The Dark Express Chapter 280 Epilogue (8)
I don't know how long it took, but the detective finally collected his emotions, took the small half cup of coffee, went into the kitchen and poured it out, and brushed the coffee stains off it with water, before taking the cup back to the small basement and putting it back in its original position, as if nothing had changed. Looking down and opening the drawer of the computer desk, the detective had already observed all the decoration of the room, and this was the only place where the antidote could be hidden, so it could be said that he had the hope of leaving Japan. Looking carefully at the items in the drawer, although he was curious about Gray Yuan's things, but out of respect for her, even if she was no longer there, Conan didn't want to look through her things casually, just wanted to find the antidote. Soon a small box was turned out by Conan, and when he opened the lid of the box, there was a red and white capsule inside, thinking that it was the antidote to APTX4869, Conan put the small box in his pocket, and for the sake of safety, he continued to rummage in the drawer, and there was nothing else like an antidote. Conan relented and put everything else back into the distance, closed the drawers again, turned off the lights in the basement, and the detective left Dr. Asasa's house.
……
In the early morning of the next day, Mao Lilan, dressed in white, was walking on the road of Rice Flower Town, such a big thing had just happened, and she, an ordinary high school student, must not be completely indifferent, from the heavy dark circles on her eyes, it can be seen that she must have not slept well at all last night; At this time, she was also average, waking up very early in the morning, and then she could not fall back asleep.
After getting up, Xiaolan walked to the door of Uncle Maori's room, opened the door and looked at the small bed that originally belonged to Conan, which was already empty at this time, thinking of Shinichi and saying that he could meet him today, could it be that the two of them were really one person and couldn't appear in front of him at the same time? Shaking his head, he shook off the crankiness in his heart, and looked at his father with a little envy, there was such a big thing around him, and two acquaintances died in the explosion, he could still sleep peacefully as usual, and even now he is still snoring like thunder. Closed the door of the room for Kogoro again, looking at the empty home, Xiaolan didn't have much interest in staying here by herself, so she simply went to Shinichi's house in advance to have a look, anyway, they were going to meet today, as for whether there were any other thoughts, I'm afraid only Xiaolan herself knew.
Xiaolan, who came to the door of Kudo's house, hesitated, and did not use her key to open the door, but chose to ring the doorbell, after all, it is possible that Mr. Okiya is still inside, and it is not polite to break in rashly, of course, if Xiaolan carefully reads the list of missing persons, she will know that Okiya Pleiades has also been affected by the explosion, and she will never be able to return here. However, with Xiaolan's usual kind character, where would she see such a list of missing persons, not to mention that it also had the names and surnames of people she knew, so she didn't dare to look at it again.
Long after the doorbell rang, when Xiaolan was about to take out the key to open the door, the door of the villa was opened, and a man in pajamas walked out of it, the buttons of his shirt were not fastened, revealing a part of his white chest and collarbones, who could it be that was not a high school student detective Kudo Shinichi? Shinichi staggered from inside the house towards the iron door, and said lazily, "It's Xiaolan, don't you have the key?" Why don't you come in yourself and ring the doorbell? As he spoke, Shinichi had already walked to the gate, slowly opened the iron door, and let Xiaolan in.
"Shinichi!" Xiaolan shouted Shinichi's name, and pounced on Shinichi, who had just been woken up and was still a little sluggish, tears flowed out instantly, God knows how much pressure such a thing brought to her heart, but there was no one around her to talk to her, and when she saw Shinichi who had not seen her for a long time, her pressure was finally released.
"Lan ......" Shinichi didn't know how to comfort her, and at this moment, a female voice came from the direction of Kudo's house, "Huh? Is it Xiaolan? Xiaolan looked inside, and it turned out to be Shinichi's mother, Yukiko Kudo, who came back, Xiaolan's face immediately turned red, and she quickly let go of Shinichi, "Aunt Yukiko." ”
"Xiaolan, come in...... Looks like I didn't come back at the right time. ”
……
After Shinichi washed up, he brought two breakfasts from the kitchen, ordinary toast and milk, and handed them to Xiaolan, and the two of them ate together, while eating breakfast, while listening to Xiaolandi's narration, everything about him after he left, about Conan, about the Suzuki mysterious train, everything that happened during this period of time, Xiaolan was telling Shinichi, and Shinichi stayed aside and listened carefully. I don't know how long it has been, Shinichi stood up and proposed to go out with Xiaolan, Xiaolan naturally happily agreed, and after greeting Yukiko, the two walked together in the town of Rice Flower Town.
Passing through a park, "Wait a minute, I'm going to the toilet......" Shinichi was about to run towards the public toilet in the park as he spoke, but he didn't expect his hand to be grabbed by Xiaolan, "Let's go over together." Xiaolan obviously thought of the appearance of Shinichi when he left, and no longer dared to let him run around by himself.
The two walked into the park together, came to the door of the toilet, Shinichi ran a few steps and walked in, walked to the door of a certain cubicle, knocked on the door of the cubicle gently, and shouted quietly, "It's me......"
The door to the cubicle was slammed open from the inside, and another Kudo Shinichi came out of it, "There's nothing wrong with your ears open." ”
The Shinichi outside the door rubbed his hair, "I don't know why my hearing returned to normal after taking the temporary antidote, but I don't know if it will be so good after returning to Conan's appearance." With a light sigh, it seems that this new one is the real new one.
