A Tribute to Sherlock Holmes[Comprehensive]

"Xinichi, what are you looking at?" Seeing that Kudo Shinichi's expression was a little strange, Mao Lilan asked casually.She also tried to look in the direction Kudo Shinichi was looking at, there was nothing special there.

"Ah, I... read it wrong, it's okay." Kudo Shinichi touched the hair on the back of his head, and changed the subject, "Hey, let's continue to walk around and look inside?"

"Okay."

Mao Lilan didn't notice this, after all, tonight was really rare for her, she cherished it and enjoyed it very much.

But Shinichi Kudo could no longer hold on to the feeling he had felt from the moment he approached the planetarium with his own Ome, just because he saw Izumi Hiratsuka who he thought was him.

That figure gradually began to appear in his mind, and the scene of the rainstorm day was more and more clearly presented in his mind.He really couldn't understand whether Hiratsuka Izumi was the evil side, or stood at the border, and needed someone to give her a hand.

Therefore, after Izumi Hiratsuka disappeared, Shinichi Kudo really thought that one day, he would have a chance to meet her again.For example, I want to know more about her, because there are still many unsolved mysteries left by her.

But she is always like a mirage, close in front of her eyes, but she can never touch her reality.Obviously saw it, but it was fleeting like a phantom.

As a result, Kudo Shinichi fell into the detective's dilemma, vacillating between justice and truth.

In the end, Izumi Hiratsuka made the choice for him.Knocked him out, erased all traces, buried the truth, made it a secret between the two of them.

He didn't resist this choice, but is this result really absolutely correct?

The sense of justice in his heart has always alerted Kudo Shinichi, so he has been unable to let go of this matter.Even if Izumi Hiratsuka never appeared again, he still hoped that one day he could reveal the truth with his own hands, if possible...he wanted to make it public with his own hands.

Before he knew it, Kudo Shinichi was walking in the direction where Izumi Hiratsuka disappeared just now, and the speed of his steps was gradually accelerating unconsciously.

"...Xinyi?" Mao Lilan followed the boy, noticed his strange behavior, and stopped him.

"Ah, huh?"

"You're distracted again."

"……Feel sorry."

"Is something wrong?"

Mao Lilan raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of worry.Her tacit understanding and cognition with Kudo Shinichi for so many years told her that the boy in front of her had something on her mind and was still hiding it.

"Maybe... it's my illusion."

What Kudo Shinichi said was vague.He was sure that his eyes were right, he indeed saw Izumi Hiratsuka standing there, and he had a conversation with another boy who was unfamiliar to him.

Among the crowd, Kudo Shinichi could no longer find the girl.That dazzling white color shouldn't be invisible.Could it be that he was really wrong just now?

At that time, all the lights in the entire hall were extinguished with a snap, and the relatively closed space was instantly plunged into darkness.

Before the commotion among the crowd grew, the space in the center of the pavilion, which was originally dotted with a sea of ​​lights like a galaxy, was suddenly lit with spotlights. Under the spotlights, there were slowly rising steps, and finally a small stage appeared.

Everyone stopped in place, and there was no doubt that everyone's attention was focused on this small stage at the moment.

Kudo Shinichi's reaction was indifferent. The moment he saw the stage, he thought of it. This must be an event in the middle hall of the lighting exhibition tonight, right?

"Everyone, Merry Christmas!" The person on the stage should be the staff of the astrology hall, wearing a Santa Claus costume, with a large white beard on his face, "This is a special event for tonight!"

it is as expected.

"We will randomly select one of the guests at the scene, and with your consent, come to the stage and play an interactive game with me. Then, in order to thank you for your participation, we will send—"

Santa Claus paused for a moment, he snapped his fingers, and another beam of spotlights came on, illuminating the other corner of the stage that was not emphasized. In the circular halo, there was a huge elk puppet.

"Send my lovely elk!"

The elk was very large, a little taller than a normal adult. The image of the Q version also makes this oversized puppet look not at all inconsistent, but rather soft and cute.

