"So, in that case last night, the culprit was the one called 'Inaba'? ”

During my lunch break, I swallowed the sushi in my hand while listening to Conan tell me about the process of solving the case at Mr. Sugimori's house last night.

"Well, Mr. Inaba used the recording from that point in time a year ago to forge yesterday's alibi. Conan bowed slightly.

"Minghui-san, you don't know how hard I worked yesterday to cooperate with Conan's performance. Yuan Tai complained incessantly.

"I had a good acting yesterday, and I didn't even see Officer Twilight and Officer Takagi. Mitsuhiko reached out and straightened his collar, his expression a little smug.

"That person is stupid enough, if Mr. Sugimori suddenly left the house yesterday, or if Mr. Sugimori left Tokyo and disappeared in the past year, wouldn't this person have wasted a year in vain. I couldn't help but roll my eyes as I spoke.

In this world, smart people are all the same smart, stupid people, but they can be stupid in all sorts of ways.

"Well, in order to kill someone, I started preparing an alibi a year in advance, which can be regarded as perseverance, although it is very stupid. Conan shrugged approvingly.

"It would be nice if Minghui was here. Ayumi looked at me with some regret.

"It's so good~ It's a pity that I'm not with everyone. Mayu looked at everyone with envy and a little loss.

"Mayu, this kind of thing, can not be experienced, or not experienced well. I reached out and patted Mayu's little head and shoved another piece of sushi into my mouth.

"Ahh Forehead ......"

Oops, this piece of Inari sushi is so big that my throat is choked!

"Give. ”

Conan, who saw my embarrassment, handed me a glass of water with a helpless face.

Knock knock~

"Ah...... Saved, thank you. ”

Pouring water into my stomach in one go, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I said, no matter how much you like sushi, you don't think it's ...... weight" Conan looked at the bento box in front of me with a slightly stiff expression.

"Yes, yes, I've wanted to ask for a long time, Minghui-san, do you like to eat sushi so much?"

Ayumi, who seemed to have been embarrassed to ask for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask me after Conan asked this question.

I glanced at the eight-story bento box on the table in front of me and couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas. ”

To live or to die, that's the question.

Shakespeare 400 years ago, when he wrote this sentence, may not have been as melancholy and sad as I am now.

"Na, if you can't finish eating, can you give me a little?" Motota drooled as he looked at the eel sushi in my lunch box.

"Yes, yes. ”

"Hmph. ”

As soon as I nodded, a soft cold snort came through the air, causing my whole body to freeze there.

"Yuantai, you must know that in this world, there are always some things that you can only bear by yourself. I patted Motota on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

"Huh?" Motota looked at me with a confused expression.

"Huh?" Conan looked back at Xiao Ai's direction suspiciously, then turned his head to look at me again, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes: "Oh~~"

"What?"

To be honest, I hate it when Conan looks at me with such all-knowing eyes.

"Did you get angry with Ash again yesterday?"

"Don't talk nonsense, what doesn't exist, can't be. Ahh "Wow, this caviar sushi is so salty!

"Then why do you eat so much sushi in one sitting?" Conan looked at me with a smirk.

"You care about me, I'm happy. Ahh ”

"Do you have to finish it?" Conan began to mass the sushi box in front of me with great interest: "1, 2, 3......"

If you don't finish this "luxury double life service", you don't have to talk to me.

Xiao Ai's expression when he said this last night is still vivid in my mind.

Alas, forget it, who told me to accidentally forget the little sorrow of the sushi restaurant in order to solve the matter of the dead? This is also my own sin, and I can't blame others.

"Say, what do you count?"

"The number of sushi, there are still 60 left, so come on. Conan said, giving me a thumbs-up look.

"Thunder (you) was (don't) laugh (meaning), why (we) are bored (we) (we) (go) then (look) laughing (look). ”

Although the mouth is choked, but the cruel words, should be put or released, this is called a shame and not a loss.

