Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 283 Intelligence T0 Ran Mouri

Inside the cafe.

Qi Ming watched the red dots on the minimap keep disappearing, then turned the minimap off.

After all, Conan uses glasses that he helped upgrade, so it's normal for them to have GPS tracking capabilities.

Sigh, Conan really has to thank him.

Thank you Ran Mouri for not being part of my own fantasy world, and thank you for the fact that the girlfriend bond here is only with one person.

"Alan, take my advice. Why don't you and Conan order a small cake and chat sometime?"

"Besides, don't you already know Conan's identity? Why don't you confess?"

Qi Ming asked Ran Mouri curiously.

Does this mean that Ran Mouri prefers this kind of younger man/older woman nurturing relationship?

Ran Mouri pouted slightly and said angrily:

"He kept this from me for so long, how could I possibly swallow this insult!"

However, after a brief pause, Ran Mouri took a deep breath and then slowly said:

"However... I think he might have his own reasons and concerns for doing this?"

Qi Ming couldn't help but let out a big yawn, and replied irritably:

"What's there to worry about? He's not an undercover agent, what could he possibly be doing that's so secretive about?"

"If he's been hiding his true identity because he's afraid you'll worry, then when you didn't know about it, weren't you worried about him at all?"

"..."

Ran Mouri kept her head down and didn't say anything, her hands rubbing together somewhat awkwardly.

How could I not worry?

Every time they call, they suddenly hang up.

They always make excuses, saying they're busy with a case and it's inconvenient for them to do so.

In fact, during the time Shinichi was away, although she didn't say it, she was always worried about him.

Fortunately, she now knows that Shinichi, disguised as Conan, has always been by her side, so she doesn't know when she'll be able to put her mind at ease.

"Forget it, you guys do what you want. Do whatever you want. Anyway, I think it's always better to be upfront about things than anything else."

Qi Ming yawned and took another sip of fruit tea.

"Isn't explaining things more effective than anything else...?"

Ran Mouri was lost in thought. After a short while, she looked up and suddenly asked Qi Ming a question.

"By the way, Mr. Qi Ming, do you think now is the right time?"

"what?"

Qi Ming took a sip of fruit tea, not quite understanding what Ran Mouri was saying.

What is the time?

The time of birth has come; may this be used to rectify all things?

Ran Mouri responded with a smile:

"It's about what you told me at Moriya Teiji's house last time."

Qi Ming was taken aback.

"Teiji Moriya? Who?"

"It was the tea party last time!"

Seeing that Ran Mouri was about to recount her memories, Qi Ming quickly nodded seriously.

"Oh, I remember now, it's that person."

This was a lie, Qi Ming didn't realize.

He never remembers the names of even the most common or elite monsters.

However, he still remembered Hannibal.

Seeing that Qi Ming had already remembered, Ran Mouri said:

"Last time I asked you about why Shinichi shrunk, and you told me it was too complicated and you wouldn't let me think about it."

"Isn't now the right time?"

"Um……"

Qi Ming understood now and remembered.

It seems that she was about to tell Ran Mouri that Shinichi Kudo was shrunk by being given a drug, but Ai Haibara stopped her.

Although Qi Ming now quite likes Ran Mouri, he has decided not to say anything.

Go find it yourselves, and play your own reasoning games.

"I'm sorry, Alan, you'll have to find the answer to this yourself."

Ran Mouri raised an eyebrow, and after a moment responded with a smile.

"But Mr. Qi Ming, didn't you just tell me that you like to explain things clearly?"

"Forehead……"

Seeing the cunning look in Ran Mouri's eyes, Qi Ming was speechless.

Surprisingly, the dart actually spun around.

"Ahem, this is highly confidential information that I obtained with great difficulty. It's not appropriate to say it out loud."

Despite Qi Ming's second rejection, Ran Mouri showed no regret, resting her chin on her hands and smiling as she said:

"Hmm~ It seems Mr. Qi Ming really knows a lot of things."

"..."

Qi Ming stared at Ran Mouri with his eyes wide open.

This is a bit over the top! These sisters are even smarter than Conan!

And how exactly did she manage to get information out of me without making me angry like Conan does?

Oh, because I'm a male player and she's a female character.

That's fine.

Seeing that Qi Ming did not respond, Ran Mouri removed her hands from the table and bowed slightly.

"Mr. Qi Ming, please tell me something. I really don't want to be kept in the dark any longer."

[Ran Mouri has issued a task: Solve the mystery]

"Cough cough!"

Qi Ming, who was about to refuse Ran Mouri again, suddenly coughed twice, then nodded seriously.

"Ask me anything, I'll answer anything."

Despite saying that, Qi Ming still felt some doubts.

Didn't Ran Mouri ask him a question last time?

Why did the mission pop up this time but not last time?

And soon, the system's response arrived.

[Because Ran Mouri said "please" this time, but she didn't last time.]

Oh, you're actually being quite polite?

However, Qi Ming immediately retorted shortly afterward.

But that doesn't make sense. Didn't she say at the beginning that she wanted me to help answer the questions? There's a replay to prove it!

[A single "help" or "please" only counts as one task reward, dear.]

Qi Ming was taken aback.

It makes so much sense!

I've been poisoned by too many trashy games. Rewards should be given for doing one thing at a time.

You made five servings of noodles, but you only paid for one. Isn't that taking advantage of honest people?
