Chapter 106 The Girl Downstairs
The girl, whose expression had been calm, suddenly changed upon hearing his words. She shook her head, gritting her teeth slightly, "No...no! I can't live here!"
Seeing her terrified expression, Qianzhu sighed softly, gently cupped her face in her hands, and smiled as she softly advised, "Something must have happened, right? If you don't mind, tell me. Maybe I can help you."
Shirley grasped his wrist; the gentle young man before her always reminded her of her older sister.
She bit her lip slightly, and a single tear slid down her cheek.
Qianzhu gently wiped away her tears, her voice soft and gentle: "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, it's okay if you're really sad and want to cry. You're a girl, you don't have to force yourself to be too strong."
Shirley suddenly couldn't hold back her tears. She lowered her head and covered her face with her hands. In addition to the tears that slid down her hands, there were also sobs that she suppressed.
Qianzhu gently rubbed the top of her head and handed her a few tissues.
After wiping away her tears with a tissue and calming herself down, Shirley raised her head and looked at Qianzhu with slightly red eyes. In the end, she told this gentle but innocent boy about her origins.
Even though she understood that, regardless of whether she spoke up or not, once the organization discovered her whereabouts, neither this gentle young man nor the kind old man outside could escape the organization's policy of silencing them.
It was hard to believe that such an unimaginable thing would come from the mouth of a girl who looked no more than seven years old, but Qianzhu listened very attentively and even poured her a glass of warm water.
After she finished speaking, Shirley looked down at the water glass in her hand and said softly, "So... once they find out, you won't be able to escape."
Qianzhu chuckled upon hearing this, then reached out and patted her head, gently comforting her, "What does it matter? Haven't you already escaped?"
"Once you do it once, you'll do it again. Maybe they won't believe you've turned into a child? After all, it sounds unbelievable."
"Besides, that's for the future. Right now, we should make arrangements for you first."
Chizuru comforted her, then muttered to herself, "By the way, Professor Agasa doesn't have any clothes for little girls. It looks like I'll have to ask him to go and buy some later... Why don't you come along too, just to get some fresh air? Otherwise, Professor Agasa won't buy things that girls need."
He covered his mouth and chuckled, as if he had made a sarcastic remark to Professor Agasa and then found it funny himself.
"Get ready, it's not good to stay cooped up in your room all the time." Qianzhu stood up, giving her almost no time to refuse.
After leaving her room, Chizuru told Professor Agasa about the incident and then left.
He still has some things to prepare.
Meanwhile, Conan, who had been holed up in his room for days because of the Bertrand incident, was pulled out by Ran. After they returned from shopping, they saw a girl standing downstairs.
The girl was wearing a pink and black punk-style Lolita dress, and she was holding a black umbrella that just happened to cover her face, but she seemed to be looking at the Mouri Detective Agency.
Upon seeing this, the two stopped and exchanged a glance before stepping forward to politely inquire, "Hello, are you here to the Mouri Detective Agency?"
