Chapter 326! Wang Changsheng, get rid of the rat, get rid of the rat!
"It seems like no one's watching over this place, Brother Changsheng. Do you think we could sneak in if we go this way? I don't think we'd get caught." Conan peeked at the community center ahead for a while, then suddenly turned around and said to Wang Changsheng behind him.
"You still want to go over there?" Wang Changsheng chuckled. "Aren't you afraid that if you sneak in, they'll find out and make things even more ugly? Uncle Maoli will definitely give you a good spanking then."
Conan, that guy, he never learns from his mistakes.
He even tried to sneak in, wasn't he afraid that if he did something else and got caught, it would make things even more difficult for Uncle Mori and Sonomi?
Of course, he couldn't let Conan go there now.
He hasn't completely sorted out that series of footprints yet.
"It's too slow to handle with one hand."
Wang Changsheng pointed his finger, and instantly another hundred identical magical hands flew out, landing on the beach and beginning the cleanup work.
"But the way they're preventing us from going in means they must be hiding something from us. If we don't go in now, it'll be hard to find out what they're up to later." Conan frowned. He had a feeling that this memorial service wasn't a regular commemoration.
Besides, he was just a former village chief. Is it really necessary to hold a memorial service for him every year?
Could it be that the former village chief made some extraordinary contribution to this island?
Otherwise, how could the people on the island hold a memorial service for him every year?
However, since he arrived on the island, he and Uncle Mori have inquired around and never heard anyone praise the former village chief. On the contrary, they have been full of praise for the current village chief.
Almost everyone I asked said that the current village chief has a good business sense and has made a lot of money with the island's residents.
Given this, is a former village chief who leaves little impression or trace among the island's residents worthy of such a grand memorial service?
"Or is it that the current village chief actually has some connection with the former village chief, and that's why he did this out of personal feelings..." Conan thought for a moment and came up with a possibility.
If the two village chiefs have a deep friendship, then holding a memorial service for each other every year shouldn't be a big deal.
After all, it seems that the previous village chief was not many years ago, and the current village chief is probably not tired or bored yet, plus he has a high reputation among the island's residents.
Conan felt that besides the possibility that the two had a personal relationship, the current village chief probably wanted to use this incident to promote his kindness and virtue.
After all, they are officials, big or small.
It's only natural to have such thoughts.
Moreover, once you have prestige, it will be much easier for you, as the village chief, to manage the island's security and culture.
"I can't control what they do, but little Conan, look, it's completely dark now, and the sea in front of us is pitch black. It looks kind of scary to me. You'd better not run around."
Seeing that Conan was still pondering and trying to enter the community center, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but try to persuade him.
"What if you ran off and got swept away by the sea? That would be a death sentence! You said I brought you out but didn't bring you back. What do you want Uncle Mori and Sister Ran to think of me? How am I supposed to explain this?"
Wang Changsheng patted Conan's shoulder earnestly, looking like a caring older brother: "Nan, since you came out with me, you should listen to me. Do you hear me? Besides, there's no one else here. I'm your older brother. They say an elder brother is like a father, and now I'm your father. As a child, shouldn't you listen to your father?"
Conan: "?"
After doing all this, Wang Changsheng smiled and looked at Conan again.
However, when the latter saw Wang Changsheng looking at him like that, his body couldn't help but tremble three times.
"What are you going to do now? What else do you want to say? Say everything you have to say! When I get back, I'll tell Aunt Daidouji everything! You'll be in big trouble!"
Conan's expression of facing certain death amused Wang Changsheng.
"Honestly, Conan, you're talking nonsense again. Whatever I say is for your own good. Instead of thanking me, you're trying to accuse me of lying!"
Wang Changsheng's expression turned somewhat disappointed. He shook his head, sighed, and looked genuinely heartbroken.
"In that case, let's go back. We've already come this far, there's nowhere left to stroll around." Wang Changsheng said, turning around and leading the little wolf back the way they came.
"Huh?" Conan was stunned to see Wang Changsheng about to go back without any hesitation.
He glanced suspiciously at Wang Changsheng's retreating figure.
"What kind of tormenting scheme is this guy plotting now?" Conan was somewhat incredulous that Wang Changsheng had really just left like that.
Could it be that Kuku really came all this way just for a walk?
I'm truly impressed!
