The thief girl wants to buy a home in Rice Flower

"Tell me, who is the father of the child?"

So... where's Shirley?

What about my - such a big Shirley?

I met the policeman downstairs who was moving the console, and asked them a question, but none of them had seen a girl with brown hair, no matter if she was eight years old.

There seemed to be a shootout just now, it sounds like it was quite intense, hope no one got hurt.

And...it's great that Gin isn't here, the people who stay here as guards are not too crazy, and the quality of the police sent by Bourbon is not bad.

In short, everything went smoothly. When I left the rooftop, the work below was already in the final stage. The sender who should be escorted, the host who should be sent to the host, was perfect except that Shirley could not be found.

I squatted on the roof of the apartment building where I used to transform, holding the lollipop I took out of Shirley's room in my mouth, watching the police cars drive away one after another from a distance, leaving only an empty research institute , standing bleakly in the night.

"Jing Guang, ask them to confirm that no one escaped today? Among the people caught, there are no young girls aged seventeen or eighteen?"

The winery didn't send anyone, probably because they knew it was too late, and people who came would just fold in.

... Then won't my notice letter be sent in vain?

It doesn't matter, as long as you can get angry with gin.

"I'll check again."

"Then please, are you coming back tonight?"

"I'm already at home." There was a smile in his voice, "Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No need, I drove out," I shuddered as I spoke, "Don't try to take this opportunity to arrest me! I won't admit it if I don't catch it!"

"Do you think I am such a person?"

"Who made you say that before... Ah, it seems to be raining."

I touched the raindrops on my cheeks, covered my forehead with one hand, and stood up.

"Let's not talk, since you are at home, do you have time to help me make supper? I have to look for Shirley along the way. She disappeared from the research institute and went to nowhere. I suspect that she is in the same situation as Kudo, After all, she was the one who researched the medicine, if she had escaped by shrinking before we went, she would probably be wandering the streets in adult clothes now, looking for a place to stay."

"Are you going to keep it a secret from us?"

"Huh? Ah... keep it a secret, Mingmei will appease her first, and wait until Shirley's situation is confirmed." As I spoke, I scratched my hair angrily, "In case Shirley was taken away by Gin, That would be troublesome."

"I understand." He instructed, "You also come back as soon as possible, it's too late, be careful."

"Who do you think I am? I'm a professional criminal backed by the police—hey, don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh if you tell me... Really..."

Although he laughed very nicely, but...Damn it!It's really nice!

When I got back to the car parked two blocks away, I was already drenched in a lot of rain. I changed my clothes and wiped my hair casually in the car. I thought about Shirley’s possible whereabouts and studied the map carefully.

In the end, nothing came out.

Whether she is eight years old or now, she simply has nowhere to go.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, I looked at the map and hesitated for a while, until Jing Guang sent an email urging me to go home, I decided to give up the search and go home first.

After a while, Matsuda called suddenly. I parked the car on the side of the road to answer the call, but Jing Guang's voice came through the receiver.

"Mikan, how long will it take for you to come back?"

"It's almost here, it should be within 5 minutes, what's wrong?"

"Just now I found a girl lying in front of Kudou's house from the surveillance, Matsuda brought her back, and haven't called the police yet." Then, he lowered his voice, "It's a little girl with brown hair, wearing adult clothes and a white coat. "

I was short of breath: "Is it Shirley?"

"Not yet sure, she is in a coma."

"Understood, I'll go back now." I restarted the car and quickly drove into the rain.

Hmm... Shirley who turned into a little girl.

It's cute just thinking about it.

If I press her into my arms and knead her, the two men at home shouldn't think I'm a pervert, right?

·

so cute.

Six or seven-year-old Shirley is so cute.

My health bar is almost empty.

"Hey, Zhenping." I squatted next to the sofa where the girl was sleeping, and looked at Matsuda standing aside with her hands folded, "Let's adopt her!"

"Adopt, adopt?"

"Hmm! Can Jing Guang ask the police to help her prepare for her new identity and adoption procedures? It's also fine to set her as a biological daughter. The age is just right, so let's take the surname Songtian with me."

Jing Guang who was sitting opposite smiled slightly: "Yes."

"Hey! Hiro, are you thinking of setting yourself as the father of the child? She is the daughter of me and Mei Li, so don't try to join our family without authorization."

"You have not submitted a marriage application, and "Matsuda Meili" has not yet been naturalized. "

"But she asked me first!"

"But I'm the one who can help her through the adoption process."

The corners of my mouth twitched, facing the brown-haired girl's slowly opening eyes, I didn't know what to say for a moment.

In fact, we are all decent people?Said that I did not step on two boats?

