Chapter 150: Doubt
Because of the garden's words, everyone's attention shifted from the case to my face, Xiaolan originally said it casually, and there was no special meaning, but when the garden said this, she squatted down and looked at me and Conan's faces side by side with the garden.
"When you say that, it seems that this is really the case," Xiaolan's eyes widened and she patrolled back and forth between me and Conan: "If you look closely, Xiaohui and Conan's eyebrows seem to be a little similar, but this similarity is too small, as long as you take two steps away, you can't notice such a tiny part." Hawkers, this is all normal, after all, it's a distant cousin, aren't Conan and Dr. Asa also distant cousins, and they don't look like them. ”
I have similarities with Conan, and other people don't feel anything special, and even think it's normal because we're "distant cousins". Except for Conan.
Conan knows very well that the so-called "cousin identity" is nothing more than a lie casually told by Xiao Wai in order to cover me when I just broke into everyone's life in an abrupt manner.
Conan didn't seem to care about the gossip Xiaolan and Yuanzi, and looked like he was concentrating on the case, but under my deliberate attention, I still noticed that Conan's pupils that seemed to be inadvertently turning were watching me carefully, observing my expression. I remember this happening when I first returned home, when my mother's unusually intimate attitude towards me aroused Conan's suspicions, but then I was disrupted by my style of behavior that was incompatible with his worldview, and I didn't expect to turn around a long time, and actually raised questions about me in the garden's unintentional words.
Conan's movements have become more subtle than before, and I can't even deny our resemblance from the front, otherwise it would be tantamount to confirming the fact that I am hiding something, whether it is identity or something else. Once Conan's curiosity was aroused, he became interested in digging up some of my things, and although I thought I was hiding it secretly, I didn't hide it all from his faith. So in the face of this crisis, the best thing to do is to quietly show some small details quietly, hint at Conan, and shouting is the biggest taboo among the big taboos.
Conan is very smart, very smart, and smart people are very confident, just like during the exam, even if a student who studies average shows the standard answers to Xueba, Xueba may not believe it, but would rather believe in his calculations. So instead of helping him judge and give him answers, I should give him clues and guide him to reason about the effect I want.
In a flash, I paid attention and smiled at Xiaolan: "After all, they are only distant relatives, and after several generations, there can only be a little residual genetic information expressed in appearance." "Anyway, fool Xiaolan and them first, Conan's words, you have to take your time.
Thinking about the next period of time, I will have to face the suspicious Conan, and I can't help but have a headache.
"Well, that's what I said, anyway, it's only right to solve this case first, and then hurry home to eat, I've been messing around with you little devils for so long, my stomach is almost hungry. The self-conscious Miss Garden, who hadn't caused me any big trouble, patted her stomach and sighed.
At the beginning, it was she who pulled us to help her solve the case, but now she is with us, alas.
"Oh, no, it's already past four o'clock, you have to hurry back and cook!" Xiaolan glanced at her watch and exclaimed.
In fact, the general process of the case has been analyzed by Conan and me just now, and there is only a little process left to lock the prisoner, which is actually not very difficult, because such a lot of seemingly absurd strange talks actually revolve around one person, that is, Hideaki Hosaka, who died unexpectedly back then, and the purpose is also obvious, that is, to remind everyone of Hideaki Hosaka, so as to pay attention to the accident back then. Assuming that the accident was not an accident but a deliberate murder, then the initiators of this series of strange stories were either people who had a good relationship with Hideaki Hosaka and wanted to avenge him, or people who knew the inside story and had a grudge against the prisoner of the year, so as to pull the murderer back into the water through these events. Judging from the fact that the person also knew that Hideaki Hosaka usually read very obscure books, in either case, the prisoner in this case must have a close relationship with Hideaki Hosaka. Judging from the previous investigation, Eija Hoita is an introverted and somewhat withdrawn student, and there are very few people who are close to him.
