, her eyes swept Conan's face and looked at Arimi without scanning any valuable information.
Compared to Conan, a little guy with a big, open-minded little guy on his face, Ran Mouri still thinks Arimi's expression is easier to understand.
What kind of expression is this? Ran Maori couldn't explain it clearly, but she might be able to guess that she had seen such a look before.
That was a expression that her former best friend often showed.
She met the girl at a school-level football match that Shinichi Kudo participated in when she was in the middle of the country. At that time, the girl was holding Kudo Shinichi’s support slogan like her. After that, they became good friends who could talk about everything, and they often cheered for Shinichi Kudo at the competitions that Shinichi Kudo participated in.
But later, Ran Maori discovered that the girl seemed to have encountered something and became a little depressed. Even when chatting with her, she often couldn't get interested. Moreover, if Shinichi Kudo stayed in the training ground to practice football after school and Ran Maori went to see him after self-study, sometimes she could often see the girl - she just leaned quietly on the barbed wire outside the training ground, standing quietly in the direction where Shinichi Kudo was for a long time.
After that, her relationship with Ran Maori gradually became subtle. Although she would still say hello when she was cheering Shinichi Kudo on the court, she no longer used force to cheer. She just sat quietly in a corner of the audience area, her eyes quietly followed Shinichi Kudo, and she would no longer take the initiative to chat with Ran Maori.
Ran Maori didn't know the specific details at the time, but as she went to high school and occasionally met some female fans of Shinichi Kudo, she probably guessed what was going on.
If she was not mistaken, it was an expression of looking at her lover - the additional condition was that the lover might not like her.
So, who is Conan in his heart?
Ran Maori once heard Akimi's guess answer from Akimi's mouth, although she did not accept it at that time - At that time, Akimi said that Conan liked her was Ran Maori. For this reason, Conan could no longer live in his heart.
But... Ran Mori glanced at Conan who was looking at her curiously at this moment.
If she thought it was impossible at the time, she seemed to really feel that the situation was a bit subtle.
