Bang.

In the Maori Detective Agency, along with electronic sound effects, the character controlled by Kaedehara is knocked to the ground.

"Haha, boy, you're still far away!" Uncle Maori sat in front of the TV with Kaedehara with the handle, beaming.

“……”

For the previous two weeks, Uncle Maori had not been commissioned, and Conan had nothing to do, so he played video games in the office. Uncle Maori, who remembered the fun of abusing vegetables last time, also joined in.

And in order to play the role of Conan well, Kaedehara had no choice but to continue.

A new game begins, and Kaedehara braces himself before hearing the sound of the door being pushed open.

"Daddy, Conan!" Xiaolan walked in and closed the door, "I'm back!" ”

"Welcome back, Sister Lan."

"Why is it so early today?"

"Today's just tidying up the venue of the school festival.,I'll be back when I'm done.。 Xiaolan put the ingredients she bought back in the refrigerator, "You two are really, you have to be a little restrained when you play games-"

Ding Dong –

The doorbell rang shortly afterward.

"Huh?" Xiao Lan, who had just entered the door, was a little surprised, and said as she walked over to open the door, "You two hurry up and finish, maybe there is a commission to come to the door-"

"-Shinichi!?"

Uncle Maori looked back in surprise, and although the visitor was half blocked by Xiaolan, he still recognized it at a glance, and it was the stinky boy who had deceived his daughter standing in the doorway.

Xiaolan couldn't help but glance back, the one who was happily playing video games with her father was undoubtedly Conan.

"Xiaolan, it's me." Shinichi Kudo put one hand in his pocket and leaned against the door frame.

"Are you really Shinichi?"

"What are you talking about!" Kudo Shinichi said dissatisfied, "I'm sorry for coming back to see you." Haven't you seen me in a while and don't recognize me? ”

"No, I'm just so happy..."

"Cut!" Uncle Maori snorted unhappily and turned his head to continue controlling his character.

Although he was very unhappy with Kudo Shinichi, looking at his daughter's current appearance, Uncle Maori decided to forget it for the time being, and then responded casually to Kudo Shinichi's greeting.

"Shinichi, I forgot," Xiaolan stepped aside, "Come in and sit down, I was planning to make some snacks to eat..."

"No, Ran," Kudo Shinichi said, "I won't go in and bother." I'm actually here to find Conan, and you know that he's a distant relative of my family, and his parents have something to say for me to bring to him..."

"Huh?" Xiaolan was a little lost, "Shinichi, are you leaving again?" ”

"Stupid! How could it be! Kudo Shinichi lowered his voice slightly, "I'll invite you out to dinner tonight, and I have something important to tell you when the time comes." ”

"Huh?"

"I'll call you later, don't forget!"

Shinichi Kudo said this, and beckoned "Conan" to leave. Kaedehara took advantage of Uncle Mori's distraction to achieve his first victory, and then returned to Dr. Asasa's house with Conan, who had turned back into Shinichi Kudo, in Uncle Mori's unhappy voice.

According to the plan, Conan deliberately appeared in front of Xiaolan as Shinichi Kudo when "Kaedehara" was in the detective agency, and then fished Kaedehara out, and the two went back together to undergo various tests.

Walking on the road, Conan, who turned back into Kudo Shinichi, couldn't help but glance at Kaedehara.

"What's wrong?" Kaedehara asked.

"Look at your face from this perspective... It really doesn't feel the same," Conan sighed, "and sure enough, it's still in good health." ”

Kaedehara blinked and took off his glasses.

Conan suddenly felt that it was not fragrant.

Back at the doctor's home, Kaedehara and Conan cooperated with Gray Yuan to conduct a series of tests, and some blood was drawn.

It is worth mentioning that during the test, Conan had a slight accident and fainted, but quickly recovered with help.

Conan, who changed back as he wished, didn't care.

By the time the test was over, it was getting late, and Kaedehara called back to the Maori Detective Agency, saying that he would play the doctor's new video game at the doctor's house all night tonight as Conan.

Although she wasn't very happy, Xiaolan was going out to dinner with Shinichi tonight, so she just asked "Conan" to pay attention to rest and agreed.

On the other hand, after being freed from the test, Conan slipped out the door, planning to ask Xiaolan out for a walk before going to the lookout restaurant for dinner.

……

"Lookout restaurant?"

Gray Yuan glanced curiously at the environment of the restaurant, and then glanced at the scenery outside the window. From here, you can see the brightly lit rice flower market outside.

"In such an upscale place, we two elementary school students came, is it okay?" Ash Yuan Ai turned his head to look at Kaedehara, who was studying the menu.

