Mao Lilan was sitting on the sofa on the second floor. While helping Maori Kogoro, who was attending a concert, to look after the house, he casually chatted with the child: "Have you ever felt that Brother Shiraishi seems to be listless recently?"
"Yes." Conan held the mystery novel and didn't pay much attention to this topic because he had already noticed it.
There are too many reasons that may have caused Shiraishi to become like this.
For example, after investigation, it was found that the person targeting him was very difficult.
Another example is that the lunch boxes in the supermarket are not as delicious as the rice cooked by Haihara Ai, and the rice cooked by Mao Lilan is not spicy enough.
Or maybe he failed in some rescue operation.
Of course, it is also possible that he feels that Black Cat has hidden too many things from him and is secretly investigating on his own, but cannot find out the results.
Conan thought about helping, but was declined by Shiraishi. Conan himself didn't have much information, so in the end he couldn't do anything.
Mao Lilan didn't notice that Conan was perfunctory and distracted when he answered. As soon as she heard the answer, she immediately became energetic: "Right! Since I'm not the only one who thinks so, it's not an illusion!"
Conan heard her concerned tone and raised his head from the book, revealing half of his face: "So?"
"So why not take him out to relax." Mao Lilan took out four tickets from his pocket, unfolded them into a fan shape, and flicked them with a smile, "When I bought a juicer yesterday, I won the ticket to the United Magic Exhibition in the lottery.
Voucher!”
"You drew so many?" Don't you usually only give one ticket, or give a group of three family coupons? Why is this event so special?
"Hmm... not really. I only got the family package - two full-price tickets and one half-price ticket."
Mao Lilan glanced downstairs guiltily, lowered her voice, and whispered to Conan: "There is another one drawn by Yuanzi."
"Sister Yuanzi?" Conan was surprised, "Has her luck become so good?"
"Yuanzi's luck has never been bad." Mao Lilan vaguely brought up the topic.
She was embarrassed to say it, but in fact, after she accidentally revealed her plan to take Shiraishi to relax, Suzuki Sonoko turned back to the supermarket and bought two trucks of stuff, emptied the prize pool, and finally drew a ticket adjacent to the family package.
This ticket is quite popular and has already been sold out.
Conan saw the look in Mao Lilan's eyes and thought about Suzuki Sonoko's character. He vaguely guessed the truth and twitched his eyes twice.
Mao Lilan quickly went downstairs and grabbed Conan to encourage him.
Shiraishi himself is not scary at all, but this invitation, in addition to wanting him to relax, also contains a little bit of Suzuki Sonoko's selfishness. When he opened the invitation, Mao Lilan felt very guilty and short of breath.
Going downstairs, Mao Lilan knocked on Baishi's door. Fortunately, Baishi was not sleeping this time.
When Mao Lilan explained the magic exhibition to Shiraishi, Conan yawned, thinking that this time, Suzuki Sonoko would be disappointed.
——Shiraishi is currently suffering from being investigated by others.
Conan has observed that he never leaves home during this period, even if he is invited...
"OK."
Shiraishi looked at Mao Lilan with a smile: "You guys have taken the trouble. Since you got the ticket, I will pay for today's snacks and meals."
"..." Conan rolled his eyes. He almost forgot that Shiraishi didn't seem to be very good at rejecting others' kindness, especially since Mao Lilan was quite familiar with him.
Mao Lilan happily ran upstairs, packed her clothes, and prepared to go out.
Conan looked at her back, pulled Shiraishi, and after Shiraishi squatted down considerately, he whispered to him: "Didn't you say that you have been targeted recently? If you go out at this time..."
"Um." Shiraishi sighed, his eyes dim, "The matter has been resolved, that person has not appeared again, and the black cat said everything is fine."
...The only good news is that Haiyuan can be politely allowed to continue to hone his cooking skills and bring the trial products to his home.
"Really?" Conan was startled.
He had been paying close attention to the Shiraishi family's cafe these days, but apart from occasionally smelling a pungent smell, he didn't notice anything unusual.
and……
Is it an illusion? Even though the problem has been solved, why does Shiraishi seem not happy at all, even a little disappointed?
Conan thought for a long time and couldn't think of a reason.
In the end, I had to make a wild guess, thinking that Black Cat might have adopted less than legal means when "solving the problem", such as adding another cement pier containing too many impurities in Tokyo Bay...
Of course, it may also be because Black Cat once again said nothing, causing Shiraishi to be dissatisfied with the status quo of knowing nothing about him - people who have been detectives are very persistent in the truth, even if Shiraishi has an easy-going personality, at this point
, it should be the same.
Thinking of this, Conan suddenly sympathized with Shiraishi.
However, after careful consideration, Conan felt that he was more worthy of sympathy.
——Shiraishi is curious, but he can still ask questions directly.
And if Conan is curious, firstly, he can't find the black cat at all, and secondly, even if he finds it, after asking the question, what he is waiting for is most likely not an answer, but some anesthetic needle, anesthetic bomb, anesthetic handkerchief, etc.
It comes with a cabinet or bucket for a night trip.
But no matter what, it's good that the pursuer has been dealt with.
Conan then remembered the list of wanted criminals with "black" in their names that he had asked Dr. Ali to help check.
The list was too long. Conan and the doctor screened out adult males between the ages of 20 and 30, and checked the photos one by one. Some of the photos were blurry, and some had no photos at all.
They were almost bald after reading it. They have only finished less than a quarter of it and haven't found anyone suspected of being a black cat.
Until there is concrete evidence, it is better to calm down and regard the black cat as an ordinary enthusiastic citizen who has a little tougher tactics...
…
Shiraishi will go to the magic exhibition together, not because he is "not good at saying no".
In fact, for a good boy like Mao Lilan, there is no need to refuse the invitation at all - as long as he agrees with a little hesitation and shows some trouble, Mao Lilan may take the initiative to cancel the invitation.
And the reason why Shiraishi agreed happily... was of course because the task popped up again.
He even jumped twice.
[Rescuing the magic genius who avenged his brother x1]
[Rescue the magic genius who avenged his master x1]
After seeing off Mao Lilan and Conan, Shiraishi went home and turned on the light screen. When he saw these two titles, he almost thought that the system's network card was stuck.
After taking a closer look, I found that the details were different.
Although I'm not sure what the case is... I think we'll find out after we go to the magic exhibition with Mao Lilan.
…
The magic exhibition at Kexue World is actually quite interesting.
And no matter how skilled you are, the scene is grand and props are thrown up for free.
Shiraishi watched for a while, and suddenly noticed a humanoid object floating on the side of the venue, which he judged to be a soul.
The hall was very dark. Shiraishi leaned on his chair, turned on his mask, and used the virtual state to pass through the dense seats and crowds, preparing to find the soul and ask about the situation.
