Not too many out of four

The days of waiting may be long, but the long night will eventually come to an end.

The day when all the crimes and existence of the Black Organization were announced, it caused a shock to countless people in the society. They may not all know the leaders and senior cadres of the Black Organization. , are people who are familiar to the public and often see people in newspapers.

Anyone thrown out is a celebrity from all walks of life. These people are only peripheral personnel in the mysterious black organization, and they are not even counted as internal core personnel. What a terrifying figure the organization's cadres and leaders must be.

Their crimes are too many to count, and each one of them is a horrific horror.

Due to the big action of the disk's internal program, the public security, police department, and prosecutor's office who wanted to concentrate on dealing with the black organization were all forced to act in advance. All the officials and celebrities involved in the incident were brought back for questioning and interrogation, and they refused to cooperate. Then he applied for enforcement and an arrest warrant. Anyway, the crimes published on the disk have reached the sentencing standard.

With the cooperation of many parties, it is not difficult to arrest the peripheral members of these organizations. The real difficulty is to capture the cadres and leaders of the organization. Even if their crimes are known and their appearances are known, it is not easy to arrest them all. thing.

In order to meet Li Jia as soon as possible, Chuya Zhongya and the others spared no effort to track the whereabouts of the members of the organization, and did not let them go at all. Anyway, the disk has already announced all the members with code names and the peripheral members of the organization.

Ordinary members of the Metropolitan Police Department and public security have all caught up. Foreign countries and people they don't want to do are held by their own official organizations. As long as they don't appear in Japan, they have nothing to do with them.

But Zhongyuan Zhong also hunts down members with code names and doesn’t care whether they are in the country or not. Even if they are abroad, they will chase them out. .

……

People outside are running around, taking action for several months, just so that their loved ones can live freely in the sun, and their lives will not be threatened or persecuted.

When Li Jia and the Mao Li family were informed that they could leave the safe house and go home freely, they were almost stunned on the spot, and it took a while to recover.

She couldn't wait to ask: "Is everything over?"

Kazami Yuya pushed his glasses, nodded and said: "Everything is over, Ms. Li Jia can go back to Mihua Town's residence, Mr. Zhongyuan and the others are already outside..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Jia stepped on her slippers and ran directly outside.

She couldn't wait to change her shoes and didn't want to wait for the elevator to slowly come up, so she turned around and ran towards the stairs, bumping her head into the young man who turned up the stairs.

The smell of tobacco is mixed with the breath of youth, so familiar that it has been so long that it makes people want to cry.

"I haven't seen you for so long, how did you become so reckless?" Even the voice was low and pleasant with a faint smile.

Tears filled the eye sockets faster than thoughts, and the blurred vision could not even see the people in front of him clearly, only the familiar outlines and a few people behind the young man could be vaguely seen.

With just one glance, without even seeing the appearance clearly, the tears couldn't stop wanting to fall.

"W-why are you crying all of a sudden?" The boy was at a loss and wanted to comfort her, he quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

"Where is it uncomfortable? Do you want to go back to the house to sit and rest first?" The youngest boy panicked and wanted to hold her back, but he was afraid that Li Jia would feel uncomfortable, and it would be even more uncomfortable if he touched her.

The young man standing next to the girl vaguely understood something, and said in a low voice, "Is there anything you want to take back? Let's go home together."

Just the word "home" instantly triggered the switch of her tears, and she couldn't help but started to wet her face.

She tried her best to restrain herself from crying and crying on the happy day of the reunion, but she couldn't seem to hold it back at all.

Missing, hope, and worry mixed together and surged out, turning into tears and dripping down the corners of the eyes, and it was extremely difficult to elicit a smile.

"You, you are back," she choked up so much that she could barely make a sound, and could only sob intermittently: "I'm so worried about you..."

Worried that they will be injured outside, that they will get sick and no one will take care of them, and even more worried that they will not be able to control their bodies and turn back into cats, forgetting everything and wandering around outside.

She worried about many things, but she dared not tell them anything.

