Not too many out of four

Before falling into a coma again, Li Jia fell into a coma with peace of mind after receiving the news that the orange cat cub had been successfully rescued.

It's just that she didn't expect that the cat that Zhongyuan Zhongye was talking about was fine. It had such a pitiful appearance that the fur had been scorched by the flames, and the cat's hair was ragged and blackened in places.

But after going through the explosion, Li Jia couldn't say anything to complain about, and there were many guests who were hospitalized for treatment due to the explosion and fire. It's good that the orange cat can come back safe and sound.

"Zhongye, do the paws still hurt?" Li Jia kissed the cat's soft and elastic meat pads distressedly. Even the meat pads of "Zhong Ye" were scalded and turned into a completely different color from the usual healthy color.

If she hadn't picked up the cat and checked it, she wouldn't have found that the normal orange kitten was even injured on the paw pads.

"Mi, Mimi." The orange kitten nestled softly in Li Jia's arms, softly calling out his tongue and licking Li Jia's fingers.

The well-behaved and strong appearance almost broke Li Jia's heart. Her family's cat, Nakaya, is indeed the strongest cat. She doesn't even want to show that she is injured and just pretends to be healthy so she doesn't want to worry her.

"Then, that Li Jia," Edogawa Conan twitched his lips, and couldn't help but said, "Isn't it good for you to get so close to Zhong?"

One day after the incident, he still couldn't forget the shock when he saw Nakahara Chuya go into the toilet cubicle and come out with only a cat left.

Either Zhongyuan Zhongye can freely switch between humans and cats, or Zhongyuan Zhongye used some kind of magic to switch places with a cat...

But is there really such a coincidence?The replaced cat happened to be the "Zhongye" cat that he had told Lijia to be fine, and his body also looked scorched by the flames.

Anyway, he concluded that it is impossible for the Central Plains to be a cat demon. He would rather believe that there are drugs that can turn people into cats in the world than believe that there is any unscientific existence in this world.

Li Jia was stunned for a while, leaning her cheek against the head of the orange kitten, tilting her head in doubt and asking, "Why?"

The cute and beautiful face is leaning against the cute and round face of the cat, and the two pairs of equally beautiful blue eyes are looking straight at Edogawa Conan, but they are different from Li Jia's magnificent sea blue eyes that are gradually deepening, "Chuya" There seemed to be a hint of menace in the cobalt blue cat's eyes.

The dark pupils straightened into a narrow line and looked at him calmly as a prey, and when Li Jia hugged it and kissed it, it would obediently round it and enlarge it to look innocent and cute.

Edogawa Conan gritted his teeth secretly, no matter whether this scheming cat is in the Central Plains or not, there is something wrong with it.

But he certainly couldn't tell Li Jia that the cat she raised might be the boy who rescued her in the fire.

Just as he holds the secret that Zhongyuanzhong can also become a human being, Zhongyuanzhong also knows his true identity. He didn't care that he might find out the secret and follow him, probably because of this.

If he told Li Jia bluntly that "Chung Ye" is Zhong Ye of the Central Plains, not to mention that there is no evidence, just look at the appearance of Zhong Ye of the Central Plains, there is no law between him becoming a cat and a human, it depends on whether he can turn back into an adult Usually something out of control.

There is no evidence, and Zhongyuan Zhongya can't change back for a while, telling Li Jia frankly will only cause her troubles.

But let him watch Li Jia unconsciously cuddling with "Zhong Ye"...

"Yin, didn't you get injured?" Edogawa Conan deliberately pretended to be anxious, jumped around and shouted loudly, "Would it be uncomfortable for Li Jia to hold it like this?"

Li Jia shrank her hands in fright, and carefully put the orange kitten on her lap: "Yes, is that so?"

It turns out that "Zhong Ye" has been feeling unwell for a long time, but because the cat can't talk, can't she tell her to complain?

She lowered her brows and eyes apologetically, "I'm sorry Zhongye, my sister only cares about herself."

She forgot that the orange kitten was just rescued from the fire, and Mao Mao was burnt. There might be some invisible injuries on his body, which wouldn't be visible without a detailed examination in the hospital.

The orange kitty raised his head gently and licked her cheek, making a soft cry: "Mi."

The tail was tangled around Lijia's wrist, and the cat's head relied on it. The hair on the whole body became hard and short where it was burned by the fire, and it was no longer soft and smooth.

Li Jia just felt very sad.

If she hadn't taken the cat out, the orange kitty wouldn't have been so frightened. Now that she is sticky and cute, he is afraid to leave her side again.

This is what is called the "abandoned cat effect" on the Internet.

"Zhong Ye" mistakenly thought that she left it at the hotel reception because she didn't want it anymore, and encountered explosions and flames in the hotel, and after escaping from the dead, she became more obedient and clingy after returning to her side, for fear that she would be abandoned again .

"Don't be afraid, my sister will never leave you casually next time." Li Jia pursed her lips, sad and blamed herself.

The orange cat cub tilted his head. Although he didn't understand why Li Jia said that suddenly, he didn't think too much about it.

