As night began to fall, the long-abandoned Kudo house was lit up for the first time in a long time.

Dr. Asasa of the neighbor's house leaned against the glass window on the side of Kudo's house and opened the curtain with one hand.

Behind the window stood a tea-haired woman, slender and short-haired. Her temperament is light, with a little cold that rejects people thousands of miles away, and her lake-blue eyes are flashing with a lot of thoughts, but it is impossible to see through and see through.

Her temperament naturally forms a vacuum belt around her body that is difficult to approach, and wherever she goes, she will undoubtedly be the focus of the crowd's attention.

Shiho Miyano lifted the curtains.

"Kudo, he went home first?" She frowned slightly, "This guy ......"

"Shinichi's body hasn't recovered yet?" Behind the long table, a busy Dr. Asa looked up, "This is a thing! The longer the effect lasts, doesn't it mean that the antidote is more effective? ”

Shiho Miyano didn't refute this sentence, but said, "It's very troublesome, and I have to continue to ask for leave from Teidan Elementary School tomorrow." ”

During this time, due to the pressure of the organization, and Conan's identity was almost exposed in front of Mao Lilan, Gray Yuan Ai has asked for leave many times to help him clean up the mess, five out of seven days are not at school, and two days are weekends.

She put down the curtains, turned around and said, "I haven't changed back for a long time, but I'm a little unaccustomed to this look." ”

"Instead of taking time off," Dr. Asa said cheerfully, "why not take care of the children?" I heard that you have been sick for so long, they must be coming to visit. ”

"Say I'm not there, where do I go, anyway, make up a place they can't find."

Shiho Miyano returned to Dr. Asasa's experiment, and as he sat down, his figure staggered and swayed.

Gray Yuan Ai's body is small and lightweight, this chair has been specially adjusted by the doctor, and now she has changed back to Miyano Shiho, and finds that the chair surface is much shorter than she imagined, and the sitting posture she is used to will be unstable.

Dr. Asa didn't pay attention to this detail, but Shiho Miyano changed to another chair to sit on.

Behind the black-rimmed glasses, she was a little thoughtful.

The curtains had been closed, and Shiho Miyano turned around just before the movement in Kudo's house occurred, naturally missing the two figures from the neighborhood.

Okiya sent them off, and as he walked down the road, Conan sneaked a glance up.

Tang Zeyu didn't speak.

The lights were lit on the main road not far away, and the warm yellow light was reflected in his dark eyes, like a spark lit.

At this time, he was close and far away.

Tang Zeyu asked him to agree to accompany Xiaolan to watch a movie. Conan, who had just hung up the phone, didn't understand, but now he slowly came back to his senses, and felt that he had vaguely figured out something.

On the road of love, Tang Zeyu has been encouraging him to move forward, not to hesitate because of many concerns, which will hurt the people who are waiting.

It's not such an esoteric truth, but the people who are trapped in it are often obsessed.

But while encouraging Kudo Shinichi to face it directly, Tang Zeyu himself chose the opposite path, his evasion and self-deception are so obvious that he can see clearly when he closes his eyes.

- Yu Karasawa can read and understand the micro-expressions, and in Shuichi Akai's answer, he can tell at a glance whether he lied or not.

So Tang Zeyu chose not to watch it.

And although Akai Shuichi's answer is no, in fact, the two know that the same period mentioned by Yu Karasawa has dropped to zero, and Akai Shuichi has definitely seen him in the organization.

The silent dark tide is raging, and the useless whitewash is flat. It is difficult for Conan to understand Tang Zeyu's love in an instant, the life of a high school detective is still young, and the only parting experience comes from his parents and Xiaolan...... He can be contacted at any time, and he is also by his side as Conan. The fact that his friends from childhood were all by his side made it difficult for Conan to feel the truth about this almost tragic betrayal.