Zhongyuan Zhongya and the others lived a strong and reckless life, and she was afraid that her words would be groundless worries in their eyes, troublesome and long-winded things that would never happen, and they would not take them to heart if she said them.

But it doesn't feel good knowing nothing but staying in a safe place and waiting for them to come back.

She couldn't even get any news about Chuya Nakahara. She didn't know if they were doing well outside or taking good care of their bodies. She could only know that the situation outside was tense through the police who took care of them.

The whereabouts of Zhongya Zhongya and the others are top secrets during the operation. In order to prevent people from the black organization from knowing their whereabouts, often even the allies will not know their actions.

"Idiot, there is nothing to worry about." It was completely unexpected that Li Jia was crying because of this, "Mr. Zhongye" heaved a sigh of relief, and comforted clumsily: "With our strength, no one can hurt us."

In the Central Plains, which has the ability of gravity, it is almost invincible in this world that has no abilities and only relies on physical skills and thermal weapons. As long as the food you eat is not poisoned by people, no one can beat them just by face-to-face opponent.

"I, I'm just worried," Li Jia raised her hand and wiped her tears vigorously, unable to organize her words smoothly: "What if Mr. Zhongye turns back into a cat and doesn't remember anything and is bullied and thrown with stones..."

After a few months without getting any news, it was not only Li Jia who felt that the suffering was long, but also Nakahara Chuya and the others.

For the safety of Li Jia and the others, people who still have communication with the outside world cannot go to the safe house at will. If they are seen or the transmitter is brought into the safe house, it will bring great trouble to the asylum seekers.

The longing and the eagerness to solve everything and return to normal life prompted Nakahara Chuya to suppress his physical strength and spirit to hunt down and kill the remnants of the black organization. Knowing that there were people who were proficient in disguise in the organization, he didn't even forget to check if the other party was there. After changing his mind and feigning death, he escaped from his pursuit.

"Holding, I'm sorry, I can't control it," Li Jia cried uncontrollably, trembling and shedding more and more tears. In order not to let them see, she deliberately buried her head to avoid their sight: "Wait for me for a while, I'm very happy." Quickly adjust yourself."

"It doesn't matter how long I wait for you." "Chuya" squatted down, saw her crying face like a tabby cat, raised a handkerchief to wipe off the tears on her face little by little: "We can wait as long as we go home today."

"Brother Zhongye" stroked her black hair, it was still as soft and black as ever with a comfortable touch: "Don't cry, I didn't come back suddenly to make you cry."

Obviously I want to give her a surprise, a long-lost reunion hug, why people can't stop crying now.

Naturally, he is willing to wait as long as he wants, but he prefers to wait when he is dating, rather than Li Jia not crying when she gets tired of crying because they are crying.

Even if he wants to see her cry, it's not at this time. He has thought about bullying her to cry when the two are alone, but that is also a comfortable and happy cry, not tears of bitter thoughts and worries.

"Mr. Chuya" said in a low voice: "Sorry, I made you worry."

Although it was forced by the situation that he couldn't deliver his news back home, Li Jia was really upset when he was worried about him for so long.

Everything is because of liking, worrying and missing because of liking, and crying when we meet again.

It is also because he likes to care about her that he feels sorry for her tears and fear. He did not hesitate to become a "postman" for Kudou's plan, and experienced an unstable life of being hunted down for nearly two months.

The cobalt blue eyes were full of pity and distress, gentle and quiet, and he whispered: "Li Jia, let's go home."

Go back to the home where they have been living together.

……

Li Jia lived in the safe house for a period of time, but she didn't buy many things, only one or two suitcases could fit them all.

The Mori family lived here for a longer time, so it took a lot longer to pack things and luggage, and Conan Edogawa also helped to pack.

He has no way to change back to Kudo Shinichi for the time being. The drug researched by the organization is not simply able to develop an antidote, but with the research and experiment data of Miyano and his wife 19 years ago, it must be only a matter of time before the antidote is developed. .

