"Ah...no, it's okay."

Misari Ito adhered to the "personality" and did not lose face, let alone the unhappiness in her heart.

——Do you think my home is a tourist spot?

and……

Different from the famous detective Mouri Kogoro just now, the young man in front of her made her hair crawl even though he had a smile on his face.

Even if there are no secrets in the attic, Misari Ito doesn’t want such people to enter his home. He said tactfully: "What can I do for you? I have some very important work now that I can’t interrupt..."

However, she didn’t know that the moment she heard Kitahara Sosuke’s voice, Hattori Heiji’s eyes in the attic were as bright as if they were about to shine. He couldn’t speak, but he knocked lightly on the floor with his fingers——

"Dong, dong, dong..."

There was a very light knocking sound. Except for Yuan Shan and Ye behind them who were vaguely aware of it, the man in front of them who was pointing a gun at them did not hear it at all.

Hattori Heiji felt that the sound of his heart beating was louder than the sound he made.

Three short, three long, three short.

Morse code: sos.

--can you hear?

Hattori Heiji thought, but he was not sure.

It's just that... he remembered that Conan once mentioned to him that Kitahara Sosuke's hearing was incredible. After all, he still held on to weak hope. After a two-second pause, he knocked again.

——Kudo left and came back, he must have noticed something, right?

"That's right!" The boy said with some regret, "Then we won't bother you. Goodbye, aunt!"

"Goodbye, little one!" Misari Ito said still gently.

"Bang!"

The sound of the door being closed sounded, and the slightly nervous expressions of the two men in front of him relaxed, but Hattori Heiji's eyes widened - Hey, hey, you're not just leaving like this, are you? By the way, Kitahara, did you hear that?

He clenched his fist and smashed it hard on the ground. The instant noodle-headed man immediately rushed up and pushed him to the ground. He lowered his voice and yelled angrily: "Do you want to die? You brat!"

But Hattori Heiji smiled with satisfaction - yes, as long as you talk, Kitahara will be able to find him!

But after waiting for a while, he didn't hear the sound of the two people returning from downstairs again. He only heard the cat suddenly meowing.

No, that's not right.

Why didn't I hear the woman's footsteps?

Misari Ito is very fat. If she goes upstairs, she will never be so quiet.

in addition……

Hattori Heiji looked at the miserable "corpse" with a slightly strange look.

When your ears are pressed against the ground, your hearing is particularly sensitive. So, isn't the faint sound of breathing coming from this "corpse"?

And the dust on the floor around his nose was still moving…

It turns out he’s not dead...Kusukawa!

While feeling relieved, Hattori Heiji also saw the person walking up the stairs to the attic - a young man in black holding a cat with slender ears in his arms, walking up very leisurely, the little detective followed him, with a look on his face.

Pressing his watch seriously.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

With two crisp sounds, Instant Noodle Tou and Baotou Tou fell to the ground almost at the same time. Yuan Shan and Ye saw clearly who was coming and almost cried with joy.

"Why were you caught so easily?" Kitahara Sosuke sighed, squatting down and helping them untie the rope.

"I was careless..." Hattori Heiji said slowly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, Conan-kun, Kitahara-kun!" Toyama and Ye tore off the tape on their mouths and said gratefully, but couldn't help complaining: "Today is really unlucky."

Kithara Sosuke glanced at her and felt that she was really lucky.

I don’t know if it’s because of the positioning of the original work as “Zi Gongxiang”. Although the crime rate in Japan in this world is extremely high, and although the murderer’s reasons for killing are all kinds of strange, the grudges are resolved after death. In the murder cases of ordinary people, the focus is on various ways of exoneration.

As for the method, the victim is rarely tortured before killing, and sexual harassment against women is also rare.

But very few, not none.

Kitahara Sosuke remembered that Mouri Kogoro's wife, Eri, had been kidnapped. In order to retaliate against Mouri Kogoro, the prisoner almost insulted Eri. Fortunately, the confused detective finally came to his senses and saved his wife at the critical moment.

Conan didn't think too much. He saw the "corpse" on the ground and asked Hattori Heiji: "Did you accidentally see their murder scene, so you were silenced?"

"Well...actually I'm not dead yet..."

Kusunoki, who was lying on the ground pretending to be a corpse, saw that the person coming was a friend of Hattori Heiji. Knowing that the danger was over, he sat up and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Heiji-kun, for getting you involved in such a thing. But.

I really fainted before..."

"Then you just pretended to be dead?" Hattori Heiji didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you reacted quickly, otherwise you might have been killed by them by now. By the way, what happened to these guys?"

Kusunoki said: "I discovered that this barrister has been guiding some figures in the financial world to evade taxes, and he has strong evidence. But I... I have a good impression of Attorney Ito, so I hid the evidence in the bank's insurance

In the closet, I want to persuade her to surrender..."

"Are you an idiot?" Hattori Heiji couldn't help shouting: "You just came to her like this and said you wanted to ruin her reputation. Haven't you ever thought that you would be in danger?"

