Chapter 33: Suspicion
The day after the cherry blossom viewing, my father and mother boarded a plane to England, and I returned to the Maori detective agency. Thinking of my parents' repeated emphasis before leaving, "I must call once a week!", I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I will have to be busy in the future.
"I'm back. I opened the door with my bag on my back and walked into the Maori Detective Agency, where Uncle Maori was still drinking beer and watching Yoko's video drunkenly, as I expected.
"Little ghost, you're back, welcome, oh~~ hahaha......" Uncle Maori laughed out loud with his tongue wide and looked completely drunk.
"Really, Dad, you also learn to control yourself, okay, if you do this, when will Mom come back......" Xiaolan, who came out of the kitchen, saw Uncle Maori's drunken appearance, first frowned and complained to Uncle Maori dissatisfied, and then turned to me and smiled: "Ah, Xiaohui, welcome back, I've been waiting for you for a long time, in order to welcome you, Sister Xiaolan specially made your favorite French steak today!"
"Really?!You're so nice!Sister Xiaolan!" I exclaimed in surprise.
"Well, then put down your schoolbag now and hurry up and go to homework, you can eat after finishing your homework!" Xiaolan stepped forward and touched my head with a smile, then turned to Conan next to me and said silently: "Conan, you too." β
"Hmm!" I smiled and nodded. Anyway, have I had a tendency to be ** recently, I feel like I'm getting used to being a child......
"Hey, have you seen enough, is there anything strange about me?" When I walked to the room and closed the door, I finally couldn't help but explode, this kid was like taking the wrong medicine all day, he didn't say a word, just stared at me with a pair of eyes, which made me feel not ordinarily stressed.
"It's nothing," Conan said after staring at me for a long time, "I suddenly feel like you're a person...... Conan's eyes were full of doubt.
"Who is it? You can't mistake me for a well-known child star, I know I'm very charming, but I'll be embarrassed if you praise me so directly......" Hearing Conan's words, my heart suddenly burst out, and I pretended to laugh lightly, intentionally or unintentionally taking Conan's meaning in a crooked way. This guy can't see through my real body......
"The way you played the violin yesterday was very similar to that person......" Conan said to himself, ignoring my words.
"There are so many people in the world who can play the violin, and the posture is the same, it must have been your delusion yesterday......" I staggered Conan's skeptical gaze and said with a dry smile.
"I haven't said who that person is, why are you so eager to deny it?" Conan's gaze became more and more oppressive.
"Because I'm me, I don't like to be mistaken for someone else, so don't say anything to me in the future, I hate it, I hate it!" I said with a frown, feigned disgust.
"I remember Gray Plains saying that you lost your memory when you were a child?" Conan asked me questioningly.
"Does this have anything to do with you?" I refused to cooperate with Conan's question, and I must not let him see the hindrance.
"And you have been a genius since you were a child, proficient in many Chinese?
"I don't know!"
"And you're particularly fond of Chinese food?"
"You want to take care of it?!"
"And you really hate things that are purely rational?"
"You're so annoying!" Feeling that Conan's gaze was getting stronger and stronger, I began to get a little anxious, my brother's observation was too strong.
"I feel more and more like that person......" Conan stared at me, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly in a terrified arc. Doesn't it feel good......
"Xiaohui! Conan! came out to eat!" Just as I was facing Conan's knife-sharp gaze and fidgeting, Xiaolan's voice came in from outside.
"Yes, here we are. I answered with a loud voice. Xiaolan, you are really an angel......
"I don't care what you want to do, anyway, I'm going to eat now, and it's up to you if you can't go out. I stood up and whispered to Conan, and walked outside, for I could not stay in this room for a moment, and the old brother's gaze made me feel as uncomfortable as a thorn in my back.
"You just mind your own business. Conan replied absentmindedly, and followed me step by step, his eyes still refusing to let me go.
