A Tribute to Sherlock Holmes[Comprehensive]

It happened to be the weekend, around noon, Mao Lilan received a call from his friend Suzuki Sonoko.

Just after pressing the answer button, Yuanzi's grinning voice came from the receiver: "Lan, tell me the truth, what did you do last night?"

"I was at home last night."

"Oh, you don't lie to me. What are you embarrassed about. How is it? How was it last night? I waited quite empathetically to call you until now."

"Sonoko, what are you talking about?" Suzuki Sonoko's overly ambiguous tone made Mao Lilan confused, and she explained again, "I was really at home last night."

"Yo, yo, what else can't you say to my best friend." Suzuki Sonoko was shy as a friend of his own, embarrassed to say, "I saw it last night, you and Kudo were at the station. Be honest, later Where have you been?"

"Xinyi? Station?" This is a completely new concept for her.

"I'm still pretending to be stupid. Fortunately, I was witty and left evidence. Hehehe, don't try to hide it anymore." Suzuki Sonoko was still smiling meaningfully, "Congratulations, the cultivation has come to fruition."

"Sonoko, what are you talking about? I don't understand..."

"Oh, don't be shy, I'll send it to you, the evidence——"

After hanging up the phone, I immediately received a photo from Sonoko Suzuki.

The scene in the photo is the background of the station, and there were not many pedestrians at that time, so the two backs separated by a distance in the center of the picture are particularly eye-catching.

The boy wearing the hat was indeed Kudo Shinichi, and the coat he was wearing was exactly the one Mao Lilan had seen before saying goodbye to him.The black-haired girl he pulled, only in Mao Lilan's eyes, could she be absolutely sure that it was not herself.

The degree of self-awareness of oneself is naturally deeper than that of others. Mao Lilan knew that the person could never be herself, and at the same time, she also recognized the identity of the girl.

It is Izumi Hiratsuka.

Why does Xinyi stay with Quanjiang for a while?This is Mao Lilan's doubts.Obviously Kudo Shinichi told her that he was going to deal with the case.But it's only a day away, how could Hiratsuka Izumi stay together.And... holding hands?

A photo made Mao Lilan think of something she thought she had misunderstood or thought too much.

Izumi Hiratsuka met in front of the love hotel on Christmas Eve.At that time, Kudo Shinichi's attitude was good, and when Hiratsuka Izumi was asked about her relationship with Kudo Shinichi, the attitude of the two people was very delicate.

Looking back now, the more Mao Lilan thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes.

People's memory will gradually become blurred with time. When recalling, the brain will subconsciously fill in some holes, and the filling method is to fill in according to people's own thinking.Then, false memories are created.

For this kind of memory that is completed later, it is often firmly believed to be the truth.

Sonoko Suzuki's so-called "cultivation is fruitful", it is really hard not to make people wonder about what happened to the two people after they left the station at night in the photo.

On the mobile phone, the interface of Shinichi Kudo among the contacts was pressed, and the fingertips stayed on the top of the screen for several seconds. After all, Mao Lilan did not dial the call.

What is the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and Hiratsuka Izumi?In fact, even if they really... have such a relationship, Mao Lilan thinks that as long as it is something that Xinyi thinks is happy and he can feel happy, that is enough.

But what she couldn't forgive was why she didn't want to disclose such a relationship to her.He even used the excuse of "going to deal with the case" for not coming back for a long time to ambiguously lose the meeting with Izumi Hiratsuka.

Then for so long, every time Kudo Shinichi said that he was busy with the case, so he didn't have time to come back. Could it be because of such reasons...

No, no, it's impossible, Shinichi...he wouldn't be that kind of person.

Speaking of which... A long time ago, Izumi Hiratsuka ran out to meet him late at night, right?And that Mao Lilan failed to return it, the photo of the two of them when they were in middle school...

All kinds of ambiguous and doubtful memories were intertwined in Mao Lilan's mind. The more she thought about it, the more she felt her heart was being grabbed.

Why should she care so much?Do you feel betrayed...or...

Up to now, the kind-hearted Mao Lilan is still more willing to believe that she must have misunderstood something.However, she felt that she could no longer remain indifferent.Even if it was the answer she didn't want to see the most, she had to check it herself.

This kind of ambiguity, as if there was an invisible barrier in front of her, made her uncomfortable.

After a quick lunch, Mao Lilan hurried out the door.She sorted out her emotions and kept telling herself that she must have misunderstood something, as long as she went there, she would get the answer.

It was Mao Lilan's selfishness that he didn't call Kudo Shinichi in advance to say that he was going to look for him.Because she was afraid that she would get another answer like "I'm not free because the case is very busy".

As for this answer, Mao Lilan didn't want to hear it anymore, at least now she couldn't believe the reason anymore.

She brought a group photo of Kudo Shinichi and Hiratsuka Izumi, which is considered to be looking for the other party, and there is a reasonable reason.I should have returned the photo. Thinking about it this way, I suddenly became more confident.

Ring the doorbell and wait quietly.

But the peaceful mood rebuilt along the way and the last little expectation for the best answer she hoped for, completely collapsed the second the door of Kudo's house was opened.

Mao Lilan considered the result that Kudo Shinichi might not be at home, but never thought that the one who came out to open the door would be Hiratsuka Izumi, who was pulled by Kudo Shinichi at the station the night before.

The girl pulled the handle and opened the door. When the sun shines on her in an instant, even her fair skin seems to be radiant, delicate and beautiful.The long black hair slid down a little from her shoulders, and the whole person looked gentle and innocent.