Coincidentally, there was a person present who met all the criteria. What's even more coincidental is that judging from this person's conditions, it happens that everything can be done.
That person's name is Shigu Guofan, and Hosaka Hideaki's hair is small.
Thinking of this, I can't help but look at Conan, what I can think of, Conan must be able to think of, if he doesn't follow my train of thought, it can only mean one thing, that is, he is still thinking about my identity.
Just now, because of my weak heart, I avoided it, or I pretended not to see Conan's inquiring eyes, and now that I have a reasonable excuse for the case, I finally regret taking the opportunity to explore Conan's expression.
The moment I looked at Conan, I couldn't help but feel a little drumming in my heart, for fear of seeing the scene I didn't want to, Conan's slightly questioning eyes. But to my little excitement, Conan looked at me with an affirmative gaze and nodded slightly, his eyes completely full of confidence and a slight excitement in his eyes when solving the case, and his attention was completely absorbed by the case.
So I pretended to be in touch with Conan and nodded to Conan to indicate that I thought the same thing as him about the case.
My heart beat a little faster, it seemed that Conan didn't pay as much attention to the garden's words as I had thought, and for the rest of the while, as long as I didn't take it lightly, Conan's little doubts would naturally disappear.
"Hey, what are you two imps doing?" noticing the eye between me and Conan, the garden couldn't help but shout at us with his hands on his hips.
"Conan has found out who the prisoner is!" In order to prevent the garden from saying anything that gave me a headache without thinking about it, I quickly sold Conan. Dead friends do not die poor.
"Really?!" At this moment, the attention of the new doctor and the two girls was pulled back.
"Hmm!" Conan glanced at me resentfully, nodded, and asked Xiaolan to call the students they had met before, such as Shumei, Shigu Guofan, and the students of the art department, saying that they were going to start catching ghosts in front of everyone.
Then he started reasoning by catching ghosts, of course, he still used the tone of a child to sell cuteness, pretending to be a mistake, and from time to time "occasionally" inspired the audience, and then borrowed their mouths to say what they wanted to say, and it was very tiring to watch. However, Conan is already a veteran actor, and this set is very slippery.
It's just that his resentful eyes that float by from time to time make me a little embarrassed. I think he probably wanted to reason through the mouth of the garden before, so that he didn't have to play a child, saving time and effort. But the plan hasn't changed quickly, so there's no way.
The next thing is simple, just like Conan's reasoning, everything is done by that ancient country, as a friend of Hideaki Hosaka, he has always believed that his friend was bullied to death by his classmates, so he wants to scare the murderer through this series of strange events, forcing him to show his feet because of his weak heart, so as to avenge his friend. Because they are friends, Shigu Kunishi knows the books that Hideaki Hosaka likes to read, knows the clubs he joins, and at the same time, his home is very close to the school, and it is convenient to bring ice, so everything has come to light at this point.
But to everyone's surprise, Hideaki Hosaka's desk, which was placed in the warehouse full of dust because no one paid attention to it, was evidence that he believed that his friend was being bullied, but the fact is that because he cherished Hideaki Hosaka, the classmates in Hideaki Hosaka's class begged the teacher to say that the desk was sealed in the warehouse, waiting for the day when Hideaki Hosaka would participate in the graduation of the class on behalf of Hideaki Hosaka.
What I think is the "evidence" of other people's evil and linger on it is precisely the best portrayal of everyone's good heart, which has to be said to be a little ironic. Let's hope my brother and I don't end up like this. On the way home, I thought back to the whole incident and felt a slight sigh in my heart.
Hawkers,But I really don't have anything to misunderstand.,Once discovered.,Probably only the four words of death and innocent can describe me.。 Thinking of this, my heart is much lighter.
Back at the office, Uncle Maori was still watching Miss Look's TV show as usual, Xiaolan complained as she put down her things and began to clean up the house and prepare for cooking, while Conan picked up a comic book from the table and began to read it. It may seem like a fairly ordinary routine, but I always feel that something is wrong. If Conan had looked at me directly and suspiciously, I thought I would have been better, and now Conan's behavior is so normal that it makes me a little suspicious.
