Conan: I'm really not the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 86 Gemini
Kotomine's family, [-]-chome, Mika Town.

"I am back!"

When Kina Kotomine arrived home carrying a bunch of shopping bags, it was already 07:30 in the evening.As soon as she entered the house, she sat at the entrance and took off her leather shoes, frowning slightly and pressing her red heels.

In order to meet her favorite author, she specially changed into a pair of more beautiful high heels today, but she was not used to wearing them yet. Her feet were badly worn throughout the day.

Hearing the door opening, her mother poked her head out of the living room:
"Come back, did you have fun today?"

"I'm very happy! I also bought things for you, Qiao Na and Dad!"

Kotomine Kina felt quite satisfied when she thought about the gift she had given herself.

She took out a band-aid from the entrance cabinet and put it on her heel. She sent an email to Bai Jiu that she had arrived home safely and asked him to pay attention to rest. She came to the living room with the gift.

The living room in her house is a typical Japanese-style room with tatami mats, and her parents are sitting there watching TV.

She smelled the smell of smoke as soon as she came in, and her expression suddenly changed.Her father was obsessed with the baseball game and didn't realize his daughter was back until she came in. He quickly put out his cigarette in the ashtray and opened all the windows in the living room.

Her mother glared at him lightly, turned to her daughter and asked, "What did you buy us?"

The smell of cigarette smoke made Kina Kotomine cough a few times. She looked a little pale, but she still had a smile on her face.

"Because Dad said that his shoulders have been hurt recently, I bought him a massage pillow. It is said to be very useful in relieving pain. I bought you a set of skin care products. The shopping guide said that they are more suitable for European skin types. For Qiao Na...Qiao Where is Na? Hasn’t she come back yet?”

Kotomine Kina noticed that her sister was not here.

"She came back half an hour earlier than you." Mr. Kotomine returned from watching the game and remembered clearly the time his daughter came back. "As soon as she came back, she went back to her room to rest."

"Is she feeling unwell?" Kotomine Kina asked worriedly.

"No."

Mrs. Kotomine's expression was both angry and helpless.

"She encountered a thief who snatched her bag in the afternoon and snatched away all the information she had interviewed. She chased him for nearly half an hour to get her things back... This child is really brave. When I heard her say this, It almost scared me to death.”

Kotomine Kina was also startled: "Then I'll go upstairs and see her."

She put down the gifts for her parents and went to the second floor with gifts for herself and her sister.

Listening to her daughter's footsteps running away, Mrs. Kotomine suddenly sighed.

Mr. Kotomine heard his wife sigh, "Are you tired? Do you want me to give you a squeeze?"

"I'm not tired, I'm just thinking...the relationship between the two of them has always been so good since they were young."

Mrs. Kotomine said half distressed and half relieved.

Although they are twin sisters, their physical fitness is very different.

My elder sister, Qina, has always been in poor health and would cough non-stop when she smelled cigarette smoke. My younger sister, Qiaona, was the complete opposite. Her physique was so good that it was beyond ordinary people. Just like today, she wore high heels and chased a thief for half an hour, forcing him to give up his life. escape.

They originally thought that such a huge gap would cause conflicts between the two sisters, but they did not expect that the reality was completely opposite——

The elder sister who is physically weak is not jealous of her younger sister. She is even the person who loves her younger sister the most in the family. The younger sister has never disliked her elder sister's fragility. When she was studying, she saw her elder sister being bullied. She could pick up something and beat the other person until he cried to his parents. .

"It's a good thing to have a good relationship. When we get old in the future, the sisters can take care of each other."

Mr. Kotomine smiled brightly. He opened the shopping bag and took out the massage pillow that his daughter gave him. His smile was full of happiness: "It's really a good thing. My daughter is filial. I want to lie down and try it now."

"Let's try again before going to bed tonight. Now watch the game carefully. Haven't you been looking forward to this game for a long time?" Mrs. Kotomine looked at the empty beer bottles on the table: "I'll get you another can of beer."

She was about to get up when suddenly the corner of her eye glanced at the curtains, and she saw a black shadow flash past above them.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Kotomine noticed his wife's expression.

Mrs. Kotomine carefully walked to the window, gently opened the curtains and looked outside. She saw a black thing jumping down from the wall, and the figure quickly disappeared.

"It's nothing." She relaxed, "Maybe it's just the stray cats and dogs nearby."

……

On the second floor of Kotomine's house, Kina Kotomine took something and opened her sister's bedroom.

"You are indeed playing with your phone."

There were no lights on in the room, and Kotomine Qiao Na was sleeping on the bed, with her red head exposed.She held her phone, the screen casting a small patch of light on her face.

"If I hadn't said that I was tired and wanted to go to bed early, my mother would still be lecturing me."

Kotomine Qiao Na reached out her hand and turned on the lamp on the bedside table.

Warm orange lights lit up indoors, illuminating their particularly similar faces.

"What you did today is indeed too bold."

Kotomine Kina walked to her sister. She always had a good temper, but she couldn't help but say to her at this moment: "What if a thief brings a knife and hurts you? You should call the police as soon as possible when encountering such a thing. They I’ll handle it for you.”

