Chapter 53 Transfer Student

…

"But he's really handsome! It's a pity you didn't see him! I guess that school uniform belongs to Aomori High School next door!"

In the first-year classroom of Teitan High School, Suzuki Sonoko was enthusiastically sharing her experiences in the restaurant with the girl sitting behind her.

The girl at the back desk twitched her lips: "Yuanzi...it's not that I don't trust you, it's that you always exaggerate like this."

"Exaggeration? I'm serious every time! Isn't the handsome guy I told you about last time handsome?"

Girl: "Uh...keep your voice down!"

Suzuki Sonoko stared at the girl and said, "Just tell me if he's handsome or not."

The girl silently covered her face with a book and whispered, "He is handsome, but you don't have to keep telling me that for three days! Now I am afraid of the word 'handsome'!"

Suzuki Sonoko raised her eyebrows unhappily, "You still don't believe me! Hey, Xiaolan, come and prove it for me. Was I exaggerating this time? Was that boy very handsome?"

Mao Lilan, who was flipping through a book, raised her head and revealed helpless half-moon eyes: "Sonoko, come on again."

"Ran-chan——"

"Hey, hey," Mao Lilan surrendered. She smiled and said, "This time, what Yuanzi said was right. That classmate is really very good-looking."

The girl blinked: "Huh? Is that what Xiaolan said..."

"Hehe! Do you believe me now?" Suzuki Sonoko looked up proudly.

"Yuanzi." A clear male voice suddenly interrupted her.

"What?"

"Have you finished the homework you are going to hand in later?" The boy put down the newspaper in his hand and raised his eyes: "If I am not mistaken, you went out with Xiaolan until very late last night, and you completely forgot about this matter after you went back home."

Suzuki Sonoko's expression froze, and her eyes widened: "Homework? What homework?"

Kudo Shinichi: "So, if you have time to talk about handsome guys here, you might as well catch up on your homework."

The most important thing is that you have to ask Xiaolan this!

I really can't stand her.

Suzuki Sonoko wilted. She turned around and started to pick up her homework from the table.

But halfway through, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and sat up straight with a "snap". She turned her head and looked at Mao Li Ran meaningfully, with a profound look that said "I understand".

Mao Lilan: “?”

Mao Lilan: "Ah, sorry, Sonoko, I didn't expect you to forget your homework... I should have reminded you earlier."

Suzuki Sonoko rolled her eyes affectionately: "Who wants to talk about this!"

She turned around and sat down, this time with a sly smile on her face.

"..." Mao Lilan was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Kudo Shinichi: "Shinichi, is Sonoko okay?"

"I don't know if I have anything to do now. If I don't finish my homework, I'll have trouble soon." Kudo Shinichi lowered his head, changed to a red pen, and continued to mark on the newspaper.

"What are you doing? You seem to be very concerned about news and newspapers lately." Mao Lilan walked over and took a look at the newspaper.

The boy's pen happened to cross a paragraph of text, and Mao Lilan saw that it read:

[The police are investigating whether "Leo" is a member of the Yamada Group.]

"Yamada Group," Mao Lilan tilted her head and thought for a while, "I think I saw it on TV the day before yesterday. It is said to be a large criminal organization. A few days ago, they were exposed in front of the police and many of their members were arrested."

"But what is 'Leo'?" she asked curiously.

Just as Kudo Shinichi was about to explain, he saw the head teacher walked into the classroom. Mao Li Ran hurried back to sit down, and the noisy classroom instantly became quiet.

"Good morning, everyone." said the beautiful female teacher with a smile.

"Good morning."

"I came a little early today because I wanted to announce something to everyone."

The head teacher said: "Today, there will be a transfer student in our class."

"Transfer student?" The students were immediately interested.

"Is he a handsome guy?!" Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were shining with excitement.

"It's a boy." The head teacher said with a smile, "The new student is a bit introverted and not in good health. I hope everyone can get along well with him."

"OK!"

"Teacher, don't worry, we will!"

The students were very enthusiastic.

Seeing this, the head teacher nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the classroom.

Within two minutes, she led a boy back into the classroom.

Suzuki Sonoko had been looking forward to it for a long time, so when the first person came in, she looked at him with wide eyes.

However, when she saw the new classmate for the first time, she was stunned.

"It's you??!"

Kudo Shinichi, who was originally thinking about reporting the incident in the newspaper, looked up in confusion when he heard this.

A black-haired boy, wearing the uniform of Teitan High School, walked in under the light.

He has a pair of deep black eyes and smooth, sharp facial features, which makes him look a little cold.

The boy walked up to the podium and turned around. His very outstanding face turned slightly pale, his expression was restrained and indifferent, and he quickly glanced at everyone before dropping his eyes.

He wore the same school uniform as everyone else, yet he was standing out from the crowd, looking alienated and unapproachable.

The transfer student who looked a bit aloof said, "Hello everyone, my name is..."

"Cough." The head teacher coughed and reminded: "Student Guan Ze, speak louder."

"Hello everyone, my name is..."

After the transfer student finished speaking again, no one in the class still heard it clearly.

