A night of silence.
6:29am the next day.
Conanka reluctantly climbed out of Mao Lilan's warm and fragrant arms on time, and ran to the corridor to call the tool man who was about to wake him up.
"Uncle, wake up, uncle, the person who rings the doorbell will be here soon..."
"Huh? What, the potato seller is coming? I don't want to eat that for breakfast..."
Mouri Kogoro opened his eyes sleepily, his consciousness still a little confused. At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
He jumped up and rushed over.
He quickly opened the four door locks, but when the door opened... there was no figure outside:
"No, it can't be?"
"Liar...why? It's so scary..."
After hearing the noise, Mao Lilan also came to the door to check the situation, and was immediately frightened by the empty corridor.
"There's someone there."
Before opening the door, Conan, who had heard the child's voice with a bug, put his hands in his pockets and stepped to the gap between the newspapers, magazines and the guardrail:
"He's hiding right here."
"You brat, are you asleep?"
Mouri Kogoro walked over with a look of disbelief on his face, "How on earth can such a big man hide in... eh?! A, a child..."
He was immediately stunned, and then the unknown fire burned from the bottom of his heart, and he grabbed the other party's collar:
"Damn it! After doing this for a long time, it turned out to be you. Tell me! Why are you ringing the doorbell randomly?"
"No wonder, because he was a child, he didn't notice it." Mao Lilan suddenly realized.
…It turns out it’s not the FBI.
Shui Wulian looked at the little boy hanging in the air with his two short legs kicking, and subconsciously blurted out:
"I never thought that the person ringing the doorbell would be a child."
After saying that, she suddenly realized that she had made a mistake.
He quickly looked at Mouri Kogoro, and after confirming that the other party was not thinking deeply, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sigh... It's all because I pretended to be too innocent before.
If the person who heard this sentence was the suspicious Gin, I'm afraid he would be able to read the subtext of "suspicious target" within himself without having to think too hard.
Here, Mouri Kogoro saw the child looking like he was about to cry, and put him down first:
"I see, the reason you didn't come to prank last Saturday was because Ms. Reina was on a business trip. There were no extra magazines and newspapers to deal with that week, so you couldn't hide, right?"
He raised his eyes and asked fiercely:
"What do you want to do when you ring the doorbell? Why do you do this kind of thing? I think you are just an ordinary primary school student... Humph, if you don't plan to speak anyway, I have to go find your parents, and then we can meet again Go to the police and have a good talk!”
As he said that, he bent down and hugged the person directly.
"Ah, no, you monster! Let me go!" The little boy struggled.
"Hey! Don't shout randomly, it will cause others to misunderstand!"
Mouri Kogoro was shocked.
If two people take to the streets like this, I'm afraid he will be the first person arrested by the police.
Uncle, can't you even deal with a child?
After Conan's half-moon eyes silently complained, he spoke out to help:
"I think he rang the doorbell just to wake up Sister Reina."
"Huh? You want me to wake up?" Shui Wulian was confused.
"This way Sister Reina can catch up with the "Good Morning at 7 o'clock" program."
Conan pretended to have a pure and innocent expression, and said in a malicious and cute tone:
"I guess he didn't see Reina-san on the "Good Morning Seven O'Clock" program, so he thought she overslept and didn't get up, so she always rang the doorbell on Saturday mornings."
Seeing that several people still looked hesitant, he continued:
"There is no school on Saturday. As long as you ring the doorbell and return home, you can go see if Sister Reina appears in the "Good Morning at 7 o'clock" program."
"What about Tuesday after the October holiday?"
Mouri Kogoro stared at this little boy, "Isn't it possible that you kid skipped class?"
"No, that's supposed to be a day off."
As a Tokyo Shinigami who only goes to school a few days a year, he has a lot to say about holidays:
"Because the Monday after the consecutive holidays in October happens to be the Sports Day, if the school holds a sports meeting on that day, the students will be given a day off the next day to refresh themselves."
"Boy, is what he said true?" Mouri Kogoro was suspicious and stared...
"Dad, don't scare him."
Mao Lilan came over and asked softly:
"You will give Ms. Reina sleeping pills because you want her to sleep more peacefully and not miss the next day's program?"
"Uh-huh!"
The little boy nodded vigorously, "Because mom said you can sleep well after eating that."
"But why do you care so much about me?"
Mizuki Reina walked over, knelt down so that her eyes were level with the little boy's, and asked, "You should have only seen me on TV shows, right?"
In front of Mouri Kogoro, she did not dare to directly reach out and touch the pulse of his neck, so she had to judge whether the little boy was lying through the changes in his pupils.
"Because you are so similar to my mother..."
The little boy's eyes moved slightly to the lower left, "My mother... my mother died in a car accident last year, so... that's why I..."
His voice gradually became softer, and tears welled up in his eyes and fell directly.
Not lying...
The cowardice and nervousness shown are normal reactions of ordinary people, especially children, after realizing that they have done something wrong.
But...the skills he learned so hard and the belief he used to protect his younger brother after his father's death actually forced him to the point where he couldn't help but doubt even the sight of a child?
Shui Wulian closed her eyes and laughed at herself in her heart.
Immediately she opened her eyes, with a bit more reminiscence and tenderness in her eyes, and said softly:
"Kid, I can understand your sadness after losing your mother, but if you always miss your mother like this, it will probably make her in heaven more worried. Since you are a boy, you should be stronger and reassure your mother. It’s okay, so you can’t come here again, this is for your mother...and for yourself, do you understand?”
"Well, I...I know."
The little boy was startled, as if he felt concern from these words. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears and ran towards home. When he reached the corner, he stopped again and waved vigorously:
"Big sister, goodbye!"
"See you."
For your safety, it’s best never to see you again…
Shui Wu Lina silently added the second half of the sentence in her heart, her vision blurred unconsciously.
"Miss Lina, are you okay?" Mao Lilan asked with concern.
"That child reminds me of my younger brother. He also has a very stubborn character..."
Shui Wulian calmed down his emotions and changed the topic:
"By the way, thanks to Mr. Mori's help this time, how much commission fee do I need to pay you?"
"Oh, there's no need for such a trivial matter," Mouri Kogoro said casually, "Actually, it doesn't help much."
Shui Wu Liannai had completely adjusted her mood at this time.
She still can't see through Mouri Kogoro, so she doesn't want to have any contact with this famous detective in the short term.
Besides, I still have to meet up with Gin and the others before 10 o'clock in the morning. The FBI hasn't gotten rid of them yet. If I get entangled with this detective again, the situation will be bad...
Thinking of this, she immediately said:
"But it has taken you so long, so I can at least express my feelings."
"Is that so?"
Mouri Kogoro showed his fox tail directly, "How about I transfer the account to your mobile phone? Well... what is your email number?"
Hey, uncle, can't you see that Xiaolan has clenched her fists?
Conan, with his half-moon eyes, could do nothing against this perverted old man.
