Why is it so cold!
The moment Noel, who was wearing only a single layer of clothing, opened the door, a biting cold wind blew in, making his hands and feet tremble. Noel was silent for a while and closed the door. Then he heard Xiaoguang coming down from the upstairs and asked doubtfully, "Noel, are you going out now?"
"Xiao Guang, what day is it today?"
"January 1st." Zhu Fu Jingguang saw what Noel was wearing and frowned, "I know you are cold-resistant, but you can't go out wearing nothing but clothes."
Noel was silent again, trying not to think about why it was hot enough to wear a T-shirt a few days ago but it was already winter on January 1st. He could only sigh and say, "I'll go change my clothes."
When Noel, wearing an off-white knitted sweater and a khaki double-breasted coat, walked down the stairs, he met Jingguang's puzzled gaze.
"It's not the organization's mission, why did you suddenly go out today?" Why didn't you stay at home today? This is the hidden message of Zhufu Jingguang.
Since the accumulated missions of the organization were almost completed, Noel's workload dropped suddenly. After all, even if the murder business was booming, it would not happen every day. In fact, many missions normally required a week or even more than a month of preparation. For Noel, it would be completed in one day and the rest of the time he would stay at home, draw comics, play games with the Young Detectives, and eat all kinds of delicious food made by Xiaoguang. This was his decadent life during this period.
"I'm going to the National Stadium to watch a football game," Noel said guiltily.
"Football match, today is the Emperor's Cup final, right?" Unexpectedly, Morobushi Jingguang looked very knowledgeable, "But if you don't even remember that today is January 1st, you probably didn't go there for the Emperor's Cup final."
"After all, you have no interest in football at all."
Morobushi Kagemitsu's eyes became sharp, and he scanned Noel's attire. In the end, he decided to let him go, and just asked softly:
"Are you going as Natsukawa Sora?"
"Of course." Noel replied with a smile. Only then did he remember that he didn't have to always try to hide anything. After all, Xiaoguang was so understanding.
"By the way, Xiaoguang, I might bring a guest to dinner tonight, so let's invite Sister Yushu to come as well."
Sister Yuki is naturally referring to Miyano Akemi, who is now using the alias Asai Yuki. The two of them finally decided on this title after negotiation. After all, it would be too difficult to explain if someone heard them calling her by her real name one day.
Morofushi Jingguang naturally agreed. He looked at Noel who turned and walked out, and his mood was a little complicated for a moment. His life now was a little too normal. Sometimes he would vaguely feel that the other person was just an ordinary young man who lived a serious life, and thus forget about the things about the organization.
This is probably what Noel would be like if he had never encountered the organization.
Every time he thought of this, his hatred for the organization became stronger. Fortunately, Morobushi Kagemitsu was rational enough to control his impulse and warned himself not to be impatient. If he wanted Noel to completely get rid of the organization, he had to make sure it was completely destroyed.

Football game... so boring.
Noel sat in his seat, slumped in the chair lazily, out of tune with the exciting environment around him.
Even though this is a feast for any football fan, for a member of a criminal organization, especially someone like Noel who was born in Crime Alley, received intensive training from the organization, and then was transformed in a laboratory to far exceed the limits of his body, it is still somewhat difficult to appreciate it.
Noel yawned slightly and immediately received an eye roll from the excited fans next to him.
But there is no way, Noel feels helpless. After all, in his opinion, sports are for survival. If one day he can live comfortably without fighting, he will definitely become a otaku, and maybe even gain a lot of weight. In his eyes, the beauty of sports is not as good as a mouthful of roast pork.
Of course, he wouldn't say that out loud, because in an arena full of enthusiastic fans, even if he was Grappa, he couldn't withstand the punches of 56,000 people. He wouldn't die, but it would definitely hurt.
As for why he came here, Noel looked to the front and side, where a group of children were standing there and shouting excitedly, and the particularly familiar figures were the Junior Detective Team.
Five people...
Noel was a little excited, this time the Junior Detective Team was all together, and the Haibara Ai he had been thinking about finally made her appearance. He had waited too long!
The reason why Noel appeared here this time was naturally because he found out in advance that the Junior Detective Team had booked tickets for the arena and he deliberately rushed here. After all, Shirley, a rare acquaintance in the organization, turned into Haibara Ai. If he had not been busy with the mission before, he would have gone to watch and check in first. As a result, he had to delay coming until now, and he was almost expelled from the fan club of Ai.
Of course, in theory, there would be a case in the background of this kind of large-scale scene of the Young Detective Team. However, Noah's Ark did not give any clues after all. It can only be said that no one died in the end of this case. In this case, Noel decided to wait for Conan to solve the case before appearing, and then take Ai home to see her sister.
Feeling that his plan was perfect, Noel adjusted his posture, closed his eyes and calmed his mind. The glaring sunlight made him feel uncomfortable, so he simply straightened his collar and put his arm on his forehead to barely cover his face.

