Chapter 9 Kaneda 123 and the Junior Detective Corps
Xiaolan walked to the door of room 102 rented by Zero and rang the doorbell.
Zero, who heard the doorbell ringing, opened the door, looked at Xiaolan and a group of little children, and said with a smile, "Welcome to my house." β
Conan noticed the small wooden sign of "Kanedaichi Detective Agency" next to the door and asked, "Sister Zero, do you usually take on detective work?" β
"Well, just make some extra money. I also have my own office webpage on the Internet to facilitate publicity. Zero said as he ushered the group into the house.
"Wow - it's a PS3!" Entering the living room, Motota spotted the PS3 console on the table at a glance.
It's June 2007, just over half a year before the PS3 goes on sale, and the price of the device is still high. Motota and the others didn't have a game console at home, but Dr. Asa prepared a game console for them because a few children often came to his house to play, but it was only a PS2. So as soon as they saw this PS3, their eyes immediately lit up like cats seeing rats.
"Sister Zero...... Hmm...... "As soon as Yuantai opened his mouth, he was immediately covered by Mitsuhiko.
Of course, Mitsuhiko knew that Genta wanted to play that PS3, but it was too rude to say that he wanted to play the master's game console as soon as he entered someone else's house.
Zero is very understanding: "If you want to play a game, go play." β
When Genta heard this, he immediately broke free of Mitsuhiko and ran to the PS3, saying as he ran, "Thank you, Sister Zero!" β
Mitsuhiko covered Yuantai's mouth before, that is, to express politeness, in fact, his desire to play games was not lower than that of Yuantai, and he immediately followed the past.
Ayumi doesn't like to play games like Motota and Mitsuhiko, but it's PS3 after all, and this brand new console that has never been played before is still quite attractive to her, so she also followed Motota and Mitsuhiko over.
Although Zero bought the PS3 early, he didn't buy many games, a total of four game discs. Although Zero also likes to play video games, it can be said that the game time is quite small, usually she has to spend at least an hour and a half on exercise in addition to doing homework when she comes home from school, and sometimes she may perform some detective commissions, so naturally she has little time to play games. In addition, the PS3 has only been on sale for half a year, and there are not many games produced, so Zero bought a total of four games.
Yuan Tai and the other three picked a fighting game and played it, and whoever lost was replaced, and they had a lot of fun. Conan is usually a little interested in games, but he doesn't want to grab game time with the little kids now, and observe the layout in the living room by himself.
In fact, the furnishings in the living room are very simple. In front of the left side of the living room is a TV cabinet, on which there is a 42-inch color TV, and on the left side of the color TV is a PS3 game console, two controllers and four game boxes. One and a half meters in front of the TV cabinet is a sofa that can accommodate four adults, and now the three children sitting on the sofa together are not crowded at all, but still a little spacious. In front of the sofa is a coffee table with a TV remote control and a fruit bowl, but instead of fruit, there are bags of snacks.
On the right side of the living room is a rectangular dining table with four chairs on either side of the dining table, and next to the dining table is a decorative cabinet with some decorations that seem to be cheap.
In short, this looks like a very ordinary living room, no different from the living room of most families, and there is not much to see. Zero asked Mrs. Genta and the others to play games, and she took Xiaolan to visit the other two rooms. Conan and Xiao Ai were left and right, and followed behind them.
Zero first took them to visit the fitness room, and when they saw the fitness equipment displayed in the room, even Conan and Xiao Ai couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
As for Xiaolan, she directly looked straight at her eyes, as the champion of the karate high school girl group, she naturally never slackened off in her own training. But the problem is that the usual training of the karate club, in addition to the practice of moves and training with each other, is nothing more than running circles around the playground, and there are not many other training methods, and the cost of going to the gym is too great. And Zero can place so much fitness equipment at home, Xiaolan is envious.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiaolan embarrassedly leaned over and asked Zero, "Zero, can I come to you to exercise in the future?" I can now feel that my strength has reached a bottleneck, and the training method of the school's karate club is a bit backward to be honest, and I want to break through the bottleneck, so I ......"
