Conan turned around suspiciously and followed Xiaolan to the elevator.
When he reached the general area, he suddenly remembered that Shirai didn't seem to be planning to follow him?
Conan turned around suddenly and found that behind him, Shiraijiu was nowhere to be found.
? !
Conan suddenly felt something bad and quickly looked around, looking for Shirai Jiu.
Hall, entrance, bathroom...
No, no, still not...
etc……
Conan suddenly focused his attention on a man wearing a black priest's robe.
Black... black...
Seeing that figure calmly walking out of the door, Conan's mind couldn't help but picture the faces of Gin and Vodka.
That person, those clothes... If I remember correctly, the last time we were on the Shinkansen, there was a man wearing a priest's robe, following Gin and Vodka.
The code name is...
Burn autumn!
There’s no mistake, it’s definitely him!
What is he doing here at this time?
Wait, Shiraijiu is missing...
Is this guy going to hide himself again and stalk people from the black organization? ! ! Do you want to be so reckless? !
Conan gritted his teeth and wanted to follow, but the next moment, his back collar was caught.
"Kid, where else do you want to run? Don't you have anything to explain to me about half of the accommodation fee in this hotel?"
Above his head, Kogoro Mouri's gloomy voice with suppressed anger made Conan's scalp numb, and he subconsciously hugged his own head.
"Ah...but..."
Conan subconsciously wanted to mention Bai Jingjiu and drag her into the water, but he stopped instantly - if Bai Jingjiu really ran to follow the man in black, then he would ask Uncle Maoli and Xiaolan to go find her together. Wasn't it just a matter of alerting the enemy and putting three people in danger at the same time?
So, he had no choice but to follow Mouri Kogoro into the elevator angrily.
When the elevator door closed, Conan looked deeply at the seemingly safe and lively lobby with people coming and going outside.
But don’t let anything happen to you, Shirai Shuko...
A man in a shabby tuxedo walked out of the lobby expressionlessly playing playing cards in his hand as the elevator door closed.
Shirai Sang: [Oh, now Xiaojiu has to make up a story again when he goes back~ I really feel sorry for you~]
Shiraijiu: [...Hmph! 】
Shiraiji: [Haha, pay attention to your speech. It sounds like you are dissatisfied with the way liquor is being treated. 】
Shirai Sho: [Huhuhuhu~]
Shirai Ao: [...Why did Baijiu let this guy go on a mission? 】
Shirai Zuiko: [How about I come. 】
Nuomi: [Chirp! 】
…
On the top floor of the hotel, Bai Jingjiu sat on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the boundless sea in front of him, shaking his feet.
Shirai Qusheng looked at this small figure, and the longing in his heart was comforted at this moment.
The meaning of life is Xiaojiu.
Realizing that Shirai Qusheng had come over, Shirai Jiu turned to look at him, tilted his head, and motioned for him to come over and sit down.
Shirai Kosheng walked over obediently and sat down side by side with Shirai Jiu.
"How are you doing in the organization?" Knowing Shirai Qusheng's character, Shirai Jiu took the initiative to ask.
As for the puppet Qu Sheng, to be honest, since it was a personal will born when Baijiu was away, Baijiu's control over him is somewhat weak.
It's not that I can't control it, it's just, well, how should I put it?
As puppet masters with unlimited time, no matter how they appear on the outside, they are still lonely at their core. Therefore, if your puppet is born with an independent consciousness and behaves as if it is a person, then it is considered qualified as a relative and friend who can always accompany you.
If there was a second puppet master or more in the world, then Baijiu might still look like he was playing house with himself and would be too naive to indulge Shirai Kosei like this.
However, who made me the only puppet master in this world?
…
He is the only one left...
sigh.
Feeling Shiraijiu's loneliness, Shirai Qusheng didn't understand it, but felt distressed and started to talk more rarely.
"Boss, I killed a lot of people, but I can't absorb the resentment. It's a pity."
"Gin always wants to kill me, I don't understand."
"The organization doesn't trust me yet, and the only ones I've come into contact with so far are gin and vodka."
"There is also a woman named Shirley. She seems to be Miyano Akemi's sister and is making trouble because of her sister's death."
"The organization is considering whether to give up on her."
"She is one of the drug researchers working on APTX4869."
Baijiu listened quietly to Shirai Qusheng's narration, nodding slightly in response from time to time. When he heard Shirley, he said "oh" and became interested, "You care about her?"
"She... is very, very willful." Shirai Qusheng thought for a while and answered honestly: "I think it would be a pity if she died."
"Really?" Baijiu nodded, "Then don't let her die."
"..." Shirai Qusheng frowned, feeling that Xiaojiu's words were too easy. That was a black organization, "It's not that easy."
Baijiu sighed, shook his head and stood up, touching Shirai Kosheng's unusually good-feeling hair, "For the people of the Shirai family, there is nothing that is impossible."
"You have to trust your family..."
As soon as Bai Jingjiu finished speaking, a man's voice answered behind them. Shirai Kosei couldn't help but look back, and saw Shirai Sang, who was wearing a black tuxedo and a top hat, smiling, walking over gracefully, and handing him a colorful clown card condescendingly against the light.
"My stupid brother——"
Shirai Kyū: [Checking in famous scenes]
Yui Shirai: [Checking in famous scenes]
Shirai Ao: [Checking in famous scenes]
Shirai Zuiko: [+1]
Liquor: [+2]
Nuomi: [Chirp! 】
Kosei Shirai took the clown card obediently, without realizing it.
…
Below them, the 19th floor of the Izu Princess Hotel, 1902.
After Conan succinctly and concisely explained the rules of this hotel activity to Maori and his daughter, Maori Kogoro became blindly confident as expected, and immediately went out, saying that he was going to investigate.
Xiaolan only realized at this time that Shiraijiu was missing. She went to the corridor to look around, then went to 1903 and knocked on the door. Finally, she asked Conan in a daze, "Conan, do you know where Xiaojiu went?"
Conan was shocked. In order not to implicate Xiaolan, he had to cover for Shiraijiu, "Ah haha, I don't know, maybe he was hanging out in the hotel..."
Really, this is the first time. Every time I see the man in black, I run forward without any caution. Just like that, I still have the nerve to preach to him on the beach...
"That's not possible. Even in a hotel, it's too dangerous for Xiaojiu to move alone." Xiaolan was also secretly surprised - because Shirai Shuko has always been very worry-free, and besides, She was not really a primary school student, so it took her so long to realize that Jiuzi was missing!
Xiaolan looked at Conan who was feeling guilty and took his hand directly, "Let's go find her now!"
...Shouldn't it arouse Shinichi's suspicion...?
208. Family, trust
