Chapter 34 Osaka (1)
"Nana, Xiaoye, do you have anything to do tomorrow?" Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, I had known Conan and them for almost a month, and on this day, while eating, Xiaolan suddenly asked me like this.
"Well, what's wrong?" I didn't wait to answer first, but put down the chopsticks in my hand and looked up.
"Well, tomorrow we're going to Osaka, and if you don't have anything to do tomorrow, we'd like to invite you to come with us. Xiaolan said and picked up another mouthful of food and prepared it for me.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaolan," I said, and then asked, "But what are you going to do in Osaka?"
"That's all because Brother Heiji is inviting us to go. Na, Sister Xiaolan, I'm going to eat that dish too. Conan explained, of course, the latter sentence was said to Xiaolan, in
It seems to me that I am very coquettish......
"Brother Heiji?" I wondered, who was that?
"Ah, by the way, you don't know about Pingji yet, Xiaoye. Look, Hattori Heiji!
But it's a detective called Kansai. Xiaolan took the newspaper that she didn't know where to find it, and said proudly.
"Cut, what a detective in Kansai, I see, it's just a milky little ghost. Mori Kogoro took a sip of wine and said with a sour taste.
"Ah, it's this big brother, I know him. "A detective in Kansai?" I shook my head, and I remembered some information about him. Hattori Heiji, I remember that his father seems to be called Hattori Heizou, well, yes, the head of the police headquarters of Osaka Prefecture, that's him.
Ah, by the way, speaking of which, if you think about it, the person I assassinated on the last mission I did in the organization seems to be one of Hattori's right-hand men. I glanced at the photos in the newspaper, and I saw this guy called Heiji there last time, so I didn't think it looked so familiar.
"Yes, it turns out that you know him, so it's great that Saya knows. So, are you going to come with us?"
"Well, this one, although I really don't have anything to do tomorrow, but I ......"
"Mochizuki-san, you can go, anyway, it's not interesting for you to be home alone, so you should accompany me. Seeing that I was hesitant, Conan immediately persuaded.
I looked at Conan hesitantly, but didn't speak. This guy's words are full of a kind of impatience, is there some conspiracy to want me to go so much?
"That's right, Xiaoye, you can go, or I'll be angry. Xiaolan also pretended to be unhappy, but there was a difference between calculation and exploration in Conan's eyes, Xiaolan's eyes were clean and bottom-out, and there was only pure concern.
"Well, that's ......" I was helpless, and lowered my head and thought about it carefully. Looking at Conan's reaction, there must be something waiting for me in Osaka, this should be a kind of temptation for him. Remembering the incident that happened at the video game company last time, I squinted, is this a kind of temptation for me?
Oh, what a coincidence, I want to know more about you, too. Although I've been doing research in secret for a while now, and I know more or less about Kudo Night Talk, Kudo Shinichi, Conan and many other people, but after all, I'm just a kid now, and there are a lot of inconveniences in my movements, and there are many things that I haven't asked clearly.
However, even so, I was not completely unaware of it. In the previous month, there were several more cases, and after my deliberate observation, I also knew exactly why the title "Sleeping Detective" appeared.
Also, after hacking into the police system once, I was surprised not to find any information about the character of Conan. Oh, that's interesting, and with the information I have about time, I have a bold guess in mind.
However, speculation is speculation after all, and I will not do anything until it is confirmed. Therefore, I think that if you want to understand a person, you can't just investigate, but only follow that person is the best way to observe a person. Therefore, this trip to Osaka seems to be inevitable.
"Well, really, I'm really embarrassed to always bother you like this. I made up my mind, and I didn't shirk it anymore, so I said yes.
"Yes, you agreed. It's great, I was wondering if I should stay with you if you don't go. When Xiaolan saw that I agreed, she immediately turned cloudy and sunny.
"Sorry, I'm worried about you. Hearing this, I paused for a second in the movement of my hand, and then thanked Xiaolan.
"Huh?" Xiaolan didn't expect me to apologize suddenly, she was stunned for a second, then reached out and touched my head, and smiled softly: "Don't say that, Xiaoye." Didn't I tell you? Here, you're at home, and you don't have to be so polite in everything. You can treat us all like your relatives. ”
“…… ,Well,I know,I'm really sorry.,I'll pay attention next time.,Sister Xiaolan.。 I was silent for a second, tilting my head to avoid Xiaolan's movements.
"Mo~ Look, you're really like that. Xiaolan saw me dodging, so she had to retract her hand helplessly, and blamed with a smile.
I pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, but didn't say anything.
Actually, perhaps, if it weren't for Xiaolan but anyone else, I wouldn't have behaved so unfamiliarly. Or, if Xiaolan didn't care about me so simply and seriously, but had other plans, I wouldn't have to treat her like this. It's a pity that there is no if, Xiaolan is Xiaolan, such a girl who always has a warm smile, I really don't know what attitude to choose to treat her.
It's been a month, but I've always been clear about who I am and what kind of situation I'm in. Nothing has happened yet, but I'm going to have to deal with the organization someday. Too many emotions can interfere with my heart, and once I have established a bond with someone, it will definitely become my Achilles' heel.
Besides, I don't want Xiaolan to experience anything bad because of me. An angel as white as paper like Xiaolan, as long as she has been living a happy and stable life, that kind of filthy world is not suitable for her.
Of course, in fact, the best way now should be for me to leave here immediately and stay away from Xiaolan, and only in this way is the best protection for Xiaolan.
However, just as plants are phototropic, people yearn for beautiful things. Admittedly, I do have a lot of selfish intentions. For someone like me who has lived in the organization for a long time, people like Xiaolan are very attractive to me. Xiaolan's care for me makes me unable to give up. After all, this suffocating warmth has always been something I've dreamed of for a long time but never received. For this warmth, I am reluctant to give up.
In addition, the question of Conan's identity is also a knot in my heart, so I can't leave it for the time being.
"Okay, then it's decided, Xiaoye, you go back and clean up, I'll pick you up at your house tomorrow morning." This time, we must have a good time in Osaka. Seeing that I didn't speak, Xiaolan knew that a personal habit couldn't be changed for a while, and she didn't care about the previous things anymore.
"Yes, I see. It's not too early, Sister Xiaolan, I'll go first. I looked at my watch, got up and picked up my bag.
"Okay, Xiaoye, be careful on the road, remember to wake up early tomorrow, I'll call you." Ran stood up and opened the door for me.
"Well, goodbye, Sister Xiaolan. Ignoring Conan, who didn't know what he was thinking, and Kogoro Mori, who was drunk again, I said goodbye to Ran.
