When Conan returned to the Maori Detective Agency from the doctor's house, the sound coming from the door was not the hysterical sound that the sloppy uncle would make when watching a horse race in the past.

The girls chatted and laughed, besides Mao Lilan's voice, there was also a very transparent and gentle voice.

The voice sounded familiar, but Conan couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Pushing open the door, Conan deliberately raised his voice to attract attention: "I'm back!"

"Conan, you're back."

Mori Kogoro was not at home, and Mao Lilan, who was sitting on the sofa, greeted him cordially.

As usual, Conan smiled childishly like an ordinary child and nodded in response. Then, he turned his attention to the girl who was also sitting opposite Mao Lilan on the sofa.

The smooth black hair is long to the waist, and at first glance it looks somewhat similar to Mao Lilan.The facial features are very soft, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as graceful as water.

The girl looked familiar, and Conan thought he had seen it before, but he couldn't remember the name.

"Hi sister, I'm Edogawa Conan."

He went up to the girl and introduced himself obediently, and the girl smiled at him.Immediately, the girl stood up from the sofa and bowed slightly in a very formal manner, "Hello, I am Izumi Hiratsuka, and I am a junior high school classmate with your sister."

"Quanjiang, this kid is not my younger brother, he just lives in my house temporarily." Mao Lilan explained this to others for the first time.

"Is that so? I'm sorry I don't know, I just said Lan, when did you have such a big brother..."

Izumi Hiratsuka's self-introduction allowed Conan to find out all the information related to girls from his memory.

He and Mori Rancho did have such a classmate named Izumi Hiratsuka when they were in junior high school. Of course, he was still Kudo Shinichi at that time, and it is only natural that Izumi Hiratsuka didn't know himself now.

And Conan's memory of Izumi Hiratsuka ended when he graduated from junior high school two years ago.The only thing that left a deep impression on me was Izumi Hiratsuka at that time, with her neat short hair, and she was a member of the cheerleading team of the football club.

Even if you didn't go directly to Tedan High School from junior high school, it's very common, but Hiratsuka Izumi seems to have disappeared from the world, and I don't know from the day after graduation, no one can contact her anymore, it seems that there has never been such a thing. People have existed.

Even at that time, Conan had more contacts with Izumi Hiratsuka because of the club, but he gradually forgot about her because of the disconnection.

Seeing his old classmate again after two years, Conan couldn't help softening his expression, no matter what he said, he would feel a bit of unspeakable relief.Conan can also see that Mao Lilan showed more surprise and joy than usual when he saw Hiratsuka Izumi again.

"I haven't seen Sister Quan come here before. Is Sister Quan specially here to visit Sister Lan?" Conan asked casually.

"If you ask me like that, I will feel very guilty. In fact, seeing Lan is just a matter of chance." Hiratsuka lowered his eyelids, and his translucent eyes showed a bit of apology. Uncle Kogoro, it turned out to be such a coincidence that Uncle is not here today."

"Oh, you don't need to guess and you know that Uncle Mao Li is going to watch the horse race." Conan pointed out without any tact. As a child at this time, of course Tong Yan Wuji's advantages should be fully utilized.

Mao Lilan could only wave her hands helplessly, "I'm really sorry, Quanjiang, Dad... In short, I'm sorry."

Conan wants to ask Hiratsuka where he has been for the past two years, but he is not Kudo Shinichi now, so he cannot ask some greetings as an old classmate.He didn't know if Mao Lilan had asked before he came back, but now, as Conan, it's not easy for him to speak like that.

This is the first time Conan has seriously inquired about Izumi Hiratsuka, albeit in a scrutinizing manner.

There is no doubt that girls are good-looking. This is something that any boy in the football team knows. After all, Izumi Hiratsuka is the top football baby, so how can he convince the public without any good looks.

But Conan always felt that the Hiratsuka Izumi in front of him was weird, it was just a feeling.If you look into the details, you can't find fault with Izumi Hiratsuka at all.

With a gentle aura and decent manners, he is as perfect as a puppet that has been programmed with instructions.

The impression of Izumi Hiratsuka is not like this, if so, then it can only be explained by the blank two years.It's just that Hiratsuka Izumi's change in the past two years is a qualitative change.

How can I say that Izumi Hiratsuka was a classmate for three years, but Conan still tried to let his guard down.But the inexplicable uneasiness is still reminding Conan not to have too much contact with Izumi Hiratsuka.

Such suspicion comes from the instinct of a detective, but to take a step back, there is a very critical question that Conan cannot ignore-why a person who has been "missing" for two years suddenly came to Mouri Kogoro.

"Eh? Sister Izumi entrusts Uncle Mori with something?"