In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene was heated up immediately.It's just going up to play a game, and everyone is willing to be the only lucky guest.

Mao Lilan tugged Kudo Shinichi's sleeve: "I really want to be selected! If both of us are here, the probability of being selected will increase!" Her eyes flashed with hope, and the stage The lights cast by Fang mixed together.

Kudo Shinyi turned his head and fell into such a gaze, his heart was fluctuated for a moment, he raised his hand and clenched his fist against his lips, and gave a fake cough: "Cough... I hope I'm so lucky."

He didn't say anything too realistic to discourage Mao Lilan's enthusiasm.What the other party said is correct, the two people did increase the probability, but with so many people present, the denominator is huge!

"So... let's see which guest will be chosen?" Santa Claus' words were full of mystery.

After the words fell, the four corners of the venue lit up spotlights at the same time.The four beams of light began to wander among the crowd, and all the positions they swept showed people with expectant faces.

The lovers were all holding hands or leaning against the shoulders of the girls. I don't know if it was to single out the only one person. Finally, the four spotlights converged to one point.

Among the bright spots of light was a black-haired girl in a white coat.

"Our lights have stopped. The one chosen is a beautiful girl. Then, this lady, would you like to come to the stage and play interactive games with me?"

When the lights stopped, everyone's attention was focused on the chosen girl.

Surrounded by the brightest light, she seemed like a holy angel, just reflecting her pure white body.The hood's slender, smooth surface shimmered in the spotlight, making her look even more radiant.

Kudo Shinichi's eyes were also fixed on the black-haired girl in the distance. This girl was none other than Izumi Hiratsuka whom he had lost sight of a few minutes ago.

Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

For a long time after the reunion with Izumi Hiratsuka, Kudo Shinichi no longer believed in the word "coincidence".He felt that the girl could control any seemingly "coincidental" developments. Is it really a coincidence that Izumi Hiratsuka was chosen as the lucky one?

The moment Kudo Shinichi saw that it was her, he reflected on this issue.

The girl's appearance in the light was a little dazed, as if she hadn't realized that she had been chosen yet.

"That's right, don't doubt yourself, you are the one who was chosen." Seeing that Izumi Hiratsuka was still in the same place, Santa Claus gave her the answer with certainty, "Or do you need to discuss with the boyfriend next to you, let him Come instead of you?"

On Christmas Eve, men and women in pairs.

Men and women who stand together at a relatively close distance are naturally easily regarded as lovers.It is the same reason that Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi attended together. Except that the two of them have not held hands yet, they look like a couple no matter what.

When Santa Claus on the stage mentioned the word "boyfriend", Kudo Shinichi pulled his attention away from Izumi Hiratsuka and turned to the boy beside her.

It was a boy who looked very clerical, tall and a little thin.From a distance, Izumi Hiratsuka seemed to be talking to him, and it was no wonder that the presiding Santa Claus would make such a sweet joke in the eyes of couples.

"Isn't that Quan Jiang?" Mao Lilan also recognized the person, "She already has a boyfriend..." While sighing, her voice was full of envy that others could not detect.

At the same time, she pressed her backpack.In the bag is the photo of Shinichi Kudo and Izumi Hiratsuka when he was in junior high school. Mao Lilan planned to show it to the other party after the date ended today.Instead of choosing to give before the date, she felt that Kudo Shinichi's mood would be shaken.

For some reason, when I heard the word "boyfriend", I suddenly felt relieved to let go of some burden.

It seems that those ambiguous pasts between Izumi Hiratsuka and Shinichi Kudo are just her imagination, right?Thinking of this, Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief.

Kudo Shinichi was silent, and he didn't know where the intuition came from. He just felt that the tall boy and Hiratsuka Izumi were not in a relationship.Or...he hoped that the two were not lovers?

In his opinion, there is a hook between Izumi Hiratsuka and the truth, not to mention feelings, that is the girl he can never let go of.

"It's great to be selected...that elk is so cute..." I was a little disappointed not to be selected, but Mao Lilan is also a person who understands that it is normal that such a small probability of being selected will not happen to her.When she saw that Izumi Hiratsuka was selected, she sincerely congratulated: "But congratulations to Izumi-chan!"

