Chapter 239 The Competition Begins

Conan just came out of the room, and Mao Lilan just said hello to him and was about to leave, but unexpectedly Conan insisted and said he wanted to go with her.

Ran Mouri was in a dilemma. Conan was still sick, so how could she take him out?

But Conan refused. How could he leave Xiaolan, the charcoal-like creature that appeared out of nowhere, and go with her?

Conan stopped acting at this moment and started throwing a tantrum like a child.

"No, no, I just heard everything. I also want to go and see Uncle Maori solve the case."

Mao Lilan could only squat down and explain to him:

"Conan, be good. We are not going to look for my father. He is working now. Don't disturb him."

How could Conan agree to this? The piece of charcoal was still there. There was no way he could stay with Xiaolan under his nose.

Conan: "But isn't this Kurozumi brother here to challenge Shinichi brother? I can help contact Shinichi brother."

"It all depends on who can help Uncle Maori solve the case faster. Wouldn't that show who's more capable?"

Zero Hour: This kid really does everything he can.

Ling Cheng: Wow, I’m talking to myself. You really know how to have fun. Don’t forget that you still have a cold, OK?

Although Hattori Heiji was unhappy about being called "Kurotan" by Conan, he was still very interested in his proposal.

"That's a good suggestion, but kid, you can actually contact Kudo Shinichi?"

Mao Lilan also became suspicious and grabbed Conan's shoulders and said:

"Really, Conan? Do you know what Shinichi is doing? Tell me quickly."

Conan realized that he had said too much and hurriedly tried to make amends for himself.

"I don't know where Shinichi-nii is either. He's busy with a case and can't come back."

Conan stepped back guiltily. Fortunately, Ling Cheng came over and supported him, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.

Ling Shi shrugged helplessly and said:

"How would Conan know the whereabouts of that guy? It's just that Conan also likes reasoning and Sherlock Holmes, so he often chats with Kudo."

Conan immediately showed a look of gratitude, closed his eyes and didn't look at it at midnight. He was too lazy to spray and had to cover up for the idiot.

Ling Cheng also assisted:

"That's right, aren't we going to compete? I'll go with Conan so it's easier to take care of him."

Ran Mouri was also disappointed when she heard that she could not compete with Kudo Shinichi, but Hattori Heiji was much more excited about being able to compete with Kudo Shinichi.

Originally, Ran Mouri didn't plan to take them to her father's place, but when she thought that when Conan contacted Shinichi, she could catch him and ask him the questions she wanted to ask, she agreed.

Just based on Conan's message, Hattori Heiji still had some doubts. In the taxi, Hattori confirmed again:

"Speaking of which, can a little brat like you really help Kudo convey the message? Don't miss out on important information and then say I won unfairly."

Ling Cheng's expression was haha, don't worry, he is here and will not miss any information.

This time, Lingshi guy had a good reason not to come along because he said he had other things to do. If Ling Cheng hadn't seen him carrying a basket of potato chips before leaving,

On the other side, just as Ling Cheng expected, Midnight had already started his free time, clinking Coke glasses with the system while watching TV and eating snacks.

Lingshi clinked glasses with Coke, the system bit the straw and took a sip, and asked Lingshi if he really didn't need to worry about them anymore?

System: Host, do we really not need to follow you? We haven’t done any missions for a long time.

Midnight: Do you want to eat or not? If not, we will leave later and you won’t be able to eat.

When the system heard this, it didn't ask any more questions and just started to laugh. Its host was throwing a smokescreen for Ling Cheng and Conan. They were going out to play later!

Ling Cheng also arrived at the place. The house looked very luxurious. It seemed that this time it was the home of a diplomat. Ling Cheng complained in his heart that he was so rich and suggested to check it out.

Just as I was about to go in, suddenly, a police car came along.

Ling Cheng: No, please repeat it again, what did your dad come here to investigate?

"Sister Xiaolan, didn't you say that your uncle was here to check on the client's daughter-in-law? Why did a police car appear?"

Mao Lilan: "Yes, that's what Dad said. Maybe something happened."

Hattori Heiji and Conan wanted to go in directly, but the door was open and they couldn't stop the two of them. Before Mouri Ran could say anything to stop them, the three of them had already run away.

Ling Cheng had no choice, he had to keep an eye on Conan, and if he didn't run faster, the police would not let him in, which would be funny.

The three men ran in and saw a butler, who asked them directly who they were.

Hattori Heiji: "We are with that Mr. Maori. The police are outside. What happened?"

Ling Cheng: This guy is quite smart.

After hearing what Hattori said, the butler did not try to stop him. He pointed to the second floor and went out to greet the police.

Conan and Hattori Heiji, who got the direction, ignored him and went straight to the second floor. Ling Cheng was curious about what was going on, so he followed them.

As soon as he reached the door of the room, Ling Cheng saw several people standing aside, and Maori Kogoro was squatting beside the corpse watching.

It was Ling Cheng's first time seeing a corpse, but he didn't react much and just had no intention of going in.

Conan and Hattori Heiji were not so obedient. They rushed in directly, surrounded the corpse and started looking.

Ling Cheng: So, are all you detectives so wild? You took matters into your own hands at the crime scene before the police even checked it out.

Ling Cheng stood outside watching them collecting clues inside. The police outside also came up with Mao Lilan. This time, Ling Cheng didn't know the other policemen except Takagi, so he didn't say anything.

Mao Lilan saw Ling Cheng and quickly stepped forward and said:

"You guys are such a jerk! You just ran away in an instant! I couldn't even call you back."

Ling Cheng: "Sorry, I was too busy chasing Conan."

Mao Lilan: "Hey, where's Conan?"

Ling Cheng turned his head to look into the room and saw Conan being picked up by Hattori Heiji.

"Hey, how can you let a child in here and see a dead body? How can you see it?"

Ling Cheng: Didn’t you notice that he has been next to you the whole time? You all can come in and tell me what you think.

Ling Cheng and Mao Lilan came in, and Hattori put Conan next to Ling Cheng.

"Keep an eye on your brother."

Ling Cheng: "How can he help Kudo Shinichi find clues if he doesn't run away? Are you afraid of losing?"

"Ha, what are you talking about? Who can't stand losing? Run away if you want. I won't lose to Kudo Shinichi."

Ling Cheng almost grasped Hattori Heiji's character, and with just one sentence, he made Hattori Heiji no longer care about Conan running around.

Conan hurriedly gave Ling Cheng a thankful look, but Ling Cheng thought it was a trivial matter and urged:

"Go ahead and check it out. I'll also check around. Don't let me win you over."

Conan: "No way."
