Chapter 228
The door of the laboratory was opened, and Haibara Ai walked out again. Hoshikawa Kazuaki instantly put away his trembling hand, and his expression returned to the gentle smile before. When he looked at Haibara Ai again, there was no trace of the perverted look before.
Huiyuan looked at him with a strange look. She felt that there was something strange about this person, but she couldn't find anything wrong after careful investigation. But did this person really grow up under Baifu's care? How could he not have any of Baifu's quirks of going crazy when he had nothing to do?
Thinking of this, Huiyuan Ai looked at Xingchuan and Ming again, squeezed the medicine box in her hand, and did not pass it over immediately, but tentatively said:
"I heard that you have known Baifu for a long time. Do you know what color Baifu's eyes are?"
Hoshikawa Kazuaki looked at Huihara Ai, whose expression was calm but a little cold, and felt amused. He then squatted down and looked at her straight in the eye, smiling:
"Are you worried that I'm some bad guy in disguise? Don't worry, I am indeed Hoshikawa Kazuaki. Also, regarding your question, Momotani's eyes are dark red most of the time, but sometimes, they are a warm orange color like a flame."
As he spoke, Xingchuan Heming stretched out his hand and pinched his face. His skin turned red in some places after the capillaries were squeezed, making Xingchuan Heming's originally handsome and gentle face suddenly look a little pitiful.
There will be normal physiological changes. It seems that this is indeed the other person's true face. Huihara Ai breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Xingchuan and Ming put their hands over her eyes again. Then she shuddered suddenly, and cold sweat instantly came out of the pores all over her body. It turned out to be a symptom of PTSD!
Xingchuan Heming wanted to trigger the changes in his eyes to prove his identity. But he didn't expect that after so much time, his fear of darkness was still so deep-rooted that he couldn't even accept the action of covering his eyes, which was a safety hint.
Oh no, I originally wanted to use it to prove my identity, but now I’m reacting so strongly, will I scare the little angel Ai-chan instead?
"What are you doing!?"
As expected, Haibara Ai was startled. She immediately reached out to pull away the hands of Hoshikawa and Ming that were covering their eyes. However, when her hands were pulled away, a pair of strange eyes flashing green light appeared under her palms.
Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the other party's intention. However, because of this, she found it even more difficult to understand, and at the same time, she felt a very familiar anger, and suddenly she couldn't help but yelled:
"You only need to answer my question, why do you want to do something that will hurt yourself? How come you like hurting yourself so much like Baifu?"
After saying this, before Hoshikawa and Ming could reply, Haibara Ai reacted first. After all, the other party was just a stranger whom she met for the first time. Was her reaction too intense?
However, this guy is worthy of being a child who was raised by Baifu. This kind of quirk that looks very normal on the surface but can actually do something crazy at any time is really exactly the same as Baifu!
So, am I actually venting all my worries about Baifu and my anger at him for not cherishing me on Xingchuan Kazuaki who feels the same way?
Haibara Ai immediately shut her mouth and took a step back, looking at Hoshikawa and Ming with obvious apology and guilt in her eyes.
Xingchuan and Ming had just gotten rid of their physical discomfort. After noticing that Huiyuan Ai was a little agitated, they immediately comforted her:
"It's okay, and thank you Huiyuan-san for caring about me. But don't worry, I'm fine now."
Huibara Ai moved her lips, but ultimately failed to say anything more outrageous. She simply stretched out her hand, and in her open palm lay a small box of white capsules.
"This is the medicine that Baifu and I agreed to use. But as the manufacturer, I really don't recommend anyone to use it."
Ai Huihara hesitated for a moment, but her concern for Baifu finally prevailed. She raised her eyes and said to Xingchuan and Ming seriously:
"If possible, please persuade Baifu not to really take that extreme path. As long as people are alive, they will always find a way, right?"
Xingchuan Heming took the medicine box and comforted her with a smile:
"Don't worry, I won't give this to him easily. After all, I feel the same way as you in wanting him to survive!"
Haibara Ai didn't expect to get such an answer. After being stunned for a moment, she smiled and nodded in a good mood.
A few days later, Hoshikawa Kazuaki placed an invitation letter on Kogoro Mori's desk.
"What? Another party at the Kamimura family?"
Kogoro Mouri slammed his hands on the table, looked down at the invitation letter in front of him, smiled happily, and his eyes were almost shining with excitement.
"Are you really here to invite us? That's great. At the last banquet, the wine provided by the Kamimura family was all good wine! We definitely can't miss it this time, hehehe!"
Conan Edogawa looked at Kogoro Mouri's unhappy look, and laughed helplessly, revealing a half-moon eye.
Mao Lilan couldn't bear it any longer and finally shouted, "Dad! How could you do this? Please calm down, it's so rude!"
Xingchuan and Ming shook their hands and said:
"Miss Maori, don't be angry. I invited Mr. Maori this time just to taste the food. After all, the new head of the family wanted to use the banquet to show off his grace, and even considered me as a family member for the sake of reputation. Since there is such a good opportunity to eat and drink for free, there is no way I will let it go. It's no problem to bring Mr. Maori along."
Hearing what Xingchuan and Ming said, the three people present looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They knew to some extent that Xingchuan and Ming had a complicated relationship with the Kamimura family, so it was not appropriate to judge at this time.
Maori Kogoro clenched his fist and coughed lightly, then said in a serious tone:
"Since you've said so, as your teacher, I will definitely support you."
Xingchuan and Ming thanked him with a smile, then turned to Mao Lilan and said:
"Ms. Maori, please come along. You must be very tired from going to school and taking care of the children every day. This is a good opportunity to relax."
As he said this, Hoshikawa Kazuaki glanced at Edogawa Conan, who was watching eagerly from the side. This guy started to frown and look sour just because he said a few kind words to Mao Li Ran, just like a lemon that has not fully opened.
Xingchuan and Ming were amused. This great detective was so jealous even when he was so hesitant in his confession. As long as it came to Mao Lilan, everyone looked like a love rival. So Xingchuan and Ming became even more excited and raised their voices to deliberately say:
"Since Mr. and Ms. Maori have decided to go, why not leave Conan at Dr. Agasa's house for the time being so that they can have more fun. After all, he is a child, so he must like playing with other children more, right?"