Izumi Hiratsuka paused for a moment, and glanced at Mao Lilan, as if asking for advice, probably because of Conan's age, he didn't say it directly.

"Izumi-chan, it doesn't matter if you talk to Conan, Conan usually helps dad a lot."

"Ah, is that so? I'm still worried that the child is too young to listen to these things."

"Sister Quan, don't underestimate me, I'm a member of the Detective Boys!"

In fact, Conan was helpless when he said this sentence. He was very speechless when he was dragged by the group of little devils to join him. He didn't expect to be able to use it at this time.

"Yeah, that sounds great."

Izumi Hiratsuka patted Conan's head, smiling softly like a sister next door.

Then, she took a deep breath, as if to organize her thoughts.Immediately, he suppressed his smile and began to narrate seriously: "I feel that I have been followed by someone recently, and I dare not go out for a few nights. But it has become worse recently, and I think that person will monitor me outside my house at night... ..."

As Hiratsuka Izumi spoke, his voice gradually weakened, as if he was afraid because he remembered something.

"Sister Quan won't call the police?"

"I reported it, and even troubled the nearby policeman to help me look at it at night, but nothing happened for a few days. Then I said that I was being stalked by a stalker, but no one believed it. That's why I wanted to come to the detective agency to entrust .”

"Where is Sister Quan's home?"

"Now I'm in Kuwado, I live alone, I'm a little scared, so..."

Seeing that Hiratsuka Izumi's face was not very good, Mao Lilan quickly interrupted the routine questioning of the little devil's head, "Okay, Conan, let's talk about this matter when Dad comes back. Izumi-chan probably doesn't want to mention it..."

Kubado is obviously far away from the Mori Detective Agency, so why do you have to come here to entrust it?But from a more emotional point of view, maybe Izumi Hiratsuka really just wanted to see Mao Lilan?

Conan still couldn't stop analyzing from a skeptical perspective, until Hiratsuka Izumi's clear voice interrupted his train of thought.

"By the way, why didn't you see Kudo-kun?"

Mao Lilan was taken aback, and instinctively showed a bit of embarrassment, "Why, why did Quan Jiang ask him suddenly."

"I originally wanted to ask Kudo-kun, but in fact, I stopped by Kudo-kun's house before coming here, but Kudo-kun was not there, and I felt that there was no one at home for a long time, and there was dust on the iron gate."

It seems that because the speech was not to tease the ambiguous relationship between Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi, Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief.But when it comes to that person, her expression becomes more or less gentle and full of girlish feelings.

"That reasoning maniac, he was so busy with the case that he didn't go home, and the school was temporarily suspended." There was sweetness in the complaint.

"That's it, that's really Kudo-kun's style. Has he been like this for a long time? It can't be from the time he graduated from junior high school..."

"No, I was told some time ago that I was involved in a difficult case. However, this has never been the case before."

"I see."

"Okay, okay, don't mention me and Shinichi again, what about Izumi-chan? Where have you been for the two years since Izumi-chan graduated? I haven't been in touch with Izumi-chan all this time, and Izumi-chan changed her number after graduation, right? , Did you call the previous number, but it became an empty number. Did you go to another city halfway?"

The conversation between the girls finally brought up Conan's concerns - during the two years of blankness, he, who was sitting absent-mindedly playing game consoles, inevitably raised his ears and paid attention to the conversation between the two girls.

Izumi Hiratsuka was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled forcedly, "Actually, I have been staying in Tokyo all this time, and something happened at home before...well, it's not a big deal, I'm living well now not bad!"

Did not answer the question directly.

Of course, the gentle and kind Mao Lilan would not target Hiratsuka Izumi's words like cards.Hearing that Izumi Hiratsuka said that he was fine and that he was doing well, Mao Lilan stopped asking any more questions.

After the two girls chatted for a while, Izumi Hiratsuka said he wanted to leave.

"Do you want Quanjiang to wait for my father to come back and have dinner together before leaving?"

"No, I'm afraid it's too late to go back. Recently, I'm afraid when it gets dark."

"Then let Dad take you back."

"Then I'll be embarrassed to trouble uncle, how about this, if you are free on weekends, where should we go for a date?"

"Ah, that's fine too, be careful on the road with Quanjiang!"

Conan has been observing Izumi Hiratsuka's words and deeds, so normal that maybe he really thinks too much.Just when he was about to let go of his guard against him, Izumi Hiratsuka suddenly looked back at the eyes he hadn't had time to look away, for a very short moment when he left the office and closed the door.

Her eyes were cold, as if the gentleness and charmingness she had faced with Mao Lilan before were all false illusions.

The author has something to say: It’s been a long time since I’ve written Conan Man, this time it’s Shinichi… right?

Well……
