In silence......

After Shiliang revealed the identity of his eldest brother, Conan and Ji Haihong looked at Shiliang quietly until she was confused.

Ji Haihong whistled and appropriately expressed his feelings that he could not express in words.

Conan tried to suppress his shock, but no matter how he tried to hide it, anyone could tell that they knew the name Akai Shuichi.

"You know him?" Seliang asked expectantly.

If Serai's eldest brother is Shuichi Akai, then Mary must be Shuichi Akai's parent, and Sera is Shuichi Akai's younger sister. Why haven't you heard Shuichi Akai say it? Does Shuichi Akai know about Mary's current situation? Perhaps except for Sera, no other person concerned has noticed anything abnormal. After all, Mary came to Japan with Sera, and as long as Sera behaved normally, no one would suspect that something was wrong with Mary.

"Let me ask a question first," Ji Haihong changed the topic slightly, "Sister Shiliang, you revolved around Conan from the beginning, it is obvious that you suspected that there was some kind of connection between Conan and Kudo Shinichi for a long time, why?" ”

After listening to Ji Haihong's question, Shiliang finally felt that his IQ was on the line. She said a little proudly: "Actually, at first, we didn't know that Conan-kun and Kudo-kun had a relationship, I always thought that Kudo-kun was really investigating some case, but later, I thought that Kudo-kun disappeared for too long, which was unreasonable." ”

"What else?" Conan asked.

"In addition, it's the news I got from Lan, I can't see you a lot of the time, even if we meet once in a while, you'll disappear soon, I'm curious about this situation, so I started to investigate Kudo-kun, and found that when Kudo-kun disappeared, a child appeared next to Xiaolan.。

"And then?"

"Then I found out that this child is very similar to Kudo-kun when he was a child, but I don't dare to speculate, Xiaolan's attitude towards you is really the same as that towards her brother, not like pretending, and at the same time I found out that the name of 'Sleeping Kogoro' tested your reasoning ability at the scene of the crime, and the combination of clues in several aspects, coupled with the fact that Mary became younger, I have a lot of confidence to conclude that you are Kudo Shinichi!" Shiliang was a little complacent, but he didn't expect that his nonsense guess was really right.

No, no, it's not blindness, it's reasoning!

Ignoring the complacent Sera, Conan and Ji Haihong both understood one thing. If Sera can deduce Conan's identity from these clues, then others may be able to do the same.

It is very necessary to close this loophole.

Before closing the loophole, Conan and the others are faced with a choice - whether or not to tell them the truth. To this, Conan asked a question: "When we were children...... Where have you seen it? ”

Shiliang smiled and said, "Ah, it's so sad that Kudo-kun forgot me so quickly as soon as he had Xiaolan!" ”

"Don't be so unserious," Mary gave her a blank look, "Kudo...... Let's call you Conan, not only this kid, I've seen you before, remember, it's in Enoshima. ”

Enoshima? Conan carefully recalled, he seemed to have been there with his family and Xiaolan. At that time, it seemed that there was some kind of case...... Still can't remember!

Shiliang rummaged through the suitcase, she took out a photo album and flipped to one of the pages to show Conan: "This is a picture of me at that time, remember!" ”

In the photo, a little girl in a cute swimsuit happily shows her little tiger teeth, and behind her is a castle made of sand.

Seeing this castle, Conan suddenly realized, and all the memories gathered in his mind: "It turned out to be you!" ”

Unexpectedly, Ji Haihong actually slapped Conan on the head with hatred: "It turned out to be you?" What turned out to be you, a big living person stood in front of you and didn't recognize it, and when you saw her swimsuit photo, she immediately 'turned out to be you', I really didn't see it, you are a dead pervert! ”

"What!" Conan retorted anxiously, "I only remembered when I saw the castle behind her, I remember that this castle was built by me, Xiaolan and Shiliang together!" ”

It seems to make sense, Ji Haihong decided not to pursue it anymore, but Shiliang ...... I actually cried.

"So after a long time, you still didn't think of me directly, I'm not even as good as a pile of sand in your memory!" Seliang instantly despaired of the world.

Conan touched his head embarrassedly: "It's not like that, it's mainly because I encountered a case at the time, and I just listened to my father's reasoning, so I ......"

This sentence is slightly more informative, why did Conan already encounter the case at such a young age? No, I haven't heard anyone say that Conan often encountered cases when he was a child.

Could it be that it was Uncle Yusaku's case that happened to catch up with Conan?