"Have you discussed it with your boyfriend?" Santa Claus was still teasing the two people in the audience.

"Eh? Is it really me?" The girl's voice was as clear as a spring, and it sounded like a different kind of transparent texture.

"It's you."

After being confirmed again, Izumi Hiratsuka showed a gentle smile.That is the expression that only she can make, and it is the most gentle existence in anyone's eyes.

Except Kudo Shinichi.

The halo of the spotlight followed the girl as she walked, and followed her all the way to the stage.

The girl's posture was as dignified and elegant as ever. After arriving on the stage, she bowed to the audience in a very formal manner.This behavior is quite pleasing, and it also made Santa Claus who was on the stage with her laugh.

"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous." Santa Claus suddenly had a Christmas hat in his hand like magic, and he put it on Hiratsuka Izumi. "What's your name?"

"IZUMI, the spring of spring water."

"It's a nice name. Then Ms. Quan, since the opportunity is so rare, what Christmas wishes do you have? Asking for a boyfriend in front of so many people, there should be no reason for him to refuse." Santa's host joked, "Be reasonable, don't embarrass others."

In fact, Hiratsuka Izumi and the boy are not in a relationship at all, but she did not deny it, because the host has been teasing, in front of so many people, it is better for her not to tear things apart.After waiting, she will go and explain clearly to others.Anyway, no one knew anyone at the scene, so there was no misunderstanding.

"Well... Actually, there is no request. If I have to say a Christmas wish..." The girl smiled, and the smile became softer under the halo. She squinted her eyes, and she didn't know who was looking at the audience. "I hope that he who is in the audience must seize the next opportunity."

Bi can mean both him and boyfriend.What Hiratsuka Izumi said was ambiguous, and those who understand it will naturally understand it. This is undoubtedly a psychological hint to everyone present.

Outsiders would only think that the "he" that Izumi Hiratsuka mentioned was her "boyfriend" who stood in the audience and was forcibly constructed by the host.

For example, the host himself understood it this way, and he suddenly laughed badly: "What is Miss Quan implying about her boyfriend? Well, I won't talk about your secrets, so let me introduce the rules of the interactive game..."

Kudo Shinichi frowned, he didn't know if he was the focus of Hiratsuka Izumi's far-away gaze while standing on the stage.

Those clear eyes that see everything are as beautiful as glass balls under the strong light.In those eyes, there is a mystery that Shin Kudo cannot see through.

He also didn't escape Hiratsuka Izumi's hints, and to him, the unclear words were meant for himself.

The implicit meaning in the words is - I am standing here, if you want to catch me, don't let go of the next opportunity.

In the process of explaining the rules of the game, there was a sudden scream from the audience.At the source of the screams, someone fell to the ground. The light was not very bright at that position, but it could be seen that some liquid was dripping from under that person's body.

"Ah!! Murder!" Another scream.

The restless man held a long knife that was still stained with blood in his hand. Someone wanted to step forward to stop him, but he swung the blade and cut the person who approached him.

It was a knife about [-] centimeters long. I don't know how he substituted such a dangerous instrument into the arena.

For a moment, there was an empty space centered on this man amidst the crowd, and no one dared to approach him again.

In the gloom, the man's slightly ferocious expression became even darker.He cast his eyes on the stage, as if locking onto the target.In the next second, he rushed towards the brightest center with a knife in his hand. Everyone was either dumbfounded or frightened, and no one dared to step forward to stop him.

The author has something to say: Quan Mei is back.

Because I don't know what game to make, I was interrupted when I wrote it.

Because I couldn't think of any awesome tricks, I just wrote about killing people indiscriminately. In this way, the criminal can be arrested on the spot, and I don't have to talk about other complicated things.

Oh, I'm such a clever little [no

After all, the daily case is not the point. If it is simpler, it will be easy for everyone to see [it doesn’t seem easy?

This prisoner is an irritated single dog, let you see how terrible the anger of a single dog is [no
