Chapter 79 Confidentiality and Doubts
Oops!

Conan's neck made a clicking sound like a rusty machine.

He turned his head stiffly and slowly and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka. Still holding a trace of luck in his heart, he asked cautiously and tentatively:

"Sister Ritsuka, you probably didn't see anything strange just now, right?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka replied with a smile:
"Did the strange thing you mentioned mean that you reasoned about the bow making Mr. Mori's voice?"

"."

It’s over.

Conan's whole body instantly turned gray-white, as if his soul had been taken away.

Perhaps the situation was too urgent at that time, and he only noticed avoiding the eyes of the people around him, but forgot about Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others who were standing further away.

How could he make such a low-level mistake? !

He had obviously noticed Fujimaru Ritsuka before this, why did he forget this at the critical moment!
Damn it, could it be that I forgot because I was too focused on reasoning? !

In any case, regretting is of no use anymore. What you should be thinking about now is how to deal with his behavior just now.

"As for this, actually, how should I put it?"

He wanted to explain something, but what he said was stumbling, and he couldn't form a complete sentence for a long time.

Damn it, the whole process was clearly seen, how could this be so perfunctory!

At this moment his heart is broken.

"Oh, idiot."

Really unable to stand Conan's behavior, Haihara Ai sighed helplessly.

Then, she turned to Fujimaru Ritsuka and asked:

"Regarding this matter, can you ask Ritsuka-san to help keep it secret? Because there are some reasons that cannot be explained at the moment."

Conan glanced at her speechlessly. With such a lackluster and feeble request, how could it be possible——

"sure."

"Eh?"

What he didn't expect was that Fujimaru Ritsuka just nodded and agreed easily.

His eyes widened in disbelief, feeling inexplicably unreal, and he couldn't help but confirm again:

"Is it really possible?"

"Really okay."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled again and answered in the affirmative, saying:
"Because you should also have your own difficulties."

However, because the results were obtained too easily, the current situation did not make him feel at ease, but instead caused greater doubts.

Faced with this obviously unusual scene, why could she be so calm and easily agree to keep it a secret for him?

Who is she and can she really be trusted?

Nowadays, the people who know his true identity include his parents, Dr. Agasa, Hattori Heiji, and Haibara Ai. Among them, Haibara Ai is the grasshopper with him. His parents and Dr. Agasa are both He is his most trusted relative.

Although Hattori Heiji is an outsider, at least the two of them get along well, and the other is also a detective, so he can be trusted.

But he really knew nothing about the personal information of Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of him.

Although the other party has not fully grasped his true situation, it has already grasped a considerable handle on him.

Having such a fatal handle in the hands of a stranger who didn't know the details really made him uneasy.

"Thank you, Sister Ritsuka."

But now, Conan can only express his gratitude first.

At least as far as the current situation is concerned, the other party should not have any ill intentions towards him, and judging from her conversation with Officer Megure, he should not be a suspicious person.

Let's investigate again after we get down, at least to find out the other party's identity.

"Conan-kun, you are here."

At this time Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro came over.

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mao Lilan seemed to have found the person to talk to, and said helplessly:

"I didn't expect something like this to happen. In the end, I didn't even get to eat."

"Yeah, it's really unlucky."

Fujimaru Ritsuka echoed, his expression showing the same helplessness. "Gu~"

At the same time, her stomach growled uncontrollably.

Seeing the looks from everyone, she immediately blushed and explained sheepishly:
"Because I haven't eaten yet today, so..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who is already very cute, looks even more adorable when she looks embarrassed, and her reddish cheeks give people the feeling of a small animal.

"Ha ha,"

Seeing this, Mao Lilan couldn't help but chuckle twice, then suddenly reacted and quickly explained to her:

"Sorry, I'm not laughing at you. I just think you looked really cute just now, Ritsuka."

"Actually, we're going to go home and cook for ourselves now. If you don't mind, how about coming to our house for dinner?"

Conan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt that this proposal was good, and he could also take the opportunity to find out the other party's information.

However, facing Mao Lilan's invitation, Fujimaru Ritsuka shook her head and declined with a smile:
"Thanks, but let's talk about it another time."

"I just came back from outside, and the house is already a little dusty. I'm still waiting for me to go back and clean up after dinner."

"That's it. Okay, let's do it next time."

Conan felt a little regretful when he heard this, while Mao Lilan nodded in understanding, made the agreement with a smile, and prepared to leave.

Finally, she smiled at Conan and said:

"Conan-kun, we are leaving. Let's say goodbye to Sister Lixiang and Xiao Ai."

Being a child is so tiring.

Conan rolled his eyes helplessly in his heart, ignored Haiyuan Ai's joking expression, and said goodbye obediently and cooperatively:
"Goodbye Sister Lixiang, goodbye Xiao Ai."

So Conan and the Mori family left, and Fujimaru Ritsuka and Haibara Ai returned to the streets and continued to look for food.

This time, she didn't think about it any more and just found a random ramen shop, but the taste was surprisingly good.

"It's so delicious, this ramen! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have wasted my time over there."

After a mouthful of hot ramen, she regained her energy again and couldn't help but sigh.

The owner of the ramen shop smiled boldly and said:
"Ah hahaha, if it's delicious, please come here more often!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka responded with a smile:
"Of course it is!"

The boss smiled even more happily when he heard this:

"Haha, if that's the case, then I'll give you another piece of barbecued pork!"

"thank you boss!"

Seeing this, the regular customers on the side took the opportunity to cheer:

"Hey, if that's the case, you should at least give us a piece of barbecued pork, right?"

"That's it!"

"Eat your food honestly! A bunch of crooked-looking guys still want to compare with this cute little girl, so you should be a little more self-aware, okay?"

"嘁——!"×n
The boss laughed and scolded the regular customers, causing a round of boos.

However, at this time, Haiyuan Ai, who was sitting next to her, was slightly quiet, which was out of tune with the lively atmosphere.

Seeing this, she asked with concern:
"Xiao Ai, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"It's nothing."

Hui Yuan Ai shook his head, seeming hesitant and not sure what he was thinking.

After finishing their meal, the two left the ramen shop and walked down the street to eat.

Fujimaru Ritsuka wondered whether she should send Haibara Ai home first before she went home to clean the room.

At this moment, Hui Yuan Ai, who had been silent since just now, suddenly stopped her.

"Sister Ritsuka."

"Well, what happened?"

Haibara Ai seemed to have made up her mind, looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, and finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask——

"Why, you never ask about my situation?"
