Chapter XIII
Just as everyone was looking at Xiao Lan strangely, a bespectacled man with a slightly plump figure helped the muscular handsome man who had collapsed in the courtyard back. Perhaps it was because Mud Mountain Xunxun had used too much strength, but Junxiu was still dizzy when he was carried back.
However, everyone present also knew about this muscular man's character and thoughts. Therefore, even though such a thing had happened, they did not do anything unfriendly to Xiao Lan and the others.
The little fatty who was supporting the muscular man nodded at Xiao Lan and the others, indicating that they were fine. Then, he directly helped the muscular man to the sofa far away from Xiao Lan and the others. It seemed that these people also knew that this muscular man had no chance.
The atmosphere returned to normal, and the cake made by Keyan's mother was ready.? It had to be said that this woman's cake was quite good. Even Tushan Xunxun, a fox monster who was used to eating the food of the Monster Heart Restaurant, couldn't stop praising this cake.
? However, Mud Mountain Xunxun stayed far away from that thing called coffee. Back when he was at Mao Li Firm, he had tried this out of curiosity.? But after drinking it, for an entire day, Mud Mountain Xunxun's mouth had an unbearable bitter taste.
? From then on, when Mud Mountain Xunxun saw these things, he hated them. However, for some reason, even though this woman's cake was delicious, he felt a strange taste in it. It was like adding sesame sauce to a barbecue dish.
"Hey, Conan, there seems to be something on this cake. It tastes weird." Tushan Xunxun frowned and asked Conan, who was drinking coffee and eating cake with a satisfied expression.
"Is that so? There's nothing different about it when I drink it!" Hearing Tushan Xunxun's words, Conan curiously looked at the cake and coffee in his hands, then took a sip. However, he did not taste anything strange in the coffee or cake.
"Nonsense, I'm a fox demon. How can I be the same as you?”? Tushan Xun looked at Conan as if he was looking at a retard and said angrily. How could a human's sense of taste compare to his?
"According to what you said, there's something wrong with this cake!”Conan thought that it made sense. He quickly put down the cake in his hand and looked at the woman warily. Among the people here, only Keyan's mother had the time and opportunity to do it.
? Looking at the vigilant Conan, Mud Mountain Seeker shook his head in amusement. "Although this cake has something, it won't do any harm to people. If there's a problem, I can only rely on you, the detective.”
Conan rolled his eyes speechlessly at Mud Mountain Seeker, then carefully observed the woman. However, no matter how he looked at it, Conan could not find anything wrong with this woman.
However, just as Conan was about to give up on the woman, something happened by chance and caught his attention. It turned out that Keyan's younger brother had run out of the bedroom at some point in time. He had even come to Xiaolan's side and drank her coffee.
This was originally nothing. After all, it was normal for children to be a little mischievous and curious. However, when the woman saw this, she said to the child in a panic,"How can you drink Miss Xiaolan's coffee so casually? Come and have some cake.”
It was this action that instantly attracted Conan's attention.? According to Mud Mountain Seeker, although there were some problems with the cake, there was nothing fatal. In that case, it was very likely that this woman wanted to harm someone, and the cake was an important part of it. Combined with what the person named Keyan said when the cake was served, a terrifying thought instantly filled his mind.
A look of fear appeared on Conan's face almost instantly. He looked at the woman who was comforting the child with disbelief in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Did you think of something?”?" What's wrong?"? Mud Mountain Seeker asked curiously as he looked at Conan, whose expression had changed drastically.
"This woman wants to kill her child, the young man named Keyan.”Conan said in a low voice after a moment of silence. "The fatal one should be the coffee, because the taste of the coffee will cover up the taste of the poison, and the strange thing in the cake is actually used to detoxify everyone present. She knew that Keyan didn't eat sweet things, so she put the antidote on the cake.”
"How is that possible? That was her child! How could she bear to do that?" Tushan Xunxun almost dropped the cake in his hand because of Conan's words. He had no parents since he was young. Tushan Rongrong, Yaya, and the others had raised him. Therefore, although he did not envy those children who could enjoy motherly love, he still admired such a mother-child relationship.
But now, Conan told him that the person this woman wanted to kill was her son.? This was something that Mud Mountain Seeker couldn't accept.
