The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 58 childhood sweethearts
"I still remember it until now." Shirley smiled slyly: "...At the beginning, I recognized you at a glance, but you didn't recognize me."

"You can't blame me, that, that's because..." He Nan hesitated: "Uh, how should I put it...Because I haven't seen you for almost ten years, and you were adopted to the other side of the earth. I never thought I would see you again. And..."

"and?"

"...And the eighteenth female college has changed." He Nan said shyly.

"Heh... Do you mean that I was not good-looking when I was young, or that I was disabled?"

"Not at all!" He Nan quickly clarified: "You have always been cute, okay?"

"You say that to every girl, right?"

"It's not that I don't have it! Do you think I'm someone who knows how to be promiscuous outside?" He Nan raised his hand and swore, "If I look at other women more, I will immediately be hit by thunder!"

"I think it's better to forget it." Shirley said lightly and leisurely: "I'll sit next to you, don't trouble me when the time comes."

"...Uh, is that why you can't trust me?"

"I can't believe it." Shirley deliberately brought up the matter again: "For example, when you look at Penny Parker's photos, you are so fascinated..."

"..." He Nan let out a long sigh.

But since he mentioned Penny Parker, he took the opportunity to talk about the nostalgic childhood.

"Xue Li, do you remember when we went to play by the river when we were young?" He Nan flipped through the picture scrolls of childhood in his mind with relish: "I couldn't swim at that time, so I fell into the river. "

"Well, remember." Shirley chuckled softly: "Then I went to pull you, and I fell into the river and was washed away. At that time, I almost thought I was going to die."

"We little orphans who are despised by others, whether we die or not is not the key. No one cares if we die, okay? We can reincarnate early to start the next game." When He Nan thought of this, he felt helpless: "The key is that you At that juncture, you still have to be joking... Threatening me that we will go into the sewer if we are washed down like this, and then there will be crocodiles in the sewers of New York, who will eat us up..."

"You're about to die, why don't you let me say something interesting to cheer you up?" Miyano Shiho's voice was full of boredom: "The more nervous you are when you're drowning, the easier it is to die...I said this to hope you can relax."

"Your smile has been weird since you were a child, okay?!" He Nan couldn't help complaining: "What is this? I can't laugh at all! It will only make me more nervous!"

"You still have the nerve to talk about me." Shirley glanced at him while overtaking: "Did you forget to say something back to me?"

"I really forgot." No matter how hard He Nan thought about it, he couldn't think of it: "Anyway, it can't be something outrageous."

"Come on you." Shirley sneered softly: "You told me, 'Shirley! What if we are eaten by different crocodiles?'"

"???" He Nan was confused: "Huh?"

"Hahaha, that's what you said."

"You made it up!" Ho Nan suddenly felt ashamed: "This is all messed up, I don't know what it means..."

"Oh~ that's right." The corner of Xue Li's mouth rose slightly: "Forget it, you were scared to death after all... It's understandable."

"Uh...um." He Nan turned his head out of the window in embarrassment, looked at the street scene outside, and calmed down his emotions.

That fall into the water, the last two people managed to save themselves from danger.

It relies on grabbing a big rock and climbing onto it—He Nan still remembers the feeling of the moment he successfully escaped.

Can't believe I'm still alive.

After that, he didn't dare to go into the water for a long time because of his psychological shadow.

…until Shirley forced him to teach him to swim and kicked him into the pool.

Thinking about it now, when I was learning to swim with Shirley in my arms, I didn't have any psychological burden at all, which is incredible.

And after meeting Shirley again, even a little physical contact would feel like an electric shock.

Hey……

The more He Nan thought about it, the more helpless he became.

In the end it was innocent when I was a child...

... Or have you been separated from your childhood sweetheart for too long, so that you can no longer get along with each other without any scruples?
Shirley's departure made him very sad.

Being adopted is a good thing, but it still makes him very sad to be separated from each other.

He always wondered if Shirley hadn't been adopted to Japan, would he have been with her by now.

...Or, if you always treat her like a sister, there is no possibility of becoming a couple?

...It's hard to say.

But if He Nan was allowed to choose by himself, he would definitely not choose the option of being separated from Shirley.

The words show that I am older than Shirley...

Thinking of this, He Nan couldn't help complaining from the bottom of his heart.

No way, she was too mature since she was a child.

Mental age is about the same as adults.

……

Who killed Shirley's adoptive parents?

He Nan closed his eyes and thought about it.

Every time I think of this, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart.

He had never met those two, but from Shirley's account, they treated her very well.

In He Nan's mind, Shirley's parents are just like his parents - at least they are placed at the level of father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Miyano Shiho was named after them.

... As for the name Shirley, it was given by the aunt in the orphanage.It was reactivated after returning to the US.

The death of the Miyano couple dealt Shirley a great blow, and directly affected her life direction.

Originally, she was going to be a lawyer.

If this tragedy hadn't happened, then He Nan was probably running his own firm now, or working as an assistant in another detective firm—in short, she definitely wouldn't cross into the dangerous detective industry.

I always feel that this is not an accident...

Whenever He Nan thinks about this case, he always feels something strange behind it.

Shirley thought so too.

Because looking at this process, it will happen that the timing is too coincidental.

Miyano Shiho came to the United States to study, and within half a day after getting off the plane, Miyano and his wife were killed.

Speaking of conspiracy theories, she was arranged to "escape" from Japan, and then her adoptive parents suffered.

After all, Shirley came to study in an American high school on the advice of her parents.She hadn't planned on it at all.

The Miyano couple suddenly proposed this suggestion—but she didn't object, because she still had a vague nostalgia for the place she lived in when she was a child and the expectation that she might meet He Nan.

Hey... just arrived in the United States, you received the news that your parents were killed, and then hurried back to Japan... Not only did you not find the truth of the case, but because of your adopted daughter status, you were also disgusted by those annoying relatives in terms of inheritance... ...He Nan felt uncomfortable when he thought of this: a bunch of beasts who can only speak sarcastic words.