I think I can kind of understand how Kaito and his brother feel when they are about to be exposed.
It's not good, it's probably because I've been too idle lately, and I'm always cranky. In short, it has been a dangerous period recently, and it is better to suspend contact on the grass and trees, anyway, the matter over there has come to an end recently, and it will take a while to reorganize the company, so I don't need to worry about it. If Conan wants to fool the past, he will probably need Xiao Ai's help. Conan has always believed in Xiao Wai's words. It's strange to say, obviously Xiao Ai and I escaped from the organization, and the time gap was not long, but Conan's trust in Xiao Ai is obviously much greater than mine, why? Could it be that the same sex is repulsive? I couldn't help but touch my face.
"What are you doing? You look thoughtful? Still thinking about what the garden says we look alike?" Seeing that I was stunned in the room for a long time without moving, Conan raised his head and raised his eyes to look at me.
...... I can't wait to slap myself right now!
But I can't deny that Conan must not be allowed to see that I am weak-hearted. So I raised my chin and said arrogantly, "I was thinking, I'm so handsome, where do you look like me?
"Your narcissism is disgusting. Conan rolled his eyes at me, then looked at the comics and ignored me.
That's right, such a reaction is normal. Okay! Just continue to work with this momentum, and then let Xiao Ai help and guide, probably no problem. I was secretly excited. But when I think of Xiao Wai, I can't help but have a toothache.
Little Mourning...... Uh, it seems, it seems, it seems...... I just got a sleeping pill from me.
What did I do, how did I rush together for everything. I couldn't help but moan in my heart.
Before getting Conan, it's better to think about how to deal with Xiao Ai's anger after waking up.
......
"So, you're coming to me for help?" In the darkness, Conan lay under the covers, looking at me with a sly smile in his eyes.
"Shhhh
In the middle of the night, Xiaolan and Uncle Maori were already asleep. In the dark room, Conan and I lay side by side on tatami mats wrapped in a quilt, like two big insects.
"Oh, forget it, you go to bed early, we have to go to school tomorrow, I'm sleepy too. ”
"Don't, I'm wrong, can't I! Just sleep like this, what if I die tomorrow?!"
"It's not me dying anyway. ”
"You have a little conscience, okay! I'll help you hide it from Xiaolan!"
"I'll help you hide it from Xiaolan, won't I?"
Conan's words made me stunned, and then I reacted, Ya almost asked him to go around for me, I helped him hide Xiaolan's identity as "Kudo Shinichi", and what he helped me hide from Xiaolan was the identity of my killer, not the identity of "Kudo Yuichi", to be exact, what he was hiding was not Xiaolan alone, but everyone, not the only "Kudo Shinichi" relative to Xiaolan, so the two cannot be equivalent. Conan actually played a "stealing concept" for me quietly.
Wait, if he is not secretly changing the concept but a temptation, if he is referring to concealment, not the identity of the killer, but "Kudo Yuichi", then, "Kudo Shinichi" and "Kudo Yuichi" are indeed equivalent, is it...... He's testing me?
When I think of this, I can't help but be shocked. Whether this is Conan's intention or not, as long as there is such a possibility, I cannot take it lightly.
So I smiled and pushed Conan, and said angrily: "Go, are we talking about the same thing, hurry up, what should I do about Xiao Ai?" I can't be sure what Conan thinks, I can only divert his attention as soon as possible, but fortunately, the lights have been turned off, and Conan and I can't see each other's faces clearly, and he can't detect the subtle changes in my expression.
"It's hard to say, it's easy to say. Conan didn't realize how complicated my mental activity was just now, and just made a little joke with me, and then gave me a trick: "Have you ever heard of an allusion in China called 'Guilty of Guilt'?"
"I've heard of the story of the harmony. I pouted.
"I didn't expect you to know a lot!" Conan's tone was a little surprised.
