“Sister Ran, Brother Shirakawa,”
Conan Edogawa switched to his innocent elementary school student mode, looking up and asking curiously, “Did something happen between you two last night?”
As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly stirred up a thousand waves in Ran Mouri’s heart.
She suddenly recalled her disgraceful behavior after getting drunk last night , she had actually tightly hugged Shirakawa, and even, even said she wanted to be Shirakawa’s mother!
Boom!
Ran Mouri’s cheeks instantly flushed so red they seemed about to drip blood.
She waved her hands repeatedly, stammering incoherently, “N-nothing!
Last night, nothing happened…”
Before she could finish, Shirakawa spoke up nonchalantly, “Last night, Miss Ran was fighting with Uncle Mouri for the alcohol.
She got drunk after just one can of beer.”
Got drunk?
Hearing these three words, Conan’s heart instantly turned cold, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
His mind uncontrollably began to wildly imagine.
Little Ran was drunk, a man and a woman alone in a room.
How could Shirakawa, a guy with such deep scheming, possibly let such a good opportunity slip by!
All sorts of unspeakable scenes flashed through Conan’s mind.
The look in his eyes when he glanced at Shirakawa instantly filled with vigilance and hostility.
At that moment, Shirakawa’s voice sounded again, carrying a trace of concern:
“Come to think of it, after Miss Ran got drunk last night, she went back to her room and barely ate anything.
She must be really hungry now, right?”
Her stomach was indeed much emptier than usual.
Ran Mouri subconsciously nodded repeatedly.
Hearing that she had “gone back to her room after getting drunk,” and seeing that Shirakawa’s tone and gaze were as normal as ever, the heavy stone that had been hanging in her heart finally settled.
So…
the incident of hugging Shirakawa last night was just a hallucination after she got drunk?
Thank goodness!
Ran Mouri secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the blush on her face faded considerably.
However, this relieved expression of hers, in Conan’s eyes, painted a completely different picture.
Conan didn’t believe a single word of Shirakawa’s story!
He firmly believed that Shirakawa must have taken advantage of Little Ran, and the reason Little Ran wasn’t saying anything was entirely because she was too embarrassed and ashamed to speak of it!
In Japan, how many vicious crimes were fueled because female victims were too ashamed to speak up, emboldening the criminals and allowing them to keep pushing their luck!
Alarm bells rang wildly in Conan’s heart!
He began uncontrollably imagining an even darker plot.
Shirakawa took advantage of Little Ran’s drunken slumber to commit indecent acts against her.
After Little Ran woke up, due to shame and fear, she didn’t dare to speak out and could only endure it silently.
This bastard!
Conan clenched his fists tightly.
He was determined to expose Shirakawa’s true nature and rescue Little Ran from her dire situation!
After finishing breakfast, Shirakawa proactively stood up and skillfully began clearing the bowls and chopsticks from the table, taking them to the kitchen to wash. This chapter was taken from novelping dot com without permission.
Ran Mouri’s gaze unconsciously followed that busy figure moving around in the kitchen.
The young girl’s heart was in turmoil.
If last night’s hug was just an illusion, then why did it feel so real?
Could it be…
that without even realizing it, she had already developed feelings for Mr.
Shirakawa…
This thought made Ran Mouri’s cheeks burn hot again.
And this furtive glancing of hers, in Conan’s eyes, became “hesitation and struggle over reporting the perpetrator.”
He couldn’t wait any longer!
Conan immediately moved closer to Ran Mouri, lowered his voice, and asked in a worried tone:
“Sister Ran, did Brother Shirakawa take advantage of you while you were drunk, like they do on TV?”
Ran Mouri’s face instantly flushed crimson.
Embarrassed and angry, she immediately scolded:
“Conan!
Don’t talk nonsense!
Mr.
Shirakawa is not that kind of person!”
This scolding, to Conan’s ears, sounded like an intense reaction after having her secret exposed.
It only made him more convinced of his own speculation!
Little Ran really was hiding something!
Conan’s expression instantly turned extremely serious.
Righteously and solemnly, he advised, “Sister Ran, you can’t do this!”
“The more you endure, the more he’ll just push his luck!”
“You must bravely step forward and make his crimes public!
Otherwise, you’ll only encourage crime!”
Wham!
Ran Mouri couldn’t take it anymore and directly gave Conan’s head a heavy punch.
“Stop watching those weird TV shows!”
“At such a young age, you’re not learning good things, just daydreaming all day!”
After saying that, as if to escape something, Ran Mouri Ran back to her room without looking back.
Conan covered the large bump swelling on his head, but a stubborn light flickered in his eyes.
He didn’t believe Shirakawa was innocent!
Little Ran drunk and asleep—this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Any man would be tempted to take a little advantage, let alone a guy like Shirakawa with unfathomable schemes and cunning!
Just as Conan was racking his brains, thinking of a way to make Little Ran tell the “truth,” Shirakawa had already finished washing the dishes and went downstairs.
A moment later, Ran Mouri also walked out of her room, carrying a backpack.
“Sister Ran, where are you going?” Conan asked, puzzled.
Shirakawa and me to play at her family’s wilderness villa for the next couple of days.”
What?!
Conan inwardly cursed Suzuki Sonoko fiercely.
That infatuated girl, actually arranging such a dangerous activity like sending a lamb into a tiger’s den!
Wasn’t this just delivering Little Ran straight into the mouth of Shirakawa, the big bad wolf!
No way, he absolutely couldn’t let them go out alone!
On the surface, Conan immediately put on a pitiful look.
Using his advantage as a child, he Ran over, tugged at Ran Mouri’s clothes, and whined, “I want to go too!
Let me go play too!”
Ran Mouri hesitated, “But…”
Conan’s brain worked rapidly, immediately finding an irrefutable reason.
He pointed at Kogoro’s room and said in a tone on the verge of tears, “If I stay with Uncle Mouri and he gets drunk, I might not even get dinner!”
This reason instantly hit Ran Mouri’s soft spot.
She thought about her own father’s unreliable nature, and it really was possible something like that could happen.
“Alright,” Ran Mouri sighed and reluctantly agreed, “Then you can come too, Conan.
But you have to behave, okay~”
Conan immediately nodded like pounding garlic.
Upstairs in the Detective Agency, Shirakawa packed his simple luggage , a backpack with a few changes of clothes.
Ran Mouri also stood at the door, carrying a backpack that looked quite full, looking lovely and wearing an expectant smile.
“Mr.
Shirakawa, let’s go!”
“Okay.” Shirakawa nodded and followed Ran Mouri downstairs.
Noticing Conan following behind, also carrying a small backpack, clearly going along too.
Shirakawa didn’t mind.
After all, this wilderness villa trip only included him, Ran Mouri, Sonoko, and Conan.
No outsiders.
No matter how powerful the Shinigami’s aura was, it couldn’t just conjure up a dead person out of thin air, right?
