Chapter 438 It's You
Moreover, Sonoko is a girl with a strong personality. She has always been pursuing handsome guys, and this hobby will never change.

Even after she got her boyfriend-to-be, Kyogoku Makoto, she still didn't get rid of this bad habit.

As for crying and shedding tears...

Sonoko is a woman with a relatively fragile personality. It's normal for her to cry a lot, right?
She almost died when she was attacked by that scumbag Masahiko.

After being rescued, Yuanzi burst into tears.

To sum up, all four conditions are met, so Sonoko must be the one Shinichi likes.

"...Ahem!"

When Yuanzi heard what Xiaolan said, she was choked and started coughing in pain.

After she recovered, she said unhappily, "That mystery geek doesn't like a young lady like me. For the same reason, I don't like that idiot either."

"There's absolutely no chance between Shinichi and I, do you understand, Ran?"

"Huh? Is that so?"

Xiaolan was confused.

If even the only correct answer, 'Sonoko', is ruled out, then who is the woman that Shinichi likes?

Xiaolan was puzzled, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

"Sister Xiaolan, don't think about it anymore." Seeing Xiaolan being so silly, Ze Yu finally couldn't help it.

He shook his head and smiled: "The person that Shinichi-nii likes is you."

Hearing this, Xiaolan blinked.

The next moment, her face quickly turned red, and steam seemed to come out of her head, turning her into a steam princess.

"……Eh?!"

Conan's face also turned red and he was very shy. Just when he was about to fool people by saying "ah lie lie" and change the subject, he was stopped by a casual look from Ze Yu.

Conan opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.

Xiaolan widened her eyes and stammered, "This is impossible..."

Her voice trailed off.

After a while, Xiaolan seemed to remember something and said with a red face: "Wait, I'm not a willful and crybaby girl!"

After hearing what Xiaolan said, Sonoko fell silent. A big question mark popped up on her head, and even the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

She was complaining madly in her mind.

So, Xiaolan, what are you thinking that makes you think Shinichi likes me?
In your eyes, am I a willful and crybaby little girl?
Xiaolan didn't realize that she had accidentally hurt Sonoko. At this moment, she was arguing with a red face: "The person Shinichi likes is definitely not me!"

She would never admit that she was a willful and crybaby girl.

Seeing Xiaolan's argument, everyone in the car, except Conan whose face was still blushing, smiled knowingly and did not continue to tease her.

Even Sonoko, who was originally a little sulky, couldn't help but calm down when she saw Xiaolan's look and revealed a helpless smile.

Xiaolan is really silly and cute.

.........

After resolving the incident at senior Mami's birthday party, everyone's lives returned to normal.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

There seemed to be no cases happening this week, and Zeyu's Worry-Relieving Hut did not receive any new emails.

Everything seemed to be back to normal.

Until Conan called. "Xiao Yu!" Conan said excitedly on the phone: "Come with me to take a sea bath on the weekend!"

Hearing this, Ze Yu frowned slightly.

The so-called "sea bathing" refers to soaking or swimming in the sea, which is a way of exercising the body.

"Why did you suddenly invite me?" Ze Yu asked suspiciously, "I always feel that you have a strong purpose. Do you have something to ask of me?"

It's impossible that Conan would invite Ze Yu to swim with him for no reason. He must have something to bother him with.

After all, a fool like Conan basically won't take the initiative to invite others.

Xiaolan had dated Shinichi several times, but most of those opportunities were initiated by Xiaolan herself.

Conan doesn't understand girls' minds at all. He won't even take the initiative to invite Xiaolan, let alone Zeyu.

Although Conan had previously invited Ze Yu to go to the painting club together, the painting club is the painting club and swimming is swimming, these are two completely different things.

"Because of Xiaolan." Conan answered honestly: "The day before yesterday in the middle of the night, when I got up to go to the bathroom, I saw Xiaolan secretly calling someone and agreed on a time."

"When I asked Xiaolan who that person was, she said it was a friend of hers."

"Yesterday afternoon, Xiaolan suddenly invited me and Uncle Maori to go bathing in the sea. Uncle Maori didn't want to go, but Xiaolan kept trying to persuade him. In the end, she even used the killer move of using the beauties on the beach to attract Uncle Maori and made him agree to Xiaolan's plan."

Conan's tone became a little nervous.

"This is very strange no matter how you look at it. Xiaolan must be planning to meet up with that friend while going to the beach!"

"Xiao Yu, I want you to come with me to find out the identity of Xiao Lan's friend who suddenly showed up out of nowhere!"

At this point, Conan's tone revealed a deep sense of jealousy, and he was obviously very jealous.

The Jealous King is jealous again.

"You start again, are you jealous? Are you a lemon?" Ze Yu rolled his eyes and started to troll: "Xiao Lan used beautiful women to attract Uncle Maori and forced Uncle Maori to agree to her plan. Isn't this a very normal thing?"

"Earlier, Uncle Maori was reluctant to attend Mami's birthday party. Wasn't he persuaded by Xiaolan's words that there were beautiful female college students at the birthday party?"

"Besides, isn't it normal for Xiaolan to have a friend? You don't even know whether Xiaolan's friend is a boy or a girl, and you're already jealous?"

"You're nosy too much!"

After the words fell, Conan on the other end of the phone blushed: "Hmm..."

After half a second, he simply gave up and said directly: "Xiao Yu, just tell me whether you are willing to help me!"

"Tsk." Ze Yu curled his lips and was too lazy to pay attention to this guy Conan.

But in the end, he softened his heart and agreed to Conan's invitation.

"Okay, I'll go with you on the weekend, but please remember..."

"You were the one who begged me to go there." Ze Yu added this deliberately, emphasizing his tone.

The old arrogant one.

"I know." Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Xiaoyu agreed, he didn't bother with the other details.

.........

The next day, the weekend.

On the wide road, a car whizzed past, and the driver was Uncle Maori.
