Detective Conan empathy

"Yoshitsune and Benkei met at Gojo Bridge, the light-weight Yoshitsune easily defeated the mighty Benkei..."

At the beginning of the new semester, Class B of the third grade of Didan Senior High School was taking a history class. Mao Lilan, who had done her homework beforehand, took advantage of the teacher's attention on the textbook and secretly turned her head to look at the high school student detective not far away, subconsciously He frowned, with a worried look on his face.

Shinichi, he... is not quite right, no, it is very wrong - he who has always listened carefully to the class is obviously in a daze, and he is still in the history class that he likes very much.

Thinking about it carefully, this guy hasn’t attended class well these days, and when he was called up by the teacher to answer questions, he reacted for a few seconds before recovering slowly. Just sitting in his own position in a daze, as if isolating himself from other people.

What made her feel even more strange was that Shinichi, a guy who would talk endlessly whenever he mentioned the reasoning game Sherlock Holmes... It had been several days since he had heard similar words from his mouth.

Seems like... something has been wrong with Shinichi since they came back from Kabukicho a few days ago.

Mao Lilan still remembered that they were going to have a good time at the end of the summer vacation that night, so she accepted Yuanzi's proposal, took Xinyi and a few children who happened to meet, and the group went to singing and dancing Kicho, I want to see the legendary first doctor's demeanor.

But a sudden explosion disrupted their plans. Fortunately, the explosion took place on the top floor and did not affect them. However, Shinichi ran there as if he was worried about something.After the fire truck arrived and put out the fire, she saw the high school student detective who couldn't care less about the case again.

To be honest, she was taken aback when she first saw Shinichi—the body was covered in blood, and she sat on the ground with a pale face, as if she had been hit by a huge blow.The children of the Detective Boys yelled several times before he came back to his senses. He pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, but no matter how he looked at it, Mao Lilan felt that this guy was crying.

However, Shinichi kept silent about what happened in the explosion. Even if she took the initiative to ask this guy, she would change the topic. After a few times, Mao Lilan understood that what happened that night was absolutely unwilling to recall it again. up thing.

In the end... what kind of thing is it?

To be able to make such a guy show that kind of expression—the face is obviously smiling, but the eyes are like a deep seabed where even light cannot reach, dead silent.

"Why are you crying?" Kudo Shin turned his head to one side, the shadow of a girl reflected in his blue eyes.

At that time, the two of them were walking home from school, the sun's heat had subsided a bit, and there was a cool breeze blowing from time to time, which was very comfortable.

"Eh? Did I cry?" Mao Lilan reached out and touched her face in a daze, her fingertips touched the wet feeling, she stared at the water on her fingers and stared in a daze——

why is she crying

Just recalling the look on Xinyi's face that night, and... crying?

"You can still cry while walking, are you a girl who hurts her youth?" The young detective twitched at the corner of his mouth, mocking his own green plum.

"..." Mao Lilan pursed her lips.

If she was in normal times, she would have gone back to the past straight away. After all, she has been proficient in her business since she was a child.

but……

Shinichi's eyes did not smile.

Even the warm orange light of the setting sun did not warm his eyes.

Mao Lilan thought of the deep sea that he had seen in the documentary, where the light could not reach.

——What happened that night?

"I heard that uncle and aunt are back?" The friend who had been silent for a day finally took the initiative to speak. Naturally, Mao Lilan was unwilling to let this guy remain silent again. After thinking for a long time, he finally found a topic.

The young detective who was walking forward trembled without warning.

He moved his lips, and after a while, he answered the girl's question calmly: "Ah, that's right, I just came back a few days ago."

Of course he knew why his two parents, who wished to grow up abroad all year round, came back to China for this time, but he would rather not know.

On the 5th of this month...

The day he got engaged to that guy...

But now it's the 8th, and he's back to school...but what about that guy?

Kudo Shinichi stared blankly at the setting sun that had been cut in half by the high-rise building, and felt that a big piece was missing in his heart, and the wind was blowing into it.

That guy...why is he missing?

In fact, he doesn't object to engagement at all. Those little emotions before were just shy. Even if he said to that guy, "Go talk to my parents about the engagement, hurry up", but he was both shy and secretly in his heart. expected.

he really...

Kudo Shinichi didn't know how he got home, when he came to his senses, he had already sat on the bed in his bedroom.

He stretched out his hand, staring at the lines on his palm in a daze——

These hands seemed to be able to feel the temperature of that person's blood dripping down that night.

When Gin's hand fell down, Kudo Shinichi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately grabbed the man's hand, helping the man who had lost his strength to stick it to his face - but the man didn't do anything reaction.

He must have fallen asleep.Kudo Shinichi thought.Such a lazy person must have exhausted him these days.

He didn't know when the vodka came, but the man in sunglasses fell to the ground the first second he saw his elder brother.Kudo Shinichi was awakened by such a big movement of this man, he looked up, the vodka cap was off, revealing a small crew cut without any features, he tried to stand up from the ground several times but failed, the young detective knew clearly I saw his legs go limp several times.In the end, Vodka stumbled towards the two of them, with a trembling voice: "Big, big brother... big brother..."

"Hush——" Kudo Shin lowered his voice, "Don't wake him up, Ah Zhen fell asleep..."

It must be winter, Kudo Shinichi thought, otherwise why would he feel so cold?

The next memory was a little fuzzy, he only remembered that Vodka was going to take Ah Zhen away, but how could he separate from Ah Zhen?Nature is unwilling in every possible way.However, even if he tried his best to stop it, he couldn't resist the strength of vodka, and he didn't want to wake up the sleeping Ah Zhen...

