"Ah, I know, this is also one of the search routes."
In response to Conan's reminder, Karasawa smiled and nodded and said, "Don't worry, we usually work in pairs when we go out to work. After this incident, the night patrol at the Koban Station has also become a pair.
"
"This world is really not peaceful."
Haiyuan was eating the cake while listening to the conversation between the two. He couldn't help but sigh: "Obviously Christmas is coming soon, but this kind of thing still happens. It feels like Christmas is stained with a trace of blood. Obviously
I just don’t want people to have a good holiday.”
"Well, cases like this always happen inadvertently, but that's why our job exists."
Tang Ze smiled helplessly, then secretly complained and added: "Especially in this world, it would be strange if cases don't happen frequently."
After chatting for a while longer, Tangze stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and left Dr. Ali's residence.
The next time we meet is probably at the Opera House on Christmas Day.
Because the New Year was just two days after Christmas, it was rare for Karasawa and others who had no cases to help decorate the entrance hall.
A screen, a shuriken rope woven with straw, a kadomatsu with pine leaves and bamboo stuck together, shaped like a gourd, and a small orange on it for the mirror cake used to offer sacrifices to the gods.
These things are the representative decorations of neon symbolizing the New Year, and they are the same as the couplets that Karasawa's hometown will always put up during the New Year.
Of course, Neon's New Year's holiday is actually very short. It only lasts for three days from the 1st to the 3rd. Tang Ze estimates that by then the trip home will be almost over.
However, this cannot stop the excitement before the New Year. No matter what happens throughout the year, at least the smiles on people's faces have gradually increased in these two days.
Of course, the Christmas congratulations we are experiencing right now are also indispensable.
This is also a relatively important day in Neon, but what sets off the festive atmosphere is the large and small shops on the street.
Under the banner of Christmas, employees dressed in Santa Claus costumes promoted various discounts on the streets.
Especially eye-catching desserts such as cake shops will set up stalls outside the shop for the convenience of nearby customers to purchase.
Tangze and the others were no exception. They bought a cake and cut it up and ate it together in the office. It was a little break from the busy schedule all year round.
We are all adults, and we don’t have much time to live at home. In addition, due to the unique nature of our work, the friendship between colleagues is also very deep. Unlike other ordinary companies, where there is constant intrigue and intrigue.
That night, because there was no work, everyone in the three departments got off work early. After having dinner together, Karasawa set off to the opera house to meet Ayako and others.
……….
The sun rises very late on winter nights. It's obviously only close to six o'clock, but the sky has already completely plunged into darkness.
But the prosperity of the city and the lights of thousands of houses made the dark night bright and dazzling.
Tonight is Christmas Eve, and people use the excuse of celebrating the holiday to start a nightlife of laughter and laughter.
Countless couples were walking on the street towards their date destinations, and the children were laughing and playing in anticipation of Santa Claus’ gifts.
Even the pregnant mother in the hospital is looking forward to the birth of a new life.
After all, this will save one holiday...
Ahem, just kidding, I am looking forward to good wishes for my children.
"Thank you~"
In the warm pink ward of the hospital, a young woman holding her belly took the water glass handed to her by her husband with a gentle smile on her face.
"How are you? Are you okay? Do you feel okay?" The husband sat on a stool aside and looked at his wife with concern and asked gently.
"It's totally fine~" The girl with a ponytail gently caressed her bulging belly, with a gentle maternal smile on her face.
"By the way, Ryosuke, didn't you agree to do the night cleaning work tonight?" The woman seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at her husband and said, "It's already this hour, isn't it too late to hurry up?
"Well...because the due date is not tomorrow, I thought about it, otherwise I would just ask for leave." The man named Ryosuke looked at his wife and said with concern.
"What are you talking about?" The woman smiled helplessly while holding the cup, "I'm fine, you are too nervous, and didn't you say you agreed to do a night shift? You have to do it well."
"Having said that." Ryousuke rubbed his nose and looked at his wife and said, "But don't you want me to stay with you here?"
"It doesn't matter to me." The considerate wife smiled softly, then put a scarf around her husband, "Which place will you be responsible for cleaning today?"
"There are probably a lot of places to clean." Ryousuke stretched his neck to facilitate his wife's movement and replied, "But there is a bus in front of the opera house to pick us up."
"Then...I'm leaving. I'll come back tomorrow morning." The man said goodbye to his wife with a smile and left.
………
In front of the opera house, I came into the hall at this moment. Before I could carefully search for Ayako and others, I soon heard the enthusiastic shouts from Sonoko, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law~here, here~"
Looking for the source of the sound, Karasawa soon saw Ayako and his party.
However, Mouri Kogoro and Fei Eri, who were expected to appear, did not appear. Instead, they were Kuroki Heiji and Toyama Kazuha from the relationship.
"Today is Christmas, right? Why did you two come to Kanto? Don't you have to spend the holidays with your family anymore?"
When he came to Ayako's side, he was skillfully put on his arm. After holding Rouyi, he smiled and said hello to Ayako. Then Karasawa turned to look at Hattori and Heiji and couldn't help but ask strangely.
"Our dad asked us to visit their friends in Kanto for them, so I came with He Ye."
Hattori Heiji chuckled and explained: "After I was a guest, I went to visit the Mori Detective Agency, but I didn't expect to catch up with the free opera performance. Thank you very much for your hospitality."
"It's okay. My dad doesn't want to come anyway, and my mom works overtime. She only had dinner with me and didn't have time to watch the opera."
Xiaolan smiled and said: "I was still worried about what to do with the tickets Sister Ayako gave me, but just in time you and He Ye came."
"Anyway, thank you for your hospitality. I have always wanted to come to Senshui Opera House to listen to an opera. I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly~"
He Ye smiled and looked at everyone and invited: "When you come to Kansai to play, be sure to contact me. I will entertain you well then."
And while everyone was chatting enthusiastically, Conan also came to the side with three happy little ones.
