Since Mayu came to us, our lives have changed a little bit, and the so-called "Junior Detective Group" has naturally increased its staff, and Kojima Mototai has also had an additional subordinate, which is gratifying, gratifying.

Mayu is the same as Xiao Ai, he doesn't talk a lot, but his personality is completely different from Xiao Ai. Different from Xiao Ai's cold and awe-inspiring temperament, Mayu's taciturn is more of a kind of gentleness and demure, a few days have passed, with the interpolation of everyone together, the fear of the unfamiliar environment has gradually disappeared a lot, and the grief for the loss of loved ones has gradually decreased, driven by the lively and active Ayumi and them, the smile on Mayu's face has become more and more. Sometimes I can't help but think that if this child met a few of us at a critical moment, if she had stayed in her hometown, she might or may not have been depressed. It is worth mentioning that although Zhenyu is still young, she is surprisingly sensible, not only takes care of her own affairs in an orderly manner, and does not let others worry about her at all, but also likes to help and take care of others, and often brings us bento to eat, and her skills are very good, and she has the rudiments of a virtuous wife.

For Mayu, Xiao Ai is not very jealous now, and it is probably because of the same appearance. Xiao Ai is always inseparable from her, taking care of her everywhere, probably seeing her own shadow in her, the real reason for the new school, just like the Zhibao who joined the organization at the beginning of the year, helpless and lonely. Seeing that Mayu and Xiao Ai are like twin sisters now, talking and laughing on the side, I can't help but warm my heart.

School life may be varied for others, but for me, the difference is just whether you sleep until school or two nights a day. For example, now, I have been woken up by a Chinese teacher who can't bear it, so the result of the guide is that I have to sleep twice today.

"Edogawa-san......" the Chinese teacher spoke.

"Teacher?" Conan raised his hand to the side.

"What's the matter?"

"Can you call him 'Minghui'? If you call him that, others will mistake him for mine. Conan said with a black line on his face. I said brother, do you have such a brother, spit out your brother's groove at a critical moment.

"Really?" Hearing this, the teacher nodded quite understandingly, turned to me and said, "So, Minghui, if I'm not mistaken, you've been sleeping since the beginning of school, can you tell me that in this spring when everything is recovering, when do you plan to study with the same spirit as other students?"

"Spring is not a day for reading," I yawned and said, "It's just time to sleep in the scorching summer, mosquitoes and snow in autumn, and it's ............ to pack your schoolbag for the New Year."

Teacher: "......"

My classmates are no longer surprised by the war between me and my teacher, and they still do what they should do. Speaking of the culture of the Celestial Empire, it is really a broad spirit, you see, the teachers have already admired the "five-body throwing to the ground", well, it is the first time to see such a standard flat sand and falling geese when you grow so big......

In a blink of an eye, it was noon, thanks to the blessing of the Chinese teacher, I was able to eat lunch today, and the six tables were put together, so the small banquet took shape.

"Motota is still eel rice today......" Mitsuhiko said as he looked at Motota's lunch box and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Moto-tai-kun likes eels very much!" Ayumi laughed too.

"Well, eel is the ultimate food in the universe! Godzilla will have more power if he eats eel!" Motota held his chopsticks tightly and looked into the distance. I'm too lazy to complain.

"This ...... I'll give it to you. "Just as I was speechless as I looked at Motota's shape, a thin voice came.

When I looked at it, I saw Mayu put her own fried chicken in her lunch box. "This, how embarrassing is this...... I hurriedly waved my hand again and again, and said, "I don't need it......" At the same time, I peeked at Xiao Ai, only to see Xiao Ai eating the lunch box quietly, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was enjoying the deliciousness of the food. Isn't she angry?

"Crunch, crunch!" I don't know what Xiao Ai ate, and a creepy sound came out of his mouth, but his face was still so calm, and even the expression of enjoyment did not change. Are you still angry...... I secretly wiped a cold sweat.

"By the way, Shinichi's brother's parents came back and said they were going to invite us to their house. Conan, who was eating, suddenly spoke.

Mom and Dad are back?!When I heard this, my heart suddenly jumped! Why didn't I know?

"Eh, Shinichi's parents, but we don't know them, why did they invite us to play?" Ayumi wondered.

"I don't know ......," Conan tugged at the corners of his mouth, and there was confusion in his eyes.