"What are you guys doing?!"
When Conan learned that the boys from the Junior Detective Team were looking for a suspect with a gun, he lost control of his emotions and shouted:
"They still have guns in their hands. If they hit, they will be killed. Leave the criminals to me and the police. You little brats, leave the arena immediately!"
"I don't want it. Aren't you a child yourself?"
“We want to help too!”
Conan was a little stuck for a moment listening to the children's rebuttal, but suddenly he heard Ayumi shouting across from him:
"I found a very strange person, sleeping on a chair with his face covered!"
"Wait, Ayumi, don't come close to me. Tell me what the other person is wearing." Conan said seriously upon hearing this.
"He was wearing a coat with a high collar that covered his face, and he had very long hair." Ayumi looked at the other person from a distance and could only speak roughly.
"Sleeping in the arena is impossible. Is he covering his face to hide his communication equipment? Is he an accomplice?"
Conan frowned and analyzed quickly. Just as he was about to ask Ayumi to leave quickly, he suddenly heard Ayumi exclaim.
Conan immediately looked panicked and asked hurriedly: "Ayumi, Ayumi, what's wrong? What happened to you?"
"Ayumi was kidnapped by me."
After a moment's silence, a male voice suddenly came from the other side, which sounded familiar.
Conan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "Brother Kong, please don't be so childish at this time."
"I've been notified. You're Conan as expected." The voice on the other end was vague and contained a hint of laughter, as if the voice had just been woken up.
"What are you doing? I heard from Ayumi that there are some dangerous bad guys in the arena."
Conan briefly explained the situation, and then said bluntly: "Since you are here, come and help."
After hanging up the call, Conan looked at Haibara Ai beside him and was about to explain about Natsukawa Sora, but he saw that the other person's face turned pale for some reason.
"What's wrong, Huiyuan?"
The brown-haired girl's voice was trembling, and she murmured as if she was suppressing her inner fear: "It's impossible, it can't be him, he won't be..."
"Graybara?"
"I'm fine," the girl subconsciously lowered the brim of her hat and said, "Is he the Kong brother you mentioned?"
"Yes," Conan breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect that Brother Kong would come to watch the football game. But I'm relieved now. Although Brother Kong is not feeling well, he should have no problem keeping an eye on those little brats."
"These kids all listen to him." Conan looked helpless, as if he had thought of something.
That's even more impossible.
Huibara Ai said softly in her heart, and her mood returned to normal.
"But you seem to trust him."
"Although Kong Ge looks a bit aloof, he's actually a very nice person. I can introduce him to you after this is over. He also has a younger brother who cooks deliciously. His name is Natsukawa Hikaru." Conan gave a brief introduction.
"I'm really looking forward to it." Haibara Ai chuckled.
———
Noel looked at the group of children around him and sighed helplessly. He thought he would reappear after the incident was over, but it turned out to be a scene of searching for a suspect. Not only was he discovered, he was almost regarded as a suspect by Ayumi.
"It's obviously you, Brother Kong, and you actually came to the arena to sleep and covered your face. You look super suspicious!" Ayumi said angrily.
"That's right, why are you sleeping here?" Yuan Tai asked, obviously a little dissatisfied.
"I just don't have any idea about the game..." Noel said this and then he saw the three kids staring at him with a threatening look in their eyes. He could only change his words temporarily: "I can't see clearly. The seat I booked is too far away, so I want to go back and watch the live broadcast."
"Kong, you're lying. You're obviously not interested," Ayumi turned her head away and snorted, "Kong is obviously most comfortable staying at home."
How do you know? Noel suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and felt that he couldn't even lie to a little girl now. He could only find a more serious excuse: "Actually, I came here to look for materials. After all, I am a cartoonist."
"This statement is somewhat believable." Ayumi nodded, but obviously didn't believe it completely. When she was about to say something else, she was stopped by Mitsuhiko.
"Ayumi, let Kong go." Mitsuhiko said in a low voice, but Noel could hear it clearly.
"Brother Xiaoguang has been complaining about Brother Kong always staying at home. He must have just found a random place to go out just to fool people."
Ayumi suddenly realized what was going on and nodded with a heavy face, deciding not to poke the other person in the sore spot anymore.
Hey, hey, hey, what kind of image do I have in your mind?
For the first time, Noel began to doubt whether he was still acting according to his original character of a cool, handsome and mysterious painter. Then he heard the three little ones say bluntly:
"Since it's rare for me to go out, let's help find the suspect."
Hearing the same statement as Conan, Noel's mouth twitched. He felt that these people must have some misunderstanding about him. Why did they think he agreed? Even the protagonists should not be so willful!
Never mind. Looking for suspects is more interesting than watching the game.
Noel agreed and stood up with difficulty.
Armed suspect, I'm coming for you.