"Yes, then you eat slowly, there is still half an hour, and the class will start, I hope you can finish eating. Conan patted me on the shoulder and walked away with a gloating expression.

"Minghui-san, don't you really need me to help you eat?" Yuan Tai's saliva was still salivating.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go, leave me alone, heroes are always lonely. Waving at the departing friends, I continued my sushi journey.

..................

"Today we are going to talk about the Kamakura shogunate period in Japan, please turn the book to page XX......"

"Good...... It's good to hold on, it's going to die, it's going to die, it's going to die. ”

In the afternoon, the beautiful sunlight shines obliquely into the classroom through the window, making the originally somewhat dull classroom extremely bright, and the teacher's voice echoes in the classroom, but it cannot awaken my curiosity......

It's good, it's really good.

Sixty-four pieces of sushi made me feel like I was stuffed with rice in my throat now.

I think I may have eaten all the rice in my life on this day.

Is the cramming in the factory similar to what I feel at the moment?

O God, or you will roast me, and don't let me suffer the punishment of "death by death......

Forget it, let's watch the news and distract yourself, maybe it's better.

With such thoughts, I reluctantly pulled my phone out of my pocket, stared at my dead fish eyes, and searched aimlessly on the phone screen.

"Yomiuri Shimbun XX News, this morning, a member of the public found a foreign male corpse in the grass near a building, according to the Metropolitan Police Department, the age of the male corpse is about 35 years old, there are no obvious external injuries on the body, the specific identity and cause of death, please pay attention to the follow-up report......"

Found it...... The police are quite fast.

emmm, I don't know if the person behind the scenes didn't succeed this time, and there will be any other moths......

Hawkers, forget it, anyway, this person's goal doesn't seem to be us, there are no major changes, it's better to wait and see what happens for the time being.

........................

"Ding Dong Ding Dong ~"

"If schools insist on using Turkish marches as bells for classes and schools, it will only destroy young people's interest in classical music. ”

"There are so many people who like to listen to music, and it's nothing less than you. ”

After school, just as I was muttering and complaining while packing up my things, Xiao Wai came over and looked at me mockingly.

"Why? I ate all the sushi you commanded. You're not going to let me eat the box too, are you?" I looked at Xiao Ai warily.

"Neurotic, am I so unreasonable. Xiao Ai glanced at me coquettishly, and stretched out his hand to hand me something: "Obviously, you released my pigeon first, why do you talk about it now, as if I am sorry for you?" ”

"What?"

"Poison, do you want to eat it?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you gave it to me, and I'll eat the poison too. I smiled, took the pill, tilted my head and swallowed it.

Needless to say, I also know that this must be a medicine to help digestion, Xiao Wai, this person, has always been cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

"Like an idiot. Xiao Ai glanced at me angrily.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of medicine, I want to ask you one thing, Xiao Ai. ”

On the way out of school, I watched Conan and a group of children running to the park to play football, and casually asked the little mourning beside me.

"What?"

"Is there any medicine that can make a healthy person die of a heart attack?"

"Yes, not only that, but there are many more. Xiao Wai nodded nonchalantly.

"So what if it's easy to buy, has a time to control the seizure, and makes it difficult for people to notice?"

"What? Why don't you say that there is a way for people to disappear out of thin air?"

Xiao Ai glanced at me, I don't know if it was because of anger or depression, and her fair little face was slightly red.

"I remember when you were studying in the United States, you published a paper on pharmacology, right?

I folded my hands and looked at Xiao Ai with flattery.

"Hmph~Hmph! Since you asked so sincerely, I will think about it with compassion......"

Xiao Ai's face was a little redder, her eyes slightly avoided my gaze, and her mouth was mumbled in a mess.

"Mmmm, I know that Xiao Ai is the most powerful. ”

"Knowing that I am good, you will release my pigeons...... This kind of thing you are talking about, if you use medicine, it is not impossible to do it. Xiao Ai complained to me dissatisfied, and then began to think seriously.