"Go, go, that's Shinichi's home! Maybe I'll meet Shinichi's brother who is a detective!" Mitsuhiko said excitedly.

That's impossible. I glanced at Conan, who was smiling dryly, and thought.

"Will my uncle and aunt make us delicious snacks, will they leave us to eat?"

"Can I not go?" The thought of facing my parents made me feel a little empty.

"No!!" Ayumi, Motota and Mitsuhiko said in unison.

"Minghui wants to break away from the group and act alone again, this time it will definitely not work!" Ayumi grabbed my arm and raised her eyebrows. I looked at Xiao Ai as if asking for help, but now Xiao Ai didn't know when to take out a set of tea sets, and sipped tea there leisurely, without saying a word. I turned my head to Mayu again, and if anyone objected, I had a reason, but I looked at Mayu's little hand holding the hem of my clothes...... Forget it.

"Okay, I'll go. I sighed.

Conan also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, because his mother had repeatedly emphasized to him that anyone could not come, but he must pull Xiaohui over.

Is there anything special about him? Makes his parents care so much! Conan looked at the laughing child in front of him suspiciously.

As soon as it was time for school to end, I sighed and grabbed my bag appointedly. Let's go, it's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it.

"Minghui-san, hurry up, hurry up!" Ayumi greeted me at the door.

"It's ~~...... here," I replied weakly.

Kudo house, my parents are inside...... I looked at the door number and clenched my fists.

"Ding Dong!" Conan stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and the voice that made me think about it came from the intercom again: "Who are you?"

"Auntie, I'm Conan, I'm here with my friends. Conan stepped forward.

"Allah, Conan, you're here, wait a minute, Auntie will come out soon. "Mom's surprised voice came over the intercom.

Sure enough, I still couldn't restrain myself, I looked at my slightly trembling body, smiled bitterly, and said to Conan: "I'm sorry, I'm suddenly unwell, so I'll go first." After speaking, without waiting for them to reflect, he turned around and walked out.

"Wait a minute!" a hurried, slightly trembling voice stopped me from leaving.

All at once my feet stopped, and I couldn't move a single step. But I didn't dare to turn around, I didn't dare to face that familiar and kind face, I just froze there and didn't move.

"I just came, why do you have to leave, is it because Auntie is not good at greeting you and makes you annoyed?"

"That's it, it's very rude for you to do this, Minghui, come, let's go in together. At that moment, Ayumi ran up and pulled me back. I could only turn around helplessly, and my mother's figure came into my eyes.

I saw that my mother is still so beautiful and moving, delicate melon seed face, fair skin, big eyes, exquisite figure, compared with ten years ago, my mother has not changed much, but the charm has become more irresistible, and the years do not seem to have left traces on my mother's body.

"Then ...... Sorry for your help. I walked up to my mother, barely restrained my feelings, bowed and said lightly. When I walked in, my mother's face was covered with a thin layer of light makeup, and she looked carefully dressed, but despite the eye shadow and powder, she still couldn't hide her haggard and pale face and the faint redness and swelling on her eyes.

"No trouble, no trouble!" The old mother, who has always been known for her boldness and cheerfulness, waved her hands in a panic at this time, like a little girl at a loss.

"Auntie, let everyone in, I really want to eat the snacks you made!" Conan suddenly interjected. He always felt that something was wrong between the two, as if they had known each other a long time ago. Xiao Ai glanced at me and my mother, but didn't speak, but the other children didn't feel anything.

"Ah, yes, yes, let's stop standing here, let's get inside, Auntie is going to prepare food for you!" said to the old mother, who was awakened by Conan, and suddenly reacted to us.

This reaction...... Did you recognize my identity? I looked at my mother suspiciously.

"Excuse me!" said the children, taking off their shoes and entering the house.

"Welcome, children. "As soon as we entered the house, my dad greeted us. Compared with ten years ago, my father seems more calm and measured, his eyes are calm, his manners are elegant, and he smiles slightly, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, full of an elegant middle-aged male charm.

"You...... Hello, excuse me. "When I first met, my father's posture of being a successful person at first glance made the children feel quite restrained.

