Stay away from Conan

"Oh? What you like is "A Study in Scarlet"!"

On the seaside road late at night, in a large business car with the words "Sherlock Holmes Fans Tour Group" on the window, people who were invited to join the tour group were happily communicating in the car.

Since the members of the tour group were all very senior Sherlock Holmes fans, the conversation easily started and gradually evolved into an exchange meeting about the works of "Sherlock Holmes".

In this regard, when the amiable middle-aged man with a beard sitting in the second row heard the young lady in the back seat mention that his favorite work was "A Study in Scarlet", he couldn't help but turn around. asked.

"kindness."

When faced with such an inquiry, this lady, who seemed to be a bit introverted, looked a little happy. Probably because it was rare to meet someone with similar interests, the lady couldn't help but smile and nodded in response.

"indeed."

However, the middle-aged man who asked was quite talkative and continued on the topic:

"Because it was the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes, the most memorable first work!"

"My favorite is "The Red-Haired Club"..."

Probably listening to their chat, the young man sitting next to the lady also seemed very excited and couldn't help but chime in and tell her about his favorite works.

"And I!"

However, before the young man could finish speaking, Conan, who could no longer hold back when faced with such a topic, immediately stood up from the arms of Xiaolan who was sitting in the passenger seat, raised his hands and shouted:

"My favorite is "The Sign of Four"!"

"Oh! It is indeed a masterpiece recognized all over the world!"

In this regard, upon hearing Conan's shout, the young man couldn't help but continued in surprise. At the same time, the middle-aged man also smiled kindly at Conan:

"Brother, you are awesome! Do you know many words?"

"It's...it's okay!"

Slightly embarrassed, Conan could only deal with it this way.

In this regard, Mouri Kogoro, who was sitting in the second row, listened to the chat of this group of people and felt that he couldn't fit in at all, so he couldn't help but leaned up and whispered to Xiaolan in the front seat. :

"I can't stand it...why do I have to come on this trip?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan could only say helplessly:

"Because Conan... was named by Conan without permission..."

In a low voice, Xiaolan replied——

"And it happened to be chosen..."

Feeling slightly depressed, Kogoro couldn't help but think this as he looked at the excited Conan.

"By the way, which work do you prefer?"

At this time, it seemed that Kogoro had been silent in the car, and the young man in the back seat also came forward enthusiastically and asked Kogoro.

"Huh? Me?"

Unexpectedly, Kogoro, who was still feeling depressed about Conan's signing up for the tour group, was startled by such a question. Then he rubbed the back of his head and forced a smile while awkwardly squeezing out an answer. :

"The one I like seems to be called "No Man Survived" or something..."

However, as soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire car suddenly became cold. Everyone who was originally harmonious could not help but look towards Kogoro, looking at the man with a mustache in the car with a very surprised expression. man——

…

"You should be talking about "No Survival"!"

The middle-aged man corrected him coldly.

"And the author of this work is Agatha Christie, not the work of Mr. Conan Doyle, whom I admire."

At this time, even the woman who seemed a bit quiet and introverted spoke out unhappily.

"Hey! I didn't expect that in this group, a layman would sneak in..."

In this regard, the young man who asked Kogoro aloud also complained without hesitation.

"What a disappointment..."

The middle-aged man also added.

——"These guys..."

Seeing the disgust shown by everyone in the car towards him, Kogoro was also very unhappy. He stepped forward and asked Xiaolan in a low voice:

"Hey! Do I really have to stay with these guys for three days?"

"It's not just these people."

However, before Xiaolan could respond, the waitress from the tour group who had been driving kept smiling and replied:

"My master is taking another group of people to the hotel now!"

"Hey hey..."

When the waitress said this, Kogoro's expression became even more ugly.

After Conan heard this, he seemed more interested and suggested to Kogoro who was obviously very unhappy:

"Isn't this fun? The more people there are, the more fun it is!"

Seeing this, he was furious. Seeing that Conan, the instigator of this tour group that he had to follow, looked so happy, Kogoro couldn't help but hit Conan on the head. punch, and then said angrily:

"How fun it is!"

In response, Conan, who had a headache, had no choice but to cover his head and say no more.

Just like that, because Kogoro's speech was disappointing, everyone in the car was silent until the car arrived at the hotel. They just waited until the waitress drove the car to the destination of the trip——

A hotel called "Mycroft" located on a cliff by the sea.

"Wow! What a beautiful hotel!"

Looking at this exquisite hotel with two floors and a sloping roof loft, Xiaolan couldn't help but marveled after getting off the car, and then hurriedly wanted to enter the hotel to have a look——

"Conan, hurry up!"

Xiaolan, who had already quickly followed the large group into the hotel door, said to Conan who had just gotten off the car.

So, Conan, who had just taken his schoolbag from the car and put it on his back, hurriedly followed him——

However, before Conan could reach the steps in front of the hotel, a delicate and fat hand suddenly grabbed Conan.

Turning around, he saw a middle-aged woman with short dark brown curly hair and an obviously fat figure, crouching down and looking at Conan with a curious look on her face.

The woman wears a pink dress and a dark coat. A silver necklace hangs around her neck. The pendant on the necklace is very special. It is an ornament composed of a moon, a wand and a sapphire.

"Auntie, what do you want to do?"

Feeling very surprised, Conan asked in surprise when he saw the woman holding him.

…

"Little brother, you..."

At this time, the woman who had looked at Conan carefully for a long time suddenly said with a serious expression:

"Is there some big secret?"

"ah?"

Seeing the other party's serious expression when he said this, Conan was subconsciously startled.

But soon, the woman's next words made Conan breathe a sigh of relief——

"Haha, did you secretly hide the exam papers with bad grades?"

"Ah, well..."

Conan could only smile awkwardly at this, but just in time, Xiaolan, who saw that Conan did not enter the room immediately, poked her head out of the hotel and asked Conan slightly worriedly:

"What are you doing, Conan?"

"Someone is calling me..."

So, Conan pointed at Xiaolan and said to the lady, wanting to leave the other party quickly.

However, the lady laughed "haha":

"Be careful, little brother..."

As he said this, the woman suddenly came close to Conan's ear and whispered suggestions:

"Otherwise, your secret may be known to someone soon!"

"ah?"

Slightly puzzled, after seeing that the woman who said this no longer held him, and let herself go, Conan immediately walked towards Xiaolan——

"Who is that lady?"

Looking at the scene just now, Xiaolan couldn't help but ask Conan.

"Probably... an astrologer..."

Helplessly, Conan guessed, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel dizzy in his heart——

"Will the secret be revealed?"

In this regard, looking at Xiaolan next to him, Conan felt a little uneasy because he did have a big secret and was a bit sensitive, but he still comforted himself and said -

"impossible……"