The small eyebrows, like two small insects, arched slightly, rubbed together, extremely cute.

"Ah, I figured it out. After thinking for a while, Xiao Wai suddenly exclaimed.

"Really, what is it?" I was overjoyed.

"If you want me to tell you, it's fine, unless...... Unless ......"

Xiao Ai's voice became smaller and smaller, and I looked at it, and it turned out that at some point, Xiao Ai's face was already red, her eyes were scattered, as if she was drunk, and she began to shake on the ground.

"Little mourning!"

I hurriedly went up, grabbed Xiao Ai's body, and reached out to her forehead.

It's hot in the hand, and it's obvious that it's a fever.

Damn, if it's uncomfortable, just say it earlier!

I couldn't help but curse secretly, and as soon as I turned around, I picked up Xiao Ai, and began to run to the doctor's house.

Xiao Ai's little body lay on my back, like a little quail.

Small, soft, and trembling slightly.

The heat passed through her shirt and to my back like a piece of hot coal.

"You, let me, and you...... Together, don't leave me behind...... I'll just ...... I'll just ...... Tell you, hehe. ”

In just a few minutes, Xiao Ai has already begun to talk nonsense.

"Don't talk, I'll take you back to the doctor's house for healing. I gasped slightly as I strode towards the doctor's house.

"You ...... first Answer...... Promise ......"

Xiao Ai's little mouth, like a little goldfish, in my ears, one by one, the fiery breath sprayed directly into my ears, making my heart burn.

"I promise, I promise everything, don't talk yet, I beg you, I beg you. ”

Xiao Ai's condition deteriorated much faster and faster than I had imagined.

I don't know if it's a cold or something else, from the moment our body gets smaller, our body is not normal, even if it's a cold, it can kill us.

I just hope that Xiao Wai will be okay now.

Don't do anything, otherwise, otherwise......

"Boom !!"

"Doctor!! Doctor!!"

When the three-minute walk was finally over, I kicked open the door of the doctor's house and yelled loudly into the house!

"Oh, Xiaohui, what's wrong with you?" the doctor walked out of the room with a cup of coffee in his hand, looking at me with a stunned expression.

"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai is sick! You can show her quickly!" I strode up with Xiao Ai on my back, my feet were weak, and I almost knelt on the ground.

"I know, don't worry, I'll see the situation first. The doctor grabbed my body and said with a serious expression, "You carry Xiao Ai to the basement first." ”

"Good. ”

Ten minutes later......

"Doctor, mourn her ......"

"It's not a big problem, don't rush. The doctor, who had just finished drinking the medicine for Xiao Ai, wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled at me: "I guess it's because the backlog of pressure has been too great recently, and I'm too tired, but when I was blown by the cold wind, I suddenly couldn't hold on." ”

"Then her illness is ......"

"It's just a cold, a cold. ”

"Then will she ......?"

"Xiaohui, calm down!" Dr. Asa shouted at me in a rare way, causing me to froze for a moment.

“...... I'm sorry, Dr. Asasa, but I was too impulsive. ”

"It's okay, I understand. Dr. Asa took a sip of coffee and looked at Xiao Ai, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, "Let her sleep well, she has been so tired lately." ”

“...... Well. ”

Looking at Xiao Ai's pretty face, I didn't know what to say.

Why is she tired, why is she anxious, why is she stressed? I know all too well.

It's all my bad that makes Xiao Ai like this.

"Doctor, can you help me make a bunk here?" I looked up at Dr. Asa and smiled slightly, "I want to disturb you here for a few days, the school, so please help me ask for leave." ”

........................

"Xiaohui, I'll put the porridge here first, if you have anything, remember to tell me!"

Xiaolan smiled softly at me as she untied her apron.

