Chapter 278 Your singing ruins your companions

At the KTV, Maori Ran and Sonoko came to sing and have fun. It happened that Maori Kogoro had no commission, so he brought Ling Cheng and Conan who were also at Maori's office.

Ling Cheng sent a message to Ling Shi, but Ling Shi just replied with a candle-lighting emoticon.

Ling Cheng felt puzzled. Could it be that something bad happened in the KTV again? This time they were just in their own private room. Could it be that there was something unstable in the KTV?

When Ling Cheng asked about it, Ling Shi just sent another smiley face emoticon and said it was okay. In the end, Ling Cheng decided not to tell Conan, so as to avoid making a fuss about it.

It was right for Ling Cheng not to tell Conan, because after Conan took the microphone and sang, Ling Cheng already knew what zero hour meant.

Covering his ears, Ling Cheng ran away under the pretext of going to the bathroom, leaving behind an embarrassed Ran Mouri and an expressionless Sonoko. Conan was too engrossed in singing to notice.

When he came back at the end of a song, Conan asked Ling Cheng where he had been, and Ling Cheng just stared at him.

No, don’t you know that listening to your singing will ruin me. If I don’t escape, do you want to destroy me?

Conan obviously understood Ling Cheng's meaning, and said with a guilty conscience:

"It's not that bad, is it?"

Ling Cheng: "Oh, more than that, he's clearly tone-deaf."

Conan: "Hey, hey, there's no need to be so extreme. Come on if you can."

Ling Cheng: "Better than you anyway."

The two kids were in a stalemate, and finally Ling Cheng actually sang a few lines of Conan's song to him. The key point was Conan's voice.

Conan was shocked.

"My voice, how are you."

Conan immediately thought of the voice changer, but after looking left and right, Ling Cheng didn't make any move to use the voice changer, and he was also very surprised.

Then Ling Cheng said proudly:

"Well, I sing much better than you. The same voice sounds different when it's sung by someone else."

Now Conan was convinced, but at the same time he remembered another person he knew who could change his voice, Kaito Kid, and became suspicious.

"How did your voice change?"

Ling Cheng said casually: "I learned it. I found a new teacher for me at midnight. Isn't he amazing? I just tried it out and it's surprisingly good. Just like you, right?"

"Like...new teacher, who?"

Ling Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"Hey, hey, what's with that skeptical tone? You don't think Kaito Kid is the only one who can change his voice, right? Doesn't your mom also know how to do it?"

Conan scratched his head. The last time he was fooled by Kid and failed to catch him left a big mark in Conan's heart. Without any new cases, he would probably be stressed for a while.

But Conan was puzzled again:

"Then why did you suddenly learn to change your voice?"

Ling Cheng: "I'm interested. I got interested after seeing your mother and Kaito Kid's tricks. I also found a teacher recently, so I started learning."

"You don't know because I think you're not interested. Otherwise, I would have asked your mother to teach you a long time ago. Why, are you interested?"

Conan shook his head and decided to forget it. He had already troubled his mother with his singing before and even learned voice changing. He didn't want to make things difficult for the teacher.

Ling Cheng was actually just tricking him, pretending not to care so that Conan wouldn't care anymore. After all, it was Kaito Kid who taught him.

Ever since Zero Hour signed the agreement with Kaito Kidd, Ling Cheng came over to ask when Zero Hour came back. He didn't forget what Zero Hour said before.

Zero Hour: "You still remember it, why are you so interested?"

Ling Cheng nodded vigorously. This was very interesting. Besides, it was always good to have many skills. Since Zero Hour didn't teach him, now that he had contact with Kaito Kidd, couldn't he just learn from him directly?

Lingshi shrugged and said that he had to discuss this with him. What he said would not count. He could only call a certain Kuroba Kaito classmate in front of Ling Cheng.

When Kuroba Kaito heard about this, he also remembered it, but he had suffered so much at the hands of Ling Cheng before, so it was not possible for him to teach him unconditionally.