The young boy didn't know how to face Mao Lilan at first.

He has concealed his identity for such a long time. Mao Lilan suspected his identity several times and was fooled. Suddenly, because he explained the situation to the black organization and exposed his identity, the two were forced to separate for half a year. It would be too late to explain anything. up.

But Mao Lilan didn't blame him, and even beckoned him to come over and help pack his luggage in a natural manner.

He peeked at Mao Lilan's expression over and over again, but he couldn't see anything unusual, and he was extremely flustered.

In the past, every time she brought up Kudo Shinichi and reunited with him, she would definitely teach him a lesson, first doing this and then teaching him karate, but the fact is that Lan has never touched him once, and even cared about his whereabouts and health , let him not push himself too hard.

The girl he has liked since kindergarten, who has persisted for more than ten years and even supported him to come back from the duels with the black organization again and again, is because he promised to come back to her if he died.

So please ask her to wait for him to come back.

Now that the truth is revealed, he doesn't know why Mao Lilan's reaction seems so flat, but he dare not ask anything, so he can only silently run back and forth beside her.

"Brother, let's move our things home first." Li Jia packed her luggage, and she didn't need Conan Edogawa's small body to go back to pack with her. "Brother, stay here and help Miss Lan and the others."

His physical reflex froze, he nodded indiscriminately and said, "Ah, good."

He carefully peeked at Mao Lilan's reaction, fearing that she would get angry or bring up old accounts.

"Be careful on the road," Mao Lilan smiled and waved goodbye: "Pay attention to the traffic lights before going."

She still took care of Li Jia like a child, and there was nothing unusual in her expression and attitude.

The calmer Mao Lilan seemed, the more flustered he felt. He didn't even care about the four guys in Zhongye, so he had time to throw down a sentence in a hurry: "Don't do what you shouldn't do, Li Jia is still an underage girl."

"Zhong Ye" who was grabbed by him nodded helplessly: "I know about this kind of thing even if you don't tell me."

They're not impatient guys, they're just rushing back to Kudo's house. Tomorrow is Li Jia's birthday. They deliberately asked Kudo to give them a day, not because they wanted to do something inappropriate for minors.

But to say goodbye to Li Jia.

They have delayed for too long, and this world can no longer accommodate the four Central Plains Chuya with supernatural powers.

The actions of chasing and killing the cadres of the black organization were too presumptuous, and they were not too stingy in using their abilities, which caused the world to reject them more and more.

Of course, if Zhong Yuanzhong is willing to stay in this world as a cat and accepts that from now on he cannot change into a human being and can only accompany Li Jia as a cat, they still have a chance to stay.

But the four of them are not separate individuals, but the same soul that exists on different timelines. If one of the Central Plains Chuya is missing, they will become incomplete or disappear from then on.

For Li Jia and for them to be together in the future, it is imperative to become a person again.

The time may be today or tomorrow, as long as they maintain their human form, the world will drive them away.

Several times, Zhongyuan Zhong was almost squeezed out by the world, and it became more and more difficult to use supernatural powers and maintain the human form. He just resisted the repulsion and forcibly stayed because he thought that there were still unfinished things to do.

Perhaps the human body, which can withstand self-contradictory abilities, is relatively resistant to pressure, and it is not so simple for the world consciousness to force them out.

"Zhongye?" Li Jia turned her head and waved at him, with a cute smile on her brows and eyes: "We have to go back and clean up the house first, before we go back together with my brother."

The place where no one has lived for nearly half a year really needs to be tidied up.

It may take several days to clean up the fallen leaves and weeds in the courtyard alone, not counting the area of ​​the bungalow and the places that need to be cleaned up.

Half a day has passed today, if I don't take the time to clean up the bedroom and kitchen, I'm afraid I will have to go out for dinner.

"Come here," he raised his voice to respond, leaving a low voice to the worried little detective: "Don't worry, this is the last day."

Edogawa Conan frowned in confusion, what does the last day mean?

