50

Today was an ordinary day, at least, that's what it looked like to outsiders.

As for Noel, he changed into sportswear early, without disguise or bandage. After saying hello to Xiaoguang, he walked alone on the street. He looked at the passers-by around him, but didn't care, until a woman with glasses and pigtails came running towards him. She looked flustered, and seemed anxious about something.

Wait till now, this time's goal.

Noel adjusted his posture and seemingly bumped into the woman accidentally. The woman quickly said sorry and apologized, then left in a hurry without waiting for Noel to say anything.

Watching the other party run into the Maori Detective Agency, Noel curled up a smile and turned back to his home.

"What do you gain from taking a morning walk?" Morofushi Jingguang looked at Noel who suddenly wanted to go for a walk this morning. Seeing that he was holding a bag of fruit and two desserts in his hands, he reached out to take them.

"Gain," Noel thought for a moment and asked, "Xiao Guang, do we need a babysitter?"

“There shouldn’t be any shortage.”

"Yeah, I don't want another person at home." Noel suddenly thought of Hiroki Sawada. This kid had only stayed at the house for one day and caused such a big crisis. It's better to be on guard. Speaking of which, Hiroki has been sending messages these past two days asking to come over to play. It's better to avoid him for now.

"Does your organization have any missions recently?"

"After all, I just arrived in Japan and I don't have any missions for the time being." Noel responded as he sat obediently on the sofa waiting for breakfast.

"Then don't take the medicine for the next two days." Zhu Fu Jingguang said, while putting the fruit into the refrigerator.

"Okay, got it."

Noel replied with a smile. Now, basically, taking half a dose of medicine would not affect his movements. If he took about a quarter of the dose daily, he would still be able to move normally. He would only become noticeably weak when he did not take any dose at all. However, it was the fastest way to quit taking the medicine. Obviously, Xiaoguang suddenly brought this up because he was a little worried about his condition.

"Don't worry, I'll listen to you. I'll stay at home for the next few days~" Noel realized that the other party was concerned, and asked happily:

"Have you decided what to cook for me?"

Hirota Masami is the latest client of the Mori Detective Agency. The task is to find her missing father. This task is not difficult. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party likes horse racing, they quickly found the other party's father, Mr. Hirota, at the Tokyo Racecourse. The commission seems to have been successfully completed.

It was not until Xiaolan went to look for the man because she was worried and couldn't get through on the phone that she discovered that the Mr. Hirota they found was already dead, and the client that day, Hirota Masami, was missing and most likely killed.

Fortunately, due to some accidents, Conan stuck a signal transmitter on Hirota Masami's watch. After some investigation, Conan locked the murderer, which was also the hotel where Hirota Masami was staying.

That's what these two days are about, and what's going to happen next.

Noel curled up on the sofa, watching the surveillance video near the Maori Detective Office on his phone, comparing their behavior with the contents of the comics in his mind, and felt that the time was almost up.

"Xiao Guang, I have something to do in the organization tomorrow, so I have to take medicine tonight."

"So fast?" Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the other person curled up on the sofa, looking weak, his face slightly red due to a low fever, very obedient. He walked to the sofa and couldn't help but touch Noel's forehead, and sure enough, it was still a little hot.

"Well, it seems to be quite troublesome. I probably won't be able to come back tomorrow night." Noel nudged the other person subconsciously, his tone full of complaints, "There's nothing I can do. After all, there are not enough people here. They can only squeeze me."

"Can't you avoid it?"

"I can't avoid it, but I will be careful not to hurt anyone else."

The two of them had always tacitly avoided discussing the organization's mission, but every time Noel didn't take his medicine and was in a fuzzy state, he would go over the line to some extent. It might also be because of the fever, so he would always be honest. Morofushi Jingguang couldn't help but think of it and took the porridge that had just been brought to the table. The temperature was just right.

"Would you like a drink?"

"Yes~" Noel stretched out his hand to take the bowl, and drank it silently, looking like he was enjoying it.

"Will tomorrow's mission be dangerous?" Zhu Fujingguang suddenly asked.

"The mission is not dangerous." Noel answered while drinking porridge slowly. His gray-green eyes were covered with a layer of mist due to the heat, just like the mist on the lake, thin but covering the depth of the water.

Because there is no mission at all.

"I'll make you braised pork when I come back."

"Um!"

ENJYTY HOTEL

This is the hotel where Hirota Masami stayed in the original manga. Sometimes Noel was surprised that he could dig out such details from Xia Tian's memory. It was quite magical.

In short, although it is a bit incomplete, it is not difficult to filter out hotels in the Tokyo area with this name.

