Hearing Heiji's identity, Ayako and the others were surprised.
"That's right, Heiji is a very good detective. Just by seeing a few drops of water on the floor and knowing it had rained, he was able to deduce which rooms were occupied. That's something an ordinary person couldn't do," Sonoko said enthusiastically.
Ran looked at Sonoko a bit strangely, but said nothing.
"And that makes him a detective? What a joke. At best, he just has a slightly sharper perception. Being a detective isn't something any high school student can just do," Ohta Masaru said with disdain.
"Oh, so what kind of high school student can be a detective, according to you, Ohta-senpai?" Kazuha asked, annoyed.
"Exactly, tell us," Sonoko supported her.
Sonoko is acting a bit weird. Could she really have started to like Heiji? But Heiji is Kazuha's boyfriend, this could ruin their relationship.
Sonoko's strange attitude caught Ran's attention, and she decided she would find a moment that night to talk to her best friend.
Ohta Masaru enjoyed being the center of attention. He leaned back on the sofa and said confidently, "At the very least, they have to be like that high school student, Kudo Shinichi."
"Shinichi? Are you talking about Shinichi? Have you seen him?"
Hearing Kudo Shinichi's name, Ran looked at Ohta Masaru with excitement, hoping to get some news about him.
"Miss, if you want to know, how about we take a walk in the rain? I'll tell you everything then," Ohta Masaru said with a glint in his eye.
This guy, I don't know him at all, he's lying. Ran, don't go!
Conan frowned as he looked at Ohta Masaru. That guy wanted to take advantage of Ran. "Sister Ran, don't believe him! Brother Shinichi doesn't know him!"
"As you wish, I'm not going to force you. I don't want Ayako and the others to think I'm forcing you."
Ohta Masaru felt sure of his victory. With his knowledge of women, he was convinced that this beautiful high school student named Ran would accept his request. As long as he could create an opportunity to be alone, with his tactics, conquering a high school girl would be a piece of cake.
"Sister Ran~~!!" Conan kept trying to convince her, feeling very nervous.
Ran lowered her head to think for a moment and then nodded slightly, "Alright. I hope you're not lying to me, Ohta-senpai."
After all, it was just a walk, nothing bad would happen.
"Sister Ran, I want to go too!" Conan said in a whiny voice.
"Miss Ran, just the two of us, eh?" Ohta Masaru said maliciously as he got up to grab an umbrella.
"Conan, it's raining outside, you can't come."
Ran stood up, getting ready to go out with Ohta Masaru.
"Ran, do you really believe that guy? I don't think he's a good person," Sonoko said, frowning her beautiful brows.
"Don't worry, Sonoko, he won't dare do anything to me. I haven't seen Shinichi in days and he hasn't called, I'm worried something happened to him," Ran said, picking up an umbrella and smiling.
"That idiot Kudo, what's his game, disappearing just like that? Is a case more important than Ran?" Sonoko was now very upset with Kudo Shinichi.
"Heiji, that person is no good. If Ran goes out with him, he'll surely take advantage of her. Quick, convince her not to go!" Kazuha whispered on Heiji's lap.
Heiji didn't want to get involved in that matter. Whether Ran was taken advantage of or not, it was her own decision, and it really had nothing to do with anyone else.
But, seeing Kazuha's worried look...
Well, anyway, Ran is a great beauty. It would be a shame if a guy like Ohta Masaru took advantage of her.
"Wait."
"Heiji, is something wrong?" Ran asked, turning around.
"Ran, do you really believe him?" Heiji said calmly.
Ran's gaze darkened, "It's just that I'm really worried about Shinichi."
"Still want news about Kudo Shinichi? If so, let's hurry up," Ohta Masaru said, annoyed.
"Ohta, that's enough," Ayako said, starting to get annoyed.
"Ohta, you're going a bit too far. If you know something, just say it," Kakutani Hiroki said from the side.
"Wow, after all this time and you're still the same. Is it really that fun to play with girls?" Ikeda Chikako said coldly.
"Ohta, don't keep it to yourself anymore, tell Miss Ran," Takahashi Ryoichi advised him.
"Hey, hey, let's get something straight. I'm not forcing her, she's the one who wants to. Besides, it's just a walk, what's wrong with that?" Ohta Masaru said, playing dumb.
"And if I told you I also have news about Kudo, would you believe me?"
Ran abruptly lifted her head and looked at Heiji. Her big, bright eyes showed a hint of doubt.
Heiji stared at her calmly. Success would depend on this. If Ran still went out with Ohta Masaru... then he would wash his hands of it.
After all, he had done what he could. Ran wasn't his girlfriend, he didn't have to wear himself out like this.
"Think carefully, you only have one chance. If you miss it, I won't say anything again," Ohta Masaru said, fanning the flames.
After a long moment, Ran smiled faintly and put the umbrella back in the stand.
"Ohta-senpai, I'm not going anymore."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly brightened.
"That's great, Ran! I knew you wouldn't be fooled so easily!" Sonoko said happily.
That girl, Ran! She doesn't listen to me, but she listens to Hattori! Damn it!
Conan felt a little annoyed, but mostly, relieved.
"Hmph, how boring."
Ohta Masaru snorted coldly, turned around, and walked out.
"Ohta, where are you going?"
"For a walk."
"Wait, I'll go with you," Kakutani Hiroki followed him quickly.
"Well, I'm going to rest in my room too," Takahashi Ryoichi said, and went straight upstairs.
"In that case, I'm going back to my room too. Ayako, call me for dinner," Ikeda Chikako said, and also left.
"Sonoko, help me cook."
After the two Suzuki sisters went to the kitchen, only Heiji and his group were left in the living room.
"Heiji, you were lying to me a moment ago, weren't you?" Ran asked in a low voice.
Heiji nodded, "I just didn't want that guy to take advantage of you."
"Yeah... thank you, Heiji. Shinichi wouldn't do something like that. He always disappoints, again and again."
Ran lowered her head, a hint of sadness about her.
Ran!!!
Conan's heart ached. He looked up and said, "Ran..."
"Aaaahhhhh!!!!"
Suddenly, the terrified screams of Sonoko and Ayako came from the kitchen.
"What happened?" Heiji and the others ran over.
"There... there was a strange man with his face covered in bandages who flashed past the window," Sonoko said, terrified.
