Chapter 56: Doubt
Secret stronghold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing Akimi Miyano disguised as an ordinary-looking young woman, Shiki nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, the makeup technique is not bad, it looks like you've practiced it well."
Akemi Miyano didn't say anything about this, she did practice.
She even disguised herself and secretly inquired about her sister, but didn't get any news.
She was just a peripheral member of the Order, and after leaving the Order, these things were even more difficult to do.
She didn't speak, and Shiki didn't care, continuing on her topic.
"Then, from this day onwards, you will go to my house like this, and be a little maid, and it is not good to stay here all the time."
After all, this is the secret base of the four seasons, and it is not a problem to have a person operating here all the time.
If one day arouses the suspicion of others, this secret stronghold of the four seasons may be exposed.
And it seems to be more convenient and safer to take Akemi Miyano home.
"But you can't use your real name or your previous pseudonym, eh...... It's better to change it a little and declare it to be called Miyato Akino. ”
Well, that's just a little bit of a change.
However, Miyano Akemi has no opinion on this, anyway, she just declares that it is this name to the outside world, and it can't change the fact that she is Miyano Akemi.
"Pack up and come with me."
"I see."
Akemi Miyano nodded, and then began to clean up.
……
In the afternoon, after running around the house, Ayumi seemed to be satisfied.
I took a short break and ate the lunch that Yamada had made today, although this should be the time for afternoon tea.
After lunch, watching TV and playing games in the living room, the life of a child is such a joy.
Gray Yuan Wai didn't go back, and the opportunity to play with Ayumi before was also looking around the house.
But it seems, nothing special was found.
This also made her feel a little relieved, maybe she was really just worrying too much.
Think so.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a car moving outside.
Looking out the window, it turned out to be a Toyota driving in and into the garage.
It wasn't long before Shiki and a young woman approached the passage connected to the garage.
Ayumi and Yamada won't play games for the time being, and they both look at the four seasons.
They are also a little strange about the sudden addition of a woman.
Is it a girlfriend or something?
Thinking like this, Yamada subconsciously looked at his sister tomorrow.
It turned out that Yamada also seemed a little nervous and worried today.
Shiki walked over directly, sat on the sofa, picked up the cup that he didn't know who had drunk it, and drank all the tea in one go.
After a very comfortable "ha", he spoke.
"Well, then, this is the one who will be a maid with us in the future...... Miss Akino Miyato who works as a maid. ”
I introduced it like this, and then looked at Akemi Miyano.
It turns out that Akemi Miyano is staring at who is watching at this time.
Turning to the side along her line of sight, Shiki realized that it was Gray Plains Mourning.
Looks like something was discovered.
Think about it, too, as a great (sister) big (control) type of sister, it's impossible not to remember what her sister looked like when she was a child.
Maybe you can see it at first glance.
And Gray Plains Wai is also looking at Akemi Miyano.
Perhaps, I also sensed that familiar feeling.
And Akemi Miyano seems to be a little excited.
"Chi ......"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Shiki coughed several times with a dry face, interrupting Akemi Miyano's words.
And Akemi Miyano seemed to react, took a look at Shiki, and found that Shiki was also looking at her.
Suddenly, as if a basin of cold water had been splashed, he slowly calmed down.
And the four seasons showed a smile on his face.
"So, Miss Akino, let me introduce you, this is my sister Yamada today, Yamada tomorrow, this is Ayumi Yoshida, this is Ayumi Ashbara, Ayumi is a friend, and she was a neighbor before she moved over, and Ashbara is a neighbor now."
"Ah, hello."
Akemi Miyano hurriedly said hello.
In this regard, Yamada and others naturally responded one after another.
Even Gray Plains Mourning said hello solemnly.
But the sight never seems to have left Akemi Miyano, or Akeno Miyato.
Yes, from now on, there is only Akino Miyato here.
"Then, Sister Mingnai, your room is over there, let's go and put away the luggage first, and the maid outfit is also ready, so don't mind changing it!"
“……”
Miyato Akino was a little speechless about this, the maid pretended to be something......
But he didn't say anything, took his few luggage, and walked directly to the other side of the room.
Maybe she needs to be calm in the room.
Also, her sister has already grown up, how can she be a child here?
Well, because of the four seasons, she didn't know about Kudo Shinichi becoming Conan before she died, so naturally she wouldn't have thought that there were still people in the world who could become smaller.
Maybe even if there is such a speculation, I can't believe it.
And Gray Plains also has such and such doubts.
Because it felt so familiar, especially the way Akino Miyato looked at her, just like her sister.
But could that be her sister?
Gray Yuan Wai didn't dare to be sure, and she didn't dare to ask, she was a little scared.
If it's okay, if it's not, then she's exposed.
