However, Haiyuan Ai looked over cautiously and found that it was different from what he imagined.
The person at the door of the hospital was not a suspicious man in black, but a young girl wearing a beige trench coat. She was startled when she heard the sound of the iron mailbox, and before Jiang Xia had time to speak, she swooped out.
, fled the scene.
By the time Jiang Xia and Hui Yuan Ai reached the entrance of the courtyard, the figure had already fled far away and quickly disappeared around the corner.
"...?" Jiang Xia looked at the figure with no murderous intent and no ghost hanging on its calf. He was confused for a while and then remembered. He always had a good memory, "It was a colleague he met when he was working at a burger house...
…The employee registration form there requires you to fill in your address, and she was the senior who led us to fill in the form, so she should have remembered the address at that time.”
Haibara Ai:"……"
She took out her handkerchief and secretly wiped the cold sweat from the fright. At the same time, she glanced at Jiang Xia disapprovingly: Jiang Xia works in an organization, her identity is inherently sensitive, and she is a public figure. It is safer to fill in a false address. Or at least fill it out.
Enter your work address, such as that detective agency. Otherwise, if you meet a bad person...
Wait, Jiang Xia's organization seems to be full of bad guys. He probably isn't afraid of this...
While thinking about it, Hui Yuan Ai looked at the mailbox next to him with a slightly speechless gaze - when the girl was wandering outside the door just now, Hai Yuan Ai vaguely saw her fiddling there, as if she had put down something.
…
Soon, Haiyuan Ai walked out of the yard, squatted down, and picked up a gift box from the ground.
The box is about the size of two palms, packaged in light pink and criss-crossed with golden ribbons. The girl just now seemed to want to stuff it into the mailbox, but the mailbox was already full, and even the top of the mailbox had no space. In the end, this flat gift box was just
Could have fallen to the ground.
Combined with today's day, think about what just happened.
Haihara Ai suddenly understood: "Today is Valentine's Day... I originally wanted to make chocolates in the morning, but something like that happened last night and I forgot to do it."
Jiang Xia: "...?"
He took out his mobile phone and clicked it. He glanced at the date and found that it was Valentine's Day again before he knew it. Time really flies by. What about the other festivals in between? Those should also be periods of high incidence of cases...
Jiang Xia sighed slightly sadly and looked at the pile of chocolates at the door of her home.
These were secretly released after 0 o'clock. The gift-givers were probably a group of girls or women who did not have murderous intentions. They stopped at the door for a while and then left. They did not enter the house, so the ghosts did not notice it, or they may have discovered it.
But I don’t think it’s necessary to say it.
If this continues, by the next Valentine's Day, you will have to put a sign in front of your home in advance, indicating that chocolates are not accepted here. If you want to send chocolates, you can send them to Amuro Detective Agency - that way, when the boss goes there, you can
Grab a coolie to help carry the chocolate bricks.
…
Chocolates can't always be piled up at the door or in the mailbox.
Haiyuan Ai helped Jiang Xia move the chocolates in front of her house into the house. In addition, considering that it was just morning, Valentine's Day had not completely started yet. She and Jiang Xia made a small sign indicating where to store the chocolates, and posted it on the door.
, stick firmly.
After instinctively helping with the work, Haihara Ai remembered the previous business again.
She wanted to find out about the man in black last night.
However, just as he opened his mouth, there was another movement at the gate.
——This time, it was not the sound of the mailbox lid opening and closing, but the sound of the doorbell being rang.
It was an acquaintance who came.
While ringing the doorbell, he tried the courtyard door with his feet. He found that the door was unlocked, so he consciously pushed the door open and came in.
Hui Yuan Ai silently looked at Conan who was approaching: "..."
Conan glanced at her doubtfully and then at Jiang Xia. For some reason, he felt that he had come at the wrong time.
He looked at the children's clothes that Hui Yuan Ai was wearing in surprise, thinking that she was here to show off her new clothes to Jiang Xia, so he politely complimented her: "You look pretty good today."
"..."
One second later.
For some reason, Haiyuan Ai pressed her fluffy skirt and looked at her with even more fierce eyes.
Conan: "...?"
He touched the back of his head in confusion, feeling that it was very difficult to guess the woman's thoughts, so he simply stopped guessing.
Conan looked at Jiang Xia with a solemn expression and a hint of embarrassment: "Um, are you free today?"
"Yes." Jiang Xia nodded quickly.
Conan glanced at him with a touch of emotion: Jiang Xia was obviously about to go out in his current outfit. But he probably realized that he needed help, so he immediately said he was free...Jiang Xia is really interesting to her friends.
Next to her, Haihara Ai also secretly pricked up her ears: Conan occasionally has some serious business, and his incident constitution is also very strong, and he always encounters things related to the organization... Now that he suddenly came, could it be the same as last night?
Is it related to the Men in Black?
Haibara Ai pinched his chin and fell into deep thought: If the man in black knew that Haibara Ai = Shirley, then after mastering the extremely important information "Adults can become smaller", he would like to deduce "Kudo Shinichi = Conan"
"In fact, it's not difficult at all. It just depends on whether he pays attention to those high school detectives.
Under the watchful eyes of Jiang Xia and Hui Yuan Ai.
Conan looked confused and hesitated for a while, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "It's like this - last night, Xiaolan made some handmade chocolates in the kitchen."
The keyword "last night" immediately aroused Haihara Ai's vigilance.
She nodded and prepared to continue listening - maybe Mao Lilan ran out of ingredients when she was making chocolate, so she and Conan went to a 24-hour convenience store to buy them. As a result, they happened to meet the mysterious man in black who exuded an organizational atmosphere.
man?
...But, wait. In Conan's eyes, Jiang Xia seems to have nothing to do with the black organization. Haiyuan Ai frowned, feeling that he had guessed the direction of the matter, but at the same time, he felt that something was wrong.
Then she heard Conan lower his voice and then said solemnly:
"I made chocolates on the eve of Valentine's Day, and I must have planned to give them away, but when I asked, she actually said they were not for 'Kudo Shinichi'. So I, ahem, used a little bit of technology again..." Conan felt guilty.
He fiddled with the bow of the voice changer in his pocket and said, "I went to Sonoko to inquire about the situation - and then I learned that they were actually going to attend a party held by someone else on Valentine's Day. The chocolates were prepared for that."
Haibara Ai:"……?"
……That's it?
"..." She recalled her speculation just now and felt that the matter should not be so simple, because Conan's face looked very serious.
Haiyuan Ai confirmed without giving up: "Then what?"