"Wow! It's so fragrant, Sister Xiaolan, your craftsmanship is simply amazing!" When I came to the dining table, I looked at the exquisite food on the table, and pretended to exaggerate my praise, but in fact, it was to distract my brother, but unfortunately it didn't seem to be successful.
"Yes, if you like it, hehe. Listening to my words, Xiaolan smiled softly.
"Conan, sit down too, what are you doing there?" asked Conan strangely, staring at my every move.
"Oh, no, it's nothing, just think about it for a while, hehe. Conan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and sat down next to me.
"Uh, it's so fragrant! Oh! Lan! You've made a steak! You're such a good daughter of Daddy......" Uncle Maori, who had been drinking unconscious, asked the smell of the steak, but miraculously resurrected again, and jumped to the dinner table at once, moving so quickly that it didn't look like a human.
"Dad, pay attention to etiquette at the dinner table!" Xiaolan scolded Uncle Maori dissatisfiedly, but was naturally ignored by Uncle Maori, and Xiaolan could only sigh helplessly, there was nothing she could do about her father.
"I'm moving!" the four prayed in unison, and dinner officially began.
"Xiaohui, eat a little ginger, it's just spring recently, it's cold, it's easy to catch a cold, eat a little ginger to dispel the cold." Conan smiled and slipped a large slice of ginger into my bowl, then stared at me with a pair of eyes to see how I reacted.
This is the first time since I came to this house that Conan has taken the initiative to care about me, although his intentions are not very good. I sighed, smiled and thanked Conan, and calmly ate the ginger into my mouth. Although I was extremely disgusted with ginger when I was a child, when I was on a mission, in order to survive, I didn't even frown at eating raw meat and drinking raw blood.
Seeing that I didn't react when I ate ginger, Conan frowned, and said, "By the way, Dr. Asa has an uncle who has been dead for many years, leaving behind an uninhabited villa, which is said to contain treasures! After speaking, he looked at me expectantly.
"No!" I refused, as I ate the steak, my eyes closed, and very decisively. So zealous, there must be a conspiracy.
"Go ahead, Ayumi and they'll all go. Conan said in the heart of immortality.
"No, anyway, the so-called treasure is probably just a little toy that the doctor bought for the children. I pursed my lips and said disdainfully, continuing to eat the steak.
"Uh, okay, forget it if you don't go," Conan choked on me, sighed, and looked like he was finally dead, just when I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but I heard Conan say as if inadvertently: "Alas, it doesn't matter if you don't go, although there are three girls in Gray Plain, Ayumi and Mayu, but the boys are just three, even if there is some mechanism, those little ghosts should be able to protect the girls' thoughtfulness, especially Gray Yuan and Mayu......"
β...... Well, I'll go. "Count you ruthless......
"Great, Conan. Seeing that I agreed, Xiaolan was also very happy next to her, but unfortunately she didn't know Conan's intentions at all.
Conan was relieved to see that I had finally agreed, but when he put down his mind and turned his gaze to the dining table to start munching, Conan suddenly stared at him and let out a terrible scream: "My steak!! "It turns out that when he was trying his best to calculate me, the things on the dinner table had already been divided between me and Uncle Maori......
Anyway, I have practiced kendo and fighting, and Uncle Maori is a master of judo, so our techniques can be said to come and go like the wind and fast as lightning, so things like this today seem to be common. Alas, sad baby, your life is the embodiment of the cup......
After eating, Uncle Maori fell asleep with his head back, drooling so much that people couldn't bear to look at it, and Xiaolan went to the kitchen to clean up with a little song, looking quite in a good mood, while Conan and I stayed in the living room to watch TV.
"By the way, just finished eating, let's go take a shower together in a while, I sweated a lot today, and it's very uncomfortable to stick to my body, Xiaohui, are you too?" Conan said to me with a smile, no matter how you look at it, your innocent smile is just a lively and cute child.
