England, 8 o'clock in the morning.
Ikegana sat at the dining table, looked at the phone that was hung up, and looked at Lydia with a sad face.
Lidya suppressed her speechlessness and said, "What's wrong with you? If you have any troubles, you can tell me."
"I only remember Girls' Day, but I missed Boys' Day, which was overdue. I have never helped him celebrate it, and I always feel bad..." Ikekana was a little frustrated, thought for a while, and called Kuroba Chikage.
"Qianying... no, it's nothing serious. I just want to ask you, if it were you, what gift would you give your son?"
"Huh? Birthday gift?"
"That's right..."
"That must be a girl, give him a beautiful and cute girl~!"
Ikegana: "???"
Upon hearing this, Kuroba Qianying guessed that Chikana probably wanted to give Chi Feichi a gift, and encouraged him enthusiastically, "If you can, pack a few more, put on various styles of clothes, and put them in exquisite gift boxes." , send it to him and give him a big surprise~"
Chi Janai imagined the scene in his mind and felt that it was more likely that Chi Feichi's face turned dark. He called out gently, "Qianying..."
"Ah?" Kuroyu Qianying was confused.
A smile appeared on Ikegana's face, "Goodbye."
"Wait for me……"
"Beep...beep..."
…
The next day, 4pm in Tokyo.
Elementary school students walking home from school together on the road.
Ayumi leaned next to Haiyuan Ai, looking at the pictures sent from the UL chat software window, and said with envy, "What a beautiful doll! Is this the picture Brother Chi sent this morning?"
"Well..." Hui Yuan Ai flipped through the photos on his phone, "He found them from the warehouse last night. The dolls were all put in boxes and well collected. However, there was a lot of dust on the display table. He cleaned them up today. I just sent the photo..."
"Ayumi, there are Dolls' Day dolls for sale in stores too!" Genta said, pointing to the cupboard of a street store.
Ayumi's attention was attracted, and Mitsuhiko followed.
Hui Yuan Ai looked up, then lowered his head to look through the photos on his phone.
After the picture of the doll, there were ornaments such as a heavy box, a sedan chair, and a potted cherry blossom plant, which were still placed in the box. Chi Feichi probably just opened them and took pictures to show her.
Conan saw the three little ghosts lying next to the window looking at the dolls, and felt a little emotional about his youth. He turned around and saw Hai Yuan Ai lowering his eyes softly and looking at the photos on his phone. He was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice, "You should have often done this when you were a child. Arrange dolls?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Haiyuan Ai came back to her senses, but still couldn't bear to look away from the photo, "Before I can remember, I was sent to study in the United States, so this is the first time I have come into contact with Dolls' Day dolls. …My parents seemed to have bought them for my sister, but my parents passed away not long after I was born. In order not to think of these sad things, my sister kept the dolls and never took them out…”
Conan was silent for a moment, "Then...how did your parents die?"
"It is said that he died in an accident during the research process," Haibara mourned. "Someone else told my sister."
"Research?" Conan wondered.
"Although my mother's name is not very loud, there are very few people who do research who have not heard of my father's name, Miyano Atsushi." The softness on Haihara Ai's face disappeared and she looked at Conan, “Everyone said he was a mad scientist who was exiled from academia.”
"Mad, mad scientist?!" Conan was surprised for a moment and asked nervously, "Then you said before that you inherited your parents' research and engaged in drug development... What kind of drug is that?"
"The secret medicine that revives the dead..." Haiyuan Ai lowered his head, making Conan unable to see the expression on his face. He quickly turned to look at Conan with a teasing smile on his lips, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Then," Conan murmured in shock, "everything written on that disk is true..."
"I knew it," Haibara Ai said in a relaxed tone, looking at Conan, "The article you and Dr. Ali read on the computer a few days ago contained clues about them, right? Moreover, you also based on That clue led me to where those people would go, but I didn't expect that while you were waiting, you fell asleep in the iron cabinet unknowingly. Is my guess correct?"
"Ah, yes." Conan quickly smiled to hide his guilt.
How should I put it, he almost fell to his knees that night.
"But don't worry," Haiyuan Ai looked down at the photos on the phone again and said softly, "What I really want to study is not that unrealistic drug at all, but a ridiculous thing. Most of the earth No one understands its value, so to speak, it is similar to the Doll’s Day dolls that little girls in Japan need.”
"Hey..." Conan Khan.
The value that most people on Earth don't understand... is the idea of getting close to alien life? Haiyuan's thoughts seemed quite strange.
Not quite normal...
Haiyuan Ai felt something strange in Conan's eyes, half-moon eyes, "What's wrong?"
"Uh, no, it's nothing," Conan forcibly changed the subject, "Then where do you plan to place your Doll's Day doll? At the doctor's place? Or..."
"I don't know. Maybe it's because I feel like I've stolen someone else's things, and I can't always make claims with peace of mind." Hui Yuan Ai looked down at the phone screen, "My godmother said this was given to her by her mother. , she only displayed it once when she was a child. Although she said that she brought it to Japan as a souvenir, and then when she gets older, she can find a little girl she likes and give it away, but this is probably what she plans to leave to her daughter. Things, so to speak, probably because you don’t want to put any psychological burden on me..."
"no."
Conan heard a familiar, extremely calm male voice coming from behind him, and was frightened with goosebumps all over his body. When he looked back, he saw that Chi Feichi had arrived behind him again.
