Seeing that she was a little shaken, Bai Lima struck while the iron was hot and continued to press, "When I came, I saw two children lying on the lawn outside the door, you didn't kill them, you just knocked them out, right?" ”

"I'm ......," the woman's mind was in turmoil.

"If you really want to keep it a secret, you should kill them, shouldn't you?"

“…… Shut up and say no more! Hearing the word "kill", the woman seemed to be greatly frightened, brandished the kitchen knife indiscriminately, stumbled back a step, and slammed the door.

The door creaked and slid open, and almost at the same time, without the door's obscuration, a siren sounded faintly from above.

The woman's color changed suddenly.

"I vaguely saw a figure in the house before, and I thought it was a thief, so I called the police." Bai Shu looked at her pale face and said slowly, "The police will come to search the neighborhood soon, although they may not be able to find this basement...... But if you want to turn yourself in, go and confess now. If they rub it any longer, they may be gone. ”

…… There seems to be a hidden meaning in these words.

The woman was stunned, and her expression gradually became excited, "You mean...... You're not going to denounce us? ”

"No, if they're leaving, I'll call them back, I just want to say that you don't have much time to wrestle with whether to turn yourself in or not."

"......", the woman's face turned hideous again.

She clenched the kitchen knife in her hand, gritting her teeth as if intending to make a last-ditch effort.

But just as she was about to rush over, a low roar suddenly came from the side, "Stop! ”

“…… Akio? The woman stopped abruptly and looked at her caged son in disbelief.

Although the mother and son can see each other every day, Akio hasn't said a word to her for a long time.

"Mom, stop it." , Akio's voice was hoarse and it was difficult to pronounce words, but he still insisted on finishing his words, "He's right, murderer...... It was indeed me. I shouldn't have done that just because my dad stabbed me. ”

"I've had enough of these days of daily nightmares, I want to atone for my sins and let me turn myself in!" After he said this, he covered his face and cried bitterly.

Although the deadline for the case is approaching, although I am still hesitant and struggling in my heart...... But now, because of the intrusion of the group of strangers in front of him, he had only one way to go.

With a thud, the woman's kitchen knife fell to the ground, and her son's words broke her last line of defense, and she threw herself down in front of the cage, hugging her son through the railing.

Previously, they could choose to hide, or turn themselves in.

But now, the only options left are to turn yourself in, or get caught.

…… Do you still need to choose this?

The mother and son quickly hugged each other bitterly and cried, I don't know if it was because of the hardships of the past five years, or for the pain of bereavement, or ...... It was angry with the white tree.

Not long after crying, they had to go out of the basement and surrender to the police under the ruthless clear indication of someone knocking on the dial.

Everyone returned to the ground, and Ayumi saw Mitsuhiko and Motota on the lawn from a distance, beckoned to them happily, and hurriedly ran over.

The unsolved case, which has been at an impasse, finally came to light five years later, and several bear children were also claimed by the parents who came in a hurry and were scolded bitterly.

Only Conan, in the presence of the "parents", escaped.

The rain had stopped, and the two of them walked home one after the other, stepping on the stagnant water.

Conan had short legs and fell behind, he stared at the back of Shiraki all the way, until he saw the sign of the Maori detective agency from a distance, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Naoki, how do you know that there is a problem with that bungalow?" You called the police before you went in. ”

"Well, it's very simple." , the white tree head did not return.

Conan immediately pricked up his ears nervously and ran two steps forward, wanting to hear his opinion.

"First of all, take a closer look at the shape of the house, the location, and so on......"

"Uh-huh."

"And then like this." Bai Shu stretched out a hand towards him, palm up, palm slightly bent, thumb to the middle finger.

“…… What is it? Measuring length? Conan subconsciously followed with the same gesture.

"No, it's a finger pinch."

"......", Conan silently put down his hand, and a tic-tac-toe popped out of the corner of his forehead.

Bai Shu also withdrew his hand and stroked his non-existent beard, "Young man, you still have a lot to learn." ”

The old god patted his sleeve and walked up the stairs of the detective office lightly, leaving only a detective who wanted to jump up and knock his skull.

……

A month later, on the deck of a cruise ship.

The white tree leaned on the railing like a salted fish, sucking juice while watching the sunset on the sea level, with mixed feelings.

Although I am very happy to be idle for a month, but having nothing to do means that there is no performance, and without performance, I can't enjoy the fun of saving money...... In this tangled mood, he finally ushered in another case that was about to happen.

- A few days ago, Mori Kogoro took them to travel to the island of Tsumoto, which was a very happy thing, but because the confused detective mistook the return time, several people missed the return boat and almost got stranded on the island.

Fortunately, there is a rather luxurious cruise ship that is willing to give them a ride.

It was this cruise ship that was chartered by the Zomoto family.

More than a dozen people scattered on such a large cruise ship inevitably seemed very empty.

Therefore, when Bai Shu, Xiaolan and Conan leaned against the railing to watch the sunset, next to them, a long-haired girl who appeared at some unknown time and was also leaning on the railing was particularly conspicuous.

Especially...... She looked at the sunset and suddenly burst into tears.

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, took the initiative to walk over, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

"No, it's fine." The girl wiped away her tears, looked at them, and smiled gently, "I just suddenly remembered my deceased parents, I really hope they see me wearing a wedding dress today." ”

"Huh?" , Xiaolan was stunned for a moment.

Conan was also stunned, staring at Xia Jiang for a long time, she was obviously wearing a dress, except that they were all women's clothes, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't match the wedding dress.

"It's a wedding in the morning, on the island of Zomoto." , The juice in the white tree cup was drunk, and he was a little idle, so he took the initiative to help explain.

…… How did he know again. Conan stared at the dead fish and raised his cheeks at the white tree.

After Bai Shu mentioned it, he also remembered the rather grand wedding in the morning, and muttered in his heart, this person obviously knew everything, and he was really pretending to be confused before.

Was it fun to watch him jump up and down and give Uncle Maori a hint?

Excessively!

At this time, a young man suddenly walked next to him, he looked at this handful of people suspiciously, and finally, waved his hand at the only one he recognized, "Xia Jiang, what's wrong?" ”

"Ah, Xiao Wu!" Xia Jiang turned his head and laughed subconsciously when he saw the person behind him, and the sadness just now was swept away.