"Yeah..." Nanmu smiled bitterly: "I'm really too stupid..."

This near-death experience was a profound lesson for him.

While waiting for the police, Kusunoki exchanged the secret codes he had set with Hattori Heiji for a while. Suddenly he noticed that there was one less person around him and said, "Huh? Where is the young man in black clothes just now? Why is he missing?"

"Brother Kitahara said he was impatient to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to take notes, so he left first and told you not to mention him."

Conan, who was enthusiastically guessing the password, heard what the two said and said smoothly.

"Ah?" Hattori Heiji said frustratedly: "Kitahara, this guy is still so elusive. Kazuha, you should remind me... Kazuha?"

The girl's face was slightly red, her hands were clasped, her eyes were blurred, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"What's wrong with her?" Nanmu asked with concern, "Is she scared?"

"Haha, no way, she's as nervous as a gorilla..." Hattori Heiji laughed casually, but he didn't notice that the red color on the face of someone behind him disappeared quickly, but his eyes were almost on fire.

"Hattori Heiji!"

"Bang!"

Conan couldn't bear to cover his eyes, then quietly opened his fingers, looking sympathetically at his friend who was knocked down.

Then he saw Hattori Heiji's evasive eyes.

——Oh ho?

The little detective quickly imagined a series of plots, with a confused smile on his lips.

………………………………

It seems like in the blink of an eye, March 3rd has arrived.

There is no special holiday in school on this day. Haihara Ai and Ayumi still have to go to school. But Kitahara Sosuke has given Sakurako and Kyoko a holiday so that they can enjoy this holiday happily.

Kyoko Asano still has her family, so she naturally goes home to reunite with her family. Sakurako Yonehara's parents died young, and she has always been just a maid in the family where she was adopted, and her relationship with other people is not close. Therefore, Sakurako is a big girl.

I went back early to meet President Wakamatsu, who adopted her, and had already returned to Kitahara's house at noon.

The Dolls' Day dolls specially prepared for her had already been put up at Kitahara's house. Sakurako went to her room, put on her kimono, came out, sat at the table, and lowered her head with a slightly red face.

Usually they are used to wearing kimonos or yukata at home, but today, the girl seemed particularly shy.

Lunch was clam soup and chirashi sushi specially prepared for her by Akita Naoto, as well as diamond-shaped sticky cakes in four colors: red, white, yellow, and green. Kitahara Sosuke felt that whether it tastes good or not is not a matter of taste, the key is the color.

It's very festive when you go up there.

"May our cherry blossoms be as beautiful as cherry blossoms forever!"

"Well, the blessings keep coming!"

"No disease, no disaster!"

"I hope Sakura is safe and well!"

The family gave blessings according to custom, and the girl's eyes were shining like a beloved little princess.

After lunch, in the evening, everyone drove to the park again. The peach blossoms on the trees were like steaming clouds, not inferior to the cherry blossoms that are usually praised. In the park, there were parents in twos and threes taking their daughters, who were dressed up at home, for a walk.

"Kitahara, here, here!"

Kitahara Sosuke heard Mouri Kogoro's loud shouting from a distance. He turned around and saw that the Mouri family and Dr. Agasa had already arrived. Haibara Ai and Mao Lilan both changed into kimonos that they rarely wear.

The older one and the younger one were sitting on the grass, looking a bit more beautiful than usual.

Everyone said hello, Akita and Sakata took the food boxes down from the car, and then placed the dishes on the picnic mat one by one——

Rice Krispies Treats, peach blossom wine, flower sushi, sandwiches, mugwort cakes, sticky cakes, etc., and of course all kinds of exquisite Japanese confectionery are indispensable. In the blink of an eye, a large array of them was displayed, making Kogoro Mori couldn't help but be speechless:

"I know you will prepare picnic cakes, but I don't know you will prepare so many, can you finish them all?"

"Don't worry, there are so many of us." Kitahara Sosuke smiled and gestured: "Except for the peach blossom wine, everything else is made by our family. Give it a try."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Akita!" Mao Lilan and others quickly thanked them.

"Not just me, the young master and the others also helped." Naoto Akita said with a smile. Seeing everyone's admiring expressions after eating the pastries, he smiled, but there was a bit of sadness in his eyes.

——If his child was still alive, would she still be a lovely girl today?

The man felt sad in his heart, but did not show it. He just smiled and watched everyone happily tasting the food, and then went to the river together. Haibara Ai, Mao Lilan, and Yonehara Sakurako chose a place and put down the paper boat.

Watch the little paper dolls float away with the water.

Fireworks were set off somewhere. Huge fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and colorful colors filled the sky and fell like rain.

Miyano Akemi stood under the shade of a tree on the other side of the river, watching from a distance the brown-haired girl looking up at the sky blankly, the black-haired young man guarding her behind like a big tree or a mountain, surrounded by people

People who really love her.

The young man touched the girl's head, lowered his head and said something to her. The girl was stunned and finally showed a happy smile.
Chapter completed!
