Chapter 190: Mother's Room

"Kudo, don't meddle in this matter anymore. I said coldly. "I'll take care of it myself, in my own way. ”

"What?!" Conan's pupils shrank suddenly, yes, Kaoru's words made him verify that he didn't feel wrong just now, the reason why the bird flew out was definitely that Kaoru had just released his murderous aura, and now he saw him so calm, because he had woken up from his anger and began to deal with this problem calmly, and the murderous aura that gushed out of anger was just that moment. However, Kaoru who calms down is even more terrible than Kaoru in anger, if Kaoru in anger will only use the gun in his hand to vent, then Kaoru who calms down after anger will not only shoot the enemy with a gun, but he will also use means to make the other party really regret coming to this world!

"Kaoru, you calm diǎn, this matter ......"

"I'm calm. Ignoring Conan's panicked words, I was extremely silent. "I repeat, you don't need to meddle in this matter anymore, I will solve it myself. ”

"You ......" got stuck in my mouth, and Conan pulled me and walked around the corner to avoid everyone. "Kaoru, you promised me. You're not going to kill anymore!"

"Yes, but that was until I fulfilled your promise to me. I looked at Conan indifferently. There is not the slightest hint of diǎn emotion. "You said that you would not give me the opportunity to kill, and you said that you would do your best to strangle the evil in this world. However, I promise you the condition that my family will not be harmed in any way. And today, your promise has not been fulfilled. ”

"I ......"

"Kudo, you've broken your word. "There was a coldness in my gaze. "So, I'll solve the matter this time, and you are not allowed to interfere with it!"

"No way! Since the case happened, I can't leave it alone!" Conan yelled at me angrily, "I will still honor my promise, I will personally arrest the criminals! I will strangle all the evils in this world, including you! I will not let you commit any more crimes, absolutely not!" Conan was furious, and his tone was a little anxious. It was even more with a concern for me. He didn't want me to be a killer and get it wrong. That's why I just said that.

"...... "Face Conan Anger] (9) dǐng] (9) diǎn] (9) 小] (9) said, .▼.⊙os_ (); My brow furrowed slightly, but I was quickly relieved. "So be it. I said lightly. "In that case, I'll give you a chance. ”

"What?" Conan was puzzled.

"Give you a chance to find the prisoner faster than I do. ”

"Huh?"

"From today onwards, I will use my own methods to find the prisoner, and I will not do anything excessive in the meantime. At the same time, you can also use your detective mind to investigate this case, and if you find the culprit before me, let him be brought to justice. Then this time my mother was victimized, I will not think it happened, and you will not break your word. But if it's the prisoner I found first......"

"Then he'll be at your disposal!" Conan called out to me.

"Oh?" Conan's reply surprised me slightly.

"If you can find the prisoner before I do, then he's at your disposal!" Conan glared at me.

"Oh, you're pretty confident in yourself. I looked at Conan with a sneer. "Okay, then I'll also increase the stakes, if you win, from today onwards I won't touch anything related to crime, and I will be a normal child wholeheartedly. How?"

"It's a deal!"

"Hehe, it's a deal. ”

——————————— Detective Conan's Fourteenth Target—————————————

When we left the hospital and got home, it was already late in the evening. Xiaolan and her father were already very tired and didn't have the heart to cook, so we casually ordered takeout to fill our stomachs and passed over as dinner.

The atmosphere of dinner was slightly thicker. Including Xiaolan, everyone had no appetite because of her mother's affairs, so they ate a few bites hastily and went to rest. Dad is going to continue investigating the case tomorrow. Ran wanted to take me and Conan to see her mother, but Conan was going to the doctor's side, one to check and fix his solar skateboard, and the other to start investigating the case. After all, my bet with him has officially begun. He also knew the terrible method of my methods, so he began to devote himself to this case.

The next day, I went to the hospital with Xiaolan, and after a day of inpatient observation, my mother's body was basically recovered. Although it is still a little weak, it is no longer a big problem, and all that remains is to cultivate well.

Midori Kuriyama, my mother's secretary, went to the hospital to get a discharge certificate, and the three of us sent my mother home together.

Back home, Xiaolan and Midori Kuriyama helped their mother to bed together, although I can do these things alone, but in the current situation, I can only stand by my mother's side like a real child and watch her quietly.

"Miss Kuriyama, I'm really bothering you today. Xiaolan bowed slightly to Kuriyama Midori.

"Where, that's what I'm supposed to do. Midori Kuriyama is her mother's secretary, but she is actually her student and assistant. "Then, the teacher will trouble you, I need to rush back to the company immediately, if there is anything, please feel free to call me. With that, Kuriyama Midori bowed slightly to Xiaolan, and then turned to look at the mother lying on the bed. "Teacher, please take a good rest, and the company will leave it to me for the time being. ”

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Mom smiled with relief.

"Well, then, I'll take my leave. After saying that, Midori Kuriyama greeted again and left his mother's apartment.