Matsuda, who didn't notice that the girl had woken up, looked at me. It was like an elementary school student trying to figure out who is your best little sister. His tone was a little nervous and proud: "Merry, what do you mean?" , who is the father of the child?"

I grabbed a handful of hair speechlessly: "Is it okay to be Zero? Or Akai? I think Akai is pretty good, but he doesn't know anyway, so I assume that he is my ex-husband, and he has always brought up the children. This time he I was going to remarry, so I came to Japan and returned the child to me."

Matsuda didn't know who Akai was, but he should be able to guess Ley's original name from the people I mentioned, so he immediately turned black.Jing Guang also had a rather dissatisfied expression, which made me feel guilty for a while.

Hey, I'm not guilty. This is a false identity. It should be Ley who is not present who should raise objections.

At this moment, the girl with brown hair said coldly: "Don't you consider asking my opinion?" After a pause, she asked again, "Who are you?"

"He's Kudo Shinichi's kind neighbor." I pointed to Matsuda next to me, "He's a policeman," and then pointed to Jing Guang, "He's also a policeman."

Shirley hadn't seen Scotland before, and it was normal not to react to him.But she didn't respond to me either, because it was assumed that someone who looks alike might exist, or did we just get the wrong person?

The girl sat up and looked up at me: "What about you?"

...It seems that there is no reaction. I can see the emotions flashing in her pupils. She feels excited and unbelievable when she looks at me. She just suppresses these ordinary and normal emotions and pretends to be a face to me. Little girl who knows nothing.

"I'm just an ordinary little boss. I'm currently learning how to be a detective. I'm the chief disciple of the sleeping detective Kogoro, but my ability is far from enough." I reached out and touched her head, showing a gentle smile. Smiling, "Is there anything uncomfortable? You have been exposed to a lot of rain before, and there are no children's clothes at home. Take my shirt for emergency."

The girl shook her head: "I'm fine, thank you."

Jing Guang went to bring the supper that he had prepared earlier, and he cooked hot and soft chicken soup, which healed the body and mind with one bite.I sat next to the girl and watched her eat with anticipation after she stuffed a spoonful into her mouth and started eating with a bowl.

Eating such a delicious bowl of rice after the rain is really super invincible happiness!

"Speaking of which, you fell at the door of Kudou's house, did you need him for something? He hasn't come back for a while, so if you encounter any trouble, you can tell us, Jinping, show her your ID. "

The girl shook her head: "It's okay, I will leave soon."

"Where else can you go?"

She froze for a moment, then looked at me blankly, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Although it's late, it's better to explain clearly now." I tilted my head and decided to get to the point after filling my stomach, "Jing Guang, is it okay for me to lead the conversation?"

He smiled: "Of course."

"Do I need to avoid it?" Matsuda asked.

Matsuda heard Jingguang and I chatted with Kudo Shinichi before, although he didn’t tell him the specific situation, but with his IQ, he can easily infer the previous relationship between Edogawa Conan and Kudo Shinichi, and he should be able to guess the situation before him. Girls are not ordinary.

"I don't think so." I replied, "It doesn't matter how much you know, since you picked me up on the day of the bombing, you and I are already a community of destiny."

A lot of information has been revealed in our conversation, the girl with brown hair is still looking at me with her small face up, but her expression gradually changed.

"Are you really..."

I raised the corners of my lips, and asked in an exaggerated tone: "It's really ruthless, how long have I been dead, have you already forgotten my face?"

She bit her lip, and finally called out my name tentatively: "Melo? But you clearly—"

"I don't want to hide it from you, but the less people who know about fraudulent death, the better, for the sake of each other's safety. What I said just now is also true. Both of them are policemen. I am now a partner of justice. And the question you are most concerned about, Mingmei is still alive, but she can't see you for the time being."

As if a certain switch had been touched, the brown-haired girl who had been trying to maintain her composure suddenly had wet eyes.I hugged her into my arms, patted her back comfortingly, and asked Jing Guang whether to continue or rest first with my eyes.

And my always gentle and caring public security contact naturally gave the answer not to stay up late: "Continue tomorrow, you are also very tired."

Although I didn't feel tired, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, but since he said so, I immediately took the girl in my arms, ran upstairs happily, and dragged her into the bathroom together.

Looking at it now, my bathroom seems to be quite big.

"Melo—"

"My current name is "Matsuda Meili", it's better to throw away the code name as soon as possible. "

"Matsuda... the policeman who asked you to die in love with the Ferris wheel?"

"Huh? Do you remember?"

The tea-haired girl who was as big as a little ghost nodded, smiled for the first time today, and teased relaxedly: "So, the final winner is Mr. Police Officer from Watch World?"

I looked down at the wedding ring on my ring finger and sighed faintly.

"Who knows..."?
