After Sera and Kaito and the others left, Zero went to a nearby pet store to buy cat food, cat litter boxes and other things.

When he got home, he found the orange cat Orange cowering in the corner with his head covered. After asking two or three questions, it turned out that it had launched an attack on Xiaobai again just now, and then it was instantly KO.

"What a guy who doesn't learn well." While spitting out the trough, Zero handed the cat food to Two-Three and asked her to feed the cat.

Two or three jumped to feed the cat, and after feeding, the cat was a good meal, which was very pleasant.

At midnight, Orange hadn't even fallen asleep, but his glowing pupils looked at Xiaobai in the bamboo basket. Orange is a thief to Xiaobai, in its opinion, he is a dignified cat, how can he be defeated by a mere pigeon three times and twice, this is too embarrassing for the cat's face!

Orange still has a little bit of intelligence, and if he can't attack it openly, he will attack it secretly. It was late at night, and Orange thought that Xiaobai should have fallen asleep, so he quietly jumped onto the table, and then opened his mouth and bit Xiaobai in the bamboo basket. Although it was dark in the house, the cat, which had excellent night vision, could easily see Xiaobai's location.

Orange was determined to win this time, believing that this abominable pigeon would die under his mouth.

However, Xiaobai seemed to be domineering, and flew up before Orange was about to bite him, and his wings slammed into Orange's head.

Orange's nighttime sneak attack was like Ace's sneak attack on Whitebeard, which was doomed to be futile.

However, unlike Whitebeard's indulgence of Ace, Xiaobai is really angry this time, why are you so endless, even when I sleep, you have to bother me!?

I saw Xiaobai's wings hit Orange one after another, knocking Orange to the ground and shivering.

If it weren't for Xiaobai's scruples, for fear that beating Orange to death might make Zero unhappy, then Orange might be a dead cat by now.

When Zero and the others got up the next day, they were surprised to find that Orange was bruised and purple. What's the matter, it's only been one night and I've been injured so much, if outsiders see it, they still think that our family abuses cats.

Zero quickly reacted that the orange cat had been taught a lesson by Xiaobai again, and although Ersan and Maya were a few beats slower, they also figured out the reason one after another - Xiaobai beat Orange Fat.

I saw Ersan walk up to Xiaobai and said to him: "Xiaobai, how can you bully Orange casually, that's not right." ”

Xiaobai is very unhappy, what do you mean by me bullying Orange casually? When was it not when I was forced to fight back?

However, Xiaobai couldn't communicate with Ersan, so he couldn't explain to her, so he simply ignored Ersan and made a cold look.

Orange meowed in front of Xiaobai, seemingly respectful. Obviously, this time it was completely convinced. If you don't accept it, you can't help it, if there is a next time, maybe you will really lose your life.

———————— plot dividing line————————

In the morning, Zero went grocery shopping every day, and when he came back, he glanced at the mailbox and found a letter inside, so he took the letter out.

When I got home, I opened the letter, only to see that it read:

"I have heard that Miss Kaneda is known for her wisdom, and I hope that I will have the privilege of sharing dinner with you. If you'd like to take the time, please come to the Twilight Pavilion on August 10 at 5pm. ”

At the end of the letter, the address and driving directions of the Dusk House were appended, and the signature was "Forsaken by God, Phantom Boy".

Along with the letter, there was a check for two million yen.

Zero closed the letter and thought silently. According to his memory, this letter should be related to the incident in which a group of detectives in the original work were summoned to the Twilight Pavilion for a treasure hunt.

And that Twilight Mansion is the mansion where Karasuma Renya, the leader of the Black-Cloaked Organization, used to live when he was a Monopoly.

I didn't expect to be invited, but this is normal, after all, I am already quite famous now.

August 10th, that is, tomorrow, time is still very tight. Zero felt that it was okay for him to go, after all, the other party even had a check ready, and he was a little embarrassed to take the money for nothing.

