Chapter 377 Conan Betrays Xiaolan
Kouji Shimizu didn't say anything, but he really cared about the news Conan said. After all, he was indeed a suitor.
Although he had repeatedly belittled and despised Maori Kogoro, with Xiaolan around, Koji Shimizu had to doubt whether Kisaki Eri would continue to wrong herself because of Xiaolan. After all, she had been wronged for more than ten years.
So, the worst result, of course, exists.
But now, of course, it is not necessarily the case.
"Why did you tell me this news? You are betraying your sister Xiaolan? She has absolute trust in you."
Kouji Shimizu's words were like mountains falling one after another, trying to put Conan under full psychological pressure.
And Conan, caught off guard, was indeed pressured by Koji Shimizu.
But it was only for a moment, and he returned to his normal expression, shook his head, and stated very seriously: "I just let it slip by accident."
"Hehe~"
Conan's eyes twitched, and then he broke the jar and threw it, "Whatever you say, Shimizu, anyway, I'm not just trying to exchange this news with you for something-"
"Well, although it's a bit sorry for Uncle Maori's care, he is indeed not a qualified husband and a competent father. I think if Xiaolan is thinking about her mother, then her choice is undoubtedly a mistake."
"But I'm not trying to help you!"
After Conan finished speaking, he hurriedly continued to distance himself from the matter, and when Shimizu Koji heard his explanations, he already knew it in his heart.
When Conan faced things other than Xiaolan and the case, his mind and reason were online. As a rational and normal person, it was not so strange that he would make such a choice and judgment.
However, what surprised Shimizu Koji was that Conan kept talking and continued to bring the topic to Xiaolan.
"Shimizu, what you said just now is right. Xiaolan does have an absolute trust in me--"
"But, do you know?! This trust... is, she has treated me as Kudo Shinichi!"
Conan clenched his fists, and he looked less calm. Well, when it comes to Xiaolan, this guy's mind is confused.
"Oh? You mean, you are exposed?"
"No, I think it should not be completely exposed yet."
Shimizu Koji blinked, picked up the water poured by Dr. Agasa, and drank it in small sips.
Conan's eyes trembled violently. Finally, he turned his head suddenly and said very seriously: "Shimizu, Xiaolan, she is definitely suspicious of me, but I can't reveal my identity!"
"So, I want to ask you for a favor, help me, get a temporary antidote from Huiyuan."
"Gu--"
After Conan finished speaking, he swallowed deeply. His urgent desire was almost beyond words. Even if any believer prayed to God, he would not be as humble and pious as he was at this moment.
"Please, Shimizu!"
If it was before, Shimizu Koji would have refused without hesitation, but Conan seized the opportunity after just a short hesitation and begged him.
"Tell me first, what do you plan to do with the antidote?"
After thinking for a moment, Shimizu Koji decided to give Conan a chance.
As for whether he could get the antidote from Haibara Ai, Shimizu Koji almost didn't have to think about it, it must be - yes~.
As for his own little wife, if she was coaxed and licked, she would naturally agree to anything.
Just like last night, under his lead, Haibara Ai accepted the suggestion of not eating breakfast like a cat, and ate a midnight snack, a fragrant white porridge~.
Conan heard this without hesitation and said directly: "I have thought about it. I plan to appear as Kudo Shinichi at the school festival in a while."
"Yeah - that's it?"
Shimizu Koji's simple questioning made Conan feel a little embarrassed, "What, what's wrong, is there a problem?"
"Didn't you say it last time? This matter."
Shimizu Koji's indifference made Conan feel like he had punched a cotton ball, "But didn't you agree last time?!"
"Didn't I tell you to go back and wait for news?"
"--Then, what about the news?!"
Conan was a bit of a nitpicker, because he couldn't help getting angry when he said this.
Tell him to wait for news, but he called and directly rejected it, right, Shimizu, you have the nerve to say that!
"News? Isn't there news? Well, I'll agree to it for the time being. How about it? Are you satisfied?"
Originally, it should be a touching scene where everyone is happy and Conan is grateful, but it was disturbed by Shimizu Koji's words. Conan's heart was in turmoil, and he just had a desire to complain.
But thinking that his fate was in Shimizu Koji's mind, Conan held it back for a long time, and finally held it back.
"Thank you-."
"You're welcome. Your news is indeed very valuable."
"I'm not trading intelligence with you."
Conan denied it weakly, and Shimizu Koji just smiled and shook his head, without commenting.
"If you say it's not, then it's not. Well, your goal should have been achieved. I'll go find her to get you medicine now~."
"Huh?!-Wait, wait!"
As soon as Shimizu Koji got up, Conan called him again.
"Anything else?"
"Ah-"
"Keep on stuttering. I don't have time to keep you company."
"Um, that, Shimizu, I want Haibara to dress up as me--"
Conan paused as he spoke, and was surprised and astonished to see that Shimizu Koji didn't refuse immediately.
"Shimizu."
"I'm listening."
"Can you help me explain?"
"Your reasons, and one more important thing, Ai won't help you live in the office. If you're thinking of that, forget it."
"Um, no, no, I just want her to help dress up as Conan, and wait until the day of the school festival, and you can bring her to meet Xiaolan and me."
"In this way, Kudo Shinichi and Conan will be two completely different people."
Conan was even a little excited at the end, although Shimizu Koji didn't know what to be excited about.
"Well, no problem, I can agree to it on her behalf."
"Really?!"
"I'm not lying to you, but you have to tell me the hotel your sister Xiaolan booked, the date, and the specific plan."
Conan's face suddenly fell, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that these are not a big deal. Anyway, Shimizu Koji will know sooner or later. He just accelerated this step.
"Well, I'm not helping you or anything. If uncle and aunt Fei still have a chance, I think Shimizu, you should stop interfering."
"Are you serious?"
"What do you mean?" Conan was stunned by the question.
"I mean, do you really want Uncle Maori to be your father? Instead of-me?"
Conan's little face instantly turned into a liver color. Shimizu Koji's words sounded like humiliation at first, but after listening carefully, it seemed to be really humiliating.
But, it just makes sense!
"Again, it has nothing to do with me anyway, Shimizu, you won't spread it around!"
"Haha~~"
"Shimizu! Please be serious!"
"So, in your heart, it's better for me to be your father-in-law, right?"
"No way! I just think Aunt Fei will be very painful."
Shimizu Koji was silent for a while, and didn't continue to laugh. He nodded in agreement. Conan also restrained the news, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy again.
"Okay, I'll go over and bring you good news later."
"Yeah."
"Don't just nod, prepare and organize well, how to perfectly betray your sister Xiaolan~."
"Hey, hey, I'm talking to you, how come you become so casual after going to London."
"It's easy to live like this, isn't it?"
"Uh"
