Having nothing to do, I had to go back to rest. Shizuo Komemon returned to the apartment and was about to open the door when he received an email from Hattori's butler.
The content inside is mainly a report by Hattori's housekeeper, including the old man's reaction to the two more eldest granddaughters, and the agreement that Ayako will go back with the children next week.
"He must be Hattori-san. He has a very stable attitude toward the old man."
Shizuo Komemon couldn't help but sigh, it was just right now, he didn't even have to think of ways to arrange the "organized radar" detection, which was really considerate.
Put away your phone, forget all those messy worries, and open the door.
In just a few breaths, Suzuki Ayako, who came after hearing the sound, appeared in front of her. The surprise smile on her face made her heart warm.
There is someone looking forward to your return, and that feeling is indescribable peace. People who live alone experience this most deeply, and Shizuo Komemon happens to be like this.
"Shui-kun, don't you need to work overtime tonight?" Suzuki Ayako asked while getting slippers from the shoe cabinet.
"Well, no need. The case went better than expected. Where are the two of them? Already asleep?"
Shizuo Komemon put on his slippers and glanced at the living room, but did not see Ai Haibara or Akemi Xiao.
"It's getting late. Although both children said they were not sleepy, I heard that children should sleep more, so I urged them to take a bath and go to bed."
"That's it, then...have you taken a shower?" Shizuo Komemon looked at Suzuki Ayako and asked knowingly.
The latter was wearing pajamas, with the neckline slightly open, and his hair, which was still a little wet, looked very dark, which highlighted his flawless white skin.
Suzuki Ayako fluttered her eyelashes twice, gently covered her mouth with her bare hands, tilted her head and thought, "I don't really remember."
"Then it's probably because it hasn't been washed, right?"
"Is it possible? Then I'll prepare the bath water." Suzuki Ayako couldn't help laughing.
Half an hour later, Shizuo Komemon, who had simply eaten a late-night snack, sat on the small bench in the bathroom, waiting for the same back rub service as before.
However, compared to last time, the shaky bath towel is even more difficult to hang. I don’t know why it has to be hung in a dangerous place. It is obviously easy to fall.
The clouds and mist near the snow-capped mountains obscure the view and make it difficult to see clearly, but this makes people more daydreaming. When leaning on it, the slightly cool touch makes people feel irritated and all their depression is calmed down.
A pair of meticulous arms wandering around makes people can't help but let their minds wander, as if they were falling into a dream.
After busying for a long time, Suzuki Ayako started to sweat lightly on her forehead. She stopped moving, put her chin on Shizuo Komemon's shoulder, leaned into his ear, and murmured in a somewhat coquettish voice:
"My hands are a little sore."
"How about we stop here today?"
Due to physical problems, Komemon Shizuo did not dare to move, and the scene was like a green snake disturbing Fahai's practice.
One is sitting upright, and the other is boneless, leaning against and entangled like vines.
"That would be hard work for Jing-kun, right?"
Suzuki Ayako thought for a while, her cheeks were flushed, she slightly poked her head, bit the other person's ear, and then her breathing became slightly faster.
Just adding a little extra breath into the ear, the effect was surprisingly good. Finally, before she could no longer lift her wrist, she finished the long-delayed back rub task.
…
"I'm taking the two of them to see the old man next week. Do you have time?"
A refreshed Shizuo Komemon opened the room of the Haibara sisters, glanced at the sleeping two, turned around and said to Suzuki Ayako.
"No problem, Uncle Gu Meimen will definitely like them." Suzuki Ayako said with a smile.
The two sisters who were pretending to be asleep saw the door closed and then secretly opened their eyes in the dark room.
Haiyuan Ai's round face was slightly hot, and she complained faintly: "They knew we were here, but they still did such a bold thing. Do they really think we can't discover it?"
Xiao Mingmei said with some humor: "Isn't this normal? Parents with children at home always wait until their children fall asleep before making love."
"Is that so?" Haiyuan Ai frowned, she didn't have this kind of "common sense".
Xiao Mingmei touched her sister's face and recalled what happened in her childhood. At that time, her parents had not yet joined the organization and were still running their own clinic.
"Yes, before you were born, my parents often put me to sleep first, and then the two of us secretly left to make out.
They thought I didn't notice it, but in fact I noticed it, I just didn't understand what they were doing at the time."
At this point, Xiao Mingmei couldn't help but laugh, "Then, it didn't take long for you, Ai-chan."
Hui Yuan Ai had an embarrassed expression. Hearing his origin, even if he thought of his parents, he couldn't feel sad for a while.
"Go to bed early. Didn't you say you're going to Yokosuka to hunt for treasure tomorrow?" Xiao Mingmei hugged her sister tightly and patted her shoulder gently.
"That's what happened in the afternoon." Haiyuan Ai muttered and closed his eyes with an inexplicable mood.
…
The next day, Shizuo Komemon left the apartment early and went to work. Since living with Ayako, the number of times he slept in became less and less.
If you think about it carefully, it probably has something to do with having expectations.
I didn't have any goals before, and I didn't have anything particularly worth caring about. My greatest pleasure was to bask in the sun and sleep in. I didn't have the motivation to wake up so early.
Things are different now. If you can see the person you care about when you open your eyes, then you will naturally be willing to wake up earlier.
For some people, getting up early to play games and do tasks has a similar effect.
Arriving at the Metropolitan Police Department, Shizuo Komemon saw three people with dark circles under their eyes, "You must have been busy all night last night, right?"
As he said that, he placed today's snacks prepared by Ayako on the desk. Today is practice cutting. The ingredients are very simple, only glutinous rice flour, sugar and beans, but the shape is very beautiful.
"Don't mention it." Miwako Sato picked up a rabbit-shaped piece, stuffed it into her mouth, puffed her cheeks and said:
"Last night, when Kyousuke Futo heard that he might not be sentenced to death, he secretly thought of a way to commit suicide in the middle of the night. Fortunately, his limbs had just been treated by a doctor and he couldn't use any strength at all, so he was able to move to the window."
"Before that, he refused treatment and had been in trouble for a long time." Shiratori Rensaburo held his chin, his eyelids twitching.
"What's going on over there at the Mukai?" Shizuo Komemon looked at Takagi Wataru.
Takagi Wataru shook his head, "After arriving at the stronghold where the suspect confessed, it was already too late. The building was already empty."
"I guess that's the case." Shizuo Komemon wasn't surprised, otherwise he wouldn't have gone back to rest last night instead of going to destroy the Nikai stronghold. "Then the task of Section 4 will follow."
"Gu Meimen Police Department." Sato Miwako suddenly looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
"I..." Sato Miwako opened her mouth but stopped talking.
She had been thinking about a question last night. If the Gumeimen Police Department could easily solve the case a year ago, would there be any chance for her father's case?
But that was already eighteen years ago, and it was even more difficult.
"Gumeimen Police Department, the management officer is looking for you!" Suddenly someone pushed open the office and shouted.
"You go first, my matter is not urgent." Miwako Sato said quickly when she saw this.
Shizuo Komemon had no way of knowing what she was thinking, so he just pretended that it was nothing important and got up to go to the administrator's office.
