Untitled Conan II

Ba, with a gloomy face, then suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes wide, "Wait! He called me to Tokyo..."

I lowered my eyes and said in a low voice, "I think it's not just Tezuka. Uncle Hiizo and the others probably hope to get you out of this. The Hattori family may also..."

"Why didn't I think of this earlier! Bastard!!" He cursed, turned around and rushed out quickly.

I clenched my hands tightly, and my nails dug deeply into my palms. I could only use this to cover up the boundless panic in my heart.

Double reasoning on a full moon night ([-])

"Xiao Ruo, wait!"

A voice suddenly emerged from the room called me back who had already walked to the door.After a moment of hesitation, I put down my backpack and walked back to the computer desk.

Sure enough, a video window automatically popped up on the computer screen, and Brother Yazhi's handsome face appeared in the computer window, looking at me with gentle and steady eyes, with the usual elegant and playful smile on the corner of his mouth, completely absent A little panic or heaviness.

In fact, I rarely see that expression on the faces of these older brothers.

Seeing this familiar and kind face, I calmed down for no reason, sat quietly at the computer desk and looked at him.

"Little Ruo, don't panic, you'll be fine." With the corners of his lips curved, he waggled his index finger with a cute smile.

"Brother Yazhi, what the hell is this..." I looked at him in confusion.

"Don't worry, the old man of the Tezuka family is smarter than a fox." He smiled safely.

"Tezuka, Hattori...are there others?" Frowning, I asked.

"Hmm~" He nodded while holding his chin, "This time, probably families with some historical background and status are involved. Tsk tsk... I didn't expect the action to be quite fast—"

"Brother Yazhi!" I glared at him dissatisfied, "Can't you speak clearly?"

"Oh, it's really not a big deal, what do you want me to say?" He spread his palms and shrugged, shaking his head with a look of disapproval on my face, "For those old men, a headache will last for a while, it's just a headache. It’s just a multiple-choice question. But I think, most of them have already been thought out early in the morning! So, my dear Xiaoruo, don’t worry about what you have and what you don’t have, take a good rest, and don’t take it lightly until the cold is completely cured Running around, be obedient~"

After a moment of silence, I lowered my head and said softly, "...I see."

"Xiao Ruo?" Brother Yazhi's doubtful voice came from the computer.

I rested my forehead on my arm, hung my head, and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Yazhi... I suddenly felt like a kid who knew nothing but was running around in his own right. I couldn't help you at all." , but will cause a lot of disasters for you to clean up..."

There were a few chuckles over there, "Xiao Ruo finally has self-knowledge?"

My body trembled, I raised my head, puffed up my cheeks angrily and stared at him, "Is there anyone like you as a brother? At a time like this, shouldn't you comfort your lost sister?!"

"Oh, oh, it's Yazhi brother's fault," he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and said with a smile, "Yazhi brother should say, we are willing to help our little sister clean up the troubles, right? Oh no, 'It's an honor to take care of our little princess', isn't it?"

"You—" My eyes widened angrily, I was so depressed that I couldn't speak, so I could only say angrily, "You will bully me!"

"Who made Xiao Ruo have the cutest expression when he was being bullied?" He rubbed his chin, even if he showed such a wretched expression, it was actually quite suave and coquettish.

Twitching the corner of my mouth, I squinted at him and muttered, "Brother Shaoang has already said that."

"So, this is recognized by everyone!" After clapping his hands, he said "that's it".

Seeing the topic being dragged farther and farther by someone's willful or unintentional, I had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, I get it, I will stay at home obediently for the next few days and not go anywhere. ?”

"Well, Xiao Ruo is the cutest indeed!" He nodded with a satisfied expression on his face, then put his hands on his side, and said with a smile, "Come on, let's reward Xiao Ruo with a hug~"

Rolling my eyes, I made a face at him, stretched out my hand to move the mouse, and was about to close the video window, when his last words came from the computer, but this time, it was no longer a joke.

"Xiao Ruo, remember, don't go anywhere these days. Be careful around you. Although we are always there, it's hard to guarantee that they won't do anything."

