Conan: I want to live a leisurely life with Xiaoai

Chapter 30

The time has come to night.

The sun has just set its only light, and the moon under the night sky is gradually rising.

The detective team also came to the Daduma News Agency, but Conan first proposed to call the police before going to the counterfeit money group, and the detective team agreed.

They came to the police station next door to call the police, but the two policemen in front of the door really didn't believe what the detective team said.

"Didn't we make it very clear? The people from the newspaper office next door kidnapped his brother and forced him to make counterfeit money here."

Yuan Tai looked angrily at the two policemen in front of him.

"Pfft, hahahaha, no... no, little brother, have you watched too many movies?"

One of the policemen couldn't help laughing.

"What we said is true, please believe us, okay?"

Ayumi's voice was crying, which sounded very pitiful.

"Okay, okay, it's getting late now, you can all go home to rest and sleep, don't disturb your brothers' work."

Another policeman smiled faintly and waved the detective team out of the police station.

Sure enough, it's because we are children that we can't do it?
It seems that I can only ask for clarification...

Conan looked at Qian Ming, but Qian Ming had been chatting with Xiao Ai all the time, completely ignoring what happened to Conan and the others.

Alas~ I can only go to police officer Megure by myself...

Conan sighed and was speechless, and Conan remembered Police Officer Megure, and he warned the detective team.

"You guys stay here and don't run around! Ming...you remember to keep an eye on them!"

"Understood! You go away!"

Qian Ming waved Conan away dissatisfied, then turned his head back into a smile, and casually took out a bento box containing Xiao Ai's favorite sandwiches from behind and handed it to Xiao Ai.

"Haihara-san, this is the bento I made this morning, you can eat it if you are hungry!"

Xiao Ai noticed a very miraculous thing. She was surprised to see that Qian Ming didn't have any backpack or carrying items on him. How did he take out a box of lunch boxes containing sandwiches out of thin air?
"No...thank you, Xiao Ming."

But Xiao Ai didn't think too much about it, and subconsciously wanted to reject Qian Ming's lunch box, but she suddenly remembered what Qian Ming had said to her in the evening, so she had no choice but to accept the lunch box Qian Ming gave her, and thanked her.

Xiao Ai took out a sandwich from the bento box, took a small bite, and slowly chewed the sandwich with no expression on her face.

But Xiao Ai's heart is happy, because the sandwich made by Qian Ming is Xiao Ai's favorite flavor of peanut butter and blueberry jam sandwich.

Although Qianming at the side saw Xiao Ai eating the sandwich with a blank face, he knew that Xiao Ai was eating the sandwich very happily in his heart, so he came to Xiao Ai and asked.

"Haihara-san, is the sandwich I made delicious?"

"not bad…"

That means...it's delicious!
"Can I have a slice?"

"can."

Qian Ming reached out to take a piece of sandwich from the bento box, and he continued to ask cheerfully.

"Can I call you Xiao Ai?"

"Okay... um!?"

Xiao Ai, who was eating a sandwich, turned her head to look at Qian Ming in surprise, because now Xiao Ai feels that she is a traitor to the organization and a disaster star, and there will definitely be many people in black looking for her, or everything that comes into contact with her will happen Unexpectedly, she was afraid of bringing her danger to Qian Ming and the others.

But Qian Ming doesn't care about these titles that Xiao Ai has, he only cares that he must give Xiao Ai a complete family, friendship and even love in the future.

So when Qian Ming heard Xiao Ai's agreement, he immediately happily called Xiao Ai's name, and then he tightly held Xiao Ai's hand who was in a daze and walked slowly towards the detective team.

Because Yuan Tai was whispering to the detective team, as if he wanted to sneak into the news agency behind Qian Ming's back to find the evidence of the prisoners, these words naturally couldn't escape Qian Ming's ears, he came to the detective team and asked.

"Where are you guys going? Take us with you too!"

"Uh... that's fine, let's go upstairs to find evidence together while Conan isn't here! Otherwise, we'll be taking credit for Conan again..."

Yuan Tai thought that Qian Ming was going to stop him, but he saw that Qian Ming didn't do so, so he also invited Qian Ming to go up together.

Wait...Xiao Ming, didn't the guy in the experiment tell you to keep an eye on them?

Why did you follow along?
Xiao Ai, who was held by Qian Ming, looked at him puzzled, but she didn't break free from Qian Ming's warm hand.

Ayumi on the side wanted to follow Conan's words to prevent them from going up, but Motota didn't listen to Ayumi's words, so he took Mitsuhiko, the client, and Chiaki upstairs together.

Qian Ming also took Xiao Ai who was on the side to go to the news agency building, and Ayumi, who was afraid of being alone, had no choice but to follow her.

