Conan's other me

Chapter 181 Memories Under the Cherry Blossom Tree

Yulong Temple is on the top of the mountain, and it takes a lot of time to climb up.

Officer Shiratori and Officer Ayanokouji led a group of men to climb towards the top of the mountain, including Uncle Mouri and Xiaolan.

There were dense woods on both sides of the steps, and it was already dark, so the surroundings looked eerie.

However, they also met a few people wearing warrior uniforms and masks, with long knives hanging on their waists and holding torches in their hands, as if they were guarding the main road.

As soon as these people saw this group of police-looking people, they immediately dispersed. Some of them ran upwards as if to report the news, while others ran towards the forest and soon disappeared.

It was obviously impossible to catch up, and their main goal now was to get to the Yulong Temple on the top of the mountain first, so Officer Shiratori did not let his men split up, but just urged everyone to speed up their pace.

Uncle Maoli took a step forward while panting, and then noticed that his daughter was frozen in place, looking towards the forest.

"Xinyi..."

"Huh?" Uncle Mao Li was stunned for a moment, followed his gaze, but only vaguely noticed a figure in a samurai suit disappearing in the forest.

Xiaolan was slightly lost in thought.

The man was wearing a samurai uniform and a mask, but the hair that was exposed was very similar to Shinichi's hairstyle.Of course, she didn't actually see it very clearly, but she had a vague feeling that it was Shinichi.

Subconsciously, Xiaolan took a step in that direction, but found that her shoelaces had untied at some point.

Immediately afterwards, her arm was grabbed.

"Did you see it wrong?" Uncle Maoli was a little unhappy, "How could that brat be in a place like this? I don't know where he can be alive now!"

"father!"

Xiaolan shouted angrily, but she also felt that what her father said made sense.She didn't see it clearly at all, probably just because she was thinking about Shinichi, so she saw it wrong...

Besides, how could Shinichi dress like that...

Thinking like this, Officer Shiratori and others in front seemed not to notice that they were lagging behind and did not wait for them. Xiaolan hurried forward with her father.

At the same time, Hattori Heiji, Kazuha and Conan placed the sleeping Saijo and several of his apprentices together, and then began to search the temple.

Before leaving, Feng Yuan told them that the Buddha statue must be here.

Soon, after turning around, Conan immediately realized that the building of this temple was completely in the shape of jade, and at the dot was a bell tower.

The word "jade" with a "treasure cover" is the word "treasure".

He found a ladder and climbed to the top, then opened the wooden board that served as the ceiling. Hattori Heiji saw the Buddha statue with no white hair between his eyebrows at a glance.

At this moment, there was movement from the temple gate.

As expected, the police arrived.

"By the way, Kazuha," remembering the whispers Kudo had with himself and another Kudo before he left, Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha, "Don't tell anyone else about Kudo's appearance, not even Xiaolan."

"Huh? Why?"

"They can't see them anyway. Kudo also has very important things to deal with, which need to be kept secret..."

Besides, that Kudo doesn’t have that kind of thought towards Xiaolan, and meeting him will only cause more trouble...

"Besides," Conan added, "that person may not be Shinichi's brother!"

"Eh!?" He Ye was even more confused.

"Because Brother Shinichi isn't that powerful anymore," Conan explained with some heartache, "so I thought, maybe it's that Kaitou Kid who is good at disguising himself!"

Kazuya was a little hard to understand, but after all, it was what Heiji asked her to do, so she agreed.

Soon, the two waves of people will join together.

Hattori Heiji took Officer Shiratori to retrieve the Buddha statue, while Kazuha took Officer Ayanokouji to arrest the sleeping Saijo Taiga.

At this point, it's all over...

Conan thought to himself and breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed Xiaolan walking to his side.

"Conan." Xiaolan called kindly, "Are you okay?"

"No, it's okay, Sister Xiaolan..."

"That's good, really, I'm worried to death, don't run around like this next time..."

"Uh-huh!"

"By the way," Xiaolan asked, "where's Xiaokong? Isn't he with you?"

……

the other side.

Taking out the cell phone that was also stored in the package that contained his elementary school clothes hidden in the woods, Maplehara looked at it and noticed that there were several missed calls.

They were all called from Xiaolan.

Probably because of worry...

But at this time, he was still Kudo Shinichi, and he might start to transform at any time. The button-type voice changer also asked Conan to help re-record Hattori's voice, so it was not convenient for him to call Xiaolan now, so he had to think about explaining it after he got back. .

Then I just said that I would go out to play with Haiyuan, forgetting the time, and not hearing the phone call...

