Chapter 95

“I only found out about this visit after much questioning.”

“Why did Hoshino-kun come with you guys?”

Suzuki Sonoko pulled Conan over mysteriously and asked.

“Ah?! It’s because the Doctor wanted to thank Hoshino-niisan for saving me... so...”

Conan laughed it off.

He said helplessly.

Mouri Ran heard what Conan said.

........Divider......

Couldn’t help but ask anxiously:....

“?! Conan, did you encounter any danger? How were you saved by Hoshino-kun?”

“Eh? Did I not say?”

Conan was stunned, looking confused.

“You never said!”

Mouri Ran put her hands on her hips, looking very serious.

“It’s like this…”

After Conan’s explanation.

Everyone finally understood the sequence of events.

“Ah! Something like that happened!”

Mouri Ran covered her mouth with both hands.

Hearing that Conan and the others had encountered such a terrifying thing.

She couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear.

She looked up at Hoshino Ki across the road.

Her eyes were full of gratitude.

She saw him walking over while holding Ayumi…

？？？

Holding… Ayumi?

Hoshino Ki only put Ayumi down after crossing the road.

Ayumi’s feet stood firmly on the ground.

Her cheeks were slightly red.

She lowered her head shyly and followed everyone’s pace towards the Mouri trio.

“You aren’t a lolicon, are you? Even though you’ve already gotten out of the car, you still have to carry her over.”

Haibara Ai walked to Hoshino Ki’s side.

She expressed deep doubt about his hidden hobby.

“Do you want to be carried too?”

Hoshino Ki didn’t answer Haibara Ai’s question.

Instead, he bent down and spread his arms towards Haibara Ai.

“No... no need!”

Haibara Ai saw Hoshino Ki’s serious look.

Her facial expression paused slightly, and she stopped in her tracks.

Hoshino Ki’s eyes were full of deep meaning.

Making it impossible to look at him for a long time.

So she could only retreat silently.

Then she turned around and followed the group’s pace.

Looking closely.

One would find a suspicious red tint on Haibara Ai’s cheeks.

Hoshino Ki stood up and looked at Haibara Ai’s small back.

He shook his head helplessly and followed.

“Hoshino-kun!!”

Suzuki Sonoko was excited.

She waved at Hoshino Ki frantically.

Clearly, she had forgotten what “restraint” was.

“Hoshino-kun, hello everyone!”

Mouri Ran greeted everyone gently!

“Hello!”

The Detective Boys all bowed politely and orderly to the Mouri trio.

This building.

It is said to be located within the territory of Nishitama City.

The tallest twin-tower skyscraper in Japan that will be completed in the near future.

Just as everyone was greeting each other in front of this building.

A lady who claimed to be the chairman’s secretary suddenly appeared and led everyone into the building.

“Wow! What is this? How amazing!”

The Detective Boys all looked at the giant machine in front of them with surprise.

This machine was set up with two seats on the left and right.

In the middle, there was also a high-end printing device.

“This machine can take a picture of what you will look like in ten years based on your facial expressions!”

The genius inventor who invented this machine said to everyone patiently:

“Everyone can try it!”

The first to sit in were Dr. Agasa and Ayumi.

When the two entered the seats in the machine and sat down.

A helmet-shaped mask slowly fell down.

Automatically placed on their heads.

After scanning with several colored lights.

“Click” twice.

Two photos were spit out from the printer in the middle of the machine.

“Here, this is what you will look like in ten years!”

The inventor handed the photos to Dr. Agasa and Ayumi respectively.

“What’s this, Dr. Agasa hasn’t changed at all, is it broken?”

The Dr. Agasa in the photo was still the same as before.

Not changed at all.

Genta and Mitsuhiko couldn’t help but complain.

“It’s not broken, come and look at Ayumi!”

Conan put his hands in his pockets.

Looking at Ayumi’s photo and saying.

Ayumi was holding her photo with joy.

Genta and Mitsuhiko came to Ayumi’s side.

Seeing the photo in Ayumi’s hand.

What was presented in the photo.

Was a high school girl with semi-long hair.

