Chapter 189 Xiaolan: Even More Afraid

Snapped...

Renke Nian's shoulder was gripped tightly by a large hand.

"What are you doing? Ouch!" Renke cried out in pain, his smile turning into a distorted expression.

"Don't you know who she is?" Fuheshen said coldly.

Renke turned his head to look at Fuheishen... In those pale black pupils, he saw his own figure shrinking continuously.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't realize she already had a boyfriend," Renke Nian quickly apologized.

"Eh...no, I...I and Shen..." Xiao Lan's cheeks turned bright red after hearing Fu Heishen's words, and steam began to rise from her head.

After Ninsen left, Fuhesen glanced at Xiaolan.

Feeling Shen'er's gaze, Xiaolan lowered her head and said in a very soft voice, "I...I wanted to refuse, but Brother Shen'er, you just..."

Fuheishen raised an eyebrow, looking at Steam Princess Xiaolan, "I didn't say anything, did I?"

"Mmm..." Ran nodded, blushing, and said obediently, "That person... he's the one I attended for his new book signing when I went shopping with Sonoko last time..."

After lingering in the parking lot for a while longer.

The group arrived at the floating restaurant by cable car...

Upon entering the restaurant, the lights were already on, illuminating the surrounding seabed...

"It truly lives up to its name as an underwater restaurant..." Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise, then tilted her head, "But... why aren't there any waiters?"

"Yes...Where is Mr. Shang Shengyi (the owner of the underwater restaurant)?"

"I remember you asked me to meet you here?"

"The guests have arrived... but the host has disappeared."

Everyone felt something was strange.

"Perhaps he's out playing with the fish," Fuheishen said in a completely emotionless tone.

"Brother Shen...please don't say that, it's scary," Xiao Lan said in a low voice.

The huge underwater restaurant was empty except for a few people, surrounded by the cold, dark ocean... It was quiet and looked quite eerie.

The others also broke out in a cold sweat... and had the same thought.

Conan glanced at everyone, then stroked his chin.

As the person present who knows Shirley best, Conan knows... every word Shirley says, seemingly meaningless, actually has a deeper meaning...

As for why not just say it directly...

It must be a test for myself.

Furthermore... the murderer killed people in the order of playing cards, and Mr. Shang Shengyi's name happens to represent his birth chart (Bazi).

and many more!

Conan's brain was instantly pierced by a laser... He knew, he knew!

The prime suspect, Murakami Takeshi, is not here.

If Shang Shengyi's death is confirmed, then the other party can be directly ruled out as a suspect.

The criminals... were among them!

This is the true meaning of Shengege.

Conan, hands in his pockets, a slight smirk playing on his lips, glanced at the crowd with a hint of disdain.

Is this what Shen'ergege wanted to remind himself of...?

Hehe... Hahahaha.

Besides myself, who else on the scene could have thought of it, and who else could have done it?

I'm all alone!

Conan suppressed the urge to strike Yagami Light's classic pose and, disguised as an elementary school student, began the Q&A session.

At the same time... Xiaolan squeezed her legs together, suddenly feeling the urge to urinate.

But with so many people in the restaurant, if I were to say it out loud, wouldn't I be incredibly embarrassed...?

Anyway, Dad and Conan will definitely make a big laugh at her.

"Shen'erge... Shen'erge," Xiaolan asked in a very soft voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, she tapped her head... and her cheeks turned red.

Is it really appropriate for Shen Erge to go to the toilet with me?

"What's wrong?" Fuheshen asked, turning his head.

"N-nothing..." Xiaolan sighed, mustered her courage, stood up, and headed to the restroom...

Fuheishen tilted his head in confusion, not quite understanding Xiaolan's actions.

However, I didn't pay too much attention to it... and continued to listen to the intense reasoning on site.

He wasn't very familiar with this movie, so it was a good opportunity to rewatch it.

............

In the somewhat gloomy corridor, Xiaolan came out of the restroom... After washing her hands, she prepared to leave quickly.

pat...

A sound from the glass startled her.

Xiao Lan immediately recalled what Shen Erge had just said...

'Maybe it's outside playing with the fish.'

Thinking of this, she felt a chill and quickly turned around, assuming a karate stance.

However, there was only a gloomy, icy blue ocean, and fish... no one.

She gently patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She had only scared herself... Shen'er, Dad and the others are in the living room, it's alright.

Xiaolan turned around... and upon hearing footsteps, her pupils widened suddenly... and her mouth opened as if to scream.

boom...

In an instant, a figure behind her covered her mouth...

Xiaolan was terrified, struggling to scratch at the hand covering her mouth... Tears welled up in her eyes in her panic.

"It's me, don't call me that," Fuheshen'er comforted her. If Xiaolan had called out just now, there would have been another unavoidable misunderstanding.

He frowned, feeling some water on his hands. "Why is there water? And what are you afraid of?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice and feeling the touch, Xiaolan stopped struggling. She tried to say something, but Shen'er's hand covered her mouth tightly.

She gently pulled away Fuheishen's hand and said weakly, "I...I'm afraid of ghosts and monsters."

Fuheshen'er:........

Ran may sometimes be able to manifest the form of a fallen angel, but she immediately goes limp and loses all her fighting power when she encounters ghosts or monsters.

"Brother Shen'er, what brings you here..." Xiao Lan pursed her lips and asked.

"I want to ask you to come with me to see the ocean world..." Fuheshener said honestly.

He was telling the truth... The hall was in complete chaos, and Conan had completely given up on acting.

Perhaps it was the confidence the organization gave him that made him ask people questions that didn't fit his persona, often in a childlike tone.

For example, questions like, "What did you do before?" or "Why did you come here?"

Most importantly... the people around him answered his questions blankly, like puppets on strings.

It's like triggering the other party's unique passive ability, "always ready to answer any question".

Xiao Lan nodded obediently, secretly glancing at Fu Heishen.

The cold air enveloped him... Through the glass, which was filled with water and fish, the icy blue light made him feel as if he were in a real ocean.

"Brother Shen... could you wait for me a little longer?" Xiao Lan reached out and scratched her cheek.

She couldn't help herself again after what Shen'erge had just done to scare her.