At the entrance of the stairs, Xiao Ai, who was slowly walking up the stairs, had already let go of Qian Ming's hand. Qian Ming didn't care about it. He hasn't cultivated a good relationship yet, but he won't in the future.

I saw his dull hair slightly curled up, and with a slight lift of his finger, a different space door made of lightning appeared between the stairs behind the detective team, and an orange-haired boy walked out of it.

... 8.18 ...

In the building of Otoma News Agency.

The second floor.

Yuan Tai took Qian Ming and his group behind him to the second floor, and found one of the doors on the floor. His ear was close to the door. There seemed to be no sound behind that door. Yuan Tai opened it and walked in. There was literally no one in the room.

"There's no one here... Could it be that Conan made a mistake?"

"Indeed... there isn't even a single counterfeit note here..."

Mitsuhiko began to grope around to find counterfeit banknotes, while Qianming looked at the surrounding environment and noticed a table with many newspapers spread out.

He came to the table and directly took out a large sheet of counterfeit banknotes hidden under the newspaper and said.

"Look here, there are a lot of [-] yen bills under these newspapers..."

"Wow~ I really have a lot of money!" Ayumi said with bright eyes.

"How many bowls of eel rice can you buy with so much money..." Yuan Tai said drooling.

"But... why is Fukuzawa Yukichi's left eye missing from all the [-] yen?" Mitsuhiko asked suspiciously.

"If my guess is correct... it should be that once the left eye is painted on these counterfeit banknotes, these counterfeit banknotes will be done, right?"

Qian Ming touched his chin and said lightly.

Xiao Ai on the side has been observing Qian Ming's doubts. She has found that Qian Ming has become smaller like them, but there is a high probability that it is not APTX4869 made by Xiao Ai, because she is not on the death list in the organization. I didn't see any information about Ariaki Ariaki, and there was no orange-haired person on the death list.

"It's like a tumbler... Once the eyes are painted on, it becomes a complete counterfeit."

Qian Ming looked at a large sheet of counterfeit banknotes in his hand and said indifferently.

"This little brother is right..."

A woman's voice came from the door, and everyone heard the sound and looked, only to see a woman in black clothes holding a pistol at the detective team and them, and there were two other people behind the woman.

When the detective team saw the pistol in the woman's hand, they almost instinctively took a few steps back and hid behind Qian Ming. Qian Ming blinked his blue eyes, looked at the woman and said suspiciously.

"Who are you?"

"Pull his brother out, let's have a scene where the brothers reunite, and witness this touching scene."

The woman in black smiled lightly, ignored Qian Ming's question, turned her head and said to one of the people behind her.

The bearded man behind the woman dragged the client's brother in.

"younger brother!"

"elder brother!"

The client is still a child now, totally unaware of the seriousness of the matter, he ran to his brother with tears all over his face, and was caught as a hostage in the end.

Another man behind the woman walked towards the detective team, reaching out to grab Xiao Ai next to him.

Xiao Ai was a little frightened when she saw the woman in black, because she thought of those people in the organization, and her body couldn't help shaking, thinking that she was the one who caused the accident to the people around her again, and when she saw the man in front of her, she was shocked. Wanting to reach out to grab her, subconsciously took a few steps back, she tightly closed her eyes and waited for the fate of being caught.

Because of Qian Ming, Xiao Ai's position is not far from those bad guys, so he first catches Xiao Ai who is closest.

But how could Qian Ming let him succeed?

"Don't touch the people I picked up!"

Snapped!
Qian Ming immediately appeared in front of Xiao Ai, slapped the man's hand away forcefully, and stood in front of Xiao Ai with an angry face to protect her.

The appearance of Qian Ming seemed to be like a lighting lamp, adding a ray of light to the extreme darkness in the depths of her heart behind her. Xiao Ai's face was originally pale and confused, but it instantly regained some ruddy, warm and relaxed feeling.

Under the protection of Qian Ming, Xiao Ai seemed to have an additional path in her heart that was illuminated by the lights, and it was a path that could lead to peace and happiness.

This is the road that she wanted to touch many times in her heart, but the reality is cruel, because the existence of the organization made her unable to extricate herself.

But now that she had escaped, she finally had a chance to touch that ray of light again, but she was still very afraid of danger befalling them, so she withdrew her hand again and continued to endure the lonely darkness.

Sure enough... I'm still too timid, and I can't stretch out my hand to live a peaceful life like them.

Sister... As a disaster star, why does Xiao Ming treat me so well...

The negative emotions in Xiao Ai's heart appeared again, she looked at Qian Ming's back and thought silently.