"How did you determine that the person this woman wanted to kill was her child? Why must the poison be hidden in the coffee?”? Mud Mountain Seeker still couldn't believe that a woman would hurt her own child. He couldn't help but confirm with Conan.
"Because of that child's actions, I was indeed unable to confirm that this woman wanted to kill Keyan. However, after the child drank Xiaolan's coffee, the woman's anxiety was beyond normal. Keyan had clearly stated before that he would not eat such sweet things. "Of course, this is just our guess. But as long as it's possible, we have to think of a way to stop it.”Conan looked at Tushan Xunxun's face and said solemnly.
This was the first time Conan had acted on his own guesses without gathering all the evidence. However, this situation was different. In the past, where he was, the cases had already happened, and he was only responsible for finding the murderer.? This time, the case hadn't happened yet, and he had only determined the murderer based on Mud Mountain Xunxun's words and his own observations and guesses.
After making up his mind, Conan jumped down from his seat when no one was paying attention and ran to the person named Kazuhiko. He signaled Tushan Xunxun, who was still sitting in the same spot, then suddenly picked up the untouched cake next to Keyan and asked innocently,""Big brother! If you don't want to eat your cake, can you let me eat it?”
"Tsk, if you want to eat this kind of thing, you can take it.”Keyan was stunned by Conan's sudden appearance, but after he reacted, Keyan still pretended to be cold and let Conan eat the cake.
After taking the cake, Conan gave Tushan Xun a look. Then, while taking the cake, he pretended to accidentally drop the coffee in front of Keyan.
"Hey! Little brat, what are you doing!" Keyan couldn't dodge in time, and his body was splashed by the hot coffee almost instantly. Before Ke Yan could say anything, Guan Guxiang, who was sitting beside Ke Yan, shouted at Conan.
For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted by the commotion at Keyan's place.? Seeing this, Tushan Xunxun instantly disappeared from his seat. When he reappeared, he was behind a sofa in the living room. Waves of orange-red demonic power surged in Tushan Xunxun's closed palm. "Fox Thought Technique!"
As Mud Mountain Seeker cast his sorcery, Guan Guxiang pushed Conan away. The cake in Conan's hand drew a strange curve in the sky and smashed into Keyan's face. A small piece of cake slipped into Keyan's mouth and was swallowed subconsciously.
? After doing all of this, Mud Mountain Xunxun took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention had been drawn to this sudden event to return to his seat. He acted as if nothing had happened, as if he was watching a show.
" You, you child, you..." Guan Guxiang looked at Conan who was lying on the ground. She was so angry that her breathing became a little hurried.
However, Keyan, who was the person involved, waved his hand and interrupted Guan Guxiang. She took the towel from Watanabe and wiped her face. She said impatiently,""Miss Xiaolan, please take good care of this child. Don't let him walk around. If it really doesn't work, go to the bedroom with my brother to wear it. What was she doing here?”
"Uh, okay, Mr. Keyan, I'm sorry.”Xiao Lan was also a little embarrassed because of what Conan had done, so she said with a red face. As an invited guest, what they did was simply too embarrassing.
"Conan, don't run around anymore. Be quiet. She went to the bedroom to play with the master's child.”After Lan apologized, she turned around and said to Conan and the others in a serious tone.
"Oh, I know, Xiaolan (Big Sister Xiaolan)." Conan and Mud Mountain Search returned at the same time. Then, they followed the timid child to the child's bedroom.
However, as soon as he left everyone's sight, Conan took out his phone and dialed the Japanese Police Department. In order to make his voice more believable, Conan even used his own bow to adjust his voice to Lan's.
Ten minutes later, the police finally arrived. Under Conan's constant pleading, Tushan Seeker had no choice but to explain the situation to Megure and the others. After the police checked everyone's coffee and cake, the woman who had been very tough finally admitted what she wanted to do.
Guan Guxiang, who was Keyan's childhood sweetheart, also revealed a shocking piece of news. This woman was not Keyan's mother at all, but Keyan's aunt. It was only because she was greedy for Keyan's family inheritance that she had the intention to kill Keyan. Everyone who knew the truth fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Kazuhiko thanked Conan and the others. For some reason, he felt that the reason he was saved this time was because of these two children. Moreover, Keyan also expressed that he would not side with his uncle's family this time. He would find a professional lawyer to resolve the inheritance issue. As for the woman, Keyan expressed that he would still let her go. However, he would not have anything to do with her from now on.
