Chapter Seventy-Three: Memories Flash

After turning a few paths, Shiho and I arrived at Kudo-taku. Looking through the iron gate, the ground was covered with fallen leaves and dust, and it seemed that it had not been cleaned for a while.

"Whew...... It seems that no one has returned. "Standing at the gate, I can't help but sigh.,It's finally close to the plot.,It's not easy to come over in the past ten years.,Although there are ambitions all the way.,Quiet flow their company.,But if you don't enter the main line, you always feel weird.。 The advantage of my time traveler has been left after ten years of baptism, but fortunately, I remember the murder of Akemi very clearly, I don't care about anything else, at least I have to change this plot.

"Allah, Lord Killer, what are you doing in a daze?" Shiho said with a playful smile when he saw me staring at the building in front of me. "Still thinking about your sister Bei?"

"Hey, hey......" The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, looking at Shiho, who was still eating flying vinegar. "I was really defeated by you, a jealous little princess. I said helplessly. "I was just wondering how I could walk in a yard like this without leaving a trace. By the way, how did you get in last time?" I suddenly came to my senses, how did Shiho walk in without leaving a trace a month ago?

"Who is jealous. Shiho's cheeks were slightly red, and he gave me a strange look, and said slowly. "Last time, it was a member of the perimeter who shot directly and broke the door lock, and after the investigation, he changed it to a new big lock. Of course, the changed lock is the same as the original lock. I also got a new key. Shiho said as he pulled out a shiny metal from the pocket of his white coat. Walk towards the gate.

Click.

A small voice sounded, and the lock of the gate opened, and Shiho stepped inside.

"Wait a minute, Shiho!" I hurriedly stopped her.

"What's the matter, Lord Killer. Shiho looked back at me with a frown.

"Hee-hee, didn't you leave footprints when you walked in like this?" I scratched my head and smiled.

"It's okay, the footprints from last time are still there anyway. Shiho pointed to the ground, in the past month, there has been neither wind nor rain, and the traces on the ground have basically not changed, although it is very light, but if you look closely, you can still see some footprints in and out.

"Hey......" I narrowed my half-moon eyes, worthy of being a researcher and a member of the periphery, and I didn't even do the slightest thing to remove the traces. If Kudo Shinichi really wanted to find some FBI to protect himself, then the organization would have been discovered by them a long time ago. Sighing slightly, I followed Shiho towards Kudo's villa.

Squeak......

The door was about to be divided, and a thick smell of dust rushed towards me. Frowning slightly, I accompanied the expressionless Shiho to the inside.

The first thing that catches your eye when you enter the room is a huge bookshelf and an oversized desk. There are three rooms on the second floor, so I guess it's a bedroom.

"It looks like no one has been here for a long time. I wiped the dust off the bookshelf with my fingers and said helplessly.

"Well, judging by this, no one has been in for a month. Shiho was also a little dissatisfied with the smell of dust in the house.

"Let's go to the second floor. If Shinichi Kudo really gets smaller, maybe go to his room and find out something. "I built yì road. Shiho did not object, and walked up to Kudo's room on the second floor with me.

The setting of the room is very ordinary, no different from the average high school student, the only difference is that all corners of this room are covered with dust, and there are some traces of movement on the table and cabinet, presumably after Shiho and their inspection last month.

I stood by the door of my room and watched Shiho check the tables and cabinets one by one, but her cold expression never changed, as if nothing could catch her attention. Looking at her cold look, she can't really be angry, right? I just mentioned Tibelmode. I scratched my head a little embarrassed and walked over to her.

"How's it going, Shiho, did you find anything?"

"No, except for the three cabinets in the back that have not yet been checked, everything is exactly the same as when I came to search it last time. Zhi Bao straightened up, wiped the fragrant sweat on her forehead and frowned, and then she turned to look at me with dull eyes, and then said to me with a hint of displeasure. "Lust wolf, have you seen enough? If you've seen enough, come over and help find it. ”

"Uh, sorry, sorry. "I smiled.,Just now Zhibao's action of wiping sweat made me look a little distracted.,I didn't expect Zhibao to be very flavorful when he was serious at work.,A seemingly ordinary action added to Shiho turned out to be so charming.。

"So, pervert, did you find anything?" Shiho squinted at me. "If you dare to say that you haven't found out, I won't spare you!"

"Yes, Queen. I instantly turned into a beanie eye and replied seriously. I don't dare to mess with Shiho when I'm angry, it's even more terrible than doing an S-class mission. I walked over to a cabinet in my room and crouched down and whispered to Shiho. "Look, Queen, this is what I found. I gestured to the floor next to the cabinet.

Shiho looked at me and pointed to the floor a little stunned, if it was a cabinet, she could understand, after all, she hadn't checked the cabinet next to where I was standing now, but he didn't understand the floor. Seeing Shiho's puzzled look, I also smiled slightly and explained. "Shiho, look here, it's very light, but if you look closely, you'll find something different. ”

"Huh?" Shiho approached me and crouched down and looked at the floor, but she didn't notice anything but dust.

"Is there anything here?" Shiho looked at it for a long time and still didn't notice any difference.

"Uh...... Well, let me explain. I smiled wryly, and then pointed to the floor, "Although this place is full of dust like other places, if you look closely, you can see a lot of footprints, I believe this is a month ago when you came to investigate, but, although it is very subtle, if you look closely, you will see that there is a small footprint in this large footprint, obviously after you left someone passed here and left it again." ”

"Small footprints...... You mean...... "Shiho seems to understand what I mean."

"That's right, such a small footprint should have been left by a child, which means that it is very likely that as you said, Kudo Shinichi has really become smaller. And the secret is most likely hidden in the cabinet where this footprint is facing. I pointed to the cabinet next to me and said with a slight sternness.