Later, he seemed to hear the sound of sirens, and a few more people came, vaguely, someone pulled him from behind, and broke his hand holding Ah Zhen, and then he could only watch his Ah Zhen leave him. Farther and farther away, and finally completely invisible...

He never saw Ah Zhen again.

Kudo Shinichi's eyes fell on his bedside table, where there was a transparent glass cover, inside which was a silver model of an exquisite mecha.The things that anime geeks like don't match his bedroom style at first glance.

"As long as this thing is still in your hands, I will abide by the agreement and hide information about you and that girl from the organization."

The man's dark green eyes were fixed on the silver mecha model, which was only a few tens of centimeters high, and his movements were very cautious, for fear that a single negligence would bump it.He is obviously a cruel and cold-blooded killer, but he attaches so much importance to such a little gadget... The conflict of painting styles is not usually serious.

Kudo Shinichi recalled the scene of his "deal" with the man, and raised the corners of his mouth vigorously, trying to force back the tears in his eyes in this way, but he tried for a while, and finally covered his face with his hands.

A moment later, from behind the boy's tightly blocked hands, came a suppressed cry like a small animal.

He couldn't lie to himself.

Ah Zhen stopped breathing in his arms.

At that time, he was the closest to Ah Zhen, so he knew better than anyone else, and he was more deeply aware than anyone else that his Ah Zhen had left him.

Never again, can't come back.

Kudo Yukiko stood outside the door of her son's bedroom, through the door she could faintly hear suppressed cries coming from inside, she frowned in distress and worry, with a bitter expression on her face.

She couldn't stop it.My beloved son has to go through hardships and finally grow up, but the price for Xiaoxin's growth this time...it hurts too much.

The next morning, Kudo Shinichi walked in the direction of Teidan High School as usual.But compared with the previous few days, his journey has changed slightly—he turned into an alley on the way.

Because Gin's order was to follow and monitor in name, and in essence to protect the boy, Rena Mizumu thought for a moment, then followed.

She saw a white cloak.

The boy wearing a top hat of the same color as the cloak has almost the same face as Kudo Shinichi, and Rena Mizumu recognized this person—Kaitou Kid.

Just when she was about to get closer and hear the conversation between the two clearly, the communicator on her body suddenly vibrated. The CIA female agent was surprised——

This communicator is a channel to communicate with Gin, but that person obviously...how could it be at this time...that it rang again?

Rena Mizumura hesitated for a moment, then quietly exited the alley.

"Why did the great detective find me on his own initiative? Do you want to change careers and become a phantom thief?" Even in the daytime, the young phantom thief, who was still dressed as Kidd's standard outfit, looked at this difficult opponent with a half-smile. The act of contacting him was a bit surprising.

"Some news, you will be better informed?" Kudo Shinichi ignored Kaitou Kidd's joke, and directly stated his purpose: "I want to ask you to inquire about a person."

"Interesting and interesting. I'm really flattered that a righteous detective didn't seek help from the police but instead came to me as a thief..." Kaitou Kidd was aroused by the young detective's request: "Who do you want to find?"

"Rum," Kudo Shin said, the dim light in the alley made Kaito Kidd a bit confused about the man's expression, "You should have heard of this code name, right?"

"It's a bit troublesome... Didn't he disappear in the explosion in Suzuki Pavilion a few days ago?" He didn't ask the young detective if he knew what the code name represented, and everyone would have some secrets that he didn't want to share with others.The young Phantom Thief just frowned at the commission from this high school student detective who seemed like an enemy but also a friend: "I may need some time."

"It's okay," Kudo Shin nodded, "as long as you can know his whereabouts."

He would like to ask Mumu Police Department and the others, because he has a better relationship with them, but unfortunately, the news about the black organization is not within the scope of ordinary Japanese police, but he has a certain understanding of the organization from the FBI. I asked Teacher Judy to help me to pay attention, but I got the reply of "I will do my best to help you, but I may not be able to get the news you want".

After much deliberation, he thought of Kaitou Kidd.

In the end, only he and Ah Zhen came out of the Suzuki Pavilion. The police did not find a third person in the fire scene, so... the target Ah Zhen had been trying to catch—he was not sure whether Rum was alive or dead.

Well, let him confirm it in his own way.

After Kaitou Kidd left, Kudo Shinichi walked out of the alley. The morning sun shone on his profile, casting a light shadow on the other half of the young detective's profile.

However, the next second, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

A black Porsche was parked at the corner next to the alley, and the jet-black streamlined body was quietly reflecting the sunlight.This wasn't what surprised him the most. What really caught his attention was the man standing leaning against the car, wearing a hospital uniform and a familiar black windbreaker.

The man had platinum-blonde long hair like solidified moonlight, and without the cover of the black top hat, he was completely bathed in the sun.

He still has Kudo Shinichi's familiar dark green eyes, familiar lips that slightly curl up when facing him, and familiar tough outline.

Kudo Shinichi stared at him blankly, even breathing very lightly, for fear that this was a dream that could easily be disturbed.

——If it was a dream, let him wake up later.

The man who thought it appeared in his dream tilted his head slightly, and showed him a familiar but gentle smile: "Why are you standing there?" He stretched out his arms, "Okay!" Yi climbed up from hell...won't you give me a long-lost hug, Detective Shinichi?"

The author has something to say:

Shinichi: Ah Zhen!

Gin: Very good, the bento is finally spit out.Spicy chicken author, is this fun?

Someone: Ah, well, Xiaosheng just wants to perform a realistic version of life and death...

Gin:  …

Shinichi: ...

Someone, pawn.
