Chapter 29
Ran Strange Noises in the Bathroom

“Ran, you go back first, Mom wants to go to the restroom.”

Eri Kisaki retracted her gaze from the text message she just received on her phone and looked up at Ran Mouri.

“Thanks to Mom’s guidance, I’m confident about making chocolate tonight.”

Ran Mouri got the answer she wanted.

After Aki Tsukasa left, Ran Mouri curiously asked him why he left for so long.

He told her he had just encountered Eri Kisaki.

Therefore, Ran asked where Eri Kisaki was before going to find her.

Because Eri Kisaki’s cooking skills had improved a lot with Aki Tsukasa’s help.

Therefore, Ran wanted to ask her for specifics on how to make chocolate.

Because she wanted to give chocolate to Aki Tsukasa at tomorrow's Valentine's Day party.

After learning some tips from Eri Kisaki, she should be able to make a good one tonight!

Thinking about this, Ran was somewhat shy.

This was the first Valentine's Day chocolate she was about to make and give.

Seeing Ran leave, Eri Kisaki looked at Midori Kuriyama with an apologetic expression on her pretty face.

“Miss Kuriyama, I feel a little unwell and need to go to the restroom.”

Her cool tone was as usual, without revealing any clues.

“Okay, teacher.”

Midori Kuriyama smiled back, but her heart was complicated.

Although Eri Kisaki seemed natural.

Midori Kuriyama knew what the text message was about, even if she didn’t know its content.

She could also guess who sent it and the purpose behind it.

Unexpectedly, lawyer Eri was so bold.

Her daughter, Ran Mouri, was still on the train. Wasn't she afraid of getting caught?

What could Midori Kuriyama do? She was also desperate.

She could only continue to act in front of Eri Kisaki, pretending she knew nothing.

Back in the carriage, Ran found Kogoro Mouri was the only one left on the seat.

Confused, she quickly shook her father, "Dad, where did Tsukasa-kun go again?"

“Umm... He said he went to the dining car.” Kogoro Mouri responded in a daze as he raised his head.

“Okay. Wait, speaking of which, where’s Conan?” Ran finally noticed.

Conan and Aki Tsukasa had left together earlier, but it seemed they didn't return together.

“Dad…” Seeing Kogoro Mouri fall asleep again on the seat.

Ran shook her head helplessly, “What a pain.”

That’s your disciple. How can you be so carefree?

Thinking that she couldn’t let a child run around on the train.

She decided to go find Conan first.

——————

In the train’s restroom.

“Don’t do anything rash!”

Eri Kisaki lowered her voice and said to Aki Tsukasa.

Her beautiful eyes glared at him.

“I’m not in the office now, so I don’t have spare clothes or stockings.”

She covered her forehead, feeling like she had lost her mind.

How could she actually follow Aki Tsukasa's words after seeing the text message?

She found an excuse to leave Midori Kuriyama.

She should have let this bad boy wait there foolishly.

Thinking further.

What if, in a while, she and Aki Tsukasa left the restroom together.

What would happen if Ran saw them?

How would she explain it then?

Being a lawyer, she was unusually calm at this moment.

She imagined the worst-case scenario.

Eri Kisaki immediately regretted it even more.

“Eri Kisaki, Eri Kisaki, you can’t go on like this. This guy is getting more and more audacious.”

However, in the next second, under Aki Tsukasa’s kiss.

Eri Kisaki gradually forgot the words she just told herself.

“Conan, how can you cause trouble?!” Ran grabbed Conan by the back of his collar.

Conan was devastated.

He had been following Gin and Vodka.

He found them heading to the dining car, seemingly for a deal with someone.

But he was discovered by Ran, who dragged him back.

“Speaking of which, it seems Tsukasa-kun isn't in the dining car?” Ran looked at the dining car just now.

She confirmed that Aki Tsukasa wasn’t there.

“Did Dad get confused?”

“Damn it, I can’t struggle at all after shrinking.”

Being carried by Ran with no dignity, Conan felt like life was bleak.

“What should I do now? I can’t tell Ran about Gin and Vodka, right?”

Conan was thinking.

As Ran walked past the restroom with him, she slowed down.

She turned back hesitantly.

“Weird, Conan, did you hear any noises just now?”

Ran looked at the restroom.

It sounded like someone’s muffled groan, and like someone hitting the door.

“Huh?” Conan heard Ran calling him and raised his head. “I don’t think so?”

Conan had already thought of going back to use the tracking glasses Dr. Agasa gave him.

His glasses frame has parts for eavesdropping that can be detached and used.

He’ll put it on Gin and Vodka’s seat later!

“But it sounds like Mom’s voice?” Ran hesitated as she came to the restroom door.

She remembered Eri Kisaki saying she was going to the restroom earlier.

Did she hear wrong about that muffled groan?

Was Mom feeling unwell?

A little worried, Ran felt she should make sure.

So she knocked on the restroom door and asked tentatively, “Is anyone in there?”

The restroom seemed to fall silent for a moment, but then Aki Tsukasa’s voice came immediately.

“It’s Ran, right? Oh, are you in a hurry to use the restroom? It might be a while!”

“Eh? It’s Tsukasa-kun! Sorry, sorry, I thought it was my mom.”

Ran quickly left with Conan.

On the way, she even smiled awkwardly.

It must be because Mom also said she was going to the restroom, and it caused her to have auditory hallucinations.

“Heh…” Conan was speechless.

“It must be Ran-neesan who heard wrong, how could Aunt Eri and Tsukasa-oniisan both be in there.”
