A Tribute to Sherlock Holmes[Comprehensive]

The air at night was slightly cool, and the hall with the windows closed seemed to have a freezing effect, freezing the air.The two sitting on the sofa were silent, and the atmosphere was once very awkward.

The sound of the pointer swinging in the clock in the room became the only restlessness, and there was a rhythmic rattling sound in the silence.

——How does Izumi-chan feel about Shinichi?

Mao Lilan's question was actually a little tactful, what she wanted to know was what kind of feelings Hiratsuka Izumi had for Kudo Shinichi.Because I have personally seen the ambiguous or unclear involvement between the two of them.

Izumi Hiratsuka's long silence did not give a single word answer, which made Mao Lilan even more nervous, and she didn't even dare to listen to the answer to this question.

She was afraid that that answer would be the last one she wanted to hear.

He mustered up the courage to look at the face of the girl who was asked the question. The latter's expression was serious and outrageous. It seemed that she was really taking this question very seriously.

"That... Izumi-chan, I'm sorry, I asked too suddenly." After all, Mao Lilan was still too gentle. She felt that she was embarrassing Izumi Hiratsuka, so she justified this embarrassing question by herself. "Izumi-chan just treat me as talking to myself! Don't bother with my questions!"

I feel somewhat regretful that I actually asked this question out loud.

"No, I have seriously thought about the question Lan asked me." Izumi Hiratsuka shook her head lightly, and she looked back at Mao Lilan's eyes filled with expectation, and met her with an extremely gentle and serious expression. , "Ran is asking me that because he cares about Kudo-kun, right?"

The girl cleverly turned the whole question into a rhetorical one.

Mao Lilan is gentle and kind, and will not be rude to others.

Izumi Hiratsuka asked this question back, and what's more, she poked a red heart, and she subconsciously felt a little bit shy.Because she really couldn't hide her affection for her bamboo horse, and she liked it.

It was a kind of sweet feeling that made me happy when I mentioned it, but also a little shy.

Izumi Hiratsuka also has this feeling for Shinichi Kudo. Two years ago, when she was not taken away by the organization and placed in confinement, she was just an ordinary girl who adored the shining boy.

It's just that she is different now.

"Your expression has already answered my question, idiot." Izumi Hiratsuka bent his eyes and poked Mao Lilan's slightly flushed cheek with his finger. The tone of the joke was like teasing among girlfriends.

This trick worked very well, Mao Lilan raised her hands shyly and cupped her face, sticking to the part that was poked by Izumi Hiratsuka.

Hiratsuka Izumi and Mao Lilan both seem to be very gentle and polite people, but the former is an illusion woven by lies, and the latter is the real self.

"Quan-chan, don't say these things to make fun of me!"

The topic has been completely deceived by Izumi Hiratsuka, and Mao Lilan, who was in the center of the girl's shyness, temporarily ignored her doubts about Izumi Hiratsuka who had been thinking about it all night.

At least at this point, Mao Lilan believes that Izumi Hiratsuka is enlightened, because the other party's words and deeds all reveal implicit support and understanding for her.

This is also Izumi Hiratsuka's method to downplay his own attention, using another important point that cannot be ignored to divert a large part...or even all of the other party's wariness.

Temporary transfer is enough.Because when the other party realized it, they might have lost the opportunity to question again.

"I'm not making fun of you, I envy you very much." Izumi Hiratsuka's voice remained soft and soft, and she patted Mao Lilan's arm with a slight smile. This smile seemed to have a healing soft light, "Go to sleep Well, it's getting late."

"Okay, that spring sauce should also go to bed earlier."

Not to mention asking something from Izumi Hiratsuka, Mao Lilan, who has completely entered the rhythm of Izumi Hiratsuka, responded without any precautions to end the topic.She stood up from the sofa and smiled back at Izumi Hiratsuka.

As if to reassure Mao Lilan, Izumi Hiratsuka got up with her.After saying goodnight to each other, Izumi Hiratsuka watched the other party go back to the bedroom, until the door of the room was closed and there was the sound of the latch being fastened.

Turning off the light in the living room, the whole space fell into darkness again.The clock in the hall was still ringing, adding to the gloomy atmosphere that had returned to tranquility.

Izumi Hiratsuka took out his mobile phone from his pocket, looked at her gentle face with the faint fluorescent light on the screen of the mobile phone, but on that obviously beautiful face, the smile that was retained just a moment ago disappeared completely.

The girl's eyes were cold, and her gaze without emotion hung on the phone——

It was a call that had already been placed and was never hung up.

Conan, who had recovered his body as a primary school student, stayed overnight at Dr. Ali's house. The uncontrollable changes in his body prevented him from saying goodbye to Mao Lilan.Because he was caught in the kidnapping case directly related to Izumi Hiratsuka, he suddenly changed back in the middle of the incident.

