"Conan, don't be dazed, let's go."

"Well, sister Xiaolan." Conan came back to his senses, ready to follow Xiaolan's pace as usual.

"Wait a minute, you brat." Sonoko pulled Conan to his side and lowered his voice, "Little brat, do you understand, what kind of light bulb are you doing at this time?"

"Light bulb...?" Conan froze for a moment, looked at Shinichi and Xiaolan who were walking in front, and immediately understood Sonoko's meaning, "That's right, light bulb!"

"Brother Xinyi!" Conan quickly broke free from Sonoko's clutches, rushed forward, raised his head, and pulled the corner of "Xinyi"'s clothes, coupled with a sweet voice, let Conan himself and "Xinyi brother" At the same time, I turned my stomach. "I have a question to ask you, why don't you come here."

"Hey, you brat!!! Did you hear what I said?"

"Xinyi brother" Conan is determined not to let go---absolutely can't let this dangerous person get along with Xiaolan alone!

"It's okay, Shinichi, let's talk, I won't bother you."

"Huh? Oh,,,,,,, okay, what's the matter, brat."

"Hey, hey..." Sonoko walked up quickly, only to see 'Shinichi' and Conan had already stood aside, looking at Xiaolan in disbelief, "You're not mistaken, he came back after a long time. Seize the opportunity to connect more emotionally!"

"That's good..." Xiaolan smiled sadly.

"Ah? You're out of your mind." Sonoko thought for a second, showing a 'sexy' expression, "Isn't it because of Shinichi's initiative and shyness?"

"That's not it." Xiaolan blushed, and hastily denied, "I...I...it's nothing, I just think Xinyi is a little strange."

"Oh, it's because Shinichi has changed a bit now, and he knows how to please girls. Xiaolan, you are really... But, it's okay, since Shinichi is back, you have plenty of opportunities."

"He will leave again soon!" Xiaolan looked at the back of 'Xinyi' thoughtfully.

"Ah? Why?" Yuanzi hoped that she was being suspicious, because she felt that Xiaolan's tone was a little strange.

"Huh?......Oh, didn't he say that? There are still unfinished cases."

"There are so many cases, I really don't know what this guy is up to." The 'Love Messenger' immediately started beating drums to complain, "He didn't even attend class because of the case. Don't have time to meet with you? Didn't you ask him what's going on?"

"I asked, but he always seems to avoid the topic." The bleakness in his eyes flashed past, and he returned to normal again so quickly that people didn't notice it, "But it doesn't matter, I believe that one day , he will take the initiative to tell me."

However, neither Xiaolan nor Sonoko would have imagined that Conan and Shinichi, who they said had a good relationship, were having the following conversation at this time.

"I said, Kaito Kidd, you are really boring."

Kidd naturally knew what Conan was referring to, "Although the method is old, it is very effective, isn't it? A detective."

Although it was clear that there would be no answer, a series of questions were still asked, "Why did you steal the gems again after ten years? Also, why did you have to crack the notice letter by yourself? What do you think?"

Kidd smiled slightly, but did not answer Conan's question, "I should have warned you, there are some things, don't know too much. Unnecessary curiosity can sometimes become the source of disaster."

"What you said doesn't apply to me, because I'm a detective. The so-called detectives rely on their curiosity about the unknown world to uncover the truth of the incident." Conan paused, looking at the man bathed in the moonlight at night. The man next to him revealed the confidence that he was determined to win every word, "Including you, Kaitou Kidd, one day, I will reveal your true face in front of the world."

"I'm really looking forward to it, Mr. Detective Shinichi Kudo," Kidd shrugged and gave Conan a sideways glance. "But before that, you should first uncover the mystery of the teaser letter."

"Don't worry, we will decide the winner tomorrow."

"I think so too."

The words hidden in the cotton, the temptation between each other.It didn't make the atmosphere any more tense.On the contrary, everything seems so natural.It was as if these were two friends who had known each other for a long time, as if what was about to take place between the two was not a duel between detectives and thieves, but just a simple and easy intellectual contest.But if it's really that simple, why do these two people who absolutely trust their own strength engage in the so-called intelligence competition with the belief and determination to defeat each other?

