Chapter 16: Parents

"Really, it's scary to have chances. A young woman with sunglasses came to the front of the carriage and said meaningfully.

At this sound, my body stiffened violently, and I looked in disbelief at the source of the sound......

It's been ten years, ten years...... I'm finally seeing you again......

I jerked my head down, my fists clenched on my knees, and the green tendons on my arms bulged out!

"Mom...... Mom......" I shuddered and muttered to myself. I didn't dare to look up, I was afraid that as soon as I raised my head, I would burst out of my tears! It's been ten years! I've been thinking about the person I've been thinking about for ten years, and it's right in front of me right now! But I can't throw myself into her arms and just call her mother! It's been ten years, and the bone-eating pain of the first separation is clearly engraved in my mind at this time. Mother and son are connected! Mother and son are heart-to-heart! I have not personally experienced the pain of separation from mother and son, and who can understand my feelings at this moment! Obviously, after nine deaths and several lives and deaths, I finally ushered in the reunion that I thought about for a long time, but I can only be a stranger! My mother is standing less than 10 meters away from me at this moment, mother! Mom! I want to call her so much! But I can't recognize her! In just 10 meters, it has become a moat!

I must hold back! I can't recognize each other! I can't let my parents know more about the organization, and the more I know, the more dangerous it becomes! I almost bit my lips!

"Xiaohui, are you alright?" the attentive Xiaolan immediately realized that something was wrong with me.

“...... Not...... ...... "I almost gritted my teeth and spit out a few words, but my body trembled even more as if it were swinging.

"Hey, you guy, are you okay?!" Conan also showed my strange appearance, seeing that my face was pale, his expression was painful, and the blue tendons on my clenched fists seemed to be in extreme pain, not like a fraud, so he hurriedly said to Uncle Maori: "Uncle, he seems to have acute appendicitis or something like that, hurry up and call a doctor." ”

"Well, it seems so, you wait, I'll go to the conductor and see if there is a doctor among the passengers. Uncle Maori's expression was also stern, and he stood up and looked at his clothes and was about to go out, but I grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Uncle, I'm fine. I looked up and smiled at Uncle Maori, still a little pale.

"Xiaohui, are you really okay? It's better to see the doctor to be safe?" Xiaolan was still uneasy, and said to me with a worried face.

Before I could reply, a gust of incense mixed with the scent of women's body fragrance and perfume came to me: "This little brother looks a little uncomfortable, let me see it if you can, but I still understand some first aid." "It's still the sound of a wind chime that haunts me in my memory.

"Ah, that's so thankful. Xiaolan hurriedly thanked her.

"No, no, I'm fine, it's just a little motion sickness, uncle, Sister Xiaolan, I'll go back and rest first." Before she could reply, I hurriedly refused. Before everyone could react, I walked out with my head down. I was afraid that if I was too late, I would really have a showdown with her regardless of it! But I didn't notice that the moment I spoke, her body trembled violently!

......

"I'm sorry, this kid is a little withdrawn, it's really rude. Mori Kogoro said apologetically to the young woman.

"No, it's nothing, you're so polite. The young woman was stunned for a moment before she reacted to his words, and she seemed to have a sense of loss of soul.

Xiaolan and the three of them all felt a little inexplicable.

"This is the wise lady who has booked dinner, right? Come with me, then. At this moment, a train attendant stepped forward and said to the young woman, but she was still there.

"Miss?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I decided not to eat it. At the urging of the waiter, the young woman finally came to her senses, turned her head and said apologetically to the waiter.

"Excuse me, do you have any motion sickness medicine? A little kid who was traveling with us was a little sick with me. Xiaolan said to the waiter.

"Yes, I'll pick it up, you wait. The waiter bowed and smiled, and then walked out.

"Excuse me. ”

"That kid just now...... Who are you?" the young woman asked Abruptly as she interjected to Ran. Suddenly, he seemed to feel that his tone seemed to be a little rude, and he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt, but please be sure to tell me! This is very important to me!"

