Chapter 137: Advice Garden, Xiao Lan Thinks Again (Ch 137)

After hearing Xiaolan’s words, everyone’s eyes fell on Mochizuki. It turned out that the code was not cracked by Detective Maori, but by this young man named Mochizuki?

Mochizuki was modest. He was no longer the same as before, and he didn’t want to argue with Kogoro. “To be precise, Mr. Maori and I cracked it together.”

“Yes, yes, yes, we cracked it together.” Kogoro quickly agreed.

The more I look at Mochizuki, the more I like him! Kogoro praised him in his heart.

Conan, however, is full of hostility towards Mochizuki.

He thought that cracking the code was his specialty, but he didn’t expect to lose to Wangyue, and he felt very unwilling. What made him even more upset was that Xiaolan was still protecting Wangyue and speaking for her.

In fact, Conan misunderstood. Xiaolan was not particularly protective of Mochizuki. If Kogoro had been trying to steal someone else’s credit, Xiaolan would have stood up and accused him. This was out of a sense of justice and had nothing to do with who the other party was.

But at this moment, out of jealousy, Conan thought that Xiaolan was deliberately protecting Mochizuki.

…

Kogoro discussed countermeasures with the police. Sonoko called Xiaolan aside and asked, “Xiaolan, didn’t Shinichi come today?”

“Shinichi? Why is he here?” Xiaolan felt very strange.

Sonoko said mysteriously, “Because I sent an email to Shinichi yesterday. I told him that if he cared about you, he should come here this afternoon. Didn’t he come? Damn it, I wanted to see a good show.”

Xiaolan was confused, “What’s the show?”

Sonoko giggled, “Of course it’s to see him and Mochizuki fighting over a beauty like you, Xiaolan. It must be very interesting to see two men fighting over a beauty like you, Xiaolan.”

“What are you talking about? Fighting over me?”

“Xiaolan, you don’t know, right? Hehe…” Just as Sonoko was about to explain, she suddenly noticed a little kid standing next to her with his neck stretched out and his ears almost touching her. “Hey, kid, get out of here. Don’t listen to a girl’s whisper.”

The little brat with his neck stretched out is naturally Conan. He wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation between Sonoko and Xiaolan, but was ruthlessly expelled by Sonoko. Sonoko then said to Xiaolan: “Actually, Xiaolan, Mochizuki likes you…”

Xiaolan’s expression froze for a moment, then she smiled, “Yuanzi, don’t talk nonsense.”

“I’m not talking nonsense. I still have the recording here. It’s the conversation between Mochizuki and I that I secretly recorded after you escaped last time.” Sonoko took out a pair of headphones and put them on Xiaolan, then played the recording on her phone.

Xiaolan heard Sonoko’s voice, “Mochizuki, tell me the truth, do you like Xiaolan?”

Is the question so direct? Xiaolan’s heart was pounding. Then she heard Wangyue’s voice, “Well, I do like her.” Xiaolan was stunned by this.

Mochizuki…likes me?

No, no, this must be a misunderstanding… just like the wall-dong incident. There are many kinds of love, and what Mochizuki is talking about must be the kind between friends. Yes, it must be like this.

Sonoko’s voice sounded again, “Huh? Do you really like her?”

“Yes, I really like it. What’s wrong?”

“My God, you are too frank, aren’t you? You don’t even deny it?”

“This is the truth, why should I deny it?”

“Then why don’t you confess to Xiaolan?”

“It’s not the right time yet. She still has Kudo Shinichi in her heart.”

“Well… that’s true…”

After the recording was finished, Xiaolan was completely stunned. Because the following conversation made it very clear that the love that Mochizuki was talking about was not the kind between friends, but the kind between men and women.

“Mochizuki…really likes me? Why?” Xiaolan seemed to be completely unable to understand.

“Why do I need a reason? Xiaolan, you are cute, kind, and independent. Which boy would not like you?”

“Ah? Is that so?” Xiaolan seemed surprised.

Sonoko got angry when she saw Xiaolan acting silly, but she was not angry at Xiaolan, but at Shinichi.

“That bastard Shinichi! So cunning! He has always been by your side since you were little, and he has kept all the boys away. He seems to be protecting you, but in fact he is occupying you! He has made you lose confidence in your relationship and you have no idea how popular you are.” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Yuanzi gritted her teeth, “It would be fine if he really wanted to date you, but after he fended off other boys, he refused to confess his feelings and just kept you hanging like this! You have no choice but to revolve around him, it makes me so angry!”

Xiaolan laughed a little at a loss, “It’s not as exaggerated as you said, right?”

“It’s so exaggerated!” Sonoko pressed Xiaolan’s shoulder, “You are too humble in front of Shinichi, I can’t stand it! Can you be more confident! Ran! You have to be independent in emotional matters, just like you are independent in life. You are the high and mighty goddess Maoli Ran, you are not Shinichi’s personal property!”

Xiaolan didn’t agree with what Yuanzi said, but Yuanzi’s anxious look touched Xiaolan deeply.

She could see that Sonoko was very worried about her.

Thinking back carefully, it seemed that it was just as Sonoko said. From childhood to adulthood, it seemed that there was only one Shinichi by her side, and no other boys had ever come in. Because Shinichi blocked all the boys who wanted to approach her.

In the past, Xiaolan only thought that Shinichi was cool and reliable. But after Yuanzi’s reminder, Xiaolan found that she seemed to be locked in an information cocoon, and she had no idea how other boys saw her.

Have I really lost my confidence? Am I really that humble?

“Lan, I lied to Shinichi and told him that you were dating Mochizuki, and that you mustered up the courage to confess your feelings after seeing the truth. I told him to hurry up and win you back. But he didn’t come, which shows that he was guilty and didn’t dare to come to see you.”

“What? How could you do this? I’m clearly not dating Mochizuki!” Xiaolan hurriedly took out her cell phone, “No, I have to send an email to Shinichi to explain…”

But after taking out her phone, she paused again. Why should I be in such a hurry to explain? Isn’t Shinichi in a hurry?

Yuanzi said so, why didn’t he come? At least give me a call or an email!

…

“What’s wrong? What were you talking about at 0.5?” Kogoro and Mochizuki walked over.

Yuanzi shook her head with a playful smile, “Xiaolan and I are talking about women’s private topics, men should not ask.”

Conan has also run back. He really wants to know what Sonoko and Xiaolan said just now, and why Xiaolan looks so sad?

Xiaolan didn’t say anything and silently put the phone back into her pocket.

“Have you discussed how to deal with Kaito Kidd?” Xiaolan asked her father with a forced smile.

“We have agreed that the police will ambush on the rooftop of the Haido Hotel, leaving Kaito Kid nowhere to hide.” Kogoro replied.

Wangyue saw that Xiaolan looked a little unhappy, so she asked, “What happened? Xiaolan, you don’t seem happy?”

“Ah… no, no.” Xiaolan raised her eyes to look at Wangyue, smiled and shook her head.
