"Thank you for your hard work." Kithara Sosuke looked at him and said with a smile, but seeing the boy looking miserable, he asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

Yushu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Someone died."

"The one who fell from the building?"

"Yeah." Yushu nodded and said, "He accidentally stepped on the air while dodging, and fell directly."

Kithara Sosuke was silent for a moment.

In fact, in his opinion, these people in the black organization are basically criminals or reserve criminals, and it doesn't matter if they die. What's more, sometimes it's either you or me, and there is no room for hesitation or soft-heartedness.

But he also knew that these words could not actually be used to explain Yushu.

Doesn't he know about the crimes those people committed in the past?

of course I know!

Yushu may even know better than they themselves.

But he still feels sad about it.

Yuuki - or Hiroki Sawada is a very kind child, and he is not willing to hurt anyone by nature. Even if he is dealing with criminals, he only controls the gun to pierce the arms or legs of those people, or explode.

It looks extremely dangerous, but in fact it only explodes after people are away from a certain distance.

Yushu wanted to keep all those people alive, and then hand them over to the police and judges for trial. But the reality is not as expected, accidents can happen at any time, and death is everywhere.

Afterwards, all the remote-controlled firearms and bombs were burned into molten iron, including the cameras and various small mechanisms installed in advance by Kitahara Sosuke, mixed with countless gravel, earth, rocks, and steel bars, even if

Even if Sherlock Holmes is reincarnated, there is no hope of discovering the truth again.

But the dead cannot be resurrected.

After Yushu was depressed for a moment, he cheered up. He rubbed his face and asked with a smile: "Brother designed this act today just to make Conan think that you are not a shadow cat?"

"Yes." Kitahara Sosuke changed the subject by the way: "Conan... he is very keen. Sometimes he sees through everything, but unless you see clearly, you will never know how much you have been exposed."

"But brother," Yushu asked strangely, "don't you mind that Miss Miyano knowing your identity? Why do you have to hide it from Conan? The relationship between you should be closer!"

"Because in Miyano Akemi's heart, the most important thing is Xiao Ai. She is willing to commit crimes for her sister. But Conan is different..." Kitahara Sosuke said: "He is the Demon of Light."

"Light...Majin?" Yushu chewed on the meaning of this title, and seemed to understand it, but he didn't quite understand it, but Kitahara Sosuke had no intention of explaining it.

The several collisions between Conan and the black organization in the original plot left a very deep impression on Kitahara Sosuke. Every time he felt that the protagonist seemed to be set up, deceived, and about to be exposed, there was a sudden reversal and he discovered

The little detective has already understood the truth. Everyone is like a puppet in his hands, and every move can only be carried out according to his imagination.

It's scary to think about it.

Just like now, Kitahara Sosuke also has the secret identity of "Shadow Cat". Sometimes when they bring up related topics, he can't help but wonder - has Conan discovered his identity?

So in the last bombing incident, Kitahara Sosuke made the long-dormant shadow cat appear again. He took away all the bombs in advance and deliberately arranged them so that the prisoner's design could still work.

Continue. As a result, when the bomb was about to explode above the elevator car, Conan saw the name of [Shadow Cat] and took down the so-called "bomb" without any hesitation.

At that moment, the expression and movements of the little detective convinced Kitahara Sosuke that——

In fact, he has already been exposed.

The reason Conan did not specify was probably because he was waiting for a more suitable time, or to obtain more evidence. But Kitahara Sosuke could not let those eyes stare at him all the time.

It's not that he was worried that the little detective would send him to prison outright - after such a long time, if he didn't even have this little confidence, then a person who didn't even recognize his relatives wouldn't be worth his efforts at all.

In the plot, when Conan releases the sea to Kidd, it almost becomes the Pacific Ocean, and it will not be much different when it comes to him - the little detective will probably shout "I must catch you" all day long, but when it comes to the specific execution, he even

I'd like to help you a little bit.

Of course, Conan doesn't know Kid's true identity, or in other words, he just wants to catch the thief at the crime scene, but he doesn't try his best to trace Kid's true identity. If Conan investigates the Phantom Thieves with the spirit of tracing the black organization,

Kidd, that kid who jumped out has probably been exposed a long time ago.

Now, his identity and address are no secret to Conan. If Conan confirms that Kitahara Sosuke is Shadow Cat, even if the two of them are tacitly aware of each other, he will inevitably be constrained in doing things in the future - when Shadow Cat and the Black Organization

When he does the right thing and helps the police, Conan is naturally willing to provide assistance; but what if Shadow Cat kills people and sets eight eggs on fire? Even if he is dealing with bad guys, will Conan still sit back and watch?

The greater possibility is that the little detective did not send him to prison, but would keep an eye on him all day long, prevent him from running out and "criminal crimes", and use his own way to make Kitahara Sosuke "return to justice".

This is no longer interesting.

Therefore, it doesn't matter that Shadow Cat's identity is exposed to others, but for Conan, Kitahara Sosuke doesn't want him to have such an association at all.

