Chapter 2411 2423 [Tracking]
After reminding Kudo Shinichi, Haibara Ai turned around and went back to the next room.
Seeing her hesitation to speak, Jiang Xia comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll just stay close to him. If there's any sign of danger, I'll knock him out and drag him away. How about that?"
Huihara Ai thought about Jiang Xia's efficiency in knocking people down, and she felt safe. She nodded solemnly: "Then I'll leave it to you."
…
When it was time for dinner, Ran Mouri looked at her cell phone and walked towards Kudo's house suspiciously.
First he appeared as the leading actor in a stage play, then he ran away without a trace when a mystery was put before her eyes, and not long after that, he suddenly sent her a message saying he wanted to treat her to a meal...
"Something's wrong, very wrong." Mao Lilan touched her chin. "Let's put aside other things. Why didn't he show up when the case happened just now? This guy shouldn't be able to resist the temptation of solving the case... Wait, I remember that teacher Judy was not there during that time..."
The high school girl who had learned to reason moved her fingers as she walked, and occasionally a creepy clicking sound could be heard from her slender finger bones.
The house next to the sidewalk.
Jiang Xia and Huihara Ai hid behind the curtains and watched her pass by silently.
After Mao Lilan disappeared from their sight, the two looked at each other, and Huiyuan Ai whispered: "It shouldn't be a problem."
Jiang Xia thought seriously for a while: "Xiao Lan should know her limits."
Huiyuan Ai: "..." Really? But a piece of the floor tile at the door was broken.
The two were carefully analyzing their neighbors' current situation when suddenly a loud bang was heard from next door.
“…”
Haibara Ai took out her cell phone and began to hesitate whether to call the ambulance.
Jiang Xia reached out and poked the ghosts next to him. The Mist Dog understood and flapped its wings to fly to the next door. Not long after, it flew back over the wall, half regretful and half relieved: there were no new ghosts.
Jiang Xia: “…” Although Kudo’s fighting ability is average, his ability to withstand blows is incredibly strong. No wonder he didn’t suffer any brain damage when Gin hit him on the back of the head with a club... His strong physique is really amazing.
…
No matter what, you still have to eat.
After the high school students next door limped out of the door, Jiang Xia picked up a hat from the coat rack and put it on, barely making a disguise, and then he and Haibara Ai quietly followed them.
A few meters ahead.
While adjusting the scarf he used to cover his face, Kudo Shinichi racked his brains to make up a story to explain to Mouri Ran his behavior today and his disappearance during this period.
As he was speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong - it seemed like someone was following him.
Thinking of Haibara Ai's several warnings and the recent mysterious appearance of Vodka, Kudo Shinichi's heart skipped a beat and the hairs on his back stood on end, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
While continuing to talk to Mao Lilan as if nothing had happened, he quietly took a detour and passed by an izakaya with a billboard at the door.
At the moment when the neon sign turned black, Kudo Shinichi quickly glanced at it. The mirror-like sign reflected the figures behind them - there were indeed two people following them!
…but it’s not Gin and Vodka, and it doesn’t seem like they’re members of any other organization either.
But two extremely familiar looking guys.
"..." Kudo Shinichi's eyes twitched and he couldn't help but look back. Sure enough, behind him was Haibara Ai, who was still dressed as Conan, and Jiang Xia, who was just wearing a hat perfunctorily and did not hide her stalking behavior.
The two sides looked at each other, and Jiang Xia nodded at him with a comfortable expression, as if he was being dragged by elementary school students to play house games.
Kudo Shinichi: "..." Well, for Jiang Xia, the matter of becoming bigger or smaller only involves Dr. Agasa's patent, so his attitude is normal.
only……
"I didn't expect Huibara to bring Jiang Xia over. Could it be that she was worried that I would be beaten to death by Xiaolan, so she specially brought me a helper with similar fighting power?" Kudo Shinichi scratched his neck and muttered in his heart, "She is a very nice person. I didn't expect that there would be such a kind person in the Black Organization."
I was silently moved by the comrades' spirit when suddenly, a few naughty kids rushed out from the alley ahead.
The noisy young detective team saw something and waved happily over here: "Conan! Why haven't I seen you today? You, uh..."
How come Brother Jiang Xia is here too! I almost didn’t recognize him with his hat on… Conan, this little dog, really didn’t forget his original intention and came to curry favor with the detective again!
Several children silently condemned in their hearts, slowed down their pace and started to act good. At this moment, the passerby between them and "Conan" waved his hand at them and said, "I have something to do today, so I don't have time to play with you."
The Young Detectives were stunned and looked at him blankly: “…”Who asked you to play with us…Why is this high school student so familiar?
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
Could it be that the antidote she made actually has some serious side effects? For example, making people stupid?
Mao Lilan was also a little confused, but she remembered that Kudo Shinichi did not hate children, and even liked Sherlock Holmes' Baker Street Guerrillas. Perhaps he also made some elementary school friends because of this, so she did not ask any more questions.
Several elementary school students carefully walked around Kudo Shinichi and ran to Haibara Ai, talking to her in a low voice.
Originally they wanted to pull "Conan" away to play together, but when they saw Jiang Xia next to them, the three of them finally didn't dare to reach out. They just said hello and left quietly.
Kudo Shinichi in front looked back and sighed in his heart: "..." The days of being an elementary school student were like a dream, but now, he has turned back into that mature and steady high school student!
"Before, I actually wanted to become small again. Fortunately, Huibara doesn't have the antidote for the antidote." Kudo Shinichi sighed and determined the direction of his efforts. "I must defeat the Black Organization as soon as possible and regain my identity as a detective! I didn't feel anything when I was an elementary school student, but now that I'm a high school student, I find that high school students are so free and beautiful... Although I get beaten occasionally, other than that, everything else is really good."
Next to her, Mao Lilan took a few steps and suddenly found that Kudo Shinichi did not follow her.
She turned around and called out, "What are you thinking about? Let's go quickly."
Kudo Shinichi came back to his senses: "Okay! Sister Xiaolan."
Mao Lilan: “……?”
She was silent for a moment and looked down at her hands.
Did she hit someone a little too hard just now?
How about stopping eating and going to the hospital first?
…
The proposal to go to the hospital to see the injury was strongly opposed by Kudo Shinichi, so in the end, the two went to the Beika Central Building as planned.
This is one of the tallest buildings here, and the observation restaurant at the top is famous for its excellent meals and expensive prices.