As the older one, Tang Zeyu's multi-line pattern is more lenient, and this is the first time Conan has seen him so immature, or so to speak, naïve; At the same time, for the first time, he was confronted with the pain of a knife's edge, his tenderness and silence, and so did the pain.

The young and vigorous high school detective still doesn't understand the meaning behind this adult silence, but if it is compared, Conan thinks he should not want to tonight

Alone.

When closing the courtyard of Kudo's garden, Conan tugged at Karasawa Yu's sleeve.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Karazawa, it's late now, do you want to stay at Dr. Asasa's house for a night first?" Conan proposed, "If I go back now, I should disturb Sister Lan's rest, so let's all stay with Dr. Asasa." ”

He almost wrote "I bear you" on his face, looking at Conan's blue eyes, Tang Zeyu smiled.

"No, I'm fine."

After transferring the little detective's note, Yushun Karasawa brought up another topic: "Shuichi Akai, when did he know your identity?" ”

"Shortly after the investigation," Conan recalled, following his words, "Actually, my identity is not difficult to associate, right?" Mr. Akai asked, and I didn't hide it. ”

"It's really not that hard."

Karasawa Yu repeated it flatly, Conan always felt that he was too high-profile when he appeared as Kudo Shinichi, but as soon as Karasawa Yu changed his words, he immediately asked another question: "So you let him live in Kudo House, do you want him to protect Gray Hara?" ”

Talking about business, Conan nodded solemnly.

"Yes. The organization has been looking for Shirley's fall, we have faced Belmode before, and she promised not to divulge the matter of Ashbara's Waiver, but I still don't let it go. ”

"That's right," Tang Zeyu nodded: "It turns out that her code name is Shirley." ”

"Huh?" Conan's beanie blinked.

When he thought about it, he hadn't actually explained the matter of Gray Plains to Tang Zeyu, because he had been together for a long time, he forgot about it!

Conan's head was full of black lines, and he quickly picked out a few key pieces of information.

"She used to be a tissue culture scientist, named Shiho Miyano, and she also has a sister named Akemi Miyano, and the drug APTX-4869 that made me smaller was developed by that guy."

"She's also very sensitive to the aura of the organization, and I didn't tell her about Akai Sen

Raw," Conan said, "I don't particularly want her to be involved in organizing things unless it is necessary." ”

Tang Zeyu looked at him with a slightly puzzled gaze, and Conan explained along with his words: "Actually, getting smaller is for her...... Instead, it could be a new beginning, and she didn't want to regain her old identity, in fact, I could see it. ”

"I want to change back to Kudo Shinichi, but Inlan is still waiting for me, and I have to go back, but she's different. Her...... Parents, sisters, these people have passed away, and their original identities are actually not fetters, because they have been organizing monitoring work, and they may not even have friends. ”

While waiting to open, the two of them stopped in front of Dr. Asasa's hospital, and the electronic bell quietly lit up a red light.

This bell is actually able to be heard, and what is happening, the people in it can hear it clearly without much effort.

Shiho Miyano held his coffee, leaned forward with one hand on his chest, and quietly listened to the words coming from the radio.

“…… Now that she's gray, there's a juvenile detective group to accompany her and a lively one, and Dr. Asasa, who is always unconscious, living as a smaller, I think she should be more open. ”

"Is that so?" Tang Zeyu nodded.

Conan finished his tirade, his tone changed from firm to a little unconfident, and he looked up and asked him, "Brother Tang Ze, what do you think?" ”

"I think so," Tang Zeyu put one hand in his pocket, "You are sensitive to the little girl's thoughts, why haven't I seen you open up some other places." ”

“？”

Conan was suddenly stabbed lightly, his blue eyes were full of confusion, and Tang Zeyu rubbed his head with a smile.

"It's okay, that's fine. By the way, don't you think this one has been open for a long time? ”

Conan turned his head and found that the courtyard had already been opened. The red light of the electronic bell went out silently, and Tang Zeyu glanced over there, but Conan didn't pay attention.