Mao Lilan felt familiar with such a scene, and the same occasion could happen a second time.Such a low-probability incident happened to other people in Kudo House, but it actually happened to the same girl twice, and both times, Mao Lilan personally encountered it.

Did she spend the night at Kudo's house?Compared with the previous ambiguous scene wearing Kudo Shinichi's shirt, this time Izumi Hiratsuka wore his own clothes properly.

"... Spring Sauce?"

At the moment when the eyes met, Mao Lilan clearly saw a trace of panic in the girl's eyes.Immediately afterwards, she smiled apologetically in order to hide her emotions: "Lan? Why are you here?"

"I'm here to find Shinichi... I have something to return to Shinichi."

"That... Kudo-kun... he's not here." The soft tone seemed a little guilty, and Hiratsuka Izumi's eyes were not firm, "Hey, if it's okay, I'll hand it over to him."

"If Shinichi is not here, I can wait for him to come back."

"Well……"

Izumi Hiratsuka was still standing in front of the door, and it even seemed a bit difficult for Mao Lilan.This appearance is obviously preventing Mao Lilan from entering. The more it is like this, the more curious it will be to make people wonder what happened in the house, and to reach this point.

Mao Lilan narrowed her eyes and looked at the soft and beautiful girl in front of her. She felt that the Hiratsuka Izumi she had been with should not be what she is now.Why did she stop herself?

Curving her eyebrows in confusion, Mao Lilan suppressed the countless questions she wanted to ask, and said softly: "Is there something Quanjiang is hiding from me?"

"Eh?"

"Is there something you're keeping from me with Shinichi..."

"Lan, did you think something wrong?"

This kind of answer turned into a rhetorical question in a way that avoided the point made Mao Lilan feel that there must be something behind it. If everything is upright and clear, why did Izumi Hiratsuka stop in front of this door again?

"Is Shinichi really not at home?"

Before the question could be answered, there was a small sound from inside the room that answered the question for Izumi Hiratsuka.

Izumi Hiratsuka suddenly turned his head and looked into the room, taking advantage of this gap, Mao Lilan squeezed her away in a panic and entered the door.

"Shinichi?" She yelled the name of the owner of Kudo's mansion into the house, but the shouting sound finally disappeared in the empty house.

After all, this is Kudo Shinichi's home, and Izumi Hiratsuka has nothing to say.She followed Mao Lilan silently, also looking for Kudo Shinichi.

To be precise, she was looking for Conan.

This is the fourth day that Kudo Shinichi has recovered his body. According to him, it is not clear when he will return to Conan's body.Therefore, Kudo Shinichi planned to stay at home, wait for the moment when the effect of the medicine faded, and then return as Conan.

He left Izumi Hiratsuka the night before. After all, he was the one who "abducted" him back from Kanagawa on his own initiative. The big detective knew he had to bear the responsibility.To be honest, when Hiratsuka Izumi mentioned whether she would run away, Kudo Shinichi really felt that she would indeed do so.

So all the way back from the station, he held Hiratsuka Izumi firmly.Hiratsuka Izumi also cooperated very well, and was dragged all the way home by him.

Neither of them expected that Mao Lilan would come without warning, and he had already transformed into Conan's body. Naturally, Kudo Shinichi couldn't go downstairs to open the door, so Izumi Hiratsuka did it for him.But when he saw that the person standing at the door was Mao Lilan, of course Izumi Hiratsuka wanted to stop her.

As for what Mao Lilan would think of her behavior and attitude, that was Mao Lilan's business.

After searching around, it is true that Kudo Shinichi was not found at home.The only source of the sound I found could only be the small fish swimming in the small bucket in the kitchen, which seemed very reluctant to stay in it.

When entering the kitchen, the fish was still flipping, as if it had jumped out of the small space first.

"Ah, that fish?" Izumi Hiratsuka noticed Mao Lilan's gaze, and explained in a timely manner, "I wanted to make it for lunch, but I definitely can't eat it by myself."

I don't know if the "one person" was deliberately emphasized, which made Mao Lilan feel even more wrong.

There are unfinished dishes on the table, it seems that lunch is not over yet.The point is, there are two sets of tableware on the table.Obviously, Izumi Hiratsuka was definitely not the only one who had lunch here just now.

The other person could only be Kudo Shinichi himself, right?

Mao Lilan turned her head and looked at Izumi Hiratsuka who was following behind her.The latter's innocent expression was innocent, but Mao Lilan frowned, looking at the girl's clear eyes in disbelief.

She doesn't understand why Hiratsuka Izumi can still put on such a calm and pure expression, and her bamboo horse...

What exactly did these two men do?What are you hiding?

If she hadn't come in person for this surprise visit, wouldn't she have never been able to discover or touch the secret behind it?

"Quanjiang, is Shinichi really not at home?"

"Kudou-kun is not here." The girl's answer was obscure and pale.

Faced with such obvious evidence, Izumi Hiratsuka could still give a negative answer.Mao Lilan was convinced that she was lying, but she didn't continue to expose this issue.

She drooped her eyes in silence for a while, and finally turned her gaze to the gentle girl standing a few steps away from her.

"Naquanjiang..." Mao Lilan said, her voice trembling, "I have something to tell you."

The author has something to say: Thank you Shirley Lou Baby for mine!

Thank you for the original historian's nutrient solution*10!

Zhenggong came to catch the adulterer, but it was really a misunderstanding, Xiaolan and Shinichi were not on the same channel at all, chatting across servers.
