Chapter 2 Sunshine Before the Storm

In the early morning, the sky was cloudless, and the sun shone on the streets, shining slightly on the ground that had rained last night.

On the wide road, Shinichi was leisurely walking towards the school, and couldn't help but laugh complacently after hearing the news that "high school detective Shinichi Kudo, known as Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, has once again succeeded in solving the case".

"Why are you smirking like a fool for no reason?" A slightly angry but still crisp and pleasant voice said.

Shinichi looked back, and a Taoist uniform was thrown directly on his head, causing him to ask helplessly: "Hey, Lan, what are you angry about?" ”

Standing behind her was a girl wearing the uniform of Didan High School, the girl had long hair and a shawl, her face was beautiful and lovely, and the hair on her forehead protruded, which not only did not look abrupt, but gave people a feeling of vitality. The sun shone on her face, like an angel descending on earth. Shinichi couldn't help but be amazed for a moment.

"Hey, what a daze!" Lan looked at him strangely.

"Ah, it's nothing, by the way, what were you angry about?" Shinichi came back to his senses and hurriedly changed the subject and asked.

"No, it's just thanks to you that my dad has been working a lot less recently, so I'm not angry!" As he spoke, Ran said with a playful expression to Shinichi.

"Hehe......" Shinichi looked at Lan, not without irony

said: "That uncle...... It's not my reason that I don't have a job, I'm afraid it's because he can't do it! ”

"Oh hehe...... Lan smiled after hearing this, and punched the telephone pole casually, directly shattering the telephone pole, "I said I wasn't angry, I really wasn't angry!" ”

Shinichi looked at the broken telephone pole in a cold sweat, "Okay...... It's so powerful, it's worthy of being the master of the karate club......"

"This is nothing, Charlotte is amazing, she can fight me with a tie empty-handed, let alone use kendo......" Lan said modestly.

“…… Hey, have you ever seen a stupid guy who would fight with a knife in karate? Xinyi's face was black, "Maybe someone will let you know." This kills the embryo. He thought to himself as he thought of Charlotte's ease of subduing the old man last night.

"That's right. Yes! Shinichi, you dare to scold me! Lan said thoughtfully, but the next moment he reacted, "Shinichi, you bastard!" ”

"Haha...... Just kidding, kidding! Shinichi said with a smile.

"By the way, Shinichi," Ran said with a sudden blush, "you won't forget your weekend date, will you?" ”

"Weekend ...... Appointment? What kind of date? Shinichi asked strangely.

"You promised me that if I won the karate championship, you would take me to a tropical paradise!" Lan saw that Shinichi showed signs of forgetting, and his fists suddenly clenched.

"I ...... Remembered! Xinyi saw Lan's clenched fists and hurriedly said loudly.

"Charlotte, is he going? Let's do it together! Lan said again.

"What are you looking for him? Just the two of us going together, he didn't go to be a light bulb......" Shinichi muttered.

"What does it matter! Because we're all friends who grew up together! Lan didn't listen to Xinyi's last sentence, "What did you say in your last sentence?" ”

"Ah, I mean, Charlotte doesn't like these things very much! After all, he's a ......."

"That's right!" Lan couldn't help but sigh when she thought of Charlotte's handsome face full of "Don't get close to the living". "He'll be able to joke with you...... Uh, Shinichi," Lan took out a newspaper as if he was juggling, pointed to the photo in the newspaper and said, "Speaking of Charlotte, he's your biggest problem right now!" ”

"Uh......" Shinichi looked at the figure in the newspaper, and cold sweat quietly hung on his forehead again......

……

"Shinichi Kudo."

Before Shinichi, who slipped in through the back door of the classroom a few minutes before the class bell rang, he heard a faint voice coming, and his scalp exploded.

Please, how did you find out I was in? I'm behind you, hey! You didn't look back...... Shinichi Kudo's heart was broken, "Ah...... Haha, morning, Charlotte. ”

Two meters in front of Shinichi, a boy turned his head and looked at Shinichi with a smile, holding a newspaper in his hand, it was Charlotte Miyamoto.

In the newspaper is a photo.

