Chapter 149 Shirley, I Found You
"Shinichi? Kudo... Shinichi?" The cunning and cruel Gin stared at the child who was struggling to get down from the ground in Suzuki Sonoko's hands. The image of the high school detective Kudo Shinichi buried deep in his memory gradually surfaced.
The identical bangs and ahoge gradually overlapped with the high school detective in Gin's memory who was poisoned by Gin for meddling in other people's business, neither more nor less, just the right amount.
This immediately dispelled the fog that had been covering Gin's heart, and many of the things that he couldn't figure out before were instantly answered. It turned out that it was not his illusion before. The little girl who looked almost exactly like Shirley was her!
Gin: Shirley, I found you, my smile gradually became abnormal.jpg
That permeable smile made Kudo Shinichi, who seemed relaxed but was actually extremely nervous, sweat profusely. He himself was not afraid of death, but if Xiaolan was dragged into it because of him, he would never be able to forgive himself.
Just as he was thinking this, Kudo Shinichi caught a glimpse of the man whom Furuya Rei called "Mr. Douma" out of the corner of his eye.
The combination of long oak-white hair, colorful gradient eyes, and tall and straight figure made Kudo Shinichi quickly remember that this Douma was the one who sent himself, who had taken poison and shrunk, to Xiaolan. ④
Kudo Shinichi's wildly beating heart immediately calmed down. It wasn't because he trusted this Lord Douma, but the security implications were too obvious. As a detective, he almost instantly came to a reassuring conclusion:
Since this Douma knew his true identity from the beginning to the end, and was also very clear about the relationship between him and Xiaolan, he didn't have to worry too much about Xiaolan getting hurt because of his exposure. As for the ruthless Gin? There was even less need to worry.
Kudo Shinichi felt more and more confident, and he glanced at the two people with clear priorities inconspicuously. As expected, he found that all of Gin's body language and facial expressions deeply showed that he was truly submissive to Mr. Douma. If Gin didn't want to annoy Mr. Douma, he would definitely not do anything against his wishes.
Therefore, he, Xiaolan, and their family and friends are all safe. Kudo Shinichi, who came to this conclusion, felt as if he were in another world. It was so good that he almost thought he would have to live in the dark again in the future.
The result of all these complex emotions reflected on his face at the same time was that Kudo Shinichi successfully scared Suzuki Sonoko with his ferocious expression.
Although Suzuki Sonoko has a carefree and rough personality, she is essentially a harmless person.
After she noticed that Shinichi's expression was not right, she thought that her joking behavior had completely annoyed him, so she quickly put him down, put her two hands behind her back, and whistled as if nothing had happened: "Swish, swish, swish——"
Suzuki Sonoko pretended to be stupid and whistled, while letting her eyes wander around and finally landed on Douma and Gin, whom she had just ignored.
"Cough... cough cough cough..." The two super handsome guys appeared in front of her so suddenly that Suzuki Sonoko's originally rhythmic whistle came to an abrupt end. She even choked loudly, and her cheeks turned red in an instant.
Shame on her, so shameful, ah ah ah ah, how could she whistle like a female hooligan in front of such a handsome man! My elegant lady image is completely ruined ah ah ah! Suzuki Sonoko quickly adjusted her expression and demeanor, but the unrestrained soul hidden under the shell of a lady from a noble family screamed like a crazy woodchuck.
However, as a strong, infatuated and brave girl, Suzuki Sonoko selectively forgot her embarrassing performance in front of the handsome guy, and her eyes flickered between Douma and Gin, and she began to feel deeply entangled:
The silver-haired handsome guy on the right seems to be a mixed-race. His wolf-like dark green eyes are so cool! But the little brother on the left is also very attractive. The colorful gradient eyes are obviously exaggerated, but on him, it does not make people feel discordant at all. Instead, it is extremely beautiful. Moreover, his smile is so gentle and he has killer fangs.
Both of these handsome guys are great, which one should she choose?
Suzuki Sonoko blushed and twisted her hands awkwardly. No one could tell that under her shy appearance, she was struggling inside over which handsome guy to choose to approach and talk to.
Mao Lilan saw something, or maybe it shouldn't be said that she saw it, but rather that she knew her best friend Suzuki Sonoko too well. Mao Lilan had seen similar situations at least a dozen times, and she could guess Sonoko's reaction without even seeing it.
But those two people were too dangerous. Ran Mouri, who had vaguely sensed something, was worried and planned to grab her best friend before things developed in an uncontrollable direction. But before she could stretch out her hand, Suzuki Sonoko took full action and started to strike up a conversation with her.
Yes, Suzuki Sonoko, who was struggling over which of the two super handsome guys to capture, ultimately couldn't withstand the deadly tiger's fangs.
After all, this gentle and handsome guy with two cute fangs is born with the Japanese XP. Suzuki Sonoko thought righteously, then took a step forward bravely, stood in front of Douma, raised his head and stretched out his hand, and said softly in the softest voice ever: "Hello, sir, I am Sonoko, Suzuki Sonoko, nice to meet you."