Hearing my words, Shiho's pupils also shrank slightly, followed by a faint sneer. "Hehe, it looks like things are getting interesting. Immediately after, Shiho narrowed his half-moon eyes again, "Then why don't you just tell me that there may be a problem with this cabinet." ”

"Uh...... "I also became a beanie eye again. "Cause...... Because I don't know if you touched this cabinet when you checked it last time, if you directly sue sù that there is a problem with this cabinet. When you open it and find that there is no problem at all, then you can't spare me. I pleaded like a child.

"Hmph, I'll let you go this time. Shiho smiled lightly. Turn around and open the cabinet. I started to check it out.

"Huh...... Hehe...... Thank you, Queen, for not killing. The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, once Shiho's queenly temperament exuded, I really had no ability to resist at all.

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

Squeak......

A small voice reached my ears. It's small, but the voice makes me tremble slightly, someone has come in!

Quickly pulled up Shiho's body that was inspecting the cabinet, and before Shiho could speak, I directly covered her small mouth. And put a finger to her lips to signal her to be quiet. Shiho was also a little angry the moment she was pulled up by me, but after seeing my stern expression, she seemed to understand what I meant.

【Can you read lip language?】My lips squirmed slightly, and I said to Shiho in lip language. Shiho also nodded slightly when she saw my movements, and after receiving her affirmation, I lowered the hand that was covering Shiho.

[What's wrong?] Shiho asked me with his lips.

[Someone is coming, you hide in the cabinet first, don't make a noise if I don't come back] I gently pushed Zhibao and let her into the cabinet, and at the same time pulled out a handful of my own Magnum** from my arms and handed it to her. [You keep the gun for self-defense, my gun doesn't have a silencer, don't shoot unless you have to, I'll go out and see the situation. 】

【Be careful】Shiho nodded, took the gun and got into the cabinet.

Closing the cabinet door, I walked out of the room and closed the door. The whole action did not make a single sound.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I heard a very soft female voice in the hall on the first floor.

"Shinichi, is that you?"

There is only one person who calls Kudo Shinichi. I leaned against a pillar and poked my head out a little to look down the hall, and sure enough, a girl with a slender body, long flowing hair, and purple eyes full of worry appeared in front of me.

I smiled slightly, this is the first protagonist I have seen in the "Conan World". Of course, I'm talking about the protagonists who don't include Shiho and Akemi.

"Shinichi, are you back?" Xiaolan looked around, I have been doing killer tasks for ten years, which also made my night vision ability get an excellent exercise, although I am more than twenty meters away from Xiaolan, but I can clearly see her expression, at this moment, on her face, the expression of worry and expectation can be seen very clearly.

My eyes were fixed on Ran's face, and before I knew it, I found that it was hard to take my eyes off, what was wrong? Why did I feel this way when I saw Ran? This feeling was not the heartbeat I felt when I saw Shiho. It's another emotion that I can't tell. If I had to say it, it would feel more like a loved one I hadn't seen for a long time......

After losing my mind slightly, I looked at Xiaolan again, with the help of the faint light. I noticed a glimmer of sparkle on Ran's chest. What is that?

Xiaolan was still walking forward, and slowly, she came to a place where the moonlight shone into the room. Through that faint light, I saw Xiaolan's whole appearance. The fair face, delicate facial features, long dark brown hair vertical to the waist, and scattered slightly oblique bangs with a hint of fluffiness make this girl look delicate and moving. The lilac eyes exuded a warm scent from the inside out. The flannel suit of Didan High School sets off the girl's slender figure very well. And on the chest of the school uniform, an orchid brooch shines with a little star through the faint moonlight.

Orchid brooch? I don't remember that Xiao Lan was carrying something in the original painting? I was also slightly stunned when I saw that brooch......

Airplanes!!!

It was as if my brain had been struck by lightning, and fragments of memory slowly gathered together in my mind.

“…… A faint smell of lavender...... I prefer the scent of orchids. The smell of my brother...... It's so warm~"It's ...... This is my memory before I was six years old. A sharp pain made me slam against the wall, making a small muffled sound. But it was this faint voice that made Xiaolan, who was on the first floor, seem to hear the sounds of heaven, and quickly ran upstairs.

"Shinichi, are you back!" Xiaolan, who ran upstairs quickly, turned the stairs to look, but unfortunately, there was no half figure in the place where the sound just came out, only an unclosed window in the distance, and there was a crashing sound with the breeze.

"Huh. Sure enough, it was my delusion. Xiaolan lowered her head, and her purple pupils gradually dimmed. After a long time, with a sense of unwillingness and sadness, she shouted loudly at the window.

"Stupid Shinichi...... Where the hell are you...... Come back soon!!" With that heart-rending shout, a crystal teardrop spilled onto the dusty floor. "My brother is gone, you are also gone, leaving me alone, do you know how sad I am!!" After the words, Xiaolan did not stay here, but turned around and ran out, and the moment she turned around, a crystal teardrop fell from the eaves to the place where she was just standing. and the tears that Xiaolan had just fallen just now melted tightly together.

That's right, I stepped up to the eaves of the house before Xiaolan ran up, and the whole person hung on the roof. Looking at Xiaolan's sad appearance below, I can't tell the feeling in my heart. That feeling is distressing......

And Xiaolan's subsequent words made me feel like waking up from a dream, yes, Xiaolan said...... Brother......

When I heard those two words, my heart trembled violently, and with a severe headache, the lost memories came to me like a tidal wave. That once shattered memory finally came back to my mind completely.

"My brother always has a faint smell of lavender on his body. Although Xiaolan prefers the scent of orchids. But whenever I smell the smell of my brother's body. Xiaolan felt so warm~"