Under the clear night sky, a little starlight reflects a starlight on the ground that has just rained. A long figure was reflected in the moonlight, and it was a back. The breeze blew, his hair flew slightly, and he was dressed in black.

"The technique, the angles, the timing are perfect, and this camera reporter is very promising. However, I would like an explanation from you. Charlotte said joking in a serious tone, which sounded very funny, but Shinichi's cold sweat became more and more.

"Ah, this one...... I didn't say anything, ah, just, look...... No, there is no ......"

"Hey...... This Shinichi ......" Lan, who had already arrived in the classroom, couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to come over and say to Charlotte: "I'm sorry, Charlotte, I'm really embarrassed, Shinichi is really ......"

"I know, he really can't do things with his brain." Charlotte glanced at Kudo, "However, his flamboyant temperament will bring him great disaster sooner or later." However, Xiaolan, if you plead for him, let him go this time. Five lemon pies. The last sentence Charlotte stared at Kudo.

“……”

"......" Shinichi and Ran don't know what expression to use to face Charlotte.

"Blackmail me again!" On the way to the dessert shop, Shinichi looked indignantly at Charlotte and Lan behind him, "Lan! Why are you with you this time? ”

"Ah, didn't you see that someone rarely invited a guest, so I came along!" Lan said playfully

"Ah, Shinichi, this guy has a treat? I'm coming too! A girl with brown hair and a forehead showed off walked by.

"Garden!"

"No!"

Looking at Shinichi, who was messing around with the garden, Charlotte couldn't help but shake her head: "Idiot." The corners of his mouth involuntarily crossed an arc.

……

Night.

The Tokyo Trade Center is a 27-story tall building with a clear view of the area within a radius of several kilometers. However, at this moment when almost no one is walking outside, the rooftop of the building welcomes two guests.

A black figure stood quietly on the rooftop, but it was not the dress of an ordinary person. Dressed in a black tunic with gold stripes sewn around the edges, it looked very luxurious. Wearing a black top hat and a matching gold-veined mask on his face, he looks a bit like the Duke of the Night written by a novelist. However, the difference is that the Duke of Night gives people an eerie and terrifying feeling, while the figure gives people a feeling of only luxury and majesty.

A touch of white appeared in the sky, and a few flashes of it fell on the rooftop, as if white wings were flying in the sky, and then, like an angel, fell into the mortal world, but it was not dust.

"You're here."

"Hmm."

"When you come here, it means that you have decided for yourself, right?" The man in black asked lightly.

"Ah, that's right." The white figure stepped over the railing briskly and walked to the man in black, "In the near future, I won't be in Japan." ”

"You're going to Europe?"

"yes, there's something I'm going to make sure." The man in white replied, throwing something to the man in black, "Take it, wait for me to come back, use this to communicate." ”

The man in black looked at the thing in his hand, didn't say anything, and put it in his pocket. Then he spoke: "Is it still looking for that thing?" ”

"Yes. After all, there's a lot at stake. "The man in white walked to the rooftop and looked down on Tokyo." In addition, I learned a little bit about your father. ”

"What did you say?!" For the first time, the voice of the man in black lost its original calm.

The man in white turned his head, looked at the golden pupils flowing under the mask, and slowly spoke: "There is information that my uncle built a secret room in your old mansion before his death, or before he disappeared, maybe there will be any information in it." However, I recommend that you do it while keeping yourself safe. After all...... Your darkness is reassuring, while theirs is disgusting and dangerous. ”

The man in black was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "I know, thank you." I'll keep it in mind. ”

"Heh, what's polite with me." The man in white chuckled, "Okay, I'm leaving, let's talk about it next time." ”

"Be careful, don't let the European police arrest you and send you home."

"Anla, don't worry, others don't know my skills, don't you know, little ~ teacher ~ brother ~" After speaking, the man in white jumped up, jumped off the rooftop, and spread his white wings again, and soon, this white disappeared into the sky.

Looking at the calm night sky, the black figure silently looked at the east, gently took off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome face, and the two pupils were still flowing with golden light.

"Senior Brother......