Facing the hand that Suzuki Sonoko took the initiative to extend, Douma shook it with a gentle gesture, lowered his eyes slightly, fixed his gaze on the other party, and replied politely: "Hello, Miss Sonoko, I am Douma."
Out of some habit of a three-dimensional anime person, Douma subconsciously called Suzuki Sonoko "Miss Sonoko" instead of the more distant Miss Suzuki. In Suzuki Sonoko's eyes, this became an encouragement, making her smile even sweeter.
Douma, who had the highest status, was like the center of the storm, and everyone was secretly watching his every move. Therefore, it was not just Suzuki Sonoko who misunderstood, but the other people who seemed not to be paying attention to them were also obviously stunned, and their eyes became strange.
Among them, Furuya Rei is the most knowledgeable. Unlike Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran, who have only a superficial understanding of the Transcendents, Furuya Rei, the new star in the police force, knows too well how important Douma, the only Transcendent in the country, is to them in Japan.
Under this premise, if Suzuki Sonoko can win Douma's favor, she can take the already prosperous Suzuki Foundation to a higher level even without the promise of marriage. It is estimated that the cabinet ministers will open the door wide for the Suzuki Foundation in order to please the confidante of His Excellency the Transcendent.
Smart people always tend to think too much, especially since the significance of Douma, the transcendent, is too important to today's Japan, so Furuya Rei couldn't help but think more.
On the other hand, Gin, who should have been the most concerned about the boss, didn't react much. He looked Suzuki Sonoko up and down with a critical look, then looked away with disinterest: the boss would not be interested in such a weak and ordinary woman, and just like humans would not fall in love with steak, how could a cannibal fall in love with a human?
Everyone's strange thoughts soon ended with Douma's next sentence.
Douma, with a gentle smile on his face, let go of Suzuki Sonoko's fingertips, and turned his head smoothly and looked at Mao Li Ran who was a step away from them, and smiled and said: "See you again, Xiao Ran...Miss."
Oops, I almost called her Xiaolan. The villain in Douma's heart patted his chest in fear. The familiar names used by three-dimensional anime people for two-dimensional characters would be too intimate in real life and could easily cause unnecessary trouble to others.
Douma was busy reflecting on his previous slip of the tongue and did not notice the fleeting embarrassed smile on the face of Furuya Rei across from him, or the glances between Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran, who both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
A world was born in which only Suzuki Sonoko was hurt. (bushi)
Realizing that he had overthought and misunderstood, Suzuki Sonoko curled up his fingers in disappointment, and within a few seconds, his spirit that had drooped was back on its feet again, except that the target he was trying to capture had changed.
This time, Mao Lilan did not give her best friend any chance to make trouble. She quickly grabbed Suzuki Sonoko's shoulders with her quick eyes and hands, and with her other hand quickly covered Suzuki Sonoko's mouth which had just opened to try to speak, and dragged her to the side with skillful movements.
Mao Lilan bent over her waist and picked up Suzuki Sonoko to lift her feet off the ground. At the same time, she turned around and said goodbye to Douma: "Mr. Douma, it's nice to see you again. Thank you very much for sending Shinichi back last time. It's just that we girls have something to do, so we have to leave first. Sorry."
"It's okay. We'll see each other sometime." Douma waved his hand politely at the two people who were leaving in a hurry. At the same time, he sighed in his heart: Xiaolan is indeed a master of karate. She can hold Sonoko, who is almost the same size as her, without any effort.
The super brave atmosphere team leader Suzuki Sonoko was forced to leave the stage, and the air at the scene seemed to become a lot colder. Just when Kudo Shinichi was about to bite the bullet and find a topic to ease the atmosphere, the staff appeared like a timely rain.
"Excuse me, sir. Your seat has been changed. We guarantee with our lives that there will be no problems this time." The staff humbly bowed 90 degrees to the injured person (? ) Gin.
The staff's decisive words made Douma, who still had a little conscience left, look helpless: In other words, we don't need such harsh guarantees.
The auction was about to begin, and the people in the corner separated.
After Douma and Gin walked away, Kudo Shinichi finally let out a sigh of relief. He looked up puzzled and asked Furuya Rei, "I always feel that the way that gentleman looks at me is not right. What do you think?"
"It's indeed different." Furuya Rei nodded in agreement, and then held Kudo Shinichi's head in a comforting manner: "It doesn't matter. If that big shot really had ill intentions towards you, you would have been dead long ago."
Kudo Shinichi slapped Furuya Rei's hand away, took a step back cautiously, and reminded him in a harsh tone: "Don't touch a man's head."
Furuya Rei was amused by the serious and solemn face of the elementary school student, Kudo Shinichi. He asked back with a smile in his eyes: "A man who is only one meter tall?"
Kudo Shinichi: Are you polite?
