Chapter Forty-Eight: Angels or Demons
Maori Kogoro knew in his heart that this child named Hitomi could never be his son. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Because of his own little pupil, he has drifted away with the waves of that night.
More than once he woke up in a nightmare and burst into tears.
He hated his incompetence at that time, and he was helpless when he watched his son fall off a cliff.
He was extremely sad and regretful, but he could only use alcohol to anesthetize himself.
He hoped that his son was okay, but he also knew that it was unrealistic; He wished he could forget everything about Hitomi, but he couldn't.
He began to rely on Xiaolan for his life, and he often saw Xiaolan crying secretly behind his back, he wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't speak. What made him even more remorseful was that he found out that he didn't even have the qualifications to miss his son.
Because all traces of Hitomi's existence in this world disappeared with that fire.
The name "Little Hitomi" seems to be sunk in the river of time, those wind-like pasts, those song-like years, are all floating away in the dark, leaving only the most untouchable softness in their hearts.
But Mori Kogoro wants to laugh now, and wants to laugh out loud. Just because fate seems to have played a joke on him.
Ten years ago, Hitomi left her; Ten years later, another teenager named Hitomi Kotomi appeared in front of him.
Everything seems to be a reincarnation, maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's fate...
"Maybe he's a gift from heaven..."
Mori Kogoro suddenly thought of the note left by Conan's mother, and he really laughed.
There is no obscenity, not profligacy, but a man, a father's most arrogant laughter, like an unruly song.
Reverberates around the room...
……
Xiaolan heard her father's laughter, and rarely felt embarrassed and blushed, because she heard the meaning of that smile.
Even she wants to laugh, but it's ugly, and tears come out of her eyes...
She finally held Maori Hitomi in her arms, as if she was hugging her brother tightly in some chaotic time and space.
"Thank you, even if you're not him..."
She said to herself silently in her heart, and then tears still flowed out.
With a smile that never stops at the corners of the mouth.
……
Hitomi Maori felt strange in his heart, he knew that there must be a story about the Maori family, maybe a very sad story, but he didn't reject this feeling.
Since the status quo can't be changed, then try to accept it, at least they are a kind and lovely group of people, and he is also a teenager who is always optimistic.
It seems to be in his nature that he can remain indifferent to everything. But he cherishes all those who are good to him, which is an unchangeable desire for family affection in his bones.
Because he has been lonely since he was born in this world, whether he loses his memory or not, he should be the loneliest person in the world.
He has been going all the way, even if there has been wind and rain and mud, but he has been with him all the way, as well as the Judy who always loves him, the Xiuyi who cares about him silently, and the little silly girl who has waited for ten years and poured all her emotions into herself.
And now, his relatives seem to have become more numerous, so much that it makes his world warmer, so much that it makes him cry at the moment.
"It's terrible, it looks like I'm getting more fragile as I'm getting smaller..."
"But... It feels pretty good..."
……
When the doctor came in, except for the bespectacled little ghost, who had a somewhat unhappy expression, the others had red eyes.
"I'm not saying to let the children pay more attention to rest, why are you still here?"
The doctor glanced at a few people, and then said to Maori Hitomi: "And you, why did you get a gunshot wound at a young age?" Did you join a gang at such a young age? ”
Hitomi wiped her eyes, glanced at the doctor, and snorted softly, ignoring him.
But the mustache glared at the doctor dissatisfied: "What do you mean by what I said, how can you talk to a child with such an attitude!?" ”
The doctor hesitated for a moment, feeling that this mustache was really turning his face faster than turning a book, and he didn't know this little ghost just now, but now he was clearly protecting the calf.
"Is it really the illegitimate son of Maori Kogoro?" He thought to himself, and he had already begun to think about selling the news to the newspaper tomorrow.
Seeing the doctor's eyes flickering, Xiaolan knew that this guy must have a ghost idea in his heart, so he gently rolled up his sleeves and smiled brightly: "We will report this child's injury to the Twilight Police Department of the search lesson immediately, but you must not have other ideas~"
The doctor looked at Mao Lilan with a strange expression, thinking to himself, are you threatening me? I'm afraid that Mr. Maori is still afraid of you, a little girl.