Kind of contradictory, isn't it?The two glanced at each other in unison.There is a smile on the corner of the mouth

If I wasn't a detective (Kidd), maybe I'd be friends with this guy. …

"Oh, by the way, Lan!" Xinyi, who had recovered from his inexplicable thoughts, turned his head, "I still have some things to do, so let's go first, see you tomorrow."

"..." The overly intimate tone of 'Shinichi' made Conan immediately put aside the weird ideas of so-called friends----should really throw you into prison

"Well, see you tomorrow then."

'orchid? ! Conan looked at Xiaolan with some doubts, because under the moonlight, she was looking at the back of 'myself' leaving with a look of loneliness and more complicated emotions that people could not understand.

mad at me?Tired of endless waiting?But if that's the case, why didn't you ask to stay?

Conan stood there in a daze, his thoughtfulness and rationality belonging to a detective was dissipated into nothingness in a short moment.The heart was torn and hurt by the fragility hidden under that smile.

Why... you have to show that expression?orchid?

Just when Conan was in doubt, where no one noticed.In the darkness, a figure that has been hiding for a long time is following the figure that has gone away with cold and surprised eyes.

"Impossible, that man has already...why did he appear in...?"

================================================== ==============

"Conan, it's time for breakfast. Conan." It's a Saturday morning, although I don't have to go to school.However, for Mao Lilan, who has undertaken almost all the housework after her parents separated, it is almost impossible to sleep late in comfort.Just like this morning, she had to get up early to prepare breakfast for three people, but, a little strangely, Conan, who usually eats most actively, came late today.

"Conan, where have you been? Strange, are you still sleeping?" Pushing away from Conan's room, he found that the quilt was neatly folded and there was no one in the room.While wondering, a piece of paper caught Xiao Lan's attention, which read:

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm going to the library to review my homework today, so I won't have breakfast."

"Huh? Going out, studying so early? Strange, this kid has always been playful, when did he become so hardworking!"

"Ding dong!" The doorbell rang just at this time.

"Here we come!" Xiaolan hurriedly ran to open the door

"Oh, Lan, you got up so early!"

The moment the door opened, Xiaolan was startled by the familiar voice and face and didn't know how to react.

"Why are you looking at me like this, I don't know you!" With mischievous eyes, he almost rubbed his face against Xiaolan's nose.

"Xinyi! Why, you are here!" Xiaolan rubbed her eyes, extremely doubting if she was dreaming

"It's really indifferent!"'Xinyi' pouted quite dissatisfied, "For the sake of that Kaitou Kidd, I have temporarily put down the case in hand. In this case, before he appears, I will give myself a vacation. .”

"Have a holiday?!"

"We haven't seen each other for a long time," Xiao Lan's heart softened at the melancholy look in his eyes, but soon, someone who changed as suddenly as the weather in April surprised her again, "Lan! Are you interested in talking with me?" I'll go out and play together!"

"Eh? Really, Shinichi...but..."

"Please, I'm in such a busy situation." With his head held high, 'Xinyi' showed a 'big philanthropist' expression, "I specially took the time to date you."

"Dating!" Xiaolan couldn't believe what she heard.

"Why don't you want to?"'Xinyi' lowered his head, showing an expression of grievance like a wounded cub, and started an invincible tenderness offensive, "I think we have seen too little during this time , that's why I asked you to go out on a date...Xiaolan, what's wrong with you, are you angry with me...I know, I'm ignoring you a little... .but......"

Seeing that the usually majestic famous detective turned into a pitiful 'little pet', Xiaolan suddenly didn't know what to do. "No, no! I..."

"You promised, that's great! Oh yeah." The expression of 'Xinyi', who had succeeded in his tricks, suddenly became radiant, making people almost feel like he was doing magic. "We have to finish the game before Kidd shows up at night. All the places. Hurry up, go change your clothes, you must dress up beautifully!"

"Ah? Oh, wait a minute, Shinichi." His face flushed all of a sudden, and under Xinyi's 'expectant' eyes, he ran into his room like a gallop.

