26 Detective mystery is here!
◎The most powerful junior brother◎
"Hello sister, my name is Mao Lilan, you can just call me Xiaolan." Xiaolan looked well-behaved.
"Yeah, how are you, Xiaolan~" Hanano Chiheko said with a smile.
Kudo Shinichi: "Kudo Shinichi is a detective."
"Detective?" Hanano Chihoko raised an eyebrow, then remembered something. "Is it like Detective Mori?"
"Of course not!" Kudo Shinichi's tender face was full of the seriousness of a little adult: "What I want to be is a famous detective like Sherlock Holmes!"
As soon as Kudo Shinichi finished speaking, he was met with a slam from Maori Kogoro: "How can you talk like that, you little brat? What's wrong with a detective like me?"
Mao Lilan protected Kudo Shinichi, "Dad, Shinichi didn't say anything bad about you."
"Damn uncle." Kudo Shinichi muttered.
"Okay, okay~" Hanano Chihoko said with a mosquito-repellent look to smooth things over.
Zhu Fujingguang glanced at the seats that were already occupied by other customers and said, "If that's the case, why don't we go together?"
Maori Kogoro was still hesitant, but now he smiled very amiably, "No problem, hahahaha!"
"If that's the case," Mao Lilan took out her lottery ticket, "you can use this discount coupon, it's 50% off."
Shinide Tomoaki smiled at Mao Lilan and said, "If I remember correctly, the probability of winning the discount in this lottery should be low."
Mao Lilan was confused: "Really? But I want to win both this time and the last time."
Hanano Chiheko, who was worrying about the menu, shuddered when she heard this. "So, Xiaolan is always lucky, right?"
Mao Lilan thought for a moment and said, "If I also count the first prize at the Chinese Restaurant and the invitation to Chinatown, it should be okay."
"That's impossible!" Hanano Chihezi held Xiaolan's hands with both hands and said more sincerely than proposing: "If Xiaolan doesn't mind, can you be friends with me?"
"Hey, hey, hey..." Kudo Shinichi looked at Hanano - the weird sister - Chihoko suspiciously with a protective expression on his face.
"Sister, are you trying to trick Xiaolan into going to the lottery with you?"
"Huh?" Hanano Chiheko doubted herself for a moment, "Is it that obvious?"
Kudo Shinichi said, with three lines on his forehead, "Because... my sister's desire for money is practically written on her face."
"That doesn't matter." Xiaolan held Hanano Chihezi back, "Sister likes me, I like sister, so next time we can go to the lottery together and have fun together."
Hanano Chihezi was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears: "Xiaolan, you are so kind, wuwuwu, come, today is my treat, Xiaolan, you should eat more delicious food!"
We've only known each other for a short while, and you're already treating me to a meal, holding hands, and all that...
Shinichi Kudo glanced at the two people's clasped hands, and always felt that his whole body was emitting sourness. Then he looked again and saw that it was Kogoro Mouri who was as outgoing as Xiaolan.
He had already drunk several bottles of beer at this time and was completely relaxed. He pulled Aida Tomoaki next to him and chatted about current affairs and horse racing.
Hearing Hanano Chiheko and Xiaolan mention "eating delicious food", Zhu Fushi Jingguang asked: "Does Xiaolan like to eat cake?"
"Oh, by the way, the cakes made by my master are delicious. I must let you try them someday!" As the apprentice of Morufushi Kagemitsu, Hanano Chiheko praised him without any reservation at this time.
"Oh!" Xiaolan was stunned by Hanano Chiheko's coaxing, "But... won't that trouble my brother?"
Zhu Fujingguang smiled gently at Xiaolan, "I feel honored to be able to make a cake for such a lovely child. How could I find it troublesome?"
At this time, not only Xiaolan, but even Hanano Chiheko who was watching on the side, felt a warm aura emanating from Zhufu Jingguang.
Ah, this man is so charming, Hanano Chiheko exclaimed.
...Why are there more and more dangerous factors? Kudo Shinichi shook his head, trying to divert his attention.
Chihoko Hanano suddenly felt someone pulling her sleeve, and she lowered her head and met the inquiring eyes.
"Sister eats so little because she has already had a meal, right?" Kudo Shinichi reasoned confidently.
Hanano Chihezi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Because..." Kudo Shinichi twitched his nose. "Even though there's no teriyaki chicken ordered on the table, my sister smells of it. Judging from the intensity of the smell and the time of lunch, if I'm not mistaken, the address my sister had last time was probably that famous restaurant not far from the street, right?"
"Wow! I didn't expect Detective Kudo to be so powerful."
Hanano Chiheko sighed and pushed the fish soup towards Kudo Shinichi, "Eat more to nourish your brain. I'm really looking forward to the day when you become a famous detective like Sherlock Holmes."