"No problem." Before Xiaolan finished speaking, Zero agreed, "As long as I'm at home, Xiaolan can come whenever you want, even if I come at midnight, I will definitely open the door to welcome me." β
Conan complained in his heart at this time. Xiaolan, you can make a hole in the wall with your bare hands, is this still called being in the bottleneck of strength? If this breaks through the bottleneck, do you want to demolish the building with your bare hands or do you want to demolish the Gundam with your bare hands?
Xiaolan was very moved when she heard Zero's words, and hugged Zero: "Thank you so much, Zero." β
Zero felt the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, and his heart couldn't help but flutter, trying to control himself from showing an idiot-like expression.
When Conan saw this scene, he felt anxious for no reason, obviously it was two girls hugging, which was nothing in theory, but why did he always have a vague feeling of being NTR?
After letting go of Zero, Xiaolan said again: "By the way, Zero, can you practice with me in the future?" I'm sorry for the other karate club members, but their strength is really weak, and it doesn't really work for me to practice with them. β
"No problem." Naturally, Zero will not object to this request, not to mention that she herself needs to continue to become stronger, and practicing with Xiaolan is also beneficial to herself.
Conan heard a hint from these words and asked, "Sister Zero has also practiced martial arts?" Isn't it amazing? β
"Well, Zero is practicing boxing and bajiquan, and his strength is even higher than mine." Xiaolan said to Conan.
Is Zero's strength still above Xiaolan? When Conan heard this, his first feeling was disbelief. What kind of person is Xiaolan, it can be called a humanoid tyrannosaurus-like existence, if there is any male martial artist who can beat Xiaolan, Conan thinks it is still possible, as for saying that Zero, who is also a female high school student with Xiaolan, is more powerful than Xiaolan, Conan only thinks this is nonsense.
Well, that's right, this must be Sister Xiaolan's self-effacing words, Conan thought.
After visiting the fitness room, only Zero's bedroom was left unvisited. Zero and the others walked out of the gym and walked around the living room to the bedroom. Zero opened the door and let Xiaolan and Xiao Ai walk in, Conan was about to step in, but was stopped by Zero: "This is the private territory of girls, boys are exempt, Conan, you better find Yuan Tai and them to play together." β
Anyway, if you want to be a first-grade child, forget it, but it's actually a high school student, and I still want girls to run in the boudoir, don't you know if you're ashamed.
Although his room is not as private as other girls' boudoirs, and even the inside is completely a male-style room, so it doesn't matter if Conan goes in to take a look, Zero is just a high school student who can't get used to the appearance of a primary school student swaggering and wants to walk into a girl's room.
In fact, Conan didn't intentionally want to spy on Zero's room, but just subconsciously followed Zero. At this time, I was a little embarrassed to be reminded by Zero, so I snorted and went to find Yuantai and them.
There's really nothing to see in Zero's room, but Xiaolan won't care about that, after all, as a fighting girl, her room is also very ordinary. After the two girls pulled two chairs and sat down, they chatted about the day, mainly Xiaolan said some karate topics to Zero, such as a very powerful newcomer in so-and-so high school this year, and the ace of so-and-so high school regretted being seriously injured and so on. Zero also replied with two or three sentences from time to time, in short, the atmosphere was very cheerful.
Xiao Ai on the side was not interested in participating in the conversation of the other two, and it would be too strange for an elementary school student to have a lively conversation with two high school students. So she picked a random book on the shelf and read it to pass the time.

At about ten o'clock, the doorbell suddenly rang again.
"Are there any more guests?" Xiaolan asked.
"I don't know, maybe it's a sales pitch." Zero replied casually, then walked out of the bedroom to open the door.
When I opened the door, standing outside the door was a little girl who was more than one meter tall, wearing a blue casual shirt and pants, and holding a suitcase in her right hand. The girl has two braids on both sides of her head, big eyes fluttering, and her appearance is very sweet and cute.
Seeing the girl, Zero was very surprised and blurted out: "Two or three!?" β
"Sister, I'm coming to see you!" The girl said as she grabbed Zero.
The little girl outside the door is the sister of Kaneda Ichiko, Kaneda Ichi, Two, Three.
