"Shirakawa! Here, here!"
On the holiday beach, after completing the decisive reasoning, Bai Heqing left the scene of the crime with Bai Heying and Kudo Shinichi.
Among the crowd watching from behind, Kudo Yukiko waved to him.
"It's been a long time since I saw you reasoning. You couldn't guess the identity of the robber just by listening to the descriptions of the two children, right?"
"The wording is not correct, it's not a guess, it's a very serious reasoning." Bai Heqing nodded to Sharon first, then looked at her and replied with a smile.
"Yes, yes, you guys are really amazing. You guys can see through the clues at a glance even though I have no clue about it. I've seen it again today. No wonder Yusaku often talks about your reasoning ability. Never below him..."
"Hmm... Although this sentence seems to be praising me, I don't know what's going on. No matter how I listen to it, I feel like someone is secretly praising her husband through me?"
"Bai He, a well-educated man should remain silent at this time instead of speaking out directly, do you understand?"
After her little idea was exposed, Kudo Yukiko didn't show any embarrassment. Instead, she put her hands on her hips and stared at him to "teach Shirakawa a lesson".
"Really, with such a bad character, how did Sharon fall in love with you before?"
"Sharon, Yukiko is asking you."
After receiving her teasing, Bai Heqing threw a "Tai Chi Push Hand" to Sharon next to him.
"Yeah, how did you fall in love with it?" Seeing that both of them asked this question to themselves, Sharon thought about it seriously and replied: "Maybe I was blind at the time?"
As if she suddenly remembered something from the past, when Sharon said this, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"Wow, you still remember things after so long, isn't someone too narrow-minded?" Bai Heqing leaned back slightly and looked at her in surprise.
"I can't help it. That was the first time someone got angry at me. Of course I have to remember such a rare memory clearly." Sharon said with a smile.
"Eh? Did you two have a fight before?" Yukiko looked a little surprised when she heard this.
In Yukiko's impression, the relationship between Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Sharon is far better than that of an ordinary couple. She and Yusaku would occasionally quarrel, but these two people never quarreled. Even if they occasionally had any differences, they would be resolved on the spot. The main thing is an exemplary standard.
"It's nothing, it happened a long time ago." Bai Heqing and Sharon replied in unison.
"Hey, the sour smell hit my face..."
As if she was suddenly hit by something, Yukiko Kudo curled her lips, moved a little away from the two people, and said with deliberate disgust:
"You two, be careful, there are children here."
"That's true."
Nodding his head, Bai Heqing reached out and touched the hair of Bai Heying and Kudo Shinichi, and said in a coaxing tone:
"Just now, these were all topics discussed by adults. Even if children accidentally overhear it, they should forget it as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
"I'm not a child anymore!" He slapped Shirakawa Kiyoshi's hand away in displeasure. Kudo Shinichi raised his head and glared at him and said, "I'm seven years old this year! I'm already in elementary school!"
"Yes, yes, I'm almost growing up..." Bai Heqing's tone was extremely perfunctory.
"besides!"
Suddenly raising his finger and pointing at Shirakawa Kiyo, Kudo Shinichi suddenly felt nervous and shy, but he immediately overcame this emotion, looked at Shirakawa Kiyo, and said loudly:
"Uncle Baihe, your reasoning just now is very powerful, but I will definitely become a more powerful detective than you in the future!"
"It's really ambitious."
Smiling and clapping his hands, Bai Heqing looked at the quiet Bai Heying beside him.
"Aying, you should also learn more from Xinyi."
"No, Sister Jing is enough for me." Bai Heying immediately refused.
Her sister is a decathlete. With such a sister who has no shortcomings, Bai Heying doesn't want to work hard at all.
"The kids in your family have such a good relationship..." Kudo Yukiko sighed a little when she saw this, "Should I have another one to keep Shinichi company?"
Yukiko was a little tempted, but after glancing at Kudou Shinichi, she immediately gave up the idea.
"Forget it, it's too tiring to take care of a child. Even if you really want to, at least wait until Shinichi grows up and let his brother take care of him, hehe..."
"Hey! Mom! I heard it!"
"Oh, why don't you just pretend you didn't hear it? You brat..."
"Yukiko, why did your family come to San Francisco?" At this time, Shirakawa Qing asked.
"Oh, I just came here for a vacation and took a look at the house. After all, Yusaku and I plan to settle in the United States in the future." Yukiko Kudo replied.
Several people were chatting while walking towards the parasol where Bai Hejing was.
"That's true, rich people generally like to go to this country." Bai Heqing nodded, expressing understanding.
"Okay! You're making fun of me, right? You and your wife are obviously the richer one, right?"
Recognizing the hidden meaning in Shirakawa Kiyo's words, Kudo Yukiko glared at him again.
"In order to make money, I have been busy with things in your company all day long, and we always go on business trips together, leaving Xiaojing to take care of her sister at home alone.
I heard Xiaojing say that you originally planned to take the sisters out to play today, right? As a result, I ran to the company again temporarily. Although the problem is not your fault, if you usually spend more time with them, why are you rushing for this little time now?
Really, don’t waste your time on unimportant things, and pay more attention to your children, right? "
"Well, indeed, you are right."
Shirakawa Kiyoshi, who quickly realized what Kudo Yukiko was talking about and was "reprimanded" by her, nodded and said seriously:
"Sharon and I have indeed been thinking about retiring recently. After all, we are both in our forties. We are halfway through our lives, and we don't really like the kind of life where we spend all day outside..."
"More than forty years old..."
When Bai Heqing mentioned this, Yukiko suddenly realized that Bai Heqing was indeed much older than her.
To be precise, he is nineteen years older.
However, there is obviously such a big age gap between the two, but why is there almost no difference between Bai Heqing's appearance and hers?
The two appear to be the same age.
Even Sharon, who is three years younger than Shirakawa Kiyo, seems to Yukiko to be a few years older than Shirakawa Kiyo...
"White River."
Looking blankly at Shirakawa Kiyo's face, Yukiko subconsciously spoke out what was in her heart.
"Why do I feel like you are younger now than you were when I saw you a few years ago?"
