Not too many out of four

After a week's trip to Shizuoka, both body and mind were completely relieved and relaxed, Li Jia and Nakahara Chuya returned to Mihua Town contentedly.

The iron gate on the outer wall of Kudo’s house has not been opened for a week, and a little dust has fallen. The flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard have become a little lonely due to the lack of care of the owner. The grass leaves are almost ankle-deep after being moistened by the rain.

"It seems that the first thing to do when I come back is to clean up." "Brother Zhongye" looked around, holding his coat behind his back and sighing.

It is true that the whole family is out for a week, and the house is really prone to dust, especially the bungalow of Kudo House is quite large, and it is extremely difficult to clean it usually, let alone leave for a week.

He originally thought about returning the car when he came back to Mihua Town, but now it seems that it may not be convenient until later.

"Hey, have Aunt Youxizi and the others come back these days?" Li Jia opened the shoe cabinet to change shoes, and unexpectedly found that several pairs of shoes that were originally neatly placed had become messy and crooked, as if they were randomly stuffed in a hurry go in.

"Is that guy Kudo back?" "Nakaya-kun" bent down to look at him, and said indifferently, "Doesn't he go out in a hurry when he encounters a case sometimes?"

When the case is resolved, he will forget what trivial matter he missed.

Doesn't he often do this kind of thing?A guy who is driven around by the case.

"Is that so?" Li Jia wondered to herself, but the messed up shoes were the shoes left by the Kudou couple at home. No matter how careless Kudou Shinji was, he wouldn't touch the shoes that weren't his.

"Don't think so much, we still have a lot to do today." "Zhong Ye" patted her on the head, paused at the shoe cabinet, and turned her attention away.

It’s true that it’s not a big deal if a few pairs of shoes in the shoe cabinet are changed. Li Jia regained her bewilderment, took out the slippers, and shouted: “Brother Zhongye, you can accompany me to go out and give you a present ?"

When I went out for a week, I only wanted to buy some simple and light souvenirs. I didn’t expect that I would buy more and more as I walked around. Even if half of them were things that needed to be given away, the rest would be enough for them to sort out for an afternoon.

Going out with so many things, even though the Mori Detective Agency is not far from Kudou's house, it is still a burden to carry things all the way there, just in time to send the things to Uncle Mori and the others before the car is returned.

The presents that will be given to Lawyer Concubine and Miss Yuanzi are all sent to Wuchome, please Miss Lan to help them pass them on, and there are some gifts that I want to bring to my brother, and I will also send them there together.

Of course, in name, she would say that she was entrusted by someone to take care of Conan-kun, so she sent some extra gifts, which would not make it difficult for her brother.

I heard that during the time she was kidnapped and hospitalized, my brother once appeared at the Teidan High School’s campus festival, and there was Conan-kun who appeared together. Mori Ran, who originally identified Edogawa Conan as Kudo Shinichi, retracted his doubts about their identities .

Ke Lijia didn't see that scene with her own eyes, and smiled at Mao Lilan and said that she should have thought too much, but she didn't fully believe it, especially in the rescue operation when she was kidnapped to the port of Yokohama, Conan-kun showed The action and attitude have made Li Jia sure that Conan-kun is definitely the elder brother.

Ms. Lan's feeling is not wrong, and she will not feel wrong. There must be something inconvenient to tell them, so my brother tried his best to hide his identity.

As long as she knows that her brother is healthy, she can feel at ease.

In Lijia's heart, Kudo Shinichi is just like her Superman cats and cats, an omnipotent detective.

……

"Do you have to pick up so many things at once?" "Brother Zhongye" looked back at the souvenirs piled up in the back seat. On the return journey, because there was not enough space in the car, Zhongya Zhongye and the others turned back into cats. The rest responsible for driving "Brother Zhongye" and Li Jia, who was sitting in the co-pilot, tried to free up the back seat and the trunk to store their luggage and shopping.

But even so, Li Jia, who is addicted to buying gifts, and "Brother Zhongye", who can make money and spend money, still bought too many things, causing them to put their luggage on the roof of the car when they go out. return.

"Would it scare people to carry it up all at once?" Li Jia muttered with her face on her face. She knew that "Brother Zhongye" had the ability to carry everything up at one go, but it felt a bit eye-catching and aroused the surprise of passers-by.

"Let's move up slowly one by one." She bent her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I just called when I was going out. Conan-kun and Uncle Maoli are both in the office, so there is no need to worry about things piled up at the door."

Although it will be a little troublesome, it is also fun to give gifts to others, and it is also very interesting to see the other person's expression of liking or surprise.

Turn off the car and park it in a place where you can temporarily park, "Brother Zhongye" consciously carried some heavy objects, handed the light things to Li Jia, counted the things and said: "Shochu and special appetizers for Maori detectives, Maori cuisine Bags and rice vinegar, toys and postcards for Kudo."

