Didan Elementary School, Animal Lodge.

Ayumi Yoshida held a cabbage in her hand and followed behind Ash Hara tremblingly.

Like a knight guarding the princess, Gray Plains looked straight ahead with a carrot in her hand.

In front of him, a man with scarlet eyes, two huge fangs protruding from his lips, and a ...... covered with long gray hair The male lop-eared rabbit stares at the two of them with a deep eye on the rabbit.

"Ash, Ashara-san......" Ayumi Yoshida whispered with a nervous face.

This week, she and Gray Yuan are in charge of taking care of the animals in the animal hut.

According to the original division of labor, Gray Yuan Ai is responsible for the cleaning work, and she is responsible for feeding the small animals.

So, she encountered a big crisis!

…

From an adult's point of view, the work of cleaning is obviously more complicated than the work of feeding, so when the teacher assigns the task, Gray Yuan chose the more difficult work without thinking, but she never expected that for the children, feeding is a more difficult job.

"You just showed that expression, it turned out to be because of it......" Recalling the aggrieved look of Ayumi Yoshida who was about to speak and stopped just now, Gray Yuan sighed a little funny and asked, "When did it start to become like this?" ”

Ayumi Yoshida grabbed the corner of the gray plain's lichen and said timidly: "'Pete' is ...... It's been like this since the weekend, and that's when Ayumi is coming to ......"

"It's raining over the weekend, and you're worried that the windows of the rabbit hut aren't closed, so you're here to make sure, right?"

"Hmm!" Ayumi Yoshida nodded, and then said even more aggrieved: "As soon as Ayumi walked into the rabbit hut that day, 'Pete' made a strange cry at Ayumi, and when Ayumi wanted to get closer to check, 'Pete' kicked over with his hind legs, Ayumi ...... Ayumi was scared at the time, so she pushed Pete and ran away...... does 'Pete' hate Ayumi? ”

"No, it shouldn't be like that." Gray Yuan thought for a moment and stretched the carrot in his hand forward.

The curly-eared rabbit named Pete immediately made a "cooing" sound.

Gray Plain, who often "uses" mice and rabbits, understands that this is the rabbit's reaction to anger or warning.

Gray Yuan glanced at the cage behind Pete and said softly, "In the face of food, there was a warning of threats...... Looks like I'm right, Ayumi, you're going to have to call the teacher. ”

"Don't! If the teacher knew that Pete had attacked Ayumi, he would have sent Pete away for someone to eat! ”

“……”

Gray Yuan Ai looked at the corner of the clothes that was grabbed by Ayumi, and shook her head helplessly, she looked at Pete Rabbit being fed, and she was about to catch up with the size of the child, and determined that she should not be the opponent of this rabbit.

At this point, the best thing to do is to call the teacher, but in a hurry......

Gray Yuan took out a handkerchief directly from his pocket and replaced the carrot in his hand.

A strange scene happened, Pete, the rabbit who was still menacing, actually drooped his ears and suddenly began to retreat.

"Huh?" Ayumi Yoshida's eyes widened suddenly, and she said curiously: "Gray Yuan-san, Pete what is it?" ”

"It just smelled the handkerchief."

Gray Yuan mourned the picture of wiping Goku's mouth with a handkerchief before going out in the morning, and took another step forward with a determined face.

Not surprisingly, the lop-eared rabbit immediately took two steps back.

Although it was only a residual smell, the coercion from the King of Beasts still made Pete, who grew up in a rabbit hut, feel the suppression of his blood.

It has always only "bullied the soft and feared the hard", and quickly retracted into the corner of the hut.

Gray Yuan Ai turned around and beckoned to Ayumi, handed her the handkerchief in his hand, and said, "Take it, so it won't dare to come near you, go and put the food on the plate." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Gray Yuan-san!" Ayumi Yoshida happily took the handkerchief and walked to the rabbits' plate with the cabbage in her arms.

However, as soon as she crouched down, she noticed that not far away, the straw in the rabbit's nest began to shake.

"Ahh Ayumi Yoshida was so frightened that she sat down on the ground and said with a frightened face, "Yes, there's something over there!" ”

"Alas......" Gray Yuan lamented and picked up the cabbage on the ground helplessly, and while tearing it into leaves and putting it on the plate, he explained, "Those should be Pete's children." ”

"Kids, kids?" Ayumi Yoshida was stunned.