"Then, Mom, you can sleep for a while, and I'll go get some porridge for you." Xiaolan didn't sit too long, so she got up to make lunch for her mother, and I, of course, sat next to my mother and stayed with her.

"Kaoru-chan, I'm sorry to let you see me so weak. After Xiaolan walked out the door, her mother sat up from the bed weakly.

"Auntie, don't get up yet, it's better to lie down and rest for a while. "Even though I said that, I still helped my mother up.

"Well, I'm fine. Mom sat up. "It's a pity, I can't look at the room here now, see for yourself, you didn't come to my bedroom last time, maybe after you see the way this place, you'll want to come to live with me from that bad old man." ”

"Ahem......" I coughed awkwardly, and I have to say that my mother really persevered in trying to get me from my father. Smiled helplessly, and then stood up, I looked around the house, I really didn't come into my mother's room last time, this time I looked at it, the whole room is a pale yellow theme, clean, tidy, looks like a different kind of warmth. It seems that every piece of furniture is carefully designed before it is placed. On the neat makeup table, there was a family photo of our family, as well as a recent photo of Xiaolan, as well as a group photo of my mother and father.

"Huh?" I frowned slightly at the sight of something on the table. It was a small wooden table, and on top of the wooden platform was a delicate velvet towel, and on top of the velvet towel was a cup printed with a lavender pattern.

"This is ......," I frowned at the crudely made cup.

"This is the only gift you gave me back then. Behind me, a loving voice came, and when I turned around, I saw my mother smiling softly at me. Alas...... Looks like my mom has taken notice of me. But I still can't admit it.

"Auntie, I didn't send ......" frowned, I just wanted to refute, but was interrupted by my mother.

"Alright, Kaoru-chan. Don't say it, I understand. "Mom didn't let me continue. Instead, he looked at me with a sad look in his eyes. "I know, you're my little Kaoru, but I can't identify myself for many reasons. ”

"......" faced with my mother's words, I couldn't help frowning.

"Do you remember this mug? You gave it to me on my birthday before you disappeared. A trace of longing slipped between my mother's eyebrows. "That year, you said that the lavender on the cup is your symbol, you said, you like the feeling of being held in the palm of your mother's hand. So I've kept it all these years. At this point, my mother's face showed a little sadness. "It's a pity that on the night of your disappearance, the cup cracked, and although I had the best craftsmen to glue the crack, the crack that had split the lavender in half could not be erased. ”

Listening to my mother's words, I flipped the cup in my hand, and indeed, in the very center of the lavender, a small crack was twisting and splitting the lavender in two. Although there were traces of repair, the crack was so glaring.

"Remember the last time we ate together at the restaurant?" said my mother when she saw that I was silent. "That time, I deliberately diǎn two dishes, one is your favorite beef, and the other is shiitake mushrooms that you will never eat. ”

Hearing this, my expression changed slightly, indeed, I remember when I was a child, every time my mother asked me what I wanted to eat, I would always say that I wanted to eat beef, because beef is the best food for me to increase my strength. As for shiitake mushrooms, although I have never been a picky eater, there is only one thing I will never eat, and that is shiitake mushrooms. For some reason, as soon as I ate that thing, my stomach reacted naturally. So at any time, I don't touch it. I remember when I was a child, my mother secretly put some chopped shiitake mushrooms in the dish in order to prevent me from being picky eaters, and the result was that I vomited nonstop, and finally I had a fever and went to the hospital. Since then, my mother has never dared to eat shiitake mushrooms at home or outside once as long as she takes me.

"You have only moved one of these two dishes that I deliberately diǎn, this diǎn, you can't deny it, right?" Mom smiled at me as if the corners of her mouth were curled up as if she had triumphantly. "For all sorts of reasons, your cousin is too similar to my little Kaoru, even if Kogoro's old man can't recognize you, but how can I not recognize my own child as a mother?"

"But Auntie, my age is here. I said helplessly, my mother is worthy of being the queen of the lawyers, and I have no room to refute what she said. So I had to cover it up with age.

"Still don't you want to admit it?" At this point, my mother's eyebrows showed a little sadness. It seemed that she had been talking for too long, so that her body, which had just recovered much, began to weaken a little again.

"Auntie, don't think about it anymore, it's more important to have a good rest now. I interrupted my mother's words, although my mother herself has identified my identity, but from my side, naturally there is no way to admit it.

"Do you really want me to drag you for a NA test before you admit it?" said her mother's eyes, which glistened with tears. "Kaoru, I don't mean to embarrass you, I also know that you must have your troubles for hiding it like this, but I ...... But I just want to hear you call Mommy again!"

A simple sentence, but it shook my heart with extraordinary ferocity. Mom, these two words are clearly in my mouth, but trying to shout it out is incomparably difficult. I didn't answer my mother's words, I just watched her cry silently, lowered my head and looked at the lavender cup in my hand, and couldn't help but clench my hand a little. (To be continued.) )