In the same sleepless night, his calm mind began to analyze the things related to Izumi Hiratsuka one by one, and the images of girls that kept popping up in his mind made Conan a little confused.

Going back earlier, it seems that since Izumi Hiratsuka first appeared in the Maori Detective Agency, accidents have been happening frequently without stopping.

After the explosion of the Rice Flower Building, Conan tried to keep Hiratsuka Izumi within his controllable range to monitor.But during the few days when he stayed home to recuperate, Hiratsuka Izumi simply took care of him very seriously.

As Hiratsuka Izumi said, she thanked Kudo-kun for going to the Mihua Building to save her, so what she did was an act of gratitude, so that Kudo Shinichi should not think too much.

There are too many doubts about Izumi Hiratsuka.

Her relationship with the organization, her relationship with Chabli, the bug and transmitter in the bunny puppet given to Hui Yuanai, the threatening video, and the most deadly point, the two needle holes on Conan's elbow.

The first few points have not yet been determined, but what happened to Conan himself, whether it was the threatening video or the two needle holes, are things that only Izumi Hiratsuka can accomplish.

The peace in the past few days made Conan relax his vigilance a little, and the kidnapping incident that followed made him see the pitiful and weak side of Izumi Hiratsuka.

How can such a person have a strong background and background to manipulate the black | curtain like a spider web?

After tossing and turning without sleep, Conan finally got out of bed.He put on a coat and sat on the sofa in the doctor's house.

Dr. A Li's snoring was very loud, and the rhythmic sound could be heard through the door.

Conan rarely felt like this, the whole mind was filled just for one person.Of course, it's not because of personal feelings to keep thinking about it, but because all the cases are tied to the same person.

Hiratsuka Izumi.

No matter what role Hiratsuka Izumi played in each incident, it is undeniable that Hiratsuka Izumi did have a clear connection with each incident.

The first victim was Masaki Nagata, and Izumi Hiratsuka was almost raped as the victim.The second deceased was Sami Kusuki, the manager of the Italian restaurant, and Izumi Hiratsuka worked in her shop.The third is Nishina Sousuke, the mastermind of the kidnapping case, and Izumi Hiratsuka once again stood in the victim's character set.

What exactly went wrong?Because no matter how you look at it, the deaths of the three people have nothing to do with Hiratsuka Izumi.But Conan just felt that there was an indelible disobedience, but he couldn't find any evidence to prove his intuition.

The three people who died had no connection at all in terms of social background. What connected them together was their way of death—the rhythm of life lost like a natural death.

There was no trauma, no poisoning, it was very normal to change from a living person to a corpse without a heartbeat or pulse.

Izumi Hiratsuka hinted whether the death of Kusuki Sami was related to the organization. If the cause of death of one of them was related to the organization, then the three seemingly unrelated dead must be related.

There is only one possible result - death by drugs.

Isn't the principle of APTX4869 a toxin that causes programmed cell death?

In connection with the fact that Conan accidentally ate the cake made by Izumi Hiratsuka and temporarily restored his original body, does this mean that Izumi Hiratsuka possessed this drug, and the cause of death of the three people may also be due to this drug.

Suppose it was all done by Izumi Hiratsuka?What about motivation?There is no reason at all, right?

Conan couldn't figure it out. Apart from not being able to find the motive, he didn't think that these three incidents were something that Izumi Hiratsuka could do alone.

The Metropolitan Police Department set up an investigation team for this series of incidents. Regarding the case, Megure in the investigation team invited Kudo Shinichi for foreign aid.So for some cases, Conan is clear.

In the hospital, Conan also heard the conversation between police officer Hiratsuka Izumi.

There may be an accomplice in the case of Nishina Sousuke, but Hiratsuka Izumi’s testimony cannot determine who the unknown person is. The only clue is the footprints left in the abandoned apartment room that do not belong to Nishina Sousuke. Quan's testimony is correct.

It's still the original question. If you want to solve the truth, maybe you can only start with Hiratsuka Izumi.

Before that, Conan had asked Hiratsuka Izumi some things, and the latter was always very active and cooperative.

But Izumi Hiratsuka himself exists like a mirage, she is always by her side, and she doesn't seem to hold anything back on the surface.But from what she said, there was no clue about the progress of the case.

In the end, those initial doubts were just fruitless doubts.

Conan wondered if he had fallen into some kind of misunderstanding, and he still couldn't figure out which link was wrong.

At that time, he was startled by the vibration when the phone came in. His body trembled subconsciously, and he almost threw the phone on the ground.

At this time, no matter who is calling, it is very strange.

Looking at the caller ID above, it was Izumi Hiratsuka.

The phone was connected, and Conan said "Hello", but did not get any response.

Then, Mao Lilan's voice rang first from the receiver: "It's Quan Jiang..."

The sound is a bit far away, but enough to be heard clearly.

The author has something to say: I feel like I'm still going around the origin qwq

This can't work, I have to push forward quickly♂
