"I'm very curious about you, Detective Edogawa."

Akashi Seijuro took off his apron, put it aside, and looked down at Conan Edogawa.

At the corner of the stairs at the back door of Dr. Ali's house, there are only the two of them now.

Conan thought that this guy was too difficult to deal with. Ordinary people would just laugh at his self-introduction "My name is Edogawa Conan, I am a detective". Unless they have been in contact with him for a long time like Sato and Takagi, otherwise At best, his impression was that he was a smart kid, but Akashi didn't think so.

He even called him "Detective Edogawa" seriously, with a flat expression on his face, without the slightest hint of teasing or joking.

This title made Conan feel bad.

"Brother Akashi, what are you talking about," he could only forcefully pretend to be stupid, "I don't understand."

"I have wondered since a long time ago why the famous detective Mori Kogoro always reasoned in a sleeping posture when solving cases. It was no different from a deep sleep. I observed his body carefully. In the case-solving video, you can’t even see his mouth moving, so where did the sound come from? Did he use ventriloquism?”

Akashi Seijuro's voice was very soft, but every word gave Conan a headache.

"I've watched more than two dozen videos. Every time the Maori detective falls asleep, you will be surrounded by you, and he seems to only allow you to approach him alone... Obviously he didn't allow you to touch the parts of the crime scene before. What’s more, his analysis and attitude towards the case are really different before and after the deep sleep, and he often overturns his theories before the deep sleep—”

Akashi took a step closer, and said slowly, "...it seems like he was secretly manipulated by someone."

Conan hurriedly defended: "Ah, no, Uncle Maori is very powerful. He said that before to let the prisoner relax his vigilance, show off his feet, and facilitate the collection of evidence. In fact, he has seen through everything long ago."

"Oh, is that so?" Akashi said lightly, "I also met him at a tea party held by a friend before, and when I asked him about the contents of a few cases he solved, he couldn't answer many key points. Come up, it can even be said that you know nothing about the case itself."

Conan took a step back, leaning his back against the wall: "Maybe Uncle Maori is joking with you, he usually likes to say that."

Help, why did he meet such a difficult and serious person?

"Really? The last time I was in Grape Mountain Villa, when I saw Dr. A Li solve the murder case, the mouth shape and voice didn't match in some places. Is there a voice actor behind Dr. A Li that we can't see? "

Akashi Seijuro had already pushed Conan into a corner, and leaned down slightly, "Detective Edogawa, can you lend me the bow on your chest?"

"No, no, this is my mother's thing!" Conan protected the bow and made up nonsense, "My mother left me such a thing before she left me! I swear to protect it forever, if one day I can still see her, I want to put it on for her myself!"

When Akashi heard Conan mentioning "mother", his body was startled, and after a while he said, "Sorry, I didn't know that was something your mother left you."

Conan blushed forcibly, pretending to be crying: "When I was very young, my parents separated, I was sentenced to my father, and my mother went abroad. The bow was the last gift she gave me. I don't know when I'll see her again..."

"enough!"

Haibara Ai who didn't know when appeared indifferently drank Conan who was pretending to cry and Akashi who didn't know how to comfort him.

Haibara is quite speechless about Conan's flamboyant acting skills. Kudo Yukiko is so good at acting, why didn't he inherit it at all, but she can't do nothing. After all, Akashi is already wondering whether Conan is a child.

"Mr. Akashi, since you want to know so much, let me tell you the truth." Haibara's expression was quite serious, even serious. She glanced at Conan and signaled him with her eyes—now, I will let you know today. You know the difference between bad actors and good actors.

"Detective Mori Kogoro, the reason why he has two completely opposite attitudes before and after solving the case is because he has a dual personality."

Haibara spoke nonsense in a serious manner, "He under No.1 personality is naturally friendly, although he is a bit rash but easy to get along with, he is an approachable uncle. He is very strong under the second personality, because he was born to solve crimes Avatar."

Conan was stunned for a moment when he heard it, thinking that Huiyuan's exaggeration was too exaggerated, which was obviously more exaggerated than his exaggeration.

But Akashi's expression gradually changed.