I don't know if Shiki is friend or foe, maybe this is the one Shiki deliberately made out to deceive her.
But now, it's really getting more and more difficult to understand the four seasons.
……
In the evening, because it was said to be a celebration, Kogoro Mori and others, Ayako Suzuki, Sonoko, and even Yumi Miyamoto came over.
The house became lively, with children playing, Mori Kogoro drinking, and Koranko and others chatting.
And Gray Yuan Ai, but he was sitting there, looking at "Miyato Akino" who was busy in the kitchen.
Conan was keenly aware of this and couldn't help but be a little curious.
"What's wrong? I've been looking at that Miss Akano, is there anything wrong? ”
"Nothing."
Gray Plains replied lightly, unwilling to talk to Conan about these things.
Anyway, maybe it's just an illusion, although her sister is just missing, according to Conan, not necessarily dead.
But is it possible that it was so coincidental that it appeared here?
And if Shiki is really a person related to the organization, if Akemi Miyano is really found by Shiki, according to the consistent style of doing things for those fighters in the organization, Akemi Miyano will only be killed as soon as possible.
On the contrary, if the four seasons have nothing to do with the organization, then even if you see Akemi Miyano, it is estimated that she will only be regarded as a passer-by, and she will not pay much attention to it at all.
Even if there is an intersection, he will not risk offending the organization and help Akemi Miyano, which is not beneficial to the four seasons.
So that Miyato Akino is not her sister Akemi Miyano.
That's what Gray Plains thought.
But deep down, I still can't help but hold on to a little bit of hope.
Isn't it because of the infinite possibilities of the future, and because there is still hope?
If there is no hope left, perhaps many people will choose to commit suicide and die.
But Conan didn't know what Gray Hara's thoughts were.
At this time, he was also a little suspicious, doubting the true identity of the four seasons.
Originally, it could be said that the suspicion had been dispelled, but this time, it was not possible not to doubt it.
I know from Maori Kogoro that Shiki's parents died when he was a child, and he was brought up by a master, and that master was a Taoist priest who lived in a monk's temple, and he was not a rich man, otherwise he would not have lived in a monk's temple.
Monks and Taoists, those are two different kinds of people.
But in any case, in general, you can't be considered rich.
So a fifteen-year-old boy in Four Seasons, even if he has some inheritance or something, does he really have so much money to buy two pieces of land to build such a large villa?
Three-storey villas, courtyards, swimming pools, basements, it costs a lot to make such a dwelling, and the materials used are very high-end.
According to Conan's approximate estimates, it is estimated that the cost of building such a house would be more than 100 million yen.
Where did a fifteen-year-old boy get 100 million yen? Even if there were, it wouldn't all be used to build houses.
Since he is willing to spend hundreds of millions of yen to build a house, and it seems that he is investing in some company or something, it means that Shiki has more money.
So the question comes back, where did the four seasons get so much money?
Although having money doesn't necessarily mean that there is something wrong with the four seasons, the four seasons guy always says Cider, Sherry, or something, and the two are related to each other, which makes Conan a little suspicious.
Not only Conan was suspicious, but even Yumi Miyamoto, who was invited over, was also a little skeptical.
Naturally, she will not be a person without vision, a house or something, you can see it at a glance.
When he saw Shiki coming down from upstairs, he immediately pulled him over to ask.
"I said, you kid, what the hell did you do before?"
"Before? Hello students! ”
Shiki replied.
Before he came to Japan, he was indeed still studying, and he was an ordinary junior high school student on the surface.
Of course, there is no need to say what you do in secret.
"Students? The student union has so much money to build such a house? ”
"The money left by my parents, the money I earned from doing odd jobs, I heard that I went abroad, some friends, elders, or something gave me pocket money, how is it?"
“……”
Anyway, it sounds like it's all normal.
But Yumi Miyamoto still wants to beat Shiji.
But in the end, he didn't say anything more, but changed the subject.
"Since you are so rich, why are your clothes and food so ordinary? It's too low-key, not at all like a rich man. ”
"I'm very low-key!"
Four seasons shrugged.
In fact, if it weren't for safety, he wouldn't have spent so much money on this villa.
Not to mention the hidden basement, even on the surface, there are a lot of security facilities, the monitoring system is the most basic, in fact, there are some other things, it was the Suzuki family's construction team that was completed, and Calvados was installed.
There is a signal shielding device, except for the mobile phone signal, all excess signals are shielded.
This is to prevent others from installing bugging devices and the like here.
The signal of the eavesdropper and the signal of the mobile phone are naturally different, although they can also be adjusted, but the type of signal of the shield can also be adjusted in the four seasons.
There are many others, so they don't need to be introduced one by one.
When you are alone here, safety is a top priority.
"Okay, let's stop talking, let's have a drink, Cider or Sherry? Actually, it's all pretty good......"