Kaneda 123 - Force: D-, Intelligence: D+, Intimacy: A+
Ersan is nine years old this year, and although he is only in the third grade of primary school, he has already shown that he is far more intelligent than his peers. Although its D+ intelligence value doesn't seem very good, it's already quite outstanding for a third-grade girl, and you must know that Yuanzi, who is a high school student, and Eisuke and others also have a D+. Ersan's academic performance is very good, even if he skips two levels, it is not a problem, but his father, Kaneda Yibingsuke, feels that skipping a grade may not be conducive to the child's development, so he lets Ersan study step by step. In addition to his academic performance, Ersan also knows a lot of miscellaneous knowledge, and his brain turns quickly, in the original work of "Jintian One Juvenile Incident Book", Ersan has the experience of reasoning alone to find out the culprit and solve the case.
The most important point is that Ersan is a super sister control. When they used to live together, they had to stick to themselves all the time, go shopping together, play cards together, play video games together, and basically crawl into their beds at night to sleep with themselves every three or four days. When she goes out to practice martial arts, she will also exercise with her, although she has not practiced anything famous, but at least her physical fitness has improved. Generally speaking, the force value of the third grade elementary school student is E, and the force value of the second and third grades has reached D-.
When Zero decided to move alone, what she was most worried about was Ersan's reaction, and she was afraid that Ersan would be reluctant to let herself go, and she would cry, make trouble, and hang herself. As a result, to his surprise, after learning that he was going to move, although his eyes were red, Ersan accepted the news calmly.
Now seeing Er San appear in front of him, especially with a suitcase in his hand, Ling Zi immediately understood: "You transferred to Didan Primary School, and then you have to move to me?" β
"It's worthy of being a sister, I can see through it at a glance, I'm going to study at Didan Primary School from tomorrow." Ersan smiled and said, "And I will live with my sister and you in the future."
Zero couldn't help laughing, it seems that the little girl Ersan was already ready to transfer to live with her after she first learned the news that she was going to move. It is estimated that she has been begging her parents for a long time, and the two of them were impatient, and finally agreed to her request.
Zero asked again, "You came alone?" What about Mom and Dad? β
Although it is only a tram from the parents' house to here, the parents are too big to let such a little girl go on the road alone.
"I'm here alone, don't worry, sister, I have anti-wolf spray and electronic alarms with me."
Zero wanted to say something, but Ersan smiled brightly and said first: "I've been standing at the door for so long, sister, let me in." The thought of being able to live a two-person world with my sister from now on makes me look forward to it! β
It's also a two-person world, this little girl is really a big ghost, Zero smiled bitterly and took the suitcase from Ersan and put Ersan inside.
It wasn't until Two-Three-One jumped into the door that Zero remembered that there were still guests at home.
And after Ersan walked into the living room, he saw Conan and others playing games, and the whole person was stupid.
How can there be so many children in my sister's family, and what is said to be a good two-person world?
"Sister...... "Two-three looked at the next person who entered the house, and said with teary eyes, "Sister, have you changed your career to be a human trafficker now?" β
Zero also knows that the second and third are pretending to be a gesture, this little girl's acting skills are leveraged, tears say that you can soar, if you become an actor in the future, the achievement will never be under Kudo Yukiko.
So Zero smiled and flicked Ersan's forehead: "Don't be poor." β
Conan and the others also noticed Two-Three, and Xiaolan and Xiaoai also walked out of Zero's room. Xiaolan asked Lingzi, "Who is this little girl?" β
Mitsuhiko also asked at the same time, "Sister Zero, who is this young lady?" β
When Tsuzo heard Ayumi's words, he felt unhappy for a while. Zero is my sister, don't be so intimate with your little boy.
Zero introduced to everyone: "This is my own sister, Kaneda Ichi, Two, Three. Starting tomorrow, she will be transferred to Didan Primary School, so she moved here to live with me. β
"Is it called two or three? What a lovely little girl. Xiaolan walked up to Ersan, "My name is Mao Lilan, and I'm your sister's friend." β
After introducing herself, Xiaolan pointed to a few children one by one: "They are Ai Gray Yuan, Conan Edogawa, Ayumi Yoshida, Motota Kojima and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, they are all first-grade students at Teidan Elementary School." β
Several children in the Junior Detective Group are self-acquainted, and Yuan Tai said directly to Ersan: "Ersan, will you transfer to Didan Primary School tomorrow?" I don't know if I'll be placed in our class. By the way, you should also join our team of young detectives. β
"Yuantai, you are stupid......" As soon as Yuantai's voice fell, Mitsuhiko shook his head helplessly, "Ersan looks older than us, so he should be in the upper grades." β
Ersan ignored them, but Zero said, "Two-Three is nine years old this year and is a third-grade student. β
"It turned out to be a third grade, but it doesn't matter, anyway, you join the junior detective team." Yuan Tai continued to say to Two-Three.
