Later that day, at the Orange House, members of the Teenage Detective Corps after school gathered around Maoriran with the garden.

"Look, this is a photo of you winning the Kanto Karate Tournament before," Sonoko reminded Ran as she held a thick album and pointed to a photo on one of the pages. "Your opponent at the time was supposed to be that guy from Kabito High School, do you still have an impression? You almost capsized in the gutter, but you won in the end! ”

"......" Mao Lilan's expression was very embarrassed, and finally shook his head apologetically after thinking about it to no avail. Sorry, I'm still not impressed. ”

"......" Sonoko Suzuki's expression was quite embarrassed. I don't remember this, but ...... Let's try this? ”

With that, she flipped to another page and pointed to one of the photos. "Do you still have an impression of this?"

It was a group photo taken when Moriran took Sonoko out to walk her boyfriend, and unlike the introverted Mauriran, Sonoko put an elbow on Shinichi Kudo, who bent down to make room for the two girls behind him, and built his very smug smile on Shinichi Kudo's bitter melon face.

"Uh......" Even the already smaller parties have even let out a moan that is unbearable to look back on.

However, in addition to the gloating narrator and the participants who are unable to look back on the past, Maorilan, who had no reaction to everything, is once again abnormal.

"He ......" muttered Maoliran, staring at Kudo Shinichi's bitter melon face. New ...... Garden, Shinichi is his name? ”

"Do you remember him?" Sonoko asked in surprise, and Conan's face showed a look of surprise. "He's Shinichi Kudo, it's your husband, do you remember him?"

"I don't know how I said his name, it's ...... Suddenly my mind flashed. Moriran looked at the portrait of Kudo Shinichi with a complicated expression. I don't know why, looking at him feels familiar, and ...... It's a peace of mind, a sense of security that can be entrusted to him with a lot of things. ”

"Can you call Shinichi back?" Ayumi asked. "I remember that Shinichi brother is not traveling all over the country now, dealing with cases? You should be able to call him back, right? Maybe after Sister Xiaolan saw him, she could remember everything? ”

"If you could get that bastard here, how could you spend so much time doing these things!" The garden was dissatisfied. "I contacted that guy before, but he won't answer the phone!"

Qianyu's face showed a somewhat helpless expression, and at the same time subconsciously looked in the direction of Conan.

The person he was watching was now silent, sitting on the sofa with his head bowed, only his nails were deeply embedded in the skin of his arms, and the blood marks that were slowly torn open expressed his current pain.

"Conan," at that moment, Maoliran suddenly asked in a sly voice. "You...... Can you tell me about Shinichi Kudo you know? ”

"Huh?" Not only Conan, but even Qianyu was stunned.

"Sister Xiaolan, why are you asking me this question?" Conan's nails stopped tearing, and instead stabbed deeper into his skin, forcibly suppressing his emotions, and asked.

"Because ......," said Maolilan, with a very gentle expression. Actually, I just wanted to ask someone casually, and then I chose you, as for why I chose you...... Actually, I don't know, maybe there is no special reason? So, what kind of person is Shinichi Kudo? ”

Silence, the audience was silent, until Qian Yu even felt that the atmosphere was a little oppressive, Conan suddenly stood up and said this while walking in the direction of the Xiaoice box in the living room.

"I think that the new brother should be a ...... People who like you very much," Conan stepped on a small stool and opened the door to the upper level, standing in front of the refrigerator with his back to everyone. "No matter what happens, he will always be the one who puts you first. Though...... He may have a stupid mouth, can't speak, and a lot of the time has low EQ, but ...... He must have kept you in his heart all the time. ”

With that, Conan took out enough drinks from the refrigerator to hold a box of drinks, returned to everyone with them, and distributed them with his head down.

"......" When Qianyu took the drink, he glanced at Conan deeply, but didn't say anything.

Maoliland, on the other hand, is not so subtle.

"You ......" took the drink handed over by Conan, Mao Lilan did not start to drink directly with a straw like the garden next to him, but stared at Conan's expression with his head down. How do you seem to ...... Crying? ”

"......" Conan pulled up his glasses and wiped his eyes gently. It's okay, it's just ...... It's just that I think of Sister Xiaolan that you have lost your memory, so you are a little sad. ”

With that, he returned to his seat with red eyes and drank the last box of his drink to himself. "Leave me alone, I'll just wait a minute or two."

Ayumi picked up a tissue from the table and helped Conan wipe away tears.

……

At the same time, the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Now, the fourth victim has appeared," Officer Twilight said to Kogoro Mori and Eiri Fei in a very serious manner. However, unlike the previous ones, the victim is not a person involved in this case, but only a person who has stored the belongings of a person on his behalf. And according to Officer Sato, who has woken up, remembers the suspect information that he showed you and I don't know why part of it was destroyed, the person in question was not a police officer, but one of the people who was investigated at the time of Dr. Nito's crime. ”

"Is this a little different from the previous killing pattern?" Fei Yingli raised her own questions. "Killing a police officer can hinder their investigation, but what's the use of killing a suspect?"

"We're still investigating," Officer Twilight signaled that they didn't stop there. "And we can't even be sure now that it was the same killer – while it's almost impossible for two killers to target the same person in the same case, we still have to consider the possibility, because this time, the killer's modus operandi was a bomb attack, which has never been done before."

"At the same time, we have officially started the search for two other people who are also on the list of suspects. First, if they are murderers, they can be arrested. And secondly, if they are not murderers, then we can protect their lives by doing so. ”