Gray Yuan's sad appearance made her inexplicably reassured, she rubbed her eyes and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, a few pink and tender little guys soon appeared in the straw ball, and they hadn't opened their eyes yet.

"It's a bunny!" Ayumi Yoshida's eyes lit up, and she was about to reach out and touch it.

At this time, a cold voice came from behind her, "Stop!" ”

"Ash, Ashara-san......" Ayumi Yoshida was so aggrieved that tears began to roll.

Gray Yuan's voice softened a little, and explained: "Pete, it doesn't hate you, it's just protecting its children, but what you just did ......"

"Yoshida-san, did you know that rabbits are different from cats and dogs, and when they encounter danger, they can't pick up their children and run away? Therefore, when they smell an unfamiliar smell on their baby, they may think that a predator has been there, and in order to prevent their children from becoming a predator, they can only ...... Be the first to bite your own child and abandon this nest. ”

"What, what!?" When Ayumi Yoshida heard this, she immediately took a few steps back away from the straw pile, and held her breath, as if as long as she did this, she would not spread the smell.

Gray Hara, who had already finished the feeding work, clapped his hands, looked at Ayumi with some amusement, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, Pete They have lived in the hut since they were children after all, and they are already familiar with the taste of humans, as long as you don't touch it with your hands, it shouldn't happen like that." ”

"Hmm...... Thank you, Ashbara-san, but ...... You're really good, like, like...... Just like adults! ”

“…… Like an adult. The smile on Gray Yuan's face froze, and gradually turned cold.

"Okay, the job of the student on duty has been completed, let's go." The calm tone was like frost.

Ayumi Yoshida was slightly stunned, and whispered with some concern: "Graybara-san......"

Gray Plains Wai walked straight out of the house......

…

…

"Why did it take so long?"

Outside the football field, Conan wiped the sweat from his head and caught up with Gray Yuan's footsteps.

Gray Yuan looked at the road ahead without squinting, and said calmly: "Didn't you have a good time?" Mr. Detective? ”

"You guy......" Conan frowned and stood still, "You must have something important to tell me before you take the initiative to contact me, right?" ”

Gray Plains quietly walked a few more steps, suddenly stopped, and said, "Rum is here." ”

"Rum?" Conan's expression froze, and he quickly reacted, "Is it the code name of the cadre in that organization?" Rum...... Is it more dangerous than gin? ”

Gray Yuan Wai shook his head, "I only know that Rum is the number two person in the organization, although I haven't met him, but there are many legends related to him in the organization...... Big men, men like women, old people...... Of these rumors, only one is certain, and that is ......"

Pointing to his blindfold, he continued, "One of his eyes was injured in an accident, so he pretended to be a prosthetic eye. ”

"The number two man of the organization...... Prosthetic eyes? That is, an artificially worn prosthetic eye...... Any other clues? Conan looked up in anticipation.

Gray Yuan Wai shook his head again, "I think Rum's purpose here must be related to my disappearance. The reason why I told you this is just that I hope Mr. Detective can be more careful not to expose yourself and harm ......me."

"Liar!" Conan interrupted, "You're actually worried that Mu Yuan will be targeted by Rum, so you specially told me the news, wanting me to help you find out Rum first, and then you can ...... You don't want to be with that guy named Rum...... Hey, don't do anything stupid! ”

Gray Yuan's expression changed and changed with Conan's reasoning, and finally changed back to his usual cold appearance again, saying, "You just need to mind your own business, Mr. Detective." ”

After saying that, without waiting for Conan to react again, Gray Yuan Ai directly took out the electric skateboard that the doctor gave her, and disappeared at the end of the street in a puff of smoke under Conan's envious gaze.

Looking at this scene, I don't know why, Conan always has a ...... The feeling that something that should have been your own was snatched away by someone else.

"Damn! What kind of patented products, can't you just lend them to outsiders for use? Isn't she an outsider? ”

Conan was so angry that he kicked the pebbles off his feet, but finally calmed down, touched his chin and began to think:

"In any case, this is a clue related to that organization, and it is very rare, and I must seize this opportunity."