"Is it okay to invite her? She's two grades above us. Mitsuhiko said.
Before Yuanta could reply, Ayumi had already preemptively said: "It's okay, it's all from the same school anyway, and she's the sister of Sister Zero, so she must be able to join us." β
However, for Yuantai and Ayumi's invitation, Ersan unceremoniously refused: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in children's detective games." β
Ersan has more knowledge and ability than her peers, and her own personality is also a little arrogant, but she can usually hide this arrogance and pretend to be a good girl. It's just that these children shouted at their sisters one by one, which made the second and third have a trace of jealousy, so they didn't bother to put on a good face to these children. And what kind of juvenile detective group formed by a group of first-grade children, it looks very unreliable at first glance, so don't join it in the second or third.
"It's not a detective game." Ayumi felt a little aggrieved, "We are very powerful, and we have helped the police solve several cases." β
Ayumi is not wrong in saying this, although it is basically the credit of Conan alone.
But two or three obviously won't believe it, you guys have helped the police solve the case several times? Bragging trouble is also a little bit decent. Originally, the Japanese police relied on high school students to solve the case, and if they relied on elementary school students to solve the case, they would simply be disbanded.
Ersan originally didn't want to deal with Ayumi, but he didn't want to be pestered by a few children, so he said: "Since you say that you are very powerful, then let's do it, I have a code here, if you can crack this code, I will join your young detective group." β
After the second and third finished speaking, he asked Lingzi for a pen and paper, and wrote a code on the paper.
Zero glanced at it, and suddenly thought of the origin of the code.
His grandfather, Kazukosuke Kaneda, once left a diary, on which he left some records of his previous detectives, and this code was the one he encountered in a certain case before. According to my grandfather's diary, it took him about 20 minutes of meditation to decipher the code.
Two-third had obviously seen this code, and although she was young, she had a good memory and could write down the code accurately and silently.
It was too bullying to use this code that made my grandfather think about it for a while to embarrass elementary school students. But my stupid sister, the other party has a big hanger mixed in.
Conan originally disdained the code given by a third-grade elementary school student, thinking that he could break it in minutes, but he didn't expect that after a few minutes of reading, a large number of brain cells died, and he fell into deep contemplation.
Xiao Ai glanced at it, and then ignored it. This code doesn't seem to be able to be solved by itself. That being the case, she wouldn't waste her energy on such unhelpful things.
Yuan Tai and the others scratched their ears and cheeks one by one, and then gave some ridiculously wrong answers one after another, which incidentally affected Conan's train of thought.
After more than half an hour, Conan finally had a flash of inspiration and cracked the code. So he said "like this" to the second and third, and told her the idea of cracking and the final answer.
Two and three covered their mouths and looked at Conan incredulously: "How is it possible!" This is the code recorded in my grandfather's diary, how could it be broken by a first-grade elementary school student!? β
And Zero smiled and touched Conan's head: "Conan is really powerful, although I thought you were extraordinary when I was on the court yesterday, but I didn't expect you to be able to crack this code that made my grandfather feel a little difficult." β
Conan immediately knew that he was pretending to be big again, so he quickly pretended to be stupid and said, "No, I just saw a similar code from Brother Shinichi." β
Anyway, two or three still talk the talk, and since Conan has solved the code, then she joins the Junior Detective Corps: "Okay, I will join the Junior Detective Corps according to the agreement." Then from now on, I will be the head of the regiment. β
"No, I'm the head of the regiment!" Yuan Tai immediately protested.
Mitsuhiko also got involved: "The head of the regiment is obviously me." β
"Huh? Isn't the head of the regiment Ayumi me? β
Ersan coughed lightly and said, "I'm older than you, so the position of the head of this regiment is naturally mine!" β
In the end, after some verbal arguments, Er San finally succeeded in usurping the throne and seized the position of the head of the Junior Detective Corps, which is really gratifying.
