The quiet moon hung in the night sky. Another police officer who was following the ward changed his guard outside the ward and yawned in a sleepy way, took out the wind oil and wiped it cruelly on his eyes.

In the ward, the little girl sleeping on the bed breathed for a long time, and her light purple eyes suddenly opened. There was no trace of sleepiness inside, and there was a light halo.

She sat up from the hospital bed, looked at Youyue outside the window with expressionless face, changed to a cross-sitting position, put her hands on her knees, facing the moon outside the window, and closed her eyes.

......

"Xiao Ai, is it okay for you to be alone? Or should I accompany you?" Officer Sato looked at Alice in the hospital uniform with concern.

Alice shook her head, "I can go to the bathroom alone."

"Is that so? Then I'll call the doctor to prepare for the next physical examination first. Remember to go back to the ward and don't run around after going to the toilet!" Officer Sato reminded him worriedly.

Just this morning, when the person she protected woke up, when asked if she had remembered anything, the other party suddenly said that she had remembered some clips. She quickly called the psychological counselor to ask further, but after chatting, she found that the other party remembered more about common sense in life and very little about life experience.

But at least they could live a normal life, they were relieved.

It is not suitable for Alice to send her to a welfare home in this situation, not to mention that there is a murderer who has not been arrested for a long time in secret, so they cannot send Alice to a new family.

What if the other party catches the opportunity and attacks this angel-like child?

Alas, it would be great if Senior Matsuda was here at this time. Unfortunately, the other party has been on a business trip in the United States recently and it will take some time to come back.

Officer Sato went to contact Alice for further inspection with concern.

Alice looked at the billboard posted above the corridor. After judging the direction, she held the wall and prepared to turn.

"Bang!"

Alice was caught off guard and collided with the tough "wall" and sat unsteadily on the ground.

"Um!" The pain made Alice's eyes red instantly.

Another culprit who bumped into her quickly helped the person up from the ground, his vibrant voice full of annoyance: "Sorry, sorry! I left too quickly and didn't slow down!"

Alice raised her head and the person who bumped into her was a teenager in a sportswear with a spiky short pink hair and a black bottom of her hair.

The boy's light pink eyes were filled with worry and apologies, and Alice shook her head slowly: "I'm fine."

"Sorry, little sister, it hurts your wound, right?" The boy was a little panicked when he noticed that the bandage wrapped around Alice's hands under her sleeves in her wide hospital gown had begun to seep out a faint red color.

"Your wound seems to be cracked! I'd better ask a doctor to help you take a look again!"

"It's okay, the blood has stopped. Big brother, you seem to be in a hurry. You'd better do your business first." Alice only felt a stinging pain everywhere on her wounds, and she was not feeling whether she was bleeding or not.

The boy pursed his lips and said with a serious expression: "Thank you, I really have something urgent... By the way, my name is Yuren, Konoha. If your wound needs to be rebanded because I cracked, please contact me!"

"Well, big brother, please leave quickly." She really wants to go to the bathroom now!

Yukino Konoha hurriedly left, and Alice continued to head towards her target.

In the afternoon, after the physical examination results came out, Alice met the girl named Ran Maori who rescued her, and her father, who was said to be a very famous detective, Kogoro Maori.

"Dad, she is Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai is very pitiful. We should adopt her before the criminal was arrested?" Maoriran clasped her hands together and looked at her father beggingly.

"Ha? You know that there is already a stinky little guy at home, and I can't stand it if I have another one." Kogoro Mouri had a stinky face and looked unhappy.

"Dad! Please! Xiao Ai's situation is not suitable for finding a new family for her or sending it to a welfare home."

Kogoro Mori looked at Alice, who looked like a doll, and approached her daughter's ear and whispered: "What if her family can't be found? You know, Conan's little kid's family still paid accommodation fees at least. Our life is not prosperous at all, let's have another one..."

"Do you need money?"

Although Kogoro Mouri lowered his voice, Alice's transparent eyes were staring at them, which clearly heard the other person's words.

Kogoro Mouri felt guilty, but... thinking of the business that he had not had at all recently, and even his daughter's living expenses could only be maintained by working on her own, Kogoro Mouri's heart swayed violently.

Just, I feel quite guilty...

"Dad!" Ran Maori gave a fierce look at her stubborn old father and said apologetically: "Sorry, Xiao Ai, don't care what my father said..."

"If you are short of money, I can help."

Alice interrupted Ran Maori, and the father and daughter were both stunned.

"ha?"

After a while, in the disapproval of Officer Sato's eyes when he saw the scum, the three big and one small came to the gambling horse farm.

"Then, that, Xiao Ai, why are we here?" Maori's mouth twitched slightly.

"I saw on TV that betting on horses seems to be the fastest way to make money. It just so happens that there is still an hour before the second half, and the purchase of horse tickets has not yet ended." Alice stared at the hanging TV screen, explaining the players and horses that are about to start the next game, and she already had a judgment in her mind.

"Officer Sato, can you borrow 50,000 yen?" Alice looked at Officer Sato, "I will give you 100,000 yen later."

"Hey?!" Officer Sato was stunned.

Kogoro Mouri was still wondering why the child was coming here, but suddenly heard this and almost bit his tongue.

"I said you little dear, do you know that the risk of betting on horses is very high?" The adult who was obviously gambling was trying to teach the future seedlings a lesson.

"It's here." Alice said without looking at Kogoro Mouri and looked at Officer Sato.

Officer Sato faced Alice's determined eyes, his heart softened, and he took out his wallet, "Okay, I'll lend it to you. But there's no need for one hundred thousand, just give me the original amount of money."

She walked to the staff and asked Alice: "Which one should I buy?"

"No. 13." Alice said without hesitation.

"13? The meaning of this number is not good at all. You little destined to be wasted." Kogoro Mouri mocked, and Ran Mouri pulled his sleeve aside.

"Dad, you said! If it weren't for your little ai, how could it have come!"

"snort!"

Kogoro Mouri glanced at him and insisted that he should never give him another thought of dragging him down.

It is OK to protect it for the time being, but it is impossible to adopt it forever!

However, this firm idea lasted until the beginning and end of the afternoon race, and he changed his mind instantly.

"Sprinted and sprinted! The first place in the horse racing in this game is about to appear! Ah! It appears!"

"The one who won the final game was No. 13!"

Hearing the expected result, Alice looked at the three people who were stunned by her, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I said, I will win."