"That's, I'm a China expert! And then, what, what? Really let me carry the thorns?" I said, rolling my eyes.
"It's still a Chinese expert, stupid to death. Conan snorted me in disgust and said, "I won't apologize, buy something that Gray Yuan likes, accompany a smiling face, admit punishment and admit punishment, that guy from Gray Yuan wants to save face, if other people are present, she will definitely refuse to pay attention to you, so apologize must apologize alone." ”
"And then?"
"And then she certainly won't forgive you. ”
"Uh, what's the use of me apologizing?" I rolled my eyes at Conan's choking.
"Stupid, as long as you have a good attitude of admitting guilt and admitting punishment and admitting punishment, even if Gray Yuan ignores you on the surface, your heart will always be softer. Conan said to me angrily.
"That's right!" my eyes lit up.
"Then you find a chance to pull everyone out to hang out, and then pull the gray plain up, then she won't be because you have saved everyone's face, and she will follow half-pushed. ”
"yes, and then?" I nodded.
"Then you're looking for a chance to curry favor with Ashbara! I'll teach you that. Conan's tone was full of disgust for me.
"That's right!" "I'm almost going to shoot the case! With Xiao Ai's personality and consideration of everyone's interest, he will never lose face at all, and everyone who is coerced will do things in the name of everyone.
I went, why didn't I find out before, my brother is simply a love saint!
No wonder he deceived Xiaolan so much, and asked Xiaolan to go to the restaurant where her parents fell in love, it turned out to be a routine!
"Beast!" I cursed in a low voice.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, sleep!" I was so refreshed that I fell asleep after a while.
However, it turned out that Conan and I were still too young, too simple, and the next day, Xiao Ai did not come to school. Judging from the dose I drugged Xiao Ai yesterday, she slept until this morning at most, that is, she deliberately did not come to school, and the cold war between her and me has begun.
"Calm down! Look at your panic. Conan rolled his eyes as he watched me scurry around in front of him after school.
"Well, what should I do now? With Xiao Ai's temperament, she will never come to school. I smiled wryly.
"Well, anyway, you go to the doctor's house to apologize to Gray Yuan first, test it, and then let's think about countermeasures. Conan rolled his eyes and said to me.
"This ...... All right. I hesitated for a moment before answering. After all, there's no good way now, anyway, it's good to show your attitude to Xiao Ai first.
Then I ate the closed door.
"Puff, puff, puff, you said you didn't even enter the door?" Hahahaha......" Conan, who still hadn't seen Xiao Ai go to school on the third day, asked me about the apology, and when he heard my reply, Conan couldn't help but laugh.
"Now is a serious issue of class antagonism, Edogawa-san, please take it seriously. I knocked on the table and said. Uncle Maori went to play small steel balls, and Xiaolan hadn't gotten out of school yet, otherwise it would be a bunch of trouble for them to know.
"I understand, I understand, sorry, I couldn't hold back. Ahem, in short, you should 'look at the thatched house three times', you have to make a show of 'taking the guilt', don't you? Go a few more times, even if Gray Yuan is not soft-hearted, the doctor will help you say good things. Conan coughed, sat up straight, and said with a "serious" expression.
"Does this really work?" I will be skeptical.
"Who am I? I'm a detective! believe me!" Conan thumped his chest.
"Huh...... All right. "I'm also sick and rushed to the doctor, forget it, let's be a dead horse doctor.
And then on the fourth day I was still closed.
The fifth day was still closed.
On the sixth day, I couldn't help it, it was not a way to go on like this, so I decided to secretly go to the doctor's house to find out. I can see this guy Conan, I'm addicted to eating deflated, and I've been laughing at my jokes for the past few days, which makes me want to strangle him. The day before yesterday, he encouraged me to persevere, saying that whatever I want to do, the gold and stone are open. Yesterday and today, I couldn't even see anyone, and I didn't know where I had slipped away as soon as I finished eating, and I hated it so much that my teeth itched.