"The local limited Okino Yoko posters for Uncle Maori, Ms. Lan's backpack ornaments and notebooks, and special stamps from various places for my brother." Li Jia followed up and checked to make sure that she didn't take the wrong things.

Move these things up first, and then get gifts from Miss Yuanzi and Lawyer Concubine when you come back.

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, Li Jiateng knocked on the door, politely waiting for the person inside to respond.

"Brother Li Jia and Chuya?" The person who opened the door was Conan Edogawa. He asked in surprise, "Why do you bring so many things to the door?"

The time they set off for Shizuoka happened to be the time when the Mori family was preparing to return from Kumamoto. The two parties happened to stagger their schedules, and they failed to say hello when they came back and left.

"It's a present for you guys." "Brother Zhongye" looked down at him, walked in the door where the young boy made way, put down everything, and said, "Here, this one is for you."

Edogawa Conan took the postcard, looked at the shochu and rice vinegar on the table, and twitched his mouth: "Why is it a postcard?"

Does he look like someone who likes postcards?He doesn't even write letters very well, how could he write postcards.

"Is this shochu from Shizuoka?" Mori Kogoro patted "Brother Chuya" on the shoulder happily, saying sorry, it's really troublesome, without a smile on his face.

The happy and angry Maori detective is a very easy-to-understand adult, and it is very easy to do what he likes. He can be happy just by giving him wine.

Li Jia looked around and saw that Mori Kogoro was focusing on "Brother Nakaya" and Mao Lilan was not nearby, so he quietly handed the stamp to the young boy and said: "This is for Conan-kun, if you don't have time to call, you should call more The girl you like writes postcards."

In name, the big detective who is running around all over the place, and it is inconvenient to reveal the location, can secretly write a postcard, put a stamp on it, and put it in the mailbox of the detective agency. Anyway, the letters of the Maori detective agency are received by Ms. Lan when she comes back from school. , and don’t need to worry about being seen by others.

Edogawa Conan was stunned for a moment, and said with a little awkwardness: "I know, I know."

Although Lan might see through a postcard without a postmark, she shouldn't be too suspicious if she wrote one by accident.

"Did you have fun going to Shizuoka this time?" Putting the things in his pockets, he remembered to greet Li Jia.

"Super happy! I went to dig spring bamboo shoots and soak in hot springs. I saw a lot of beautiful places and took a lot of photos." The girl's brows and eyes were full of excitement, and her hands on her knees were long and gesticulating, as if she was with her brother Like a spoiled little girl.

Edogawa Conan, who is still a young boy on the outside, but already seventeen or eighteen years old in his heart, was pleased to see his sister's rare bright and lively smile, reached out and stroked her hair, and said softly as he did when we lived together every day in the past: " Just have fun."

It was the first time he had seen Li Jia look so happy, and she was still too restrained in the same place, making her feel lonely and bored.

Li Jia's words passed through his mind slowly, his face froze, and he asked: "Soak in the hot spring? Did you go to the Xiushan Temple?"

Should I ask, how did the five of them soak in the hot spring when they went out?

Those boys won't take advantage of his sister, will they?

"Yeah, the hot spring is very comfortable," she nodded with a smile, not aware of what Edogawa Conan wanted to ask, but said regretfully, "It would be great if my brother would go with me."

If it wasn't for the wrong itinerary, she really hoped that the family could hang out together.

He still couldn't hold back his mouth and asked, "Li Jia, are you in the hot spring town..." Each of you took a bath or went to a mixed bath.

Before finishing speaking, there was a light knock on the door of the office, and the blond-haired, dark-skinned young man smiled and asked, "Excuse me, is there a visitor?"

The sudden appearance of a dangerous person made Edogawa Conan instantly forget what he was going to ask just now. He turned his vigilant expression and glanced at the other person from an angle that was not easy to be seen, with a faintly strange expression on his face.

"Conan-kun?" Li Jia whispered, "Are you okay?"

Why did the expression suddenly change, and it became quite scary and serious.

She was crouching in front of Edogawa Conan with her knees hugged, and she happened to see the whole process of the young boy changing his face. He seemed to want to say something just now, but suddenly changed his expression.

She quietly raised her eyes to see a blond young man wearing an apron from the Poirot Café, with a harmless and gentle smile. His hair color and complexion looked a bit like a foreigner, but his facial features were biased towards Japanese, a person he had never seen before.

Edogawa Conan quickly recovered the lively and lovely smile of a child, and replied to Toru Amuro: "It's sister Ran's friend, who brought us a present from Shizuoka."

With his hands behind his back, he made an excited and childish look, and said, "I bought a lot of interesting things."

"Ke, Conan-kun?" Li Jia blinked blankly, a little unable to react to the young boy's side, Edogawa Conan seldom made such a disguise in front of her, she couldn't tell that this was a real child's performance Or brother in disguise.

