Conan: After teaching the protagonist, they offered their loyalty.

Chapter 170: Let's soak in the hot spring together.

Watching the two leave with such a flimsy excuse.

Conan's deathly eyes revealed a deep sense of confusion, then he followed, his shorts tucked into his pocket, his glasses gleaming...

Although he didn't know why the other party did this, Conan naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass him by.

This might be the closest he's ever come to joining the organization.

Moreover... he also discovered many suspicious points in their conversation.

Why does Ah Zhen think highly of him, but not contact him?

Is it because he's a primary school student?

No, that's not right... Back then, Uchi-chan, who had a tattoo near her eye, even said that Jin was planning to recruit her into the organization...

However, Shengege did not mention it at all.

Masaka... An incredulous thought flashed in Conan's eyes.

It's absurd... but it's true.

Despite being a primary school student, he demonstrated exceptional reasoning and observation skills...

Even though I'm Shinichi Kudo shrunk... but they don't know that, do they?

In the eyes of Shen Gege and A Jin, they might be the only reasoning genius to appear in Japan in the last hundred years.

Let alone being like him, ask yourself, what elementary school student can do what he does, or be like him?

The reason why Shengege has been obstructing him is very likely that his joining might affect the other party's status.

After all... one's talent is undeniable.

However, part of the reason is also because I'm a primary school student...

The latter only accounts for 10% of Conan's mind; after all... once suspicion arises, it's hard to shake off.

Conan's inner thoughts gradually began to mock and chuckle at Hei Shen'er...

"Wait, why is that kid following us?" Chianti felt a little flustered.

Cohen, being pulled along by Chianti, was wearing sunglasses and remained silent, but his pale face revealed his fear.

From the conversation just now, we learned that this elementary school student... is the naturally evil brat that Vodka mentioned!

The group left the hotel without even taking their luggage, got into a black muscle car, and started...

"Hey, wait a minute!" Conan's pace quickened, and he even used his high-tech shoes to catch up.

He jumped a distance of nearly thirty meters.

Is this guy really seven years old?!

Chianti and Cohen's eyes bulged out.

Beep beep beep...

Just then, the phone rang.

Chianti held the keys in one hand and answered the phone with the other.

"Chianti, where have you and Cohen been again?" Vodka's boisterous voice came from inside. "I just checked the mission list, and you haven't finished your mission yet."

"We'll talk about this later... We ran into Edogawa... Conan!" Chianti's voice was tinged with fear.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Conan's face gradually contorted with his eagerness to know the truth.

"Edogawa Conan... What, you ran into him?" Vodka's expression also turned serious.

As for that naturally evil brat... Vodka dares to say he knows him better than anyone else; if he says he's number one, no one dares to say they're number two.

"He... he's chasing us." Cohen's speech quickened, startled by Conan's appearance, and he said with a hint of fear, "He's catching up!"

Click... The phone was hung up.

Vodka's legs trembled when he heard Cohen's voice... and his phone fell to the ground and slid to the other side.

Normally, Cohen is not a talkative person... whether he's on a mission or shot, he doesn't say a word.

But this time, I heard a terrified voice from the other party. What does that mean?

This means... the situation has reached an extremely urgent point!

.........

inside the room.

Fukugoro, who was only wearing a towel over his private parts, was about to go to the hot spring.

Since I was new to the place, and the hotel was rather large...

Fuheshen searched around for a while but couldn't find the entrance. However, perseverance pays off.

After seeing the open-air hot spring, I went straight in.

Once inside, you can clearly see the wispy water vapor...

"Squeak...squeak..."

The branches trembled.

Fuheshchen glanced at it indifferently, then a monkey jumped out from the tree branch, looked at Fuheshchen a few times, cried out a few more times, and disappeared into the mountains.

"Monkey..." Fuheishener withdrew his gaze and walked into the hot spring... choosing a comfortable position to soak in.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the hot spring.

Ran put her hair up and soaked in the hot spring, but she looked a little nervous and uneasy. "Ai...did you hear what happened just now?"

It was supposed to be the off-season, so there weren't many people at this hot spring.

When Ai and I arrived here, there were only two of us.

Coupled with the commotion just now, it reminded her of the monsters in the mountains who specialize in creating illusions to eat people soaking in hot springs.

Especially girls.

"Maybe... monkeys or something?" Unlike Ran, Ai maintained a consistently calm and indifferent expression. "This is an open-air hot spring; there are quite a few snow monkeys here..."

"Oh, I see." Ran breathed a sigh of relief, scratching her cheek a little sheepishly. "Ai doesn't seem scared at all..."

Ai glanced at the other person indifferently, "I'd say I'm a somewhat wavering materialist... everything can be explained by science."

Xiaolan's eyes widened after hearing this...

Shen said... If Ai has shrunk, could it be true?

"Ai...do you have a boy you like at school?" Ran glanced at the aloof girl and asked softly.

"..." Ai shook her head gently, "Those children will never be my romantic partners."

"So what kind of boy do you like?" Xiaolan hesitated for a moment before asking.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination... but she felt that Ai really liked Shinobu.

It's not the kind of liking that children have... it's more like the liking of adults.

"Cold on the outside but warm on the inside, makes me feel safe...not very good at expressing herself..." Xiao Ai thought for a full two minutes, "When I'm most desperate...or in a bad mood, she always tries to cheer me up in various ways, and when I'm in the most danger...she protects me at all costs."

Xiaolan's eyes glazed over after hearing that...

The person Ai was talking about... seems so familiar... It's...

Splat...

"Squeak, squeak."

The monkey's terrified scream rang out, and Xiaolan's heart tightened instantly.

Animal screams can always evoke a sense of panic in people.

Ai seemed to be affected as well, her icy blue eyes looking towards the other side of the hot spring.

Because of the high humidity, the two of them couldn't see very clearly.

Then... a tall figure approached, holding a monkey in its hand...

A strong and tall physique, a calm and cold face... and a scar on the corner of his mouth.

Ran and Ai Haibara were stunned for a moment after seeing it, then their cheeks flushed crimson...

Why would someone like that appear in the women's hot spring area?!
