A Tribute to Sherlock Holmes[Comprehensive]

Perhaps Izumi Hiratsuka was really tired, the physical and mental exhaustion made her sleep soundly.Probably only in front of Kudo Shinichi, she dared to sleep so defenseless.

Kudo Shinichi sighed, he felt a little helpless for this girl who put all her weight on him.He called the girl's name a few times, and the only answer he got was breathing.

Originally, I had thought a lot of things to persuade Izumi Hiratsuka to stop being stubborn alone, but this is good, and while talking about not wanting to be the object of trouble, it really brought out a trouble that is not troublesome—— take care of.

Right now, Kudo Shinichi has no way to leave Hiratsuka Izumi alone.

Izumi Hiratsuka was very thin, and Shinichi Kudo could clearly feel the bonyness of the opponent's body.So, he easily picked up Izumi Hiratsuka and entered the house.

The atmosphere in this apartment still made Shinichi Kudo feel very uncomfortable, it was so deserted and numb, lifeless, as if standing at the junction of life and death.

Entering the only bedroom, putting Izumi Hiratsuka on the bed, and pulling her arms off his neck, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but gasped.

On Hiratsuka Izumi's slender and fair wrist, there were dozens of scars from cuts.The scabs from the healing wounds protruded ugly, and the girl's supposedly delicate skin became shocking.

There are still five scars of different shades barely counted on the right wrist. As for the left wrist, it is covered with layers and it is hard to tell how many scars have been scratched on it.

Just looking at such scars makes my scalp tingle.

Hiratsuka Izumi once wanted to commit suicide by cutting his wrists?

Kudo Shinichi frowned in confusion, he began to think about the three years when Hiratsuka Izumi was a classmate, and what kind of impression he had of Hiratsuka Izumi.

In my memory, Izumi Hiratsuka is a very cheerful girl, and then the iconic impression is that the girl used to have neat short hair and the title of football baby TOP.He couldn't think of anything more than that.

Thinking of this now, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but laugh.If Hiratsuka Izumi wasn't a member of the cheerleading team of the football club when he was in junior high school, maybe he really couldn't remember her at all, right?

This is not because Hiratsuka Izumi's sense of presence is too low, but because Kudo Shinichi only cares about two things, the first is the case, and the second is his childhood friend Mori Ran.Hiratsuka Izumi is not one of the two, so how can he be remembered?

Kudo Shinichi looked at the peacefully sleeping girl on the bed, and compared it with her in memory.The girl's change can be described as very different, except for the more beautiful face, it's like a completely different person.

Can two years really change a person completely?

If such a situation can be achieved, Kudo Shinichi is sure that what Hiratsuka Izumi experienced in the past two years of disappearance is far more serious than what she said lightly.

During the silence, the sound of the girl's breathing gradually became thicker. She seemed to have had a bad dream, her two fine eyebrows were tightly frowned, and she also appeared to be in some pain as if she was sick.

Kudo Shinichi reached out and touched Hiratsuka Izumi's forehead, he was relieved by the latter's normal body temperature.Kudo Shinichi was taken aback when he withdrew his hand, and he suddenly remembered the scene when he met Izumi Hiratsuka at the door of Dr. Ali's house during the day, and the latter also touched his forehead out of worry.

He shook his head trying to get rid of these messy thoughts, what was he thinking about... But the more he didn't think about it, the appearance of Hiratsuka Izumi appeared in his mind more and more clearly—it was Hiratsuka Quan's current appearance is the one with long black and soft hair.

Can't stare at that face anymore!

Kudo Shinichi shook his head and sat in the living room.After that, he planned to rest directly on the sofa.Before going to bed, he was still thinking about the case of Nanmu Sami.

Nanmu's body had no external injuries, and no cause of death could be seen.So far, Kudo Shinichi once again recalled the scene at that time.Coffee beans were scattered all over the floor, as if there had been a dispute.

Kudo Shinichi accidentally stepped on coffee beans when he entered the back kitchen, and a few beans got stuck in the gaps in the sole pattern.However, the soles of Kusuki Sami who was lying on the scene did not.Obviously, Phoebe fell to the ground before the coffee beans spilled.

And who is the mysterious man who escaped through the back door?

I remembered that Izumi Hiratsuka took him to hide for a short period of time, and this short period of time was just the best time for that person to escape.

From this point of view alone, Hiratsuka Izumi is very problematic.However, at the time of Kudo Sami's death speculation, the person who proved Hiratsuka Izumi's innocence was precisely Kudo Shinichi himself.

Are you an accomplice?

With such questions, Kudo Shinichi leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.

He slept very lightly at night, and when his consciousness was blurred, he seemed to see a black shadow in front of his eyes.This made him wake up in an instant, and he sat up from the sofa suddenly.

Something hit the top of the head, only the sound of bumping was heard, and after that, the girl gasped in pain.

