"Click."
The door to the living room was opened, and Vodka came in carrying a bag of fried food.
"That's because the dishes I cook are salty and I never add too many condiments." Chi Fei didn't get up, still leaning on the sofa and staring at the ceiling, "right, vodka?"
"Ah..." Vodka was stunned for a moment, thinking that what Chi Feichi said was right, he nodded and said, "Yes."
"snort……"
Gin snorted softly, but said no more.
He didn't even bother to mention vodka.
Do you know what they are talking about, just 'yeah, yeah, that's right'...
"Eh? Is Big Brother cooking today?" Vodka wasn't sure what Gin meant. He carried the fried food to the cooking table and actively took the plates to distribute the food. "Brother, didn't you say last time that you were talking about the streets nearby? Do the octopus balls in that store taste good? When I passed by that store today, I bought them for you..."
Gin: "..."
Seeing as Vodka is so thoughtful, just be stupid.
"By the way, Luck," Vodka turned to share with Chi Feichi, "Last time you said that the fried chicken steak at the store on the street has a very special taste. This time I bought a new flavor marinated in a special sauce, 伱Let’s try it later!”
Chi Feichi Xianyu was paralyzed and couldn't bear not to respond, "Thank you."
He said that the Gin team cannot do without vodka, otherwise Gin's daily work would become boring. No one should object to this, right?
"And Fei Chi..." Vodka was a little surprised when he saw Fei Chi with a bulging belly on the table, "Huh? Fei Chi has already eaten. I also brought you fresh raw fish pieces."
Fei Chi's stomach was so bloated that he couldn't move, so he just moved his head that was pressed against the table, vomited the snake letter, "Master, can you tell the vodka..."
"Feichi asked me to thank you," Chi Feichi relayed Feichi's words, "but it has already eaten a white mouse, and it doesn't need to eat anymore in the past few days. The fish pieces can only be disposed of by you."
"Then throw it out to feed the crows. There are two more crows standing on the wall outside. It should be just enough for them to eat..."
Vodka turned the raw fish pieces out and put them in a disposable paper cup. When he was about to send them out the door, he caught a glimpse of a row of white mouse corpses on the coffee table, "Huh?"
Five white mice were placed on the paper towels, arranged neatly, even their long tails were pointed straight in the direction of the TV, which looked a bit weird.
"You can't eat this, it's poisonous." Chi Feichi sat up and reached out to collect the rat's body, "Forget it, I'll get rid of it."
Gin couldn't help but taunt the two of them, "If you hadn't been targeting them, Lark wouldn't have been willing to take away the corpses of those little white mice..."
Vodka: "..."
The eldest brother said this strangely, as if he wanted to steal the guinea pig from Lark.
Chi Feichi was too lazy to talk to Gin Jiu, so he went into the laboratory to dispose of the mouse body, and went out to wait for dinner.
He felt that he was cooking very quickly, and the gin was not slow at all. He looked quite skilled, but it was hard to tell which national cuisine it belonged to for lunch.
There is miso soup, which is very famous in Japanese home cooking, there is vodka bought from the street, Japanese fried chicken nuggets, fried fish nuggets...
There are Western-style pan-fried steaks and standard British mashed potatoes...
There is also what he made before, Chinese stir-fried mixed vegetables...
Apart from the dispute over what to eat first, the lunch went smoothly for the three of them.
Although the dishes were put together rather strangely, Chi Feichi felt that he couldn't be picky about the taste of the food. Even if there wasn't any special experience that would surprise his taste buds, at least every dish tasted good.
After the meal, Chi Feichi slumped in the living room for more than an hour. Gin and Vodka were communicating with each other and making phone calls, which did not affect Chi Feichi.
There was someone sitting next to him, so Gin was no longer in the mood to work. After reading the information at hand, he drank some vodka and took a rest, then turned on the TV and watched the show.
A safety video was playing on the TV, and the sky outside the curtains suddenly darkened.
"Eh? Is it going to rain?" Vodka stood up and went to the window, opened a corner of the curtain, and looked at the gloomy sky outside, "When I first came over, there were dark clouds gathering in the sky over there. I didn't find it so quickly. It’s going to rain.”
"If you are not in a hurry to go back, I can drive you later." Gin glanced out the window and took the remote control to change the channel. "When do you plan to leave?"
"Anyway, there has been no action recently. I have nothing to do if I go back early alone, so I can go back anytime." Vodka lowered the corner of the curtain and turned back to the sofa, "Lark, what about you?"
Chi Feichi looked at the time displayed in the lower corner of the TV and said, "I just need to go back before eight o'clock in the evening. These days, my sister has to watch me take medicine every morning and evening."
"Take medicine?" Vodka was a little confused.
"He was sitting in a daze for more than an hour just now. He looked a little depressed. Haven't you noticed?" Gin kept changing channels with the remote control. "He has a recurring condition and needs to take medicine to control it recently."
"I almost forgot, Lark's mental state is not stable..." Vodka said, curiously asking, "Lark, how is your situation now? Do you feel any different from before recently?"