It's just that he just lowered his face, and before he could open his mouth to educate Xiaolan, he was hurriedly dragged by Conan, who was wiping sweat, and the little ghost with glasses pointed to the wall behind him, with a look of "I saved your life, please call me Lei Feng".
The doctor looked back, and then saw the devastated walls, and the obvious fist mark in the middle...
He quickly turned around and said with the warmest smile he had ever had in this profession: "Ah... Since Mr. Maori was there, the gunshot wound was certainly not a problem. Children, you have to rest well, you are the future flower of the motherland..."
As he spoke, he quickly closed the door, and jumped out of the smoke, and could vaguely hear the sound of people and things spilling on the ground outside the house.
……
"I think let's go back first, it will really affect Hitomi's rest here."
After half a ring, the mustache still spoke, but when the word "little pupil" was mentioned, the kind of intimacy that had not been seen for many years spontaneously appeared, which made him feel inexplicably comfortable.
Xiaolan glanced at Maori Hitomi, and said with some worry: "Otherwise, I will stay with this child, I really don't feel at ease when he is here alone..."
"No... I'll just stay here..."Conan said hurriedly, he didn't want Ran to stay here with this strange man for the night, and he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask.
"You?" Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro looked at Conan in some surprise, when did this little imp become so positive?
Conan nodded, with a lonely look: "I think Brother Xiaotong needs the company of his peers the most at this time, after all, he has encountered these sad things... And I've never met this cousin before, so I'll be with him! ”
As he spoke, he winked at Maori Hitomi.
The mustache pondered for a moment, and felt that this was fine, at least the two imps could talk together, so he smiled at Maori Hitomi: "Then that's it, if there is anything to ask Conan to call us at any time, we will be a family in the future~ I'll ask the doctor later to see if you can go through the discharge procedures as soon as possible, after all, it's best to rest at home." ”
Maori Hitomi nodded lightly, pretending to be very well-behaved and said, "Got it, thank you Uncle Maori." ”
"Haha, no thanks, no thanks." Xiaomu touched his head, showed a long-lost obscene smile, and then beckoned Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, let's go." ”
"Well..."Xiaolan glanced at Maori Hitomi, and finally followed her father's footsteps and left.
The door of the ward was gently closed, and the footsteps of the two people became farther and farther away, while Conan and Mori Hitomi looked at each other silently, and there was a lot of embarrassment flowing in the air.
"Ask me something, Conan?" Hitomi Maori looked at this imp with a high IQ, and his eyes looked very innocent.
It's just that Conan ignored him, he ran out of the door and took a look in the corridor to confirm that Xiaolan and the two had left, and then walked back to Maori Hitomi, with some sinister smiles: "It's not very like~"
Hitomi Maori was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
"Well... Or maybe I'll put it another way..."An inexplicable glint flashed in Conan's glasses: "Who the hell are you?" ”
"My name is Hitomi..."
"Ha~ It's really a familiar name, but I don't care if you're called Xiao Hitomi or not, I'm asking, who is your identity?"
Maori Hitomi has begun to wonder in her heart: What does this little ghost mean? Did he guess it? But there's no reason for that...
Seeing that he didn't answer, Conan was silent for a while, and then took off his glasses as if he had made a decision, revealing clear and wise eyes: "I think our glasses are the same... It's all a disguise. ”
Disguise... It's not quite like it...
Don't?!
Maori Hitomi instantly understood in his heart, but he said in disbelief: "You... You mean..."
"Hehe, let's get acquainted again..."Conan stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of shaking hands: "My name is not Conan, and I don't even have the surname Edogawa." ”
"My name is Shinichi Kudo, and I'm a detective..."
Conan's confident voice sounded in the room, but his left hand was quietly hidden behind his back, and the lid of the watch on his wrist was quietly opened.
"What about you? An angel who fell from heaven? ”
"Still..."
"A demon crawling from hell to earth?"