I just leaned happily to the past, meowing in a soft voice.

Edogawa Conan was dumbfounded, is this guy really Chuya Nakahara he has seen before?

Doesn't this look right anyway?It looks exactly like a cat, without any human shame!

No need to apologize to this guy, he didn't stay at the hotel reception obediently!

Edogawa Conan now understood that the person in the elevator who helped them open the elevator door with his bare hands was Chuya Nakahara who followed secretly. In order not to let people find that there were suddenly more people in the elevator, he opened the door and hid secretly.

If it hadn't been for Zhongyuan Zhongya grabbing him out immediately after the bomb detonated and asking Li Jia's location, he wouldn't have thought deeply about it.

"Conan-kun, do you know where Chuya has gone?" Li Jia hugged the orange kitten and played with it for a while, then remembered to ask Edogawa Conan about it.

After being rescued yesterday, she only had time to say a few words to Nakahara Nakaya. The fatigue and drowsiness in her body overwhelmed her and she fell asleep again. Seeing that Edogawa Conan and "Chuya" were safe , I didn't even need to be hospitalized, so I was relieved.

But the person who came to the hospital today was not Chuya Zhongyuan, obviously he also boarded the ambulance to the hospital yesterday.

Conan Edogawa reflexively said, "Isn't Chuna right there?"

Li Jia laughed, and explained in a gentle and soft voice: "I'm asking Chuya, who saved me yesterday. Didn't Conan-kun come to the hospital with Chuya yesterday?"

He frowned, and looked at the orange kitten who was nestling in Li Jia's arms and licking the cat's paws.

No matter which "Zhongye" it is, it is now in Li Jia's arms and has never left.

...Of course, you can't say that to her directly.

Edogawa Conan laughed and said, "Maybe he left suddenly for something."

Obviously cats and people have been here all the time, but he couldn't tell Li Jia the truth.

I don't know why I always feel such a scene has a subtle sense of familiarity, just like he is hiding his identity as Shinichi in front of Lan.

Last time, he was almost exposed to Kudo Shinichi's real identity, and he could only say that he barely dispelled Lan's suspicion and temporarily calmed her down, so that he no longer casually doubted his identity.

But as time went on, he was very worried that he would be recognized by Lan before he fully recovered.

"Have you left again?" Li Jia sighed softly, and said softly with some loss: "It seems that we haven't sat down and talked properly."

Zhong Yuanzhong also always comes and goes in a hurry, appearing in front of her like a hero, saving her and leaving in a hurry.

If she hadn't taken the initiative to ask his name, maybe he wouldn't even tell her his name.

"Again? Has Li Jia met Chuya before?" Edogawa Conan hurriedly asked, he thought it was the first time they met.

It's just that Zhongya Zhongya likes his sister, so he silently jumps out to protect her in danger, and even gets angry at his reckless and rash actions.

Wasn't it the first time they met?

"We met once in Dorobiga Paradise, and then met again on the street." Li Jia said vaguely.

She didn't intend to explain the matter too clearly. If it was mentioned that Zhongyuan Zhongya had saved her, it would inevitably mention the mafia encountered in Dorobiga Paradise.

With the degree of familiarity between Conan-kun and his brother, if he accidentally leaked his words, his brother would be worried again.

"But..." She touched the cat in her arms, and said hesitantly, "The last two times are different from the one I met this time?"

The boy who rescued her from the fire was slightly taller, and his attitude towards her and tone of voice were slightly different.

"I feel that the Chuya I met this time will be more honest with me." Her tone was a little uncertain.

But it's not completely different. The Central Plains she saw three times have more similarities than differences.

It feels like Zhong Yuanzhong, whom he met for the third time, is more familiar with her, and his attitude is slowly changing.

The tone of speech is natural and skillful, which is different from the stiff look of the previous two times.

"It feels more frank?" Edogawa Conan repeated her words in doubt.

He couldn't help but secretly glanced at the orange cat cub with his eye sockets in Li Jia's arms, wagging his tail slowly. His eyes were half-closed and he was about to fall asleep, but his ears were pricked up, listening intently to what they said.

The little boy couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, why didn't he realize that the cat at home was so thoughtful before.

"Maybe it's a different person?" Li Jia lowered her eyes and chuckled, Zhong Yuan Zhong who met in the fire scene didn't want her to confuse him with Zhong Yuan Zhong who she met in the amusement park before.

Edogawa Conan couldn't help but stared at the orange cat boy with suspicious eyes.

No, compared to the possibility of another person appearing, it is better to guess that it is all the means of this scheming cat.

"Didn't Conan-kun leave school with Ayumi-chan and the others today?" Li Jia asked with a smile, bending her eyebrows and turning the topic.

The young detective team composed of Conan-kun, Ayumi-chan, Genta-kun, and Mitsuhiko-kun has solved several cases and been published in newspapers. In Li Jia's view, this is the proof of their good relationship.