"Don't worry, I brought the doctor's credit card," Kaedehara replied casually, "The seat was also booked by the doctor's phone." ”

“……”

"And... It's the doctor's credit card, but the money is actually mine," Kaedehara continued, "You're welcome. ”

Kaede Yuan was a little curious about whether Conan could successfully say what he wanted to say to Xiaolan, and he also happened to need to observe Conan's situation to avoid accidents, so he came here with Gray Yuan Ai.

A few tables away are Conan and Ran's seats.

However, Xiaolan turned her back to them, and the two of them only had each other in their eyes now, obviously not noticing that there were two children coming over to observe them secretly.

In fact, even if they found out, it wouldn't be a big deal, so Kaedehara sat here with Gray Yuan with peace of mind.

Gray Hara glanced back and realized that even Conan, who was sitting facing them, hadn't noticed them, "What are they talking about?" ”

Kaedehara's hearing is very good, and the distance is not far, so Gray Yuan feels that Kaedehara can hear.

“… It's not good to eavesdrop on someone else's conversation. ”

"You're listening to yourself," Gray Hara said seriously, "you can't be overhearing someone else's speech." ”

If it's so familiar, I always feel like I've said it too. Kaede Yuan thought to himself, feeling that what Gray Yuan said made sense. In fact, Conan and Xiaolan didn't deliberately lower their voices, and even if they didn't go out of their way to listen, he could indeed hear it.

"Is it okay? The cost here seems to be very high..."Kaedehara repeated, "That's what Ran said. ”

"Don't worry, I brought my dad's credit card..."

Kaedehara ended the retelling.

Gray Plains Wai showed a playful expression. The conversation between the two of them was similar to the conversation between the two of them just now.

“… So you see, it's pretty much that these words are not nutritious, they don't sound good. Kaedehara said.

The eavesdropping operation was announced to be over as soon as it began.

Ash Hara also turned his attention back to the menu.

After a few meals, Conan began to talk about Sherlock Holmes, and Gray Yuan was a little full, quietly looking out the window.

"Want to hear a story?"

Neither of them is very good at taking the initiative to bring up the topic, and after thinking about it for a while, Kaedehara decided to talk about something.

"Okay."

Gray Yuan turned his head and looked at Kaedehara with one hand on his chin.

Kaedehara then spoke:

"The main character of the story is a young male. He is a young and promising young reasoner. ”

What he wrote was adapted into a film and television drama, and the heroine was played by a young and beautiful female high school student. The two got acquainted. ”

Gray Plains mourned thoughtfully.

"Just twenty years ago today, the young reasoner took the girl to the lookout restaurant in the central building of Rice Flower City, intending to say something very important to her."

He didn't get straight to the point, but made small talk with her for a while. After a while, he felt that the atmosphere was almost over, and he was ready to say that very important sentence to the girl. ”

Kaedehara paused.

"And then?" "I guess something must have happened, but he couldn't say it." ”

"yes, stories are always so old-fashioned," Kaedehara agreed, "and just as the words reached his lips, a scream rang out through the restaurant." ”

A scream resounded through the restaurant.

The other side of the restaurant became a mess, loud and noisy, and curious diners passed news to each other.

In Kaedehara's sight, Conan said a few words to Xiaolan, and then got up and ran over there.

Gray Yuan glanced at Kaede Yuan in some surprise.

She thought it was the story of Kudo's parents... But... Is this also expected by Kudo?

“… It's just a coincidence. Kaedehara explained that he had no intention of getting up, after all, there was "Shinichi Kudo" there.

But it's not just a coincidence. He just controlled the pace and followed the progress of Conan's side, and it happened that Conan's side was almost talking about it when he was about to speak, and he said this.

Kaedehara continued to tell the story, and Ashbara continued to listen. It's as if nothing is happening over there.

The young inference heard the screams and ran out to the elevator. He found a man in the elevator who had been shot in the forehead and collapsed in the elevator. ”

"There were no guns and no bullet casings in the elevator."

"A rookie police officer who went to the police at the time felt that this was an accidental robbery and murder. At that time, his belly was not round. ”

Kaedehara continued, and Gray Yuan subconsciously thought of the Twilight Police Department.

The young inferent approached the young officer and told him that it was not a robbery. He pointed out some clues that the police did not find, which pointed to the owner of the game company where the deceased worked. ”

"But just when the young officer thought the case was solved, the reasoner turned around and told him that it was actually a suicide and that he was just trying to blame someone else."

"He devised an ingenious mechanism, after he was shot, the body fell back into the elevator and followed the elevator down, while the gun was left upstairs under the effect of the mechanism, which became a means of planting."

And so the case was settled. He returned to his female companion, got down on one knee, and said to her earnestly—"

Gray Yuan leaned slightly.

Kaedehara looked at his face reflected in his ice-blue eyes, and then said softly:

“ich liebe dich。”

"I love you" in German.

“… Your parents are not German. ”

"Well, they didn't tell me anything. Anyway, he proposed. Kaedehara blinked, "Dessert is here." ”