Speaking of which, when he came down earlier, he seemed to notice that Uncle Mao Li and Xiao Lan were also among the group of policemen.

At that time, because the medicine was about to take effect, his heart began to hurt for the first time and he couldn't concentrate.However, he was wearing the disguise worn by Hattori Heiji, so he probably wouldn't be noticed...

Thinking in this way, Fengyuan dialed Huiyuan Ai's phone number, and was surprised to learn that she and the doctor were in an unremarkable car down the mountain at the moment.

Following the path that Haiyuan was pointing at, Fengyuan arrived quickly.

"Doctor's rented car?" Feng Yuan opened the door and sat in the back seat, and asked Hai Yuan Ai.

"Well," Ai Hui, who was also sitting in the back seat, watched Feng Yuan sit next to him, "After I found out that the dark-skinned guy had slipped away, I asked the doctor to rent a car and drive over."

"Thanks, but I'll be fine alone..."

"I just want to get the research data as soon as possible," Haiyuan Ai said, staring at Fengyuan's face, "I'm lucky, you haven't changed back yet..."

From the beginning, Haiyuan has been staring at him unabashedly... Speaking of which, Haiyuan said before that he wanted to see what he would look like after recovering...

Fengyuan thought to himself, and suddenly felt that the seat cushion of this car was not very comfortable, "What about the doctor?"

"The doctor went to help with the lookout. After all, you may change back at any time. It would be bad if someone finds out."

I must have gone too far to look out for the wind. I actually didn't notice where the doctor was at all... Maybe it's because I'm not in a good condition right now?
Continuing to complain in his heart, Feng Yuan felt his heart beating violently again, which made him frown.

time is limited…

"Okay, don't waste time," Haiyuan Ai also noticed Fengyuan's appearance, "I still need to study data. There are not many opportunities like this..."

Saying that, Hui Yuanai took out a metal box from her bag, which contained the blood drawing kit she had prepared for herself.

Feng Yuan knew what was inside, and sat up slightly, preparing to provide samples according to the old rules, but then he saw Hai Yuan Ai leaning forward slightly and reaching out with his finger.

He could react to avoid it, but he didn't move.

Then, Haiyuan Ai's fingers pressed on his face, just like the last time she woke up from her dream.

"..."

"Well, the body temperature is very high, you are about to change back..." Haiyuan Ai removed her fingers, looked away from Feng Yuan for the first time, and then opened the small box.

"…Check your temperature like this?"

"Yes." Haiyuan Ai replied, "I'm really sorry. I forgot to bring the thermometer, so I had to go to the Great Detective. What, do you mind?"

"That's not..."

Feng Yuan replied and quickly completed the operation of providing research samples, "But having said that, seeing you from this perspective, it feels a little different..."

He stopped in mid-sentence.

Hui Yuan Ai sat closer, tilted her head to look at his face, and stared into his eyes.So close…

In the confined space, he could even faintly feel the air exhaled by Hai Yuan Ai touching his face, which made his heartbeat begin to accelerate violently.

faster and faster…

pain.

Severe pain suddenly came from the heart, and then quickly spread throughout the body.

Time is coming.

His heartbeat had been speeding up just now, as if it was just because the effect of the medicine was about to end, and he was about to turn back into a primary school student.

The same feeling as last time, Fengyuan felt as if his bones were being burned, and he couldn't help but clutch his chest with his right hand.

Haiyuan Ai, who also realized that the time was up, sat further away so that he could observe the overall situation and help in case of emergencies.

"Kudo?" Even though she knew that this was actually a normal situation, Haibara Ai couldn't help but shout worriedly.

But Fengyuan had no way to respond for the time being.

His brain then fell into a blank state for a moment or a long time. When he regained consciousness again, he had returned to the appearance of a primary school student.

The whole person shrank in the "borrowed" samurai uniform, Fengyuan stretched out his hand, stared at him twice, then turned his head to look at Huiyuan Ai.

"Are you alright, Kudo?"

"fine."

……

This is how our trip to Kyoto comes to an end.

Following Hattori Heiji's idea, they secretly returned the Buddha statue to Sanno Temple, hoping to surprise the abbot and Ryūen.

Although the idea was good, the proud Uncle Maori exposed the truth in advance in his boast.

Of course, this is not important.When the matter was over, they were about to return to Rice Flower. On the platform, Hattori Heiji, Kazuha, Officer Ayanokouji and Chiga Rei were all here to see off those who were returning.

"Okay, now it's Ayumi's turn."

Mitsuhiko carefully handed the squirrel in his hand to Ayumi, and Officer Ayanokouji kindly let the elementary school students get to know his pet.

