Chapter 14451453 [Night Visit to Huiyuan Ai]
Jiang Xia: “!”
Yes. Isn't there a person who knows how to dress well living next door?
If you think about it carefully, before Haibara Ai turned into a little girl, although she always walked around in a white coat, the clothes underneath seemed to be pretty good.
Thinking of this, he stood up and planned to go next door to find Haibara Ai to borrow some reference books.
But after taking two steps, Jiang Xia retreated silently: "..." In the middle of the night, a male high school student asked a female elementary school student to borrow a beautiful women's magazine. It sounded like a pervert. Even if you remove the qualifier "elementary school student", it would be the same.
Compared to going by yourself...
Jiang Xia remembered something, turned around and looked at the cat eating beside the bed.
The cat noticed his gaze and looked up at him blankly: "Meow?"
"It's you." Jiang Xia threw the cat into the puppet clay and possessed it.
…
Dr. Agasa's house.
In the mini study room converted from the basement.
Haibara Ai was typing away on the keyboard. While typing, she looked at the densely packed chemical formulas on the screen, paused for a moment, took a sip of the coffee beside her, and fell into deep thought.
After a few seconds, I hadn't figured out how to solve the problem, but I suddenly heard something knocking on the door of the basement.
Although it happened in the middle of the night, the sound was not very loud and did not sound aggressive.
Haibara Ai was slightly stunned, but soon guessed something.
She put her coffee down, jumped off the chair that was too high for her, walked to the door, and opened it.
When she looked down, she saw a dark cloud-walking snow cat sitting in front of her. As the door opened, the cat's eyes, which were particularly round at night, looked at her, and then turned their gaze to her bookshelf.
Haibara Ai was not surprised that there was a cat at the door, but was a little surprised that the cat appeared at this time.
——In her impression, the activity time of the Cloud Snow Cat was always similar to that of humans.
Who would have thought that after not seeing him for a while, the cat actually learned to stay up late.
Huiyuan Ai squatted down and touched the cat's chin. The soft fur brushed across her fingers. Her bad mood, which was entangled in the formula, suddenly improved a lot: "Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat?"
The cat raised its paw seriously and stopped her hand, looking like it had something serious to say.
It’s a pity that cats can’t speak human language.
Soon, a note brought by the cat appeared in Haibara Ai's hand.
When I unfolded it, I saw Jiang Xia's handwriting:
[I'm going to England soon, and I plan to bring you some clothes as a souvenir when I come back.
But I'm not very good at choosing, let me borrow a few magazines to look at the styles first - I remember you seemed to have subscribed to them.]
Huibara Ai: “…” She did subscribe to some magazines about bags, fashion, jewelry, perfume, etc. But how did Jiang Xia know about this?
She pressed down the cat's paw that was blocking her and rubbed the cat's face, feeling a little confused.
But on second thought, Jiang Xia is a great detective and must have good observation skills. Maybe he happened to see it when the magazine delivery person came to his house one day.
Yes, that should be it.
As soon as one question is answered, a new one pops up.
Haibara Ai gradually showed suspicion in her eyes: "..." Wait, she is now an elementary school student. Even if she has a temporary antidote for APTX4869, she can't change back just to wear beautiful adult clothes. After all, the antidote is likely to have side effects.
Jiang Xia would definitely not buy adult clothes for elementary school students.
——In other words, it’s true that Jiang Xia wanted to buy clothes, but “buying them for her” sounded too much like an excuse.
Huihara Ai: “…” So why did Jiang Xia suddenly want to buy trendy women’s clothing?
... Could it be that he is in a relationship and the clothes are for his girlfriend? !
Thinking of this, and remembering what Conan would occasionally mutter like "Why does Jiang Xia always attract bad guys?", a glimmer of alertness flashed across Haibara Ai's eyes.
...There are too many strange women around Jiang Xia.
For example, the clients who lingered in the detective agency, the passers-by who insisted on inviting him to their homes when they met him by chance, and the femme fatales in the organization, especially Vermouth who once took Jiang Xia out for a drink.
The moment Vermouth appeared in her mind, alarms buzzed in Haibara Ai's ears, and she wanted to rush to the next room to ask about the situation.
…
"But..." Huiyuan Ai finally sighed, squatted beside the cat, looked at it in confusion, and said to herself, "Since he specially asked you to come here, it means that Jiang Xia doesn't want to show up. Alas, he is already a high school student and has his own ideas."
Jiang Xia, who was driving the cat puppet, said: "......?"
...Why does this sound so weird?
As expected, people tend to have wild thoughts late at night, and Haibara Ai seemed to have made up something incredible in her mind without permission.
It had a reproachful look in its eyes and was about to meow something.
But at this time, the elementary school girl in front of him had already stood up and grabbed a few magazines from the bookcase.
Ai Haibara absentmindedly rolled up the things, put them into a small bag, and returned to the cat.
It took her a few seconds to come back to her senses. She looked down at the small cat and was slightly startled: "Can you lift it?"
Huiyuan Ai suddenly had an idea and said, "Why don't I just send it over for you?"
“…”
The cat suddenly jumped up, snatched the bag from her hand, threw it on its back, and ran away with it. In the blink of an eye, it jumped up the stairs and disappeared from her sight.
The speed was too fast and Haibara Ai opened her eyes wide in shock.
It took her a moment to react, and she looked at the end of the stairs in surprise: "...Such a small cat, but it's quite strong."
Although I was extremely curious about why Jiang Xia suddenly wanted to buy women's clothing.
But in the end, Haibara Ai still returned to the computer, looking back every few steps - since she deliberately used the difficult interactive method of "passing a note" to ask for the magazine, it meant that Jiang Xia guessed that she would be curious, so he didn't want her to know who the clothes were bought for... Hiss, the more he thought about it, the more curious he became.
Huibara Ai: “…” But it’s not a big problem.
——In the magazines she had taken over, the styles of clothes were always the same.
If Jiang Xia really bought it according to the style shown in the picture, then at that time, she just needed to observe the people around Jiang Xia more and find out who was wearing clothes of similar style, and she could easily solve the case.
As she thought about it, a light flashed in Haibara Ai's eyes: when it comes to gathering this information, she is also a natural born detective.
…
While thinking about these things, Haibara Ai returned to the computer and prepared to continue her previous work.
As she sat down, she suddenly remembered something and said "Huh" in confusion - come to think of it, the little black cat was actually running errands for Jiang Xia?
Huihara Ai: “…” It’s obviously a roaming cat from one house to another, but it actually listens to Jiang Xia’s words without realizing it, just like he raised one at home... Jiang Xia’s affinity is really broad.
