The living room of No. 22, 2-chome was very lively.
Conan skipped the step of ringing the doorbell, changed his shoes from the entrance, and looked out to see Haibara, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta playing a 2V2 fighting game.
He calmed down and walked over to say hello to a few people.
Tonight Xiaolan is going to school to participate in the karate club's training session, while her toolmaker is meeting up with friends for a drink.
The children just called. Instead of following an uncle who always gets drunk when he drinks, wouldn't it be nice to ask Akai Shuichi for some information and then have a dinner cooked by Saraichi?
but……
"Where's the doctor?"
Conan was a little surprised that he didn't see a certain inventor.
Because usually when the children come over to play games, Dr. Ali will look at them from a place not too far away, with an expression like 'How great it would be if this were my grandson or granddaughter'.
Haibara Ai didn't answer immediately. He pressed the game controller to finish the fighting game, then turned his head half-way and said:
"The doctor and Brother Gengyi went out together."
She didn't say anything about the two going to 'pick up the car', lest the children follow her and watch on a whim.
It turns out Brother Geng is not here either?
But where will he and the Doctor go?
Conan was about to ask when he saw that after Haihara Ai finished saying this, he turned his head to play a video game. He had no choice but to shrug and sit on a bench, browsing the crime column of the news channel on his mobile phone.
More than an hour later.
It seems...there has been no information on the shooting since yesterday.
Conan changed his position and prepared to take a look at news from other regions.
"You're not investigating something from us again, are you?" Haiyuan Ai came to him at some point.
? ! !
Conan was frightened and barely managed to grab the phone without throwing it on the floor. He raised his head and lied:
"What are you talking about? I just took a look..."
"Huh? What are you looking at?"
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta also came over: "Is it the fireworks show tonight?"
Fireworks party?
Yes... there seems to be such an event... Conan was startled for a moment and responded:
"Ah, it's just fireworks, and there's nothing interesting to see. It's better for everyone to go home early."
Since the injury on his neck still hurts, even if yesterday's experience hadn't happened, looking up at fireworks or something like that wouldn't be suitable for him now.
"What are you doing, Conan, why are you such a spoiler?"
Yuantai said dissatisfied: "We came to see the doctor and brother Gengyi just to watch the fireworks together tonight!"
"I also asked my mother for some pocket money, so I can buy a lot of delicious food." Bumi said.
"I remember that there was a goldfish fishing stall at the night market, which was just the right time to show off your skills!" Mitsuhiko rolled up his sleeves, but unfortunately he didn't attract the admiring eyes of Ayumi and Haibara.
Hui Yuan Ai looked at the clock on the wall, remained silent for a few seconds and said:
"I remember the time for setting off fireworks is 6:30, right? It's already 5:05 now, and the doctor and Brother Gengyi haven't come back yet..."
In fact, what she wants to express is very simple, that is, unless the two of them come back now, it will be past 7 o'clock if they cook and eat, and they will only be able to catch up with the intermission if they set out to watch the fireworks. .
As for going directly to the night market to eat all-you-can-eat fried food, it is not in her plan for the time being.
She will not easily give Dr. Ari the opportunity to provide similar excuses!
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta understood part of it.
Conan, on the other hand, saw the crisis directly through its essence.
Something's wrong!
What on earth did those two people do...
Conan didn't have time to think deeply, so he immediately took out his cell phone and dialed Dr. A Li's number.
Toot toot—
Seven or eight seconds later, the phone was picked up, and Dr. A Li's voice came from the speaker:
"Shinichi?"
Before Conan could release the breath he was holding in his chest, he was shocked by this title and raised it again.
Huh? This one is 'Conan''s mobile phone.
A certain detective boy thought he had picked up the wrong phone in a hurry.
But after reacting, he realized the problem. Didn't the doctor go out with Brother Gengyi?
The doctor would not call himself 'Conan' in private... This also means that Brother Geng is not around!
"Well……"
Under the gaze of the children, it was not convenient for him to avoid being too obvious. He could only take a few steps to the side and lowered his voice:
"Doctor, where are you? Isn't Brother Gengyi next to you..."
"Gengyi is handling business at the counter, and I'm resting here." Dr. A Li was still a little strange after finishing speaking.
...Didn't Xiao Ai tell Xinyi that they came out to pick up the car?
Handling business?
In an instant, the imagined scene of the two people being kidnapped and brutally tortured was shattered...
Conan coughed dryly and breathed a sigh of relief after asking about the situation.
All right.
It was because he was impatient, Huiyuan didn't say it, but it was mainly because he didn't bother to ask.
"It turns out that brother Gengyi bought a new car." Ayumi said.
"Um."
Hui Yuan Ai smiled and nodded: "You can sit down when you go out from now on."
"Very good!"
The good news keeps coming.
However, Mitsuhiko and Genta were deeply confused by the behavior of a certain detective boy, and leaned close to the phone with their ears close:
"Doctor! When will you come back? Let's watch the fireworks tonight!"
"Yes, everyone is looking forward to it..."
"Oh! Everyone is here. Are you talking about the fireworks show tonight?"
Dr. A Li responded with a smile: "I'm looking forward to it too. As for this..."
He paused briefly, as if to confirm something, and then said after a moment: "It will be ready in about ten minutes."
"Long live the doctor!" the three children cheered.
Conan also felt that he seemed to be overly sensitive, and said with half-moon eyes: "What about everyone's dinner?"
The three children were silent.
Hui Yuan Ai also cast a staring gaze.
Conan turned on speakerphone.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
Not long after, a calm voice came:
"Let's eat in the shop outside and get ready. I'll pick you up after completing the formalities here."
"There's no need to pick us up, brother Gengyi. I remember that the place to apply for license plates should be near the night market. We'll go directly to meet you..."
Mitsuhiko is the one who is most familiar with landmark buildings among the children. While talking, he took out his mobile phone and opened the map to confirm.
"Then let's set off now!" Yuantai's character is not calm at all, and he wants to run out now.
"It's on our way anyway, it's best for everyone to go home and get a coat." Haihara Ai suggested.
Due to the concealment of information by a certain detective boy, she was not too vigilant about going out to watch fireworks.
Conan: "..."
Uh...this slightly unpleasant feeling of déjà vu...
So, this matter has been decided like this?
