Chapter 146: One More Man
Three days later.
While Bai Shu was watching TV on the sofa, the bedroom door quietly opened a crack.
A young figure that he hadn't seen for a few days poked his head out, looked left and right, and then went straight to the old white gan placed on the bookshelf.
Conan held the bottle and carefully poured out a full glass of wine.
He brought the cup to his lips and was about to start drinking, when he suddenly heard a creak from the sofa, and then a very strong presence shot over.
Conan's hand stiffened, and when he looked up, he saw that the person who was lying on the sofa just now sat up at some point, and at this moment the person was holding the back of the sofa, only showing a head, staring at him silently.
"It's you, I thought it was Uncle Maori." , Conan breathed a sigh of relief.
- At the Ikemura family, when he realized that Shiraki had long known that he was Kudo Shinichi, his first reaction was shock, and a hint of fear that arose from being out of control.
But after three days of sleep, wake up and lie in bed and think about it...... And I don't think it's any surprise.
It's time to reflect on your own carelessness:
Knowing that the other party is far more reliable than he appears, and having such frequent contact with himself, he would actually think that he doesn't know anything about the truth......
Conan slapped his forehead in annoyance.
However, think about the upside: since his identity has been known, then when he faces Bai Shu again, he can communicate as an adult on an equal footing.
Conan began to think about how to introduce himself formally and politely to Shiraki as Shinichi Kudo.
But before he could speak, the latter suddenly waved his hand towards the door:
"Xiaolan, you're back, Conan is stealing wine and drinking."
"......", hey!!
Xiaolan sighed, put down the bag of vegetables in her hand, and walked quickly.
She took the glass in Conan's hand, sniffed it closely, and frowned, "It's really wine...... Didn't I tell you that children can't drink! ”
Conan watched her pour out the wine from the cup, and watched her put the bottle high in the cupboard, and he couldn't tell the bitterness.
It seems that Xiaolan's house is indeed not a good place to "transform", and she was too anxious just now.
Even if he can turn back into Kudo Shinichi, Conan doesn't want Xiaolan to know about his black history of being pitted by the man in black, and he doesn't want Xiaolan to be sad about his past experience.
Of course, the more important reason is: considering that Xiaolan once helped herself take a bath, took herself to the hot springs, and when she went to travel, the room was not enough to squeeze a bed with him......
Conan has reason to suspect that he turned back into Kudo Shinichi in front of Xiaolan one second, and the next second he will be seriously injured by the oncoming love face-breaking leg.
…… Let's take it to the doctor's house and drink it, I'm fine, and so is she.
When Xiaolan was holding Conan and giving him the dangers of drinking as a science child, there was a knock at the door.
Bai Shu walked over and opened the door, revealing three small beans who couldn't reach the doorbell.
Ayumi smiled and waved at him, "Big brother, long time no see, Conan is okay!" ”
"Seems pretty good."
Bai Shu turned sideways to open the door, and the three children immediately rushed in and surrounded Conan, chattering loudly:
"Conan, we're coming to the library with you! You've had a cold for three days, and you must not have written about your reading experience. ”
…… Library? Shiraki looked at Ayumi, his gaze lingering for a moment on her intricate and delicate lace-up boots.
Seems to be working again.
He picked up the coat hanging by the door, left a low-key "I'll go out", and then went straight to the Rice Library.
The Rice Flower Library is a very imposing building, and when you enter the door, you can see that there are not many books on the first floor, and it is mainly used as a rest area, with good lighting and comfort.
Bai Shu stepped on the light brown floor, went upstairs to borrow a book casually, and when he took the elevator back to the first floor, he had an honest soul with a frightened face on his hands.
Then he sat in the rest area at the door with his new achievements, ordered a glass of juice, and drank it with or without a pair.
Ten minutes later, the four children entered the gate with a smile and a white tree, and watched them go to the children's library area upstairs.
After another ten minutes, several police cars squeaked and squeaked high-sound, and the Mudu Police Department walked into the hall with a serious look with a large number of policemen.
Bai Shu drank the remaining juice in a few sips, threw the paper cup into the trash can at the exit of the rest area, pinched his mobile phone and walked towards the Twilight Police Department, with a surprised face, "Police Department, I was just about to call you." ”
The Twilight Police Department was also quite surprised, and after seeing him, they subconsciously looked around.
There was also a Maori Kogoro who he certified as "murder wherever he went", and Twilight breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he got to the point, "Call me?" What's ......"
"Hello?" A voice suddenly interjected, interrupting their communication.
Following the prestige, a middle-aged man with a wide jaw and thick black eyebrows appeared in front of them.
The middle-aged man looked at the policemen in the hall suspiciously, then retracted his gaze and looked at the leader of the group, "I'm the curator here, Tsukawa, may I ask what happened?" ”
"Well, that's right, we want to know about your staff here, Mr. Kazuo Tamada." , the Twilight Police Department said as he showed his ID.
Tsugawa touched his chin, "Tamada? He's a nice employee, very hardworking and dedicated, but he hasn't come back to work since yesterday and hasn't taken any leave...... Did something happen to him? ”
"According to his wife, Mr. Tamada has not been home since the night before and has not been able to contact him."
The Twilight Police Department looked at Director Tsugawa and considered his words, "I heard that you stayed with him to work overtime the night before yesterday?" ”
Director Tsugawa nodded in shock, "Yes...... But I wasn't feeling well that day, so I went home first, and I don't know what happened after that. ”
"Hmm." The Twilight Police Department obviously didn't want to find the missing person by simply asking, "If it's convenient, can we conduct a search in the library?" ”
"Of course." , Tsugawa looked worried, "I'll ask the staff to cooperate with you...... I really hope Yutian didn't have an accident. ”
Twilight thanked him, then raised his hand to signal, and the officers immediately separated and entered the various floors to search.
After dealing with this, Twilight was about to turn around and ask Shiraki why he was calling the police if he was fine, but at this moment, another person appeared under his feet:
"Uncle Twilight, why are you searching the library? It's possible that the uncle was kidnapped on the way. ”
As soon as the Twilight Police Department lowered his head, a familiar child wearing black-rimmed glasses appeared in front of him.
"......", Twilight couldn't help but look around again, there was still no sign of Maori Kogoro around, only a few other familiar children rushed down the stairs and rushed towards her.
