[Conan/Through Her] Fairy's Indus

"You really found me like this...it's amazing, Little Red Riding Hood."

——As the man sitting opposite me said these words with an inexplicable smile, my good mood that had been raised because I successfully peeled off his cat skin immediately dropped.

I rubbed my arms solemnly, trying to smooth away the goosebumps aroused by his smile.

"What do you mean by this, do you mean that you already knew that I would come to reveal your true identity?"

Akai Shuichi curled his lips and sipped the black tea calmly: "No, although I did have a suspicion in this regard, it is too unbelievable, so before you really do it, I will do this to you. The predicted probability is only about...3%."

"..." My heart was heavy, "Can you say something I can understand?"

"Okay." He chuckled and put down the tea cup in his hand, and threw a bomb at me lightly, "Ruri Amuro, I'm curious, who were you before you became Ruri Amuro? In what way did you observe In our future?... Or should I say, the future of this world?”

--What?

My mind was empty and my breathing was stagnant, and I almost threw the hot tea in my hand on his face.

From the hidden in-ear Bluetooth headset I was wearing, Toru Amuro's quiet voice came clearly: "Don't panic."

I took a deep breath, narrowed my eyes to meet Shuichi Akai's gaze on me, and curled his lips mockingly: "Mr. Akai, you are over 30 years old, why do you still believe in these weird things?"

Akai Shuichi shrugged: "Before you deny it, how about you listen to my reasoning?"

I gritted my teeth: "Okay, you say."

"First of all, the day we met at Bourbon's house 5 years ago, I was curious about your life experience, and you gave me a hint-your blue eyes. I investigated the hint you gave me during my undercover period. Some information about the 'Elven Sycamore' experiment was found, including the fact that 7 years ago, Bourbon had taken over the task of getting rid of the researchers related to this experiment in the organization, and also found out the establishment of the organization. The purpose of the experiment is to study the replacement of human souls."

I couldn't help but let out a "ugh" sound.

Big Silver Bullet ignored me: "It was also the day five years ago when you unexpectedly asked me to conceal your identity as a relative of an organization member from the Miyano sisters. However, my observation found that the person you wanted to conceal your identity was, It was never the people in the organization, nor the FBI who were watching them - because after Mingmei left the organization and was protected by our FBI, cutting off contact with her sister, you allowed me to tell her your identity - -So I surmise that the person you wanted to hide all this time is actually just Miyano Shiho - but why that child? Is there anything special about her? "

Those sharp green eyes were astonishingly bright: "Maybe it didn't happen in the past, but it does now. Now, for some reason, she has become a child and lives in Dr. Ali's house next door, and I'm sure you also It is clear that the real identity of the little girl in the doctor's family is her - so I can guess this, because you know in the past that she will become smaller in the future and join Rice Flower Town, join the circle of your superficial identity life, and she will know you Your friends around you, so you need to hide your identity from her from the past."

The man who came with me raised his hand and patted my back that was soaked with cold sweat in a comforting way.

"Of course, I have no evidence." Akai Shuichi suddenly smiled, and all the intimidating aura around him was taken back by him in an instant, "Although it is not only this incident, but also the platform accident we had at the tram station four years ago. Meeting my little sister, and you seem to have known her identity for a long time; also including the fact that you saved my fingerprints a year ago, as if you already knew at that time that I would fake my death in the future; and Including the fact that you reminded me to save Mingmei a few months ago, as I already knew that if no one rescued her, she would definitely be wiped out by the organization... Although these things seem to reflect your prophetic ability, I have no direct evidence to prove this, so all this until just now is just my speculation, and you can deny it all."

I immediately caught the key: "Until just now?"

And Akai Shuichi was finally willing to take his existential gaze away from me and cast it on the "distant cousin" I brought.

"If it weren't for your ability, I can't imagine why a high school kid who was raised by ordinary members of the organization would be with a Japanese police officer who was once an undercover agent in the organization. Appear in front of me.”

...?As a minor who is very average in various fields, I'm really sorry.

"Since you have guessed to this extent, there is no need for us to hide this... Yes, your guess is not wrong. If it were not for the existence of this child, I would have been exposed in the organization four years ago. Already dead." Jing Guang smiled gently, and while completely pulling off my vest that was riddled with holes, he extended his friendly right hand to Akai, "Long time no see, Rai, your insight and reasoning ability It is indeed well-deserved. Let’s get to know each other again, Japanese police officer, Zhu Fu Jingguang.”

Akai Shuichi's eyes moved and he shook hands with him briefly: "FBI, Akai Shuichi."