Shinichi Kudo, who was only in the fifth grade of elementary school, was trusted by an adult he had only met once for the first time, and his eyes lit up.
"I definitely will, and by then my self-introduction will be changed to... I'm the famous detective Kudo Shinichi!"
"Hey, you little brat is bragging again." The drunk Kogoro Mouri burped and muttered drowsily while lying on the table.
Tomoaki Aride is a little better than Kogoro Mori, but the look in his eyes when he looks at Chihoko Hanano is a little dazed.
Hanano Chiheko leaned forward and waved her hand in front of Akaizu Tomoaki, "Junior brother, do you still recognize me?"
Arata Tomoaki's scattered gaze finally focused. "I know. She's... my senior sister."
Hanano Chiheko breathed a sigh of relief and said to Morofushi Kagemitsu beside her, "It's okay."
Because of his position, Morifushi Kagemitsu was not abused too much by Maori Kogoro. Seeing this, he smiled helplessly and said to Hanano Chiheko, "I was inconsiderate before. You must be exhausted from running back and forth like this."
Hanano Chihoko realized that Kudo Shinichi's reasoning had been overheard by Morofushi Kagemitsu, and she smiled resignedly, "It's not that hard. Since I promised, I have to do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kudo Shinichi beside him whispered to Hanano Chihoko: "Actually, sister is also very lonely."
Hanano Chiheko paused, "What?"
"What I mean is that the feeling of being needed among companions or friends is actually very important to me. So, I would rather spend time and energy to deal with everyone than give it up easily, even if it's just one person."
Hanano Chihoko, whose pain point was easily touched, looked at Kudo Shinichi with a complicated look in her eyes, "Little brother, you are really perceptive."
Kudo Shinichi met Hanano Chihoko's gaze without flinching or avoiding it, his eyes full of confidence. "It seems my reasoning is correct."
"Shinichi, sister, are you... okay?" Xiaolan noticed that the atmosphere between the two was a little strange and asked.
"Of course!" Compared to the little detective who is extremely curious about the people and things around him, getting along with a kind and simple girl like Xiaolan is much easier.
Hanano Chiheko shifted her attention and looked at Xiaolan with an auntie smile, "Are you full? Do you want to order anything else?"
Xiaolan felt relieved and waved her hand quickly, "Thank you, sister, that's enough."
Hanano Chihoko glanced at the drunk Maori Kogoro and touched Xiaolan's head with pity, "What a good child..."
Later, after sending Maori and his group into the car, Hanano Chiheko waved and watched the car drive away.
Tomoaki Arata sat on a chair by the roadside to calm down.
"It seems that our shopping plan has to be put on hold for now." Chihoko Hanano tucked in the half-fallen scarf of Tomoaki Aida.
Suddenly, Shinide Tomoaki grabbed the wrist that Hanano Chiheko had extended in front of him and said with great seriousness, "Senior Sister, I'm very happy to be your junior apprentice during this period."
Hanano Chiheko was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat at a loss as to what to do. "Why...are you suddenly saying this?"
Shinide Tomoaki gave a wry smile and let go of Hanano Chiheko, "Nothing, I'm just a little drunk today. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Senior Sister."
Hanano Chihezi curled her lips and said, "This is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, you are my most outstanding junior apprentice. I always see you being meticulous on weekdays. Now it's good to be confused occasionally."
Tomoaki Niide looked at Chihoko Hanano for a while, then suddenly closed his eyes and fell forward without caring.
Morofushi Kagemitsu quickly supported Aishide Tomoaki, and Hanano Chihoko also hurried over to help.
After a lot of trouble, the three finally returned to school.
After settling Aida Tomoaki, Hanano Chiheko breathed a sigh of relief. Morofushi Kagemitsu said considerately, "I'm going back now. You should rest for a while as well."
Hanano Chihezi nodded and said, "Thank you, Jingguang. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how I would have carried my junior brother back by myself."
Zhu Fujingguang smiled indifferently and said before leaving: "Merry Christmas."
Hanano Chihoko reacted for a moment, her eyes soft, "Well, Merry Christmas."
The rest time is always short. It was almost six o'clock in the evening and it was already dark.
Because it was Christmas Eve, there were a lot more people in front of the cinema than usual, and Chihoko Hanano was almost squeezed forward by the crowd.
Seeing that the movie was about to start, Hanano Chiheko still hadn't found the person. She couldn't help but feel anxious, "This shouldn't be the case. Golden Retrievers should be easy to spot."
Hanano Chiheko muttered and searched the crowd again, but still found nothing.
Just at this moment, the uncle on the left pushed towards Hanano Chiheko. Hanano Chiheko was caught off guard and her whole body suddenly tilted to the right.
With a muffled groan, Hanano Chiheko realized very clearly that she had bumped into someone, and even bumped into someone's arms.
Chihoko Hanano: ...Oh my God!