"Where, where, you're welcome. Do you know Hui? He is Conan's cousin and currently lives in our house. Xiaolan waved her hand embarrassedly and pointed at Conan to the young woman.

"I see. Thank you. Then I'll take my leave. Hearing that the little boy was living in a Maori house, the young woman's mood suddenly seemed to improve.

"Wait, Auntie, do you know my cousin?" Conan asked, looking at the young woman who was walking out. The current Edogawa Akiki is full of mysteries for him, and if he can extract some useful information from this person who seems to know him, it will undoubtedly be an unexpected gain. Conan pondered.

"No, I guess I recognized the wrong person. The young woman waved her hand without looking back, and walked out.

"What, that woman? Mori Kogoro muttered dissatisfied.

"I guess I recognized the wrong person. "Xiaolan feels normal.

The woman seemed to know the guy before, otherwise they wouldn't have changed color at the same time as soon as they met. But who the hell is that woman? Someone of the organization? No, she doesn't have that kind of smell in her. So how the hell did she know that guy? Does she know his true identity? Conan was puzzled.

......

Returning to the car of my accommodation and looking out the window at the scenery speeding backwards, my heart slowly calmed down. Before this, I always thought that I would be able to face Yiqiē very calmly, cooperate with my brother in a bright and dark way, calmly destroy the organization, and then recognize my family, so the ending was happy and happy. But I still didn't expect how much I missed my loved ones! In the past, I didn't feel much when I was hiding this deep longing in my heart, but when I met my mother today, the surging and fiery emotions in my heart erupted violently like a volcanic explosion! Even I almost couldn't restrain myself!

It seems that this situation will need to be paid attention to in the future. Alas, it's a pity that I was really afraid that I couldn't restrain myself, so I didn't dare to talk to her, otherwise, I would have asked her about the carriage where she lived, and let me look at her in the corner...... I sighed into the window.

"It's not a good habit for children to sigh all the time! With Xiaolan's voice, Conan and Uncle Maori also walked into the carriage.

"You're back so soon, Sister Xiaolan and Uncle. I turned my head and smiled, and naturally ignored Conan. Conan pouted unhappily.

"Of course, because you're worried about Xiaohui, is the motion sickness a little better?" Xiaolan carefully observed my face.

"Well, it's much better. I nodded and smiled.

"Here, motion sickness medicine, I got it from the flight attendant. Xiaolan handed over the medicine in her hand.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaolan. I screamed sweetly. Alas, it seems that it will not work if you don't eat it. Anyway, I hate taking pills the most. I used to have a fever or a cold or something like that, and I survived it.

"You're welcome, I said that children don't always sigh. Xiaolan raised her eyebrows dissatisfied.

"Yes. I reluctantly responded.

"By the way, Xiaohui, do you know that aunt just now? That aunt asked us about you just now!" Xiaolan said to me as if she remembered something.

"But I don't know her, she knows the wrong person. I didn't show a smile on my face, but I couldn't help but think in my heart: Won't you recognize me? No, I haven't seen you for ten years, my mother's thoughts are definitely more powerful than mine, and if she really recognized me, she would have pounced on me a long time ago. But I obviously lowered my head, she shouldn't have seen my face, is it just because of feelings? A woman's intuition is really terrible.

"I see. Xiaolan didn't delve into it, so Uncle Maori talked about another topic.

"Look, we are in the tunnel!" Xiaolan leaned in front of the car window and looked at the tunnel outside to Conan. It's already four o'clock in the morning, and Ran and Conan can't sleep because they're traveling on a luxury train for the first time, and they've been looking out the window.

"You two haven't slept yet, hey, it's already four o'clock!" Uncle Maori couldn't help but sit up and look at his watch.

"What's the matter, I can't sleep anyway. Xiaolan smiled.

"Bang. "A muffled, small sound came to my ears, like the muffled sound of someone slamming a thick cushion on the ground.

"Was there any strange sound just now?" I asked Ran as I sat up abruptly.

"I don't know, I didn't hear that. "Little Landau.