"Ayumi-chan is going to piano lessons today, and Mitsuhiko and Genta have other things at home." He hadn't left school alone for a long time, and it was a rare time for him to relax and not need to pretend.

Li Jia didn't want to get hurt and let the Kudou couple know, even Dr. Ali didn't tell, so naturally Mao Lilan didn't know.

She didn't inhale much smoke, and she can be discharged normally after a few days of rest.

"I'm sorry to trouble Conan-kun to help me feed the Chuya cats," Li Jia smiled shyly, and said softly, "How are those children these days?"

If Conan Edogawa hadn't helped her cover up, it would have been difficult to hide her hospitalization from the people around her.

After all, even if Dr. Ali doesn't pay attention to the situation outside, Li Jia still feels strange if he hasn't come out for a few days.

"I can eat and drink, I'm running outside every day." Edogawa Conan said with a subtle expression.

Ever since he discovered that "Zhongye" can turn into a human, he went back to feed the cats these few days, and all the cats in Zhongye felt that they were a little too smart and humane.

But how is it possible that turning a person into a cat is not enough?The remaining three should be real cats, but Nakahara Chuya got in among them when he accidentally turned into a kitten.

He thought so in his heart, and tried to tell himself not to look at the other Zhongye cats in the family with strange eyes.

But it's really hard to see them separately in a short period of time.

If it weren't for "Brother Zhongye" and "Mr. Zhongye" who were so frightened by him and arched their bodies to hide from him, he would have wanted to pick up the cat and study it.

As for the calmest "Mr. Chuya" in the family, he had absolutely no intention of messing with it.

It looked like a cat that would lift its legs and throw him off the ground before he could pick it up.

"It's fine," Li Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, Mr. Jia Chuan was also in the hotel that day, so I don't know if he left the hotel safely."

He didn't seem to want to greet her in a crowded situation, and Li Jia also knew how to pretend that he didn't know him.

Although she still has doubts about Kagawa Jingshu's identity, human life is precious regardless of high or low. She does not want Jiachuan Jingshu to die accidentally in the sea of ​​fire.

"Mr. Kagawa?" Edogawa Conan asked suspiciously, "Who is that?"

Isn't Lijia a two-point line between home and school?Why did he meet so many people he didn't even know?

Forget about Zhongyuanzhong, his real identity is Li Jia's cat, and he will never hurt her.

Who is Ke Jiachuan Jingshu?With Elijah's character, how could he take the initiative to mention someone?

"Mr. Jia Chuan took the same elevator with us that day. His eyes are shaped like a cat's blue, and his face has some stubble..." Li Jia casually took the pen and paper and began to draw his appearance.

"Mr. Jia Chuan helped me find the missing bag, which contained a mobile phone and pocket money." She lowered her eyes slightly, and with a few strokes, she captured Jia Chuan Jingshu's expression.

Matching the slightly formal black suit he was wearing that day, he had a gentle demeanor, and he didn't look like a bad guy.

Edogawa Conan pinched the portrait, his heart sinking uncontrollably.

This person met Li Jia exactly one week after he became younger. Could it be that he didn't see the death report of Kudo Shinichi who deliberately approached Li Jia to inquire about him?

Picking up a lost bag as a means of getting acquainted is simple and easy to win people's favor.

It's not surprising that people from the Black Organization would do this.

"Ah, by the way, Mr. Kagawa gave me this back that day." Li Jia took out the note from the pocket of the coat hanging aside, pinched it into a ball of crumpled paper and unfolded it with countless creases.

"Let's go, leave the hotel." He read out the contents of the note in a low voice, his heart was almost filled with confusion.

Scotland is obviously a member of the Black Organization, why should Li Jia be reminded to leave the hotel as soon as possible?

If Gin didn't let his companions know about the bomb he dropped in the hotel, one can guess it just by looking at the shocked expressions of Pisk and Scotland at that time.

But reminding Li Jia is not good for the people in the black organization, and it is easy for him to be misunderstood by Gin.

Why did he take such a big risk to leave a note to remind Li Jia?

"Mr. Kagawa and Zhongya actually told me to leave early that day," Li Jia pursed her lips, pulled her hair and said in a low voice, "But I didn't listen to them, and ended up with an explosion and a fire."

It almost caused Conan-kun and the cat "Chuya" to die in the flames, and even rushed in to save her...

Although Zhong Yuanzhong has been blaming himself for not protecting her enough, Ke Lijia knows that no one can be blamed for this matter, and she should be blamed for not listening to advice.

"I'm sorry Conan-kun, I'm sorry Chuya." Li Jia hugged the orange kitten and apologized in a low voice: "I made you worry."

"Mi?" The orange cat raised his head and rubbed against her face, caring and obedient: "Mimi, Mimimi."

The rough cat's tongue licked Li Jia's face, causing bursts of itching that almost made her unable to hold back her expression: "Don't lick it, my sister is talking about something very serious."

I want to stop it, but I can't say it.

Edogawa Conan sighed deeply, at least Nakahara became a cat instead of shrinking like him.

At least cats are much safer than people?
