Bandage fine tricks

"And there is another problem." Kudo Shinichi touched the fabric of the red coat and said, "This kind of fabric doesn't look like it can stand up ears."

In Officer Takagi's memory, what impressed him the most was that the pair of ears on the hood of the coat stood up very vigorously.

"This can be solved by inner bracing, right?" Xiao Ba's eyes fell on the red coat, and his mind didn't know where he went, and he said, "It's like the big skirt in the middle ages. The inside is all supported by the whalebone inside to support such a large skirt, otherwise it would have collapsed."

"That's right... um, Xiaoba?" Kudo Shinichi turned his head and found that the eyes of the girl with different pupils seemed to be wandering, as if he was lost in thought, "Did you think of anything?"

He suspected that Xiao Ba had thought of some details and clues that he hadn't noticed.

By the way, speaking of this brand...

Kudo Shinichi recalled it, and vaguely dug out a little bit from his memory. It seems that Xiaoba also likes this brand of clothes very much. He seems to have seen Xiaoba wear similar clothes with the brand name on the inconspicuous place several times. dress.

A petite head of more than 1 meters.

Kudo Shinichi looked down at the girl beside him, um...

But red hair is not right.

And Xiao Ba knows Officer Takagi, and Officer Takagi also knows Xiao Ha!

Unless... Kudo Shinichi thought for a while and said, "Xiao Hachi, let's go back to the hospital first, and then check with Officer Takagi and Officer Date to see if there are any other clues at that time."

Xiao Ba retracted the scattered thoughts, nodded in response: "Okay."

The two turned around and walked out.

"By the way, Hachi, you should be quite familiar with that brand, right?" Kudo Shinichi pretended to ask casually, "Just looking at the general style, I think it is that brand."

Xiao Ba didn't think too much: "Well, I have a coat that looks very similar to the portrait painted by Officer Takagi. I thought it was from the same series, but now it seems that I may have made a mistake."

Kudo Shinichi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "Are the ears of animals exactly the same?"

"That's right, I only knew about this brand after that piece of clothing. So I often visited this store when I bought clothes later on, but now it seems that the coat may not be from this store." Xiaoba now The mood is a bit complicated.

That feeling was that she thought she had found Bai Yueguang, but in fact she found a substitute, and she didn't know where her real Bai Yueguang was.

And according to what the clerk said just now, maybe the jacket she likes a lot is the style of this brand copied by some merchants... Feeling more and more complicated!

"It's not from this store?" Kudo Shinichi grabbed the gap, "Don't tell me you didn't buy that coat yourself?"

According to Xiaoba's independent personality, at her age, her mother shouldn't have arranged clothes for her and saluted her.

"Well, Mr. Dazai bought that coat for me because of an accident." Xiao Ba said.

It was also the coat that Mr. Dazai went out to buy for her during the hot spring incident, in order to cover her cat ears that suddenly went online and even [Disqualification in the World] was helpless.

Because there are two cute cat ears on the hood of the coat, and it is just enough to put her ears in, so Xiaoba likes it very much. After the incident, she dug out the brand name from the coat, and on the weekend I found this store by following the brand name.

However, a few months later, after Xiaoba had happily purchased a lot of clothes she wanted in this store, she was suddenly told that the white moonlight she liked was not actually from this store.

What a bloody misunderstanding plot!

And she still doesn't know which store her coat really belongs to...

Eh, wait, Mr. Dazai?

...That's right, why is she struggling with the question of whether to substitute or not?

Wouldn't it be better to just ask Mr. Dazai where he bought the clothes in the first place?

It also saves her from looking back.

Here Xiaoba is still thinking about how to ask Mr. Dazai this question later, on the other side, Kudo Shinichi lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked seriously: "Xiaoba, do you still remember what clothes you wore at Christmas?" ?"

"Just the coat I just mentioned!" Xiao Ba replied without thinking.

That dress was designed to be worn in winter!

"I seem to seldom see Xiaoba wearing red clothes."

"Because it's too eye-catching, I don't like the feeling of being noticed." Xiao Ba said.

Both parents agree that she is the prettiest in red, but...

Red cats are too easy to spot.

How could an abyss cat like Xiao Ba who loves to blend himself into the darkness be willing to expose himself to the sun?

"Is it because you wear red at Christmas to match the festival?" Kudo Shinichi seemed to be talking casually.

"The main reason is that the cat dyed my hair red that day. It turned red anyway, so I'll wear a red dress!" Xiao Ba was a little depressed when she mentioned this, she was just in a daze at the time, Unexpectedly, it was succeeded by the cat.

But she also took revenge on the spot: she dyed the cat, Xiaobai, and Xiaohei all red—to be red together.

Hey, why did you suddenly ask me about Christmas?

Xiaoba was puzzled for a moment, and quickly realized why Kudo Shinichi asked: "You suspect it's me? But isn't it right?" Xiaoba began to wrestle his hands and count differently, "Although the style is very similar, my coat is red. , What Police Officer Takagi saw was orange, including the hair—the most important thing is, I am not a healing power user, you know my ability."

