Conan: I won’t clean up my innocence after joining the organization

"I've finished eating, thank you." Ai Tanihara put away the lunch box in her hand and smiled at Matsuda Jinpei.

Matsuda Jinpei's mood improved a lot, "Then I will reluctantly forgive you."

"Thank you." Tanihara Ai smiled.

"Eh? Isn't this Officer Tanihara?"

A police officer who was about to pass by looked at Ai Tanihara and immediately stepped forward with excitement, "Officer Tanihara, do you still remember me? We met seven years ago when I was promoted to the explosive ordnance disposal class."

Her brain quickly began to search for photos from past memories, but there were some things from a long time ago that Ai Tanihara couldn't remember clearly.

"Yes, remember." Tanihara Ai smiled politely at the man.

It's like the neighbor's grandma used to gesture to her height before coming here.

"Oh, Xiao Wan, you have grown so tall. I thought you were so small when I held you in my arms. By the way, do you still remember?"

Then she nodded wildly to show that she remembered, but in fact her head was empty.

'I can't remember at all, who is this person? Xiaobai, do you have any impression? '

The system shook its head, [I have no impression at all, host]

As the saying goes, there is a system as long as there is a host, and Ai Tanihara has nothing to be disappointed about.

Originally just a polite reply, the police officer standing in front of Tanihara Ai became even more excited.

Immediately, he lowered his head.

"Thank you, Officer Tanihara, for saving me back then. If you hadn't reminded us about the bomb, I probably wouldn't be standing here today."

The bomb explosion that year destroyed the entire floor. Ai Tanihara's miraculous appearance not only saved Kenji Hagihara, but also saved many people.

Recalling the sea of ​​​​fire he saw at that time, his voice was choked for a moment.

"Thank you very much. I have always wanted to visit you before, but I never happened to meet you."

Ai Tanihara, who comes and goes without a trace, almost has to squat at the Metropolitan Police Department.

Ai Tanihara, who was a little uncomfortable being thanked, quickly waved her hand.

"No need to do this, I should do it."

The police officer raised his head at this time and said, "By the way, Officer Miyamoto from the Department of Transportation seems to be holding a social party today. Is Officer Tanihara available? It just so happens that we can get to know each other more. There were quite a few seniors who wanted to thank Officer Tanihara. "

"Me?" Tanihara Ai began to check the schedule arranged by the system in her consciousness, and it seemed that there was no free time.

And even if she had time, she would refuse.

Because of trouble.

Just when Ai Tanihara was thinking this, the police officer suddenly felt a chill, as if he was being stared at by a pair of eyes.

The person who was still thinking was pressed on the shoulder, and his head rested directly on Matsuda Jinpei's shoulder.

"She's not available."

Matsuda Jinpei spoke word by word.

The ever-teenager tried to hide his treasure.

"Tanihara is mine."

Always will be.

As if aware of Tanihara Ai's gaze, Matsuda Jinpei curled his lips and reluctantly murmured in the lowest voice he could.

"friend."

Her pounding heart slowed down a bit, and Ai Tanihara breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the answer is very clear, there is nothing to refute.

It is precisely because of this familiar positioning of himself that he can remain calm for a moment in front of the Matsuda formation.

Although the police officer wanted to say something else, he retreated after saying a few more words under Matsuda Jinpei's close gaze.

Matsuda Jinpei quickly retracted his hand and glanced at Tanihara Ai guiltily, only to find that Tanihara Ai didn't seem to care about his appearance.

Obviously many people think he has a bad temper, although maybe, maybe, he is just a little bit right.

But I don’t know if it’s his misunderstanding, but Ai Tanihara always tolerates herself.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Matsuda Jinpei's eyes.

Maybe it's because of her gentleness, the way she can be gentle to everyone.

It's like it will never belong to you.

After the police officers left, Ai Tanihara did not stay too long.

If you spend too much time on one link, the sleep time that could exist will be extremely compressed.

So she often takes a short break in the middle of a task or buys food to eat while walking.

Just as she was about to leave, Tanihara Ai suddenly remembered something. Under the pretense of rummaging through her bag, she took out a small gadget she had seen in an antique shop from the space.

It looked very exquisite, and Tanihara Ai was sure at the first sight that this should be able to dismantle the Matsuda formation for a while.

"Thank you Matsuda-kun for the meal today. I bought this a few days ago. I wonder if Matsuda-kun is interested?"

Tanihara Ai handed over this gadget.

One is a prototype of Luban lock made of pieces of wood.

Matsuda Jinpei was stunned for a moment, lost consciousness for a moment, and then turned his head as if he reacted immediately.

Those eyes couldn't help but fall on that thing. He obviously cared about what the other party gave him but he still spoke.

"Idiot Tanihara, who would like this kind of thing? How childish."

Saying this, Matsuda Jinpei took the thing in Tanihara Ai's hand.

Holding the gift from Tanihara Ai in his hand, Matsuda Jinpei looked at the person who was about to leave and called to stop again.

"Matsuda-kun?" Tanihara Ai looked back.

Matsuda Jinpei met those eyes.

"Gu Yuan, I have someone I like. I don't want to listen to other people's words, but I hope you can know."

"Anyway, I don't want to hear you say anything about who I'm with again, otherwise..."

Matsuda Jinpei snorted, "Otherwise I will be angry."

The person standing in front of the door that was about to leave was startled, then smiled and nodded.

"I remember."

After she finished speaking, she also left.

Shortly after Ai Tanihara left, the figure not far away from Matsuda Jinpei's seat also left.

Hagiwara Kenji walked to the smoking area, took out a cigarette and lit it.

He took out his cell phone, and the smile of the person on the screen saver seemed to bring him back to the first time he saw Ai Tanihara.

On an almost pure white night decorated with snow, the innocent girl with disheveled black hair appeared in his eyes.

The first few seconds of counting made his heart beat rapidly for a few seconds.

After that, he saw Xiao Tongran standing next to the girl.

I thought I could hide this feeling until the end.

Shaking off the ash, Hagihara Kenji blew out a smoke ring.

Wait until the cigarette is finished.

He put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

He understood that his state of mind had changed too much in the years since Tanihara Ai disappeared.

Taking a step forward, he left the place where he had just stood.