"No, I just washed it yesterday, and I didn't move much today, and I didn't sweat a lot, so I won't wash it. Conan suddenly upgraded his address to me from "you guy" to "Fai", which made me feel unusually awkward. But man, I already know that I have a birthmark on my back, and if you are a step too late, I will never let you see my naked back.
"Alas, I've thought about it, whether you are that person or not, we should be closer and closer, unite, help each other, and fight the organization together, why do you refuse to accept my kindness. Conan said with a gloomy expression.
"It's okay to help each other, but it's okay to be closer and closer. I shook my head. Just kidding, get close to you? I don't know when I sold my ancestors. Well, even though my ancestors are Conan's ancestors......
"Forget it, since you say that, I can't help it. Conan stood up with a regretful face and said to me, "You can watch TV here, I'll go and help Sister Xiaolan." β
When did Conan become so diligent?, I looked at Conan's back as he walked towards the kitchen. But after a while, I understood Conan's sinister intentions......
"Ahh
Damn! I leaped, narrowly avoiding the large expanse of water beyond the limits of humanity.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was going to help Sister Xiaolan wipe the floor, but the basin was too heavy, and I accidentally slipped my foot......" Conan scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly at me, the look of regret in his eyes flashed......
The living room is so big, you don't slip anywhere, but you just come to me and slide it? Don't you just want to find a reason to rip off my shirt and see if I have a birthmark on my back? I glanced at Conan with disdain, and did not expose his little tricks, and said lightly: "Oh, it doesn't matter, be careful next time." β
"Ah, I see. Conan smiled at me embarrassedly and said, "I'll go get a rag and wipe the water off the floor......," Conan said and turned around again and went to the kitchen. After a while, Conan returned to the living room with a rag as black as the bottom of a pot.
Hey, that rag of yours is only getting darker and darker, isn't it?Did you think of any trick to deal with me?I watched warily as Conan approached me step by step.
"Ah, there's water on the ground, it's so slippery!" As soon as he stepped on a little water, Conan pounced in my direction in an eye-popping and exaggerated pose, and shouted in a panicked voice, "Get out of the way, Xiaohui!"
Feed...... Although you shouted out of your mouth, but your posture has no room for me to dodge, you are a little sincere, okay...... I watched helplessly as Conan looked like a roc spreading his wings, Conan's arms with all his strength were almost sealed in the direction of dodging, and his face was still heroic, like a martyr who wanted to die with the enemy......
Damn! I'll flash again! Although the environment created by Conan can be called a desperate situation, we can also be resurrected at a critical moment! I got up and slammed my body through the gap under Conan's arm.
"Bang~!ah!" and the enemy died together, Conan-sanctity jumped into the puddle in a large font without hesitation, and let out a scream of sadness for those who saw it and tears for those who heard it......!
"Ahh
Damn! Come on! I'll flash again! When I turned around, I saw that the black rag was coming at me like lightning, and it seemed that I would not give up until it hit me. I can already see Conan's treacherous smile...... I turned, spun around, and kicked the rag with a whip leg on my left leg!
"Oops!" Conan didn't even have time to change the expression on his face from smug to horrified, and his whole face was tightly covered by the rag...... Conan grabbed the void twice with trembling hands, and finally hung down weakly......
Conan, killed......
With Conan's powerful protagonist aura,Finally, it is inevitable to die.,He used to be a god of death and always brought death to others.,This time he finally ushered in his own demise.,It's really a cycle of cause and effect.,Retribution is unpleasant.,Good, good...... I looked at Conan's dead figure with pity and mourned silently......
"You two ......" Just as I was looking at the hapless Conan with a gloating expression, I suddenly remembered Xiaolan's faint voice behind me. We were startled, and when we turned around, we saw Xiaolan standing behind us with her head down, the bangs on her head hanging down to cover her eyes, and I couldn't see her expression clearly, but the black gas rolling on her body could be seen as long as she wasn't a fool......
I came back to my senses and looked at the messy and miserable living room, and in an instant I understood the reason for the blackening of Xiaolan.
