"Yo, there's Kiko, it's been a long time!"

Outside the gate of the Dongdu Development Institute, they were greeted by a middle-aged man in his forties with thinning hair, "It hasn't changed at all, it's still a big beauty!" ”

"Of course!"

Yukiko Kudo greeted happily, and then introduced the middle-aged man to the junior detective group, "He is Mr. Karada who let us watch the new Kamen Superman movie." ”

"First meeting!"

"He's a colorist and he's always made my movies really beautiful!"

Tang Tian Jingshan smiled embarrassedly.

The elementary school students also realized from what they just said that this sister Yukiko was a female star, so they asked curiously.

After a few simple replies, Yukiko Kudo turned to Mr. Karada and asked, "And then?" When is the preview screening of Zero? ”

Zero is an industry term commonly used by film and television producers to refer to a film that has just been completed, an internal version before it is shown to the first audiences. For some reason, the premiere of the film was too late to catch up, so they took Zero directly as the premiere version.

"It seems like it's going to take some time, maybe around seven o'clock in the evening," said Mr. Karada, "I'm sorry, you can wait here for a while, you can visit here..."

“OK!”

"Ah, Hoshima and Negami!"

Mr. Karada called out to the two men who happened to be passing by, namely the printer Hiroshi Hoshima and the developer Yoshihiko Negami, "I'm sorry, can you take this Yukiko and these children to visit the studio?" ”

The two readily agreed, and the students were given a tour of the studio and introduced the facilities of the studio and their work.

Along the way, they visited the screening room, darkroom and other places, and also saw a lot of machines used to make films.

When the tour was almost over, Negami glanced at his watch and noticed that the time was almost up, "Oh, it's already 6:40, it's time for us to go to the screening room." ”

"That test screening seems to have to wait a while."

At this time, a man in his forties walked over, he was a salesman Furumura Tokuhiro.

"Huh?"

"Mr. Karada said that it will be eleven o'clock at the earliest," Furumura Tokuhiro yawned several times in succession, "but it has nothing to do with me, the person who was called a stupid person and then kicked out of the scene..."

"Looking sleepy?"

"Mahjong again?"

Hoshima Kazunegami asked at him, and Yukiko Kudo on the other side was a little entangled.

"But that's too bad," Yukiko Kudo said, glancing at her watch, "at eleven o'clock, I won't be able to catch the plane back... The kids can't stay that late either..."

"So, let the kids go to my room and sleep for a while, shall we?" Hoshima suggested, "The apartment I live in is nearby, let them sleep until the test screening, and then they can be refreshed, and when they are finished, I will send them back by car!" ”

"Really? Then please! ”

"But are you going to let the kids live in a room like that?" Negami asked.

"It's too much... It's just a little messy, where it's dirty! Hoshima retorted, then looked at the elementary school students, "Of course, if the children want to..."

Naturally, the elementary school students readily agreed.

After all, Kamen Superman is something they can't refuse.

Conan took out his mobile phone and asked the elementary school students to call home and say that they were going back late, and Yukiko Kudo looked at it with a smile, and then seized the opportunity to pull Kaedehara aside.

Gray Yuan Ai glanced back and realized that the mother and son probably had something to say, so he looked away and helped urge the children to call.

"Shin-chan," Kudo Yukiko whispered, "Compared to the last time I saw you, that kid seems to like you more." ”

Kaedehara blinked and glanced at Gray Hara in front of him.

"I'm losing count of the number of times she's stared at your face today, and it was the same yesterday! Moreover, when I said that she was a daughter-in-law before, her expression was also quite interesting~"

“… Got it. ”

It's almost exactly the same as the last time Kudo Yukiko talked about this topic, but this time Kudo Yukiko didn't give him a chance to change the topic, but continued to ask, "So... What about you? ”

Kaedehara was slightly stunned, and then looked at Gray Plains, who was walking with the elementary school students.

Then in Kudo Yukiko's smiling eyes, Kaedehara turned his head and said softly, "Speaking of which, Mom..."

"There's something very important that I need your help with..."

……

After handing over the children to Hoshima, Yukiko Kudo left first. The elementary school students followed Hoshima to his apartment, which was actually next to the Toto Imaging Center, and it was less than a two-minute walk away.

When he came to the door, Hoshima opened the door and gave the elementary school students a great shock.

