Chapter 75
"The THREE CLUB case has been solved. Mr. Kuroda asked me to tell you that we can meet when we have time."
After saying this, Yuya Kazami shut up and drove calmly.
The gray car sped along the highway at a strange atmosphere and speed, and finally arrived at the underground garage of the Trojan Apartment.
Yuya Kazami took the two shopping bags printed with supermarket and bookstore logos to the elevator, and after getting the approval of his boss, he stepped on the accelerator and left the place of trouble.
He looked back and saw that the light in his boss' room was on.
Then it suddenly dimmed.
Toru Amuro pulled the heavy curtains to block out the colorful outside world.
He stared at Kitahara Yuki who was sleeping soundly for a long time, until he was brought back to his senses by the other party's sideways movement, and then he closed the door lightly.
Click -
the sound of the metal buckle connecting disappeared into the sweet dream.
**
Kitahara Yuki was awakened by the wet touch on his neck. He opened his eyes and met Hase Hikaru's dark gaze, and they touched and separated in the air.
The voice of his younger brother came to his ears, "Brother can sleep for a while."
"Yeah." Kitahara Yuki responded coldly, his eyes following the pair of light golden eyes.
Hase Hikaru wore a dark green baseball jacket that made him look younger, with a cute pony printed on it. When he tilted his head and called his brother, he looked even younger.
Kitahara Yukito looked at his brother for a while, then glanced at the slightly damp corner of his clothes, "Is it raining outside?"
He touched his neck.
Damn.
What did that touch just now?
"It's raining. Xiao Xing is really amazing. You can guess this."
Hase Hikaru opened the heavy curtains, and the gray sky came into view. Scattered raindrops fell and hit the railings, making tiny dripping sounds.
The humid water vapor in the air made Kitahara Yuki frown, and his mouth felt sticky and a little stuffy.
He lifted the quilt and walked towards the bathroom, "Brother, don't talk to me in a coaxing tone, it will make me want to bully you."
As he spoke, he pulled out the third drawer in the lower right corner of the bathroom cabinet.
This is where Amuro took out the disposable toiletries last time. According to the habit of the blonde police officer, they should not be moved.
Kitahara Yuki took out a disposable toothbrush and tore open the package.
Hase Hikaru leaned against the door frame of the bathroom and had a full view of Kitahara Yuki's skilled movements. "Do you often stay here? You seem to be familiar with where things are stored."
His tone was unfriendly. To be honest, it is not conducive to family harmony.
Kitahara Yuki paused, chose his words carefully, and said slowly: "You can figure out this kind of thing with a little thought. There is no need to come here often."
"Really?" Amuro Toru stood at the door and asked.
Kitahara Yuki: ...
The tone was even more unfriendly. Answering 'yes' is not conducive to the unity of the red team.
He took a deep breath and tried to change the subject, "I'm hungry."
Three minutes later, Kitahara Yuki sat at the dining table as he wished, facing Amuro Toru, with Hase Hikari sitting on his left and Sugawa Rin on his right.
This situation might as well be at the door of the bathroom -
Kitahara Yuki tightly grasped the spoon in his hand, and just before it was bent, he relaxed his strength and pushed Hase Hikari away, "Stay away from me! Don't disturb me while I'm eating."
Hase Hikari finally sat down obediently and scanned the food in front of Kitahara Yuki.
Green vegetable meatball soup, blanched okra, and a small bowl of white rice.
He looked at Amuro Toru, and said with a rising tone, "My brother likes 21-day-old chicken greens, he doesn't eat greens."
Kitahara Yuki, who was stuffing a piece of greens into his mouth with chopsticks, couldn't throw it away or eat it, which made people feel upset. Fortunately,
Amuro Toru took over Hase Hikaru's words, "It may be that the taste of my cooking is different. Kou doesn't like greens now."
The nail in his words was neither soft nor hard, but it made Hase Hikaru retract his smile and stare at Amuro Toru coldly.
The lively atmosphere began to quiet down, and there was a sense of uneasiness that a storm was about to come.
Amuro Toru turned a blind eye and picked up a meatball with a serving chopstick and put it in Kitahara Yuki's bowl, "Eat this first, and I'll make chicken greens and meatball soup for you next time."
The meatballs were very elastic, and Kitahara Yuki tried to pick them up with chopsticks for a while, but failed.
He then aimed the top end, inserted it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Toru Amuro added: "The espresso is already in the refrigerator. Kazami has my spare key here. You can always find him if you want to come over for a drink."
Thoughtful Zero.
Kitahara Yuki chewed slowly, the fresh and fragrant taste exploded in his taste buds, he nodded randomly, and began to finish the food.
With the corner of his eye, he noticed the obscure eye contact between the other three people present.
Can't see, can't see anything.
Now he is like a blind man.
After the meal, the three of them did their job. Toru Amuro stopped Kitahara Yuki who was about to go into the kitchen to wash the dishes, Rin Sugawa handed him a tissue, and Hikaru Hase called him brother in a resentful tone.
Kitahara Yuki felt like a little waste, so he stood up and threw himself into the sofa. He picked up Haro, who was holding his two front paws, and leaned lazily against the back of the sofa.
"Did you take the initiative to confess the reason for looking for me, or did you let me guess?" Kitahara Yuki looked at Hase Hikaru, and his bony hands unconsciously wrapped around Haro's white hair.
Woof woof -
Haro barked, and found a comfortable position in Kitahara Yuki's arms to curl up his body.