Although Maomao has many abilities, there is no healing ability among them. This is why Xiaoba immediately ruled out himself when he heard Kudo Shinichi mention this matter: he has no healing ability at all, and what he met was a healing ability. , so that person must not be her!

"And Officer Takagi is also there, there's no way I don't recognize Officer Takagi."

"I have observed the lights near the traffic accident on that street. They are not common white banner lights. They emit orange lights. When they hit red objects, it is easy to be mistaken for orange." Kudo Shinichi said For the reason he was staring at people's lights, "—and, on Christmas Day, did you pass that street?"

This time Xiaoba was silent for a moment, then nodded unwillingly: "...it's the most convenient way to go home by walking that street!"

"Then do you still remember that you saved someone on the way?"

This time, Xiaoba was silent for a longer time, and it took her a long time to say hesitantly: "...it was raining that day, and I was in a hurry to go home. It seemed that I heard someone calling for help, but I just went to help He transferred serious injuries from internal organs to extremities, and I have no ability to heal."

Kudo Shinichi: "...Forget about Officer Date, but you didn't even recognize Officer Takagi?"

Xiao Ba silently turned his head away: "...the cat kept making trouble with me when I went out that morning, but I didn't wear the contact lens properly. I exercised strenuously on the way home, and the contact lens got stuck on the eye. It was very uncomfortable and I couldn't open my eyes. I just ran back with my eyes closed..."

As for the familiar smell that should be able to be distinguished... Due to the heavy rain that day, and her cold caused by a slight temperature difference, her nose was stuffed, so she also didn't smell Officer Takagi's breath...

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

The high school student detective did not hesitate to give the little girl in front of him a chestnut with no remorse: "Run home with your eyes closed? It's a shame you figured it out! What if you hit a car?!"

"My ears are so good! It's easy to listen to voices and judge positions!" Xiaoba said as if thinking of something, "...Ah, I just said that the voice calling for help is a bit familiar, it turned out to be Police Officer Takagi! "

You only realized it later!

Kudo Shinichi was speechless to this girl: after searching for a long time, she turned out to be by his side!

"Go to the hospital together? Officer Date and Officer Takagi want to thank you very much." Kudo Shin pair is completely out of touch with a guy who has no memory of saving people.

"Alright, I'll go and see too. I didn't even see what kind of person I was saving." Xiao Ba nodded.

Shinichi Kudo sighed, took out his phone helplessly, and sent a text message to Police Officer Takagi, saying that he had found the person who rescued Datehang at that time, and he happened to know that person too.

And Xiaoba, who is also a patient with severe cell phone dependence, also took out the cell phone, but the person she texted was Mr. Dazai: Mr. Dazai, remember the red coat with cat ears you bought for me, where is it? store bought?

After a while, the reply from Osamu Dazai came. It was a shop address plus a sentence: Does Hachi like it?If you like it, you can use my membership card to buy it, it's in the third mezzanine of the wallet.

?

It was too late to wonder why the address where Mr. Dazai bought clothes was the address of the store she and Kudo Shinichi had just gone to, and Xiao Hachi, whose attention was attracted by another point, slowly raised a question mark above his head.

Mr. Dazai's membership card and wallet... Didn't she return it to him?

Thinking of something, Xiaoba hurriedly opened her backpack: Due to the need to carry a lot of things when going out, Xiaoba used to use a backpack. Due to its large capacity, she often could not find out what was in her bag in time.

For example, a men's wallet that she just dug out from the bottom of the bag.

It looks very familiar, especially Mr. Dazai's wallet that almost followed the footsteps of his predecessors and died in his river rafting hobby.

The "like" can be removed—Hachi, who found Mr. Dazai's driver's license in his wallet, came to a conclusion.

Holding the men's wallet, Xiao Ba tried hard to remember how it got into his bag: Mr. Dazai, although sometimes he didn't have a proper distance, at least he wouldn't touch her bag, and if anyone touched her backpack If so, she must be able to smell it.

In other words, she could only be the one who stuffed this bag into her backpack, but... when did she stuff it in?

After thinking and thinking, Xiaoba finally remembered: it happened during the hot spring incident.

At that time, Mr. Dazai did take out the cards in his wallet in order to buy her a coat that can cover the cat ears, but after that, when the two of them checked out and left the hot spring hotel, Mr. Dazai thought he had other things on hand. To take it, because the wallet in the pocket of the windbreaker didn't look good, he stuffed his wallet into his bag.

Then, when it was time to part, he forgot to take the bag back.

Forgetting here requires a question mark.

...Wait a minute, since Mr. Dazai has his wallet with him, then he wasted money on eating, drinking and buying bandages during this time...

Xiao Ba shook his hands, tentatively contacted Mr. Kunikida, and made a side note, and found out that his supplementary teacher had unknowingly paid for his partner's expenses...

Alas, why did I add "again"?

Sighing, Xiao Ba silently revised his afternoon itinerary:

Let’s go to Yokohama, send Mr. Dazai’s wallet back, watch the work of the detective agency by the way, and accumulate materials for the new book on the theme of reasoning—yes, after hesitating for a long time, the final title of the book is still set as Agent - really, don't leave things with her every time!

Can Dazai-san get rid of his forgetfulness...