Huiyuan went on to blow: "Actually, Uncle Mao Li was not like this at the beginning. He was also an unknown detective before, and he was not very good at it. Later, he was involved in a murder case, and the second victim told him before he died. Said: "It's okay, Detective Maori, you have tried your best." Uncle felt that he didn't try his best at all, which was very painful. Since then, he has awakened his second personality."

"The second personality was only born to solve the case, to give justice to the victim, and to bring the real criminal to justice, so after the case is over, he will disappear." The more Huiyuan said, the more excited he was, and he clenched his fists "He has solved so many cases, and he has been revenged many times by the families of prisoners who hold grudges, but he has never flinched once, no matter whether it is Uncle Maoli with the No. 1 character or Uncle Maoli with the second personality. It's amazing, you still doubt him? Uncle who works so hard, can you understand his hard work?"

Akashi said lightly, "I'm sorry, but I understand."

"How can you understand the hardships of having a dual personality? Uncle often gets drunk for this, just hoping to keep the second personality forever and be the best detective!" My uncle's daughter, Sister Xiaolan, told me secretly, because I had the same doubts as you before."

Conan was stunned by the side, Haibara, you are not bragging, you are bragging about the sperm whale.

Haibara glanced at Conan again, and suddenly showed an old mother's smile, which surprised Conan.

"Mr. Akashi, as you think, the two of us are different from Ayumi and the others. We are indeed not children."

Conan: "!!!" Haibara, are you crazy!

"The two of us are cousins. In fact, we are both 12 years old now. It is time to go to junior high school, but our height grows very slowly. Like Mitsuhiko Ayumi who is a few years younger, we also go to hospitals at home and abroad. We checked, but couldn't find anything, so we can only lie about our age a few years younger." A self-deprecating smile appeared on Haibara's face, "I don't even know if Conan and I will be like this for the rest of our lives. If you are taller, you will be called a dwarf, a little dwarf in the future."

The corner of Conan's mouth twitched when Yui Mitsui suspected him of being a dwarf.

Deathly silence.

After a long time, I heard Akashi say: "I will grow taller, and I will grow taller when the time comes."

Huiyuan shook his head: "You are comforting us."

"Not consolation."

Akashi lifted his feet up the stairs, and the coat he was wearing drew an arc in the air. He was condescending, and slowly said the second half of the sentence, "...I was not tall before."

After Akashi left, Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hui Yuan, it's actually very useful to deceive him with your random words."

Huiyuan said coldly: "I'm not just talking nonsense."

"Uncle Maori's double-personality lie is too exaggerated for me, but he actually believes—"

"Only those who have experienced it will believe it."

Huiyuan turned on his phone and sent a group message.

[Thanks, Liu, Gan, the information provided in time is very useful, next time I will send you cookies. 】

Conan secretly glanced at the group name, it's called [Heaven and Earth Data Jun].

Yui Mitsui did not participate in the work of making dumplings after cutting the stuffing. Of course, Seiichi Yukimura should lead the children to do this kind of aesthetic test.

She told the clever Mitsuhiko to keep an eye on Fujisuke to prevent him from adding anything to the dumpling stuffing, and then she came to the rooftop alone.

The roof of Dr. Ali's house is very clean, there are no flowers or grass, it is empty.

She sat down cross-legged, and happily took out a can of beer from her bag - this was taken from Renzu's car, and Renzu couldn't drink secretly, most likely his sister forgot it in his car.

Since Mitsui Shou returned to the national team, the source of her drinking has become a problem.

Mitsui Shou would never stop her from drinking, but it was impossible to buy her a special drink. In the past, when the two of them went shopping, she secretly put the beer in the shopping cart, and Mitsui Shou was responsible for the checkout.

But now, you can't buy it in stores, vending machines, izakayas, or cheats from Tetsuo... Drinking a can of beer has become difficult.

She thought that physical adulthood and minorhood meant little to her, and she was forced to become an adult from the moment no one cared about her.

— But fortunately, I made good friends.

She opened the tab of the beer can, and because it was shaken violently in the bag earlier, a lot of foam gushed out.

She took a sip and shook the can.