"Ah!!!h At this time, Uncle Maori, Conan and Xiaolan were all shocked.

"What's wrong?

"There must have been a strange sound before that scream. Uncle Maori said as he and Conan opened the door of the carriage and looked out.

"It must have been gunshots!" Conan said, turning his head and looking at Uncle Maori.

"Stupid, but how do you know if you look at it?" Uncle Maori was a little unconvinced.

I was looking out the window and searching hard for my own memories, and the burden of life in front of me became more and more familiar to me. It's just a little bit, it's almost a little bit and I remember!

Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of the door! Then someone shouted, "Someone has been killed!"

But these gunshots woke me up, and the memories in my mind suddenly came to mind! Yes! It's my father's novel!

The sound of gunfire and screams faded from the rumbling sound inside the tunnel...... The man fled like a hungry beast through the dark passages......

Little by little, the plot of the novel was filled in my mind, and I gradually became aware of the criminal's modus operandi. Uncle Maori and Conan have already chased them out.

"However, the man is no longer there......," I whispered, the corners of my mouth curled slightly.

"Xiaohui, what did you say?" asked Xiaolan, who was waiting with me in the carriage.

"Nothing. ”

Uncle Maori, Ran, and Conan had already gone out to help the police solve the case, but I was not interested, so I stayed in the car under the pretext of fear. Since I've never been out, and I'm not even an eyewitness, this case has nothing to do with me. Unfortunately, I can't tell Conan for his modus operandi, because I can't explain why I've read that novel too. Otherwise, it could have been solved sooner.

After staying for a while, I decided to go out and have a look, because I was really bored, but I happened to meet the police department searching my mother's room. I quickly hid around the corner and watched secretly.

"Huh, do you only have that handbag in your luggage?" the police department looked a little surprised.

"Yes, I'm just riding a horse to Hokkaido. "Mom is a matter of course.

"Ah, I've seen that", Conan interjected, "Auntie has to wear a hard hat when she rides a horse, and what pants do she have?"

"You mean breeches, right? Of course. ”

What is this? Mother, you fell into the trap.

"It's amazing to have done it all!" Conan looked like a real child, with envy on his face.

"Of course, little brother. "My brother calls her aunt, but she thinks of herself as an older sister, and she really cares about her age as much as before. I looked at my mom and smiled.

"So do you have to do it all yourself?"

"Yes, if it's old, you can replace it yourself. For example, gloves or riding boots. ”

"I'm sorry, the guests are getting impatient, but can you let the car go to the station?" said the conductor tentatively to the police.

"No, no, no, don't move until you've surveyed all the rooms, because you might throw the evidence out of the window. The stubble-faced police department flatly refused without thinking about it.

"In that case, we should investigate the tunnel. Uncle Maori said unhappily on the side.

"Hmph, I told them to do it a long time ago. "That police department and Uncle Maori seem to be a little bit incompatible......

"Nishimura Police Department, inside the tunnel...... The body of a man was found inside the tunnel. Just then, a police officer ran over and gasped to report to the police department.

"What...... What?"

I followed the crowd outside, and I also saw the male corpse on the ground that had been carried out by the police. To my displeasure, the male corpse turned out to be Asama Yasuji! My 220 million...... Blown......

I looked up at the stars in the sky in desolation. Alas, after more than a year, I have encountered such a setback in my comeback, is it because God has destined me to be a good citizen? Forget it, I finally reunited with my mother, and I wanted to be auspicious, and it was good if I didn't get bloody.

"Wait a minute, the one who was killed in the train was the owner of the jewelry store that was robbed by the robber Asama. A police officer said suddenly.

"What?"

"It seems that there must be some connection. Uncle Maori said.

"Well," Officer Nishimura muttered, "Forget it, he's dead too, and we know the identity of the prisoner, so let's inform the commander that we can drive." ”

"Yes. A police officer responded.

Suddenly, I felt two eyes on my back. I looked back and now, I don't know when, my mother was leaning against the train door behind me, her eyes were staring at me. I shrank my head and plunged into the crowd.