What Mao Lilan didn't notice was that the moment she turned around and ran into the room, 'Xinyi''s originally soft eyes instantly became sharp, and he secretly glanced at the figure behind him again

As expected, the figure that appeared last night has caught up again... Today, let me, Kaito Kidd, show you your true face!

Thinking nonstop in her mind, the shy girl stood before her eyes lightly at some point.

"Shinichi? Look...is this... okay?"

"Ah?" Mao Lilan's voice pulled her thoughts back, and when she looked up, she saw a shy girl, "Oh? Xiaolan, you are so cute in pink!"

"It's...cute?"

"Well, it suits you very well!" She praised very sincerely, but she was thinking of something else in her heart, 'Next time I will let Qingzi wear one, they look so similar, pink must suit her. '

"I said, are you really Shinichi?"

This shock was not small, even those who had experienced many battles could not help but break out in cold sweat, "Huh? What are you talking about......Of course I am Shinichi!"

Xiaolan lowered her head shyly, and kept pinching the corner of her clothes, "Then you are...what's the matter...yesterday was also...before, you didn't say anything, So cute....on a date..."

"Oh" secretly heaved a sigh of relief, "No, that, hehe, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I want to give you some surprises."

'I see, that detective boy didn't say these things, really, girls can't coax him, he really is an idiot with only reasoning in his mind. '

"That's it!" Xiaolan felt relieved, slightly moved, "Then, Mr. Detective, what surprises are you going to give me?"

"Don't worry, I have wonderful arrangements for the whole day!"

"That's really worth looking forward to!"

Looking at the happy girl beside him, although 'Xinyi' was smiling, his heart was somewhat desolate.

Even though his lover is by his side, he still misses him in pain day and night.He and Mingming seem to be very close, but there is always an unbreakable secret between them... Which one is the furthest distance in the world... The answer, no matter how clever A detective, or a wise thief, may never be able to answer.

================================================== ==

"Why did you go to the library to look up information on Greek mythology early in the morning?" Haibara Ai put down the "Cosmic Explosion Theory Collection" in her hand, and looked at Conan, who also had a pile of books in front of her and didn't know where to start, " Ready to give up being a detective and become a theologian?"

"How is it possible? I'm looking for clues to decipher Kidd's notice letter." Conan picked up a book called "Fables in Greek Mythology", opened the first page, browsed quickly, and started doing things from time to time. Record, "Kidd's teaser letter mentioned several characters in Greek mythology. I want to read relevant information. After all, I read these myths when I was a child, and I can't remember some of the plots clearly."

"Speaking of Kidd's notice letter, I always feel that the grammar doesn't make sense when I read it."

"The grammar is not clear? Did you mean the sentence 'kid's of the East'?" Conan raised his head from the book, "Indeed, 'kid's' should be changed to 'kid' to make the sentence understandable. If that is the case, this sentence The words can be understood as the meaning of Kidd in the East. But now, there is some confusion."

"Well, there's actually another grammatical error?"

"what?"

"You didn't notice? Oh?...." Huiyuan showed a mocking expression, "There are times when famous detectives are negligent!"

"Whispering!..." Conan blushed unexpectedly, but still asked anxiously, "Where is the second grammatical error you said?"

"That's the sentence, 'Open Pandora'." Looking at the other party's reaction with some amusement, Haibara paused for a while as if teasing, "Don't you know? In Greek mythology, what is opened is not Pandora, but the magic box in Pandora's hand."

"Ah? I actually forgot. But why Kidd?...Could it be?" As if realizing something, Conan quickly found a "Greek Dictionary" from the pile of books in front of him, and his fingers quickly Locked on a few words, "Pandora, it turns out that Pandora has this meaning in Greek...then... if the rest of the sentences are connected ...So that's how it is!......But, why did you choose that place...?"

"Why, have you solved the puzzle?" After spending so long with Conan, Haibara had already learned to read information from his expressions.

"Well, the location where Kidd appeared has been unlocked. Although I don't understand his intention for doing that for the time being. But enough, thank you, Huiyuan."

Seeing Conan running away with an excited expression on his face, Haibara sighed, "What an idiot with only reasoning in his mind." He lowered his head and continued to discuss with the "Cosmic Explosion Theory Collection" in his hand.
