Fake 9
"Ikki-nii?"
In the park as the sun sets, children are picked up by their parents in groups of two or three. If minors are left on the street at night, they will be questioned by passing police. The time for adults is about to begin. A police officer who was sitting on a bench in deep thought was interrupted by a familiar voice. He looked up and said, "Ah, it's Xiaolan." Ishii Kazuki waved casually, not seeing the small figure behind the girl carrying a white plastic bag. "Did you just come back from buying groceries?"
"Yes," Mao Lilan sat down next to Ishii Kazuki, facing a child who was building sand castles alone because his friend had just been picked up by his parents. "Ishii-brother, did you just get off work too?" She looked at the garbage left by the instant lunch box in the plastic bag next to Ishii Kazuki and showed a disapproving expression on her face. "Really, eating this kind of fast food all the time can't satisfy the body's nutritional intake."
Ishii Kazuki shrugged, not making any comment. He had watched Ran Mouri grow up. Although the girl was a little more polite than Kudo Shinichi, who would pester him to discuss cases and puzzles, they had become close over the years. "Sorry, sorry," he raised his hand to beg for mercy. "Ran, you know me. Rather than pursuing the quality of the meal, it's better to have enough time to finish a good meal."
When Ishii Kazuki said this, he shed tears for himself. Not to mention the intensity of the work of the Japanese police, the world view of Detective Conan is simply overtime work everywhere. Even if you want to go out for a stroll in your spare time, you may run into a case, not to mention a certain elementary school student who is the god of death. You have to be mentally prepared if you meet him.
"But health is the most important thing," Ran Mouri, whose father is a former criminal policeman and whose mother is a lawyer, naturally knows Ishii Kazuki's difficulties. The girl warned him with a serious look, "Brother Kazuki hasn't slept well recently, has he?" She looked at the faint dark blue in the bottom of Ishii Kazuki's eyes worriedly, "If you fall ill, you will have to go to the hospital again, and you will be watched closely by Brother Jinping and Brother Kenji, and you won't even be able to touch the oden soup..."
"Wow," Ishii Kazuki shuddered exaggeratedly, "I don't want to be watched by gorillas," especially his peers who always retaliate at this time, saying that they give him only watery soup for his health, without any taste at all. "Come to think of it," he pointed to the plastic bag at Mao Lilan who couldn't help but smile, "Come to think of it, is Mr. Mao Li still waiting at home hungry?"
"It's okay. I just bought him some snacks to go with his wine. Before I left this morning, I told my dad that I would be back late because of club activities," Mao Lilan shook her head. Thinking of her old father who was still at home, she showed a helpless expression. "I guess he has already finished his meal with Conan... Really, he is a detective but he is so careless. I guess he left a lot of food for me. I clearly said that I can't eat so much..."
At this moment, the child who was playing alone in front of them finally waited for his parents to come and pick him up. The tired-looking woman showed an apologetic expression and walked away holding the hand of the happy-looking child.
"Hey, Ikki-kun," watching the two figures disappear from sight, Mao Lilan tucked her drooping hair behind her ears, revealing a thoughtful expression, "In your opinion..."
“Was I like this at that time?”