Zero, Ersan and Maya said that they would go out tomorrow afternoon, and they might not come back until a day or two, hoping to let the two of them take care of the house. I didn't plan to take them with me this time, if I remember correctly, this trip is still a bit dangerous, I have martial arts and skills and I have nothing to worry about, but if I bring two or three and Maya, I will have to be distracted to take care of them.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of August 10th, Zero was ready to go. However, before she stepped out of the door, Xiaobai flew out after her and stopped on Zero's shoulder.

"Xiaobai, be good, go home." Zero said to Xiaobai through spiritual communication.

"No, I don't want to see that stinky cat just yet...... That stinky cat doesn't come to attack me now, but it meows at me all day long, and it annoys me to death. ”

It seems that Xiaobai really doesn't like Orange very much, but he has to stay under the same roof with it. And now that it's out on its own, it wants to follow it, so that it can take the opportunity to stay away from Orange for a while.

Zero persuaded a few more words, but Xiaobai leaned on his shoulder and didn't leave. No problem, just take it with you. Anyway, Xiaobai is also a very strong pigeon, and Zero estimates that even ordinary adults will only be beaten in front of Xiaobai.

Zero called a taxi, and the driver initially refused to let the pigeon into the car, but Zero just smiled at the driver, and the driver changed his mind on the spot.

The Dusk Pavilion is not located within Tokyo, and the location is difficult to find, so it took the driver a long time to get around the mountains just to determine the direction. Finally, I finally arrived at the Dusk Museum, and the taxi fare was more than 15,700 yen...... In the end, the driver removed the change and charged 15,000 yen.

It was raining when I got out of the car, but Zero had checked the weather forecast beforehand, so he brought a folding umbrella with him.

The taxi drove away, and Zero held an umbrella and looked up at the twilight pavilion in front of him. The Twilight House is worthy of the mansion where the former top rich man Karasuma Renya lived, and the whole building is extraordinarily magnificent, but due to the relationship that has not been taken care of for a long time, it looks quite dilapidated, and now it is raining, which adds a bit of a sense of gloom.

On the square in front of the main hall, there were several cars parked, and it was obvious that many detectives had arrived.

There was a man standing in the doorway, who was also supposed to be a detective who had been summoned, and who seemed to have just arrived.

It was a man who looked to be in his thirties and forties, about one meter seven or eight tall, and his appearance was quite handsome.

The man also saw Zero, but he did not show his face as surprised by Zero's beauty as the other men, but just stood there quietly and did not say a word.

Yes, I didn't even bow down to my beauty, whether I was determined or simply didn't like women.

"Hello, I'm Kaneda Ichilingzi." Zero politely introduced himself first.

However, there was no response.

Hey, you're so squeaky, it's too rude to ignore me like this, and it hurts my beauty's self-esteem.

After more than ten seconds, the man, who had never responded, suddenly stiffened, and then began to gasp for breath.

"That...... Are you okay? Zero asked as he wondered, could this guy be sick, but he didn't remember who was sick in this incident.

"I'm sorry, Miss Kanedaichi, but you're so beautiful that I forgot to breathe the first time I saw you."

…… When Zero heard this, he was speechless on the spot.

Hey, don't you want to be so routine! So you've been holding your breath just now? But holding your breath for less than 20 seconds, isn't it too weak?

I saw the man continue: "My name is Haruki Motegi, and I am also a well-known detective, Miss Kanedaichi, I fell in love with you at first sight, I wonder if you would like to be my life partner?" ”

I went, and I proposed directly as soon as we met, and Ling Zi resisted the urge to punch the other party in the face, and asked, "I'm sorry, may I ask you Gui Geng?" ”

"Nine out of thirty in Chinese New Year's Eve, but in the face of true love, age is not an issue."

It's not a problem, your sister, you're twenty-two years older than me, okay. Don't say that I am a man at heart, even if I am really a woman at heart, it is impossible to accept such an age difference!

"Maybe the age gap isn't a problem for Mr. Motegi, but it's quite a problem for me."

