Chapter 36: A Suffocating Resemblance (I)
If it was an ordinary guest, Kurosawa Silver could naturally walk away.
But before anyone heard it, the impatient aura of danger came to his face, and Kurosawa knew that trouble was already blocking the doorway.
And it's not an ordinary trouble.
Kurosawa's eyes ignored Rorschach, who had entered the pet store behind, and focused his gaze on the girl in front of him, the blackness of his eyes gradually deepening.
He saw a girl about ten years old, Grace.
She wore a lilac top hat, her short brown hair was suppressed, her ice blue eyes were bright and moving, as if she could speak, her palm-sized cheeks, the corners of her mouth were gently soaked, and her snow-white skin glowed with a strange luster under the dark dress.
- As Vodka said, he has almost the same appearance as Gray Plains, and the temperament that resembles him.
It's really unpleasant......
Kurosawa's eyes darkened completely.
At this moment, Kurosawa Silver heard the exclamations of the members of the detective group in the pet shop.
"Graybara-san!" Mitsuhiko cried out in surprise.
"Damn! Conan's kid lied to us that you were sick and couldn't come out!" Motota was even more excited and ready to rush up to greet Grace, but his back collar was tugged on, and he looked up and saw Dr. Asa right behind him, and he was at a loss, "Doctor?"
Dr. Asasa's kind face was rarely solemn, and he didn't say a word, just shook his head at Motota.
Yuan Tai was even more inexplicable at this time: "What's the situation?"
"Motota......" Ayumi pulled Motota's sleeve and whispered, "She doesn't seem to be Ashbara-san...... She looked at least three years older than us......"
"Huh?"
"Yes, it feels very different...... Graybara-san's ...... doesn't put on a smiling face from time to time" Mitsuhiko stared at Grace's face, and couldn't help but start guessing, "Maybe it's Graybara-san......'s sister?"
As the Junior Detectives whispered, Grace's eyes began to converge as she looked around the pet store, and Twilight shifted her surprised gaze to Rorschach, who came in after Grace.
"Mr. Rorschach, why are you here?"
"Shopping with my friend's sister. "She likes one of the pet store's dogs and knows the manager well." ”
"This ......," Twilight's face looked a little embarrassed.
"Needless to say, I can see that there have been murders here, and I'm not blind, I heard someone talking about this place before I entered the door. ”
Then why are you coming in? What is that guy Chiba eating? Just letting you in? Twilight was full of depression, but when she opened her mouth to say something, she was directly blocked by Rorschach's next sentence: "It's Officer Twilight, it doesn't seem to be your jurisdiction, what are you doing here?"
"......" Twilight fell silent for a moment, and her eyes began to flicker.
Rorschach understands in seconds.
He casually changed the subject: "Grace and I will leave soon, you continue." ”
...... "Can you people use the murder scene as a public toilet and go in and out at will?" Although his expression became more and more depressed, due to Rorschach's special status and the embarrassing question he had asked not long ago, Twilight chose to remain silent, he turned around, waved to the other police officers, and spoke out.
Rorschach was still leaning against the doorframe, not at all different from when he first entered.
The only difference was that his eyes were moving, and his gaze was following Grace, all the time, even when he had spoken to Twilight.
Grace stares at Kurosawa Silver as he talks to Twilight, and to be precise, she notices the vodka he is carrying on his shoulder.
The two looked at each other.
"This big brother ......" Grace narrowed her eyes, "you knocked him out?"
“...... I'm sorry, little sister, he was trying to kill someone, so I had to be a little more violent to stop him - even if he was dealing with a scumbag I didn't like. Kurosawa Silver replied with a smile, and there was not a trace of inner gloom on his handsome face.
Kusunokizawa, who was about to be taken away by the police to make a record, turned his head and glared at Kurosawa Gin, but Kurosawa directly ignored him.
Grace frowned, glanced at Kusunokizawa, and then at Kurosawa Gin: "Then where are you going to take him?"
"Send him back to his house so he can get a good night's sleep, and then I'll go to the police station and help him take notes." If you want to find him something, put it on hold, I think he needs a good rest lately. ”
"You...... Is it a friend of the manager of Uozuka?"
"Naturally. Kurosawa Silver agreed, then glanced at the person on his shoulder, then looked at Grace, and smiled slightly, "Is it okay now?" Then I'll go, little sister, goodbye." ”
He walked past Grace to the door.
Rorschach by the door glanced at him, and his leg resting on the door didn't move: "Don't say anything?"
"You're very talented as a scout. "Kurosawa Silver and Rorschach pass by," this former star named Grace is beautiful. ”
"Huh. Rorschach let out an incomprehensible laugh and pulled his leg back.
Kurosawa Silver smoothly stepped out of the pet store, crossed the cordon, threw people, got into the car, closed the door, started the car and left, all in one go.
Seeing the car disappear, Rorschach shook his head involuntarily, and then tilted his head to Grace: "Look, I said that you should not come in, there is nothing good to come to this place, only the disgusting smell of blood, not when you look at pets, you will only make a fuss when you come in." ”
Grace puffed out her cheeks slightly, glared back at Rorschach, and Rorschach shut up.
"Why does this kind of happen in this pet store......" Grace muttered dissatisfied, but she didn't leave the store for the first time, but set her eyes on the young detective group who had been staring at her face, and her eyes lit up, but her face regained a faint smile.
She slowly removed the top hat from her head as she walked towards the Young Detectives.
Her ice-blue eyes were replaced by smiling squints, and her long, wavy hair fell like water down to her shoulders.
In front of the people who faced her, Grace regained her usual true face, which was a very different and gentle mental outlook from Gray Plains.
"Good afternoon, members of the Junior Detectives. Grace stood in front of them, her top hat in both hands and a smile on her chest, "Grace, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
The crisp sound like a silver bell made Mitsuhiko and Motota blush instantly, and quickly touched their foreheads and nodded desperately, Ayumi looked at Grace's similar appearance to Gray Plain, and gave birth to a kind of affinity, and she was also happy to respond.
"Miss Grace, are you a foreigner, do you have a sister studying at Didan Elementary School, I have a classmate who looks like you!" Ayumi eagerly asked her what she was trying to know.
"I'm an American citizen, I only have an older brother, but I don't have a sister, but ...... It's true that I will soon be transferring to Didan Primary School. Grace chuckled, "As for the child you said looked like me, is it Gray Plains? ”
"I heard you live at this Dr. Asasa's house, right?"
Grace looked up to meet Dr. Asasa's gaze and opened her eyes slightly, her ice-blue eyes shining.
Dr. Asasa's brow was already furrowed, and he honestly felt more dangerous and needed to stay away from the sudden appearance of the child, who looked like Ashbara, after all.
He smiled dryly and moved to the side without a trace, blocking the figure hidden behind him.
Behind him, Conan clutched his phone, the screen of which displayed the landline number of Dr. Asasa's house, with headphones in his ears, and in his heart, he was frantically shouting the name of Ashara.
Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! If you don't pick it up—
"I know a lot about her, and Edogawa told me that. ”
The brisk tone presents sensational facts.
Conan's body trembled violently, and he almost threw his phone out, Dr. Asasa's pupils dilated, and the three children of the detective group had different expressions, and all five of them cast surprised expressions on Grace's body.
Grace turned her face to Conan.
She noticed his presence and smiled at him.
"So, long time no see, little brother Edogawa, would you mind having tea with me again?
“......”
Conan clenched his phone, his arm drooping, and turned to Grace.
He smiled as well.
"Good. ”