Edogawa Conan patted her comfortingly with his small hand behind his back, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, it's just a new employee at the Poirot Cafe downstairs."

He will not tell Li Jia about Amuro Toru's dangerous identity and origin.

His sister was not good at acting and lying, and telling her these things suddenly would only arouse her fear, and it was not necessary.

However, when they left the office, they still had to tell "Mr. Chuya" to be wary of people from the Black Organization that might appear nearby.

Li Jia breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said shyly, "It's the first time we meet, my name is Fujimine Li Jia."

"Brother Chuya", who was still chatting about Shizuoka shochu with Detective Maori, fell silent the moment Toru Amuro entered the door. He raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised that the other party, as a person from the other world, would be fair and honest to Maori. Work part-time at the coffee shop downstairs of the detective agency.

"...Hello," said the cobalt blue eyes with a sense of scrutiny and warning, "I am Zhongye in the Central Plains."

Apparently, Toru Amuro, who once had a deal with "Brother Chuya" in Shizuoka, was better than them in acting, with a pure and gentle smile: "Toru Amuro, a private detective, is downstairs in order to learn from Mr. Mori, a famous detective. Working in a coffee shop."

He acted like he had never seen "Brother Zhongye" before, and he didn't care about the other party's vague sharpness.

Mouri Kogoro, who is sometimes shrewd and sometimes rough, didn't notice the tension between them at all, and said: "Oh, Amuro just came here in the past few days, so it's no wonder you don't know each other."

They met in a case before going to Kumamoto. They didn’t expect to see Toru Amuro appearing in the Poirot Café downstairs when they came back from Kumamoto. They even used the detective’s work salary and some benefits to learn from the Maori detective. .

It happened to be the time when Li Jia and the others were away, and they were also regarded as the number one disciple of Mori Kogoro.

Today, I brought the sandwiches I made in the store, and I planned to make lunch for Mori Kogoro and others who had no one to prepare lunch.

The housework of the Mori family is usually handled by Mori Lan. She left for Karuizawa not long after she came back from Kumamoto because of the karate club. something to eat.

"It just so happens that I made too many sandwiches today. Do you want to eat together, Ms. Li Jia and Mr. Nakahara?" There are only two people in the detective agency, but Toru Amuro brought more than five people, even if it was reserved for dinner, it would be too much up.

"Brother Zhongye" responded in an unclear manner: "Then we will not be polite."

He accidentally made too much, he thought it was because of their appearance that he deliberately made more than a few people.

Li Jia was next to "Brother Zhongye", gently tugged on his sleeve, and whispered worriedly: "Brother Zhongye..."

She couldn't see anything wrong with Toru Amuro, but "Brother Chuya" didn't usually treat strangers like this.

Although they don't look like a good-tempered person, Nakahara Chuya and the others are actually very gentle people, and they rarely show a vaguely hostile attitude towards people they meet for the first time.

She was a little worried that they would clash in Uncle Maori's office.

The palm of the black glove covered Li Jia's hand, and the wanton raised eyebrows calmed down, and he whispered: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

After all, this is a detective agency, and neither Toru Amuro nor he will tear their faces here, exposing the darkness that belongs to the other side.

Li Jia Anxin pursed her lips, and now she was in the mood to taste the latest signature sandwich at Café Poirot. The moment her teeth and tongue touched the bread and filling, she said pleasantly, "This is delicious."

She didn't expect the sandwich to have such a rich, layered and harmonious flavor. This is definitely the best sandwich she has ever eaten.

She puffed up her cheeks like a little squirrel, her eyes lit up with joy and said, "Brother Zhongye, try this sandwich quickly, let's bring some back to Mr. Zhongye and the others later."

It's embarrassing to leave them tidying up and cleaning at home, and secretly eating delicious food outside.

"Is it so delicious?" With a gentle smile on his brows and wide eyes, he asked in a low voice, "Is the tuna in Li Jia's hand? Can I have a taste?"

There were still a few tuna-flavored sandwiches left on the table, but he didn't go to get them, but asked Li Jia for some.

Edogawa Conan vaguely felt that something was wrong, and his brows twitched.

"I haven't eaten this part." Li Jia lowered her head and broke off half of the sandwich, looked at the gloves that "Brother Zhongye" hadn't taken off, and handed them to his mouth, smiling: "This way, you don't have to worry about getting your gloves dirty." .”

"Thank you, I was still worrying about this just now." "Brother Zhongye" bowed his head and bit the food on his lips obediently, and finished the sandwich in two or three bites with Li Jia's hand.

He licked the sauce sticking to his mouth with his tongue, and said with a smile, "Thank you for the hospitality."

Edogawa Conan's face was dark and ugly, and he almost crushed the sandwich in his hand.

this bastard...