"That's a pity, I don't confess to others easily, I didn't expect to fail after a rare confession." Haruki Motegi said with a regretful expression.

How confident are you in yourself, how do you think your confession will be successful?

At this moment, another car approached and stopped not far from Zero and Motegi.

Four people got out of the car one after another, namely Mori Kogoro, Xiaolan, Conan, and an old woman.

Conan was slightly surprised to see Zero, but then returned to normal. It is said that many detectives were gathered at this dinner, and it is normal for Kaneda Ichiko to be invited now that he is famous.

When Kogoro saw Zero, he was slightly stunned, and then his eyes stayed on Xiaobai, who was on Zero's shoulder.

Only then did Zero remember that in this incident, Maori Kogoro was dropped early, and Kogoro who appeared in front of him at this moment was Kidd disguised.

"Uncle Kogoro, is there anything strange about me that you are staring at me like this?" Zero decides to tease Kidd.

When Xiaolan heard this, she hurriedly reprimanded "Xiao Goro" and said, "Really, Dad, you are so rude like this!" ”

"Kogoro" also hurriedly defended himself: "No, I just saw Zero's classmate with a pigeon, and I thought it was quite strange." ”

While Kidd was arguing, he was still worried in his heart, his previous disguise was seen through by Zero at a glance, and this time it shouldn't be the same.

No, no, Kidd, you have to be confident in your cross-dressing skills, so no matter how good Kaneda's observation is, it is impossible to see through his cross-dressing skills every time...... bar.

However, Lingzi's next sentence made him feel cold instantly: "It seems that Uncle Kogoro, you really like my Xiaobai." ”

Sure enough, this guy has seen through my identity again! Kidd wants to cry without tears, this is really unreasonable!

At this moment, the old woman who came by Kogoro said to Zero, "Do you have a pigeon...... You can't be the Phantom Boy who invited us here, right? ”

Zero remembers that this old woman's name is Chima Descendant, and it is said that she is a powerful person who can solve the case by sitting on a recliner and listening to the facts. Unexpectedly, she actually said that she was a phantom boy.

The invitation was signed "Forsaken by God, Phantom Boy".

God's forsaken baby in the New Testament refers to "the little goat that is not blessed by God", and the little goat is "kid" in English.

Phantom, Phantom in English. The phantom boy can be understood as a kid who is as ethereal as a phantom.

Then the identity of the person who sent the invitation is clear, it is the Kid of phantom thief!

Zero naturally knew that this invitation was sent by someone in the name of Kidd, and as for who sent it, Zero had no impression. The real Kidd learns that his name has been stolen, so he takes the opportunity to disguise himself as Kogoro and infiltrate the dinner.

But what I didn't expect was that I was suspected of being a thief Kidd again, just because of a pigeon. If I had known, I wouldn't have brought Xiaobai here.

Xiaobai noticed Zero's thoughts, and cooed a few times aggrievedly.

At this time, Haruki Motegi also nodded and said, "I see, I just paid attention to her appearance just now, but I didn't even notice the pigeon, it's really a mistake to be a detective." I wonder how my confession could have been rejected, if you're a Phantom Boy, then it all makes sense. ”

Because I rejected your confession, I could only be the thief Kidd? Do you want to be so narcissistic?

Conan didn't speak, he already knew that Zero had picked up a pigeon to keep it. "Kogoro" was a little apprehensive, he was afraid that Zero would be suspected ruthlessly, and exposed himself in order to prove his innocence.

Zero Zi smiled slightly, and said to the two: "I am Jintian Yi Lingzi, not a phantom boy. Isn't it possible for anyone other than the Phantom Boy to keep pigeons? ”

The old woman was noncommittal and said, "I have also read some news about Miss Kanedaichi, but I don't think she has the habit of carrying a pigeon with her...... But forget it, let's talk about it first. After all, it's raining, and it's not like standing at the door all the time. By the way, I'm a thousand descendants, please advise. ”