The train is finally moving again.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'll go to the toilet. In the carriage, Conan suddenly said to Little Ran.

"Well, go ahead, be careful. Xiaolan nodded in response.

After a while, I also said to Xiaolan: "Sister Xiaolan, I'll go to the toilet too." ”

"Okay, come back soon. ”

"Hmm. ”

Walking around the corner, I looked at it, and sure enough, Conan was confronting his mother.

"Now, sister. ”

"Oh, little brother, it's you. Is there something to do with my sister?"

"Well, I'm really convinced of you," Conan's expression suddenly became terrifying, "You can pretend to be so realistic." ”

"What?"

"It's a lie to go horseback riding. Actually, you took this train for some other reason. ”

"What are you talking about, little brother, my sister is really riding a horse......" Mom's tone became visibly flustered.

"Stupid, what I just said is horse manure, I don't even know this, how can I ride a horse?" Compared with his mother's panic, Conan looked like he was holding a wisdom bead: "Quick, tell me your identity, I've already counted, Auntie." ”

My mother was silent for a while, and finally smiled helplessly: "Hmph, you still see through it." As he spoke, he took off his sunglasses: "It's worthy of Shinichi." ”

"Hmph, I don't care if it's a stranger, but it's just a change of type and lipstick color, and I can't hide from my son's eyes. Conan had a "sure enough" expression.

"It's hard work, you have to put your head up. Mom complained.

"So, what's your reason for sneaking in here in such a deliberate casual gut?"

"Oh no, how can I not pretend? I'm a celebrity in Japan. Mom said as a matter of course.

"How many years ago was that?" Not only Conan, but even me, who was eavesdropping behind my back, couldn't help but leave a drop of cold sweat.

"Whoa. I will take this train because I saw the news in Japan in the newspapers of Soviet Russia, the robber who robbed the jewelry store left strange words and fled without robbing anything, this strange news. ”

"So, it's really ......"

"Well, Yusaku also said that this is the most ridiculous behavior of professional robbers. And the strange sentence that the prisoner said at the scene, 'It's not the same as agreed', is exactly the same as the robber novel he wrote ten years ago. Although it is different from the novel, it is not the jewelry store that was robbed but the art museum......"

"And then, and then?"

"Of course we called the jewelry store. We asked the people in the store if your boss had booked a long train ride, because in the novel, the owner of the art museum was shot in a tunnel, and they said they were going to take the Big Dipper in six days. ”

"Why don't you stop it?!" the old brother with a sense of justice suddenly became excited, and questioned his mother.

"How do I know when I go to the toilet and the incident happens?"

"Then at least talk to me about it!"

"But Shinichi has always been with Xiaolan. "Mom looked very aggrieved.

"Even so, there should be another way...... "The old brother's tone involuntarily weakened.

"Then you mean that I was the one who killed him?!" Feeling the change in my brother's momentum, my mother immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue.

"That's not what I meant...... So where is the person who wrote the book that caused people trouble?" the old brother changed the subject uncomfortably.

"He had already taken the previous Big Dipper to Hokkaido, because when I called the jewelry store, the other party didn't tell us what to do = which one of the trains that only run three times a day, so Yusaku and I sat separately. Yusaku is sitting on the Big Dipper 1, and I'm this Big Dipper 3, and the rest of the Big Dipper 5 will only pass through the tunnel early in the morning, so I think it should be fine. Mom explained.

"I see, it's easier to do it at night. The old brother said clearly.

"And then, by what means?" asked the old man.

"Huh?"

"Didn't you call and ask Daddy?"

"That...... Forgot about ......."

"What?!forgot about it?!"

Because it was written 10 years ago, he said that the novel that was stolen from the magazine 10 years ago was only the first half. But the one who stole the novel is dead. ”

"Dead? Is it ......?"

"That's right, it's Asama Yasuji, the leader of the bandit trio ten years ago. ”

"Don't you think it's strange, why did the boss who stole the novel get killed like the novel?"

"Let's not talk about this for now, in fact, I also came to look for you this time. "Mom was going to Conan's musings.

