Chapter 218 Twelve Gachapon

Conan Edogawa put his hands in his pockets, walked behind the three children and yawned. The new transfer student had a cold personality and kept a short distance from the children just like him.

Now that he had some free time, Conan finally took the time to observe this mysterious new classmate carefully. However, as soon as he looked over, the other party quickly caught his gaze.

"What?" Huiyuan Ai tucked her hair behind her ears and asked calmly, "Big Detective, do you have anything to say?"

Conan was stunned, but shook his head: "No, nothing."

Hmm? It seems that the transfer student's perception is much stronger than that of ordinary children. In order to hide his identity and participate in various cases, he specially asked Zero for advice on disguise and concealment. He actually found it at the first sight.

And for some reason, Conan sensed some familiar and special aura from a girl named Haibara Ai, but he racked his brains but couldn't remember where he had seen someone with such aura.

"By the way, where does Haibara live?" The children who were chatting in front remembered the transfer student who was following them today, and immediately slowed down their pace and followed Haibara Ai out of curiosity.

After asking her, Ayumi patted her chest confidently and said, "We, the Junior Detective Team, can take you back! It's getting late now, it will be dangerous for you to go alone, right?"

The brown-haired girl didn't seem to want to answer at first, and Conan could see that she didn't like talking to the children around her. She was a somewhat aloof and cold little girl.

Ha, it looks like these kids are going to be disappointed——

"22 Beika-cho 2-chome." Huihara Ai suddenly spoke up, "This is my current address."

The three children pondered for a while and felt that the address sounded familiar. Then they saw Conan, who was always the calmest and most mature among them, change his expression.

"Ah, isn't Conan's home in No. 21?" Mitsuhiko clapped his fists, "Then No. 22 is the doctor's home!"

"So Haibara is the doctor's relative?" Ayumi looked at the transfer student in surprise.

The girl who was being stared at remained calm, and even curled her lips under Conan's gaze: "Ah, for now."

What does it count as? Conan thought.

The kids didn't know, but he didn't know either? How could the doctor have a relative named Huiyuan? He said that it was no wonder that the doctor always asked Zero to prepare an extra dinner during this period.

Conan had been concentrating on reading the mystery novel that Zero gave him these days, so he had no time to distract himself. He thought it was just the doctor's increasing appetite, but it turned out that there was a new child in the doctor's house.

But why didn't the Doctor and Zero tell him? This is unlikely. The Doctor explained that he forgot, and Zero couldn't have failed to guess, so why did he also hide it from him?

The young detective instinctively felt that there was definitely something wrong.

The three children's attention was attracted by the roadside fried food shop, and Conan, who was immersed in his thoughts, was called back by Haibara's voice.

"Ne, great detective, are you reasoning with me now?" Huibara asked leisurely, with her hands behind her back, "Why did I live in the doctor's house, and why did you live next door but didn't know about it——?"

Conan raised his head sharply.

Wait, this means there is another possibility, that is, the other party does not live in the doctor's house at all, and these words are deliberately said to him? !

Haibara laughed softly. She could tell from Conan's expression that he had successfully understood what she wanted to say.

"Yes, I said it on purpose for you to hear." She stopped and Conan was forced to stop as well.

Then he heard Huiyuan Ai call out a name in a very soft voice, probably only he could hear it clearly at this distance: "Kudo Shinichi."

Conan took a half step back reflexively, forced himself to calm down, and tried to cover it up with a laugh: "What are you talking about, Haibara-san, why are you suddenly calling Shinichi-nii-san's name?"

"You really don't feel awkward calling yourself brother?" Huiyuan Ai said delicately, "It's too late to cover it up now. Also, do you really think that after your identity has been exposed, the people around you will be safe?"

Is this transfer student from the organization? This was Conan's first reaction. But Haibara Ai is obviously just an elementary school student, not a dwarf. How can the organization recruit elementary school students?

Looking at Huibara's dark face, Conan knew that he might have said it accidentally.

"Of course it's possible. Don't you know that?" Huiyuan sneered, "aptx4869, this is the name of the medicine you took. As you can see, I took it too."

...what?

In fact, Conan is not as scared as Haibara imagined. After all, if the organization wants to attack the doctor, the first person he cannot escape is the iron fist punishment of his cheap brother Zero who lives next door.

That's a physique that can break a telephone pole with one punch, and according to Zero himself, he can even catch bullets with his bare hands!

"What do you think? If you don't believe it, why don't you call your Professor Agasa and ask him?" Haibara, who knew nothing about Akae's fighting ability, said calmly.

Conan Edogawa sighed. He began to think that this girl was the "surprise" prepared by the doctor and Zero, specially used to deceive him. The name of the medicine might also be made up...