"Sa, you're welcome, even though it's good to treat this place as your home, although we haven't met before, Shinichi often mentions you in front of us, Ayumi, Motota, Mitsuhiko, Xiao Ai, Mayu, and...... Xiaohui. When talking about me, my father looked at me deeply, and that kind of wise eyes seemed to have insight into my qiē in an instant, so that my secrets were nowhere to hide. I couldn't help but avoid his gaze and lower my head.

"Is it, does Shinichi often talk to you about us?" Ayumi asked her dad with a starry eye. At the mention of Shinichi, the children's tense nerves couldn't help but relax, and the child's curious nature began to show.

"Yes, Shinichi said that you are all very promising children! Dad pointed to the sand on the side and smiled.

"Thank you. Ha! I was praised! I was praised by the detective!" Hearing that I was praised by my idol, several children couldn't help but feel a little excited. I was sitting on the sand, and I felt like I was on pins and needles, and I always felt like someone was watching me. Is it a delusion?

"Ah, what a high-grade sand, my mother and I went to the mall a few days ago and saw this kind of sand, it's millions!" said Yuantai as he looked at the sand beside him.

Touching the notch on the wooden sand handrail, I couldn't help but feel a faint sense of intimacy in my heart, the family still hasn't changed at all, this nick was still carved when I was a child when I was a prank.

Dad and the children talked happily, with Dad's ability, it was too simple to coax a few children to be happy. The children gradually lost their sense of restraint.

"Uncle, how did you cultivate someone as powerful as Brother Shinichi? Brother Shinichi is so good at solving cases, we really worship him, how can we become such a powerful person as him? Sue us, uncle. Mitsuhiko looked at his father with a look of curiosity. A few children such as Ayumi and Yuanta next to him also nodded in agreement.

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated......" Conan scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"I didn't say you, why are you blushing?" the disdainful gazes of several children choked Conan there.

"Shinichi's stinky boy isn't really a big deal," Dad waved his hand disapprovingly, "You guys are much smarter than Shinichi when you were a kid, and when it comes to being smarter, I have a son who is much smarter than Shinichi." ”

"Huh, really? Does Shinichi still have an older brother? Is there anyone smarter than Shinichi?What's his name, can you let us meet?" Mitsuhiko and Motota also coaxed, and even Xiao Ai and Mayu, who had been drinking tea silently on the side, couldn't help but look over.

"Yes, his name is Yuichi Kudo, but unfortunately, he is not at home now, he has gone to a long distance, and it will take a long time to come back. As he spoke, my father glanced in my direction, intentionally or unintentionally, but no one showed up.

I turned my head uncomfortably, but suddenly I appeared, on the small cabinet in the corner of the sand, and at some point, there was a photo! It was a family photo, in the dim daylight, a couple sat there smiling with a cute boy of about five years old in their arms, the wife was virtuous and beautiful, the husband was handsome and elegant, and the two children were carved in pink and jade, smart and lovely, the atmosphere in the photo was warm and peaceful, but the child in the wife's arms was slightly dazed and indifferent eyes were a little out of place with the atmosphere of the whole photo.

Isn't this a family photo I took when I was five years old? It wasn't here. After looking at my parents, I was indeed aware of my identity. Did they notice it during the Big Dipper incident? But since they didn't come to me directly, it means that they still have doubts about my identity, that is, is it to test me by inviting the children to play at home this time?

"Ah, is this your family photo? Can I take a look?" noticing the change in my eyes, Xiao Ai suddenly pointed to the photo on the side.

"Absolutely. Dad smiled and reached out to take the photo and handed it to her: "Yuyi went out at a very young age, this is the only family photo in our family." ”

Xiao Ai carefully looked at the photo, touched the cheek of the child in the photo little by little with her hand, suddenly her pupils shrank, her complexion changed, she glanced at me, but quietly handed the photo to the other children who wanted to see it, and didn't say anything.

"Come, children, let's have a delicious snack. At this time, my mother brought over a large tea tray full of all kinds of snacks. When I saw the style of the dim sum, my eyes couldn't help but change again!

"Thank you, Auntie!, what is this?" the children pounced excitedly, and Motota asked his mother, pointing to a cuboid green pastry.

"This is called mung bean cake, it is a kind of Chinese pastry, it is delicious!" said to Yuan Tai with a smile.

"What about this one?" Ayumi asked, pointing to another yellow cake.

