Chapter 496 Taking the Letter
Large clouds hung in the sky, blocking the heat waves brought by the sun.
The wind blew the mat back and forth non-stop, making the plants rustle.
2-11, Yoneka-cho.
The members of the Junior Detective League and the non-staff member Hiroki Sawada have reported to the yard on time, and are now accepting Takemi Ei's additional training with a bitter look on their faces.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima originally wanted to give up, but this idea was quickly stymied by a few words from Haibara Ai and Yoshida Ayumi.
Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki were sitting on the rooftop, drinking milk, eating snacks and chatting.
Suzuki Sonoko threw a mandarin orange slice into her mouth and complained incoherently, "Officers Sato and Takagi are such idiots. They didn't even tell us about this fake marriage in advance. We spent so much time choosing gifts for them!"
Mao Lilan was very good-tempered and helped explain: "Officer Sato and Officer Takagi didn't do it on purpose. Time was too tight and they didn't have time to explain so much."
Suzuki Sonoko rolled her eyes in annoyance: "What are you talking about, Xiaolan? Didn't Uncle Maori know the truth? Why didn't he tell us? We didn't know anything. He even rushed up and beat up several police officers who were helping with the drill! He even had to apologize afterwards. It was so embarrassing!"
Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly: "Well, my father is indeed a little unreliable... But this is more realistic. And the people who were beaten by us were not angry. Didn't they even praise our good skills?"
Suzuki Sonoko's expression instantly turned from gloomy to cheerful. She couldn't help laughing out loud and proudly boasted to Si Xuanyu: "Hehe, Xuanyu, you know, yesterday several people said that Xiaolan and I have the talent to be police officers! They also said they would recommend us to go to the police academy!"
Si Xuanyu swallowed a mouthful of the chili crisps made by Zhao Zhen and praised with an exaggerated expression: "Wow! Then I must have a good relationship with the future Superintendents Yuanzi and Xiaolan!"
Suzuki Sonoko was so happy that her teeth were showing when she heard this. She smiled for a long time before she managed to suppress her smile and pretended to be serious: "Hello, President Si, hello, Superintendent Xiaolan, I am Superintendent Sonoko, please give me your guidance in the future!"
After saying this, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but laugh at herself.
Mao Lilan also joked: "There is only one Superintendent General, Sonoko, it seems that we still have to have a fierce competition!"
Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin and nodded seriously: "Yeah, yeah, that's true. Forget it, I'll just try to be the Minister of Commerce in the future. The title of Superintendent General is more suitable for Xiaolan! Hehehehehe~"
Si Xuanyu and Mao Lilan also burst into laughter.
Amidst the laughter, Si Xuanyu suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of Kudo Shinichi's family. She tilted her head slightly and said to Mao Lilan: "Xiaolan, it seems that someone is looking for Kudo Shinichi."
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko both paused in laughter: "What?"
The two of them immediately stood up, walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down. Sure enough, they saw a man dressed as a courier standing at the door of Kudo Shinji's house, ringing the doorbell.
Perhaps because there was no response for a long time, the postman stuffed the envelope into the mailbox by the door and left.
Seeing this, Suzuki Sonoko guessed, "What bill is this again?"
Mao Lilan shook her head: "No one is living in the Shin family recently, so there is no need for any bills to be sent to the house."
Suzuki Sonoko thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we just go down and check it out. Anyway, Xiaolan, you have the key to the new mailbox, right?"
Mao Lilan hesitated: "This... is not good. After all, it is a private letter."
Suzuki Sonoko pulled Mao Lilan towards the elevator and said, "Oh, what's wrong with that? He can't open the mailbox now. What if there is an urgent letter in it? If it's a bill or something, you should tell Sister Yukiko and Uncle Yusaku as soon as possible so that they can pay it in time to avoid affecting their future living."
After that, Suzuki Sonoko looked around cautiously again, and then whispered in Mao Lilan's ear: "If it is really a letter to Shinichi, we can also pretend to let that kid know the content by accident."
Mao Lilan blinked her eyes, thinking that what Suzuki Sonoko said made sense, so she followed Suzuki Sonoko's force and went downstairs.
In the yard, the few people who were panting after practicing Wu Meiying and Shan Hai Jing immediately activated their lazy radar when they saw Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran coming out.
Several people pretended to stand up casually, stopped moving, and looked in the direction of Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko.
"Sister Xiaolan, Sister Sonoko, are you leaving?"
"Isn't it time yet? Where are you going?"
"Did something happen?"
"There's a sequel to yesterday's fake wedding, right?"
"Do you need us to come together?"
Suzuki Sonoko quickly waved her hands: "No, no! We are just going to get something, you guys hurry up and train, don't be lazy!"
After saying that, he immediately pulled Mao Lilan and walked out quickly.
The children had not expected that Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko would really take them away, and they were content to have a short break.
So after receiving Wu Meiying's encouraging gaze, the few of them immediately returned to their previous movements and started practicing.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko soon arrived at the mailbox of Kudo Shinji's family.
Suzuki Sonoko patted Mouri Ran casually and asked her to take out the key quickly.
Mao Lilan felt inexplicably guilty and kept looking at No. 11 several times. She always felt that it was not a good idea for her to do so. She hesitated and said, "Sonoko, let's forget it. I, that..."
Suzuki Sonoko took the keys out of Mao Lilan's pocket, found one of the keys after a quick identification, and directly opened the mailbox: "What this and that, he hasn't shown up for such a long time, and you are willing to wait for him. Now you are here to help him collect letters. He should be grateful, okay? Why do you have to feel guilty?"
Mouri Ran was unable to stop her and watched Suzuki Sonoko take out all the things in the mailbox and stuff them into her arms. After checking that nothing was left in the mailbox, she quickly locked the mailbox and took her back to No. 11 in a hurry.
The children performed a series of lazy actions again.
Suzuki Sonoko responded with a smile, but Mao Li Ran looked away.
Others didn't feel anything, but Conan Edogawa, who paid close attention to Ran Mouri except for the case, immediately noticed this subtle movement.
Not right.
What's that expression on Xiaolan's face?
Why do you seem so embarrassed and guilty?
What just happened?
Edogawa Conan thought carefully.
Sonoko said they were going out to get something, and when they came back, there was indeed something extra in Xiaolan's arms.
Ok?
This is No. 11. What can Xiaolan and Sonoko get just by going out for such a short while?
What he saw just now seemed to be a letter in Xiaolan's arms?
Huh?
Huh? ! !
Could it be? ! !
