Chapter 52 Holmes Shirley

Akiyama Kanade didn't want to look like a pervert, but that little girl really looked like a smaller version of Shirley!

Short brown hair, lake blue eyes... She is a completely scaled-down version of Shirley.

A cute little sister becomes twice as cute when she becomes smaller! She is so cute!

The man in kimono walked slowly to the group of people, leaning on a bamboo stick. When he lowered his head slightly, a strand of long hair fell down. He coughed a few times, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and his gray eyes swept across the faces lightly, as if he didn't linger on anyone in particular.

He finally looked at Sato Miwako and smiled faintly, "Why did you come here too? Don't you have to deal with the station issue?"

Miwako Sato patted his back with concern, "Inspector Megure is there, don't worry. But you...how come your health is so bad? Didn't you take good care of yourself?"

The young female police officer can be very scary when she becomes serious and aggressive.

Akiyama Kanade could only evade the main point and say, "I have taken good care of my injuries, but something happened... Don't worry, I just look scary, I am in good health." He smiled, "Don't look at me like this, the Investigation Division 1 is still invincible."

The former police officer Jiu Sheng never failed in the investigation department.

Miwako Sato didn't soften her expression after hearing this, but frowned and snatched the handkerchief from his hand. The white handkerchief was soaked with a small piece of bright red blood.

The young friend in front of him smiled helplessly on his pale face. He took the handkerchief back and put it in his pocket. "I didn't let you see it because I was afraid you would worry." He paused and said softly, "Please don't tell Officer Matsuda."

"Instead of talking about that, why don't you introduce these kids to me?"

Miwako Sato knew that the other party was unwilling to say it and she had no choice but to follow his words and introduce Takagi Wataru and the Boy Detective Team.

The Young Detectives had just heard about Jiu Sheng Chun Shu's deeds, and now they were looking at him with admiration and regret.

"Big brother is so cool!"

"Big brother, you're not going to be a police officer anymore... What a pity."

Akiyama Zou encouraged and comforted them, and felt that it was reasonable for the police not to disclose Jiu Sheng Chun Shu's black party identity, otherwise it would be a huge blow to the children and teenagers.

It's a pity that this black player has no conscience.

You see, Conan Edogawa is very calm, always looking at him with a somewhat doubtful and scrutinizing gaze, and occasionally his glasses will reflect a strange and wise light.

Not childish at all.

Finally, Akiyama Kanade set her sights on the little girl who looked the least like a child.

He was almost certain that this was Shirley, although he didn't know why she became like this. And Shirley had no intention of hiding it from him.

The moment their eyes met, they understood each other's intentions clearly.

But this is really not a good place to reminisce.

"What's your name?" Akiyama Kanade half-crouched down with his cane. One leg was uncomfortable, so it was very difficult for him to do this action, but he still stood on the same level and looked at the little girl.

"Graybara Ai, my name." She hesitated and whispered, "Your body looks... not in good condition."

Much worse than three years ago.

Akiyama Kanade reached out and patted her head, smiling, "It's okay."

He stood up, and because he stood up too quickly, he couldn't help coughing a few times - he even worried whether he had added too much debuff to this body.

However, even without the debuff, it is not easy for Blue Orange Wine to survive.

He was being hunted by both the Red and Black factions at the same time. Even after three years, neither side had relaxed their pursuit of him.

No matter which side it is, he must get it, even if he can't get it himself, he can't leave the fat meat to the enemy.

So this time when he boarded the Blue and Orange Liquor ship, Akiyama Kanade planned to give it one last try to see if he could successfully sell the goods to Officer Matsuda using this vest.

If it succeeds, that would be the best.

If there is really no other way, then just tear up this ID card. Even he would get tired if he registered too many numbers at the same time.

Of course, in order to prevent the Blue and Orange Wine from being suppressed by both sides as soon as it appeared, Akiyama Kanade also made preparations.

First, he contacted the young public security officer Naoto who had been dealing with him all those years ago and asked for an immediate meeting with Kuroda Hei.

Just now, Akiyama Kanade received a reply. The other party agreed, but required the meeting place to be determined by the public security, and at this moment Kuroda Hei was already waiting for him at the agreed place.

The police were indeed very careful and arranged the time so tightly, probably because they were afraid that Blue Orange would have the chance to play tricks.

[Okay, I'll be there in half an hour]

After replying to the message, Akiyama Kanade put away her phone and looked at Sato Miwako again.

As soon as she saw the smile on his face, Sato Miwako had a bad feeling. In the past, when Kyushu Haruki wanted to play a trick on someone in the Investigation Division, he would show a similar expression.

"What do you want to do?" she asked cautiously.

Eh? Are you so sensitive?

Akiyama Kanade kept smiling, and the black-haired man's pale face showed a pitiful expression, "Officer Sato, I have to leave for something urgent. Please tell Officer Matsuda later that I am not running away--"

He said seriously: "I will definitely come back to find him!"

"Please!"

"Wait, you told him this yourself!"

However, Jiu Sheng Chun Shu slipped away very quickly, and his sleeves slipped from her palm like a piece of water. Sato Miwako twitched her lips.

If I tell this to Jinpei Matsuda, I will definitely get beaten up by him!

"Does Mr. Kyusei have a good relationship with Officer Matsuda?" asked Conan Edogawa.