"Hiratsuka!?"

Seeing the figure in front of him clearly, Kudo Shin couldn't stop shouting out the opponent's name.

The curtains of the living room were not drawn, and the faint light outside the window could just dimly reflect Hiratsuka Izumi's face.At this moment, she covered her nose with her hands and sat on the ground.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to."

Kudo Shinichi quickly helped Hiratsuka Izumi up and let her sit on the sofa.Then he turned on the light, and after the lighting was restored, he saw clearly that the girl's eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry.

Of course, it hurts to think about being hit by the forehead on the nose.

"Feel sorry……"

Kudo Shinichi apologized again, but he didn't know what to do in this situation.Just looking at Izumi Hiratsuka holding his nose and not speaking, he himself felt a little embarrassed.

"This time... why are you here?"

After she calmed down a bit, Izumi Hiratsuka said weakly: "Where can I be if I'm not here?" She moved her hand away, her nose turned red.

"No, I mean why did you come out of the bedroom."

"After waking up, I had insomnia. I was still wondering when I fell asleep on the bed, and then I realized that I seemed to have fallen asleep by accident, and I was still leaning against Kudo-kun... In short, I apologize for my previous faux pas!"

Saying that, Izumi Hiratsuka nodded, his gesture of apology was full of sincerity.In other words, her etiquette is formal and formal.

"Hiratsuka...you don't need to be so polite to me."

Izumi Hiratsuka nodded shyly, "Okay, then I will change it later."

After speaking, the two fell silent.In the dead silence, the breathing of the two people could hear each other clearly.

After a long time, Izumi Hiratsuka spoke with emotion, breaking the silence: "I, I thought it was Kudo-kun who sent me in, so after waking up, I took a chance and came out to see if Kudo-kun was still there. I didn't leave here. I don't know why, but I feel very happy."

Kudo Shinichi was stunned, he looked at the girl's lowered eyes, his clear eyes were full of embarrassment and shyness.Although, this Mr. Detective, who has almost no EQ, can't understand such a girl's feelings at all.

He didn't interrupt Hiratsuka Izumi, but quietly listened to what she said.The girl's transparent and clear voice in the middle of the night is like a healing radio broadcast, very comfortable to listen to.

"When I'm alone, I feel very scared. I only forget when I keep staring at the screen and typing codes. But something happened to Sister Zuomei, and I really dare not touch the keyboard anymore. Then, just sitting I feel very at ease by Kudo-kun's side."

After finishing speaking, Izumi Hiratsuka raised his head and bent towards Shinichi Kudo with an extremely gentle smile.

It's hard not to feel the girl's heart palpitations. Even Kudo Shinichi, although he doesn't understand what this feeling is, but only at this moment, he really feels the softness in his heart being touched.

But then, Izumi Hiratsuka's eyes darkened, and then he changed the topic, "Actually, Kudo-kun doesn't trust me, right?" There was a little grievance in her eyes, and the gentle smile revealed a little very sad.

Seeing this smile, Kudo Shinichi's chest tightened, and he softened his tone, "Hiratsuka, I didn't mean that."

Hiratsuka Izumi didn't speak, just looked straight back into Kudo Shinichi's eyes.

Kudo Shinichi felt guilty after being stared at.He also doesn't know whether he puts Hiratsuka Izumi's position on the positive side or the negative side. He doubts that Hiratsuka Izumi's behavior is weird, but because of Hui Yuan Ai's guard against Hiratsuka Izumi, he feels that Hui Yuan Ai puts Hiratsuka Izumi on guard. Tsukaizumi thought too badly.

Terrible, he had never felt so confused before.

"Kudou-kun, please continue to sleep, I'm sorry for waking you up."

"I said you don't need to be so polite to me." Kudo Shinichi once again showed a little helplessness on his face.

"Ah, I'm sorry... I'm used to it. I'll change it."

As long as it's what you say, she will change it to your liking, even if you lose your true self, it doesn't matter.

After Izumi Hiratsuka finished speaking, he stood up from the sofa to make room for Shinichi Kudo.She took a few steps back and did not go back to the bedroom, but knelt down on the soft cushion on the other side of the sofa.

Kudo Shinichi was puzzled, "Hiratsuka, aren't you going back to sleep?"

"I can't sleep alone." Izumi Hiratsuka raised his head and folded his hands towards Shinichi Kudo, "Kudo-kun, I have a request."

"what?"

"Let me sit here, I haven't felt at ease for a long, long time. I am very at ease staying by Kudo-kun's side. Even if it is an extra hour."

Looking at the girl's slightly swaying pupils, Kudo Shinichi couldn't say anything to refuse.

The author has something to say: Well, Mei Quan is indeed a bit sick www

Shinichi has too much sense of responsibility, so he will definitely take on it.But his thoughts are definitely not on the same channel as Quanmei 23333
