"School is really," Conan complained to Kaedehara on the way out of school, "but at this time it's two days in a row." ”

Kaedehara, who didn't know how to answer this, chose to remain silent.

Last night, Akemi Miyano left on the same flight as Yusaku Kudo and his wife after disguise, and now it's time to arrive. Not long ago, they also received a message from their mobile phone.

For Kaedehara and Conan, this is the end of the matter.

After all, the follow-up work over there is not something he can help with.

Conan ran to the doctor's house in the morning to talk to Kaedehara about Akemi Miyano again, and happened to see Kaedehara who was about to go out, and was told that he had class today.

This is the fourth time Conan has complained about this.

"There is no need for classes in the high school today," Conan continued, which Conan hadn't said before, so Kaede Yuan listened a little more seriously, "Early in the morning, Xiaolan wanted to call the guy in the garden to clean our house with her, it's really troublesome, and no one asks her to go..."

"So you didn't go in the end?"

"yes. I told her, 'My new brother's mom and dad seem to be back,' and that dispelled her thoughts. ”

Although Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo were staying in the hotel these nights, Conan was still worried that the two of them would not go back to Kudo's house, causing Xiaolan to notice that something was wrong.

"Then the next time she goes there, she will still find that no one has lived there for a long time, and she will feel wrong." Kaedehara pointed out the problem.

"What can I do then," Conan said casually, "at this critical time, let's fool around first..."

The two of them talked all the way, and soon came to the vicinity of the Maori detective office, and then saw a young woman with a familiar silhouette just walking up the stairs to the office.

"Got a commission?" Conan's eyes lit up.

In the previous operation to save Akemi Miyano, he basically didn't make a lot of effort, and now is the time to be very interested in the incident.

Kaede was thinking about the identity of that person just now... Although he only saw the side face, because Kaedehara's memory was clearer, he knew who it was when he recalled it.

Glancing at Conan, he didn't seem to have reacted at this time, so Kaedehara decided to go up and have a look.

"Looking for Shinichi Kudo?" Uncle Maori, who heard the content of the commission, looked surprised, "Aren't you also a high school detective?" ”

"Huh?"

"Daddy!" Xiaolan shouted Uncle Maori dissatisfiedly, and then looked at the client, "I'm really sorry." However, do you have anything to do with Shinichi? ”

The door was not closed, Kaede Yuan and Conan walked in directly, and Xiaolan happened to be talking again, so the two of them omitted the greeting link first.

"Shinichi?" The client was stunned for a moment, "You and Kudo are...?" ”

"My name is Maoriran," said Ran, "and Shinichi and he are just friends who grew up together..."

"Ahem." Uncle Maori, who was left to dry, strengthened his sense of presence.

"Ah, I'm sorry. That's right," the woman said to Uncle Maori, "The people from our school's Reasoning Institute rented a villa this weekend to celebrate my birthday. I wrote to Kudo a long time ago to invite him, but there was no response. ”

"Today I went to his house to look for him," the woman continued, "and I found that there was no one at his house, and I asked around and found out that he hadn't been home for a while..."

Although he is very experienced in finding people, Uncle Mori has no interest in finding Kudo Shinichi at all, so he plans to find a random reason to refuse the commission.

But at this time, Xiaolan spoke with some hesitation.

"That's... Could you please ask your name? ”

"Asami Uchida," the woman said, "My name is Asami Uchida." Sorry, I just forgot to introduce myself. ”

Conan's face changed slightly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Xiaolan realized that the person who wanted to entrust her father to find Shinichi was Sister Uchida, the president of the school's student council when she was in the first grade.

Seeing that Xiaolan chatted with the client, Uncle Maori, who didn't want to accept this commission, was also happy.

In a friendly exchange with Asami Uchida, Xiaolan also said something about Shinichi.

"Well, Kudo never told me this..."

"Senior sister," Xiaolan said curiously, "you should have already graduated, right?" Why invite Shinichi? ”

"Oh... Because I thought he was going to go," Uchida said, looking a little lower, "could he have forgotten... That confession four years ago? ”

"Confession, confession!?"

"Hmm. But... He can't be blamed for that. Asami Uchida said, showing a look of nostalgia, "First love... It's easy to fade inherently. ”

……

The person who made the confession four years ago was actually Asami Uchida.

Kaedehara remembers, too.

However, Uchida Mami's somewhat ambiguous words obviously caused Xiaolan to misunderstand, and Xiaolan thought that Sister Uchida Mami was Kudo Shinichi's first love.

And Conan, who had a bad premonition, rarely had a high emotional intelligence, and soon realized that Xiaolan had misunderstood.

But he's just Conan now, so he has to gag, and soon the scene is messed up by him.

However, the garden who likes gossip is not there, so after a while, Asami Uchida still successfully solved the misunderstanding.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

Conan's agitation made Uchida Asami look for Kudo Shinichi a little lighter, and it happened that Uncle Maori was a famous detective, so Uchida Asami invited them to a weekend party for the Reasoning Research Society.

The gathering wasn't today, and Kaedehara had no plans to stay with the past.

So after saying goodbye to Uncle Maori and Ran, he returned to the doctor's house alone, leaving Conan alone to continue to maneuver between Senpai and Ran.

It was getting dark.

It looks like it's going to rain.

Kaedehara, who had been delayed for a while after watching a play, quickened his pace a little, and finally rushed back before the rain fell.

Lightning streaked across the sky, and there was a faint rumbling of thunder.

"Sora! You're back," Dr. Asasa breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm about to get you an umbrella." ”

"Thank you, Doctor."

"Ahem... It's a really fast day," Dr. Asasa changed the subject with some embarrassment, "It's still a sunny day, and it's going to rain in a blink of an eye." ”

"yes." Kaede Hara responded.

As he spoke, huge raindrops fell.

"Well," the doctor couldn't help but sigh again, "it's raining so hard, and I don't know if I can deliver it today." ”

“……”

Things were exactly what Dr. Asasa had predicted.

Dr. Asasa, who hadn't eaten much during this time because of Akemi Miyano's affairs, wanted to order his favorite delivery again, but was told that the rain was too heavy to deliver.

At this time, after all, the delivery is only the responsibility of the clerk... So Dr. Asasa is sorry, but there is nothing he can do.

But... It's the same with a few different stores.

That's troublesome.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, it was not very convenient to drive to pick it up, so the two planned to wait for the rain to stop.

But the rain didn't stop. There was no intention of stopping for a while.

Although he wasn't hungry, Kaedehara got up and said, "I'll go buy something to eat at a nearby convenience store, Doctor." ”

"Huh?" Dr. Asasa quickly waved his hand, "No, no. It's raining so hard—"

"I'll just wear a raincoat, it'll be fine." Kaedehara said, walking towards the door without waiting for the doctor to refuse.

The raincoat is placed next to the umbrella stand at the door.

Boom –

Thunder pierced the sky.

Kaedehara opened the door, then froze for a moment.

A small figure in a white lab coat struggled to walk through the rain against the wall.