"I'm feeling much better today, but I can't really cheer up." Chi Feichi continued to slump against the sofa.
Outside the window, heavy rain poured down.
The sound insulation effect in the living room is good, but the force of the raindrops hitting the glass and hitting the windowsill is really strong. In the gaps between the sounds of TV programs, human ears can vaguely pick up the slight, dull, and dense sound of rain like drums.
Vodka couldn't help but sigh, "The rainy season is here." Then the heavy rain outside the window started and stopped, and soon turned into light rain that fell for half an hour from time to time.
The three of them sat in the living room and watched the news. After watching two episodes of the recently popular detective TV series, they took advantage of a break in the rain to go home.
Chi Feichi stopped using Gin's car and took off his disguise nearby. He went to the street to hail a taxi and took a taxi directly to the Seven Detective Agency.
After three consecutive heavy rains and light rains, the gloomy sky became a lot brighter.
The scheduled activity class for the senior students at Didan Primary School was cancelled. The senior students changed their shoes, took out their umbrellas from their backpacks, and left the school early like the lower students. They greeted the class teacher at the gate and got together. Walk towards the street corner.
In the crowd, Yuantai slowed down as he walked and turned to look at the students around him, "It's so lively today!"
"Yes," Mitsuhiko's eyes lingered on the two senior students walking by, and he was also excited by the liveliness of this moment, "Because our first grade has one less activity class than other grades, so every holiday They leave school earlier than other grades, and sixth grade students have one more class than other grades, so it will be more difficult for us to see them after school. It is rare to see such a lively time like today!"
Haibara Ai also looked at the elementary school students who were taller than herself. When she thought that she was the shortest among the elementary school students, she felt a little strange, "If we hadn't been together like this, I wouldn't have found that the upper grade students could So much higher than us.”
"Yes, some senior students are really tall and look very strong," Ayumi held her arm with Haihara Ai and looked around excitedly, "We are surrounded by seniors and sisters who are older than us. It feels good. It’s amazing!”
Conan wanted to try to understand the excitement of the children, but found that he could only recall the time ten years ago. He felt a sense of emotion in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a familiar figure on the street in front of him.
It had just rained on the road, and the area nearby was a school area. After the cars slowed down, there were many people blocking the intersection. In addition, it was rare for senior and junior students to leave school at the same time, making the surroundings very lively.
Behind the crowded crowd, he saw a familiar adult man standing in front of a car. His mind was stuck for a moment, and then he remembered that Kuroki Seiji had picked up Xiaoshu before. Kuroki Seiji's profile and body shape were also the same as before. The man in front of the car responded.
Just when he recognized Kuroki Yasuji, Kuroki Yasuji over there also lowered his head and said something to the people in the car, and quickly got into the car.
"Edogawa?" Haibara saw Conan suddenly stop and look forward. He stopped in confusion and looked over, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, but I seem to have seen Mr. Kuroki, Mr. Kuroki Jingji, who once won the world judo championship. Now he seems to be working as a housekeeper at Xiaoshu's house..."
Conan paid attention to the car over there and found that the car was also slowly following the traffic in front and driving towards the intersection, and he felt even more confused.
strangeness……
He thought it was Xiaoshu who had come back from abroad. He knew that Didan Elementary School was in class today, so he went to wait for them outside the school, but now it seemed that the car had already picked up the person he was waiting for.
Is there anyone from Kuroki Yasuji or the Xiaoshu family here to do something at Tedan Elementary School...
"Small tree?"
When the three children heard the name of an acquaintance, they immediately looked around.
"Is his housekeeper nearby?"
"Isn't he the one who came to find us?"
"It seems that Xiaoshu is not here to find us. The car has already left. Mr. Kuroki may have come here for other things." Conan retracted his gaze and walked forward with a smile, "I think I told you before. Xiaoshu’s parents have passed away. He and his brother now live in Mihua Town. Mr. Kuroki probably came here for something..."
Mitsuhiko looked at Conan with excitement in his eyes, "Conan, it's time for school to end at Tedan Elementary School! Don't you think it's a coincidence that Mr. Kuroki appears here?"
Conan was stunned, "This time is quite special, but..."
"Conan, your reaction is too slow!" Yuantai said excitedly, "Even I have thought that Mr. Kuroki might be here to pick someone up, right? Although Xiaoshu is not yet old enough to go to school, You also said that Xiaoshu has an older brother!"
"That is to say, Xiaoshu's brother is probably also at Didan Elementary School!" Mitsuhiko said happily and touched Genta with his elbow, "Yanta, your brain is working very well today!"
"Of course," Yuantai looked proud, "I thought of such a simple thing at once!"
Conan was trying to reason, "Although it is possible, there is not only Didan Elementary School nearby. There are also bookstores and dessert shops on the streets here. Just seeing him doesn't prove that he is here to pick someone up." of……"
"Will Xiaoshu's brother be our classmate?" Ayumi was excited, "Awesome!"
Mitsuhiko was equally excited, "Maybe he is in the same grade as us!"
Conan: "..."
