Chapter 518: Conan was taken away by Kaito Kid?
The two looked at each other.

"Ah..."

Hearing Xiaolan's words, Shinichi's breathing subconsciously paused for a second.

Then, he reacted and forced a stiff smile: "Xiaolan, have you forgotten? Conan is sleeping in the room."

"Really?" Xiaolan looked at him suspiciously, then walked past him and walked towards the room: "Then I'll go see if Conan is still in the room!"

"Wait, Xiaolan!"

Shinichi was almost scared to death and quickly grabbed Xiaolan's arm.

"Why are you stopping me?" Xiaolan turned her head, stared into his eyes and said seriously.

"Conan needs to rest, so let's not disturb him." Shinichi forced an explanation.

His explanation was very forced, but he couldn't find a better explanation for the time being.

Shinichi could only hope that Ran wouldn't pursue the matter further and leave it at that.

But how could Xiaolan fulfill his wish?

"It's okay, I just went over to take a look at the situation and change Conan's towel." Xiaolan said gritting her teeth.

"Xiao Lan..." Shinichi was extremely anxious, his face looked reluctant, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What, you're speechless?"

Xiaolan shook off Shinichi's hand and sneered, "Are you still not going to tell the truth, Shinichi?"

"The truth? What truth?" Shinichi decisively played dumb, just like Tanaka before, refusing to admit it until evidence was produced.

"Don't play dumb, I'm not that easy to fool!" Xiaolan's eyes flashed with determination: "Normally, I can still bear it and pretend that I didn't find out your identity."

"But you actually appeared in front of me today in the image of Shinichi. How can I continue to pretend that I know nothing?"

When Xiaolan said this, her tone revealed a sense of grievance.

Normally, she could still act with Conan, but today, Conan appeared in the image of Shinichi.

Isn't this a provocation to her?

Xiaolan couldn't bear it any longer.

She has always had a lot of things she wanted to say to Shinichi, but for various reasons, even though she knew that Conan was Shinichi, she could not reveal this identity.

Whatever I want to say, I have to keep it in my stomach.

As time passed, Xiaolan had more and more things to say, and her emotions became richer and richer, but she had no way to express them.

This feeling is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

Until now, Shinichi's appearance was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Xiaolan could no longer control her emotions and decided to have a showdown.

As for what the consequences would be, she didn't care!

"orchid……"

Shinichi's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to speak, but the words got stuck in his throat.

Could it be that Xiaolan has always known my identity?
Shinichi thought about this and felt a complicated feeling in his heart.

Surprise, horror, helplessness...

His heart was like a mixture of spices, with a mixture of all kinds of emotions.

"Shinichi, stop pretending." Xiaolan said loudly: "You can't fool me, Conan is Shinichi, Shinichi is Conan, I have always known it!" "Since you appeared with the identity of Shinichi, Conan must have disappeared, right?" Xiaolan forced a smile and reached out to touch Shinichi's forehead.

"Lan, what are you doing?" Shinichi took a step back shyly.

"As expected." Xiaolan said with a serious look, "Conan has a cold, and you have a cold too. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?"

"Do you remember? The last time Conan caught a cold, Shinichi showed up, and he was also suffering from a cold."

"When Shinichi showed up, Conan disappeared, and when Shinichi disappeared, Conan reappeared... How could I not notice something so obvious?"

"Shinichi, do you really think I'm so easy to fool?" Xiaolan's face became more and more determined, and there was a hint of aggressiveness in her tone.

In fact, Xiaolan had never noticed these details before. It was not until later that she knew Conan's identity and recalled what had happened before that she had a rough guess in her mind.

Until now, everything in front of her has further confirmed Xiaolan's guess.

Without waiting for Shinichi to answer, she continued, "Shinichi, both times you appeared were when you had a cold. Can I assume that when you have a cold, you will change from Conan back to Shinichi?"

"Xiaolan, stop joking." Shinichi reacted and said quickly: "This is just a coincidence, Conan..."

In a hurry, he thought of a clever idea and shouted: "Conan was taken away by Kaito Kidd!"

"Kaito Kidd? Stop joking, how could he come here?" Xiaolan looked incredulous.

"I didn't lie to you." Shinichi said without hesitation: "That guy Doi Takeki is Kaito Kid in disguise!"

Don't blame him for being unsportsmanlike and decisively betraying the identity of his temporary teammate. All we can say is that Shinichi had no intention of making friends with a thief.

He is just a despicable thief. He has been betrayed, so what?
Rather, he should feel fortunate that the existence of Kaito Kidd can help him hide his identity.

At least this thief is not completely useless.

"Really?" Xiaolan still refused to believe it and said directly: "Then I will go and ask him in person..."

At this time, a voice sounded: "Don't look for me, I'm here."

call!
A breeze blew, and a white figure appeared at the end of the corridor. He stood straight in front of the window, the brim of his hat covering his face, and the white cloak behind him danced in the breeze.

A feeling of elegance arises spontaneously.

"... Kaito Kidd?"

Shinichi and Xiaolan both turned around and looked at the figure in shock.

Shinichi never expected that Kaito Kidd would suddenly appear at this time without any disguise.

Xiaolan had the same idea.

"Good evening, both of you." Kaito Kid waved his hand and said with a smile: "First of all, let me make it clear that I only target gems and have no interest in children~"

Xiaolan turned her head, looked at Shinichi, and asked sternly: "Shinichi! How are you going to explain this time?"

"I..." Shinichi was silent. He glared angrily at Kaito Kid in the distance.

Bastard, why don't you just take the blame? Why do you have to come out and ruin my good thing?
Although Kaito Kid, who was standing at the end of the corridor, did not have the ability to read minds, he was good at observation and could easily see Shinichi's emotions from his eyes.

So, Kaito Kidd laughed.

Good guy, just let me take the blame. If I don’t let you get what you want, you’ll be unhappy?

Still glaring at me?
Can't afford to play like that?
I'm not interested in playing house with you here!
