In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 308 Anyone can sing better than Conan

"Why would Ahiko talk to Shinichi about this?"

Sonoko suddenly realized that she had no idea the two of them had reached the point where they were making international phone calls and chatting casually. Shinichi hadn't seen them get along that well before he left.

Akutagawa Hiko once again brought up his previous excuse: "I asked while we were discussing the case. I'm interested in traveling there in the future, but Shinichi said the desserts there are very sweet."

Sonoko didn't dwell on it. Instead, she remembered Akutagawa Hiko's plan and asked him on Ran's behalf what he meant by what he said earlier.

"Ran, you said that Mami told you that Shinichi's favorite food is lemon pie. Have you ever seen him do anything specifically to eat lemon pie?"

Speaking of this, Akutagawa Hiko felt that Ran was a bit too insecure.

However, this is inevitable.

After learning beforehand that Shinichi Kudo had confessed his feelings to Asami Uchida, he was outdone by Asami Uchida in every aspect except karate.

Her childhood friend, Uchida Asami, was unaware that Shinichi Kudo liked lemon pie; it was Uchida Asami, who had "no" reason to lie, who told her, which exacerbated her insecurity.

"Xiao Lan, you should know what he likes and dislikes to eat, right?"

Ran answered instinctively: "Shinichi likes to eat xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), loves to drink oolong tea, hates raisins, and doesn't like to eat garlic directly—"

Akutagawa Hiko shrugged and said with a smile, "See, you know him very well, don't you? Ran, you need to straighten up. Sonoko is right. No matter what happened in the past, Mami is not with Shinichi now."

Sonoko chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Shinichi calls you all the time, doesn't he? If you're really bothered by it, you can ask him. If you just can't bring yourself to say it, we can do it for you."

Ran looked at Sonoko, whose eyes were full of concern, and then at Akutagawa, who was encouraging her. She couldn't help but wipe her slightly reddened eyes: "No, it's not necessary. I'll wait for the day when he's willing to tell me."

Akutagawa glanced at Conan, who was secretly eavesdropping and keeping a close eye on the situation. He saw Conan nodding repeatedly. It seemed that even if Uchida Asami didn't reveal the truth this time, Conan would still come up with his own explanation.

"Oh my, this is the Ran I know! You're so amazing, let's see if Shinichi dares not to like you. Hiko and I will back you up."

Conan dared not voice any objections, and wholeheartedly agreed: "Ran-neechan, I support you and Shinichi-nii too!"

Ran smiled and patted Conan's head, but her smile quickly faded as Conan was about to go on stage to sing, the terrifying voice from Tatsuya Kimura's victory celebration still ringing in her ears.

The three of them quickly put on their earplugs.

After thinking for a moment, Akutagawa Hiko took out a pair of earplugs and placed them on the table. Anyone who wanted them could take them at any time. As long as they weren't stunned by Conan's singing immediately, they would have a chance to avoid further damage.

"I'm such a good person—"

After inwardly praising himself, Akutagawa Hiko glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was still early, and the ice clone hadn't sent the message back yet, but he wasn't worried at all. Anyway, the person was definitely alright. He just didn't know if he could persuade Uchida Asami to identify Sawai Manabu.

Although she paid attention to key evidence, it would undoubtedly be much easier if Uchida Asami directly accused Sawai Manabu.

Seeing that Conan had already walked onto the stage, Hayasaka Tomoko, somewhat bewildered by the behavior of Akutagawa Hiko and the other two, suspiciously reached for her earpiece beforehand.

As Conan's singing entered her ears, she shuddered; the terrifying sound almost devastated her hearing.

Almost reflexively, she grabbed the earplugs from the table. Only when the soft earplugs blocked out most of the sound did Tomoko Hayasaka's expression come back to life.

"I was ungrateful; this kind of singing should indeed be permanently banned!"

Hayasaka Tomoko was filled with regret; the resentment she felt towards herself a few minutes earlier almost transformed into a vengeful ghost in red, seeking to take her life.

The others weren't so lucky, especially Sawai Manabu, who was holding a beer. The glass fell to the ground, spilling beer everywhere.

Even so, he couldn't come to his senses. By the time Conan finished singing the entire ending theme song in high spirits and full of energy, there were already four stone statues on the scene.

Akutagawa Hiko was the first to notice that Conan had ended his Netherworld Sound Wave Technique. When he met Conan's eyes, which seemed to want to sing another song but were also very embarrassed, he felt a chill in his heart. He quickly led the three who were still alive to clap and then pulled Conan down.

"Xiao Lan, it's your turn!"

Under Ran's purifying singing, the three men and one woman who didn't even have time to grab the earplugs were finally freed from their petrified state. As expected, Ran is Conan's natural enemy.

The karaoke atmosphere became lively again, and no one dared to speak ill of Conan. Those who knew the truth had already warned them, but they themselves did not listen.

Moreover, they were genuinely afraid that Conan would go up and sing another song.

I'm afraid we'll really have to send them away then.

Sawai Manabu rested one hand on the back of his chair, watching Ran sing on stage as if she were venting her emotions, and his eyes darkened.

However, his main focus right now is on winning over Uchida Asami. Although he has the idea of ​​getting the girl in front of him, he won't take action immediately.

Sonoko pulled Akutagawa Hiko onto the stage and they sang "Turning the Wheel of Fate" together. While it wasn't particularly amazing, it was at least full of emotion and they didn't sing off-key. Compared to Conan, they received genuine applause.

"Ah Yan, I didn't know you were such a good singer."

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Akutagawa Hiko, whose level of achievement was barely passing at 60, was praised to the skies by Suzuki Sonoko.

"If Sonoko were to become an idol singer, she would definitely gain a huge number of fans, as you sing better."

Sonoko was flattered by the praise and couldn't help but imagine herself singing on stage in a trendy Lolita princess dress, surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women, and her eye immediately falling on Akutagawa Hiko, who was holding up a light stick in support.

"Hehehe————"

Akutagawa Hiko cruelly shattered Sonoko's fantasy, because she had gone too far and almost bumped into the decorative floor lamp next to her.

Sonoko wasn't embarrassed at all; in fact, she immediately wanted to take out her phone and ask a stylist to design a dress like this for her, and then have a costume designer make it according to her measurements.

She wanted to wear it for Akutagawa Hiko.

However, in order to surprise Akutagawa Hiko, she decided to keep it a secret for a while longer.

Conan sipped his juice and huddled together with Ran Mouri, looking at the familiar songs on the playlist, eager to try them out.

Although it's impossible for him to perform again, it's still nice to hear Xiaolan sing.

Time flew by and it was already three in the morning.