*

In Dr. Asasa's hall, Conan was surprised, "Gray Plains? ”

Sitting at the long table was not a tea-haired little girl, but a young tea-haired woman. Shiho Miyano has a deputy on the bridge of his nose

Black-rimmed glasses, a coffee cup in his hand, the cup bubbling hot. She looked up and looked at Conan and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Although she returned to her adult appearance, her tone was still gray, with the impatience and ridicule that little girls always have. Conan said, "Didn't you say that you would use me to test the antidote first if there were any sequelae?" Why did you use it too? ”

"Thanks to a certain detective who was busy with a relationship," said Shiho Miyano, "while camping, the murderer locked us in a cabin and set us on fire." If I hadn't cut the chains with an axe, you'd probably never see the detective group for many years. ”

Conan's expression was sluggish, and Rao was he imagined that in the middle of the afternoon, the young detective group actually encountered another murder.

Tonight's Miyano Shiho was particularly sharp in his words, and Conan was unable to catch it several times. The old god Tang Zeyu, who knew the real reason, did not say a word on the ground, and on the way back, Conan, who was confused by the second monk, could only blame the reason for his absence when they were in distress.

He said at the corner of the stairs: "Brother Tang Ze, I'm going back!" ”

On the sidewalk at the bottom, the figure of the smoky gray plaid scarf also waved his hand.

The lights on the second floor of the Maori Detective Agency are bright, Maori Kogoro is drunk and unconscious on the sofa, Maori Lan has just gotten up from the table, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table have not yet had time to be collected.

Conan closed the one behind him, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned: "Sister Xiaolan? ”

He looked at the clock on the wall, where it was half past ten.

It's so late, what is the end of the meal?

"Ah, Conan, you're back!" Ran looked up from the table and showed him a bag on the couch, and Conan walked over to find two casual shirts, one red and one blue.

Xiaolan's voice came from afar in the kitchen: "Which one do you think Shinichi will like?" ”

What, is it a gift for me?

Conan turned his head, and the immature child's voice shouted, "-I think Brother Shinichi likes red the most!" ”

"Looks like we're thinking the same thing," Xiaolan's tone was lively and brisk, "then give him the red one!" ”

"I made an appointment to go to the cinema on the other weekend, and when the show ended, I wanted to give this to him." Mao Lilan came out of the kitchen with a rag and said while wiping the dining table, "I was in a hurry to hang up the phone before, and I forgot to ask him what color he liked, so I bought both of them together." ”

Conan smiled softly.

Of course we thought the same thing, he thought, because red is your favorite color.

A cold wind blew unexpectedly from behind him, and Conan shivered.

There was a window on the second floor that was not closed, from where the wind was blowing, and there was a chair by the window, and there were still signs of dents on the chair surface, and Conan walked over.

Excellent reasoning ability, the moment he looked at the vision in front of him, he had already recognizable what had happened here: Mao Lilan, who was sitting by the window, stubbornly looked upstairs against the cold wind, looking for a familiar figure who had missed the appointment. Almost ignorant, Conan's gaze turned to the window frame, and there was a little powder scattered in the recess, and Lan hadn't even removed her makeup at that time.

Conan's whole body stiffened, and more and more details came to mind: Ran had a nasal voice when she spoke, and a few muffled coughs in the kitchen...... If it weren't for the phone call that Tang Zeyu persuaded him to call Lan, how long would Mao Lilan have waited here?!

This fool!

No wonder Karasawa would refuse his offer to stay at Dr. Asasa's house tonight, because he knew that there was another person who needed Conan's company even more!

As he silently restored his chair and closed the window, a thought suddenly popped into Conan's mind.

Mr. Akai's phrase "more valid" may not be groundless, only those who have experienced it can calmly and sharply point out the essence of the problem.

was taken out of the office by the public security at noon, and the last thing Tang Zeyu did was to take care of a rose.

Brother Karazawa.

…… Has he waited for or been waited for by anyone?
