"What's going on? Where's your family? Are they around?"
Being hugged by the man in front of him, Miyano Shiho felt that his thinking was getting blurry.
Her body turned into that of a child, and her physical strength became much weaker. Just running such a distance made her exhausted.
Coupled with the side effects of the drugs and the pressure caused by defecting from the organization, her spirit has almost reached its limit.
Realizing that she might lose consciousness soon, she could only place her hope on this random passerby.
The last conversation I had with my sister flashed through my mind.
"Edogawa Conan?"
"That's the boy I mentioned to you last time. Didn't you say you just went to someone's house in Mihua City to handle some matters?"
"Yes, the Kudo Shin family."
"Well, he is a kid from a detective agency near his home. What makes me curious is that this kid is not very old, but he is extremely calm and mature..."
Miyano Shiho recalled what he found when he secretly went to the Kudo Shin family for the second time to conduct a search.
In order to confirm whether Kudo Shinichi was dead, the organization sent people into Kudo's house twice to conduct investigations. The first time they only found dust all over the house, so it came to an end for the time being.
But during the second investigation a month later, she was surprised to find that all the clothes that Kudo Shin wore when he was a child had disappeared within this month.
Combined with the mice that turned into juveniles in the previous experiment, she immediately deduced the possibility that Kudo Shinichi might degenerate into a child.
Now that she herself has become a child, with nowhere to go, she seems to have only one way to go——
That is to find Kudo Shinichi, who may have the same problem as her.
"Kudo...Detective..." Her breath was weak, and after saying these two words intermittently, she could no longer hold on, lost consciousness, and fainted.
Yuan Huaiyu hugged the girl and understood that she wanted him to send her to find the famous detective Kudo Shinichi.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl's face. Her brown hair was wet from the rain and stuck to her face in strands. Her forehead was covered with water drops, both from rain and sweat.
I don't know whether it was because of the coldness caused by being soaked by the rain all over her body or because of the fear in her heart. Her body was trembling slightly, like grass swaying in the wind and rain, which was pitiful.
Yuan Huaiyu quickly took off the white coat that was covered with rain and mud for her, took off his own coat and wrapped it around the girl's body.
Just like that, he stood on the roadside holding an umbrella, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella, and refused to look away from the girl for a moment.
His profound gaze seemed to span a century and two worlds of time and space.
a long time.
"Let's go. I'll send you to where you should go now."
Yuan Huaiyu said softly, for fear of waking up the girl in his arms.
He also thought about taking Miyano Shiho back to live in his home, but in the end he decided to send her to Dr. Agasa's home.
Because he knows that this Kexue world will not allow him to make excessive changes to the world line, and making decisions without authorization may cause unnecessary trouble.
…
When Miyano Shiho opened his eyes again, he was already seeing soft lights and a high ceiling.
"Little girl, you wake up."
A kind voice sounded in my ears.
She sat up suddenly and looked at the source of the sound.
A fat old man with gray hair, beard and eyebrows sat on the sofa nearby and looked at her.
"Where...is this?" She looked around cautiously.
"Ahem...little girl, I am A Li, an inventor, and this is my home."
"Dr. Ali?" She opened her eyes wide.
While organizing the investigation of Kudo Shinichi, it was naturally impossible to miss this neighbor who was said to always be able to make some weird inventions. It was not surprising that Miyano Shiho, who participated in the investigation, had heard of him.
"That means... Kudo Shinichi's home is next door?" She murmured.
"Huh? You know me?" Dr. A Li's tone was full of surprise.
"Of course I know you..." Xiao Zhibo changed the subject, "By the way, was it you who brought me back here?"
The long coma made her memory a little blurry. She only remembered that she seemed to have bumped into someone on the street, and then she fainted with just enough time to say a word.
"No." Dr. Ali shook his head.
"There was someone else who sent you here. He said that you muttered the words Kudo and detective before you passed out, so he thought you meant to send you to the high school detective Kudo Shinichi."
"But no one lives in Kudo's house now, so he sent you to me who lives next door."
"What about others?" Miyano Shiho looked around.
"He has already left. By the way, I almost forgot..."
As if Dr. Ali had remembered something, he hurried into the kitchen and brought out a large pot and a set of bowls and chopsticks.
"That Mr. Yuan made a pot of chicken soup for you. He said that you got caught in the rain and was afraid that you would catch the cold, so he ran out and bought a chicken and brought it back to make the soup."
Dr. Ali served the little girl a bowl of soup and scooped out some pieces of chicken.
"Little girl, where is your family? Do your parents know that you ran away secretly? Where do you live? Take a rest here and I will take you home."
"I have no home or family." Miyano Shiho took a sip of chicken soup and felt that his internal organs were warming up.
"Uh..." Dr. Ali choked suddenly.
Miyano Shiho put down the bowl and stared at Dr. Agasa's face. She knew that the person in front of her could be said to have watched Kudo Shinichi grow up. If anyone knew that Kudo Shinichi had become smaller, Agasa
The Doctor is definitely one of the most likely to be chosen among all.
She decided to take a gamble. After all, she had no other choice but to gamble.
"Has Kudo Shinichi turned into a child?" she asked straightforwardly.
"Gah?!" Dr. Ali almost jumped up when he heard this.
The girl smiled, and from Dr. A Li's reaction, she knew she had guessed correctly.
…
"So, you are going to live here with me?"
Dr. Ali wiped her sweat and looked at the girl who was slowly drinking chicken soup and eating chicken, finally digesting all the information she just heard.
"It doesn't matter to me. I have no children. It would be nice to have someone with me if I live alone. But..."
"Thank you very much." Miyano Shiho put down his bowl, stood up, and bowed to Dr. Agasa seriously.
"Just what?"
"If you want to live like a primary school student, wouldn't it be better to choose a new name?"
Dr. Ali said seriously.
"...That's right." Miyano Shiho was stunned for a moment, "Why don't you...get one for me?"
"Well?"
Now Dr. Ali was a little embarrassed.
He carefully searched his mind for material for a name.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, patted his head, and thought of the name Shinichi had given himself in desperation.
Since the name Edogawa Conan is related to two detective writers, why not learn from this idea?
"I want to think about combining Gray from the female detective Cordelia Gray and I from V.I. Woscowsky..."
"Just call it...Haihara Ai, how about it?"
"sorrow."
"Um?"
"Love seems too far away for me now. Let's call me...Haihara Ai."