"Looking for me?"

"Yes, it's mainly to see what you said on the phone, the kid who escaped from the organization and took that medicine like you," the mother stared at Conan and said, "Edogawa Akiki." ”

My heart sank slightly.

"What does Daddy mean?"

"Well, after all, letting a person with an unknown origin and personality stay by your side, Yusaku and I are very worried. Yuichi is gone, in case you ...... How do you let me live!" My mother showed a sad expression that I had never seen before, and my heart trembled at the sight.

"Don't worry, that guy isn't bad. At the mention of my name, my brother's expression also became unusually dark.

It turns out that I haven't forgotten about me...... My heart suddenly warmed.

"Speaking of which, when you saw that guy, you reacted very wrong! Have you seen him before?" asked Conan, who suddenly remembered a scene in the dining room.

"No", the mother shook her head: "I just feel that as soon as I see him, I am very kind, and I have a special and desperate mood to get close to him...... And he's really like ......"

"Like what?"

"No, nothing ......"

"Conan, what are you doing here?" At this moment, Xiaolan suddenly came to me, and I, too, retreated and left silently.

"Xiaoxiao, Sister Xiaolan, I'm talking to this aunt...... Ugh!"

"You're talking to your sister, aren't you?"

“...... Well. ”

"Alright, let's go to the hall, Dad said to start the reasoning show. "Little Landau.

I was not at all interested in Uncle Maori's purely intuitive reasoning, so I went back to my car.

Soon after, the train arrived. Seeing my brother and mother muttering there, I knew that the case had been solved by him, probably trying to find out the culprit as written in the novel. I remember that the method of using a fishing rod to kill people in that novel was very clever, and the only drawback was that there was no way to deal with the evidence of the crime. I remember that my father seemed to find a way to get rid of the incriminating evidence in the end, but since only half of the novel was robbed, the evidence should still be there.

Unlike my brother and my mother, who stood on both sides of the platform as soon as they were separated, I was behind my mother two steps away, always paying attention to everyone's every move around my mother, and I would not allow any accident to happen to my mother! If anyone dares to reach out to my mother, I promise that he will be the last one to fall out!

After a long wait, my nerves tightened every moment! Finally, the sinful hand reached out!

Suddenly, both hands were on the outstretched arm at the same time. I was stunned, but when I looked up, it was actually my father! I took advantage of my father's stunned efforts to quickly bow my head and flash like a crowd.

I'll leave the rest to my father, and I'll walk to the exit with confidence. Ran and Uncle Maori were already waiting there.

The other side

Yukiko, who watched Yusaku Kudo solve the case beautifully, didn't have a happy expression, but kept frowning.

"What's wrong, Yukiko?" Yusaku looked at his wife strangely.

"Now, Yusaku, I see Yuichi! I see Yuichi! The kid is still alive and well!He's not dead!" Yukiko said to Yusaku incoherently with hazy eyes.

"Wait, wait, you speak slowly. Yusaku's voice trembled a little.

So Yukiko recounted all the things on the train, and finally said excitedly: "I knew he wouldn't die! My child was so smart, how could he die?!Great! He's still alive...... He's alive...... Whining. In the end, Yukiko even ignored the people around her, threw herself into Yusaku's arms and cried bitterly.

"Calm down, Yukiko, you won't recognize the wrong person, will you? It can't be a hallucination due to excessive thoughts, right? According to what you said, that boy's pupils are burgundy, different from Yuichi!" Yusaku still couldn't believe it.

"It can't be wrong! It can't be wrong! You don't understand, I'm his mother! I'll recognize him no matter what he becomes! He's my son, it's a piece of flesh on my body!" Yukiko shouted at Yusaku very excitedly.

"I know, I know, don't worry, isn't he with Shinichi now? He can't run away, let's discuss what to do, don't make a ......noise yet," Yusaku gently patted Yukiko's trembling back, soothing his wife's affection, while thinking about the boy with burgundy eyes he had seen earlier.

"Hmmm......"
