"What about the Doctor and Grayplain?"

Leaving the hotel, Conan told Xiaolan to go to the doctor's house to play for a while, and then followed Kaedehara to the doctor's house to discuss things.

"The same old way." Kaedehara replied.

Both the Doctor and Gray Plains were so busy with their own work that they didn't even notice that he and Conan were back.

"Speaking of which..."

Conan didn't care, he sat on the sofa, put his phone on the table, and watched the video that Kaedehara had just taken, "From this angle, I always feel that she looks a little familiar..."

Of course...

Kaedehara didn't reply, but went to fetch two cans of orange juice.

"The photo I saw on Sera's phone before, because of the angle, I didn't feel so familiar," Conan continued.

"The picture?" Kaedehara asked.

"Yes, I met Shiliang in a case before, and I saw it on her phone by chance." Conan replied, "But that feeling was deliberately shown to me by her—didn't I tell you?" ”

"Nope." Kaedehara replied, "No wonder when I said that there was a young woman in the room before, you didn't react to that, and just asked me what they said..."

"I just forgot, I just happened to be overwhelmed by Mr. Amuro's affairs during that time. And I haven't figured out the man's true identity yet! By the way, I tried to ask Shiliang who it was afterwards..."

"And then?"

"And then she replied that the man was a sister from outside the realm..."Conan thought for a moment, "I haven't figured out what that means..."

“MI6。”

"Huh?"

"That's SIS." Kaedehara explained, "Seliang told you before that she came back from the United States, right? The English of the sister is sister, and the English of the field is territory-"

"Abbreviated as ter," Conan said with a blank look, picking up Kaedehara's words, "and then remove ter from sister, and what you get is SIS... That is, the secret intelligence service of the British intelligence service..."

"yes."

"Why?"

"Huh?"

"I mean," Conan then looked skeptical, not knowing whether he was doubting Kaedehara or doubting himself, "Why did you think of it when you heard it?" ”

It's another self who says it's okay!

“… Because I happened to meet Shiliang near the SIS headquarters building. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Kaedehara decided to confess.

Conan, who was sitting opposite, obviously didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and then Kaedehara told him about himself and Ai Kudo disguised themselves as Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo to go to London together.

Then there was a brief silence.

"So you were the one who gave the antidote to the doctor at that time?" After calming down, Conan spoke.

"yes."

"Then Xiaolan and I are on the bridge..."

"See." Kaedehara honestly admitted.

“……”

"I heard that, too."

"Hehe..."

"I didn't mean to hide it from you..."Kaedehara continued to argue.

Although Kudo Yukiko said that he would help when he told Conan about the case, but he didn't say it, but he didn't say it himself, so Kaedehara was a little embarrassed.

"Still quibbling! Damn it! I've brought you so many gifts from the Sherlock Holmes Memorial! Give it back to me! ”

Kaedehara humbly accepted the criticism and said that he would definitely do it next time.

After being a little depressed for a while, Conan finally got the upper hand in his mind, so he continued:

"Then the person who looks like a junior high school student is..."

"Seliang's mother." Kaedehara replied, "We saw her ten years ago. When Gray Yuan and I left the hotel, she was wet and returned to the hotel in ill-fitting clothes, and the clothes were the same as when we met her the day before, of course, it could be the same type..."

"It's also that I've become smaller after taking medicine..."Conan held his chin and thought for a moment, "No wonder Sera was sure that I was Shinichi Kudo when he first saw me." ”

"You only saw one at that time," Conan looked at Kaedehara and continued, "She hadn't thought of such a thing as one person becoming two, so Sera's mother was not divided like Ashbara?" ”

“… I guess so. ”

"What did she say?" Conan decided to ask the experts.

"I haven't told her yet."

"Huh?"

"At that time, I saw Sera's mother when she became smaller."

“… You even hid your ash. ”

"You just said you think she looks familiar, right?" Kaedehara reached for Conan's phone on the table, then clicked on the video, pausing until he could see Marie Akai's face at a good angle.

Then he took out his phone, brought up the photo he had taken, and put the two phones together.