Chi Feichi walks really silently, and he always likes to say something quietly behind him, as if he appears out of thin air. It's so scary!
Hui Yuan Ai was also startled, raised his head, and looked at Chi Feichi confused.
So the question is, where did Brother Fei Chi come from? How much did you hear?
Chi Feichi explained to Haiyuan Ai, "I'm not a girl, and my mother doesn't plan to have any more children. She originally planned to leave it to my future girlfriend, but by the time I find a girlfriend, that girl should have passed the time." Given your age, if you don’t want it, there will be no place to give it to you.”
"Really..." Haiyuan was speechless.
From Brother Fei Chi's words, the Doll's Day dolls that have been passed down for three generations are like worthless things that cannot be given away. It really... instantly makes people feel less psychologically burdened.
"Can I leave it to your future children?" Conan immediately found the flaw in Chi Feichi's words, but regretted it after he said it.
Isn't this adding psychological burden to Huiyuan?
"I have both children." Chi Feichi said expressionlessly.
"Son, both sons and daughters?!" Conan was surprised.
Hui Yuan Ai also rarely lost his composure and looked at Chi Feichi with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Could it be that Brother Chi secretly got married and had children?
Yuantai, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko heard Conan's exclamation and turned around in confusion. When they saw Chi Feichi, they immediately gathered around him.
"Brother Chi, when did you come?"
"What are you whispering about?"
"What Conan said about having both children and daughters..."
"It's about me," Chi Feichi said calmly, "Hiroki is the son and Isogai is the daughter. Life is complete."
Conan: "..."
Is this a forced 'life is complete'?
Haibara Ai:"……"
At Ms. Isogai's age, she really doesn't need to put up dolls...
"Isogai?" Genta was confused, "Who is it?"
"Brother Chi and I met at an event before," Conan explained silently. Isogai Nagisa was in his thirties, so these little guys can call them aunties, "because brother Chi drank her deceased father's favorite drink that day. cocktail, and she kept jokingly calling Brother Chi ‘Daddy’.”
"So that's it." Mitsuhiko understood.
"Is Brother Chi here to take Haiyuan to see Dolls' Day dolls?" Gentai asked.
"Let me ask Xiao Ai where he plans to put it," Chi Feichi looked at Haihara Ai, "If it's going to be at Dr. A Li's house or my apartment, I'll drive the doll over."
Haiyuan Ai struggled for a while. Logically speaking, the dolls should be placed at the Chi family villa, but if she and Chi Feichi left on Women's Day, Dr. A Li would be left alone. She always felt too lonely, "Just leave it." Let’s put it in your apartment. Anyway, we only need to put it up on Women’s Day, so I’ll ask Dr. Ali to go there with us.”
Then just compromise, there's nothing wrong with it.
Chi Feichi nodded, indicating that he had no objection.
"That's great..." Ayumi was envious again.
Genta turned to look at Ayumi in confusion, "Don't Ayumi's families also have very beautiful dolls?"
"Huh?" Ayumi was stunned, looking lost.
Mitsuhiko reminded Genta in a low voice, "Genta, have you forgotten? You were the one who dropped the Ayumi family's queen doll to the ground last year, breaking her hands and neck..."
"Ah," Genta remembered and scratched his head in embarrassment, "S-I'm sorry, Ayumi."
"Send it to us for repair. Can it be repaired easily?" Haiyuan Ai asked doubtfully.
"Of course it can be repaired," Mitsuhiko explained with a 'hard to explain' look, "but during the repair, the repairman was accidentally injured, and the doll's face was stained with blood. Later, he finally managed to repair it. After the doll was repaired, a dog named Biqi from the aunt's house next door suddenly ran over and took the doll to Bumi's house and gave it to Bumi. When Bumi saw the doll, the paint the master had applied to cover up the blood peeled off. His hair is disheveled, do you think you can still look at the bloody and disheveled baby?"
Haibara Ai:"……"
It's... miserable.
Conan thought about the doll's appearance and found it scary, "Hey, hey, stop talking..."
"That doll seems to be cursed!" Yuantai said with emotion.
Feichi poked his head out of Chi Feichi's collar and looked up at Chi Feichi, "Master, the doll wall at home seems to be missing a distinctive doll~"
Hint, crazy hint.
Chi Feichi: "..."
That wall was distinctive enough, so distinctive that Dr. Ali, the Young Detective Team, and his mother all suspected that he was extremely mentally abnormal.
Mitsuhiko explained sternly to Chi Feichi, Conan and Haibara Ai, the three uninformed people, "Afterwards, Ayumi's father was afraid of disaster, so he put the doll in a box for safekeeping. It is still placed at the back of the warehouse. Whenever In the dead of night..."
Conan: "..."
That's enough. The more you talk about it, the more terrifying it becomes.
Was this infected by Chi Feichi?
"It's not cursed," Ayumi said with tears in her eyes, "Bichi just wanted me to see it earlier, so he brought it to me. At that time, it was just the head that was bitten. It will just fall off, ugh..."
"Master..." Feichi tried his best to be cute.
"Ayumi, I'll switch with you."
Chi Feichi compromised under Feichi's eyes.
Why doesn't Feichi understand that Snake's cold eyes are really not suitable for acting coquettishly and cutely...