He patted Haro's hairy head, "It's so heavy, you should lose weight."
It was a bit uncomfortable because it pressed on his stomach.
Kitahara Yuki carefully moved Haro's position.
The dog licked the fingertips in front of him.
Hase Hikaru didn't answer Kitahara Yuki's question right away, but pointed at the dog in his arms and said, "Brother, do you like puppies? We can raise one together."
Kitahara Yuki ignored his brother's question and talked about something else.
After a while, Hase Hikaru compromised: "The popularity ranking is almost here."
Kitahara Yuki raised his eyelids, and the system screen showed a countdown of [23 minutes and 51 seconds].
He made a decision, put down the Harrow, and said to Amuro Toru in the kitchen: "Zero, we're leaving first."
The sound of water stopped, and Amuro Toru walked out, with a slight stain on his apron.
He glanced coldly at Hase Hikaru and Sugawa Rin from an angle that Kitahara Yuki couldn't see, turned around and said to Kitahara Yuki with a gentle face: "Okay, wait for me for a while."
After saying that, he entered the room, and a moment later he was holding a biodegradable bag with the bookstore logo printed on it.
"Here."
After returning to the apartment, Kitahara Yuki immediately unzipped his coat, and the sprint jacket was accurately thrown into Sugawa Rin's arms by him, and then he fell to the sofa in a prone position, and listlessly pulled the pillow to cushion half of his face.
I haven't gotten enough sleep at all.
But there's still Xiaoguang's matter to be solved.
Hurry up, dig out a mystery to cheer him up.
Kitahara Yuki impatiently kicked Hase Hikaru's calf with very little force, "If you have something to say, just say it quickly, don't force me to pry your mouth open."
Hase Hikaru didn't answer immediately, he squatted down, his light golden eyes curved into crescents, his arms gently held Kitahara Yuki, and the hug was gone in an instant.
"Xiaoguang, I miss you so much."
After waiting for a while, he didn't see the same nostalgic emotion in Kitahara Yuki's eyes.
He was stunned for a moment and complained, "You are such a jerk brother."
Kitahara Yuki sneered and said, "Don't act. You are not the kind of person who gets sad about the passing of time. Do you want to divert my attention in this way?"
He straightened his upper body and gently patted the back of Hase Hikaru's neck with his right hand. "There was no subconscious reaction as expected. It seems that your purpose is not to divert my attention. But your breathing quickened——"
Now he was in high spirits. His dear brother had personally given him a puzzle from thousands of miles away.
He couldn't refuse this gift.
[Countdown 0 seconds, popularity ranking being generated]
[Kitahara Yuki (main body) popularity ranking: NO.17]
[Hase Hikaru (vest 1) popularity ranking: NO.10]
[Sugawa Rin (vest 2) popularity ranking: NO.##]
[Shimizu Issuke (vest 3) popularity ranking: NO.##] [
Tsukimi Sankō (vest 4) popularity ranking: NO.##]
[Vest 1 ranked in the top ten, debuff not effective]
Kitahara Yuki glanced at the rankings from 2 to 4. Is it garbled?
After a moment's thought, he stared at Hase Hikari and said, "I've always been curious. If you care about me so much, why didn't you come to see me during the first popularity ranking?"
After a pause, he added, "The second time was the same, but less than half an hour earlier. This doesn't match your behavior pattern."
She was worried about him, but her behavior didn't seem to show that she cared about him that much.
This doesn't make sense.
At this time, Sugawa Rin took two cans of black coffee and placed them in front of Kitahara Yuki and Hase Hikari respectively. He sat on a sofa chair nearby with a glass of freshly squeezed bitter melon juice in front of him.
Kitahara Yuki picked up the black coffee and skillfully exchanged it with the bitter melon juice in front of Sugawa Rin. He slightly raised his chin and took a big sip of the green juice.
The taste receptors at the root of the tongue receive the bitter taste, stimulating the nerves, and the brain begins to work at high speed.
Ignoring the silence of Hase Hikari, he continued, "Unless you understand the system, know the popularity ranking rules of the system, and know what debuff is. Under the condition that I will not be harmed, you choose to hide behind the computer screen and observe."
All right.
Hase Hikari pulled the ring of the can and handed it to Kitahara Yuki.
It is very interesting to watch his brother solve the mystery.
It is dazzling, and it only takes a look or a word to easily grab all his attention.
Kitahara Yuki took the black coffee and glanced at Hase Hikari lightly, "Straightforward flattery."
Hase Hikari chuckled.
"And the rankings of Rin, Issu, and Tsukimi Yamakami are messed up. Is it because of the update of Detective? They haven't appeared yet." Kitahara Yuki asked.
Hase Hikari nodded.
"So -" Kitahara Yuki paused for a moment, "Do you know how often the system updates the plot of Detective Conan? It's specifically stuck at tenth place in the second ranking."
He remembered how Xiaoguang solved three cases a day when he first arrived at Detective Conan.
Did he start planning so early?
But what if it was earlier, he already knew everything.
He connected all the information and solved the mystery.
"Xiaoguang, do you choose to confess voluntarily or let me tell everything?" Kitahara Yuki put down his black coffee, took two quick steps, locked the door of the apartment with the key, and then looked at Hase Hikari from a distance.
The light of the sky broke through the dark clouds and hit the light brown wooden floor, dividing it into two spaces, one bright and one dark.