The room in front of him was full of all kinds of things, and in Kaedehara's opinion, it was even better than the utility room that Dr. Asasa used to store discarded props.

"It's more messy than we thought..."

"You should clean up too..."

"Well, let's clean up before we go to bed!"

The elementary school students talked one by one, and Ayumi was going to help clean up the house, but was stopped by Hoshima.

"No, no, no, you can't touch it." Hoshima said, "Then I won't know where to put anything!" ”

Kaedehara agreed. He used to be the same, although it was messy, everything could be found, but if it was cleaned up by the family, it would not be found... But he was very different from the scene in front of him.

Like them, Furumura and Negami also came here, intending to take a nap before the preview screening and the following all-night mahjong.

Hoshima led the elementary school students to avoid clutter and opened the door to his bedroom, "Then we will sleep on the sofa, and the children will sleep in my room... This bed is sideways, so it should sleep six children..."

There is only one bed in the room, but it is wider.

"It's been a hard day!" When the elementary school students were about to go to bed, they noticed that Furumura seemed to be talking to himself while holding a camera to shoot something, "You have to come on for tonight's all-night mahjong!" ”

"What is he doing?" Motota asked.

"This guy has been getting a lot of time keeping a diary lately," Negami explained to Genta and left the house, "Well, I still have work to do, so I'll go back first..."

"Okay!" Hoshima replied.

The bedroom door was closed, the lights were turned off, and the elementary school students were quickly lying in a row on the bed.

Ash Hara slept on the far left side of the bed, with his back to Kaedehara, who was sandwiched between her and Conan, closing his eyes and preparing to rest.

However, after a while, Ayumi and the others had no intention of falling asleep, and were still chattering about the movies they would watch later.

"Wow, what to do, I'm so excited I can't sleep!"

"The movie should be called 'Baron Potato's Counteroffensive, right?"

"No, the name in the trailer seems to be..."

"Ahhh Conan, who was distraught by the noise, sat up angrily, "It's 'Requiem for the Potato Queen'!" This is something you should remember! ”

However, he didn't get a response, and Ayumi, Motota, and Mitsuhiko had apparently fallen asleep, and Motota even snored.

"Hey, I'm asleep..."

"It's your voice," Kaedehara complained.

"No way," Gray Yuan Wai obviously hadn't fallen asleep yet, "they're still children, and they're not like us..."

“……”

"Hey, Kaedehara, Gray Plains..."After looking at the two of them, Conan hesitated and spoke.

"What's wrong?"

“… Forget it, let's go back and talk about it. ”

On the way to the Eastern Capital Developer Office, Conan noticed a suspicious car. Kudo Yukiko was at the intersection, and when the light was green, it stopped for a long time and didn't move, but the car behind didn't even honk the horn.

However, he has never had a chance to communicate with Kaedehara, and he originally wanted to take the opportunity to talk about it, but after thinking about it, forget it.

After all, the other self must have noticed it too...

Thinking like this, Conan fell asleep.

Kaedehara and Gray Plains also quickly fell asleep.

Although Motota also snored, he was still far behind the doctor, so Kaedehara slept fairly peacefully.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I noticed the abnormal movement, Kaedehara woke up and opened his eyes.

Gray Yuan Wai didn't know when he had turned over and faced him. When he used to camp, the Junior Detective Group also slept together like this, but he didn't wake up because of this...

Gray Yuan's hand grabbed the edge of his clothes.

The room was dim and I couldn't really see it, but combined with the sound of Gray Yuan's breathing, Kaede Yuan knew that Gray Yuan was still sleeping.

She didn't use her hand to grasp her clothes, as if she was just checking to see if she wasn't there.

In recent times, the shadow of the organization has made even Kaedehara and Conan preoccupied all the time, and even more so Gray Plains, who is more sensitive to the organization.

She was clearly not sleeping soundly...

Although he didn't know how long it was until the scheduled wake-up time, Kaedehara didn't plan to sleep again. He just looked at Gray Plains in the dark motionlessly... Then he heard the faint sound of the door opening and the faint sound of footsteps outside.

Kaedehara became alert.

But...

This is someone else's house, and the door opened is not this room... Maybe someone else is back...

Thinking so, Kaedehara quickly realized that something was wrong, but then a cry of pain echoed through the room.