By the time the police arrived, the thief had long disappeared, and they would not continue to pursue this trivial matter...

Kotomine Qiao Na huddled in the quilt and muttered in her heart.

However, she did not say this sentence because she knew her sister would be unhappy if she heard it.

A few years ago, Kotomine Kina was kidnapped and was rescued in a critical moment by several passing police academy students. She was very grateful to them and from then on she had a strong, even blind trust in the ability of the Japanese police.

On the contrary, Feng Qiaona became a reporter after graduating from college and had more interactions with the police than her sister.She has seen many bastards and rubbish who have no respect for the Sakura badge, and her attitude remains neutral - she will not scold without thinking, let alone defend blindly.

"Stop talking about this, what gift did you buy me today?" Qiao Na Kotomine shrank quietly under the quilt, trying to change the subject.

As a result, her movement was noticed by her sister, and she put a hand into the quilt and touched her leg directly.

"Sister, sister! Don't touch me, I'm ticklish!!" Qiao Na Yanfeng shrank her legs and begged for mercy.

"Then honestly hold it out for me to see." Kotomine Kina retracted her hand, "You ran so much in high heels this afternoon, do your feet still hurt?"

Kotomine Qiao Na stretched out her foot and shook it: "It doesn't hurt, I've already put a band-aid on it."

Kotomine Kina breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her sister's feet were indeed covered with band-aids and her toes were a little red and swollen, but overall they looked fine.

She opened the shopping bag and took out the gift for her sister.

A palm-sized white gift box was opened. Inside was a necklace, with a pearl hanging from the slender silver chain. Its tender white color revealed a bright luster.

"This is Mikimoto's pearl necklace." Kina Kotomine smiled, "I saw you staring at it for a long time when you passed by the window while shopping. I happened to have received my royalties for this month, so I bought it for you."

"Sister, you are so kind!!"

Kotomine Qiao Na's eyes suddenly lit up, she did a sit-up on the bed, rushed over and hugged her sister hard.

Kotomine Kina was afraid that she would hit her foot, so she quickly supported her.

The sisters hugged each other quietly, with their almost identical faces touching each other intimately under the warm light.

Kotomine Qiao Na lowered her head. She felt her sister arranging her messy hair. One after another, gentle touches made her close her eyes.

"...We can always be together like this, sister?" she asked in a low voice.

"Of course." Kotomine Kina smiled, "We are biological sisters."

They are not just sisters, they are twins.

Born together and growing up together, everything in life is inseparable from each other's presence, a half that no one can replace.

Kotomine Qiao Na arched her neck and said in a muffled voice: "It's the same even if you have a boyfriend. You can't leave me behind."

"Yes, yes." My sister smiled and touched her sister's head, hugging her more gently.

"No matter what happens, I will never leave you behind."

……

After coaxing her clingy sister, Kotomine Kina returned to her bedroom.

This used to be the bedroom shared by their sisters. They didn't sleep separately until they were admitted to different universities. It took them both a long time to get used to it.

There are various figures of Masked Superman on the desk and cabinet, many of which are out-of-print treasures. There is also a framed piece of signed colored paper hanging on the wall.

These were all collected by her sister and given to her.

Kotomine Kina sat down at the table and was about to turn on the computer when she suddenly found a note under the keyboard.

【go to bed early!No more drawing today! 】

Finally, there was a little man with his arms crossed and an angry expression. She knew at a glance that it was drawn by her sister. They were twins after all. They both had good art talents.

Kina Kotomine is a mangaka, but she is in poor health and can only serialize her works in monthly or quarterly magazines, and cannot support the high-intensity weekly magazines at all.

She looked at the note and smiled, still turning on the computer.

As soon as the computer is turned on, the chat room automatically logs in. She has only joined one group chat so far, and her online name is "The Masked Superman of Colombo".

She had just finished revising a single book to be published not long ago. What she is drawing now is not commercial work to be published in comic magazines, but content that generates electricity for love.

——She turned her favorite story into a comic by herself.

In the black and white cartoon, a girl who volunteered to act as a bait to lure out criminals looked at the speeding vehicle and stood there motionless. The policeman next to her looked anxious and rushed toward her...

The policeman's face was drawn after her boyfriend, Bai Jiu, for several months.

Kotomine Kina looked at her work with love in her eyes.

Maybe what people lack, the more they pursue something.

She has a weak constitution and has needed help and protection from others since she was a child. Therefore, she has a special yearning for heroes who can actively protect others, such as Masked Superman, and... the police.

Even though her younger sister doesn't like Baijiu very much, saying that he is narrow-minded, hooks up with female high school students, and has moral problems, she still likes him.This was the only time she didn't listen to her sister.

Because he saved her, he is her hero.

----

Under the waning moon, a brown-furred wolf jumped off the second floor of Kotomine's house. He walked through the shadows and walked on the deserted road.

The moonlight hit it, and the black shadow falling on the wall gradually lengthened and grew larger, and finally transformed into the shape of a man, walking slowly forward.

Aoyagi Binguang looked at his hand that had returned to human form, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and dialed a familiar number.

"What's going on?" The other person answered instantly.

"In addition to Bourbon, are there any other Rum's men in the port area now?"
