Hui Yuan Ai dug out the hamster's small cage from a corner of the room, cleaned it inside and out, and then filled it with food. Watching the hamster's cheeks gradually swell, she let out a long sigh of relief.
Kuroki Jin stood behind him and sighed at the tenacious vitality of this hamster.
"Take it away." He also knew that he might not be suitable for raising animals. A larger one would be fine. He forgot about such a small thing when he got busy. "Put it here with me so that it won't starve to death."
I was also depressed after being detained.”
Haiyuan groaned, she would take it away without him having to say anything.
It was already getting late, so the two of them said good night to each other and went to bed separately.
It was summer vacation, so Haiyuan Ai didn't have to get up early the next day, and she didn't have to go to any cram school. She just spent three days at home lazily.
Today is the opening ceremony of Sindora [Cocoon]. Early in the morning, Kuroki Jin sent Haibara to the Mori Detective Agency. Sonoko, who had gathered here, took them into the venue together.
"I'm sorry, I can't go in with you." Kuroki Ren looked at Haihara Ai with some apology.
"I thought about it, it doesn't matter." Haiyuan Ai knew that he must have something important to attend such an event, and he did not go with her to protect her safety.
"I'll pick you up when it's over." Kuroki Ren's eyes were filled with joy.
Hui Yuan Ai looked at him strangely, and although she threw cold water on him, she still said, "The doctor told me that he will be back today."
"Ah..." Kuroki Ren looked regretful.
"When it's over, I'll go pick up the hamster from your house."
"Okay." Kuroki Ren suddenly beamed with joy.
He really looks like a child. Haiyuan Ai muttered to himself, opened the car door, and waved to him.
"I'll watch you go up." Kuroki Ren saw her entering the room and then drove away.
He had dressed in formal clothes before setting off. Now he put on the badge on his chest and went directly to the venue.
Haibara Ai was the last one to arrive at the detective agency. She saw Conan's teasing look as soon as she entered the door. Her expression moved slightly and she ignored him for the time being. After saying hello to Mouri Kogoro, she was surrounded by Ayumi and others.
Chatting about the clothes we wore today.
This grand opening ceremony invited senior officials from the political, business, and police circles to participate. It was relatively formal, and naturally you could not attend casually.
Even Suzuki Sonoko was not careless here. Instead, she dressed up in an evening gown and looked very ladylike.
You will know what virtue is as soon as you open your mouth.
"Wow, everyone is here. My driver is already in place. Let's set off!"
"Oh - let's go!"
Uncle Maoli was desperate: "Why should I follow them..."
Mao Lilan grabbed her father and pushed him out.
As soon as Kuroki Jin parked the car, a staff member came out to take the key and led him through two security checks into the venue.
"Who do I think I am, can I enter this kind of situation with any identity now?"
A small child's voice sounded, and Kuroki Ren lowered his eyes and saw a proud young man in a red suit speaking disdainfully.
"I also got the qualification for the game, tsk." The young man curled his lips dissatisfied, "The wild dog on the roadside was lucky enough to find a good owner and wanted to rise from the bottom, but he didn't know that he was just a piece of fat among the wolves... ugh!"
After being slapped on the back of his head, Hideki Morohoshi was about to scold him, but when he saw the person who slapped him, he immediately became silent and did not dare to say anything.
"Hideki Wuju, Mr. Kuroki, please forgive me."
"Police Inspector Zhuxing." Kuroki Jin nodded and said hello: "You're a kid, it's okay."
"Who is..." Morohoshi Hideki wanted to say something else, but his grandfather's loving touch increased the intensity, causing him to swallow back the second half of the sentence.
"Then we'll excuse you now." Shifu Morohoshi took his grandson into the venue first. Jin Kuroki smiled and didn't take this kind of incident seriously.
This group of second and third generations grew up doted on by their parents and elders, so it is normal for them to be a little crooked. He will hardly have to deal with them in the future, so there is no need to worry too much about making them enemies.
On the contrary, Hideki Morohoshi, who was led in, received a scolding from his grandfather.
Hideki Morohoshi looked dissatisfied.
"I asked about everyone who got the badge, but there was no one like him." Shifu Morohoshi pointed out his favorite grandson, "Either there was someone who couldn't come to transfer it to him at the moment, or it was behind his back.
Even I can't find out the channel. No matter what kind of person it is, we'd better stay away from this kind of person."
Morohoshi Hideki nodded as if he didn't understand, but on the surface he was well-behaved, but in his heart he wanted to test it out later.
Shio Morohoshi took his grandson to his unreliable playmates with peace of mind, while he took a glass of wine and went to socialize.
Morohoshi Hideki told him what had just happened with a look of annoyance on his face, and encouraged his friends to go over there later and give him a showdown.
Kuroki Jin had no idea about this matter. Even if he knew about it, he would probably laugh it off, treating it as a child's prank and not take it seriously.
He found a glass of juice that looked very much like wine and wandered around the venue, catching a staff member asking for directions to the lounge where the performance was waiting.
"Lan Chuan, you look a little nervous."
In the lounge, his companion joked while adjusting his guitar. Opposite him, Touya Aikawa, who was stroking the bass, frowned upon hearing this.
"It's just that the people sitting below today are either rich or noble, and some are impatient." His voice was extremely gentle, and if you didn't mention it, you wouldn't know that he was a rock musician.
"Then you still have to change instruments with me." The companion raised his eyebrows slightly, "In this case, if you don't use your more skilled guitar, what should you do if you play it wrong on the stage?"
"Okay Youchi, let's go with Lan Chuan. You see when he has messed up things before."
"Okay, okay." Youchi said helplessly: "You guys have given him so many of his ideas."
"Haha, if he has any good ideas, aren't you the first to agree? Youchi."
The room suddenly burst into laughter, and Lan Chuan was also affected by the atmosphere and no longer immersed in his own nervousness.
"I'm going out for a moment." He shook his phone, indicating that someone was looking for him.
"Come back quickly, we will be on stage soon." Youchi, while playing with the drummer, also asked Lan Chuan.
Lan Chuan waved his hand and went out. The corridor was silent, which was in sharp contrast to the inside of the door.
He turned a corner and saw the man's back at the entrance of the safe passage.
"Potter." Lan Chuan suppressed his smile, "Why are you looking for me..."
Kuroki Ren waved his hand and stood inside, asking Lan Chuan to stand closer so as not to be bumped into by anyone passing by.
"It's not what you think, it's nothing." He first dispelled Lan Chuan's doubts, "I just happened to be here to attend the opening ceremony, just to see if you are okay with it."
"There's nothing uncomfortable about it." Lan Chuan smiled bitterly, "After all, I've been practicing for several years, and I can still play the bass very well."
"Where's the guitar?"
Lan Chuan: "..."
He sighed and said sincerely: "Potter, next time there is an occasion like this, can you ask 'him' to come?" Anyway, it was just a performance, and it wasn't like he had anything to do.
"The son of the chief inspector of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department told me that he wanted to meet you, and I made arrangements." Kuroki Jin said, "You two can get acquainted with each other after today's meeting."
Lan Chuan nodded and said, "I understand." He paused, then hesitated and said, "The formation is level..."
"He is working as a junior for your good friend in Gunma County, and his life is quite happy."
Lan Chuan thought about his friend's character and silently prayed for him.
"Scotland... Jingguang," Kuroki Jin looked at him seriously, "These days are coming to an end."