"It's called pumpkin pie, and it's also a delicious Chinese pastry!"

Mung bean cake, pumpkin pie, almond cake, sakima...... I looked at them one by one, and they were all pastries that I loved when I was a kid. I couldn't help but look up at my mother, and my mother's red eyes were full of anticipation that bordered on pleading. My heart trembled, and I couldn't help but reach out and put a piece of mung bean cake in my mouth.

"What do you think, little ...... Xiaohui?" Mom looked at me expectantly.

"Well, it's sweet and delicious. I smiled at my mother and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

"No trouble, no trouble, as long as you want to eat, I can make it for you at any time, you can come and play often in the future, okay?" Mom waved her hand hurriedly, looking at me with a gaze full of pleading. It seems that my mother has already recognized my identity.

"Can you really come to eat pastries often, Auntie?" Hearing her mother's words, Yuantai's eyes lit up and said, "These Chinese pastries are delicious, completely different from those in Japan." ”

"That's it!" the rest of the children nodded in agreement, and ate happily.

"Of course, when you come in the future, I will make it for you to eat. Mom reached out and touched Ayumi's head and said with a smile, but her eyes were looking at me.

"Speaking of which, Xiaohui, where do you live?" Dad suddenly turned the topic to me.

"Fukuoka Prefecture. I.

"Oh, that's far away, wouldn't it be inconvenient to go to school? Dad asked me.

"No, I'm staying at Sister Xiaolan's house now. I shook my head.

"Well, what about your parents?" asked Dad again.

"Minghui's parents have gone abroad, and I don't care about Minghui if I leave Minghui here alone, and so is Conan!" Ayumi on the side clenched her small fists indignantly.

"Yes......" Dad looked at me thoughtfully: "It's better like this, Xiaohui, you can move here and live here, anyway, it's inconvenient for you and Conan to live with Xiaolan, right?" ”

"Eh?!!!" When we heard this, we couldn't help but be extremely surprised.

"No!" Conan jumped up, seeing that the children next to him were all looking at him strangely, and couldn't help but add: "Brother Shinichi may come back when he will come back, it will be very inconvenient, besides, Sister Xiaolan will also be very reluctant...... "Maybe in Conan's understanding, I belong to the kind of dangerous items that are extremely unstable, and I must not be separated from his surveillance."

"That...... Thank you very much for your kindness, but I won't bother you, it's not too early, and it's time for us to leave. I interrupted Conan's words, stood up and refused, the eager gaze of the old mother next to me made my mood calm for a long time, and after a little longer, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist agreeing.

"Well, it's okay not to stay here, please...... Stay here a little longer, and I'll drive you back later." Seeing me standing up and gesturing to leave, my mother hurriedly stood up and said to me earnestly.

"Forget it, there's Kiko. Dad waved his hand and said, "It's not too early to see the sky, if you don't let the children go back early, their parents will be worried." ”

"But it's a good work...... All right. Mom's gaze darkened a little.

Conan looked at me, then at his parents, a little stunned.

"Well, we're going to take our leave, thank you for your hospitality. "When they saw me stand up, the children got up one by one, ready to go with me.

"Wait a minute. Xiao Ai suddenly stopped me: "The clothes behind you are a little open." Xiao Ai said as she walked behind me and helped me straighten my clothes.

"Oh, thanks. I answered, stood there and waited for Xiao Ai to help me tidy up my clothes, and when I was about to leave, my father suddenly changed his mind: "Wait a minute!"

"Is there anything else?" I asked, turning around.

"We have something I want to confirm with you, Xiaohui, can we delay you for half an hour?" Dad said to me sternly: "Don't worry about home, Xiaolan's house is not far from here, I will send you back." As he spoke, he turned to Conan and said, "Conan, you go back and talk to Xiaolan, Xiaohui is here with us, so he doesn't have to worry about it." ”

"Oh, good. Conan nodded stunnedly, didn't say anything, turned to the other children and said, "Okay, let's go home." ”

Looks like I can't leave. I smiled bitterly in my heart.

When Xiao Ai was leaving, he suddenly turned around and smiled at me, which made me a little baffled. The real reason who has been silent is to reluctantly leave step by step. When the children were gone and the room was completely quiet, I took a deep breath, turned to my dad and said, "So, what exactly do you want to confirm with me?"
