Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"That's not Miyano-kun at all. What on earth do you have in your eyes!"

Murata glanced at Ichibashi speechlessly, only to find that Yanagimachi also breathed a sigh of relief and looked over in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing!"

Yanagimachi smiled and rubbed his nose, then pointed at the woman who came closer and asked: "Children, is this the new teacher of Didan Elementary School?"

"No, we haven't met at all."

Conan had a head full of chicken feathers, holding chicken feed and looking at the visitor. Only then did he notice that the woman had blond hair and her appearance seemed to be very similar to Haihara Ai.

"Hey, Haiyuan, is she a relative of yours? Why do you look so surprised?"

"No...she is..." Although Haihara Ai could feel that the aura on the other person's body was exactly the same as that of Belmode, she would never forget the face she saw now.

But what surprised her the most was that the little girl Belmod held hands had the same brown hair as her, but it was not naturally curly, and the corners of her eyes looked like Kudo Yuji.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"Ah, I am the guardian of this child." The woman took out a business card from her pocket and handed it to Murata: "I have been thinking about choosing a school for her recently."

"It turns out to be Ms. Sera. I'm really sorry. We are not actually teachers, we are just graduates who came to our alma mater today to look back on the past."

Ichihashi took the business card and wanted to show the two of them the location of the principal's office, but was immediately stopped by Belmode.

"I just heard at the gate that everyone seems to be playing a treasure hunt and decryption game. Can you bring this child with you? I am usually very busy at work, and it is rare to have similar children who can play with her."

Belmod pushed the girl behind, said softly, "Go ahead," and then walked toward the teaching office building alone.

"Well, she wants to come here to study, but she looks much younger than us."

Mitsuhiko patted the dirt on his hands, walked up to the girl and bent down to ask: "Um...how old are you?"

"Do I have any obligation to answer you?"

The girl just glanced at him and then said nothing. As soon as she noticed from the corner of her eye that Conan seemed to be walking towards her, she raised her hand to cover her nose, showing an uncomfortable expression.

"You stink so much."

"Eh……"

Conan, who was trying hard to smile, froze in place. He was unhappy with this child and snorted, confidently saying: "I guess the lady just now must not be your mother. Do you want to know how I guessed it?"

"What's the point?" The girl frowned: "She said she was my guardian, not my mother. You could have guessed it directly."

"Huh? Really?" x3
Mitsuhiko and the three people on the side looked at each other in confusion. They looked up at the three adults, only to find that the expressions on the other side were exactly the same as theirs.

"On the contrary, you should be the leader among these children, right?"

"Oh, how did you know?" Hui Yuan Ai hugged her chest and moved his eyes back and forth on the girl.

The girl scanned several children and landed on Conan again: "You must be raising animals..."

It was obviously all about breeding, but the boy with glasses was cleaner than the others, while the two silly boys had the most stains on their bodies.

"According to what you said, she should be the leader."

Conan pointed at Haihara Ai, who didn't have a single dirty spot on her body. He saw her glare at him and smiled apologetically.

"But there's not a single stain on her, so something's wrong."

The girl held her chin and started walking in front of everyone, pacing and analyzing: "Grandma said that if a leader doesn't do any work, his subordinates will resist, so even if you show off, you must not sit aside and rest."

She stopped in front of Haibara Ai, her pink blue eyes facing each other's light blue eyes: "So you can't be the leader." "What a benefit! You can actually tell that Conan is our young detective just by observation. The core of the group!" Mitsuhiko shouted in surprise.

"But I am the leader." Yuantai pointed at his face.

"Recognize the reality, Gentai-kun." Ayumi patted Gentai's arm: "You are no longer the leader in name only."

"So now you know how I can tell." The girl stayed away from Conan, raised her index finger and shook her finger: "This is just a preliminary judgment."

【hateful! This little girl is so stinky! 】

"So how old are you?"

Hui Yuan Ai hesitated for a while, then put his hand directly on the girl's head, watching her shake a little stiffly and move a little closer.

"…three years old."

"Oh, three years old." Seeing that the girl had no obvious resistance, Xiao Ai hugged her directly, ignoring several stunned faces.

"Who...who asked you to hug me!"

The girl paused for a while and then hurriedly broke away. She pointed at Haiyuan Ai's face and found that her expression suddenly turned cold, so she hurriedly withdrew her hand.

"Let's compete to see who can find the treasure first. If you lose... then..."

"If I lose, you can do what I did to you just now." Xiao Ai was still immersed in the touch of the girl's hair.

"That's it."

"Then...what if I win?" Xiao Ai took off his hat and became serious: "If I win, I will do what I just did again."

"This... okay..."

Although something felt a little wrong, the girl didn't think too much and trotted over to Murata to ask for clues about the treasure.

"Hey, I didn't realize it, but you're quite good at taming fierce dogs."

Conan put his hands on his hips: "He's just a three-year-old child, nothing special."

"That's it." Haihara Ai picked up a branch from the breeding hut and poked Conan's waist hard: "But her grandma said that the child will go to school soon."

"Isn't it just smarter?" Conan gasped: "A three-year-old is the same as an ordinary child's six-year-old. It's not a strange thing."

"Oh?"

"Look." Conan raised his hand: "Like you, like me, like my brother, like my parents."

Unable to listen to what this guy was talking about, Haibara Ai glanced at Yoshida Ayumi and the others, and they all walked towards Murata together, leaving Conan alone.

"Library member, Miyano Akemi."

The girl held the notes from Murata and several people and read out the voices in order: "Let people see Monet, attack planes, don't paint, doctors, don't lie, don't burn the 89 amulet."

"These codes feel weird." When Mitsuhiko heard this, he thought the girl didn't know much about reading and mispronounced them. He took them over and read them again, only to find that there was really no problem.

"Hey! What do you mean?" The girl raised her eyebrows with her arms akimbo.

"No...it's nothing, I just didn't understand it very well." Guangyan winked at Xiao Ai, hoping that she would comfort the little explosive barrel.

"Okay, now that we know the secret code, let's start the reasoning competition."
