This isn't the first time.
Edogawa Conan discovered a long time ago that Kuroki Jin seemed to be very fond of the Mouri family. The most recent incident was in that restaurant, which directly revealed the familiar relationship between Mouri Kogoro and Miss Towako from the nightclub.
And for someone like Tsuji Hiroki, he could actually think of it right away because it was just a matter of meeting and playing ball on the weekend.
"It's easy to gather people with numerical names around Mr. Mori." Kuroki Jin avoided Conan's question and didn't answer, "His own name contains the number five, and Mr. Sawaki's name was the one he just met over the weekend. I have an eight in my name, and Kudo-kun’s name is a one.”
"Mr. Kuroki's name has two in it. Officer Shiratori just said that his name has three in it...it seems like it's almost the same."
Shiratori counted the people he just mentioned again in his mind, and then called Officer Megure and told them that in addition to Miss Towako, there was a candidate with the number ten and a bunch of numbers lined up.
At this time, the car was almost driving to the Maori Detective Agency.
"Then Conan-kun and I will get off first." Mao Lilan leaned over to say hello gently, not forgetting to thank Officer Shiratori for sending him off.
Conan couldn't help but glanced at Haiyuan Ai, who was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, and got out of the car with Xiaolan.
He could feel that Xiaolan was still thinking about what happened that year, and her mood was not as optimistic as she showed.
The car door was closed, Haibara Ai opened her eyes from pretending to be dead, and she and Kuroki Jin said almost in unison: "Go find Tsuji Hiroki."
Shiratori was startled by the synchronized reactions of the two people, and then opened his mouth to refuse.
"I thought of the candidate. Officer Shiratori will probably not leave me behind." Kuroki Ren blocked his mouth. The next second, Haibara said sadly: "That person hurt the doctor. I just want to go home now." Are you comfortable living alone?"
Shiratori really wanted to reply, "Don't worry. It's not the first time we've met each other. Plus Conan just got off the bus, you two can't treat you like ordinary children."
Shiratori will never forget the scene when he was knocked unconscious by the bomb, there were noisy screams all around, and only this seven-year-old girl squatted beside him with a calm face to diagnose him.
But he just smiled innocently, and the car turned around after passing the intersection in front.
Conan, who was comforting Xiaolan in the office, moved his ears and heard the voice coming from the bug in his ear.
Shiratori received Megure's order to rush to Tsuji Hiroki's home immediately, and he was also calling Tsuji Hiroki to tell him that someone wanted to kill him.
Unfortunately, no one answered Tsuji Hiroki's call. After calling his assistant, he found out that there was a helicopter taking off early tomorrow morning. In order to ensure sleep, Tsuji Hiroki should have gone to bed early and turned off his mobile phone.
As a professional baseball player, his address will not be leaked. Even if there is a policeman on the other side, the assistant will dismiss him with just a few words. In desperation, Megure had no choice but to call Shiratori and ask them to gather at the departure point of the plane early in the morning and try to stop Hiroki Tsuji from committing dangerous acts.
Hearing the news, Kuroki Jin sighed with some disappointment. Watching Shiratori drive back to take them home, he said dullly: "I'll get off the car at the doctor's house too, and we'll walk later." …”
"That's just right. I was worried that Haibara-san said just now that she would be scared to live alone. It would be great if Mr. Kuroki could stay at Dr. Agasa's house for one night."
Kuroki Jin: "???"
Haibara Ai:"!!!"
"What did Mr. Kuroki say next? I didn't hear it." Shiratori asked cheerfully.
Kuroki Ren: "..."
"It's nothing." He turned his head to the side and looked out the car window, "I mean what you said."
At night, the two people, one large and one small, watched in silence as the taillights of White Bird's car disappeared into the dark night. With the cool breeze blowing, they looked up at the dark mansion of the doctor's house.
"Turn off Conan's listening device." Kuroki Jin said.
"Oh." Haiyuan Ai casually pressed on a small object. Just by thinking about it, Kuroki Ren could picture Conan jumping angrily somewhere else.
"Then...if it's inconvenient for you, I can go home for a walk." Kuroki Ren was a little embarrassed. He wanted to reach out and scratch his head. Halfway through, he felt that this was too obvious, so he had to stretch out his raised hand. A lazy person.
Haibara Ai:"……"
She took a deep breath, exhaled it for a long time, and said in a voice that sounded a bit gritty to Kuroki Ren: "I'm hungry!"
"Ah? Oh." Kuroki Ren blinked and followed Haihara Ai's steps into the door of the doctor's house.
He was a little dazed, but not stupid. The hint was so obvious. It would be really embarrassing if he pretended to be stupid again.
So he rolled up his sleeves very diligently, went straight to the kitchen to wash his hands, then stood at the kitchen door waving his wet hands and asked: "What are you eating?"
Huiyuan Ai, who wasn't actually very hungry at first, was really a little hungry after hearing this, the kind of hunger that wanted to eat human flesh.
She was silent for two seconds, raised her head and smiled slightly: "Just noodles."
With the instinct of a small animal, Kuroki Ren felt that there was something dangerous behind this smile.
He acted one step faster than his mind and turned around to go to the kitchen to work on noodles. He didn't hear Hai Yuan Ai sigh deeply but softly in the living room.
After eating two bowls of hot noodles, the two of them, who had been worried all day long, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa facing each other, not wanting to move at all.
It was Kuroki Jin who asked lazily first: "Have you been with Sister Airi again in the past two days?"
He didn't say it in detail, but Haihara Ai knew what he was referring to.
"No, that day has passed." Hui Yuan Ai shook his head, then took out his cell phone from his pocket, "I forgot to send a message to my sister to say that I was home."
Kuroki Ren looked at Haihara Ai who was lowering his head and typing quickly, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Aren't you curious?" He suddenly asked, "Why Miss Mingmei can only stay there and can't come out."
Haihara Ai raised his head in the middle of typing and glanced at Kuroki Ren as if he were a fool.
"There are organized people everywhere outside, and the chance of my sister being discovered is too high."
"...That's right." Kuroki Ren touched his nose, not knowing how to proceed with the topic.
After sending a message, Haibara Ai Dekong came to greet the bored Kuroki Ren, "I haven't asked yet, why did you save your sister?"
"Huh?" Kuroki Ren came to his senses in a daze, quickly ran through the question in his head, and then answered: "There's no reason, it just happened."
"It's not easy." Hui Yuan Ai said softly, "Switching ambulances, arranging to replace the body, finding a forensic doctor to get through, and finding such a big but unobtrusive place to house my sister, it can't be done smoothly no matter how you think about it."
Kuroki Ren: "..."
You may not believe it, but he only changed an ambulance for the above.
Judging from Miyano Akemi's attitude when the two sisters met that night, we knew that the other party didn't want Haibara Ai to know her secret, so as a person who knew the secret, he could only keep his mouth shut, otherwise he would definitely ask both sides. Not good enough.
If Miyano Akemi's secret is rashly leaked, even if the target is her biological sister, Kuroki Jin's credibility will be compromised by her. This is one of the reasons.
The second is that if the little guy asking questions in front of him learns the truth from him, I am afraid that he will turn around and have a showdown with his sister, and then find out that it was him, Kuroki Ren, who leaked his sister's secret on his own initiative. His discount may The intensity will be even greater.
In just a moment, Kuroki figured out the pros and cons. He opened his mouth with a perfect smile, but a lie was stuck in his mouth and he couldn't say it.
Putting aside the pros and cons, Kuroki Ren discovered that he did not want to deceive Haibara Ai.