"Their relationship is indeed very good. After all, Jiu Sheng risked his life to save Matsuda-kun and paid such a high price... Matsuda-kun probably always felt very sorry for him. But before that, the relationship between the two was very good."

They even wore women's clothing together, Sato Miwako added in her heart.

She still remembers the heroic figures of Miss Chrysanthemum and Miss Sakura.

After hearing what Officer Sato said, Conan Edogawa felt even more strange.

Since this man is a policeman and has such a good relationship with Officer Matsuda, how could he know Huibara? And it seems that the relationship between the two is not ordinary...

What happened in those missing three years?

He glanced at Huibara Ai, who snorted coldly.

Edogawa Conan chuckled - he didn't expect this guy to tell him.

Seeing that time was slowly passing and Matsuda Jinpei would be back soon, Sato Miwako's eyes suddenly lit up and she asked the Junior Detective Team, "Can you please tell Matsuda-kun that Kyusei has left?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya crossed his arms and said, "Could it be that Officer Sato is worried about getting scolded?"

Sato Miwako: "..."

It was exposed in an instant.

Takagi Wataru scratched his head awkwardly and was about to volunteer when Edogawa Conan raised his hand and said, "Let me talk to Officer Matsuda!"

The Young Detectives quickly grabbed him.

"Conan, Officer Matsuda will definitely be angry!"

"Yes, when Ayumi was sick and didn't want to go to the hospital, her mother was as fierce as Officer Matsuda."

"I don't want to be scolded."

Conan Edogawa smiled, "No. Why would Officer Matsuda be angry with a child?"

Jinpei Matsuda returned to the waiting room with the test results and looked at the empty bench. Although it felt a bit predictable, he couldn't suppress his anger.

The Boy Detective Team observed the situation and pushed Conan Edogawa out.

Although Jinpei Matsuda looked unhappy, he was not angry with the children. After listening to what Conan told Haruki Kyusho, his expression had returned to calm.

"Did he say that? He will definitely come back?" He confirmed again.

Edogawa Conan nodded repeatedly.

"…He better not have lied to me."

In order to avoid being implicated, Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru had already slipped away - they did have to go back to the station to help, so the task of sending the Junior Detective Team home fell on Matsuda Jinpei.

"Don't you think they look alike?" As they walked out of the hospital, Edogawa Conan and Huihara Ai fell behind. Huihara Ai suddenly whispered.

"What?" Conan asked back in confusion.

"That statement of "I will definitely come back," Huihara Ai looked at him and smiled faintly, "It's just like you lied to your sister Lan - well, you really can't trust what comes out of a man's mouth."

Conan: “…”

He wasn't lying!

Matsuda Jinpei's car is the same model Mazda as Sato Miwako's, but the color is different. It was the first time that the Junior Detective Team saw his car, and they immediately rushed over and praised it.

Ayumi asked innocently, "Officer Matsuda and Officer Sato's cars are the same, are they couple models?"

"No," Matsuda immediately retorted. He explained seriously, "This sports car has good performance and is very popular. Sato and I just happened to drive the same model."

The subconscious explanation is that I don't want such rumors to appear and make someone sad after hearing them...but if you think about it carefully, this kind of guy should be made sad for a while before he learns to restrain himself.

But he was afraid of going too far, so he completely shrank back and refused to show up again.

Tsk, how could there be such a troublesome person?

Conan noticed that the door handle of the black Mazda's driver's door was covered with a protective cover, but the other doors were not.

So strange.

Haibara Ai also took a look at the protective cover on the door handle, then sat in the passenger seat with Conan and fastened her seat belts.

Ai Huihara, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke softly and asked, "Brother Matsuda, I heard from Officer Sato that this car of yours was a gift on Valentine's Day, is that true?"

Conan gave her a strange look.

Did Officer Sato say anything like this? ... Could it be that Huibara has thought of something else?

Damn it, why can't I tell him? !

Matsuda Jinpei, who was driving, coughed twice to cover up. "Why do kids always pay attention to these things?" He said fiercely, and then said, "I guess so - I won it in a lottery."

The man's eyes moved around suspiciously.

“I actually won it in a lottery!”

"Officer Matsuda is so lucky! If only I had such good luck and could draw a rare card of Kamen Rider!"

"Did Officer Matsuda buy lottery tickets or go to the horse races?"

The children became more and more excited as they talked, all of them dreaming of winning the prize themselves, and some even asked Jinpei Matsuda about the secret of his winning.

Conan was helpless. "Don't make it difficult for Officer Matsuda. Unless there is some behind-the-scenes manipulation, it is just pure luck. There is no secret. Right, Officer Matsuda?"

"Uh-huh."

--suspicious.

Edogawa Conan's eyes became sharp.

And since hearing this answer, Haibara Ai next to her has entered a state of daze, clutching the seat belt tightly with one hand and looking forward with unfocused eyes.

Matsuda Jinpei quickly sent this group of little ancestors home, and Haibara Ai was the second to last one.

Although this little girl only asked one question, she got to the heart of all the secrets at once, making the sensitive Matsuda Jinpei feel that she knew something.

...but it's impossible.

She's just a little girl.

When they arrived at the doctor's house, the little girl finally gave him a scrutinizing look as if she was evaluating the performance of a car when she got out of the car.

In the end, it seemed unsatisfactory.

She nodded and said, in a strangely inclusive tone, "Thank you."

——Hey, who made that person like it?