"Got it, Sister Xiaolan, thank you. ”

"Really, I'm so polite to me, then I'll go first, the garden is still waiting for me. Conan too, don't go back too late. Lan tapped my forehead lightly, waved her hand and walked out.

"You're really comfortable, you're here every day, and I'm going to send you notes every day. Conan watched Ran leave, muttering as he rummaged through his bag.

"Well, I'm sorry. ”

"Huh, when did you become so honest?" Conan looked at me in amazement.

That day, Xiao Ai suddenly fell ill...... I was terrified. As soon as I remembered the scene three days ago, I was terrified: "I really can't think that if Xiao Wai really ......"

"Gray Plains is much harder than your life. Conan interrupted me and gave me a blank look: "You can't die, how can anything happen to her?"

"Well, I hope so. ”

"Yo, Shinichi, you're here too. Dr. Asa walked in from outside with a glass of juice in his hand.

"Good evening, Doctor, Gray Yuan is not staring at you, you are presumptuous again, you dare to drink high-sweet juice. Conan looked at Dr. Asa amusedly, teasingly.

"Ahahahaha~ Don't talk about this. Dr. Asa laughed twice and turned to look at me, "Xiaohui, can you do me a favor?"

"Hmm, what's the deal?" I said, looking up at Dr. Asasa.

"That's right, I had an old friend before, who once gave me a Chinese medicine prescription to nourish my body, which is quite suitable for Xiao Ai to use to regulate my body now, can you go to the pharmacy and help me get the medicine back?"

"No problem. "I glanced at Xiao Ai, after three days of recuperation, Xiao Ai's fever has subsided, and I woke up twice in the middle, but my body is still a little weak, Dr. Asasa This prescription is just right.

"Dr. Asasa, is there a Chinese medicine store around here?" I asked, standing up and speaking to Dr. Asasa.

"Oh, it's at XX Street, about an hour or so from here. ”

"OK, I see, then I'll go, Conan, you can help me take care of Xiao Ai. I nodded, said a word to Conan, and walked out.

"Are you waiting for dinner?" asked Conan, behind my back.

"Don't wait for me, you eat first......"

..................

Huh, where is this store......

After a long time, as I got closer and closer to the address Dr. Asa had given me, I finally realized that the pharmacy was only one street away from the building where the housekeeping company I had visited a few days ago.

That's a coincidence......

"Grandpa, here!" I waved vigorously at the housekeeper downstairs.

Since we're already here, let's take a look at the company's situation by the way.

"Grandpa Caomu, how are the company's accounts?" I asked the housekeeper in the café.

"The integration is basically over, and from this week, the company can officially start running. The grass and wood butler bowed his head slightly to me and reported.

"Very well," I nodded, and then asked, "Is there anything else you have been doing lately about that incident a few days ago?"

"The situation ......" the grass and wood butler muttered for a moment, "but there are no more deaths, and there are no other cases, just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that recently, there seem to be a lot more people in the neighborhood than before......"

"Well, don't act rashly, don't let the people under your hands get close to the company, and see what this group of people wants to do. ”

"Okay, young master. ”

Separated from the housekeeper, I took my medicine bag and walked towards the road.

It's all around the office, and taxis don't come in, so I have to walk through here and walk to the side of the road.

However, just as I was about to cross the road between the two office buildings and walk to the opposite side of the road, I was suddenly blocked by more than a dozen strong men in suits and sunglasses.

"Oh~~ What the grass and wood steward said, there have been a lot of people in the neighborhood recently, and they are talking about you~" I looked at a few people with a smile.

"Little brother, big brother knows that there is a fun place, big brother will take you to play, okay?" said a leading young man to me with a chuckle.

There are a lot of people, and they are equipped with guns, so if you fight them here and kill them, even if you run out, it will not be worth it.

Forget it, let's see what they want to do.

Having made up my mind, I took a deep breath and put down the medicine bag in my hand.

"Okay, okay, I like to play the most! Big brother, let's go!"
