Chapter 165: Detonating the skyscraper

"That's it. At nine o'clock in the evening, at the subway station not far from the Mihua Building, the garden that had accompanied Xiaolan for a day was finally leaving. "This child, really don't live in my house?" Before leaving, Yuan Zi tried his best to fight for Xiaolan's foster care rights for the last time.

"Well, no need, let's let Kaoru follow me. Xiaolan looked at my pitiful Baba eyes full of hope, and smiled awkwardly, "Thank you for being with me for so long today, Yuanzi." ”

"It's okay, it's okay~" Yuan Zi waved his hand handsomely, and shouted to Xiaolan as he walked towards the subway. "You're going to have to report to me the progress of the two of you another day, at least to the point of kissing~"

"Aha, ahahaha~" Facing the back of the garden, Xiaolan had to smile awkwardly, and at the same time, her cheeks became red because of the garden's words, and there was even a little expectation and excitement. "Well, let's go, Kaoru-chan. ”

"Hmm~"

Following Xiaolan, we came to the Rice Flower Building together. As one of the core buildings of Rice Flower City, this building naturally stands on the commercial street of Rice Flower City, looking up at the huge movie poster at the building, and then looking at Xiaolan's expectant look, suddenly a helpless bitter smile climbed into the corner of my mouth. Poor Kudo is still discussing the case with Officer Twilight and his father at the police hospital. It's so hard to get there at ten o'clock.

Just a few hours ago, after Conan and I hung up the phone, Conan called Officer Twilight as Shinichi Kudo and told him about the bomb, and after contacting the city railway personnel, the police began to cooperate with the personnel to clean up the bomb in the tracks. And at about half past five in the afternoon, all the bombs were defused. However, Kudo's battle with the prisoners did not end there, as Officer Twilight's investigation revealed that only a quarter of all the bombs disposed of by the police accounted for a quarter of all stolen bombs, and the remaining bombs were still in the hands of the prisoners. So, Kudo simply sent me a report on the defusal of the loop bomb and immediately plunged into a new investigation. At the same time, I also told him to let him concentrate on the case, and I will help him deal with it.

"Na, Kaoru, what kind of expression do you say Shinichi will have when he comes later?" Xiao Lan pulled me to sit in the back of the movie theater and thought.

"Hmm...... I guess I came in a hurry, and then gasped and apologized for being late, right?" I thought about and replied. Remember before the age of six. Every time Ran-chan asks Kudo to come out to play, the kid is always late. I guess it's the same this time, right? Of course, if he can really come as Kudo.

"Hey~ Kaoru's thoughts are the same as mine. Xiaolan said excitedly. "I remember when I was in school, no matter how much time I hung out with him, he would always be late. Then he apologized with a playful look. It's really funny to watch him beg for mercy. Xiaolan looked yearning, but soon, that yearning turned into gloom. "Seriously, I haven't seen him in a long time, and I don't know how he's been doing lately. ”

“...... It's okay, Sister Xiaolan. It's been a long time since you've seen each other, but won't you see each other soon today?"

"Huh...... That's right. I think what I'm doing here. Xiaolan shook her head. "By the way, Kaoru, I forgot to ask you, when is your birthday?"

"Huh?!" the sudden question made me slightly stunned. Why did Lan ask me this question? Did she find something......?" Why did you suddenly ask this, Sister Xiaolan. I asked tentatively.

"Because in a little while it's Shinichi's birthday. I bought a gift for him. Two weeks later, May 18 will be my birthday. But I don't know your birthday yet. When you celebrate your birthday, my sister will buy you a gift. ”

"This ...... That's right. "I'm ashamed. "That...... My birthday, like Sister Xiaolan, is also May 18th. ”

"Eh?!, wouldn't it?" Xiaolan was surprised.

"Well, yes. I took out the copy ID card that Skinny Wolf had given me from my pocket and handed it to Xiaolan. My personal information is detailed on it. Of course, everything is fake, but there is a place to be found. The reason why I showed Xiaolan this was because I was afraid that she would think too much. If I take out my identity card, it can effectively dispel or even stifle Xiaolan's chance of discovering my identity.

"It's true~" Looking at the number on the identity card, Xiaolan smiled happily. "Hee-hee, Kaoru-chan. We're really connected. ”

"Yes, I also think it's very close to Sister Xiaolan~" I smiled at Xiaolan with my little white teeth.

"That. To celebrate, I found a younger brother who was born on the same day as me, Kaoru-chan, and my sister will take you downstairs to the game hall to have a good time. Xiaolan said to me with a smile.

