Conan: Becoming the Boss Starting with Winning Over Ran

Page 9

After all, he had been unhappy with Shinichi Kudo for so long, yet he didn't stop Ran from continuing to see him.

Kogoro Mouri may have many flaws, but he surpasses most parents in respecting their children's wishes.

When we arrived at the entrance of Dorobiga Park, there were still ten minutes until 2 p.m.

Hoshimiya Hayao and Ran waited for a while before Shinichi Kudo arrived.

"Shinichi, over here."

Xiaolan waved to signal, and the three of them met up and bought tickets together to enter the park.

Dorobiga Park is more like an amusement park than a tropical paradise.

Compared to the tropical scenery that was heavily promoted, attractions such as the carousel and Ferris wheel were even more popular.

Shortly after entering the park, Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but whisper to Ran, "Ran, what's Hoshimiya-sensei doing here?"

"I invited him."

Xiaolan said calmly, "If you suddenly leave again because of the case, or simply forget our agreement today, I won't be left all alone here playing."

"Uh……"

It was indeed excessive for Shinichi Kudo to leave Ran's final match without permission yesterday. Knowing he was in the wrong, he laughed awkwardly twice and moved on from the topic.

This was only the second time Hoshimiya Hayao and Kudo Shinichi had met, and they didn't have much to talk about.

Hoshimiya Yu wasn't interested.

Just now, he saw a familiar black color.

Gin's all-black outfit paired with his flowing white hair was truly a classic, leaving a deep impression on Hoshimiya Yu.

However, contrary to his memory, Gin was accompanied not only by vodka, but also by two other foreigners carrying bags.

Dressed entirely in black, they're probably also members of the Black Organization.

The two carrying bags parted ways with Gin and the other two under the Ferris wheel, seemingly having different missions.

Hoshimiya Yu wanted to continue observing, but Gin's intuition was incredibly sharp.

Even from this distance, and despite his efforts to conceal himself with the crowd, he still managed to attract Gin's attention.

Fortunately, Gin and his friends were dressed in a way that didn't fit in with the other people who came to the park, so many passersby looked at them out of curiosity.

After a moment of confusion, Gin didn't delve into it further.

Even so, Hoshimiya Yu withdrew her gaze and stopped paying attention to Gin.

He doesn't want to deal with the distillery for the time being, even though there are many key figures there with whom he can interact.

The distillery is too dangerous, and the potential rewards are disproportionate to the risks.

Shinichi Kudo simply disliked Hagumi Hoshimiya.

Aside from the unpleasantness of their first meeting, part of the reason was that he felt Hoshigumi Yu was uninteresting.

Shinichi Kudo had already summarized Hoshimiya Hayao's observations using Sherlock Holmes's methods of observing people.

In short, he is a child from a poor family who finally got a good job through his own efforts.

Compared to ordinary people and events, mystery-solving and cases full of various enigmas are much more interesting.

Xiaolan noticed the tense atmosphere between the two and tried to ease it.

"Shinichi, Hoshimiya-nii-san, there's a roller coaster over there, let's go ride it."

Xiaolan didn't give the two a chance to speak and jogged towards the roller coaster.

Even with me on the list, will our fate remain largely unchanged?

While Hoshimiya Yu was deep in thought, Kudo Shinichi had already caught up with Ran.

Seeing this, he quickened his pace.

If I remember correctly, the roller coaster seats were supposed to be just right; if you arrived late, you might not have been able to participate in the roller coaster case.

Then all his plans over the past few days would have been for nothing.

The author says:

Author's note: I won't be posting illustrations of the male characters~

I doubt anyone is interested in gin and vodka.

012 It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words.

The roller coaster ride is very popular, and there are long queues.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Shinichi Kudo reverted to his old ways and began to ramble on about his reasoning knowledge.

"Xiao Lan, do you know how amazing Sherlock Holmes is? The first time he met his assistant Watson, he could tell just by shaking hands..."

Seeing Shinichi Kudo's excited and self-indulgent appearance, Ran sighed softly, her previously good mood instantly turning sour again.

"Hmm, hmm, I see, that's really impressive."

While Ran was giving Shinichi a perfunctory answer, she couldn't help but think about how she had spent time with Hoshimiya Hare these past few days.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there was nothing particularly special about being with Hoshimiya-nii-san, but I just felt very comfortable.

At least I won't feel as impatient as I do now.

Speaking of which, how did I manage to put up with Shinichi back then?

Watching Xiaolan drift off into her own thoughts and give a perfunctory answer without any real effort, Xing Gongyu couldn't help but laugh from behind.

But Shinichi Kudo seemed oblivious, and instead became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.

He then reached out to shake the hand of a beautiful woman in the queue in front of him.

"Kudo-kun, I know a little about what you're talking about."

Hoshimiya Yu suddenly interrupted, cutting off Shinichi Kudo's rude behavior.

"Huh?" Shinichi Kudo was taken aback.