Conan was slightly stunned.

"If that's not clear," Kaedehara said, backing up the photo and editing it again, drawing an eyeshadow over Mary Akai out of the corner of Ashbara's eyes.

"Exactly the same," Conan muttered.

"She and Gray Yuan may be related, but there is no way to confirm it yet, I want to wait until it is confirmed." Kaedehara paused slightly, "And, you know, Shuichi Akai and Sister Akemi have been dating for a while. ”

……

After some time.

On this day, the Junior Detectives took the Doctor to a nearby park for morning exercises, and then returned to the Doctor's house together. On the way back, the doctor mysteriously told the elementary school students good news.

"Ah, a meal ticket?"

"You've won the lottery again?"

"Your luck is as good as ever!"

Hearing the good news from the doctor, the elementary school students praised the doctor one by one.

"Then I'll take you to-day," said the Doctor, "to the high-end restaurant on the top floor of the Rice Flower Department Store for a luxurious lunch!" ”

"Great!"

"It's too early for you to rejoice!" The doctor shook his finger again, "There's one more thing to be happy about!" ”

"What is it?"

"Tell us about it!"

"That's not going to work, keep it secret for now!"

The doctor who walked in front chatted with the elementary school students, and Kaedehara, who was behind, yawned, and then talked to Conan and Gray Yuan about what Conan met a few days ago:

"So Sera himself told you that she was Akai's sister?"

"Well, but what she said was Brother Xiu."

A few days ago, on a whim, Yuanzi wanted to pull Xiaolan, Shiliang and Miss Azi to start a band, and Shira Zhenjun also met with Amuro Tou.

Conan thinks they've met before.

"Anyway," Conan then complained, "why do you keep yawning, it's—"

He looked at Gray Plains Wai who was across from him, and noticed that Gray Plains Mourning was not only yawning repeatedly, but even had some dark circles under his eyes.

"With what?" Kaedehara yawned synchronously.

"I mean, you two won't have slept last night, will you?" Conan was skeptical.

"A cockroach suddenly appeared before I went to bed last night," Ash Hara yawned again, "I fought it with Kudo for a long time..."

"Yes, yes?"

"It didn't take long for it to be solved very quickly," Kaedehara explained, "at that time..."

At that time—

"What's wrong, Grayplain?"

Hearing some strange movements in the living room, Kaedehara got up from the bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, put on a coat and left the room to the living room.

In the living room, Ai Gray, who had obviously slept late, was half-lying on the ground with a rolled-up magazine and looking under the cabinet.

"Cockroaches."

"Huh?" Kaedehara immediately felt a little more energetic.

"There's a cockroach!" Gray Yuan Wai stood up from the floor, and said angrily, "I was about to go to bed when I noticed a cockroach running in front of me!" ”

"Why are there cockroaches?"

"How do I know!" Gray Yuan said dissatisfied, "Aren't you a detective? Why haven't you noticed? ”

"Hey, hey..."

"But now that you're awake, come over and help destroy it."

"It's so late, or tomorrow please-"

"No! I can't sleep just thinking about it crawling around! Gray Yuan Ai crossed his waist with his left hand, and waved the rolled magazine with his right hand, "I must destroy it tonight!" ”

“… Wait for me then. ”

"Huh?"

"I'll go get the props."

"Props?" Gray Yuan said curiously, "There are no pesticides or anything like that at home, right?" And I'm skeptical that pesticides are working..."

"It's not a pesticide, you'll find out later..."

Ash Yuan mourned and sent Kaedehara back to the bedroom, then stared warily at the cabinet beside him. A few seconds later, she heard Kaede Yuan walk back again, still holding -

"Tranquilizer needle gun!?"

"yes," Kaede Yuan nodded, "Something like Pisko that even a member of the organization can't handle, it should be no problem to deal with cockroaches, right?" ”

"......" Gray Yuan couldn't help but want to complain, but then he found that the cockroach ran out of the gap between the cabinet and the wall, so he subconsciously shouted, "Quick, Kudo-"

In the next moment, the cockroach was motionless.