"Ah, then no. I refused. "What if Brother Shinichi comes early and can't see us. It's better for us to wait here. ”

"Well, that's right. Xiaolan thought about it and gave up this idea, "But Xiao Xun, you are really sensible." No wonder the garden likes you so much. It makes me think a little ......" said Xiaolan, who leaned closer to my cheek and looked at me with a smile. Facing Xiaolan, who was getting closer, I suddenly noticed that my cheeks began to heat up. And there is a hint of wanting to go back. What's wrong with me. I'm facing my sister, why do I want to go back? And this feeling is familiar. It's like...... The feeling of facing a still flow. That's right, it's Silent Stream! and it's about to ...... me

"Woo woo woo...... "My thoughts haven't been cleared up, and I have been held in Xiaolan's arms.

"Ha~ It's really a cute child~" I don't know if I was infected by the garden, Xiaolan at this time seemed to enjoy the action of holding the doll, but I was not so comfortable in Xiaolan's arms, not just because the person holding me was Xiaolan. And because Xiaolan ignored it, there was a brooch pinned to her chest.

"Eh, I'm sorry, Kaoru, did my brooch stab you?" Sensing my struggle, Xiaolan subconsciously let go of her hand, and at the same time saw that the right side of my face was a little red.

"Ahh No, it's fine. I rubbed the flush on the right side of my face, and then looked at the brooch on Xiaolan's chest.

"This ......" Xiaolan noticed my gaze, so she took off the brooch and held it in her hand. There is endless tenderness between the eyebrows and eyes. "This brooch was when I was a child. The last gift that Kaoru's brother gave me. ”

"Huh?"

――――The smell of orchids, the taste of lavender, the taste of home > the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians――――

"Now, Kaoru-chan, do you think I'm stupid?"

I don't know how long it was silent, but I heard Xiaolan's slightly choked voice in my ears. "This brooch was the last gift I bought for me ten years ago, before my brother disappeared. After that, Kaoru's brother disappeared, no matter how much my parents and the police looked for him, and this brooch became the last and only link between me and my brother. ”

"Xiaolan ......" looked at Xiaolan holding a brooch. I couldn't help but feel a bitter emotion welling up in my heart.

"Although I have always kept this brooch well, it has never withstood the baptism of time and faded its color, and even the frame is a little yellow. If it had been before, my brother would have come up to me and say, 'Xiaolan, this brooch is too old, put it away.' I'll buy you another new one. So, I wore it on my body and waited for my brother to come back and say it to me personally. But ......" At this point, the mist in Xiaolan's eyes had condensed into crystal tears. It seems that in the next second, it will slide down the corner of the eye. "A few days ago, I seemed to have a dream, dreaming of my brother's figure, dreaming that my brother returned to me. But when I woke up, everything about my brother was gone. I was the only one in the room. And this brooch. It's still the same, without the slightest change. ”

"Naw. Kaoru, brother, he ...... You say, brother, will he come back?"

"It will!" I answered what I was thinking. "He's going to be back, and the day he's going to be ......"

Jingle Bell ...... Jingle Bell ......

A pleasant ringtone interrupted my words, it was Xiaolan's mobile phone. I took out my mobile phone from my backpack and saw that the contact was Conan. Xiaolan saw Conan's name, looked at her watch again, and found that the hands had pointed to ten o'clock, and picked up the phone.

"Sister Xiaolan, hurry up and get out of there!"

"What are you talking about, Conan?"

"Hurry up and get out of the Rice Flower Building! there's a bomb there!"

"Bomb, bomb?"

"What!?" Hearing Xiaolan's words, my pupils suddenly contracted, and the muscles in my whole body tensed for a moment. Unfortunately, before I could react, a huge vibration suddenly hit us, and then a large hole was blown out in the wall of the floor where the movie theater was located, and a strong blast of wind poured in, and the people around me flew upside down because of the explosion.

"Lan! Danger!"

"Huh?!"

The moment the blast poured in, I jumped out and pushed Xiaolan out of the blast area, and I was swept out by the blast. However, I have long been accustomed to this kind of impact, so I stabilized my body with a somersault, and after landing on the ground, I ran in the direction of Xiaolan again. Because I knew that once the blast was over in the building, there would inevitably be a danger of the floor collapsing. Coupled with the fact that the building is a product of the bubble economy, it is even more fragile. Fortunately, the power of the explosion this time is not strong, otherwise the entire movie theater may be blown up.

Sure enough, just after the blast stopped, the roof began to collapse. Huge rubble fell all over the hall, and above Xiaolan's head, there was also a lot of rubble smashing downward. Even if Xiaolan is a karate master, she has no room to react in the face of this situation. Watching countless rubble and rubble smashing towards her, Xiaolan could only stare blankly at the top of her head. But there was no movement of the body. However, in the next second, as if time suddenly slowed down several times, Xiaolan's shoulder felt a huge thrust, this force was enough to make herself fly upside down, looking at the source of the force, only to see a faint pale gold swaying in front of his eyes, and the pale gold owner, at this time, was vacating in front of his eyes, showing a reassuring smile to himself. Then, in an instant, that smile was obscured by countless rubble.

"Kaoru !!" (to be continued)