"Uh, Sister Xiaolan, that ......" I waved my hands in a panic, trying to defend a few words, and opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say......
"You two are all going to clean up the living room for me tonight!Don't go to bed until you're done!Got it!" Xiaolan yelled at Conan and Conan when she looked up. The sky-high aura sent the shivers down my sleeve and Conan.
"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Conan and I saluted.
......
The next morning, Conan and I, one as usual and the other as unprecedented, were both of us late without exception......
"Go outside and stand outside, and you'll be standing outside until you come in!" said the math teacher with a black line on his face.
It's unfortunate to say, if the first class in the morning is a Chinese class taught by Mr. Kobayashi, in that case, at most, it will educate us, not punish us. Alas, these days with Conan, my luck has not been good. I leaned against the wall outside the classroom and sighed in frustration.
"Well, that's good, it's a rare experience. Conan was leaning his back against the wall, his head resting on his arm, and he looked quite at ease.
"Who's thanks to this?!" I glared at Conan dissatisfied, I had been busy until two o'clock in the morning last night, and if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been too late...... Ahem, Conan won't be late with me, and the teacher won't be so angry, after all, I'm already a habitual offender, and the teacher has long been too lazy to punish me, so I actually suffered on behalf of Conan this time, well, it's all Conan's fault, I'm a sensible good boy. After thinking about it like this, my heart felt a lot more comfortable.
"Well, don't care about this kind of trivial matter......"
"No, I care about ......"
"Actually, I wanted this when I was a kid......" Conan said leisurely, looking up at the white clouds floating outside the window.
"Huh?" I looked at Conan puzzled.
"When I was a child, I always wanted to go to school with him, study together, skip classes together, and be punished together...... Unfortunately, he is lazy by nature and extremely averse to school, and he is quite right, to go to such a normal school is just a waste of his time......" Conan's tone was full of nostalgia. I already know who he's talking about......
"He's really genius, he's very wicked, we're obviously brothers, but I'm not as good as him at all, when I was still struggling to play football with my kindergarten friends and lose, he was already studying university courses on his own, and when I was complacent about getting the first place in my elementary school exams, he had already obtained a master's degree from the University of Tokyo......"
"yes, that's amazing......" I replied absentmindedly.
"He can play the piano, he can play the violin, he can speak English, he can speak French, he can reason, he can comment...... He seemed to be omnipotent, and I always seemed so naΓ―ve in front of him, and I always tried to keep up with him, but ironically, I couldn't even see his back......"
"yes...... "I never knew I would put so much pressure on my brother.
"Sometimes I even resent God, why are we obviously brothers, but our qualifications are one in the sky and one in the earth, and I am surprised that it is so ......"
"You hate that man, don't you?" I asked Conan softly. I feel a little gloomy in my heart, I owe a lot to my brother......
"No! not at all!" To my surprise, Conan very decisively dismissed my doubts: "Not only do I not resent him, but I am grateful to him, it is his existence that has always inspired me to move forward, and he has taught me a lot of things, including reasoning, and violin ......" The smile on Conan's face was very bright.
"Yes...... I don't know why, but looking at Conan's smile, my heart suddenly lightened a lot.
"yes, so I suddenly feel like you really have a lot in common with him now......" Conan suddenly turned to look at me, his eyes starting to become dangerous again.
"It's not surprising that there are so many people in this world who look alike......" I said indifferently.
"Let's not talk about this, when class ends in a while, we have to go to the teacher's office to admit our mistakes to the teacher, so let's write a review. Seeing that I didn't admit it, Conan suddenly changed the topic and said with a smile.
"Yes......" I also smiled and responded, but in my heart I was secretly vigilant, now Conan's phenomenon is a typical Zhizi suspicious neighbor, when I don't usually suspect it, it feels normal to see everything, but once I suspect it, I feel suspicious when I look at everything, and the originally irrelevant things will also be linked and similar by him, if this continues, my identity will be exposed by him sooner or later, and I must find a way......
Bell...... Class is over......
