Chapter 421: A Small Step for Eri Kisaki
To Koji Shimizu's surprise, Conan actually did not call him for the first time.

And last night, Conan seemed to have disappeared and there was no news for the whole night. If Dr. Agasa hadn't confirmed that he had been picked up, Koji Shimizu would have thought that he had really been kidnapped.

While driving towards Eri Kisaki's law firm, Koji Shimizu took the initiative to call Conan.

"Moxi moxi."

"It's me, Qingshui. It's so rare. Why didn't you call me this time?"

Conan on the other side was silent for a while before he said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so impulsive. Is Huiyuan okay?"

Although Conan was knocked unconscious and taken away by Shimizu Koji yesterday without doing much, when the lights went out, Haibara Ai did contact him in the venue through the detective armband. But before he could respond, he heard a "hmm", and then, Haibara Ai fell silent.

At that moment, Conan felt cold, scared, and panicked, but more than that, he felt regret.

But there was no way to turn back at that moment. He could only use his size advantage to continue in the venue, hiding and searching, and then he fell into Shimizu Hiroji's hands.

When Conan woke up in Dr. Agasa's car, he learned that Shimizu Koji had rescued Haibara Ai. He actually wanted to call him, but in the end, he didn't make the call.

He was filled with shame and couldn't face anyone.

"Ai is fine."

Shimizu Koji's tone was calm and no emotion could be heard, but Conan on the other end of the phone felt more and more uncomfortable.

"Qingshui, why don't you just scold me?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of special interest, and I don't intend to argue with you about this matter, but I hope it won't happen again. If there is a similar thing, you'd better not mess around before you get my response. You are just an elementary school student now, do you understand?"

"Um, I know. By the way, Shimizu, the chairman of the automobile group who was killed, Kenzo Masuyama."

"I didn't kill her, but he was the one who took Ai out of the venue."

This move by Koji Shimizu completely confused Conan's little head.

"Ah? If it's not you, then who is it?! Come to think of it, Shimizu, you don't have a gun."

"You want to investigate this case again?"

"Uh, no, no." Conan's voice was a little weak.

Shimizu Koji didn't take it seriously. He just thought about it for a moment and continued, "Actually, I know who killed Kenzo Masuyama."

"who is it?!"

"Lupin the Third."

You are sitting at home and the pot comes from the sky. Shimizu Koji now admires himself for talking nonsense. Anyway, Lupin's style of doing things is to act recklessly and unexpectedly. There is no problem in putting all the blame on Lupin.

After Shimizu Koji finished speaking, he simply hung up the phone. Firstly, he didn't want to continue talking about it. The more he talked, the more loopholes there would be. It would be better to let Conan guess and fill in the blanks on his own. Secondly, it was because he had arrived at his destination.

The sign of the Hibiki Law Firm was particularly bright in the morning light. As Shimizu Koji was about to get off the car, he turned his head and saw Hibiki Eri walking down the stairs. She was wearing a purple uniform skirt with a navy blue shirt underneath, a pearl necklace around her neck, and her slender legs were graceful and elegant, wearing a pair of black high heels.

Just like the first time they met in the cafe, but today Fei Yingli put on a little light makeup, her lips were rosy, and her eyes were clear, unconsciously carrying a kind of scrutiny. She looked more radiant and charming than before, but also more mature and cold. No approach, strangers allowed.

"Aunt Eri." Koji Shimizu rolled down the car window and greeted her.

In fact, Kisaki Eri had already seen his car in front of the window, but she didn't want Shimizu Koji to get in, so she hurried down. So she didn't have any surprised reaction to Shimizu Koji's greeting, she just turned around and walked towards him.

"Ms. Yingli, you look so beautiful today."

Even though Eri Kisaki had prepared herself mentally, she could not withstand such a direct shock from Kōji Shimizu.

Her face felt a little hot, and Shimizu Koji even took the initiative to get out of the car and help her open the passenger door.

Kisaki Eri felt a bit of a headache.

"Koji, I just..."

"I know, I know. Ms. Yingli just wanted to buy me two pieces of clothing as a thank you gift. I won't think too much about it."

Koji Shimizu blinked and looked very honest.

But of course, Kisaki Eri would no longer trust Shimizu Koji's deceptive appearance. However, she was probably prepared for this call today.

Strictly speaking, this was not a thank you gift, but an apology, because three or four days had passed since Koji Shimizu rescued her.

The car started slowly, and Shimizu Koji did not continue to talk nonsense or do anything else that crossed the line. While Kisaki Eri breathed a sigh of relief, she also unconsciously looked at Shimizu Koji who was driving.

Koji Shimizu is very young, looks sunny and cheerful, and looks very handsome when he drives seriously. If he were a dozen years younger, Eri Kisaki could not guarantee that she would not fall in love with Koji Shimizu.

"I thought you would ignore me anymore." Shimizu Koji suddenly said without looking away.

"Eh." Hibiki was stunned for a moment, stretched out her hand to lift her hair, and then said softly: "Koji-kun, you are my savior, I am very grateful to you, but between us, it is really..."

"By the way, Eri, where are we going?"

Koji Shimizu ignored what Eri Kisaki said, but suddenly spoke up and interrupted Eri Kisaki.

Hibiki Eri didn't expect that Shimizu Koji would suddenly ask her this after driving for quite some time. After a pause, she took out her phone, glanced at the plan she had made in advance, and said, "Well, why don't we go to Karuizawa? I heard from a friend that there are several very good men's clothing stores opened there recently. It just so happens that the weather is very hot recently, so we can go there to escape the heat. Koji-kun, do you know the way?"

In fact, Shimizu Koji drove towards Ginza subconsciously just now, because Kisaki Eri's place was very close to Ginza. He suddenly realized that Kisaki Eri was the host today, so this happened. He definitely did not interrupt Kisaki Eri on purpose.

When Kisaki Eri told them the destination, Shimizu Koji nodded, took out the map and looked at it, then started driving seriously again.

The day was still long, and he certainly wouldn't embarrass Kisaki Eri right away after she had finally taken a small step forward.

Even though Kisaki Eri still cares about her age, seeing that she put on makeup and lipstick that she had never worn before, and that she carefully chose Karuizawa as her destination, which is an hour's drive from downtown Tokyo, Shimizu Koji felt that he still had a good chance~.