In that moment of surprise, the long-haired beauty, wearing a light blue coat, with a tall figure and long, straight legs exposed under her short skirt, also came to her senses.

Her slender little hand dodged Shinichi Kudo's sudden attack, and she looked over with a mixture of surprise and embarrassment.

"Sir, I don't think we know each other."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Shinichi Kudo explained, "Miss, you're a gymnast, right? I just wanted to feel the calluses on your palms to confirm."

"I am indeed a gymnast. How did you know?"

Surprised, the long-haired beauty was no longer angry and asked curiously.

"Because when we were outside, a gust of wind blew up your skirt, revealing the dark mark near your inner thigh."

Xing Gongyu spoke first: "That kind of mark can only be found on gymnasts who have practiced on the parallel bars, horizontal bars and uneven bars for a long time."

A blush flashed across the long-haired beauty's pretty face.

The gust of wind came suddenly. Although she quickly covered her skirt and her panties were not exposed, her thighs were indeed seen.

Honestly, she definitely wouldn't wear such a short skirt if it weren't for the convenience of moving around later.

"Teacher Hoshimiya, so you really do know about this."

Shinichi Kudo's eyes lit up, as if he had found a kindred spirit.

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

Hoshimiya Yu smiled and started chatting with Kudo Shinichi.

Hoshimiya Yu is actually quite interested in mystery novels, otherwise she wouldn't have watched so many episodes of "Detective Conan" in her past life.

He had also read some of Shinichi Kudo's Sherlock Holmes stories, and he happened to remember this particular famous one.

Shinichi Fujiwara isn't a good match for Ran, but he's still quite capable, so it's good to cultivate a good relationship with him.

Overall, this high school detective is a good person, just a bit too righteous and self-centered.

Most importantly, Shinichi Kudo is also related to his future system rewards, so in order to make better use of this tool, it is more appropriate to maintain a superficial good relationship.

Of course, this is all on the premise that Shinichi Kudo doesn't provoke him.

If a conflict of interest or even personal safety arises, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

I vaguely remember Xing Gongyu. Xiao Lan had a great reputation in the early stages, but later she was criticized for being too kind and too saintly.

It's highly likely that it's because of Shinichi Kudo's influence.

Shinichi Kudo's sense of justice is something most people can't learn; it's so righteous it's almost wicked.

Hoshimiya Yu was somewhat relieved that she had met Ran before the story began.

With him around, it's impossible for Xiaolan to become like that.

As a phoenix, one should be clear about gratitude and resentment and be decisive in killing!

Watching Hoshimiya Hayao and Kudo Shinichi chatting happily, Ran silently took a step back and then gave a grateful smile.

In her view, Hoshimiya Yu had seen through her thoughts and, in order not to put her in a difficult position, took the initiative to ease the tension between her and Kudo Shinichi.

At the same time, it also freed her from those boring and tedious topics.

"Hoshimiya-nii-san is such a considerate and gentle person."

"Compared to him, Shinichi is too selfish."

Xiao Lan thought to herself silently.

"Make way, make way, we were here first!"

Suddenly, a rough voice rang out from the back of the group.

Then, two burly men dressed in black walked through the queue and came to the front.

Some people naturally don't like being cut in line, but when they see Vodka with his fierce face and burly build, they all choose to silently give way.

Just then, the previous roller coaster ride ended, and at the very front of the line were a long-haired beauty practicing gymnastics and her friend.

The roller coaster has eight seats in total, arranged in pairs.

Hoshimiya Hayao and Kudo Shinichi were in the second row, followed by Ran and a couple.

Vodka counted the number of people and grabbed the blond guy from the couple.

"You're next."

The blond-haired guy, who was getting intimate with his delinquent girlfriend, was furious and about to explode, but when he saw Volt's strong physique, he immediately backed down.

But thinking of all the people watching, and his girlfriend right there, he mustered his courage and said, "Sir, I'm with my girlfriend. Look, there's another one up ahead..."

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

Seeing that the blond kid dared to disobey, Vodka grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

“Vodka,” Gin’s icy voice rang out, “Don’t cause any more trouble.”

"yes, Sir."

Vodka lowered his clenched fist and reluctantly put the blond-haired man down.

Vodka lifted him up as easily as if he were a chick, and the blond guy was almost scared to death.

Seeing that he hadn't been beaten, he immediately bowed and apologized.

“Smith Marseille, it was my fault for being inconsiderate. I’ll find you two a seat right away.”

Huang Mao stepped forward and said to Xiao Lan, "Little girl, didn't you see that my brother and his two brothers are going to sit here? Since you're alone, you can go sit down next time."

"Ah, no, it was with my two friends..."

"Lan." Seeing that Xiao Lan was being bullied, Xing Gongyu immediately rushed over.

Shinichi Kudo belatedly realized what was happening and ran back.

"You two want to show off?"

The blond-haired man deliberately insulted, "Three people, two men and one woman, and you left the girl alone in the back. Are you gay, or are you just spineless?"