Ready for a flashlight and a small wire to pick the lock, I walked in the direction of the doctor's house while it was dark. Even if I play hard today, I want to see Xiao Ai. I haven't seen Xiao Wai for a few days, I'm already going crazy!
It's seven o'clock, and according to Xiao Ai's usual habits, she should have finished taking a shower and is reading magazines and other things, and I am looking at my watch while weighing it in my heart. After taking a bath, the body and mind will be in a state of relaxation and happiness, which can increase the chance of success of the apology. I cheered myself up in my heart. I don't believe that my earth can't impress Xiao Wai!
I remember someone seemed to say that if it is a man, he should sit down decisively!
When I came to the doctor's house, I found that the light of the doctor's house was on, this feeling was good, I didn't even need the prepared flashlight, the door lock of the doctor's house was not changed to the anti-theft lock, or the old-fashioned lock cylinder in the past, I inserted the wire in, just turned it slightly, and I heard a slight "click" sound of the door lock. Then, with a slight twist of my hand, the moat that blocked me for four days in a row finally became a thoroughfare!
I secretly said sorry to the doctor in my heart, I tiptoed into the room, carefully probed and looked, and found that the doctor was sitting on the sofa and sleeping, and the TV was not turned off, it is estimated that the doctor fell asleep watching the TV again, and Xiao Ai was not in the living room.
It's good to ventilate with the doctor first. With this thought to myself, I cautiously walked over to the doctor and gently woke him up.
"Ahhh
"Doctor, where is Mourning?" I whispered to the Doctor.
"Little ...... Well, in the basement. The doctor thought for a moment and said. Originally, I wanted to ask Xiao Ai how she was feeling lately, but after the doctor answered my first question, she fell asleep again, obviously there was no way to help me more, I had to rely on myself.
Little by little, I approached the basement, where the door was hidden to reveal a dim light.
As soon as I entered, I sat down to admit my mistake before Xiao Ai could react, and then hugged her and cried, and I didn't let go!
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the door, I heard Conan's voice.
"What's going on, Ashbara, it's been five days since that guy is getting nervous, and your punishment is about the same, right?"
"Ah, I didn't say anything, is our detective distressed?" Xiao Ai's cold voice revealed a hint of ridicule.
In an instant, 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped by in my heart, and these two fellows were actually a gang! I want to hear what these two fellows are plotting. Thinking of this, I cautiously leaned against the door and listened to the movement inside.
"It's not distressing, I just feel that guy is quite pitiful. Although at first I also wanted to get revenge on him for betraying me. ”
"You should teach him a lesson this time, otherwise next time it won't be as simple as sleeping pills, this guy has always been very bold. Hearing this, Xiao Wai's tone still carried these thin angers.
"I think it's okay, don't let that guy get into a dead end and hurt the relationship between you," Conan sighed in the room, "After all, he's doing it for your good." ”
"No, I know him, you don't understand what is going on between us. Xiao Wai's casual tone carried unmistakable affirmation.
"You know him?" said Conan.
"Hmm, do you want to ask me anything?" Xiao Ai instantly understood Conan's intentions.
"Well, I wanted to ask a little bit about him. Conan's voice hesitated.
“...... I remember you asking these things before, right? Well, as a thank you for your help with this, you want to know what to ask. ”
"Will you tell me anything I want to know?!" Conan's overjoyed voice came from the other side of the door.
"Guess?"
Conan didn't reply, probably choked up, but at this moment, not only did Conan want to guess what Xiao Wai thought, but I also wanted to guess outside the door.
Conan was still suspicious of me, what did he want to ask, and how would Xiao Ai answer him? These uncertainties made me kick in a little, but I couldn't just kick in the door and interrupt their conversation, that would be useless except to deepen Conan's suspicions.
I can only hope that Little Mourning will not be taken out by Conan.
My heart pounds with Conan's voice!
"The first question I want to ask is ......"