"But...... Where do you start? ”

"The purpose of Rum's arrival has to do with the disappearance of that woman, who has an ambiguous relationship with Mu Yuan, that is...... As long as I keep an eye on Mu Yuan, I'm sure I'll find that guy named Rum! ”

With a decision in his mind, Conan immediately turned around and ran back to the school.

"Mu Yuan's insight is very weird, tracking or something, it will definitely be discovered soon, so ...... I can only ask the little ones to help. ”

"Ayumi!"

Conan stopped Ayumi Yoshida, who was about to go home, put his hands on his knees, panted, and thought to himself...... If only there were solar skateboards!

"Edogawa-san? Is there anything wrong with you? ”

"You...... Do you want to go to Erquan Temple to play? ”

"Erquan Temple? I remember...... It's the home of Brother Muyuan and Sister Shiho! Okay, but ...... It's just the two of us, what are you going to play? ”

Conan glanced at Mitsuhiko and Motota, who were eavesdropping around the corner in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Call Mitsuhiko and Motota too, let's go play football together!" ”

"But the two of them have already gone home......"

"Oops! What a coincidence, Ayumi and Edogawa-san! Ahaha......" Mitsuhiko and Motota walked over with embarrassed smiles.

When Ayumi Yoshida saw her good friend, she was unconsciously happy and said, "Mitsuhiko, Motota, do you want to go to Ersenji Temple with us?" ”

"Dang, of course you have to go!" Mitsuhiko took out his notebook and said mysteriously: "It is said that Mu Yuan ...... Brother, because I helped the zoo solve the crisis last time, I got the qualification to raise that little white tiger, and I just wanted to go and see that little guy. ”

"I, I'm ......" Kojima Motota recalled what Mu Yuan said last time, and couldn't help but tremble, a little hesitant, but looked at the cute Ayumi in front of him, and still gritted his teeth and said, "Me too!" ”

"Great! Then let's go to Erquan Temple to play! ”

"Yay!"

Several people looked at Conan Edogawa, who was embarrassed in place, and said strangely, "Edogawa-san? ”

"......" The corners of Conan's mouth twitched slightly, so he had to raise his hand and learn the movements of the three of them: "Okay......"

…

…

At the foot of Ersenji Mountain, in the parking lot of the open space.

"Doctor Dabei of Rice Flower Central Hospital, Alpha Alkaloid?"

Mu Yuan rarely put on a black suit, stood there with a straight posture, and read out the content of the text message on his mobile phone.

This was the first time he had received a mission from Gin, and it was also the first time he had put on the uniform of the Order.

It stands to reason that he, who is performing the task of cadre assessment, should not be assigned other tasks.

But this time......

[Is it because of Mr. Wakita?] Mu Yuan put away his mobile phone and thought to himself, [I originally thought that Mr. Wakida would be a public security person, but now it seems that ...... Could it be that Mr. Wakida is Rum? 】

"Didi!" At this time, a black business car drove up.

Mu Yuan looked up, the dark blackout glass concealed the situation in the car, but he still clearly saw the heart circle above the driver's head.

[Another owner of a perfect heart circle that has never been seen before?] Mu Yuan blinked and walked over.

…

At this time, Dr. Asasa's Beetle also happened to drive over, and he was forcibly called by Conan to pick it up.

The three little guys and Conan jumped out of the car one after another, and Ayumi Yoshida noticed Mu Yuan who was about to get into the car for the first time, and said:

"Huh, that guy...... It seems to be Brother Muyuan? Isn't he a monk? How did you dress like that? ”

Conan was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look over, and he was thinking about how to talk to Mu Yuan for a while.

"The clothes...... He's going to carry out the mission of that organization! ”

"Task? What are you talking about, Conan? Motota Kojima rubbed his rumbling stomach and wondered.

"Ahaha...... It's nothing, Dr. Asasa, I have something to tell you! Conan sneered and dodged Sanxiao, pulling Dr. Asa aside.

…

"Doctor! Lend me that skateboard you made! ”

"Ah......h I'm sorry, Shinichi, that skateboard doesn't belong to me anymore, and I don't have the right to lend it to you. ”

Conan opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but his attention was drawn to the silver-haired woman who stepped out of the van in the distance.

"The woman...... The color of the two eyes is not the same? Don't...... She's the number two in the Black Order, Rum!? ”