Kaedehara put away his pistol and blew out the smoke that wasn't there at the muzzle.

"Ah, Mr. Detective is really reliable. Did you learn this in Hawaii as well? Gray Yuan asked, holding his arms.

"yes..."

"But," Gray Plains then turned to lamentation, "the question now is, why are there cockroaches?" ”

- Time goes back to the present.

"But generally, when you find a cockroach in the house, it means there are many..."

"So we're doing a big cleaning," Gray Harato yawned again.

"But the effect is average, after cleaning up for a long time, Gray Yuan and I didn't find another cockroach, but found the food that the doctor hid before but forgot about himself," Kaede Yuan also yawned again, "But I still made an appointment with a professional pest control company, and they will come tomorrow..."

"It's just a cockroach, why are you making such a fuss..."Conan, who listened to the story, couldn't help but complain.

"Anyway, I've seen it," Kaedehara immediately shot back, "Your living environment is not very good, beware of cockroaches..."

"I can't help it, it's all my uncle's fault!" Conan defended himself by saying that he was bunkering in Uncle Maori's room, and that "empty beer bottles and all kinds of garbage were thrown everywhere, and no matter how much I tried to clean them up... Still, the doctor seems to be in good spirits..."

"Of course." Gray Yuan said and glanced at the doctor walking in front, "When we were fighting in the living room, the doctor's snoring never stopped, it was really carefree..."

Back at the doctor's house, the elementary school students also helped clean up the area that Kaedehara and Gray Yuan couldn't finish last night, and then they went to the Rice Department Store for lunch together.

Because it's close to Christmas, it's crowded with people and Christmas decorations everywhere.

"Wow... It's amazing! ”

"There are so many Christmas decorations in the mall!"

"It's exciting!"

The elementary school students excitedly looked around at the decorations, and a staff member dressed as Santa Claus gave them a balloon. But soon Ayumi's attention was drawn to something else not far away.

"Gray Plains!" Ayumi excitedly pulled Gray Yuan Ai and ran two steps over there, "Look at you! That's putting on makeup! ”

There were two female staff members applying makeup to a female guest sitting in a chair.

"Yes, it's a live demonstration of cosmetics sales...", Ash Yuan Ai was also a little interested, "It seems to be mascara." ”

"It's so pretty..."Ayumi showed an envious expression, and her feet seemed to have taken root, and she kept standing there watching.

"Want to try it?" After thinking for a moment, Gray Yuan asked.

"Huh? May I? ”

"Anyway, it's demo sales, so it should be fine if you just try it out."

With that, Gray Yuan Wai walked over there. Ayumi followed expectantly.

But they were rejected.

"No way?" Gray Hara was a little unhappy, she looked at the staff who rejected them in front of her dissatisfied, and Ayumi carefully hid behind her to expose half of her head, a little nervous, "Aren't we guests?" ”

"Oh, if it's your mother..."

"It's my mom who wants to buy it," Kaedehara, who heard the commotion, walked over, "She can't come because she has something to do at home, so please let us help take a look..."

"Yes, yes?"

"Then you can quickly make one for them...", the other staff member leaned into the staff member's ear and whispered, "As long as it can be sold, it's all the same..."

"Okay, okay..."

The makeup artist didn't refuse again, and Gray Hara sat down on the chair with a happy Ayumi one after another.

Because it was just a trial of mascara, the makeup of the two elementary school students was finished after a while.

"How, how?" Ayumi turned her head to look at everyone.

"Looks different, does it?" Gray Plains mourning too.

"Yes, yes," the doctor replied.

"Good, so beautiful..."

The elementary school boys' eyes were a little straight.

After putting on makeup, the two look a little more mature, but they are also quite limited, just giving people a different style. Kaedehara glanced at it twice and walked over directly to settle the bill.

"Did you really buy it?" Gray Yuan still seems to have some opinions about the staff member, "That guy is so excessive, I don't want to buy it..."

"It's okay, it's not expensive," Kaedehara explained in a low voice, "and you can take it back to practice your cross-dressing skills." ”

Gray Yuan Ai then went to the bathroom with Ayumi to remove her makeup, and then the group took the elevator to the restaurant on the top floor for lunch.

