Chapter 362: Testing

Conan pinched himself hard twice, but until he came out of the bathroom again, he was still in a trance.

Hisa, Hibiki Eri, Xiaolan's mother, suspected of cheating? !

Conan hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether this counted. After all, when he thought of this, it was hard not to think of that uncle Maori Kogoro. Could it be possible that these two had secretly divorced?

Conan had countless bold ideas in his mind, but soon, they were all covered up by a heavy news.

Hisaki Eri's cabinet target was his junior, his good friend, Xiaolan's junior. Shimizu Koji.

Damn it!

Conan just felt numb, in the true sense of the word. He sat in a chair, deaf to the laughter in the kitchen, and immersed in his own shocked world.

He claimed to be a detective with a strong sense of justice, but when he encountered this kind of thing, he didn't know what to do at all.

In the past, when Conan saw Maori Kogoro accepting commissions such as stealing and investigating extramarital affairs, he would sneer and look down on them. However, when it really happened to him, to someone close to him, it moved him more than a serial murder case.

Shimizu

Shimizu

This. Wasn't he still accompanying that guy Huiyuan at Dr. Agasa's house this afternoon?

Conan's heart twitched again as his thoughts turned. He quickly remembered the short-haired and heroic girl from Teitan High School that he had seen before. That girl seemed to be a senior from Xiaolan's karate club.

Conan's head suddenly became bigger. He had never thought that this would be the case. Now it seems that Shimizu Koji's fickleness is actually true!

He thought it was——.

Shimizu, Shimizu, how could you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes,...

Conan was heartbroken and regretted it. His little brain reacted quickly. In just a short while, he sorted out Shimizu Koji's love history so far.

There is no doubt that Shimizu Koji made a serious mistake. Although this may be a mistake that every man would make, he can't just sit back and watch his junior fall into the abyss!

A sense of responsibility arose from Conan's heart, and he cheered up again, but he didn't intend to expose Shimizu Koji now. He also knew the pros and cons. He couldn't, at least shouldn't, pull Shimizu Koji out of the cabinet in front of Xiaolan.

"Hey, mom, is this the new necklace you bought? It's so beautiful!"

Suddenly, Xiaolan's voice came from far away. Conan turned around and saw Xiaolan and Kisaki Eri had come out of the kitchen again. Xiaolan was holding a small black box in her hand, which contained the emerald necklace that Shimizu Koji had just sent.

Kisaki Eri took the dishes and put them back on the table. At the same time, she was secretly glad that she followed in. She accidentally missed this necklace and put it on the cabinet in the corridor from the kitchen to the living room.

Fortunately, there was no troublesome thing like a receipt, so it was easy to explain.

"Ah, this, I didn't buy it myself, a friend gave it to me two days ago, it seems to be a turquoise necklace."

As they talked, Kisaki Eri and Xiaolan also sat down at the dining table again, and Conan did not hide his curiosity, tiptoeing and looking at Xiaolan's hand eagerly.

"Turquoise? I don't know much about it, but it's really beautiful, it looks very suitable for your temperament, mother."

Xiaolan took the necklace out of the box, smiled, and put it in front of Kisaki Eri, and then wanted to help Kisaki Eri put it on.

Kisaki Eri also smiled gently and lovingly, lowered her head slightly, and prepared to cooperate with Xiaolan's actions, but at this critical moment! Conan, brazenly took action!

"Akidou Sack!!"

"Eh?"

"Hmm? What's wrong? Conan? What's up?"

It was Eri Kisaki who was speaking. She was in a much better mood. After all, it was rare for her to sit down and get close to Xiaolan. Although the gift was sent by Koji Shimizu, it did not affect the warm atmosphere of their loving mother and filial daughter.

But Conan's sudden interruption ruined the atmosphere in an instant. Even Xiaolan looked unhappy after being surprised.

Facing Eri Kisaki and Xiaolan's simultaneous scrutiny, Conan's originally straight back suddenly bent down, and his eyes became clearer after a start.

"Ah, hahahaha, that, I just feel that this gem is so beautiful, a little bit-"

Conan smiled and scratched his head, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped.

When he saw the gem for the first time, he was sure that it was not some common turquoise, but it was said to be an emerald, so big, even he was a little shocked and didn't dare to confirm it for a while.

It was not until he saw Xiaolan about to put it on Kisaki Eri that he could not help but speak out to stop her, and finally confirmed that it was an emerald gem pendant!

Because, Conan suddenly thought of Shimizu Koji who was still in the closet. Thinking of Shimizu Koji, combined with the possible "horrible" relationship between him and Kisaki Eri, the emerald gem of that size seemed not so strange.

"What's it?" Xiaolan's curiosity was successfully aroused by Conan.

Kisaki Eri looked at Conan, frowning, looking at this kid scratching his head and pretending to be stupid, feeling uncomfortable and having a bad premonition.

Conan also secretly glanced at Kisaki Eri's expression, but Kisaki Eri was a nobody. Although she felt uncomfortable, she looked calm on the surface.

Therefore, Conan could not understand Kisaki Eri's mood at all.

And until now, he still did not want to believe that Shimizu Koji really went with Kisaki Eri, Xiaolan's mother.

After all, that was just Shimizu Koji's one-sided statement. Well, one-sided statement!

Conan subconsciously did not want to think about why Shimizu Koji was wearing a bathrobe.

Therefore, he was not sure whether Kisaki Eri knew that this was not a turquoise, but an emerald gem, one of the four great gems in the world.

And if this thing was really given by Shimizu Koji, then a lot of things could be observed from Kisaki Eri's attitude and reaction.

But Conan didn't have time to think too much. He gritted his teeth and continued to scratch his head pretending to be stupid and said, "Yes, it seems a little familiar."

"Eh? Familiar?"

"Oh, have you seen it somewhere?"

"No, no, no, that's it, Aunt Fei, can I ask, the friend who gave you this necklace, did you say that this pendant is a piece of turquoise?"

"Well, is there any problem?"

"Eh, but if I'm not mistaken, this really looks like the precious emerald gem I saw in the museum at Sister Suzuki's house last time. This kind of luster doesn't look like turquoise at all."

Conan spoke quickly, as if he was afraid of being interrupted, and his two little eyes were also staring at the expression of Eri Kisaki, afraid of missing a slight change.

When Xiaolan and Eri Kisaki heard this, the mother and daughter were both stunned, and Xiaolan's hand holding the necklace tightened a lot.

And Eri Kisaki had a faint expression, unmoved at all, and seemed to disagree with Conan's words.

However, no one knows what she is thinking.

Conan, a high school student of 16 or 17 years old, is too naive to expect to find some flaws from the already alert Kisaki Eri.