"..."Students: "!"

Well, what indifference, what alienation, it turns out you are just shy!!

The head teacher said helplessly: "This is classmate Kazuki Sekizawa, who just transferred from Aomori High School. He is a very good student. We should get along well with each other in the future."

Guan Zehexi bowed and said something. No one could hear it clearly, but it was guessed that it was something like "please take care of me".

There was warm applause in the classroom.

"Student Guan Ze, please sit over there."

Kudo Shinichi, who was shocked by the oncoming visitor, just came to his senses and saw the head teacher pointing in his direction.

"Kudo-san, you don't mind, do you?"

Kudo Shinichi shook his head: "I don't mind."

He watched Guan Ze He Xi walk to the side step by step, look at him for two seconds, then put down his schoolbag and sat down.

Kudo Shinichi still remembered what happened last time, and he subconsciously observed his new deskmate.

The wound on the other person's face was almost healed, and his pale complexion was much better than last time.

The boy carefully put the books in order. Perhaps he noticed his gaze, and he lowered his eyelashes unnaturally and whispered, "Kudo-san, can you please stop looking at me?"

They are both first-year high school students, but he is much taller than Kudo Shinichi. Logically, this should have given him a sense of oppression, but Kudo Shinichi just felt that the other party wanted to avoid him and his head was almost lowered to the table.

——Instead, he was the one who put pressure on the other party.

Kudo Shinichi retracted his gaze: "My name is Kudo Shinichi, do you still remember me?"

"Um."

"What did you mean when you said that to me last time?" asked Kudo Shinichi.

Last time, before leaving, Sekizawa Kazuki said, "Next time before reasoning, you can wait a few more seconds before making a decision."

After much thought, Kudo Shinichi could only think of the only explanation that if he told the truth of his reasoning at the time, it would bring harm to the other party.

However, the detective has an obligation to tell the truth.

Besides, only by speaking out can you get help from the police, right?

My deskmate: "I thought we would never see each other again, and I didn't want you to tell me the result of my reasoning, so I just said it nonsense."

“???” Kudo Shinichi.

ah?

He looked at his desk mate in confusion, but saw that the other person looked serious.

“……”Kudo Shinichi.

Are you really talking nonsense?

——How can you not feel embarrassed at all after talking nonsense?

Awesome.

He couldn't help but ask again: "Let's not talk about that for now. What happened to the injury on your face? If you need help, you'd better tell me."

Guan Zehexi shook his head and whispered, "I don't need help. I did lie about the injury on my face that day, but it was just an accident... Please don't ask anymore."

How is this possible?

Kudo Shinichi frowned, but had no choice but to say, "Okay."

Sekizawa Kazuki spread out the books he would use for the first class and cast his dark eyes on them.

——Kudo Shinichi, a young detective who has helped the police solve many cases, has extraordinary observation and thinking abilities, and has been a friend of Suzuki Sonoko since childhood.

"Hello! Sekizawa!" After the homeroom teacher left, Suzuki Sonoko immediately jumped in front of Sekizawa Kazuki and said, "I'm Suzuki Sonoko, nice to see you again!"

Guan Zehexi said "hmm" and lowered his head: "Hello."

——Suzuki Sonoko, the target of this mission, comes from a prominent family and is the second daughter of the Suzuki Group. She has a straightforward personality and loves to eat desserts.

"Classmate Sekizawa, I'm really sorry that you encountered that kind of thing last time when I switched places with you." Mao Lilan also stepped forward and said.

Guan Zehexi shook his head slightly: "No need to apologize."

——Ran Maori, her father is a private detective, her mother is a lawyer, she is a close friend of Suzuki Sonoko and is good at karate.

These three people are the core of this mission.

Sekizawa Kazuki - Miyagawa Rei, were prepared for this mission to be a long-term one.

He took out several boxes of chocolates from his schoolbag, pretended to be hesitant and determined, and handed them to the three people one by one.

"Huh?" Mao Lilan was a little surprised.

"For me?" Suzuki Sonoko was very excited.

Miyakawa Ling said calmly: "It's a gift you should give to make friends."

"?" The three of them looked at him in surprise.

Every word this classmate Guan Ze said in his reply just now was very brief, as if he wanted to distance himself from them and ignored their trouble, but... now he actually handed over a gift and took the initiative to say he wanted to make friends?

Suzuki Sonoko blinked and suddenly realized: "So, this is the contrast of cuteness!"

I don’t like communicating in public and I’m not good at chatting, so I appear a little cold, but deep down I really want to have friends and I’m even afraid of being misunderstood by others!

Ahhh she can!

When Mao Lilan heard this and saw the new classmate lower his head, she thought it was a little cute, but she didn't laugh. She just quietly pulled Suzuki Sonoko.

Suzuki Sonoko calmed down a little: "Ahem, I mean, making friends! Of course I can!"

Kudo Arata has half-moon eyes, Sonoko, you just lowered the volume, your expression is still scary!

The three of them didn't realize that because of this small action, their unfamiliarity with Miyakawa Ryo was much lessened.