It is worthy of a high-end restaurant, and the taste is really good.

When the last one to finish work, Mrs. Genta, finished eating, and the elementary school students couldn't help but continue the previous topic.

"And then?" Motota exhaled, touched his bulging belly, and then looked at the doctor, "What the hell is it?" Doctor..."

"Didn't you say there's another good thing?" Mitsuhiko echoed.

"What the hell is it?"

"Hmph, actually..."

The doctor paused for a moment, then pulled out another coupon from his pocket, "In addition to this meal ticket, I also won a shopping coupon from this department store!" ”

"Wow!"

"It's almost Christmas, right? I've got a 10,000 yen shopping coupon here, so I'll buy you a gift..."

The doctor said, looking at the coupon in his hand proudly, and when he turned around, he was stunned for a moment, "Huh? What about children, children? ”

Kaedehara gestured towards the door.

Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi were already walking outside together, chatting excitedly about the gifts they wanted.

"I've always wanted that telescope," Mitsuhiko said.

"I want baseball gloves and bats!" This is Motota.

"Ayumi wants a big, big doll!"

"Ah, that..."Seeing that the elementary school students had already walked out, the doctor couldn't help but look at the ticket in his hand again, "I only got 10,000 yen..."

"Doctor, you know that Yuantai and their temperament still say that," Kaedehara said, "It can be seen that you don't mind them choosing such an expensive thing..."

"Hey, hey..."

"Ah, does Mr. Detective know my character?" Ash Yuan also left his seat and looked at Kaedehara.

“… I remember that the shop that sold designer bags was on the first floor," Kaedehara followed as he left his seat, "Well, Doctor, let's go over too." ”

"Really, really, even you—" said the doctor, then looked at Conan, who was still in his seat, "It's better for Conan..."

"Because I can't buy what I want here," Conan replied casually to the doctor, "If only this was selling tickets for the World Cup." ”

“……”

As they spoke, there was some unusual movement at the table behind them. Conan looked back.

The meal was a couple, and a middle-aged man who looked like a chef seemed to be chatting with them. However, it wasn't this one that caught Conan's attention, but another chef trotting all the way over.

"Head Chef!" He shouted, but not loudly.

"Huh?"

"The guest who complained last time called again..."

"Ah, the one with a strange voice?" The head chef asked.

"He said he would come to this mall today, and he wanted to say something to you in person..."

"But if that guest comes in and makes a fuss, it won't be easy." The head chef hesitated slightly, "You tell him that if he has something to say, he'll see you on the stairs next to the restaurant in thirty minutes..."

……

Dozens of minutes later, on the first floor.

"Speaking of which," Kaede Hara looked at Gray Hara, who was taking the latest bag of Fu Sha Ei and carefully observing, "I remember that you used to like Prada's..."

"Support Ms. Fusae," Gray Yuan replied, "And this brand also has a lot of affordable styles, so it's more popular, and I like this too..."

"That's... Is this all you need? ”

"Ah, is Mr. Detective going to send me? However, children like us, they won't sell it to us, right? ”

"You really hold a grudge..."Kaedehara complained, Gray Hara was obviously still angry about being rejected by the makeup artist with Ayumi before, "I can go and ask the doctor for help..."

Naturally, the money is his own.

Even aside from the money spent on the organization, he also has a lot of gains on the stock market.

"Forget it, let's do it another day," Gray Yuan Wai hesitated for a moment and put the bag back, "If the doctor comes over to help, he'll have to buy it for the children..."

Whether or not to buy expensive gifts for the children was the doctor's own business, and she didn't want to let this affect the doctor's choice.

As she spoke, she heard her detective badge ring.

Kaedehara's too.

Noticing that Kaedehara had already picked up the detective badge, Gray Hara's mourning didn't take his badge, but just leaned closer to Kaedehara and listened with him.

Conan's somewhat anxious voice came from inside.

"Someone was stabbed in the restaurant street on the tenth floor just now!"