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and catch up, or I won't be responsible if you get lost." Seeing that there was no movement behind him, Wang Changsheng turned around and found that Conan was still standing in the same place. He couldn't help but urge him.
"Are we really going back like this?" Conan asked, unwilling to give up.
"What else is there to do?" Wang Changsheng asked with a puzzled look.
"..." Conan was once again rebuffed, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only silently follow behind Wang Changsheng.
Never mind, although he wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into the piano room and see why Hirata Kazuaki valued that piano so much.
However, he was now following Wang Changsheng, and if he were to sneak in on his own, it would be difficult to explain to the people outside. Moreover, he estimated that it would be very difficult for him to sneak in, as that bastard Wang Changsheng would definitely stop him.
It is said that getting too angry can shorten one's lifespan. Although he has turned back into a primary school student, he does not want to be angered to death by this guy too soon.
If he, as a primary school student, were to be so angry that he died, Wang Changsheng would probably laugh himself to death.
"Damn it, if I had known that this way I could get to the back of the community center, I would have come out for a walk by myself!" Conan gritted his teeth.
He followed behind Wang Changsheng and Xiaolang, doing nothing unusual, simply returning to Uncle Maoli and Xiaolan along the same route.
As soon as the group appeared, Xiaolan immediately came to greet them.
He had been keeping an eye on this area, and when he saw the three of them emerge from the woods, he immediately ran over and grabbed Conan, afraid that he might slip away again in the blink of an eye.
"Chang Sheng, I'm so sorry to have troubled you. Conan must have caused you a lot of trouble on the way, right? He's usually too hyperactive. It's all my fault for not teaching him properly, which is why he's so naughty," Xiao Ran said apologetically to Wang Chang Sheng.
But Conan in his hands was practically rolling his eyes to the heavens.
Who is causing trouble for whom?
It's clearly Wang Changsheng who lacks manners!
What does this have to do with me?!
I've been the one suffering the whole way!
Xiaolan, wake up!
Although Conan is a complete atheist, at this moment, he couldn't help but think of something—
"God, can you please punish this guy? I'd prefer he be struck dead by lightning!"

Conan rolled his eyes in Ran's arms, while Wang Changsheng smiled innocently at him: "Oh, Ran-neechan, you don't need to apologize! Conan is actually quite sensible. On the way here, he said that an older brother is like a father and that he will listen to me."
"Huh?" Ran was taken aback when she heard this, and looked down at Conan in her hand.
The latter, who was rolling her eyes, noticed Xiaolan's gaze and quickly managed to control her expression. Then she blinked and shook her head with a pitiful look: "I'm not..."
He was about to explain that these words were spoken by Wang Changsheng and had nothing to do with him; that Wang Changsheng was taking advantage of him.
However, Uncle Mori didn't give him a chance to explain. Hearing Wang Changsheng say this, he immediately snorted coldly: "You still say you don't like your brother Changsheng? You even said things like 'elder brother is like a father.' How do you know so much at such a young age?"
After finishing his sentence, Uncle Mori kept muttering, "We've only known each other for a short time, how many times have we met, and they've already considered each other that kind of relationship? He lives in my house, eats my food and uses my things, and when something happens to him, I have to clean up his mess. He doesn't treat me like a father at all."
Upon hearing this, Conan was practically spitting blood: "I didn't..."
He wanted to deny it three times.
However, Uncle Mori waved his hand and said, "Come on, you're a man, it's nothing. What's there to be ashamed of if you said it? This just shows that you and your brother Changsheng have a good relationship, which is a good thing!"
Although Uncle Mori felt a little resentful, if he could help Conan and Wang Changsheng build a good relationship, then he could also take the opportunity to further improve his relationship with Wang Changsheng, which would indeed be a good thing.
"I..." Conan's eyes widened.
Just then, Wang Changsheng added insult to injury: "Ran, don't let Conan's mischievous appearance fool you. He likes to run around and touch people's things without permission, like the piano..."
"But I know that Conan isn't inherently naughty; he's a good kid! He just made a mistake that all kids make."
For example, frequently touching things that don't respect others' privacy, having annoyingly prying questions, etc.
Message: Negative points from Conan Edogawa +1000
Ah ah ah ah ah!
Wang Changsheng, you brat, get out of here! Get out of here!
Conan was so angry that his eyes turned red. He wanted to say something, but what came out of his mouth was:
"Aba aba..."