Shinichi shrugged his shoulders and handed the bag he was carrying on his shoulder to the one outside the door, "There are Conan's clothes in here, I suggest you wait here until your body gets smaller before going out, otherwise it won't be good to be seen, why are you taking the antidote?" "Of course, this Shinichi is made of Hattori's makeup.,Came to cooperate with Shinichi's acting.,As for his makeup is from Yukiko's hand.,Isn't it very simple to turn two people who are already somewhat similar in appearance into one person?
"It's not for Xiaolan, I guess she will come to the door in the morning and knock on the door, it's safer to take the antidote in advance, even if she doesn't come, she can turn back into Conan at the right time, and this antidote was turned out in the laboratory of Gray Plains, I don't know how effective it is, I have to test it before I can use this to go to the United States."
"Have you already decided? If you don't have any problems with your ears when you're back to Conan's body, do you still have to go? Hattori asked.
Shinichi was silent for a long time and didn't give him an exact answer, "You better go out quickly, it's not good for Xiaolan to wait for a long time, I'll take the initiative to contact you after I turn back into Conan." ”
"Hmm." Hattori answered softly and walked out of the bathroom, and Kudo's answer was already obvious, that he was indeed still leaving, and that he was indeed deliberately avoiding all that was happening in Japan.
……
Xiaolan and Shinichi continued to wander around the streets of Rice Flower Town, neither of them made any dating plans, Xiao Lan was not in this mood, of course Shinichi didn't want Hattori to take advantage, so the two walked aimlessly in Rice Flower Town. Suddenly, Xiaolan's phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number, Xiaolan didn't want to pay attention to it, this is the joy and sorrow of life, and she naturally resists herself to many things and many social relationships, not to mention strangers, and now the only people who can talk to Xiaolan on the phone besides her parents are Miss Yuanzi and Kudo Shinichi or two.
Just as he wanted to hang up the phone and put it back in his pocket, Shinichi next to him spoke, "Whose phone is it?" Why don't you pick it up? ”
"I don't know the number, I don't want to pick up ......"
"You still have to pick it up, in case something really happens, besides, didn't you say that the police require you to keep your communications open at all times?" Shinichi reminded from the side.
Xiao Lan nodded, pressed the connect button, and after a short call, Xiao Lan's expression became very exciting, surprised, sad, confused, relieved, all kinds of expressions were revealed on her face. "What's wrong with you?" Shinichi asked from the side.
"Conan, he injured his ear in the previous incident, and now his hearing has deteriorated severely, and his mother is now taking him to the office, saying that she is going to take some of his belongings, and he will go to the United States for ear treatment in a few days......" Xiaolan looked at Shinichi in front of her with a hint of scrutiny, could it be that the two of them were really not alone? Only when the two of them go back to the office together and see the two of them staying together with their own eyes, Xiaolan will believe it, because through the previous conversation, Xiaolan can be sure that the current Shinichi is real, as long as Shinichi can appear with Conan at the same time, she can be sure that Conan and Shinichi are really not alone, "Let's go back together, don't you have a good relationship with Conan?" You should take a good look at him, too. ”
……
Detective agency, the master's seat Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan sat together, opposite Edogawa Wendai and Edogawa Conan mother and son, "This time is really thanks to your care, Conan He often mentions you to me, Sister Xiaolan, and says that he likes you very much......" Wendai's words are all related to Xiaolan, but Xiaolan seems to be a little absent-minded at this time, her eyes scanned back and forth on Conan and Shinichi's bodies, and the two really appeared in front of her eyes at the same time, Could it be that all her previous thoughts were wrong?
Wendai has been telling about Conan, and Xiaolan and Kogoro opposite her have a little absent-minded, and after talking for a long time, Wendai took out a thick envelope and handed it to Kogoro, who was already yawning over there, "This is a thank you for taking care of this child during this time." Xiao Golang's spirit was quickly raised, but Xiao Lan kept politely refusing, and in the end she couldn't resist Wen Dai insisting on giving it, and her father insisted on receiving it.
"So we'll go first, the plane will be five days later, and we'll come to say goodbye then."
……
5 days later, at Tokyo's Haneda International Airport, Conan and Fumiyo stood holding hands, Dr. Asa took the only three children left in the Junior Detective Group, and Uncle Maori drove here with Xiaolan, Sonoko and Sera to see off Conan together, after all, Japan and the United States are nearly 10,000 kilometers apart, and even the plane will take 12 hours to arrive, so I don't know how long it will take to see you again. There is no need to mention the scene of separation, the children of the Junior Detective Group have red circles in their eyes, and even the garden has quietly wiped away tears in private, only Seliang's eyes are filled with a hint of different thoughts. Xiaolan finally hugged Conan, saying that Conan couldn't hear any precious words, so it was better to use this way to make him feel what he wanted to say in his heart. After Conan said goodbye to everyone present one by one, he dragged Wen Dai's hand to the VIP security channel, and soon the two had already passed the security check, turned around and bowed his hand and walked into the passage and could not see it again, I don't know if we can see each other again after this separation.
……
There was a bulge in his ears, the plane had been lifted into the sky, and in the first class cabin of the plane that flew directly from Tokyo to New York, Kudo Shinichi sat by the window, looking out, as if looking in the direction of the airport through the glass window, he could see the people who had just separated from him.
"Don't look at it, what should I do if I get dizzy." The woman next to Shinichi was talking and straightened his head with her hand, it was Shinichi's mother, Yukiko.
"Okay." Shinichi also knew that his mother was right, so he sat up straight and said softly, "Goodbye, Japanese ......"
(I have to finish what I said with tears in my eyes, and now that the detective world is over, it's time to go back to the Hokage world.) )