Moham! This kind of case constitution was inherited from Uncle Kudo to Conan!

Ji Haihong, who knew the truth, was shocked, he never expected that all this was the choice of the Gate of the Destiny Stone!

"Sister Mary," Ji Haihong said, "Regarding the matter of Shuichi Akai, we can't answer it for the time being. ”

"Don't be in a hurry," Mary's voice was calming, "as I said before, you don't need to rush to answer me. ”

Mary was not in a hurry, but Seliang was. Mary didn't dare to ask, but the anxious gaze and clenched hands told the boys that she really wanted the answer.

Conan thought for a while and wanted to get up and say goodbye: "Sister Mary, Sister Shiliang, let's retire first, and tomorrow, I will give you the answer." ”

"Walk slowly." Mary asked Sera to see off the guests.

Walking out of the hotel, David went to pick up the car. When the luxurious coupe came to the front, Conan and Ji Haihong got into the car in turn. Opening the car window, Ji Haihong said something to Shiliang: "Sister Shiliang, although people often say, 'It's better to believe what you have than what you don't', but in this world, there will always be good things happening." ”

"Thank you." The conscience of the world has a bottom.

The coupe drove away from the hotel, and now they had to hurry to find Okiya. This incident is valuable news for Conan, but for Okiya, this news can no longer be called news, but a bomb.

A white sedan was parked unobtrusively in a row of vehicles on the side of the road. The people in the car used binoculars to observe the distant coupe and the return of Shira Masumi to the hotel, showing a strange smile.

Quickly came to the Kudo house, asked David to drive back to the villa directly, and Ji Haihong and Conan walked into the courtyard.

Okiya was pruning the flowers and trees in the courtyard, and when he saw the two of them hurrying to him, he invited them into the house.

As soon as Ji Haihong entered the door, he shouted: "Brother Cat! Your sister! ”

Okiya froze, confused.

Conan explained, "Mr. Pleiades, he's not talking about your sister, he's talking about your sister!" ”

Well, this explanation makes Okiya even more confused.

"Is your sister a pure world? Why didn't you tell us sooner! ”

At this moment, Okiya showed a surprised expression: "How do you know?" ”

"Not only do we know this, but we also know that Sister Sera is in Japan with your parents." Conan was a little depressed.

Seeing Conan's expression, Okiya had already seen through everything: "Did that kid know your identity?" ”

Listen, listen, "Zhenchun that kid", it's really kind.

Now Conan was really unhappy: "Mr. Pleiades, why don't you tell us about this, do you know what happened?" ”

Okiya nodded: "Of course I knew that Sera was back in Japan, and I knew who came with her, but I didn't expect that what happened to you also happened to her." ”

"Brother Mao must know more things than us," Ji Haihong stared at him, "Is there any detailed information?" ”

In the detective agency, Mori Kogoro reads the horse racing newspaper while drinking a small wine as always. Today's newspaper is very rich in content, and the environment for reading the newspaper is also very suitable.

Suddenly, the door of the office was pushed open, and Xiaolan walked into the room.

Kogoro was very strange: "Lan, why did you come back so early today?" ”

"Early, of course!" Xiaolan said angrily, "Is Conan-kun back?" ”

Xiaolan's angry appearance is very similar to that of Concubine Yingli, and Maori Kogoro covered his face with a newspaper: "No, it's not yet time for school to end." ”

"But I overheard someone say that Conan-kun took leave and went home!"

Putting away the newspaper in a chic manner, Uncle Maori's eyes rolled a few times: "Ah, you didn't ask his teacher for verification, don't be hearsay." ”

The phone on the table rang, and the uncle picked it up: "Hello, Maori Detective Agency, oh, yes, yes, yes, he's here, it's okay, don't worry." ”

"Whose phone number?" Xiaolan asked.

Uncle Maori said vaguely, "Friend, friend, don't worry about Conan, he might be busy at Dr. Asasa's house." ”

The "cake" that Toru Amuro sent before has been taken away by Ji Haihong. He didn't believe that Amuro would use backward methods such as stuffing small notes into cakes - at least a USB stick!

Giving the cake to Xiaobai as a dessert, putting on white gloves, David plugged the USB flash drive into the computer.

"What is this, program? I don't understand, why didn't Brother Cat come here yet, let him come over just now, I have to prepare first, David, do you know computer language? Ji Haihong frowned.

David shook his head.

Xiaobai was also shaking his head, with cream still hanging on his mouth.