"Zhong Ye" didn't seem to be lying just now, and even his tone seemed very serious, and he didn't just say something casually.

What exactly are Chuya and the others planning to do today?

……

The house number with the word "Kudo" written on it has become desolate because no one has taken care of it for a long time, and the weeds in the garden are overgrown, and it takes a lot of effort to push out the weeder to clean it.

Fortunately, tomorrow is garbage removal day, as long as all the weeds are cut and swept into the garbage dump, they can directly throw the garbage to the garbage dump.

"It looks like it's going to be very late today," Li Jia opened the porch door and looked around the house. The dust was blowing up everywhere, and the furniture was not covered with a dustproof cloth, and it was directly exposed and left here to cause a lot of dust.

"When I left, I was in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to tidy up the house." If they could leave with a dust-proof cloth on, their workload would at least be halved today.

"Brother Zhongye" responded, and changed the subject: "Let's go out for dinner tonight."

No matter how you spend your last day, as long as you can be with the people you like, even just ordinary cleaning is an action that makes you feel at ease.

"Okay, bring a cake by the way!" Li Jia put down the suitcase and opened it, and put four sets of neatly folded sweaters in the middle of the protected position: "I have prepared birthday gifts for you, although there is no way to get them in April My birthday is on the 29th, but the cake still needs to be made up."

"This is a sweater, a hat, and gloves?" "Mr. Zhongye" bent down and looked at the three-piece winter suit in Li Jia's hand.

Wearing a sweater at the end of June and the beginning of July is somewhat hot, but thinking about it carefully, this is a gift that Li Jia has been preparing after Christmas. Although the gift is not in season, it can be saved for later wear.

"Well, I originally wanted to knit the trousers as well, but the trousers probably can't be tucked into the suit trousers, and they don't look good on the outside, so let's forget it." She had seriously considered it.

Although there is no way to wear it now, but autumn will arrive in a few months, and sweaters, gloves, and hats can be used smoothly by then, so it is not a waste.

"Brother Zhongye" said with interest: "The colors are all different?"

Not only the colors but also the patterns woven on the sweaters are different. They are all generous and simple colors suitable for men.

"...No pink?" "Zhong Ye" quickly looked inside the suitcase, heaved a sigh of relief and was a little puzzled.

At the beginning, Li Jia said that she would knit a pink sweater and fill it with a lot of decorations, but now it looks very normal, and it won't attract attention when worn out.

He reached out and touched the stitches and feel of the sweater. It was very fine and warm, and it looked better than what was sold in the store, but it was not suitable for summer.

"Mr. Kazama didn't buy pink wool," Li Jia sighed a little regretfully, she still wanted to knit a cute pink sweater, even if "Chuya" didn't like to wear it, she could wear it out by herself.

"But dark gray and black, dark red, and navy blue are also very good, right?" It's quite a versatile color for men, and it's a sweater that can't go wrong no matter how you make it.

"Mr. Nakaya" hesitated between dark gray and black, and picked up the dark gray sweater: "Can I try it now?"

The dark red and navy blue are shorter in size, probably for the two teenagers of Chuya Nakahara.

The colors of the two of them are dark gray and black, which are the colors of very mature men. If you only ask about the color "Mr. Nakaya", it doesn't matter, but he would prefer the pattern of the dark gray sweater if he chooses according to the pattern.

In fact, as long as it is a sweater knitted by Li Jia, they will like it no matter what color or pattern it is.

Receiving a handmade gift from someone you like, just this long-term and patient heart is worth cherishing.

"Would you like to try it now?" Li Jia blinked in surprise, and hurriedly looked at the temperature and humidity displayed on the phone today: "But it's very hot today, right?"

Wearing a sweater in the high temperature of 28 degrees, even if you don’t wear any inner lining, you will feel too stuffy if you wear a sweater directly.

"Mr. Zhongya" nodded without changing his face: "I want to try on clothes today, and we can go out to eat and eat cakes by the way."

If they don't wear it today, maybe they won't have the chance to wear this sweater tomorrow.