Ling Cheng came close to the phone and acted weak and coquettish. Kuroba Kaito thought of the evil monster kid who made this kind of sound before, and he trembled.

Kuroba Kaito was a bit bothered and had no intention of agreeing, but Ling Cheng was very determined and took action after getting his cell phone number and identity from Lingshi.

Kuroba Kaito contacted Lingshi, who said that Ling Cheng had come there on his own and it had nothing to do with him directly.

Kuroba Kaito: Then there is an indirect relationship.

Zero hour: It cannot be said, it cannot be said.

In the end, Kuroba Kaito was helpless. This little brat had already chased him to school and was acting cute in front of Aoko, causing Aoko to speak up for him.

Ling Cheng: It took me two months of housework and massage to get this information out of Lingshi, hehe.

Ling Cheng got what he wanted. Kuroba Kaito accepted the tuition and a student paid by Ling Shi with tears in his eyes. Ling Cheng was a smart kid and not difficult to teach. He even learned a few magic tricks from him when he was bored.

Kuroba Kaito and Ling Cheng have reconciled their past grudges, and Ling Cheng also said that he will never help Conan if he catches Kaito Kid in the future.

Not only did Conan lose a big threat, but he also gained a little traitor on his side. Kuroba Kaito cried with joy.

Kuroba Kaito: "Good student, your teacher is very pleased."

Ling Cheng: "Yeah."

So Ling Cheng happily went to Kuroba Kaito's place often, and even went to the Maori Detective Agency less often. When Conan asked him about it, he just said he had something to do.

Conan hadn't thought about this aspect. After all, Ling Cheng had no obligation to tell him if something happened, so he didn't care. Now that the truth was revealed, Conan suddenly realized it.

Conan: "I was wondering why you haven't been seen much lately. Why don't you just use a voice changer like me?"

Ling Cheng: "You're only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Okay, I have to go to class today, you guys continue playing, I'm leaving."

Ling Cheng said goodbye to Mao Lilan and the others, saying that he was going to class and told them to have fun. Conan was left to his own devices.

Suzuki Sonoko: "You're really working too hard to still take classes during the holidays."

Mao Lilan: "Ling Cheng is in the sixth grade of elementary school. Is that to prepare for junior high school?"

Ling Cheng shook his head.

"It's just an interest class. I want to go by myself. I'll be leaving first."

After hearing this, the two of them suddenly realized and waved goodbye. Ran Mouri turned around and asked Conan if he didn't want to go?

Yuanzi said meanly:

"You don't want to go to class because you want to play around, do you?"

Conan: Haha, no.

"Because I'm not interested. Uncle Lingshi said that at my age, I just need to have fun. My grades aren't bad anyway."

How could it be bad? He is a high school student attending elementary school. That makes sense. Mao Lilan nodded, thought about it and asked again:

"Won't Conan be lonely if Ling Cheng goes to cram school? He's usually inseparable from his brother."

Conan shook his head.

"No, it's not like Brother Ling Cheng won't go home."

"That's it."

Seeing that there was really nothing wrong with Conan, Mao Lilan stopped worrying. Sonoko didn't think so. Conan didn't look like a clingy brother at all, and they were not real brothers.

After dinner, they would talk about cases together, such as old cases from other countries, which Ling Cheng would dig up and discuss with him.

For me, it is like exercising my reasoning ability, and those cases are indeed worth watching, and the process of solving the cases is worth learning.

In the beginning, he was actually telling Ling Cheng about a mystery novel, and then Ling Cheng suddenly had an idea. He didn't know where he got it from, but there were many cases in it that he had never seen before.

What did Ling Cheng say?

"If you want to become a better detective, these should be essential. Come, let's take a look at this."

Ling Cheng: It’s definitely not that I’m not interested in Sherlock Holmes, I just want to learn new knowledge with Conan.