So far, it seems that this scene has achieved its goal. But...

Perhaps the psychological shadow left by "Director Ke" is a bit deep, so Kitahara Sosuke is still a little worried - does he really have no doubts?

"Yuuki." Kitahara Sosuke finally said: "Pay attention to the police's investigation results. If there are any findings that are detrimental to us, please notify me in time."

"I know, brother."

"There was an explosion at Xianqiao Station last night. It is reported that it may have been caused by a crossfire between two criminal organizations..."

"We can see that the current situation at Xianqiao Station is very tragic, caused by the explosion..."

"This station will be rebuilt before it is put into use. The surrounding residents are very dissatisfied..."

"...Fortunately, no innocent citizens were injured or injured as a result, but the police found a large amount of blood stains at the scene. It can be speculated that at least one person died last night..."

When I woke up early in the morning, the news on the TV was all flooded with the incident at Xianqiao Station last night. I changed to several TV stations and all I saw were similar scenes.

Everyone in the Beihara family vaguely guessed what their young master did when he went out last night, but they had been warned by Kamino Higashi a long time ago and did not show any signs of strangeness. They ate breakfast quietly.

Dr. A Li didn't stay overnight last night because Xiao Ai was still at home. He was worried that the girl would be scared alone. After confirming that Conan was fine, he hurried back. Sakata Hikari drove him there. In the morning, he picked up A Li again.

The doctor went to the mountain road in Gunma Prefecture to find the Beetle abandoned on the roadside.

After dinner, Conan had to go to school, and the Kitahara family also received an unexpected visitor.

"Hello, this is Huabao Delivery Service. Sorry, is Mr. Kitahara Sosuke at home?"

A gentle female voice came from the intercom. Yoshinaga Junpei took a look through the surveillance screen. Although he felt that female delivery persons were rare, he did not feel anything unusual, so he walked out of the door and said: "Is there a package? Give it to me.

alright."

"I'm sorry." The female delivery person raised her head, with a large box beside her, and said, "This package must be signed for by myself."

Yoshinaga Junpei frowned, and then said casually: "That's just right, I am Kitahara Sosuke. Where can I sign?"

The delivery man did not give him the signature form, but insisted with a smile: "Hello, please inform Mr. Kitahara to come and sign for it in person."

Yoshinaga Junpei narrowed his eyes, then picked up the walkie-talkie and called the inside of the house.

It is impossible to sign for the package in person. What if there is a bomb inside? You can investigate the identity of the woman and the origin of the package...

However, before what he thought was put into action, Kitahara Sosuke, who received Yushu's notification, had already come out.

"Junpei." Kitahara Sosuke smiled and said, "Let her come in."

"oh."

Yoshinaga Junpei responded, and then looked thoughtfully at the woman's delicate face, feeling that he seemed to understand. He opened the door and reached out to hug the box on the ground, but was stopped again.

"Sorry, just leave this to me. There are two more boxes in the car that need Mr. Kitahara's signature, so I'm sorry to bother you."

The woman said politely, with a very gentle smile. Seeing her carrying the box through the door, Yoshinaga Junpei turned to look at the delivery truck.

In the carriage, there were two boxes that were at least three times larger than the one just now, placed side by side.

Yoshinaga Junpei: "..."

…………………………

"Dolls for Girls' Day?" Kitahara Sosuke asked in surprise.

"Yes." Miyano Akemi stroked the box and said with some sadness: "According to custom, you should put out all the Hina dolls two weeks before Doll's Day. This was the case when I was a child. But..."

She lowered her head, held back tears, and said with a bitter smile: "After my parents passed away, when I saw those dolls, I would recall the pain and loneliness at that time, and I never took them out again. So Shiho grew up

I’ve never had a complete Daughter’s Day since I was a kid.”

"But now that I think about it, I am really an unqualified sister!" Akemi Miyano said: "The Dolls' Day dolls not only express our parents' love for us, but can also take away illness and sadness, and have the meaning of protecting the healthy growth of our daughters.

.I heard that when something bad happens, the doll will bear the disaster on behalf of its owner. But I took such important things away from Shiho's life because of my own feelings."

"So... Mr. Kitahara, please." Miyano Akemi leaned over and saluted: "In your name, please donate this set of dolls to Shiho. I hope she will always be safe and healthy in the future, and will have no worries."

Kithara Sosuke did not hesitate and said: "Of course. But... will Xiao Ai recognize this set of dolls?"

Miyano Akemi smiled bitterly and said: "You misunderstood. The set of dolls left by my parents... I don't know where it is now, and I can't find it a long time ago. This is a set I bought again without any markings. So Shiho

It's impossible for her to recognize anything."

"I understand, then leave this matter to me."

"Thank you very much." Miyano Akemi saluted again, stood up and said, "Then I will take my leave..."

Before he finished speaking, a series of shouts suddenly came from outside the door——

"Brother Beihara, we are here!"

"Poirot, did you miss me?"

"Sister Jingzi, I'm hungry! Is there anything to eat?"

"I'm back."