Looking very sunny and cute.

“So cute!”

Mitsuhiko and Genta looked at Ayumi in the photo.

Both were fascinated.

“Looks much better than this sister!”

Genta compared the photo.

Pointing at Suzuki Sonoko on the side and saying.

“Tch! What do kids know about aesthetics?”

Suzuki Sonoko disdained to argue with children.

“Ran, let’s try it too!”

Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko walked into the machine together.

“Click!”

The photo was taken.

“...”

“Hahaha! I’ve seen this kind of old lady!”

Genta mocked Suzuki Sonoko in the photo ten years later.

Suzuki Sonoko held her photo with a sorrowful expression.

“Ah? Why is it like this?”

Her appearance in the photo could be described as unspeakable.

Although her facial features didn’t look ugly.

But due to the influence of the hairstyle being close to the scalp.

Her whole face looked like she had aged more than twenty years.

Plus she was from a wealthy family.

She might inherit her family’s business ten years later.

So the desire for money in her eyes was also clearly revealed.

It wouldn’t be wrong to call her a “rich woman”.

Just as Suzuki Sonoko was immersed in the sadness of her aged appearance ten years later.

A shocking voice from Dr. Agasa suddenly came from the side.

“Wow, it’s exactly the same as Kisaki Eri when she was young!”

He leaned forward, looking at the photo in Mouri Ran’s hand.

Couldn’t help but sigh from the bottom of his heart:

“If it’s to match Shinichi... it looks like a pity!”

In the photo.

It presented Mouri Ran ten years later.

She looked much more mature than now.

A bit more intellectual beauty than her gentle appearance now.

“Mm... looking at it this way... Ran and Hoshino-kun look quite compatible...”

Dr. Agasa examined it seriously.

“Huh?”

Hearing this.

Everyone looked at Dr. Agasa in shock.

“Why?”

“Then... what about Shinichi-niisan?”

Conan’s facial expression suddenly shattered.

Like glass fragments, “clatter clatter” falling to the ground.

He raised his arms and kept pulling on Dr. Agasa’s pants.

The corners of his mouth revealed an awkward arc.

“Don’t mention that heartless man, it’s been so long, he hasn’t even appeared, does he want to monopolize our Ran forever?”

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Conan with contempt.

Whenever she heard someone mention that heartless man at an inappropriate time.

A strange anger would erupt in her chest.

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko.

Her hair seemed to be burning with a raging fire.

The momentum was fierce, rushing straight to the ceiling.

She raised her fists and kept punching the air.

As if Kudo Shinichi was right in front of her.

“This... Shinichi-niisan... he must have been entangled in some case?”

Conan saw Suzuki Sonoko’s fierce momentum.

Couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

Sweat was dripping from his forehead.

The corners of his mouth curled helplessly, still wanting to try to save Kudo Shinichi’s reputation.

“Brat, what are you nervous about!”

Mouri Kogoro bent down with his hands in his pockets.

Looking at Conan suspiciously.

“Don’t talk nonsense, Shinichi and I have nothing!”

Mouri Ran waved her hands frantically.

Looking awkward.

“Oh? Then you admit that you and Hoshino-kun are compatible?”

Suzuki Sonoko teased from the side.

“Sonoko! Don’t talk nonsense!”

Mouri Ran was nervous.

Looking towards Hoshino Ki’s direction in a panic.

Fortunately.

Hoshino Ki didn’t care about what was happening here.

“It’s our turn, we want to try too!”

Children are not that interested in such topics.

For them.

They should focus their energy on the fresh things in front of them.

So Genta and Mitsuhiko ran to the machine together.

“Click!”

The photo was printed.

What was shown in the photo were two extremely ordinary high school boys.

“Hahaha, I’ve seen high school students like this too!”

Suzuki Sonoko was gloating!

Laughing until her stomach hurt next to the two.

Genta and Mitsuhiko were disappointed.

They couldn’t figure out why they looked like this when they grew up.

“You two, you both look very handsome.”

Mouri Ran squatted down.

Looking at the photos in their hands, comforting them gently.