"You are here to seek cooperation in order to overthrow the organization, right?" Akai Shuichi took a sip of tea gracefully, "I'm curious about one thing. Since you, Amuro Ruri, belong to the red side, then Bobo..."

"Yes, Bourbon is the person I like." I answered deeply, "Although he is a bad guy, he is not bad to the end. He still has the value of instigating rebellion and saving people. All my efforts are in the hope that he can Cleanse him of his sins and let him get a better ending after the organization is destined to be destroyed... I will influence him with love! And so will Belmod!"

Akai Shuichi raised his eyebrows and said "huh~", sighing with unknown meaning: "This is really a touching speech."

...No, I would give up my face for Toru Amuro's vest.

Jing Guang was very good at taking the role. He said helplessly: "This is also the reason why she has always insisted on following Bourbon. And I am ashamed to say that after I was exposed, she was the only one left in our Japanese organization. She is in a very precious position, so even though she is still a child, we do not insist on her withdrawing from this battlefield."

Akai Shuichi sneered: "I see... disregarding the personal interests of the people for the sake of the country and the overall situation is indeed the style of your Japanese police. I understand."

He narrowed his eyes and smiled evilly: "But how can you be sure that this kid who likes Bourbon so much won't be incited by Bourbon to rebel against you?"

"Hey, you are sowing discord, Grandma Wolf!" I stood up with my hands on my hips and glared at him, "I do not have the same sense of justice as you do, and I still miss a few criminals, but I can't stand on that side either. ...because the collapse of the organization is inevitable in the future."

Akai Shuichi said calmly: "Really?"

"Ruri." Jingguang called me. I curled my lips and looked at him aggrievedly. He smiled reassuringly at me, then turned to Akai and said seriously, "This child is my savior and also my most important person." As a facilitator, I trust her.”

I don’t know what they discussed about the details of cooperation after that.

Because I was invited to drink milk by Shinichi’s mother, Kudo Yukiko-san.

"I still remember, Xiao Ruri, you like drinking chocolate milk, right?" She said softly and helped me make a cup of hot chocolate milk. "It's only been a few years since I last saw you. The month seems to have passed a long time ago... You children always grow up so fast when adults don't pay attention."

I took the cup of hot milk filled with her kindness with some uneasiness, wondering if she had heard our conversation just now and how much she knew about our situation.

The warm and sweet milk tastes great to me as always.

After thinking about it, I decided to go straight to the point and ask: "Sister Yukiko, did you hear the conversation between Mr. Akai and I just now?"

The beautiful sister with the appearance of a national idol blinked, covered her mouth and laughed: "Oh, it seems that Ruri-chan is still the Ruri-chan I am familiar with~ She likes to be straightforward as before."

Judging from this reaction, she probably knew everything.

I was a little frustrated: "I'm sorry, I have always concealed the real me from Shinichi and you... My existence itself will attract the gaze from the darkness. I know this, but I still selfishly choose to stay with them. By my side...Although the matter is settled and there is no point in apologizing now, you can be angry..."

"Well, I won't do this." She softened her voice, "You, although you have hidden a lot of things from Xiaoxin and the others, you are also protecting them secretly, right? You are Xiaoxin's recognized friend. , and I believe in my son’s vision, so I will also approve of you, little Ruri.”

I was startled and looked up at her.

Her aqua blue eyes were clear and bright, without any shadow. She looked at me at this moment, filled with tenderness and love, which was rarely shown in front of Shinichi. As a "mother of children", she was gentle but sufficient. A steady look.

"You grew up with Xiaoxin and Xiaolan, and you blocked the darkness behind yourself, and even Yuzu and I couldn't notice it." She touched my head, "Keeping the dark secret alone, without your parents. It must be quite lonely to grow up... It’s been a big thank you to you all this time, thank you for protecting them.”

In fact, I never felt lonely or hard.

But the way she looked at me so tenderly still made my eyes feel a little hot.

The tenderness from "mother", which was different from Toru Amuro, gave me some strange and sour emotion in my heart that I felt I missed very much.

I no longer have the energy to judge what kind of feelings are arising from the bottom of my heart at this moment, because I am trying my best to suppress the inexplicable urge to cry brought by that feeling.

Maybe in the memory of my lost past life, I also had a mother who loved me as much as Yukiko loved Shinichi.

Yukiko's soft fingertips lightly touched the corners of my eyes: "If you want to cry, just cry, right?"

"Is that okay?" I asked hesitantly.

She chuckled and hugged me: "Of course."