He made the call while speculating, but no one answered.

The Doctor couldn't have really been murdered, right?!

His fingers moved, and he planned to call his cheap brother to ask.

Today, Conan told the other party in advance that he would walk back with the detective team in the evening, so according to usual habit, Zero should still be at home at this time.

should.

Conan didn't make the call because he looked up and saw three people walking out of an alley.

Kenji Hagiwara, the strange blond man and his brother Zero.

Before the young detective started to be shocked, he felt his clothes being pulled tight on his back. The classmate Huihara, who had just threatened him, began to tremble wildly for no reason and hid behind him involuntarily.

"...Run..." He could vaguely hear the frightened voice of Huibara Ai, almost squeezing out from between her teeth.

Conan Edogawa couldn't help but feel confused: If I remember correctly, we were still enemies just now, right?

—

"Detective?"

"Oh, yes, the same profession as Fūya-kun." Toru Amuro has a very gentle and sunny temperament, and no one would be on guard against him at first sight.

As he said the second half of the sentence, he smiled sincerely at the black-haired detective over there: "Even in this area of ​​achievement and reasoning ability, I am still lacking, far from being as good as Furuya-kun."

Even when he was giving compliments, he could make people feel that they came from the heart. This was probably a kind of talent.

"Pfft, cough, cough, no, don't mind me, I just thought of something happy." Hagiwara covered the lower half of his face and turned his head away, trying hard to hold back his laughter, his shoulders shaking without any concealment.

Over there, Ida Kou, who had just sent all his subordinates away, had his mouth twitching and looked like he wanted to laugh, but he had to hold it back in a twisted way in order to maintain the stern image of a police officer.

Akae Nayue looked away silently, pretending that she wasn't laughing her ass off inside, and the recording device in her pocket wasn't on standby all the time. Furuya Rei praised Furuya Rei, that's great.

Amuro Toru had a dark face, knowing very well what his unfortunate classmates were laughing at. He glanced at the detective who seemed to be in a daze, turned around and glared at each of his classmates from an angle that the detective couldn't see.

"Well, then why is this Detective Amuro following behind Hagiwara and Furuya?" Date Kou asked as seriously as possible, suppressing his smile.

"Well... because I received a commission. The client wanted me to help her find her boyfriend who hadn't contacted her for a while."

Toru Amuro explained to Officer Date who was questioning him, with a helpless look on his face: "On the way, I accidentally confused the back of Furuya-kun with the photo of the client's boyfriend... I followed him, and then I found out that it was Officer Hagiwara and this person. After that, I knew I must have found the wrong person and was about to leave, but I didn't expect to run into this oolong."

"That's why I said that I'm still far behind Fūya-kun."

Of course, in order to play the role to the end, this client actually exists. Amuro Toru has been patiently managing his fake identity and specially found an excuse from the commission.

He estimated that it would be difficult to explain to Hagiwara and the others. This guy who used his name would definitely not believe it, right?

"Can I take a look at that commission?" the three heard the detective ask.

"Eh? Although I have leaked the client's information to the officer, I am still cooperating with the investigation." Amuro Toru spread his hands with an embarrassed look on his face. "As you know, if a detective leaks the client's specific information, he won't have to work in this line of work. Can I ask why you want to know this?"

At the same time, Toru Amuro was thinking about other things.

In fact, he also thought about searching Kudo's house when the other party and the child were not at home, but the detective seemed to have taken precautions in advance and placed many high-tech products provided by Dr. Agasa next door in the house, which would be triggered and exposed if they were not careful.

The public security department has no intention of bringing the conflict with the detective to the surface for the time being. After all, they still don't know why the detective appears with this face and this name, so Toru Amuro can only put his house search plan on hold.

But don’t worry, there will probably be more opportunities later.

"It's just a practice for my brother." The detective said coldly, and rejected his attempt without any leaks. "The reward is all Mr. Amuro's. I only need this case."

Date Ko really wanted to continue watching the show, but he had other things to do at the Metropolitan Police Department, so he had to reluctantly part with the three of them. The three of them walked out of the alley while chatting about the case exchange (mainly Hagiwara and Amuro talking, and the taciturn detective listening).

Just then, I ran into the Young Detective Team who were walking home along this road.

At this moment, Conan, looking at his brother, also inexplicably remembered.

When he first met Zero, the other person's aura was exactly the same as that of Haibara Ai just now... Was it because Haibara was really a member of the organization, or was Zero also...

Conan shook his head and threw away all the unreasonable speculations.

Zero doesn't look like a member of the organization. Besides, how can an organization sell its own assassin as a Gachapon brother? Ha, is he being taken advantage of?