"Yeah!" Ayumi also took the squirrel carefully and couldn't put it down, "You are so cute!"

Then she rubbed the squirrel's head with her face and said, "I'll take it back!"

"Absolutely not!" Officer Ayanokouji came over, "It's my best friend."

"Huh? Could it be that, officer, you don't have any human friends?"

"Uh…"

Officer Ayanokouji was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Uncle Mori next to him apologized to him and Chiga Rei and helped him out: "Um...I falsely accused you two of being the murderers before. I'm really sorry."

"Please don't say that," Miss Qian Heling said, "Actually, I already know who my father is. It was me who took the initiative to ask him not to send me any more money."

Everyone looked at Miss Qian Heling in surprise.

"Who is your father?" Uncle Maoli asked.

"It's a secret."

Having said that, Miss Qian Heling clasped her hands together.And this time, people were reminded of the old abbot of Sannou Temple, which made Uncle Mouri, Officer Shiratori and Officer Ayanokouji almost drop their chins.

Kazuya couldn't help but laugh softly.

However, then she noticed that Xiaolan was not in a good mood, and seemed to be staring at Xiaokong's child pretending to be casual...

Thinking that she listened to Hattori and didn't tell Xiaolan about what might have happened to Kudo Shinichi, Kazuha felt a little guilty, but then her attention was attracted by the noise of the children.

"You're the only one who hasn't sung it yet, Conan!" Genta said, "We've all sung it!"

Feng Yuan couldn't help but stand a little further away, ready to plug his ears at any time.

The same goes for Haihara Ai.

"Really! Why do you want to sing again all of a sudden!" Conan was reluctant.

"Singing?" As if she thought of something, Xiaolan bent over and looked at Ayumi and the others affectionately, "Have you ever sung before?"

"Yeah, ball song!"

"Did they all sing beautifully?" Xiaolan glanced at Fengyuan without leaving any trace. Fengyuan looked at Conan with something wrong, but Conan didn't seem to realize what happened at all.

On the contrary, Hui Yuan Ai quietly stood closer to him.

"No! Feng Yuan's singing is terrible!"

"Yes yes yes!"

Although they wanted to save some face for their partners, the primary school students really didn't want their spirits to be damaged, so they had no choice but to tell the truth.

Xiaolan glanced at Fengyuan again thoughtfully.

"Conan!" Fengyuan shouted quickly, winking secretly at Conan, "Quick, it's your turn to sing!"

"Ah? No way!"

The primary school students chattered and made noise for a while. Conan looked like he would rather die than obey. Kazuo, who was watching the primary school students playing with a smile, couldn't help but said: "As for the ball song, I can also sing it..."

"Ah?" Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha in surprise.

"Why do you look like you don't believe it, you idiot Heiji! I already knew how to sing..." Kazuha continued to sing, "Maruzhu Yiji, Oshi Ochi, the bride Rokkaku..."

"It's not the bride, it's the sister, you idiot!"

Hattori Heiji interrupted, then froze for a moment.

What Fengyuan said to him before reappeared in his mind again, "By the way, you said you knew it a long time ago... Where did you learn this song?"

"I learned it at my relatives' house in Kyoto," Kazuha said. "I think I was in the third grade of elementary school. I learned it from them when I went to play with you."

"with me?"

"Don't you remember? That's right, when I was preparing, you were already impatient, so you said you were going to Sannou Temple and ran out.

At that time, my relatives helped me put on a kimono, tie my hair into a bun, and even put on a little makeup!Later, I ran to Shanneng Temple to look for you, but I couldn’t find you anywhere. I patted the ball a few times and went back..."

"I really want you to see what it looked like at that time," Kazuye continued, with a longing expression on his face, "The cherry blossoms were falling all around me, and the scenery was so beautiful..."

Hattori Heiji was slightly lost in thought.

The voices of the children seemed to fade away, and only the song he heard eight years ago remained in his mind.

When he came to his senses, Kazuye had just finished singing the ball song to the children.

"The two of us finally met..." Hattori Heiji murmured.

This was heard by Kazuha, thinking that Hattori Heiji had found the first love he had been looking for, so he wanted to know from him, and the two started arguing again.

But after a while, the train pulled into the station and everyone got on the train one by one.

Maplehara and Haibara Ai were slightly behind.

"So, she is starting to doubt you?" Hui Yuarai whispered.

"yes…"

Fengyuan looked at Conan, who was being held by Xiaolan and talking happily to Xiaolan in front of him, and couldn't help but feel an even bigger headache.