Soon, Noel arrived in front of the hotel with a small bag on his back. It was twelve o'clock noon, and there was still plenty of time before Conan and the others arrived after dark.

Noel touched his stomach and decided to go to the hotel restaurant to find something to eat before that.

Now he is still dressed as Natsukawa Sora, and the so-called mission is naturally fake. He is here to rescue someone, Hirota Masami, also known as Miyano Akemi.

Having promised Shirley that he could help her unconditionally once, the other party chose to use this promise to protect his sister without hesitation. After a slight headache, Noel also agreed.

Yes, the death of Miyano Akemi is the important reason why Miyano Shiho became Haibara Ai. Noel certainly knows that wanting to save her is equivalent to cutting the plot in half.

Noel thought of a compromise, which was to save Miyano Shiho, but let everyone think she was dead, to see if he could find a loophole, just like how no one except himself knew that Xiaoguang was still alive (Noel still doesn't know that Hiroki knew...).

Noel slowly swiped the card she had prepared in advance and came to the restaurant area. She found that this was a buffet design, and she also found her target, Hirota Masami, who was pretending to be a waitress nearby. It was really a piece of cake.

The other person was wearing a waitress uniform, with long straight brown hair draped behind her head, square-framed glasses on her face, and a gentle smile on her face. It was hard to associate her with the woman with round-framed glasses and braided hair when she went to the detective agency to report the case before. That was why Conan did not recognize her at first glance.

Noel quickly packed a plate of food, walked to a position where he could see the other party, and began to eat silently. The chef in this restaurant was quite skilled. After making sure there were no cameras around, he simply ate to his heart's content.

It was impossible to strike up a conversation, as it was not as important as having a meal. Anyway, he had carefully memorized the other person's appearance during the walks two days ago. Noel was not panicking at all at this moment, and decided to make this buffet restaurant lose money this time.

———

Miyano Akemi felt that someone was following her. As a member of an organization, she was very sensitive to these things. She was pushing a small cart with an empty suitcase on it. She pretended to walk calmly to the corner, but suddenly turned around and found that there was no one behind her.

“It’s cautious, but it’s useless.”

The voice that suddenly came from behind was the last words that Miyano Akemi heard before she lost consciousness. She felt a pain in her neck, and in a trance, she saw a pair of gray-green eyes, like a pool of water covered with mist, unable to tell the truth.

"Shiho..."

"Are you calling Shirley? You won't be able to see her for a while," Noel picked her up and explained, "But she prepared the drug, so she is with you."

After opening the room that had been booked in advance, Noel placed the unconscious Akemi Miyano on the bed, and pulled her stroller in. He couldn't help but take a look at her uniform.

It's a short skirt...

Noel felt mixed emotions but had to accept this reality. Of course he couldn't just take off the other person's clothes, but fortunately it was not difficult to get the same hotel uniforms. He took out the clothes he had bought in advance and a bunch of disguise materials from his bag.

Trying hard to suppress the resistance in her heart, Noel quickly disguised herself and put on a skirt and jacket. Fortunately, the design of the suitcase could well cover up her broad shoulders, and she could slightly bend her legs to cover her height. Fortunately, she would need to push the cart with a suitcase. It was midnight when she confronted Gin, and the other party would often suffer from blindness, after all, he was older...

Finally putting on the wig, Noel stood in front of the mirror and opened his eyes with difficulty.

My disguise skills are really good...

Noel reluctantly praised it, but also found some problems.

Akemi Miyano wears earrings and has pierced ears.

Although it was just a small detail, Noel also knew that details determine success or failure. He walked helplessly to the unconscious Miyano Akemi and took off her earrings.

The sharp silver needle was actually not that hard. Standing in front of the mirror, Noel could only concentrate as much strength as possible and pierce the earlobe with force, twisting it slightly before finally passing it through.

I should be thankful that this minor injury won't cause a big reaction in my body, and the repair process will be slower. Plus, there's a foreign object inside, so it shouldn't be a problem if I can hold out until tonight.

Noel thought about the plot in her mind and looked at Miyano Akemi. The medicine Shirley prescribed would last until tomorrow morning, and she had specifically emphasized that it had to be harmless to the body. She would never have thought that it was for her sister.

Just in case, Noel changed Miyano Akemi's appearance again. Recalling the voice he heard when he met Miyano Akemi that time, Noel adjusted himself so that at least he could deceive Gin, and then he showed a scary smile to the mirror.

In the mirror, the woman who originally had a gentle temperament suddenly smiled sharply, like a beast eyeing its prey.

Since I didn’t get the script for Bourbon last year, I’m sure I’ll get the role of Miyano Akemi this time!