She squinted her eyes and remembered the story about love in beer that Ninzu told. Immature love is like the foam in beer. It is really strong when it erupts on impulse, but it comes and goes quickly—isn’t it Well, the foam in the beer has gone.

She thought of Atobe's confession, strictly speaking, it was not a confession.

Just making a connection.

He didn't say, I like you.

If you don't say this, it's not a confession.

In her opinion, whether it is "the moonlight is beautiful tonight" or "the moon on the sea is the moon in the sky", it is not a confession.

The real confession is to be concise, to say the essence, to say "I like you".

... Maybe it was because he broke off the engagement with Ooka Feng, and now he is looking for a marriage partner again—no, she thinks highly of herself, and anyone who touches her condition will make a mess. If he has this plan, his family members will also firmly oppose it.

Probably, Atobe was just on a whim, and wanted to find someone to associate with. After all, according to Higashito and Mingo Ryo, he had too many things on a whim, and maybe after a while, he completely forgot.

Yui Mitsui drank half of a can of beer, when someone approached behind her, she quietly put the can of beer under her schoolbag on the left.

The man sat down beside her, and asked softly, "Mitsui."

"Akashi-kun."

"You don't need to use honorifics for me anymore." Akashi Seijuro handed her a box of snacks, "It's delicious, do you want to eat it?"

...Why do the people closest to me like to hand her snacks.

"Thank you."

She accepted the box, but did not open it.

"I'm sorry I was late that day and put you through something horrible."

"It's not scary, it's actually similar to bungee jumping." Yui Mitsui said quietly, "The moment I went down, I was rescued before I had time to be afraid. I should thank you, and Yukimura-kun."

Speaking of this, her hand unconsciously touched the beer can, thinking that Akashi would not control her drinking like Fuji did, so she simply picked it up and took a sip.

Akashi caught a glimpse of what was in her hand, frowned slightly, and grabbed her wrist.

"Mitsui, you are not yet of age."

Mitsui Yui half-jokingly said, "Then treat me as an early adult."

"The law stipulates that minors cannot drink alcohol, and if minors drink alcohol secretly, even their guardians will be punished—"

When he said this, he noticed that her eyes were a little red.

I don't know if it's because I'm in a bad mood or because I've been drinking.

Her voice was a little hoarse, but still calm.

"If you can find my guardians, then punish them, go to jail or something else, they deserve it." She licked her lips, "...But now I have no one to guard me."

Akashi still didn't let go of her wrist: "You can't drink alcohol, the law is the law."

After all, the other hand moved over to reach the beer can, Mitsui also reached out to snatch it, and the two were not to be outdone.

In the end, "poof—"

Because of the snatching, the jar tilted, and the remaining half of the jar of wine was poured between Akashi Seijuro's legs.

Akashi: "..."

Yui Mitsui: "..."

The two looked at each other in silence until Ayumi came up and called them: "The dumplings are ready, brother Fei, sister Xiaowei, come down."

"Okay, we'll be right there."

Yui Mitsui looked at Akashi in embarrassment: "Sorry, I was a little impulsive just now—"

Akashi lowered his eyes and looked between his legs, which were completely soaked.

He can't even walk in this state, the position of pouring is too ecstasy, it's too misleading.

"Go down first, I'll stay here to dry."

It seems that this is the only way to do it.

He looked up at the afterglow of the setting sun, the sun looked drowsy, and seemed to be drying for a long time ( ̄- ̄)

Mitsui had an idea and said, "I have an idea, you can tie your coat around your waist, I saw others wear it like that before."

When the girls in high school had their menstrual period, and sometimes accidentally soiled their skirts, they would take off their school uniform jackets and tie them around their waists to cover them up. This is almost an unspoken secret among all the girls.

After Akashi listened to her suggestion and followed her advice, he felt more and more strange. He felt that he was on a boat of thieves.

Because of the jacket tied around his waist, the sleeves hang down beside his trousers, like skirts on both sides, making his movements coquettish.

Mitsui Yui looked at Akashi Seijuro who was indifferent but dressed funny, and said against his will: "It looks good, let's go down."

"Mitsui," Akashi picked up the beer can, emptied it and put it in her schoolbag, "Don't drink any more until you're an adult."