"……okay, I get it."

----split line----

When the office received an "untimely" invitation to Halloween, I was sitting by the side chatting with Xiaolan.

I didn't pay attention at first, until Xiaolan took the envelope and read the English name on the seal, I was completely stunned on the spot.

"Vermouth, vermouth? What is this?" Xiaolan looked confused.

"This is the English name of a kind of wine," I explained gruffly, but I felt that my gaze was a little straight and I didn't know where it fell. "In Japan, it translates to 'Belmode'..."

So, is she here?Belmode, or Sharon Vineyard?

Is it that everything is going to the final climax, is it almost, is it over?

I received the call from Yukiko’s mother on the second day after Uncle Mori received the invitation, and I heard her complaining about how boring it was to hide in the house alone. So he can only call me all the time to chat with me or something like balabala...

I glanced tangledly at the glasses kid sitting next to me who was studying the Halloween invitation in Kudo’s mailbox. Conan saw something.

Finally, the other party probably said that he was tired and that he was going to take a beauty sleep and hung up the phone. I just wiped the cold sweat off my head and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter, this expression?" Conan looked at me suspiciously.

"Uh, nothing."

It's just that I was forced to discuss with your mother how to scare you.

I shook my head quickly, afraid that he would ask something more, so I changed the subject, "By the way, you also received the invitation card?"

"Yeah." He nodded, with a serious expression on his face, handed the envelope and the letter inside to me and said, "Look, the recipient's name on the envelope, and the letterhead."

Leng Leng, I subconsciously looked down, and then opened my eyes wide in surprise.

I saw the words "Kudo Shinichi" neatly written on the thin envelope, but on the first line of the letter paper, it clearly wrote "Dear Edogawa Conan"! !

Turning the envelope over, I saw the word "Vermouth" as expected, and fell silent.

"Haihara is very sure, this is someone from the organization." Conan seemed not to notice my abnormal silence, and bowed his head, "But, as the doctor suspected, since it has been confirmed that I am Kudo Shinichi, why the organization Hasn’t anyone come here to silence them? Do they have other goals?”

If it is her, the reason is actually very simple.

"Xinyi," I called him, and seeing him look up at me, I tilted my head and looked back at him with my chin in my hand, "Do you know who Belmore is?"

He paused for a moment, then stared straight at me, and said in a firm tone, "Chris Vineyard."

"Huh?" I raised my eyebrows, I was a little surprised, "When did you figure it out?"

Hearing this, he glanced at me, "Since the last memorial service. You knew about it early in the morning?"

Blinking, I nodded, "Well. Sharon Vineyard, do you still have any memory?"

He froze for a moment and frowned, "I saw it once, when I was in Manhattan a year ago..."

"Yeah." Before he finished speaking, I nodded, "It's her."

He looked up at me abruptly, with an inexplicable look on his face.

"...what's the matter?" I was a little embarrassed by him, and I asked back in embarrassment.

"Your reaction is very interesting..." He rubbed his chin with a faint smile on his face, "How do you know that she was the one I saw in Manhattan? Maybe she went to another place later? Or explain……"

Coughing dryly, I shifted my gaze, "Sharon can be said to be my father's apprentice, so I've met her a few times..."

"Hmm..." He glanced at me, but didn't dwell on what happened a year ago, "I know Sharon is Chris' mother, so why did you mention her specifically?"

"I just want to say," Xinxia sighed slightly, and I whispered, "Sharon is Chris, which is Vermouth."

He opened his eyes wide in an instant, showing an expression of disbelief, "How could it be...but she looks—"

After speaking, his eyes fell on my face, and he suddenly fell silent.

I know he thinks of me. Although I can't see it now, ten years, 20 years, 30 years later, I'm afraid I will become like that...

Both of them were silent for a while, and finally I was the one who broke the silence first, and changed the subject, "By the way, Shinichi, your nasal voice is a bit heavy, do you have a cold?"

As I said that, I grabbed his left hand and felt for his pulse carefully.

"Oh, maybe, my throat is a little itchy." He coughed lowly,
