The Tree of Ahippis 9
The black cat with its round green eyes was so cute that even Edogawa Conan, who was worried about Huibara Ai, subconsciously squatted down and touched it twice, in return for a fluffy intimacy, "Sorry, Watson, now is not the time," the little detective realized that he was controlled by the cat for a few seconds and quickly withdrew his hand, "Now is the critical matter of Huibara..."
"Ah, it's Watson," Yoshida Ayumi came over, and the black cat rubbed the girl's knee with its head, "You are here, does that mean you are worried about Ai too?"
"This black cat is so smart," Kojima Genta hadn't heard a response from Haibara Ai, and felt a little annoyed. He turned around and began to look at the cat, "It looks as smart as me!"
"...You're only smart when you come across food," Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko covered his face, "Speaking of which, was this cat of Haibara Ai bought? It looks like an adult cat," he looked at the yawning black cat, his eyes fixed on the fangs that were exposed when it opened its mouth, "or was it an adopted stray cat? It looks so friendly, it feels like it must have been fed by humans before..."
"It's really smart," Edogawa Conan nodded, thinking of the cat bringing the letter before, and felt that the name Watson was not wrong, "Dr. Agasa didn't say how the cat came from..."
"If it has had another owner before, you can check to see if there is a pet chip implanted," suggested Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, who has the third most knowledge in the Junior Detective Team. "It may have contact information or something—"
"Bang——"
The black cat nimbly avoided the child and walked to the side of the brown-haired girl, meowing coquettishly, "Haibara!" Edogawa Conan's reaction was only a little slower than the cat's. He suddenly looked in the direction of Haibara Ai, who looked fine except for her slightly pale face. "How do you feel mentally... no, physically?" He was halfway through his words when he remembered that the Junior Detective League was still there. He couldn't reveal any information about the winery, so he could only swallow it and reorganize his words, "Do you need to rest?"
"I'm fine, great detective," Huibara Ai smiled, and the familiar, slightly sarcastic tone made Edogawa Conan feel relieved. "Thank you Ayumi, Tsuburaya-kun and Kojima-kun for your concern. I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night." She lowered her eyes to look at the cat squatting at her feet, picked it up and stroked its neck, "and Watson."
"No matter what, it's good that you are willing to come out," Edogawa Conan looked at the brown-haired girl holding the cat, and a frown appeared on his face for a moment, but soon returned to his normal expression, "Let's not block the door of the basement, it's cold here," he pushed a few children to the stairs, "Didn't you say you want to play games? Let's go up first."
Except for the happy Kojima Genta, Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko and Yoshida Ayumi all exchanged worried looks before being urged forward by Edogawa Conan. Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai fell at the end of the team. "Not now, great detective," Haibara Ai quietly interrupted Conan's question, "Keep quiet now."
She cast her eyes towards the young detective team in front of her, "We can't drag any more people into this."
